Song Lingling could only explain, "They say my brother switched the baby right after birth, but I don't know if it's true or not. But Lu Zhixia was able to leave so resolutely, so it must be true."
"Your brother is really something!" Ding Xueqing said, then seemed to lose all her strength. She had thought she had been ruthless enough.
In the end, Song Weidong was the more ruthless one, actually switching his own flesh and blood. He had to admit defeat!
Song Lingling said irritably, "I'm not willing to let her go like this. Is there any way to make her pay the price?"
Song Lingling was eager to prove herself, partly so that men would love her more.
On the other hand, if she succeeds, her brother will also admire her!
Ding Xueqing touched her face and said casually,
"You need to think about her weaknesses."
Song Lingling's mind raced, and suddenly she remembered what Song Yaozu had told her, so she said to Ding Xueqing,
"I know she's been making snacks lately. Do you think we could start from that angle?"
"Make snacks?" Ding Xueqing sat up again.
"Yes! I heard it from Song Yaozu. He said she made a lot of money. Now that I think about it, she was riding a bicycle that day with a broken box on the back."
Song Lingling became excited; she had finally found a breakthrough.
Ding Xueqing stroked his chin, his mind racing, and he came up with an idea. But this time, he wouldn't do it himself; instead, he would talk to Song Lingling.
"That's a good starting point. You can report her and get the health bureau to arrest her."
"Okay! I'll go tomorrow." Song Lingling was extremely excited, as if she had finally vented her pent-up resentment.
Ding Xueqing then took the opportunity to say, "By the way, I can't take care of myself with this leg right now, so you'll have to look after me."
"Okay, I'll take care of you." Song Lingling felt that the man loved her, otherwise why would he break up with a rich woman for her?
Her stomach started aching again, and she didn't know why. Sometimes the pain was excruciating. She was also experiencing continuous bleeding, which made her very anxious.

After the hot compress ended, Lu Zhixia waited for Gu Lingxiao to get dressed. At this moment, she remembered that she was going to make braised pork ribs tomorrow, which meant there would be bone broth.
So I asked Grandpa, "How about we have hand-pulled noodles tomorrow?"
Grandpa Bai said with a smile, "I can eat anything, I love whatever you make."
Lu Zhixia liked having a meal partner who wasn't picky about food.
"Then let's have soup noodles tomorrow. I'm going to make braised pork ribs for someone else. It's so delicious with the rich bone broth, it would be a waste not to eat it."
Grandpa Bai immediately said, "If you throw away perfectly good bone broth, you'd get a beating in the old days."
Lu Zhixia thought the same way; she was someone who had lived through difficult times.
Su Lan used the broth from stewing pork bones to cook noodles.
Thinking that it would be inconvenient for the family to eat soup noodles in the hospital, she decided to bring the soup over to cook the noodles.
"Grandpa! It's settled then, I'm heading back now!"
"Be careful on your way," Grandpa Bai said to their retreating figures.
"I understand," Lu Zhixia replied without turning around.
When they walked into the yard, they immediately saw the two people squatting at the door, whispering to each other.
Lu Zhixia nudged Gu Lingxiao with her elbow, signaling him to pay attention to the two people in front of him.
They quietly approached and overheard their conversation.
Zhou An'an: "Your mom is amazing, she can have three children. My mom wants to have more, but my dad won't let her."
"Why not?" Xiao Zhang asked.
Zhou An'an felt a surge of joy at the thought of her father's voice.
"Because he felt that childbirth was too painful for women, and medical care wasn't very advanced back then, so it could easily lead to death. He didn't want my mother to die."
"Then let's not have any," Xiao Zhang blurted out, then quickly corrected himself, "What I mean is, let's have fewer children in the future, no, I mean, let's all have fewer children in the future! Wait, what's that saying again?"
Zhou An'an burst into laughter; she was successfully amused by these words.
Why is this person in front of me so funny?
I hadn't laughed like that in many days. The laughter stopped when I turned around because there were still two onlookers.
Lu Zhixia looked at them with a smile. They seemed quite compatible now, and maybe they would naturally become a couple.
"Don't laugh at us. You came out without even saying anything," Zhou An'an muttered, then went to Lu Zhixia's side, hugged her arm, and started to act coquettishly.
"Xiaxia, can I come here to eat again tomorrow? I know the way here, so it's too much trouble for you to pick me up and drop me off. I'll just ride my bike here after get off work, okay?"
"Since you've put it that way, how can I refuse you? It's just that if you go back too late, I'm worried it won't be safe for you to ride your bicycle."
"You can have Xiao Zhang take you," Gu Lingxiao replied.
Xiao Zhang then belatedly realized, "That's right! I can take you home. I'm a grown man, I'm not afraid of anything. I'll make sure you get home safely."
Zhou An'an thought this was a great idea, but it was a bit too much trouble. However, she only hesitated for a short while. Anyway, it wouldn't last more than a few days, so she could just say thank you later.
"Okay! I'll have to trouble you for the next few days."
