Listening to her daughter's words, Jiang's mother felt as if her heart was being torn apart. She couldn't bear to look at the injuries on her daughter's body. She didn't know how her daughter could endure such a severe beating. What she didn't know was that Lin Jinbao had not only kidnapped her, but also wanted to find someone else to bully her.
She had cried all her tears in the past two days. She tried her best to calm herself down and, suppressing the urge to kill Lin Jinbao, said to Lin Jianguo, "Let's get a divorce. We'll go through the formalities tomorrow, and both children will stay with me."
Upon hearing this, Old Mrs. Shen was overjoyed: "Let's get a divorce then! My son can find a beautiful young woman and give me a few grandsons. Isn't that better than you, you troublemaker?"
"Hehe, with a mother-in-law like you, and a family like yours that's like a den of devils, even if you married ten women, they would be tortured to death."
Lin Jianguo held Jiang's mother's hand and pleaded, "I will not agree to a divorce, nor will I leave you and the children. Just this once, I promise there will never be a next time."
"Just this once, Xiaoxi was covered in injuries, and Lin Xiao is still unconscious. If your family is like this, what will happen next? I beg you, please let us go."
"No, I do not agree to a divorce."
Grandma Shen pulled Lin Jianguo away immediately: "How can you be so spineless? You should just divorce her and kick them out."
"Mother, please don't force me. I won't leave. You should go now."
Grandma Shen plopped down on the ground: "If I don't leave, she still won't let Jinbao out."
“Mother, this is the last time I’ll call you Mother. I wanted to save you some face, but my daughter is already like this, and you’re still only thinking about Lin Jinbao. Do you even respect your son?”
"What nonsense are you spouting? What do you mean by calling me for the last time? Are you abandoning your mother for the sake of those two bitches?"
Lin Jianguo nodded and said, "Yes, we've already separated our family. I've already given you the annual allowance. Please stop interfering in our family affairs."
Old Mrs. Shen jumped up and slapped Lin Jianguo across the face: "What's the point of raising you? I might as well strangle you. Fine, if you don't want me as your mother, then I won't acknowledge you as my son either. Don't come to see me after I die."
She thought that her harsh words would surely make Lin Jianguo burst into tears and come to comfort her, but after waiting a while and seeing that Lin Jianguo didn't move, she angrily clutched her chest and said:
"Oh dear, why am I so unlucky to have raised such a heartless son? Oh dear, it hurts so much."
Lin Jianguo remained motionless, and Lin Xi added fuel to the fire: "This is a hospital. If you get sick, just ask them to get you medicine. Thank you for staying here for a few days before going back. But don't expect us to pay for it."
"Shut up, it's all because of you, I'm going to strangle you."
He lunged at Lin Xi with a menacing look, trying to strangle her, but Lin Jianguo grabbed her and pulled her outside.
"Let go! I'm going to strangle this girl! What kind of spell did she cast on you to make you break off all ties with me? Er Ya, you'll die a horrible death! You sent your brother to prison, aren't you afraid of retribution?"
Jiang's mother covered Lin Xi's ears to prevent her from hearing the madwoman's voice.
Lin Xi didn't care about these words. No matter what she said, she would definitely not let Lin Jinbao off this time.
"Second son, you have no conscience. Your father died, and now you're bullying your mother? How could I have a son like you? I knew I never liked you when you were little. It seems I knew back then that you were a heartless and unfilial person."
Lin Jianguo remained silent, simply pulling her out of the hospital before letting go of Old Lady Shen.
Grandma Shen stretched out her foot to go into the hospital, but Lin Jianguo stopped her again: "I won't let you bother Xiaoxi anymore. You should go see Jinbao when you have time. Once he's officially in jail, you'll only be able to see him occasionally."
"You're so heartless! That's your nephew, how can you be so cruel? He's getting married soon, do you think the bride's family will still be happy with him after he goes to the groom's house?"
Seeing that Lin Jianguo remained unmoved, Old Madam Shen softened her attitude: "I beg you, if you are embarrassed, I will have Jinbao apologize to Er Ya and beg for her forgiveness. You just can't go to jail."
“He’s not a child anymore, he should pay the price for his actions. This isn’t a trivial matter that can be resolved with just an apology. We don’t even know if Lin Xiao is alive or dead. How could he do something like this without ever thinking that she was his sister?”
Seeing that Lin Jianguo wouldn't listen to either soft or hard tactics, Old Lady Shen cursed him for a while, but it had no effect and only attracted a crowd of onlookers.
Jinbao was still unaware of the situation. That restless brat Daya had gotten involved with Wang Mazi again. All these things were waiting for her to handle. Seeing that Lin Jianguo really wouldn't give in, she could only go back first.
When they got home, Niu was happily packing her things, humming a little tune. That girl Daya was really amazing. Even after getting divorced, she was still able to find a wealthy family like Wang Mazi. When she heard Daya tell her that Wang Mazi would be coming to give betrothal gifts in the next few days, she was so happy that she almost jumped for joy.
In this way, the five thousand yuan was in their pockets, and Jinbao's wedding was settled.
If you were to ask her, "How can Lin Jinbao get married when he's in jail?" she would definitely laugh at your naivety. She knows her mother-in-law's personality better than anyone. If Jinbao had kidnapped someone else, she might have gotten anxious and upset, but it was Er Ya who was no problem. Er Ya's family was easy for them to manipulate.
Just as she was happily calculating what to buy with the five thousand yuan, she saw her mother-in-law return. She quickly put down what she was doing and greeted her with a smile: "Mom, you're back! You've worked hard. I've already prepared the meal, and I'll bring it to you right away."
"Eat, eat, all you know is eating. Are you a reincarnated starving ghost? Your son is in jail, and you still can't eat."
"Didn't you go to find the second brother? When are they going to release Jinbao? If it's today, I'd better hurry up and tidy up his room, so he won't complain when he comes back."
"Bullshit, the second son's family won't say a word. I heard from them that Lin Shitou's son is still unconscious. Jinbao, this matter has blown up."
Niu muttered under her breath, "Isn't that Lin Shitou's son? Didn't they say he was found?"
Grandma Shen slapped him angrily: "Is that what you're focusing on? Now you should be thinking about how to get your son back."
Madam Niu then became anxious: "Mother, what should we do? Once the news spreads, the woman's family will definitely not be happy."
