Chapter 586: Chapter 586
"Then what should I do?"
If it were only about her, Jiang Xin might think she would choose to endure.
But it concerns her two daughters, and in her heart, these two children are her lifelines.
Even though her mother-in-law and husband always say the children are burdens, to Jiang Xin, these two kids are her life.
They are the only light and warmth in her life.
She cannot tolerate anything that harms her children.
She would fight fiercely for her children.
Jiang Xiaoxiao couldn’t help but admire her big sister; after all, her big sister grasped the key point.
Her own words didn’t quite strike the heart.
Jiang Xin needs exactly this.
Jiang Xin clutched Jiang Yue and Jiang Xiaoxiao, "Big sister, little sister, you have to help me. If such a thing really happens, what should I do? No, I can’t continue living with him. Recently, Qin Dazhuang comes home demanding money frequently, even taking small change from the kids’ piggy banks.
As big sister said correctly, I also feel that something’s not right with him now. If he ends up gambling, a family’s ruin and disaster aren’t uncommon."
Grasping them like clutching at straws.
"Don’t panic, this time he beat you to the point where you returned home, and going back to your mother’s home is a good thing. Use this opportunity to lay everything out. If Qin Dazhu doesn’t explain things clearly, we won’t be done with him yet. Also, in a couple of days, I’ll have your brother-in-law and Jiang Lei help find out what’s going on with Qin Dazhuang.
As long as he’s done anything, there will always be traces left behind. People around him can’t possibly not know, and we must find out what’s really happening with Qin Dazhu so we can respond accordingly.
He hit you, theoretically today or tomorrow he should come to our house to apologize and take you and the kids back. In this matter, your attitude must be firm; a simple apology cannot end it.
Last time you gave in too easily and went back with him and the kids, which resulted in him becoming more aggressive and hitting you. Look at how badly you’ve been hurt this time."
Jiang Yue also believes the matter can’t be simply ended.
Jiang Xiaoxiao nodded, "Second sister, I think we should take you to the hospital now."
Jiang Xin shook her head, "No need to go to any hospital, I only have minor injuries."
She didn’t say that going to the hospital would cost money.
"Going to the hospital is necessary; it is only after going to the hospital that you can prove he really caused these injuries on you. This is evidence, so in the future, when the day comes for a divorce, do you want the two kids to end up with Qin Dazhuang?
So you must prepare in advance; lack of foresight causes immediate concern. Don’t worry about the money. Back then, I only gave you 500 yuan instead of the 3000 yuan I gave to big sister and third brother, because I planned to keep the remaining 2500 yuan for emergency use.
I feared that if I gave you all the money, it would be spent on the Qin family. Call me selfish if you want, but I did feel that the Qin family had no good people, and giving the money to them would be like feeding a white-eyed wolf, with no benefit to you or the children.
You are my sister, and I can only consider your situation. That mother-in-law from the Qin family is so bad to you, yet she hopes to enjoy benefits and take advantage of you; that’s impossible."
Jiang Xin cried bitterly, hugging Jiang Xiaoxiao and crying uncontrollably.
"I’m sorry, Xiaoxiao, I misunderstood you. I always thought you were biased, looking down on me and belittling me. Now I realize, you, my sister, truly consider me."
"I am not as good as you, nor as good as our big sister, nor anyone else in the family. I’ve been living my life so cluelessly all these years, less clearly than you, my little sister."
Jiang Xin was genuinely ashamed; she completely didn’t expect her sister not giving her money was actually for her own good.
When she spoke these words, Jiang Xin truly felt ashamed.
She recalled the times she yelled at her family, believing she was venting her anger and grievances.
Only now is she realizing how ignorant and narrow-minded she was; family is who truly care for her.
The ones who really care, embrace, and consider her are only her family.
She truly misunderstood Jiang Xiaoxiao.
Jiang Xiaoxiao wiped away her tears.
"I’m telling you this, not necessarily urging you to divorce. I’m just letting you know you have family, a strong support system. If you have the courage to face all this, we will always support you and protect you and the kids.
You shouldn’t worry about gossip or humiliation. Do you think our family would be afraid of that? Would mom and dad be afraid of that? Do you think mom and dad seeing their daughter beaten would tell her, like other parents do, ’Go back and live your life, make peace after fights?’ Do you think our parents are like that? Your sisters, brother, mom, and dad are all behind you; only by being strong yourself can you protect your kids.
No matter if you choose divorce or not, we will support you. If you divorce, come home; you have a proper job and enough income to support yourself and the kids comfortably, without other burdens. Your life will be much more pleasant.
Isn’t it now that you are the one supporting the kids? How is that different from divorce?
If you choose not to divorce, then we must ensure Qin Dazhuang learns this lesson strongly, and that he absolutely cannot hit women. He also needs to learn how to respect women, and how to take care of his wife and kids.
If he cannot learn this, you can give up on this man.
If his heart isn’t with you and the kids, what’s the point of continuing this life? Why endure so much? If you do it for the kids, I think you shouldn’t endure, since the kids need a warm and safe environment to grow up positively.
Do you wish them to suffer their father’s beatings, and be insulted by their grandmother every day, to constantly think they are burdens?
If you think , I will truly look down on you, second sister. Women are people too, and women should live strong and independent lives, and there is no rule that says women must live humbly and must have sons, or must endure for their kids.
You have the right to pursue happiness."
Jiang Xiaoxiao’s words stirred a thousand waves of courage within Jiang Xin.
Indeed, what is she afraid of?
Doesn’t she often grief at night, wondering why having daughters is a sin?
Having daughters means enduring such insults and scolding from her mother-in-law, and being looked down upon by others; a woman is still a person.
Didn’t she envy her big sister countless times? The big sister also had daughters, yet her brother-in-law still cherishes her and dotes on their daughter as if she’s his lifeline.
Why hasn’t she met such a good man herself?
Upon deep reflection, isn’t it partly her own fault? She often conceded, and each retreat allowed others to get more aggressive.
Then giving way continuously led to this.
