WHAT THEY REALLY MEAN (PRAGMATIC SUBTEXT)

Direct spoken expression in this communicative setting.

💡 Cultural Insight: Bureaucratic Responsibility (咱法院 vs 律所)

Courthouse staff distinguish institutional duties from private attorneys; since the child was abandoned at the public institution, the legal obligation rests on the court rather than an external lawyer.
