Switched Marriage: The Coddled Little Wife-Chapter 354 She can’t abandon her child
Chapter 354: Chapter 354 She can’t abandon her child
One side of his face was swollen, clearly, he had been slapped, and even his glasses were broken. The deep myopia lens still had cracks, which looked absurdly funny.
Even a child pointed at him and laughed, "Mom, look at that man’s glasses, they look like they’re blooming."
Zhang Wenbin dodged, indescribably embarrassed, and simply left without face. Ultimately pointing at the door of the hospital room, he said, "Qin Juan, you better think it through, I already gave you a chance. If you don’t appreciate it, don’t blame me for being rude. If you really want to divorce, then leave but don’t think about taking Ningning with you. You don’t have a job, even if you go to court, Ningning will never be awarded to you."
Right after Qin Jianjun returned to the room, he swiftly opened the hospital door, scaring Zhang Wenbin into running away.
Qin Jianjun chased after him and kicked him in the buttocks.
Zhang Wenbin stumbled, nearly fell face down, but didn’t dare to stop and fled scrambling.
In the hospital room, Qin Juan was stunned after he finished that sentence.
She looked completely at a loss.
"Xiaxia," Qin Juan turned to Lin Chuxia, "if I get divorced, am I really not going to get Ningning’s custody?"
Over the years, it wasn’t that he hadn’t considered divorce, and he was well aware of his situation.
"I can’t be without Ningning, they hide Ningning precisely because they know I can’t bear to be without her, Xiaxia, what if he doesn’t give me Ningning? Maybe I should still..."
She spoke agitatedly and incoherently, tears falling down.
"Big sister," Lin Chuxia knew what she was about to say.
"You can’t jump back into that fire pit again, domestic violence is either zero times or countless times, do you want to live like this forever?"
"But I can’t give Ningning to them. Zhang Wenbin’s mother always disliked Ningning because she is a girl, when I’m around she even makes Ningning cook and do laundry for them. If I’m not there, Ningning’s life will be ruined."
All these years she had been enduring, just to stay by her child’s side.
She knew it was weak, but she had no choice, Zhang Wenbin wouldn’t divorce her for the sake of his career, and she couldn’t just abandon the child.
And, where could she go after the divorce?
Her brothers were all getting married, she, a once-married woman, couldn’t just go back and live with her brothers.
It would not only be embarrassing for herself, but even her brothers would be ridiculed by the villagers.
Lin Chuxia consoled, "Big sister, don’t worry for now, we won’t leave Ningning to Zhang Wenbin. Since he is using your unemployment against you, I’ll arrange a job for you, and moreover, I don’t believe he has spent all these years in his department without any mistakes."
Qin Yang has already started working on this.
"Mr. Lin is right," Jia Liang added from the side, "I still have a few friends in the city, I’ll reach out to them and thoroughly check into that surnamed Zhang."
Lin Chuxia didn’t expect Jia Liang to have connections here too, and immediately let him go ahead with it.
As long as they can find dirt on Zhang Wenbin.
Although Qin Yang was also capable of doing these things, having more people involved provided more avenues.
Jia Liang nodded, "I’ll go see my friends today, give me some time."
"Alright, let’s take it step by step."
Qin Juan was so moved she didn’t know what to say, tears kept falling.
Lin Chuxia comforted her for a while longer, and once she was calm, had her eat breakfast, then finally had the time to ask, "How did you guys get here?"
"There wasn’t much happening at the Bun Shop this morning, so I thought I’d come and see if there was anything I could help with, you and Mr. Lin just arrived in the city, unfamiliar with everything, and I’ve been around here for some years."
Qin Jianjun added, "I heard about what happened to my aunt and wanted to come to see her."
He comforted Qin Juan, "Aunt, don’t be afraid, I and my uncle and aunt will protect you, and also, just listen to my aunt, she definitely has a way."
Even though his uncle is mighty in his heart, Qin Jianjun felt his aunt was still mightier.
Qin Juan nodded and thanked them.
Jia Liang seemed rough, but his heart wasn’t.
Just from Hou Jinbao and Tian Jinzhu’s matters, it was evident he was a man of loyalty and moral integrity.
"Big Sister, tell me more about Zhang Wenbin’s situation, the more detailed, the better."
Qin Juan understood how crucial this matter was, so she shared with Jia Liang all she knew about Zhang Wenbin’s workplace and work content.
Jia Liang also inquired in detail about his interpersonal relationships at home and with relatives and friends.
The two exchanged information for over an hour.
"Alright, big sister, we’ll leave it here for now, I’ll go meet my friends and see what I can find, I’ll contact you if there’s an update."
Lin Chuxia asked Qin Jianjun and Jia Liang to head back together.
They had just left when the police officers from the station arrived.
Yesterday, Qin Juan wasn’t in a good state, and the officers couldn’t reach her; they came today to understand the situation.
As a family member, Lin Chuxia could stay by her side.
Listening to the fact that not only Zhang Wenbin but also his parents had beaten Qin Juan, Lin Chuxia was genuinely furious.
After all questions were asked, Lin Chuxia finally spoke.
"Officer, for situations like my elder sister’s, would this not be considered intentional injury? Not only did Zhang Wenbin and his parents beat my sister, they also tied her up and hid her under the bed, if my husband and I hadn’t shown up in time, who knows what else might have happened next, maybe they would have used even more brutal methods to harm her, even destroy the body to get rid of the evidence? It’s all possible, their actions are too egregious, I hope the government handles this seriously."
Because Zhang Wenbin’s parents took responsibility and actually got him off the hook.
The officer nodded, "We have also learned about these conditions, but what you mentioned is just speculation and hasn’t actually happened, the police must carefully consider evidence when handling cases, and without evidence, all speculation is in vain, of course, we will never wrong a good person and never let off a bad one."
"My sister’s injuries are right here and also what happened yesterday, you should have seen it when you arrived," how could this be perceived as framing.
The officer present was the same one who attended the scene yesterday.
He looked at Lin Chuxia, smiled meaningfully, "Indeed, we did see the situation yesterday, not only was your relative injured, but Zhang Wenbin and his mother were also injured, with wounds on Zhang’s mother that were confirmed to be caused by Qin Juan, what do you say, Qin Juan?"
Qin Juan pursed her lips, Lin Chuxia knew, they were trying to water it down.
When it comes to family disputes, law enforcement officers often like to muddy the waters, after all, it’s difficult even for an upright official to settle domestic disputes, and ending with both parties taking equal blame and making peace is often seen as the best outcome.
Sure enough, he shifted the topic, "Of course, we understand the family’s emotions, but the law values justice and evidence, I have already learned from the doctors that the injuries on Qin Juan’s body are not sufficient to deem the Zhang family criminal, moreover, the Zhang’s have recognized their mistakes and hope to be forgiven by Qin Juan..."
