Five days later, Li Mingzhu finally finished her postpartum confinement period.

Holding her son, she rode in the family car with her husband to the College District Court.

Today is the day Li Guifen sues Wang Peng for a huge amount of child support, and it is also the day Wang Peng and his wife attend their graduation ceremony.

At the entrance of the courthouse, the couple met Hu Mingyue and lawyer Lin Changfa.

Lin Changfa was in his thirties, wearing a suit and gold-rimmed glasses, and looked very clever.

"Hello, Mr. Wang." He shook hands with Wang Peng with both hands, behaving very politely.

"Hello," Wang Peng said with a smile. "Attorney Lin, what's your prediction for the trial outcome?"

Lin Changfa was taken aback, but quickly realized that "大状" meant a top lawyer, and hurriedly said modestly, "Mr. Wang, you're too kind. Let's find another place to talk?"

At this moment, a car stopped by the roadside, and Wang Cheng and Li Guifen got out of the car. They were the plaintiffs in this case.

Wang Cheng walked up to Wang Peng in a few steps and smiled coldly: "Brother, do you really have to be so ruthless?"

"What do you mean?" Wang Peng pretended not to understand and said with a smile, "Who did I wipe out? You?"

"Brother, this is pointless," Wang Cheng sneered. "Don't think that just because you opened a shop in the Brilliant District, you can take over my No. 5 shop?"

"My No. 5 store is a 15-year-old store. The local people are used to my supermarket, you know?"

At this point, Wang Cheng's face turned even uglier. "Brother, when you leave, I'll definitely send you off with drums and gongs."

"Are you done talking?" Wang Peng crossed his arms and looked at him with great interest.

Li Mingzhu smiled slightly and said softly, "Wang Cheng, talking tough is useless. The outcome depends on strength."

"Hmph!" Wang Cheng sneered, "You should really think about the alimony issue."

He put his hands in his pockets, looked at Wang Peng, and said, "You give Mom two thousand every month, and we'll give me a thousand. Pretty good, right?"

Wang Peng shook his head slightly, his disdain deepening. "Wang Cheng, don't try to get me to acknowledge him as my mother, understand?"

At this point, Wang Peng turned to look at Li Guifen and found that Li Guifen was staring at Wang Jiye.

Her eyes suddenly became very kind, her face was benevolent, and a smile played on her lips; she looked just like a kind and approachable old lady.

Wang Peng had never seen Li Guifen so kind-hearted since he was a child.

Wang Jiye didn't know her, but he was full of curiosity about her, staring at her with wide eyes.

The air suddenly became quiet. Wang Peng and Wang Cheng stopped arguing and both looked at Li Guifen, who seemed to have "lost her mind."

Wang Peng sighed softly. It is said that parents have a special affection for their grandchildren; they may dislike their sons but dote on their grandsons.

"Mother, let's go." Wang Cheng grabbed her wrist.

Li Guifen didn't move, but hurriedly looked at Wang Peng, "Can I...can I hold the baby?"

Wang Peng's first instinct was to refuse. He and his mother were practically estranged; what if Li Guifen suddenly attacked him while holding the child...?

But the look in her eyes didn't seem feigned; after all, she was the child's grandmother.

Wang Peng couldn't make up his mind, so he looked up at Li Mingzhu.

Li Mingzhu hugged her son and followed him in. She looked at her husband, then at Li Guifen, who was almost pleading, and felt conflicted.

"Mingzhu, I'm begging you." Li Guifen forced a smile that looked more like a grimace. "Just once, just one hug."

Li Mingzhu shook her head. "I'm sorry, I have absolutely no good feelings towards you."

Hearing this, Li Guifen gave a bitter smile, her eyes immediately reddening. She shook her head and turned to walk towards the courthouse entrance.

Just then, Wang Song and Hu Juan came out of the courthouse and stopped Wang Cheng and Li Guifen.

Wang Song gave Wang Cheng a cold smile, then turned to the staff behind him and said, "Comrade Ma, this is Wang Cheng, the president of Huihuang Supermarket."

This Comrade Ma's name is Ma Jun. He is a young man in his thirties and a clerk at the court.

"Hello, Mr. Wang Cheng." Ma Jun extended his right hand, puffed out his chest, and showed his court work ID.

"Hello, Comrade Ma." Wang Cheng shook hands with him, a smile on his face.

After shaking hands with smiles, Ma Jun opened his briefcase and took out a letter: "This is a summons for you."

"A summons?" Wang Cheng's eyes widened instantly. He froze for a couple of seconds, then abruptly turned to look at Wang Song. "What summons?"

Wang Song straightened his back and looked at him with a half-smile.

Wang Peng also found it interesting and came over to watch the excitement, having already guessed the contents of the summons.

"Hmph!" Wang Cheng sneered and took out the summons from the envelope on the spot.

His guess was correct; this was a summons from Wang Song suing him for alimony, and the trial was scheduled to begin in five days.

He encouraged Li Guifen to sue Wang Peng for 2,000 yuan in child support per month, and Wang Song also made a similar demand for 2,000 yuan per month.

This is an example of using their own methods against them.

For a moment, Wang Cheng stared intently at Wang Song, "You have shares in Brother Supermarket, why do you need me to support you?"

Hu Juan immediately interjected, "Excuse me, but according to the law, he can ask you for alimony."

Wang Song sneered, "Wang Cheng, I'll disgust you just the way you disgust your elder brother."

At this point, he patted his chest and said, "I can make money lying down now, and I have plenty of time to annoy you."

Wang Cheng immediately broke down, gritting his teeth, truly disgusted by his own father.

"Hehe." Wang Song sneered, took two steps to Li Mingzhu, clapped his hands and said happily, "Jiye, let Grandpa give you a hug."

Wang Jiye remained expressionless, blinking his dark eyes as he looked at his grandfather.

"Jiye, let Grandpa hold you." Li Mingzhu handed the child to Wang Song.

Holding his grandson, Wang Song immediately transformed into a kind old grandfather, beaming from ear to ear.

Li Guifen felt a surge of envy, jealousy, and resentment as she watched him hold his grandson.

At this moment, lawyer Ma Jun glanced at his watch and said, "Boss Peng, we should go in now." He pointed to the courthouse entrance.

Wang Peng nodded and looked at Li Mingzhu, "Are you watching the children outside?"

“I’ll go in with you, and let our father keep an eye on Jiye,” Li Mingzhu said.

"Xiaopeng, you two can go and do your work without worry. Your mother and I will take care of Jiye." Wang Song held his grandson and didn't want to let go.

Wang Peng nodded, took Li Mingzhu's hand, and followed lawyer Ma Jun toward the courthouse.

Wang Peng prepared for this case for five days, but the judge only took fifty minutes to handle it.

He referenced the alimony payment standards in the provincial capital, fully considered Wang Peng's income, and took into account Li Guifen's actual situation...

The final judgment ordered Wang Peng to pay Li Guifen 500 yuan per month in alimony.

This is no small sum of money. You should know that 80% of the people in the provincial capital earn less than 500 yuan a month.

As for Li Guifen's request for 2,000 yuan per month, the court directly rejected it.

Wang Peng was satisfied with the outcome. Alimony was essential, and he didn't mind giving Li Guifen 500 yuan every month.

The judge adjourned the court, and everyone left the courthouse, but Li Guifen remained sullen.

It wasn't because he received less money, but because Wang Peng wouldn't let him hold his grandson.

Upon learning the verdict, Wang Song coldly looked at Wang Cheng and said, "Wait for the court hearing in five days. You'll have to return the five hundred yuan."
