So what if we both go down fighting?
Now that she's found someone, she won't slink back to the village with the child!
"Sister-in-law..."
Qin Yaqing glanced at the ten-yuan note that had been stuffed into her hand, unsure of what to do, and looked at Song Lan, calling out to her.
“We don’t want what we shouldn’t take. If Captain Guan has any change, just give us 50 cents. After all, your daughter has already apologized to my sister.”
A tube of ointment for scratches only costs two or three cents. She decided to charge the other party five cents, which wasn't considered taking advantage of them, and it also prevented them from being criticized.
Furthermore, Guan Xing'er also sustained injuries, but even though the other party attacked first, Qin Yaqing did not suffer much loss.
Therefore, it's best to resolve things simply and there's no need to get entangled with the other party.
Song Lan could tell that Captain Guan and his father wouldn't let Wen Qiming off easily.
"Captain, I don't want to say anything more, but there is one thing I need to emphasize: Wen Qiming and I will have no connection whatsoever, now or in the future. If your daughter, Comrade Guan Xing'er, ever causes me trouble again because of Wen Qiming, I will, as my sister-in-law said before, call the police directly!"
Qin Yaqing remained expressionless, staring directly at Captain Guan with a calm and indifferent gaze, her tone anything but joking.
"Okay, I understand."
Captain Guan nodded.
Seeing Qin Yaqing hand over the money, he was about to wave her hand when he heard Qin Yaqing say again, "My sister-in-law just said that I hope the brigade leader will do as she said and give me fifty cents."
Seeing Qin Yaqing's resolute attitude, Captain Guan finally took out two crumpled two-cent bills and one equally crumpled one-cent bill, and handed them to Qin Yaqing. Qin Yaqing then handed the ten-yuan bill back to him.
Guan Xing'er was still criticizing Wen Qiming.
Song Lan, Qin Yanzheng, and Qin Yaqing ignored it.
"You've appeared here..."
The three of them walked to the car parked by the roadside and stood there. Song Lan asked Qin Yaqing a question, and her eyes showed obvious doubt.
Even though she didn't say what she was going to say next, Qin Yaqing understood what she was asking and immediately said, "After lunch, I went to the department store to buy milk powder for Xiaochuan. On my way back by bus, I was thinking of crossing the street when I unexpectedly ran into Wen Qiming."
He stopped me and started rambling on. I made it clear that I had no feelings for him anymore, and that I was married with children. I told him to get a divorce and never appear in front of me again. After hearing me say that…
Wen Qiming was emotional and was about to kneel down before me when Guan Xing'er rushed in front of me. Then, what you and your brother saw happened.
"The Zhou family's compound is located diagonally across this road."
Qin Yanzheng suddenly spoke up, addressing Song Lan.
Upon hearing this, Song Lan paused for a moment, then glanced across the street, patted her forehead, and said, "Look at my memory, how come I didn't think of that!"
"Auntie!"
Da Bao and Er Bao leaned against the car window, calling out to Qin Ya Qing in their adorable voices.
"Da Bao, Er Bao!"
Qin Yaqing responded with a smile in her eyes.
"Auntie, I miss my little brother Xiao Chuan! Can you bring him to play with me and my brother another day?"
Erbao blinked his big, bright eyes, and his little voice was full of babyish sweetness.
"good!"
Qin Yaqing responded with a smile.
Qin Yanzheng was already in the driver's seat. Qin Yaqing glanced at him and gently tugged at Song Lan's sleeve: "Sister-in-law, let's talk in private for a moment."
With a hint of doubt, Song Lan nodded.
After the two were about two or three meters away from the car, Qin Yaqing stopped and said, "A week ago, Xiao Chuan's cousin, Zhou Shiya's husband from Qiaoxingtun, came to Beijing with their child, but Zhou Shiya doesn't acknowledge his identity, let alone their child."
The man was probably thinking of taking a desperate gamble, and he and his child even knelt in front of Zhou Shiya. This incident caused a sensation at the university where Zhou Shiya studied. After the school's attempts to persuade them failed, they called the Zhou family. Coincidentally, Xiao Chuan's great-grandmother answered the phone.
Upon learning what had happened, Ogawa's great-grandmother fainted on the spot and is still in the hospital.
"Has the matter been resolved?"
Song Lan asked.
"No! Zhou Shiya still refuses to acknowledge her husband and child, citing the fact that they didn't get a marriage certificate. Her husband, who is staying at the Zhou family home with the child, needs an explanation. Because of this, Zhou Shiya hasn't returned to school since the incident."
However, this morning I heard my mother-in-law say that after discussions among the elders in the family and negotiations with Zhou Shiya's husband, they will arrange a job for her in the local county town and buy her a small courtyard house.
Qin Yaqing said, "Zhou Shiya disagreed, feeling that the man had no reason to want these things."
"The matter definitely needs to be resolved, and it must be resolved properly. Otherwise, there's no guarantee that Zhou Shiya won't be expelled from school. Your husband's family must have taken this into consideration before making that agreement with him."
By the way, which parent does the child live with?
Song Lan looked on with curiosity.
“The man wanted to take the child back, but Zhou Shiya refused to let the child stay with her. According to my mother-in-law, the old man in the family will not let the man take the child away. Afterwards, the child will probably be sent to my uncle and aunt at Hongxing Machinery Factory.”
The "uncle and aunt" that Qin Yaqing mentioned refers to Zhou Shiya's parents, Zhou Yanchen and Li Yao, who are the maternal grandparents of the child.
"This arrangement is not bad."
Song Lan said, "The man has returned to his hometown, has a formal job in the county town, and owns a house. It would be easy for him to remarry. If the child stays with the other party, there's no guarantee that having a stepmother will lead to having a stepfather."
Upon hearing this, Qin Yaqing thought for a moment, nodded, and agreed with Song Lan's explanation.
“With the resumption of the college entrance examination, similar incidents are countless. As for what happened to you today, I guess that Wen, the educated youth, is unlikely to get a divorce. But if you ask me, rather than continuing to live with a man whose heart is not with you and your child, it would be better to do what your brother-in-law’s cousin’s husband did and choose to divorce and get compensation.”
Song Lan sighed.
“I didn’t expect him to contact me again after so many years, especially since he was the one who initiated the breakup.”
Qin Yaqing was in a bad mood. She said, "If it weren't for my own self-cultivation, I would have slapped him twice right away." She was forced to hurt Guan Xing'er. In other words, the other party struck first, so how could she not fight back?
"Your older brother's punches were no joke."
Song Lan gently comforted Qin Yaqing. Upon hearing this, Qin Yaqing said, "Luckily, I met you, sister-in-law, and my brother today. Thank you for standing up for me!"
"You're Da Bao's aunt, it would be too formal for you to thank me and your older brother."
As an older brother and sister-in-law, if you see your younger sister (sister-in-law) being bullied, unless you're heartless, you'll inevitably stand up for her.
“I’m not estranged from you, my sister-in-law, or my brother.”
Qin Yaqing's eyes were sincere. Seeing this, Song Lan smiled and said, "I know!"
