Chapter 73
It's true, nothing could be more touching than the topic of grandchildren. Gao Yulan had been stunned by Zhao Qianjin's tears before, but now she was really moved. "Qianjin, how about..."
"I don't want to." Zhao Qianjin cried miserably, holding on tightly to Qin Juan's trouser legs. It was rare for him to obey her without hesitation. "I don't want anyone else. I only want Juanzi. I don't want my son anymore. I only want Juanzi."
Qian Mei frowned as she listened to him. "Now that Zhao Qianjin has apologized and admitted his mistakes, what else do you want? He's a grown man, completely humiliated, kneeling down to beg you. What else do you want?"
Qin Xiang was amused by her words. "It's not about what we want. They beat up my fourth sister, so they must bear the responsibility. It's not something that can be resolved by just crying and apologizing. It's not like Zhao Qianjin hasn't knelt before. He's knelt many times before and made promises many times, but was it effective? I don't know what your relationship with the Zhao family is. We ordinary people just want justice. I heard that the provincial government has been demanding a strict crackdown on illegal and criminal activities in the past two years. If they knew that the local police station was confusing public and private affairs and maliciously letting violent people go, would they hold them accountable?"
As she spoke, she took out the letter of guarantee Zhao Qianjin had written earlier and said to Qian Mei, "This is the letter he wrote. If he does it again, the woman has the right to request a divorce. How could he have forgotten it less than half a year ago? Do you want me to recall it for you?"
After she showed it, she put it away. She wouldn't be so stupid as to let other people see it. What if it was torn up? Then there would be no evidence at all.
Qian Mei's eyes widened, "You!"
Qin Xiang knew she had hit the nail on the head. She glanced at the badge Qian Mei wore on her chest and sneered, "I've written down your name and police number. If this matter isn't handled impartially today, I'll report it to the higher authorities. If the county doesn't care, I'll report it to the city. If the city doesn't care, I'll report it to the provincial authorities. You might not know this, but I'm doing business in the provincial capital. I lack other things, but I don't lack money or connections. I'll use my connections to report it to the higher authorities and let everyone in our province see that someone is disregarding the law for his own selfish interests."
She said it sternly and with a firm tone, leaving no doubt that Qin Xiang would really do it.
Everyone in the audience, even those who were just watching the fun, was shocked by Qin Xiang's momentum. Those who were close to Qin Juan were secretly happy for her. Qin Juan herself had a soft temper, but she had a lot of hard-tempered family members.
Some people even began to envy Qin Juan. Although her husband's family was not a good family, she still had her own family to protect her. Many women lost their families after getting married. Their husband's family treated them as outsiders, and their own family treated them as spilled water. It was particularly valuable for them to stand in front of them and protect them at the critical moment.
Qian Mei took two steps back, her face filled with horror.
Gao Yulan said anxiously, "Divorce, let's get divorced."
Zhao Qianjin continued to cry, "I won't leave. I only want Juanzi. I don't want my son anymore."
Qin Xiang really felt that this man was worthless, even worse than Wang Junsheng. Wang Junsheng at least had some brains, could clearly distinguish the pros and cons, and could make quick decisions. Zhao Qianjin was a complete mama's boy. When Gao Yulan pushed him, he didn't hesitate to swing his fist at her fourth sister. When he was about to divorce, he regretted it and wanted to be a loving man.
Bah, you bastard.
Qin Juan's heart was as calm as water, and even her tears did not stir when she saw him. She covered Nian Nian's ears and said calmly, "Divorce."
I won’t talk about any other nonsense.
Qin Baotian said, "The child's opinion is our family's opinion. This marriage must be divorced."
Qian Mei finally came to her senses after a long while and glanced at Gao Yulan. "According to the process, both parties must first negotiate. If no agreement is reached, then we can only resort to legal procedures."
She looked at Zhao Qianjin and said, "According to the law, as this woman said, she will be sentenced."
Zhao Qianjin forgot to cry and looked at Qian Mei, "Cousin..."
Qin Xiang raised an eyebrow, "Oh, where's my cousin?"
Qian Mei glared. "Don't try to make connections." She was eager to distance herself from the matter, and her words were particularly serious. "Comrade Zhao Qianjin, think carefully. If you agree to a divorce, you can still discuss with the victim and exempt them from responsibility. Otherwise, if you don't agree, the other party has the right to hold you accountable. You could even be sentenced to two or three years. By the time you get out, your life will be ruined."
Zhao Qianjin couldn't believe it, "But..."
But he didn't come out, and tears started flowing again.
At this moment, there was a sudden commotion outside. Several police officers came over, including a tall officer. He said to Qian Mei inside, "Deputy Director Qian, Director Chai from the Public Security Bureau is here."
Qian Mei shuddered as she saw Director Chai coming. She hurriedly went to greet him with a smile, "Director Chai, I didn't expect you to come in person for such a small case."
Although she said this, Qian Mei was actually worried. It seemed that Qin Juan's family was quite capable. Not only did they understand criminal law, but they could also invite Director Chai. Director Chai was not one to tolerate any injustice.
Thinking of this, Qian Mei immediately frowned and said to Gao Yulan, "Old comrade, I've made it clear to you. If you still refuse to change your mind, then you'll have no choice but to go with us to the police station and go through the formalities."
Qin Xiang was amused. "Isn't this the proper procedure? Shouldn't the negotiation take place here?"
Qian Mei glanced at Qin Xiang and smiled awkwardly, "Comrade, please don't interfere with official business."
Qin Xiang ignored her and went straight to complain to Director Chai, then told him the whole story from beginning to end.
Director Chai's face turned grim as he frowned and said, "Take them all back and investigate thoroughly at the Public Security Bureau."
After saying that, Director Chai turned around and left. Other staff members came forward and handcuffed Zhao Qianjin.
The deterrent effect of this thing is huge. Once the handcuffs were put on, Zhao Qianjin was also scared and looked at his mother in horror. Gao Yulan panicked, "Comrades, police, you can't do this! My son just hit his wife a few times. What woman doesn't get beaten?"
Hearing this, Qin Xiang sneered, "How many times?"
She waved her hand and slapped Gao Yulan in the face, "Is this just a few slaps?"
"You!" Gao Yulan was furious. "How dare you act so arrogantly in front of the Public Security Bureau!"
Qin Xiang retorted, "Aren't you and your son the ones who are so rampant? You've abused my fourth sister more than once or twice. Everyone in this compound has seen it. Do you still want me to count them one by one?"
Gao Yulan looked towards the door, and the people in the compound sighed, "Fuck Qianjin, you've really gone too far."
Although Gao Yulan is capable, she is not very popular in the compound, so no one can say anything good about her at this time.
Several old ladies were talking about how excessive Gao Yulan and her son were.
Qian Mei frowned and looked at Qin Xiang, "What you did is also assaulting others."
Qin Xiang laughed, "Zhao Qianjin's cousin, do you think you have the right to say that?" She turned to Director Chai and said, "Director Chai, I'm asking this woman to recuse herself from this case because they're relatives. As for why I hit this old lady, didn't she ask for it? They hit my sister hard, and they didn't stop after just one slap. Wasn't it wrong for me to slap her?"
Director Chai looked at the dissatisfied Qian Mei and asked, "Are you relatives?"
"No."
Qian Meicai flatly denied it, and someone at the door shouted, "Zhao Qianjin called you cousin, we heard it."
Qin Juan, who had been silent all this time, looked at Aunt Wang next door with gratitude.
Aunt Wang smiled at the other person.
Gao Yulan's badness makes Qin Juan look particularly kind. As a neighbor, Aunt Wang often quarreled with Gao Yulan, but Qin Juan always took the initiative to help when there was something wrong at home. That time, when her grandson was sick, it was Qin Juan who helped take him to the hospital.
Director Chai looked at the noisy scene and quickly asked someone to take them to the Public Security Bureau for investigation.
"Deputy Director Qian should step aside."
With just one sentence, Qian Mei was excluded.
Zhao Qianjin still wanted to catch Qin Juan, but Qin Juan pushed her away and ignored him.
Qin Yang walked behind and looked at Zhao Qianjin gloomily, his hands clenched tightly. It was obvious that he had been suppressing his temper since he came in.
Qin Xiang knew Third Brother's temper, so she walked behind him and whispered, "Third Brother, you must hold back. We are the victims in front of the police, and victims should have their own stand. Beating them up without caring about anything may make us feel relieved, but what if they use this as an excuse and refuse to divorce again?"
Qin Yang's face was gloomy, and he gritted his teeth and said, "I know."
"Let's go. Let my second sister-in-law take the child away first. Making a commotion won't be good for the child."
Qin Xiang said this and hurriedly followed Qin Yang. Director Chai's men had already taken Zhao Qianjin into the car. Gao Yulan, as if her father had died, clung to the car door and was pulled into the car as well.
Old man Zhao, who had been following silently the entire time, looked even uglier. He glanced at Qin Juan and said, "Zhao Di's mother, I know it was wrong for Qianjin to hit you. I'm sorry. I will persuade him to divorce you."
Qin Juan looked at her father-in-law and smiled. "I call you Dad, and you think you are very tolerant and generous, but if you had taken care of them earlier, would it have gotten to this point? I won't appreciate it."
After saying that, Qin Juan got on another police car and went to the Public Security Bureau to record her statement. The injuries on her face and the scars on her body would be the most favorable evidence. If the Zhao family still refused to divorce, she would pursue it to the end.
Watching the car leave, Old Man Zhao sighed with a sad expression, "Why did it come to this? Why did it come to this?"
Qin Xiang happened to come over and heard this, "Yeah, why is it so, why would you divorce earlier?"
Old man Zhao suddenly looked up at her, gritting his teeth, "Aunt Zhao Di, you've ruined her family and prevented her from living in a complete family in the future. Don't you feel guilty towards her?"
"That's hilarious! Your whole family let her witness her own mother being abused, and you're not afraid of how this environment will hurt her, so why should we be afraid?" Qin Xiang looked at Old Man Zhao and thought he and her ex-father-in-law, Wang Dazhu, could be brothers. He looked honest on the outside, but in reality, he was the worst and most vicious. Looking at Old Man Zhao, she couldn't imagine how her soft-tempered fourth sister had lived in such a family for so many years.
Qin Xiang glared at Old Man Zhao and said mercilessly, "Don't you Zhao family want a grandson? We will take Zhao Di away. As for whether she will be sad because she has no father in the future, that is our business. It has nothing to do with you Zhao family. Who would care about a family like yours? Do you really think children would care about it?"
After saying that, Qin Xiang turned around and was about to leave, but her steps froze in an instant. She was stunned for a moment, looking at the tall and gentle man standing in front of the car, "Why hasn't Mr. Meng left yet?"
A gentle smile appeared on Meng Huaiqing's face. "Nothing, I just wanted to see if you need any help."
His face was gentle, and the first time Qin Xiang saw him, she thought of a sentence: A gentleman is unparalleled in the world.
This was the feeling Meng Huaiqing gave her.
It's hard to feel bad about it.
While she was stunned, Meng Huaiqing said, "Let's go to the Public Security Bureau together. Maybe there's something I can help with."
Qin Yang, who was following Qin Xiang, looked at Meng Huaiqing warily, but still said, "His driver just got out of Director Chai's car."
Qin Xiang was shocked and looked at Meng Huaiqing. Meng Huaiqing had a calm expression and it was hard to tell what he was thinking. It seemed that he was just doing an ordinary thing.
Qin Xiang nodded, "Thank you."
Originally, they wanted Qin Baotian to get in the car together, but Qin Baotian looked at the other person's car and refused to get in. He just rode Qin Hai's car and said, "Your second brother and I can go."
In desperation, Qin Xiang and Qin Yang got in the car and headed to the Public Security Bureau.
When they arrived at the Public Security Bureau, Zhao Qianjin and his mother had already gone for investigation, and Qin Juan was also there taking a statement.
This kind of thing is indeed not a big deal for the people in the Public Security Bureau. Generally, they will mediate first. If both parties can reach an agreement, the matter will be over. If they want to investigate, it will naturally be handled impartially.
Qin Juan had only one request: "Agree to a divorce, and I won't pursue the matter for the sake of the child. If you don't agree, I will pursue it to the end."
She paused. "As for the family money, I want it split in half. After the divorce, we can go our separate ways. They don't have to spend a penny on raising the child, but they also ask that they forget about this child. Just pretend that this child never existed."
Someone naturally told Zhao Qianjin and his mother what she said. Gao Yulan had already figured it out. If she wanted a grandson, she would have to let her son divorce and remarry. She had a good idea. Given their family's financial situation, it would be very easy for them to remarry.
As for Zhao Di, she is nothing but a money-losing girl. If she stays at home, she will take up the place of other children in the family. It is just right that Qin Juan is willing to take her away.
But Zhao Qianjin obviously refused to give up and kept saying that he didn't want a divorce.
The police officer who came to mediate was a young woman in her twenties. She was very disdainful of such people and directly showed him the regulations. "Since you don't agree, we can only go through the normal procedures. The other party will hold you accountable. If you appeal for divorce, the judge will understand your situation. You may have to pay a large amount of compensation and child support."
After saying that, the public security comrade stood up and was about to leave. Gao Yulan grabbed her and said in horror, "Comrade, we divorce, we divorce."
The female police officer only looked at Zhao Qianjin and said, "Divorce is a matter between the husband and wife. No one else can make the decision."
The female police officer felt that such a man should be severely punished. The woman did not even ask the man to pay for raising the child. It was really too cheap for such a dog man. Unfortunately, due to her job, no matter how disgusted she was, she could only do her job in a proper manner.
Zhao Qianjin raised his head and looked at him, saying painfully, "I want to leave, isn't it okay for me to leave?"
