Shi Keke took on a divorce case; the client is the wife, thirty-two years old, and she has a son and a daughter with her husband. Despite being exhausted from caring for the family, she learned that her husband was being promiscuous outside, keeping two mistresses.

And these two mistresses are one of the wife’s best friends and her cousin. Both have been upfront with the wife, telling her that they can’t leave the husband.

Upon discovering her husband’s infidelity, the wife tried to persuade him to end the relationships with these two women for the sake of their children. The husband responded with harsh words, saying if the wife forced him, he would divorce her and wouldn’t give her any property, advising her to turn a blind eye, or she’d leave with nothing!

Back then, the wife was indeed intimidated by his threats since she was a woman who came from a rural area, hadn’t received much education, and wasn’t knowledgeable about legal matters. She was unaware of Article 34 of the Marriage Law: the husband cannot file for divorce during the wife’s pregnancy, within one year after childbirth, or within six months after terminating pregnancy.

At that time, she endured silently for a long while, until the husband acted even more outrageously, openly taking the mistresses to various occasions, disregarding her feelings completely, which prompted her to make a wise choice.

At a friend’s suggestion, she found a law firm for consultation. The lawyer told her that in such cases, if she had certain evidence, she could file for divorce and easily fight for custody and at least half of the husband’s property.

The wife was determined to take the husband to court and file for divorce. However, when she took her identity certificate and other documents to the law firm for processing, she was turned away because her husband’s connections were too strong, which a small firm couldn’t afford to offend. 𝑓𝘳𝑒𝑒𝓌𝘦𝘣𝘯ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝑚

Shi Keke heard some colleagues discussing this matter at a dinner party. In fact, everyone felt sympathetic toward the woman; it’s just that reality is harsh today, and many avoid trouble by being indifferent.

However, Shi Keke was different from them. Upon hearing about this case, she tracked down the woman’s phone number and personally called to inquire about her situation.

The woman didn’t know beforehand that she was a lawyer and brushed her off briefly, unwilling to disclose much. Shi Keke immediately revealed her identity and, to gain the woman’s trust, gave her name and asked her to look up her credentials online.

However, the woman didn’t look her up at the time because she’d heard of Shi Keke’s reputation, knowing she was a renowned lawyer, and hence she shared her marital status and current situation with her in detail.

After hearing her out, Shi Keke didn’t say much but told her, "If you believe in me, get the relevant documents ready and come to Jinsheng Law Firm to find me. I will be your lawyer and won’t charge you anything."

So the next day, the woman found Shi Keke and brought out all her savings, hoping to hire Shi Keke to help get justice in this divorce case.

Shi Keke didn’t take her money and personally advanced all costs with the firm under her name because she’d never seen a woman living so miserably, clearly marrying a Wang Laosan, yet her entire belongings amounted to only over 3,000 yuan.
