Switched Marriage: The Coddled Little Wife-Chapter 352: Testimony Invalid
Chapter 352: Chapter 352: Testimony Invalid
Qin Yang stood up and took out his work ID from his pocket, handing it over and discussing with the police officers.
"This is my older sister, she’s got some serious injuries and her mental state isn’t great. Can you let my wife take her to the hospital first, and I’ll go with you guys to the police station to understand the situation."
The police officer glanced at the identification and was about to nod when Mrs. Zhang spoke up.
"No, this little bitch also hit people. She’s the one who hit my face."
Qin Yang’s cold eyes looked over, and Lin Chuxia had already spoken, "Old hag, who did you say hit you?"
"It was you... who hit me..."
Mrs. Zhang realized only after finishing her sentence that Lin Chuxia had called her an old hag and her eyes bulged in anger.
At her advanced age and with her son’s standing, who would dare to speak to her like this?
Lin Chuxia looked unimpressed, glancing around, "This old hag says I hit her, did any of you see it?"
Jia Liang and Lu Dafa were the first to shake their heads, "Didn’t see it, none of us saw it."
Zhang Wenbin held his stomach, wincing in pain, "You woman are stirring up trouble, don’t listen to them, officer. It was her that hit."
Lin Chuxia raised her hand, "Officer, they are all family, their testimony is invalid."
In the end, Qin Yang and the Zhang family were taken by the officers back to the police station to find out what happened, Lu Dafa having reported the incident, counted as a witness and followed along.
"Big Sister."
Lin Chuxia looked at Qin Juan with heartache and called out softly.
But Qin Juan gave no response.
"Let’s take her to the hospital first, I’ll go get a car."
Jia Liang said straightforwardly, "The hospital is not far from here, I’ll carry Big Sister over."
Lin Chuxia nodded, "That works, I’ll go find her a coat."
Qin Juan didn’t speak, but one could only see injuries all over her body, not knowing if any vital parts were hurt, now was not the time for pretense.
Lin Chuxia found a long coat in the closet of Qin Juan’s room and draped it over her.
Jia Liang carried her all the way to the hospital.
When the doctor removed Qin Juan’s clothes, Lin Chuxia wished she could drag Zhang Wenbin over and give him a severe beating.
She saw bruises all over Qin Juan’s body, every shape and size.
She didn’t dare to imagine what Qin Juan had gone through, how much pain she suffered.
Fortunately, after the doctor’s examination, there were no bone injuries; most of the wounds were on her back and limbs, with good care she could recover slowly over time.
The troubling part was Qin Juan’s mental state.
Arriving at the hospital, Qin Juan remained silent, just letting the doctors handle her.
"In this situation, her family needs to stay close, we doctors don’t have much we can do, she needs to come out of it on her own."
After the check-up, the doctor said privately to Lin Chuxia.
Lin Chuxia also knew that with the current medical level, there were no psychological doctors, so Big Sister could only rely on herself to recover.
Not long after, Qin Yang also returned from the police station.
"How is Big Sister?"
Lin Chuxia repeated the doctor’s findings and what had been said to Qin Yang.
Qin Yang clenched his fists tightly, thinking the same as Lin Chuxia.
Lin Chuxia gently took his fist, "Beating a person like Zhang Wenbin ten times wouldn’t be enough, but right now the most important thing is to get Big Sister away from the Zhang family, to get her out of this misery."
Qin Yang looked over at the Big Sister lying on the distant hospital bed, and spoke in a low voice, "I’ve already brought up the notion of divorce between Big Sister and Zhang Wenbin at the police station. However, Zhang Wenbin pushed all the blame to Mrs. Zhang, who admitted to arguing with Big Sister. Big Sister started it by pushing her over, which led Old Master Zhang and Mrs. Zhang to jointly beat Big Sister. Zhang Wenbin claimed he was unaware. Zhang Wenbin even told the police that this was a matter between husband and wife, that divorce should be resolved between them, and he didn’t look willing to divorce."
"We must divorce, after what they did to Big Sister, is she supposed to keep living with them?"
Qin Yang also held this view, but divorce is not something that can simply be done just by saying it.
Zhang Wenbin has cleared himself of any ties, with his status, if he doesn’t want a divorce, it will become very complicated. For now, they still have to wait until his elder sister gets better.
"Shouldn’t we tell mom and dad about this?"
He felt uncomfortable in his heart. His elder sister was having a tough time, even his wife could see it, yet he had always foolishly thought his sister was very happy.
His parents thought the same, always believing that his elder sister had married well, and that his brother-in-law also treated her well.
He suddenly hated the family’s practice of only reporting the good and not the bad. Even if his parents would feel sad seeing his sister like this, he still wanted to inform the family.
Lin Chuxia nodded, "We are all family, we are all elder sister’s support, we should let mom and dad and elder brother and his wife know."
"No, don’t!"
Qin Juan suddenly spoke from the hospital bed, her gaze drifting over, and tears streamed down the corner of her eyes.
"Don’t tell mom and dad."
"Elder sister!"
"Elder sister."
Qin Yang and Lin Chuxia hurriedly walked over.
"Elder sister, how do you feel?"
Qin Juan closed her eyes, tears streaming down her cheeks.
"Xiaxia, I was wrong."
"Elder sister, don’t talk about this anymore. What’s important right now is to recover."
Qin Yang also said from the side, "Elder sister, let’s get a divorce. Don’t go back to the Zhang Family anymore. Whether it’s in the city or returning to An City, anywhere can be your home."
Qin Juan opened her eyes, "What about Ningning?"
Lin Chuxia and Qin Yang exchanged looks. They had not seen Ningning since they arrived at the Zhang Family’s house.
They searched inside and outside the Zhang Family’s home while looking for Zhang Juan.
"I’ll go and check again."
Qin Yang said, then turned to leave.
"There’s no need, Ningning isn’t at the Zhang Family’s house, she was sent away yesterday."
Lin Chuxia frowned slightly, "Where was she sent?"
Qin Juan shook her head.
Lin Chuxia realized she was asking a redundant question. Qin Juan herself had been beaten up that badly, how would she know?
"After all, Ningning is the biological child of Zhang Wenbin. Even a tiger would not eat its own cubs. Rest assured, elder sister, Ningning will be okay."
Qin Juan looked at Lin Chuxia, "If I get a divorce, can I take Ningning with me? Ningning can’t stay at the Zhang Family’s."
Lin Chuxia only hesitated for a moment before nodding firmly, "Yes, as long as we want to, we can definitely fight for Ningning’s custody."
Qin Juan felt like she had taken a reassurance pill, tears flowing even more, "Thank you, Xiaxia."
"Elder sister, we are a family, this is what we should do."
Qin Yang put his arm around Lin Chuxia’s shoulders, "Elder sister, rest well. Xiaxia and I won’t let anyone hurt you again. We will definitely get a divorce. Tomorrow I will go and speak with Zhang Wenbin, and we will definitely bring Ningning with us."
Jia Liang came back from outside, still holding the food he bought.
It was already 10 o’clock at night, to say nothing of eating, they hadn’t even had a sip of water.
Under the persuasion of Qin Yang and Lin Chuxia, Qin Juan ate a bun and drank half a bowl of porridge.
The two of them wanted to stay for the night, but were refused by Qin Juan.
"I’m really okay, you heard what the doctor said. You all go back, for Ningning’s sake, I will also live on properly."
Seeing that Qin Juan’s condition had improved a lot, especially after Lin Chuxia assured her that they would definitely fight for Ningning’s custody, Qin Juan seemed revitalized. Only then did the two return home to the family courtyard.
