Chapter 272 If You Want to Leave, I Can Help You
"Get out of here right now! If you're late picking up the kids, I'll punish you!" Father Lin said viciously.
Mother Lin bit her lip and struggled to stand up slowly.
My knee was also hit when I fell, and every step I took caused a piercing pain.
When the two of them arrived at the kindergarten gate.
Most of the children were picked up by their parents.
Seeing this, Father Lin started cursing at Mother Lin again, "Look at you, you can't even get anything done right. Now you're here so late, if the child is taken away by someone else again, I'll teach you a lesson!"
Mother Lin lowered her head and did not dare to refute.
Fortunately, Ruby Lin and Justin Lin were not taken away.
The two of them were standing obediently at the kindergarten door, holding hot roasted sweet potatoes in their hands and wearing warm scarves.
Su Qian and Lu Yao were standing next to them, talking gently to the child.
"grandmother."
Lin Xinyi and Lin Yuchen shouted in unison when they saw Lin's mother.
Seeing Father Lin again, he timidly called out, "Grandpa."
"Why are you guys here again?"
Father Lin walked over with a stern expression.
He knew the two young men in front of him, who claimed to be Jiahui's friends. Father Lin was not satisfied with Jiahui as his daughter-in-law, so naturally he had no good feelings towards her so-called friends.
Lin Xinyi let go of the roasted sweet potato in her hand and ran towards her mother. "Grandma, what happened to you? Did you fall? Does it hurt?"
As she spoke, her eyes had already turned red.
When Mother Lin looked at her two sensible children, her originally aggrieved mood due to Father Lin's scolding instantly improved a lot.
"Grandma is fine. She just fell down accidentally. It doesn't hurt."
She endured the pain in her knee.
Force a smile.
"Girls, it's you."
Lin's mother showed a kind smile on her face.
Su Qian noticed that Lin's mother's clothes were dirty, and there were obvious burn marks and scrapes on the back of her hands, and she couldn't help but frown slightly.
"I just happened to be passing by and bought some clothes and snacks for the child. I was worried that you couldn't find the child, so I waited here."
Su Qian withdrew her gaze and explained with a gentle smile on her face.
As for Lin's father standing aside.
Su Qian didn't even give him a glance.
"Girl, you have a heart."
Mother Lin put down her things and held the hands of her two children.
"Auntie, I think your injury is quite serious. Do you want to go to the hospital for treatment?"
Su Qian stood aside, remaining polite throughout.
Mother Lin waved her hands hurriedly and said uncomfortably, "It's okay, it's just a minor injury, nothing serious."
"Okay, I'll take you back." Su Qian suggested.
It was freezing cold and it was rush hour for the nearby school, so it was difficult to get a taxi. When Father Lin heard that someone wanted to take him home, he was overjoyed.
Lin's mother was originally a little embarrassed, afraid of troubling Su Qian.
But seeing that Lu Yao had already helped her carry the things into the car, she couldn't refuse anymore. She had to walk slowly towards the car with Su Qian's support.
Lin Xinyi and Lin Yuchen ran happily in front.
Father Lin also wanted to get in the car.
But he was rejected by Su Qian.
"Did I say I sent you?"
Su Qian rolled down the car window and glanced at Lin's father.
"you--"
Father Lin's face flushed instantly. He didn't expect Su Qian to suddenly refuse to let him get in the car. He was a little angry and embarrassed. "Girl, how can you talk like that? Didn't you say you would take us home?"
"I said I was sending Auntie and the children, but I didn't say I was sending you."
Su Qian sneered.
The car window slowly rose, isolating Lin's father from outside.
Then the car drove away.
Father Lin stood there, trembling with anger, his face flushed red, and he kept cursing:
"How dare you do this to me, you little bitch!"
At this moment, the cold wind whistled past, making his cheeks hurt, and he realized that he was still standing in this snowy world.
He wrapped his coat tightly around him and muttered:
"Humph, I don't even want to ride in your car!"
In the car, Lin's mother looked restrained.
Afraid that the blood from the injury would drip onto the car, she trembled slightly and tried to keep the injured part away from the seat as much as possible.
"Auntie, don't worry. This seat can be cleaned if it gets dirty. Please don't move around anymore, or you'll make the wound worse."
Su Qian noticed Lin's mother's concerns and comforted her softly.
Lin Xinyi and Lin Yuchen sat aside, holding Lin's mother's hands tightly, their eyes full of worry.
"Grandma, does it hurt?"
Lin Xinyi said in a low voice.
Mother Lin forced a smile and said, "Good boy, grandma is not in pain, don't worry."
"Does he beat you often?" Su Qian suddenly asked.
Mother Lin froze, a flash of panic in her eyes, but she quickly regained her composure, forcing a smile as she said, "Silly girl, what are you talking about? He...why would he hit me? He just has a bad temper and his words were a bit harsh."
As he spoke, he subconsciously gathered his clothes.
Cover up the bruises and burns on the neck and back of the hands.
This subtle movement.
It did not escape Su Qian's sharp eyes, but she did not expose it immediately.
"Grandma is lying."
Lin Xinyi suddenly pouted, "Grandpa is so fierce. He often burns grandma with cigarette butts and sometimes even hits her with a stool. I saw it all."
Lin's mother's face turned pale in an instant, and she quickly covered Lin Xinyi's mouth.
"The kid is just talking nonsense." Mother Lin smiled awkwardly.
"Have you ever thought about... divorce?"
Su Qian looked at Lin's mother's evasive and embarrassed expression through the rearview mirror.
Mother Lin's body trembled violently, as if frightened by the question. Her lips trembled slightly, and after a long time she whispered, "Girl, you are so old, why do you still want to get a divorce? You have lived for most of your life, no matter what, you have to make do with it."
Su Qian was not surprised by this answer.
In the eyes of the older generation, divorce is an extremely shameful thing, especially for older people like Lin's mother. Traditional concepts have long been deeply rooted, making it difficult for her to take this step easily.
"I don't have a job and I don't have any savings."
"So what if we get divorced?"
"What will my relatives and friends think of me? I...I'm afraid of being gossiped about."
"Besides, in today's society, divorce...isn't that easy."
Mother Lin lowered her head, her eyes full of helplessness.
She thought about the "Domestic Violence Charity Foundation" on the Internet during this period, which helped many victims of domestic violence like her, which made her feel hopeful, but she soon felt that it was unreal.
"If you want to leave, I can help you."
Su Qian said patiently while driving.
Lin's mother raised her head.
There was a hint of hesitation and struggle in his eyes.
She didn't say anything else, and Su Qian didn't interrupt her thoughts.
The car fell into silence, broken only by the sound of the wheels crunching the road and the gentle hum of the heater.
Soon, the car stopped downstairs of the community.
Su Qian and the other person helped carry the things upstairs.
Walking in the corridor, Su Qian was attracted by the bright red paint.
