Fortunately, Zhang Qingyuan supported her, offering constant comfort. Ultimately, Zhang Qingyuan gave Feng Cuihua’s passbook and account number to Jiang Daping and the other three. After they noted it down, they didn’t spare Feng Cuihua another glance and promptly left the courtroom. It seed they couldn’t bear to stay a mont longer.

「Jin City.」
Legal Pioneer Law Firm.
In his office, Zhang Wei watched the live stream of the trial’s conclusion, a smile gracing his lips.
We really won, he thought, pleased with the outco.
Before the trial, Jiang Daping and the other three had approached him sequentially, requesting his defense, but he had refused them all.
These unfilial sons had finally faced legal retribution.
Incidents like these were common, but few people had the heart to actually pursue legal action.
Yet, without going to court, one was utterly helpless against people like Jiang Daping.
A five-year suspended sentence. I hope they’ll reform, he mused, recalling the verdict.
This judgnt reflected not only the solemnity and inviolability of criminal law but also highlighted human compassion.
None of the four received an actual prison sentence. They wouldn’t have to go to jail.
For the next five years, they could undergo reform while retaining a degree of freedom, continue working, and execute the court’s judgnt by providing for Feng Cuihua.
And then there’s Wang Dachui... He blinked, a thought striking him.
In this case, Wang Dachui had demonstrated superb defense skills, responding eloquently, single-handedly facing four opposing lawyers and utterly overwhelming them.
To be honest, even if I had handled this case, I might not have done better than Wang Dachui!
His law firm was at a critical juncture for recruitnt, desperately needing a cornerstone like Wang Dachui.
I absolutely cannot miss out on such talent!
Leaning back in his office chair, Zhang Wei pondered seriously. How much salary should I offer him? Maybe... thirty thousand? Soone of Wang Dachui’s caliber can’t be offered low pay; otherwise, he won’t accept. I have to offer a reasonable compensation package. In Jin City’s other law firms, lawyers’ salaries are typically five to six thousand, topping out at only ten to twenty thousand. The commission for each case also needs to be higher for him...
After much deliberation, Zhang Wei finalized what he considered a perfect "talent recruitnt plan."
He was confident his plan had a great chance of swaying Wang Dachui.

「Jin City.」
The nursing ho.
Two hours later, Qin Mu, along with Zhang Qingyuan, Feng Cuihua, and the other elders, returned to the nursing ho.
Upon their return, the elders who had "stayed behind" excitedly gathered around.
"Wasn’t it more thrilling to see the trial in person? I never expected the Judgnt Chief to personally chastise those four!"
"If I’d known, I would’ve gone to see it live too! Watching the stream just wasn’t the sa."
"See? Taking them to court really works! They wouldn’t dare shirk their responsibility to provide for her now, right??"
"That fourth one is actually a teacher—I never saw that coming! How can they let soone like him be a teacher?"
"..."
They had watched the entire trial from the nursing ho, each one visibly excited and genuinely happy for Feng Cuihua.
The courtroom antics of Jiang Daping and his brothers had made their blood pressure spike.
Fortunately, it all reached a satisfactory conclusion.
All four received probation and were ordered to pay monthly support.
Their only regret was not being there to witness the Judgnt Chief personally berating them.
"Oh, right! Old Zhang and Cuihua are getting married in three days. Shouldn’t we get so invitations ready?" Suddenly, soone in the crowd brought it up.
The plan was to hold a wedding in the nursing ho in three days.
For this, the nursing ho’s managent had even cleared out a large hall to host the wedding banquet.
"Yes, we do need so invitations," Zhang Qingyuan nodded solemnly.
As the nursing ho’s reigning chess champion and Qin Mu’s close friend, his wedding couldn’t be a small affair.
All the elders in the nursing ho had to be invited; no one could be missed.
His younger relatives... they definitely had to be notified too.
Plus, all his old friends who were still around—every single one of them had to be notified.
Altogether, that would be about twenty tables.
"By the way, Cuihua," Zhang Qingyuan turned to Feng Cuihua beside him, "do you have any relatives or friends to invite?"
Feng Cuihua paused for a mont, then said, "I don’t have many relatives or friends, just about twenty or so. At most, they’d fill two tables."
So, combined... that’s just over twenty tables.
Hearing this, Zhang Qingyuan frowned. That’s not many people at all, he muttered to himself. He’d heard that young people nowadays easily fill dozens of tables for their weddings. And here he was, barely scraping together just over twenty. That was completely beneath the dignity of the nursing ho’s reigning chess champion! Why, the last ti he went to Chen Family Village, the wedding at Old Song’s son’s agritourism place had over seventy tables! For soone like him, who cared so much about appearances, this was rather mortifying.
After much thought, Zhang Qingyuan finally turned to Qin Mu. The nursing ho contacted a few days ago, saying they’d cover all the expenses for the wedding banquet. They even plan to hire a special team to shoot a VCR to use for promoting the nursing ho later. The more people invited, the better, and it’s the nursing ho’s money anyway...
"Xiao Qin," he said, "you’re officiating. You should invite as many of your friends as you can. The nursing ho is footing the bill!"
Hearing this, Qin Mu touched his nose, looking a bit helpless. "Actually, I don’t know that many people, but I’ll do my best."
