Chapter 72
Qin Juan had never regretted it so much. She still remembered that when she fell in love with Zhao Qianjin, her grandmother said, "Juanzi, this man has a crooked eye and is not a good person."
Unfortunately, she didn't listen to anyone at that time and was determined to be with this man. She felt that this man was very gentle and would treat him well for the rest of her life.
They had a good time after they got married, but everything changed when she gave birth to a child.
According to the family planning policy, only one child can be born. She wanted the Zhao family to be extinct. First, Gao Yulan changed her attitude, and then Zhao Qianjin also changed his attitude after being laughed at outside. From then on, she and Nian Nian no longer had a good life.
Zhao Di, Zhao Di.
What a ridiculous name! She nicknamed her child Nian Nian, but it still couldn't change the fate of the mother and daughter.
She endured it all for the sake of her children, but in return she was still beaten and verbally abused.
Qin Xiang was right, men are like dogs, and dogs will always eat shit. Men will only be honest if they are hung on the wall.
She doesn't want to live like this anymore. She doesn't want to waste time and tolerate this man anymore. She wants a divorce.
The last time Zhao Qianjin knelt down to beg her, she softened her heart. This time, even if Zhao Qianjin died in front of her, she would not waver.
Qin Juan finally understood and felt calm. She looked at Zhao Qianjin and said, "Zhao Qianjin, let's get a divorce. Whether you agree or not, I'm going to divorce you."
Zhao Qianjin's raised fist suddenly stopped, perhaps because he thought of Qin Yang and Qin Xiang, but he suddenly felt a little scared.
He gritted his teeth and said, "You want to divorce me? No way."
Qin Juan smiled, but the wound at the corner of her mouth made the smile seem particularly ironic. "Then you try it."
——
Two days had passed when Qin Xiang learned that Qin Juan wanted a divorce.
It was her second brother, Qin Hai, who called her. Qin Hai frowned and said, "Qin Juan and Nian Nian are now living with me. I originally thought it wouldn't be that difficult, but it seems it's not that simple either. Zhao Qianjin refused to divorce and even came to our house. Mom came over and cried and made a scene, refusing to let us divorce. She said she would die if Juanzi wanted a divorce."
Qin Xiang couldn't help but sneer when she heard this. "She likes death so much, so why are you trying to stop her?"
Qin Hai was stunned when he heard this. Qin Xiang laughed sarcastically, "We are filial children. If she insists on dying, wouldn't it be unfilial for us to stop her? We shouldn't stop her, just wait and see if she dares. She may not have learned anything else from being with Tanaka Mei, but she did learn to throw tantrums and threaten people with death."
Her voice became louder and louder, word by word. Fortunately, Lian Fengying was not around, otherwise Qin Xiang would really make way for her.
Qin Hai was helpless. "She's been taken back by Dad. Dad said this is Juanzi's business. Juanzi is old enough to make her own decisions about her life. If she wants to divorce, she can. He said he supports it."
God knows how upset Qin Baotian felt when he saw his daughter being beaten like that. It was even worse than when Qin Xiang was beaten. Wang Junsheng was a bad man, but he never raised a finger against Qin Xiang. He had no idea that Zhao Qianjin had beaten his daughter like that.
Qin Hai was still happy when he thought of his father's attitude yesterday. "Now the Zhao family is playing tricks on me, throwing tantrums and making a scene, refusing to divorce me. So I can only discuss this matter with you and the third brother."
Qin Xiang sneered, "What's there to discuss? Second brother, take Fourth Sister to the police station to report the case. They're so beaten up that they can't be forgiven so easily. Tell them that there will be no reconciliation unless you agree to a divorce. Third brother and I will be back immediately."
After all, Qin Xiang had just finished filling out the application form and had just returned from the university town after checking various things. He was planning to have a good rest for a few days, but he didn't expect such a thing to happen.
Qin Xiang hung up the phone and returned to the store. He asked He Liping to call the third brother, while Qin Xiang called Mi Hongjun and Tan Xiu over. "The third brother and I are going back to the county. You two should look after the store while I'm gone. Remember to find Brother Zhao if you need anything. You two should discuss the shipment. We'll be back after we're done."
Tan Xiu and Mi Hongjun looked at each other and nodded repeatedly. Mi Hongjun said worriedly, "How about I go back with you?"
"It's no use for you to follow me back, just guard the store."
After Qin Xiang finished speaking, she asked them to leave, packed her luggage simply, and went to get some clothes for her third brother.
Qin Yang came back in a hurry, his face anxious, "What happened?"
"Let's talk on the way." Qin Xiang and Qin Yang went downstairs and hurried to the station. On the way, Qin Xiang told Qin Yang everything about Qin Juan.
Qin Yang's eyes flashed with ruthlessness, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Zhao Qianjin, I won't let him go."
Qin Xiang knew what his third brother was thinking, so she suppressed her anger and said, "Third brother, we can't do anything in the early stages. I've already told my second brother to take my fourth sister to the police station to report the case. This is a serious act of domestic violence, and everyone in their compound can testify. If the police station can't suppress it, we can only threaten him with violence. As long as we get a divorce, we can put a sack on him and beat him up in private. Before the divorce, we can't lift a finger on him, otherwise he will become right even if he is wrong."
Qin Yang understood this too well. He nodded gloomily, "I understand."
Just as she finished speaking, the sound of a car beeping sounded beside her. Qin Xiang turned her head and looked. It was the familiar Mercedes-Benz again. The window was rolled down, revealing Miao Sheng's face. He said with a smile, "Miss Qin, where are you going? If we are going on the way, we can give you a ride."
Qin Xiang was a little surprised, but still said politely, "Let's go back to Qingshui County."
Miao Sheng laughed, "That's true..." He glanced at the back seat and changed the subject, "That's just on the way. We're going to Lin City, so I can just drop you off."
Qin Xiang looked strange when he heard this, "They are not on the same line."
"Really?" Miao Sheng was embarrassed for a moment, then said, "Then let's consider it as a thank you for helping with the meal. We'll give you a ride. Come on in, you're welcome."
Qin Xiang and Qin Yang looked at each other, with anxiety in their eyes. They could indeed take a bus, but the bus to the county town would not arrive until three or four in the afternoon, and they really didn't want to waste any time.
After a slight hesitation, Qin Xiang thanked him, "Thank you very much."
Qin Xiang got on the passenger seat, and Qin Yang sat in the back driver's seat, a short distance away from Meng Huaiqing.
Meng Huaiqing nodded slightly as a greeting, and Qin Yang thanked him, "Thank you very much."
Meng Huaiqing's low voice sounded, "You're welcome."
But his eyes fell on the woman in the front seat.
Qin Xiang felt that since her third brother had already thanked her, it would seem contrived for her to thank him again. "Next time, Mr. Meng needs help with cooking, just let Uncle Ge tell me."
She thought Meng Huaiqing would at least be polite, but Meng Huaiqing just said, "Okay."
Now Qin Xiang didn't know what to do next. The atmosphere in the car was weird, but Miao Sheng drove fast and steadily, heading towards Qingshui County at a rapid speed.
After a while, Miao Sheng asked casually, "Ms. Qin and Mr. Qin seem very anxious?"
Qin Xiang nodded, and couldn't help frowning when she thought of her fourth sister. In her and her third brother's opinion, the divorce should have been ended long ago, but she didn't expect it to be dragged on until now. However, it's not too late now, and it's better than losing her life in the previous life.
She hummed, "There are some urgent matters that need help."
Miao Sheng smiled and said, "Excuse me, our boss has interacted with quite a few people since he came back. If you need any help, perhaps you could ask him for help?"
After saying that, Miao Sheng winked at Qin Xiang and whispered, "Really, he's amazing."
Listening to his words, Meng Huaiqing's expression didn't change at all. However, Qin Xiang felt that a big boss like Meng Huaiqing might only know people in the municipal government. How could people like them from a small county know anyone like him?
She shook her head and said helplessly, "No, it's not a business matter, it's a private matter at home, I'm afraid you can't help with it."
After saying that, Qin Xiang looked at the scenery outside the car, but her heart was extremely anxious.
Miao Sheng wanted to say more after hearing what she said, but Meng Huaiqing in the back seat coughed lightly, and Miao Sheng immediately stopped talking. "Then if you need any help, please remember to let me know. Our boss is very grateful for your help in taking care of my uncle and cooking."
Smart, give yourself a thumbs up.
After saying this, Miao Sheng stopped talking and drove obediently.
He always felt that his boss treated Qin Xiang differently, but Assistant Cen insisted that he was overthinking it. He felt that this kind of thing was really hard to say, because Qin Xiang was really beautiful and an excellent person. It was normal for a gentleman to be attracted to a beautiful lady.
Of course he understood that Assistant Cen thought he was overthinking it because Qin Xiang's status was not equal to that of the boss, but love is never completely equal.
The journey was supposed to take five or six hours, but with Miao Sheng speeding along, they saw the border of Qingshui County in just three hours. As they were about to reach the county seat, Qin Xiang said, "Just drop us off here. Don't delay your work."
"It's all here. We'll just take you there." Miao Sheng said as he glanced at his boss in the rearview mirror. Seeing that there was no other expression on the boss's face, he knew that he had guessed right.
Qin Xiang hesitated, "Won't this delay your work?"
Miao Sheng: "It'll only take a few minutes, no delay."
After saying that, Miao Sheng glanced at the boss again. Very good, the boss still had no other reaction.
Qin Xiang thanked him again, "Mr. Meng, thank you very much."
Meng Huaiqing raised his eyelids and glanced at her. "It's just a piece of cake."
The atmosphere in the car became tense again. Qin Xiang didn't know if it was her illusion, but she found that every time she got in Meng Huaiqing's car, the atmosphere would become awkward.
Fortunately, they entered the county town. Qin Xiang pointed out the location to Miao Sheng and went straight to Qin Hai.
When they arrived at the place, Qin Xiang and his sister got out of the car. Qin Xiang sincerely thanked them, "Thank you, Mr. Meng."
Meng Huaiqing rolled down the window and asked, "Do you really not need help?"
Qin Xiang shook his head helplessly, "It's not something you can help with. Goodbye."
She waved her hand and turned around. Qin Xiang, who had been silent all this time, looked at Meng Huaiqing twice more.
Meng Huaiqing looked gentle and nodded at Qin Yang, "See you later."
"Thank you very much."
The brother and sister trotted into Qin Hai's courtyard. Fortunately, no one cared about them getting out of the luxury car and let them run all the way to the second floor.
However, the door of Qin Hai's house opened, and Huang Xiufen's mother Cao Yanrong came out. "Oh, Qin Xiang, you guys are here. Your second brother and his wife have all gone to Zhao's house. You should go over and take a look."
Qin Xiang was immediately anxious when she heard this. "Didn't we report it to the police? Why did we go there at this time?"
"I don't know. I went with the police." Cao Yanrong said.
Qin Xiang breathed a sigh of relief. "Thank you, Auntie. We'll go check it out right away."
Cao Yanrong waved his hand, "We're all family, why be so polite? Go over and take a look."
Qin Xiang didn't care about anything else and hurriedly ran with Qin Yang. However, as they walked out the door, the beeping horn sounded again. Miao Sheng stuck his head out and said, "Where are you going? We're just about to leave."
Qin Xiang didn't care about anything else. She just pulled her third brother into the car and instructed Miao Sheng to drive.
I guess I can't repay this favor anymore, so I'll pay it back slowly.
The car didn't drive fast in the county, but it was much faster than walking.
It took only ten minutes to reach the chemical plant's staff quarters. Qin Xiang thanked him again and ran all the way in. As soon as she entered the compound, she heard a woman's loud crying.
If it’s not Gao Yulan, then who else could it be?
Qin Xiang couldn't help but sneer, and Qin Yang said, "Let's go up and take a look."
Qin Xiang looked at her third brother, whose aura was so low that it was terrifying, and tightly grasped his arm. "Third brother, the police are here, we can't just do anything."
Qin Yang gritted his teeth, "I know."
The two went upstairs. The Zhao family's door in the tube building was already surrounded by three layers of people. Gao Yulan cried loudly, "They are bullying us! The police are bullying us! There is no justice."
"Make way, make way." Qin Xiang shouted, and the crowd automatically made way.
Many people knew Qin Xiang and Qin Yang, and someone shouted, "Qin Xiang and Qin Yang are here."
Qin Hai and Qin Baotian in the room both breathed a sigh of relief.
Qin Xiang and Qin Yang went in and saw the situation in the room clearly.
The Zhao family's house is a two-bedroom one, and now a lot of people are crowded in this small house. Gao Yulan is sitting on the ground crying, Zhao Qianjin's father is sitting there smoking, Qin Juan is holding her child and covering the child's ears with disgust on her face, and there are two police officers, one male and one female, standing next to Qin Hai and Qin Baotian.
Gao Yulan continued to cry, "The police are bullying me, they're destroying my marriage. I don't want to live anymore, I don't want to live anymore, I'll just kill myself."
Qin Xiang couldn't help but laugh, "Gao Yulan, if you want to die, just take a knife and cut your neck. That would be so much easier."
She ran straight to the Zhao family's kitchen, took out a kitchen knife and threw it next to Gao Yulan, "Hurry up, if you miss, hurry up. While the Qin family is here, we can give you two more pieces of paper and an extra share of the money."
Gao Yulan stopped crying abruptly and looked at Qin Xiang in horror.
Qin Xiang glared, "Hurry up, if you miss, hurry up. I promise that no one here today will stop you. I will fight anyone who dares to stop you from dying bravely. If you want to die so badly, how can others stop you?"
"I, I..." Gao Yulan reached out and touched the kitchen knife, and suddenly remembered the way Qin Juan glared at her with the kitchen knife that day.
Crazy, everyone in the Qin family is crazy.
Gao Yulan refused to take the kitchen knife and just cried loudly as if her father had died.
Qin Xiang squatted down, picked up the kitchen knife and forced it into Gao Yulan's hand, "Gao Yulan, if you miss, hurry up, otherwise just let your son divorce my fourth sister."
Gao Yulan threw the kitchen knife to the ground in horror.
Qin Xiang snorted coldly, stood up and asked the police, "Comrade Public Security, Zhao Qianjin domestically abused my fourth sister and beat her like this. What should we do?"
Policewoman Qian Mei frowned, "This is supposed to be a family matter..."
"Family matters?" Qin Xiang looked at the female police officer and couldn't help laughing. "Comrade Police Officer, you're also a lesbian. You've certainly never been abused by your husband, have you? You're just talking nonsense."
Qian Mei pursed her lips and said nothing.
Qin Xiang shouted, "If it was just a quarrel, it would indeed be a family matter, but they beat my fourth sister like this. Are you bullying us because we don't understand the law? This is an act of violence, a serious violation of the law. According to my country's Criminal Law, intentional bodily harm is punishable by up to three years in prison, criminal detention, or controlled release."
After she finished speaking, Qian Mei looked at the familiar tall police officer next to her while she was shocked. "Comrade Tongan, I wonder if what I said is right?"
The tall police officer nodded, then said to Qian Mei, "Deputy Director, this female comrade is absolutely right. This situation will indeed be the case if the victim pursues the matter. The woman has the money to ask for a divorce."
Qian Mei was furious. She glared and said, "This is a family problem."
Qin Xiang understood that Qian Mei was the deputy director of the police station, but she didn't know who sent her there.
There are many people like Qian Mei in later generations. In order to save trouble, they simply attribute such matters to family problems, so that they don’t have to worry about it and save a lot of trouble.
At that time, she also saw a news report that said a woman was abused by a man and called the police. However, the police found it troublesome and directly classified it as a family problem, and even blamed the woman for taking up police resources.
How ironic.
Qin Xiang simply didn't look at Qian Mei, but only looked at her kneeling there, still pulling at Qin Juan's pants and begging, "Juanzi, I was wrong. This time I really know I was wrong. Please don't divorce me. I can't live without you."
The man cried miserably, looking extremely pitiful, but Qin Juan didn't feel the slightest bit of emotion. "Divorce."
Zhao Qianjin wanted to beg, but was kicked to the ground by Qin Yang. Qian Mei shouted directly, "Hey, why are you hitting me?"
Qin Xiang took Qin Yang's hand and looked at Qian Mei, "Didn't you say it? This is a family conflict. Seeing my sister being beaten like this, isn't it normal for my third brother to vent his anger?"
Qian Mei was furious. "You! You can't hit people, what do you think the police are?"
Qin Xiang sneered, "You are also qualified to be a police officer..."
The tall policeman next to him was very helpless. Qian Mei was indeed a relative of the Zhao family, and seemed to have some relationship with the Zhao family, otherwise the Zhao family would not be so confident.
The tall police officer glanced at Qin Xiang, then said to Qian Mei, "I'll go out and investigate."
Qian Mei nodded and said, "Go quickly."
As soon as he went out, Qin Xiang also winked at Qin Hai, and Qin Hai followed him out.
Qin Xiang simply squatted down, looked at Gao Yulan and said, "Haven't you always wanted a grandson? As long as my fourth sister divorces your son, we can take the child away, and then you can find a partner for your son to have a son. Otherwise, now that family planning is in place, Zhao Qianjin will never have a son in this lifetime unless he divorces, and then you will never have a grandson in your arms."
Gao Yulan suddenly looked up at her, her heart trembling. Qin Xiang then explained to her, "As long as you don't have children after your second marriage, you can have another one. But if you already have a child, you can't have another one."
Qin Xiang patiently coaxed, "Which is more important, a grandson or my fourth sister? My fourth sister can't have another child. If she does, your whole family will be laid off."
In those days, the status of a formal worker was highly enviable, let alone the Zhao family's four workers. Not to mention Qin Juan, Gao Yulan was always proud of the fact that the three members of the Zhao family were workers. She just didn't believe the Zhao family would give up their stable jobs.
If you want grandchildren and a job at the same time, the only option is divorce.
