"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."
