He was released after ten days of criminal detention.
Qiao An'an arrived at Song Chi's hospital room, where the Song family was all present.
Wu Huifang and Song Wei stood guard by Song Chi's bedside, watching her with wary eyes, as if she were a monster that could harm the person in bed at any moment.
Ya Ya cried and threw herself into Qiao An'an's arms: "Mommy, Ya Ya is hungry..."
After ten days apart, Ya Ya's once rosy cheeks were now scrunched up, and her clothes were so dirty that their original color was unrecognizable. In particular, Ya Ya's cry of hunger broke Qiao An'an's heart.
Qiao An'an reached out and wiped away the tears on Ya Ya's face. She took out the eggs that the detention center had given out that morning from her pocket, carefully peeled them, and fed them to Ya Ya bit by bit. Then she looked up and coldly stared at Song Chi's family: "Divorce, plus 500,000 yuan in compensation!"
Song Wei has already given birth to a son for Song Chi.
Even without this incident, Wu Huifang would have encouraged her son to get a divorce. They had no objection to Qiao An'an's idea of divorce, but they were not satisfied with the 500,000 yuan compensation: "That's the lifeblood of our Song family, is it only worth 500,000 yuan?"
Song Chi, who had been lying in bed pretending to be dead, finally spoke up. Unlike his mother and sister, he didn't complain that 500,000 was too little, but he didn't believe that Qiao An'an, a housewife, could come up with 500,000: "Where did you get 500,000?!"
Qiao An'an said calmly, "Your savings plus the maximum loan amount from Ant Financial can come up with exactly 500,000."
As soon as those words were spoken...
The Song family members all looked at Qiao An'an as if she were crazy: "You're using our family's money to ask for our forgiveness? Are you out of your mind?"
Qiao An'an had calculated that the house they were currently living in was mortgaged. They had made a down payment of 300,000 yuan and had been paying the mortgage for five years. With the increase in the house price, if they divorced, she would receive about 300,000 yuan. Their family's 200,000 yuan in savings was considered joint property, of which 100,000 yuan belonged to her. Ya Ya was only 2 years old, so asking Song Chi for 100,000 yuan in child support at once wouldn't be too much. In total, it would amount to exactly 500,000 yuan.
She shook her head at Song Chi: "This money isn't given to you by me, it's given to me by you!"
The Song family was stunned for a long time after hearing this.
Everyone thought Qiao An'an had gone mad.
Song Chi further rebuked Qiao An'an, saying, "How dare you ask me for money? I've consulted a lawyer, and if I sue you for intentional assault, you'll serve at least three years in prison!"
Before they arrived, the police officer told Qiao An'an that the Song family didn't care whether she had a criminal record or not, and they didn't care if it would affect Ya Ya.
Now I hear it with my own ears.
This further strengthened her resolve to leave this family of scum with Ya Ya: "Go ahead and sue them. I also wanted to talk to the judge about my reasons for intentionally injuring someone. I was wondering if reporters would be interested in such a dramatic case."
If I post this on Douyin, do you think your school leaders will see it?
After your school leaders see this, will they still continue to hire a scumbag like you who cheated on your wife with your own sister just to have a son?!
"If the 500,000 yuan isn't in my account by tomorrow at the latest, I'm going straight to your boss's house!!!"
Song Chi's family is from the countryside. He has no connections or resources in this city. He finally managed to become a tenured high school teacher, and now his future looks bright.
If this matter blows up, his hard-earned secure job will probably be lost.
For the sake of a bright future, Song Chi did not request a medical examination of the injuries. Instead, he gave Qiao An'an 500,000 yuan and divorced her. When signing the divorce agreement, Song Chi also requested an additional clause: "The 500,000 yuan paid by the man includes, but is not limited to, child support from now until the child turns eighteen. The woman shall not ask the man for money again on the grounds of child support."
Qiao An'an signed the agreement without even thinking about it.
She had consulted a lawyer before, and the child support was his obligation as a father, so the agreement was not legally binding.
...
Because of childbirth, Qiao An'an has not worked for nearly three years. In addition, Ya Ya is not yet three years old and is not old enough to be sent to daycare, so it is difficult for Qiao An'an to find a suitable job.
At a friend's suggestion.
With 500,000 yuan in hand, Qiao An'an returned to her hometown in the urban-rural fringe area with Ya Ya and a few simple belongings. She planned to earn traffic fees by live-streaming her old house renovation on Douyin (TikTok). Once she had a certain number of followers, she could also start live-streaming e-commerce.
My parents died in a car accident during my sophomore year of college.
The old house was left unused.
Because no one has lived here for many years, the grass in the yard has grown to be taller than a person.
Actually, when Qiao An'an and Song Chi got married, Song Chi suggested that she sell her old house to cover their mortgage. Qiao An'an almost agreed, but unexpectedly received news that her old house was going to be demolished. Demolition was definitely more suitable than selling the house. As a result, the demolition stopped at her doorstep, leaving only her house and a single-story tile-roofed house behind it that had been uninhabited for many years.
Many people in the urban-rural fringe areas have made a fortune due to land expropriation and relocation; some even own dozens of properties.
Although they are just across the street, the houses on the other side have residential areas and green spaces, and there are commercial areas around the residential areas. In comparison, who would still buy a lonely old two-story building across the street?
Now, even if Qiao An'an's family wanted to sell their old house, they couldn't.
Looking back now, it's probably for the best that it wasn't sold. At least she and Yaya still have a home after the divorce.
Qiao An'an simply cleaned out a habitable room and began the renovation project. During the day, she set up a phone stand in the old house to shoot renovation videos, and after putting her daughter to sleep at night, she would get up to edit the videos.
Videos of renovating old houses on Douyin are very popular. Even simple weeding has attracted a lot of attention. She gained more than a thousand followers just by weeding the yard.
But simply pulling weeds isn't a gimmick.
