Chapter 355

Chapter 355: #Chapter 355 This Is Your Whole Life "Impossible," Lin Chuxia said firmly, "My elder sister was not only beaten, but she was also deprived of her personal freedom, detained."

Qin Juan would never let this matter slide lightly.

The police officer nodded, "I have understood this situation and will reflect it accurately."

After the police officer left, Qin Juan collapsed on the bed, drained of all her energy.

Lin Chuxia handed her a cup of water with sympathy, "Big sister, have some water."

Qin Juan shook her head and suddenly let out a miserable laugh.

"Xiaxia, am I really useless? A total failure in life? My life is a mess, I worry you all and I can’t even protect my own child."

"Big sister, when did it all start?"

Remembering the first time she saw Qin Juan, Lin Chuxia felt her complexion was bad and thought it was a health issue.

Contacting Ningning during Spring Festival, she found the child was also timid.

After all, it all stemmed from the family environment.

A father who commits domestic violence, a grandmother who is not loved, how could a mother’s love, no matter how abundant, make one confident and generous?

And seeing Zhang Wenbin’s arrogant demeanour, this definitely wasn’t his first time laying hands on Qin Juan.

Qin Juan looked outside the window, "I don’t remember clearly, the first time seemed to be after Ningning was born, I forgot what it was about, he’s quick-tempered, and likes to use his hands when disagreements arise..."

She bowed her head as if reflecting on something, also seemingly trying to calm her emotions.

"I thought he was just bad-tempered, and besides, when two people live together, isn’t it normal to have some friction..."

Lin Chuxia frowned, listening to her as if it were someone else’s story, feeling a surge of melancholy.

She knew, in this era, spouses physically fighting was common.

Now, while Lin Chuxia feels heartache for Qin Juan suffering domestic violence and wants to help her escape this torment, how many other women cannot break free?

"Why didn’t you think about speaking to your family about it, letting them help and make decisions for you?"

Whether it were Qin Family’s parents or elder brother and sister-in-law, including Qin Yang, knowing Qin Juan suffered such grievances, they wouldn’t sit idly by.

"It’s useless," Qin Juan shook her head, "I know it’s of no use to speak up, it just unwarrantedly worries my parents. They look down on me for coming from a rural area, not having a job, being a burden, and giving birth to a daughter ending the Zhang Family line..."

"It’s better to divorce, big sister, this is your whole life."

Qin Juan laughed, "Xiaxia, divorce sounds simple, but look around our village, how many get divorced? The whole village knows I married a city man, they envy my good marriage, once I get divorced and return home, how many would speak ill of me, their spittle could drown someone, my parents would be poked in the spine, accused of not raising their children right, Qin Yang wasn’t married then, I can’t make my family suffer because of me."

Her younger brother, at twenty-five or twenty-six, had not married yet and already the talk of the village; if she divorced, with a divorced elder sister at home, which girl would want to marry him?

Her younger brother was so outstanding, she as a sister hadn’t helped them much, she definitely couldn’t drag them down.

Lin Chuxia knew what she was saying was true, the reality was as such, but it was this very reality that angered her even more.

"Sister, how can you be so foolish, what idle talk is more important than your happiness? Must people live inside other’s gossip? I believe mom, dad, and elder brother feel the same as I do."

"I’m not as carefree as you, I don’t want to be a burden to the family, and besides, I know, Zhang Wenbin for the sake of his career wouldn’t divorce me, I’ve brought up divorce before, he threatened me with the child..."

Lin Chuxia looked at Qin Juan, understanding her helplessness and forbearance.

In the backward era of the present, how many parents who have married off their daughters are truly willing to sacrifice their sons’ interests for their daughters?

Even though the Qin Family were not that kind of people, her older sister, living in this era, had subconsciously assimilated those views.

In her past life, she had seen too many parents who, for the sake of face, advised their daughters to endure, and mothers who suffered for their children.

They might have thought of resisting at first, but for various reasons they couldn’t continue to fight, and over time, they gave up resistance.

The American psychologist Han Ligman placed a group of dogs in a cage, and whenever a buzzer sounded, the dogs would be electrocuted.

At first, the dogs would struggle desperately to escape, but after repeated experiments, they realized they couldn’t escape no matter what, so when the buzzer sounded again, most of the dogs simply lay down, not even struggling anymore.

Later on, even when the dogs clearly could escape, they gave up on trying.

When we repeatedly experience uncontrollable negative events, we develop a sense of powerlessness, feeling that we can’t change the situation no matter what.

Today’s older sister and those women who suffer unjust treatment are just like those dogs, unable to resist and silently enduring the injustice brought by the era’s norms.

........

At the police station, Mrs. Zhang finally saw her son return.

The police officer told them that the matter would be thoroughly investigated, and if both parties were at fault, they could coordinate to handle it.

She had taken all the blame on herself the day before, firstly because she worried about affecting her son’s future, and secondly because her son was abroad, surely he would take care of them.

Mrs. Zhang had great confidence in her son.

With such capabilities, reaching this position in his early thirties, and bound to be promoted soon, who wouldn’t praise him as young and promising?

What did Qin Juan have?

A woman from the countryside; marrying her son was the fortune of eight lifetimes for her.

Even stepping back ten thousand steps, this matter was ultimately their family issue, and outsiders shouldn’t interfere, let alone the police.

If it wasn’t for her meddling brother and sister-in-law calling the police, they wouldn’t have had to come here to suffer.

Betrayed by Husband Divorced when Pregnant (Kelly and Pierce)

Chapter 204 Special - Part 2 Mrs. Zhang had already decided; once they got out, she would make Qin Juan’s brother and his wife apologize.

If they didn’t apologize, she would have her son divorce her.

She had heard her brother just transferred to the city area, surely still relying on her son.

Just the threat of divorce, not to mention Qin Juan, even her brother would have to bow his head and admit his wife’s mistake.

Mrs. Zhang had been contemplating all day, thinking of what sincerity the other party would show before she would nod her head, when she saw her son brought in by the police officer.

"Wenbin, you finally came to pick up your parents. How is it? Did that little wretch bow her head in apology? She wouldn’t dare come to see us, right?

Also, after injuring her own mother-in-law and sending her family to beat people up, she has no face to meet me. But I’m not unreasonable; once we’re home, it all depends on her attitude. If she fulfills her duties as a daughter-in-law, takes good care of me and your father, for your sake, I might forgive her this time..."

Mrs. Zhang finished speaking, but saw her son and the police officer standing still, showing no intention of opening the door for them, slightly frowning.

"What are you waiting for? Hurry up and open the door. This place is really not fit for humans. I didn’t sleep well all night last night, I need to get some rest as soon as we return home. Right, tell Qin Juan to buy a chicken to stew, I need to nourish myself."

Zhang Wenbin spoke, "Mom, you might not be able to leave just yet."
