Chapter 583: Chapter 583

Jiang Xin suddenly broke down after being hit.

She stood up, pointing at Jiang Xiaoxiao, pointing at Fan Xiuying.

Her eyes were bloodshot, and she was trembling all over.

"Mom, how can you hit me? You always protect Xiao Xiao, and I’m the one with the lowest status in this family. Big sister and brother-in-law live with us, and you never said anything, never said a bad word about brother-in-law.

But you always dislike Dazhuang, so he doesn’t like coming to our home. You love big sister, you love little sister, I don’t say anything about that. But at least you should treat me as a human being. I endure hardships in my husband’s family, that’s my own doing, for having given birth to two daughters.

I haven’t complained, I haven’t uttered a word of resentment, but Xiao Xiao, ask yourself, have you ever treated me like your own sister? I’ve held these words in my heart for a long time. You gave big sister 3000 yuan, you gave our brother 3000 yuan.

Yes, that’s your money, and whom you want to give it to is your business, but giving me just 500 yuan is truly uncomfortable. If you don’t want to give, then don’t, but what is 500 supposed to mean? If this gets out, won’t everyone think you’re being biased? In your heart, big sister and your brother are the closest to you, so you gave them 3000 yuan.

You find me displeasing in every way, so you gave me 500 yuan. Now that you’ve married into the Song family, high-class and prestigious, you look down on me, your second sister. Is my brother-in-law wrong to say that nobody in our family respects us?

It’s my own fault, getting hit and still coming back to my maiden home, knowing full well that nobody here will stand up for me. I came back only to add to my own suffering.

Getting hit at my husband’s home is one thing, but coming back to my maiden home to get hit as well. I seriously feel like I’d be better off dead."

Jiang Xin turned around furiously and headed towards the door, possibly moving too hastily, she hit her head on the door, and fainted.

Jiang Xiaoxiao sighed and helped Fan Xiuying carry her to the bed.

Looking at Jiang Xin’s face covered in bruises.

This second sister, she’s both infuriating and pitiful. If you say she’s an ingrate, she’s not really that kind of person.

If you say she’s not, well, the words she said today would definitely make you fume with rage.

Fan Xiuying looked at Jiang Xiao and patted her daughter.

"Xiao Xiao, don’t mind your second sister, she’s been petty since she was young. She’s not a bad person, but her heart is small, and she can’t see things clearly. Judging by what she said today, I’m guessing she’s been harboring this resentment for a while.

Mom doesn’t know why you only gave your second sister 500 yuan, but Mom knows you must have your reasons, you’re not the type to play favorites. Don’t take your second sister’s words to heart. Go on home, I’ll keep an eye on things here."

Fan Xiuying was worried Jiang Xiaoxiao would really become estranged from her second sister.

Jiang Xiaoxiao shook her head, "Mom, I’m not a child, I understand these things. I grew up with my second sister, how could I not know what she’s like? If you’re trying to persuade me this way, then you’re really underestimating your daughter.

Surely, you don’t also think of me as an outsider and speak to me so formally, do you? We are sisters, even if we argue, even if we fight, we’re still sisters for a lifetime, sisters are for this life only.

I don’t want a misunderstanding to drive a wedge between my second sister and me forever.

It’s also my fault. Because I have money, when considering many things, I didn’t take my second sister’s feelings into account. I thought I was being good to her, but didn’t consider there might be knots in her heart.

Over the years, I just felt she was growing distant, felt she wasn’t close, so I kept my distance. These words should have been spoken long ago, then there wouldn’t be such disputes between sisters, right?

Mom, this isn’t just about my second sister misunderstanding me, I think there’s more to what’s going on in the Qin family. If it were simple, it wouldn’t just be because of my second sister, right? What kind of person is Qin Dazhuang? You know how he is, he hasn’t laid a hand on her all these years after they got married.

Why did he suddenly start now? I just feel there’s something off about the situation."

In a past life, Qin Dazhuang wasn’t either, from the bottom of her heart, Jiang Xiaoxiao thought Qin Dazhuang was a good person.

Otherwise, she would have already persuaded her second sister to divorce him in this lifetime.

The mother in Qin’s family isn’t an easy person either, and second sister Jiang Xin is too spineless, she can’t stand up for herself, such a person can only be oppressed.

Not divorcing is simply because Jiang Xiaoxiao doesn’t think Jiang Xin would be better off leaving Qin Dazhuang.

I can’t selfishly arrange my second sister’s life according to my own wishes.

However, I never expected Qin Dazhuang’s change to be so surprising now.

Fan Xiuying also sighed, "You’re not wrong, Mom’s been wondering too, ever since last year after the Spring Festival, your second brother-in-law seems to have changed too much. He didn’t come by our house often before, but each time he did, he was in good spirits, chatting and laughing with me and your father, and he was always quick to help with chores.

But now he hardly ever comes by, even when he does, he’s silent and withdrawn.

He often just drops your sister and the children off and then leaves. And now he’s started to lay hands on your sister. I know of it happening twice, but who knows how many more times she’s suffered when we don’t know?

Your sister isn’t capable, she’s always trying to hide these things, never coming home to tell me. This time she probably couldn’t hide it any longer and came back. Also, recently I’ve been hearing her say that the household money is running low.

Your sister and brother-in-law combined earn more than fifty yuan a month. How is it not enough to support two daughters? Plus, you gave your sister 500 yuan. They don’t have many expenses to speak of.

I haven’t told you yet, but I secretly gave her money twice, once 100 yuan and once 50 yuan. Everything seems off, do you think Qin Dazhuang is gambling with some dubious characters?"

Last time, Fan Xiuying had beaten her son once because she found out her son was playing cards for money with his coworkers from the driving crew.

That was a serious issue, that’s gambling.

She went home, grabbed a bamboo stick, and gave her son a hard beating, only then did Jiang Lei behave. So, it was easy for Fan Xiuying to suspect this.

The main thing is that nowadays, young people often gather to play these games, and it escalates, and incidents happen where the police have had to intervene to arrest people!

Jiang Xiaoxiao also had her suspicions, "Then let me have my brother go and find out. He knows a lot of people, and he can ask around the Qin family dormitories, probe into what’s going on, and come back with some answers.

We can’t let them just continue to live . Now that Qin Dazhuang has begun to be violent, my sister can’t continue living this way forever. You know, once a man hits someone, believing it’s the first time only, you can never trust him not to do it again."

Jiang Xiaoxiao cannot tolerate a man committing domestic violence, nor can she allow her sister to continue living with such a man.
