Chapter 582: Chapter 582
What a pity, one step too late; Jiang Yue had already lifted the clothes, revealing the obvious bruises and injuries on her body, clearly not new wounds but old ones.
Both Fan Xiuying and Jiang Yue gasped; how brutal must the force have been.
Jiang Xin covered her face and began to cry.
The two children beside her also started crying.
Jiang Yue could only hold the children and walk out.
"You two, stop crying, come with Auntie to the next room, let’s wash your faces. You can play with Nuonuo, she didn’t go to kindergarten today. Auntie will find you something tasty, and you can play string games in the room, okay?"
No matter what the situation is, letting children see this is inappropriate.
As she exited the door, Jiang Yue saw Jiang Xiaoxiao, "Quickly go inside, and ask your second sister what’s going on."
By now, the second sister was beaten , and yet still hid the reason for the beating, refusing to speak.
"I know, big sister, it was second sister who called me, that’s why I came back. I think she was waiting for me to come back before she’d tell me."
Jiang Xiaoxiao specifically took leave today to come back.
Early in the morning, she received a call from her second sister, who was crying on the phone but didn’t explain clearly, just telling her to come back quickly.
In the past two years, Jiang Xiaoxiao and her second sister had become much more distant.
It wasn’t that she didn’t want to be close to her second sister, but rather that her second sister purposely distanced herself.
Jiang Xiaoxiao was straightforward; when others were kind to her, she naturally wanted to be close to them.
But if others didn’t want to be close to her, she wouldn’t force herself on them.
So she really didn’t know how her second sister was doing these years, she only heard her mother nagging recently that brother-in-law had started hitting people.
In her last life, she didn’t remember Qin Dazhuang hitting anyone.
In any case, things now have diverged greatly from the trajectory of her last life, and she couldn’t assume everything would be the same.
Jiang Xiaoxiao pulled aside the curtain and went in.
As soon as she entered, Fan Xiuying saw her daughter.
"Xiaoxiao, ask your second sister, she just won’t speak. There must be a reason for hitting, you can’t just hit someone for no reason, what’s that about? Qin Dazhuang is so outrageous, and now he hits people at the slightest provocation. Even if your sister gave birth to two girls, can you blame her for that?"
Fan Xiuying was furious.
She was both angry and heartbroken.
Her own daughter, of course she was distressed to see her beaten , it’s strange not to feel heartache.
Last time, Qin Dazhuang only slapped Jiang Xin’s face, and after she said something, he apologized repeatedly, and that was that.
But unexpectedly, in just three months, Jiang Xin was beaten .
When Jiang Xin heard Jiang Xiaoxiao had come, she hurriedly got up, wiped her tears, her aggrieved expression combined with her bruised face made her look like a bullied daughter-in-law.
Jiang Xiaoxiao approached, holding a towel wrapped with ice to apply to her face.
"Second Sister, didn’t you say you wanted to tell me something? I’m here now, so tell me. What on earth is going on? Has Qin Dazhuang started hitting people? It doesn’t look is the first time he’s hit you, why didn’t you tell the family before?"
Jiang Xiaoxiao was also heartbroken; after all, this was her second sister.
Jiang Xin grabbed Jiang Xiaoxiao’s hand, "Xiaoxiao, your brother-in-law hit me, but you can’t blame him, it’s because... Ah, never mind. Xiaoxiao, can you give me two thousand five hundred yuan?"
"Second Sister, what you’re saying is very strange. Brother-in-law hits you, and you say it’s not his fault. Who’s to blame then, is it your fault? Or is it mine?"
Jiang Xiaoxiao felt something unusual; Jiang Xin’s words seemed evasive.
Jiang Xin lowered her head hesitantly and didn’t speak.
This silence made the meaning even clearer.
Jiang Xiaoxiao suddenly realized, "It really has something to do with me?"
Fan Xiuying was also stunned, it’s related to Jiang Xiaoxiao?
"Jiang Xin, talk already. How does this have to do with Xiaoxiao? What’s going on, explain it clearly, you’re making the whole family worried, seeing you , who in the family can feel at ease?"
Facing Jiang Xiaoxiao’s gaze, Jiang Xin nervously spoke up.
"It’s because Qin Dazhuang knows that Xiaoxiao gave the eldest sister and third brother three thousand yuan each, but only gave me five hundred yuan. So he says Xiaoxiao looks down on us, our family looks down on the Qin family. Every time after he drinks, we quarrel over this, and then I end up getting beaten.
This time the beating was the worst, Qin Dazhuang is still lying at home asleep. I really can’t take it anymore, I feel sorry for the two kids, so I brought them back, I just can’t endure it anymore."
Looking at Jiang Xiaoxiao, tears began to fall.
Jiang Xiaoxiao was taken aback, and Fan Xiuying was also stunned.
It really was because of Jiang Xiaoxiao.
"So you came back here to ask me for this 2500 yuan?"
Jiang Xiaoxiao realized, asking sternly.
Jiang Xin nodded, "Xiaoxiao, regardless of the initial reason why you gave the eldest sister and the third brother each three thousand yuan, and only gave me five hundred, I don’t blame you, but now your brother-in-law is stuck on this issue.
I argue with him about it every day, and my mother-in-law also nags every day saying I’m not valued by the family, like I’m unloved by my parents. Having given birth to two girls, they keep calling them burdens. I can’t go on , I just want to take back that 2500 yuan and at least have some peace. I don’t want people in my husband’s family to see my family as a joke."
Jiang Xiaoxiao laughed in exasperation.
"Second Sister, are you saying it’s my injustice causing your marital strife?"
This is how an ingrate is raised, isn’t it?
Jiang Xin remained silent, but her meaning was clear.
Fan Xiuying walked up and slapped Jiang Xin.
"You let your husband act tough at home, you can’t control your own husband or your household, so you run back here to act tough? Are you blaming your sister? It’s your sister’s own money she earned, she can give as much as she wants to whomever she wants.
What, you get blamed for giving money for free? If I’d known this, I wouldn’t have given you a cent, let’s see what the Qin family will say then. Let them earn their own money if they’re so capable, why force their daughter-in-law to go back to her maiden home to ask for money?
Shameless! And you have the nerve to come back and talk to your sister about it! I’m embarrassed for you."
