Lu Zhixia understood that she had been given special treatment. Thinking of what the judge had said that day, she wondered who had spoken on her behalf.
She really wanted to know; this favor was incredibly significant.
Xiao Zhao glanced at his watch and said, "That's all for today. I'll head back now; I have some things to take care of this afternoon."
"I'll see you out." Lu Zhixia followed Xiao Zhao out.
Liu Yue'e brought a bowl out of the house and happened to see this scene. She was frightened at first, but then she thought about it again.
She's not from the law enforcement agency, what's there to be afraid of?
Yesterday she made contact with human traffickers from out of town.
The other party gave her a 5 yuan commission, telling her to send over any goods she had.
So she had money to buy rice, and at noon she specially cooked a pot of rice and ate several bowls with pickled vegetable shreds.
I was so hungry these past few days, I almost starved to death.
After watching them go downstairs, she went to her neighbor's house.
"What's going on? Why are there people from the court here?"
The man shook his head to indicate that he didn't know, and, too lazy to pay attention to Liu Yue'e, turned and went back into the house.
With no one to talk to, Liu Yue'e could only return to her room. None of them wanted to talk to her, and she maliciously thought that it would be a good opportunity to sell all their children.
There were dozens of children in the entire tenement building; any one of them could be exchanged for a month's wages.
Lu Zhixia dropped Xiao Zhao off at the bus stop, then returned under the blazing sun with mixed feelings.
On the one hand, she wanted to get a divorce as soon as possible, but on the other hand, she was worried that after the divorce was settled, the subsequent case proceedings would be very troublesome.
When she got back upstairs, the hallway was empty. She went straight to her room and saw Su Lan sitting on the bed, so she went over and sat down too, but she didn't want to talk right now.
Seeing Lu Zhixia remain silent, Su Lan knew she was lost in thought and shouldn't disturb her, but she couldn't help asking anyway.
What are you thinking?
“I definitely want to get a divorce as soon as possible, but I also want to find my children. I’m worried that after the divorce case is decided, it will be difficult to proceed with the children’s case.”
"Your worries are not unfounded, but girl, we need to think about it this way: your business is doing better and better. What if you don't get a divorce soon and that jerk of a man comes back to haunt you?"
"you mean?"
“A marriage certificate can sometimes protect women’s rights, but it is also a double-edged sword.” She lowered her voice and continued, “There’s a domestic abuser on the first floor. He likes to beat people when he’s drunk.”
"Is nobody going to do anything about it?"
“The police came a few times, but it was no use. The most serious time was when he was detained for a few days, but he came back to his old ways.”
"This man is awful, is there no one who can control him?"
"I don't know the specifics. I only heard it from others. She wants a divorce, but the man doesn't agree."
"Sister, I understand what you mean. I'll get a divorce first."
Lu Zhixia's eyes hardened. She would never give Song Weidong a second chance to hurt her, and she would use the law to seek justice for her child. This was her goal for the rest of her life!
We must fight Song Weidong to the death!
"Then let's get a divorce. We can deal with the future later. In this life, don't look back and forth, or you won't do anything well!"
After hearing what Su Lan said, Lu Zhixia became even more determined in her mind.
"Then I'll go to the court tomorrow and make them schedule my appointment!"
"That's right. We can't think too much in this life; we have to do things one step at a time!"
Lu Zhixia felt that sometimes she wasn't as insightful as Sister Su Lan. Once she made up her mind, she knew what to do next.
“Let’s go out to buy groceries now. I’m going to make dumplings for Grandpa Bai today, and I plan to buy two pounds of chives.”
"Let's go now. It's hot now, but there are fewer people buying things, so we can buy better ones."
So they changed their clothes and set off to the nearest market to buy groceries.
As Lu Zhixia passed by a fish stall, she thought that if she could make some fish balls and put them in the spicy hot pot, it would look much better.
So I spent more money to buy three catties of mackerel. This kind of fish has fewer bones, so the meat can be shaved out to make fish balls or dumplings.
I returned home at exactly three o'clock, having brought back a full load.
Lu Zhixia was cleaning the fish when she saw Xiao Wang walking towards her, carrying a bag of fruit in his left hand and a bag of river crabs in his right.
Su Lan slapped her thigh. "I forgot about the important matter. Xiao Wang came to see you yesterday, but I forgot to tell you."
"Sister Lan! You don't need to tell Sister Xia now, I'm here, aren't I?" Xiao Wang said with a smile. "I'm having a particularly lucky day. Someone gave me a bag of river crabs, and I'm giving half of them over."
Looking at the fresh river crabs, Lu Zhixia had already thought of several ways to cook them, the most time-consuming of which was crab roe noodles.
It's delicious but time-consuming. Back in the day, whenever the river crabs came to market, Song Yaozu would clamor for crab roe noodles all the time.
Thinking about unhappy things made her feel uneasy. A gust of wind blew by, pulling her out of her thoughts. She took a deep breath and then spoke to Xiao Wang.
"I asked you to come here so that you could participate in the sale of umbrellas."
"What?" Xiao Wang thought to himself that selling umbrellas wouldn't make much money, but he was also filled with anticipation.
"Sis, could you elaborate?"
