I quickly arrived at the courthouse by bike and happened to see Du Kang standing there talking with a few people.
"Judge Du, we owe this case so much to you, otherwise our family would have suffered a huge loss!"
"You are our second parents, and we will remember this kindness!"
Du Kang felt gratified seeing them like this; while upholding justice, he also hoped to receive gratitude from the victims.
"Go back and live a good life! You always have to look forward!"
They nodded to indicate they understood, then turned and left.
Lu Zhixia stepped forward. "Judge Du, I'm here to apply for a second lawsuit against Song Weidong! I've found the doctor and nurse from back then, and they can all testify that the child I gave birth to was a girl. You also know that Song Yaozu is a boy, so he couldn't possibly be my child."
Du Kang was overjoyed and said, "If that's the case, then the evidence is conclusive! I'll process it for you immediately!"
Lu Zhixia said, "Thank you for your help. I want to get him in as soon as possible!"
Du Kang nodded. "I understand how you feel. Can these two witnesses appear in court?"
Lu Zhixia said, "They can all appear in court, but you need to notify me in advance so I can then notify them to come over!"
Du Kang was very satisfied with the result. As long as there were two or more people involved, the evidence was valid.
"Could you also provide us with their contact information?"
"Okay, I can provide all of these for you."
Lu Zhixia was overjoyed that the storm had finally passed and the sun was shining. No matter what, she would get the person in first.
Next came the paperwork, which took more than an hour. When Lu Zhixia came out of the courthouse, she instantly felt a weight lifted off her shoulders.
She still needs to find her child, so she has to keep trying.
Then she rode her bike back to the tenement building to get the braised beef and delivered it to Director Yu.
Then, on the way, we arrived at Grandpa's courtyard. Seeing that the gate was open, we quickly pushed the cart inside.
Then we saw Grandpa Bai come out of the house. He had cut his hair and looked more energetic than before.
"Xiaxia, you're back from out of town!" Grandpa Bai said with a smile.
"Yes, Grandpa, we came back from out of town yesterday. I've been giving Gu Lingxiao acupuncture these past few days."
"That's good!"
"Grandpa, we're having lunch today. Why don't you come and eat with us?"
"I'm not going to join in the fun. We'll eat tonight."
"If that's the case, I'll go buy things first, and then I'll cook you something delicious tonight."
"Okay, then be careful while riding your bike on the road!"
"Okay, Grandpa!" Lu Zhixia pushed her bicycle back out again because she was short on time and couldn't chat with her grandfather for too long.
You can't entertain guests without alcohol, so she bought two bottles of fine liquor, which cost nearly 30 yuan, and also bought a few bottles of beer.
The woman needed a drink, so she bought another case of soda, which would also be good for the children.
Kids these days love to drink soda. Even if they don't have any at home, they'll buy it outside. It's so sweet, and you can drink it all in one gulp.
Riding my bicycle back to the tenement building, everything else was fine, but this case of soda wasn't so easy to move.
Just as I was wondering how to solve this, I saw Aunt Pang coming back from outside.
"Sis, come quick and help me!"
The plump aunt immediately came over and asked, "Why did you buy so much stuff?"
Lu Zhixia handed the bag to Aunt Pang, then picked up the soda box.
"I'm having lunch at home today, you'd like to come and eat with us!"
Aunt Pang said, "I can't possibly accept this. You have guests; it would be so inappropriate for me to go!"
Lu Zhixia said, "It's alright, they're all acquaintances. I invited Zhu Hong from the first floor."
When Aunt Pang heard that it was an acquaintance, she said, "Okay, then I'll join in the fun and help you cook the dishes."
Lu Zhixia thought Aunt Pang was a good person and had helped her several times, so she should have treated her to a meal long ago.
We finally reached the third floor.
Lu Zhixia felt that the case of soda was really heavy, and she wouldn't buy so much next time. When she saw Zhou Cheng running over, she quickly handed him the case.
"Why did you buy such a big case of soda?" Zhou Cheng asked, puzzled.
Lu Zhixia raised her hand to wipe the sweat from her forehead. "Adults can drink it, and children can drink it too."
The three of them quickly arrived at the door and saw that Su Lan had already chopped all the side dishes and ingredients and arranged them neatly on plates on the stove.
"Such a feast!" said the plump auntie. "There's chicken and fish."
Lu Zhixia said, "Since we're going to eat, we might as well eat something good."
Auntie Pang said, "I happen to have some dried wild mushrooms. They're perfect for stewing chicken! Would you like to try it?"
Lu Zhixia: "Sure! Perfect timing! I'll make chicken stew with mushrooms; I've never made this dish before."
Auntie Pang said, "Then I'll go home and bring the mushrooms over. We're in for a treat today at noon. We'll have to make a good meal. You guys steam lots of rice!"
“Absolutely!” Su Lan said with a smile.
Aunt Pang returned quickly, carrying a basin. "These mushrooms were specially given to me by my mother when I went back to my parents' home last time. They've all been cleaned and are ready to be stewed after soaking."
Lu Zhixia said, "This is a really good thing; it's hard to buy with money."
Auntie Pang: "Absolutely! These mushrooms are so delicious in soup!"
A group of people chatted and laughed as they cooked, and soon two dishes were ready.
When Zhu Hong arrived with her people, they saw that the dishes were almost finished; the basin contained both chicken and fish.
There was wine and beverages all over the ground; this meal was just as good as eating out.
She said to Lu Zhixia, "What are you doing? You've done so much!"
