Switched Marriage: The Coddled Little Wife-Chapter 362: Everything is Ready, Just Waiting for the East Wind
Chapter 362: Chapter 362: Everything is Ready, Just Waiting for the East Wind
"Of course, Mom is waiting for Ningning at Auntie’s house right now."
Knowing what would happen today, Qin Yang did not let Qin Juan know about tonight’s actions.
Knowing it would cause pain, why inflict another cut on her?
Hearing such words, Ningning’s tears finally fell, and she threw herself into Lin Chuxia’s arms, crying.
"Auntie, Grandma and the others beat Mom, I’m so scared, will they beat Mom to death? I don’t want Mom to die, I want Mom..."
Lin Chuxia hugged the little one tight, her heart aching with mixed emotions.
While it is undeniable that divorce causes harm to children, if they live in such a family, getting a divorce and distancing from those who only bring negative energy to the children might not be such a bad thing after all.
"No, no, Mom is fine now, Auntie will take Ningning to see Mom right away."
Tomorrow, the news of Zhang Wenbin’s affair with Li Wenhong will spread; staying here any longer is pointless.
Lin Chuxia took Ningning and left Li Wenhong’s house directly. Seeing that she had found the child, Qin Yang also followed them out.
Jia Liang quickly thought, "Mr. Lin, you and Mr. Qin go ahead and take the child home. I’ll handle things here."
Lin Chuxia nodded, took Ningning and Qin Yang, and went straight back to the family quarters.
Qin Juan had gone to bed early, but after hearing the commotion and seeing her younger brothers and sister-in-law leave, she had some guesses and did not sleep.
When she heard more noise, she saw Lin Chuxia and others returning with Ningning.
"Ningning!"
"Mommy..."
Mother and daughter embraced as if they had been lost and found again, holding each other tightly.
"Sister-in-law, thank you, I really appreciate everything..."
"Sister, let’s not talk like this within the family, you should hurry and take Ningning back to rest."
After all this commotion, it was already late, and Ningning, tired from crying, was gradually falling asleep in Qin Juan’s arms.
Qin Juan also knew that everyone was tired from the ordeal and took the child back to the room.
A hand was laid on her shoulder, and Qin Yang drew her closer into his embrace, as though it still wasn’t enough, and then he took one of her small hands in his own, "Chuxia, thank you for everything you’ve done for my sister."
Lin Chuxia smiled. Finding Ningning had put everyone’s mind at ease. Now, it’s time to help her sister-in-law with the divorce.
Divorce in this era is not an easy matter, and Lin Chuxia could very well understand Qin Juan’s predicament.
Nowadays, people hold a conservative attitude towards divorce, seeing it as a disgraceful thing, especially for women.
Social opinion and family pressure force many women to endure even when they are unhappy, rather than leave. ƒreewebɳovel.com
That is also why the Zhang Family didn’t see domestic violence as a big deal.
It’s not just their family—many people think this way.
Women’s tolerance has let men overstep their boundaries, and fighting has even become a commonplace occurrence.
Furthermore, the law at this time also had strict conditions and procedures for divorce.
For example, a divorce needed justified reasons, and merely incompatible temperaments did not count; even domestic violence was not considered a significant factor. One needed to consider the foundation of the marriage, post-marital relations, the reasons for divorce, as well as children’s welfare and social influence, among other things.
Divorce also requires verification from one’s workplace and thought work from leaders.
Divorce also involves issues like housing and residence registration. Without workplace certification and relocation procedures, divorce can become very difficult.
Qin Juan has been married to Zhang Wenbin for seven or eight years, with a daughter, and Zhang Wenbin has stable employment. If he insists on not agreeing to the divorce, Qin Juan truly cannot secure a divorce.
Fortunately, they have now caught Zhang Wenbin red-handed.
...
As Lin Chuxia had expected, the next day, rumors of Zhang Wenbin’s indecent relationship with Li Wenhong were spread far and wide.
Chuxia Lin didn’t rush Qin Juan into action; instead, she had her spend a couple of days resting at home with Ningning.
Ningning had been locked in a room by Li Wenhong, a little person on tenterhooks for several days, especially after witnessing the scene of her grandparents and father ganging up to beat her mother. Without proper companionship, it’s very easy for a child to develop psychological trauma.
Fortunately, Qin Juan was now back to normal and had plans for divorce, which made her appear cheerful. The smiles on her face while spending time with Ningning were genuine.
The emotional state of adults can greatly influence children.
Seeing her mother happy, Ningning was no longer afraid.
Yuan Bao loved children; back in its hometown of An City, Zhuangzhuang was its good buddy.
Ever since coming to the city, being confined to a small yard, not to mention the few household members, it has been living the most monotonous life since birth.
Today, it discovered a new little friend had come to the house and joyfully circled around Ningning.
At first, Ningning was afraid of Yuan Bao, but Qin Juan, knowing that Yuan Bao is smart and doesn’t bite randomly, took Ningning and played with Yuan Bao in the yard.
Before long, Ningning became friends with Yuan Bao, giggling at its playful antics, as if all her troubles were forgotten.
Two days passed like this, and Chuxia Lin brought back news.
Jia Liang not only gave Zhang Wenbin a severe lesson on that day, but he also hung his underwear on the gate of his workplace and put up a big-character poster.
When hearing this news, Chuxia Lin didn’t quite know what to say.
Only one word came to her mind: Beautiful!
Such a result was immediate.
The leaders talked to Zhang Wenbin right away.
Zhang Wenbin wanted to argue his case, but the rumors about him and Li Wenhong were already widespread, and no one would believe him even if he claimed it was a false accusation.
His accepting bribes was already under investigation, and this incident led to Zhang Wenbin being suspended for investigation directly.
If it wasn’t for the procedures required to dismiss someone, his leaders would have wanted to kick him out on the spot.
The impact was too bad.
"Big sister, now it’s time for you to make your move. You need to go to Zhang Wenbin’s leaders and act pitifully. However pitiful you can be, do it; you need to get the leaders on your side and demand a divorce from Zhang Wenbin. This is a medical certificate I’ve obtained from the hospital for you to show the leaders as well. I refuse to believe they won’t let you divorce with this evidence."
Everything was ready except for the opportunity.
Chuxia Lin was genuinely worried that Qin Juan’s soft personality could easily be dismissed by just a few words from the leaders.
Before leaving, she gave her a lot of advice, and afterward, Qin Juan looked at her differently.
"Sister-in-law, big sister understands, don’t worry. If the leaders don’t agree, I’ll just sit in their office and refuse to leave."
God help me, how did her gentle sister-in-law come to understand so much, and who taught her all this?
She had to speak seriously with her younger brother later; he’d better not upset the sister-in-law.
Her brother is no match for the sister-in-law.
He can’t handle it.
Chuxia Lin, unaware of Qin Juan’s thoughts, urged her repeatedly as she sent Qin Juan out of the house, and then turned around to see Ningning’s anxious little face, instantly revealing a big smile.
"Ningning, don’t be afraid. Mommy is going to take care of some important matters, and she will be fine. Once Mommy has taken care of everything, Ningning can always be with Mommy, as well as live with your little uncle and aunt. Would you like to live with us?"
The big, grape-like eyes of Ningning immediately revealed a hint of joy, "Can I?"
Chuxia Lin nodded, "Of course, it’s like these past few days. Are you happy here, Ningning?"
"Happy, little aunt, I’d like to live in your house."
"This is our home, and it will also be Ningning’s home in the future. Let’s go, your little aunt is going to take you to buy new clothes."
She didn’t want anything from the Zhang Family’s house.
Since she was going to start a new life with the child, everything had to be new.
