366 Raising Him Herself
Wen Qin sneered. “You think others are the same as you? I don’t want to talk nonsense with you. Let’s get straight to the point. I want to take Xiao Hui away after the divorce. I don’t need you to pay alimony.”
In order to get custody of her son, Wen Qin was willing to make some concessions.
The Sun family knew Sun Guo’s situation too well. If not for the fact that they had something on Wen Qin, how could Sun Guo have gotten a wife? The Sun family’s mother and son were determined not to get a divorce. Sun Guo couldn’t even get a wife when he was 35 years old, let alone now that he was in his forties.
Madam Sun’s small eyes darted around as she said firmly, “Our family has never had such an embarrassing thing as a divorce before. There’s no way you can get a divorce! Moreover, Xiao Hui’s surname is Sun, so he’s a child of the Sun family. Don’t even think about taking him away!”
Wen Qin was so angry that she laughed. “I’m afraid Xiao Hui will die if he stays here! Ask your son what he did! Why has Xiao Hui been running a fever these past few days? It’s all because your good son tricked your grandson into taking a cold shower. After he finished showering, he didn’t put on clothes for Xiao Hui and let him catch a cold in the courtyard! What’s even worse is that he deliberately opened the window to let Xiao Hui catch a cold! Xiao Hui is already weak, and now, he has lost quite a few pounds!”
Because her grandson was sick, Madam Sun had been cursing Wen Qin at home from morning to night these days. She said that Wen Qin was an incompetent mother and neglected her son just for the sake of a few yuan.
Madam Sun hid these things from Sun Guo. In the Sun family, Madam Sun was first, Sun Guo was second, and Sun Hui was third. However, because she only had one grandson now, Madam Sun treasured her grandson more. Sun Guo had lived under his mother’s abuse for a long time, so he only dared to secretly attack Xiao Hui.
No matter how bad their parents’ relationship was, children always yearned for a complete family and always hoped that their parents could stay by their side. Sun Guo used Sun Hui’s fear of his parents separating to coax Sun Hui into cooperating with him.
Ever since the letter restraining Wen Qin lost its effect, the Sun family’s mother and son had been feeling uneasy, for fear that Wen Qin would run away.
Although there was no way to go anywhere without a travel certificate these days, it was better to be safe than sorry. After all, Wen Qin had to go to He Mountain Village to work during the day, so they couldn’t see or control her, especially since Wen Qin had recently used the excuse of being busy with work to come home half an hour later than usual.
At the end of the day, the Sun family blamed the source of this uneasiness on Wen Qin’s job. That was why Sun Guo wanted to use Xiao Hui to force Wen Qin to return to her family and stay in the small mountain village obediently.
In the past, he could use physical abuse to force Wen Qin into submitting, but after they no longer had anything to blackmail her with, as long as Wen Qin looked at him coldly, Sun Guo wouldn’t dare to hit her again.
Without the usual methods of oppression, after Sun Guo saw his son’s status in Wen Qin’s heart, he determined that he was the only way to keep Wen Qin by his side.
He knew too well how beautiful and dazzling his wife had once been. As long as he let her out, other men would definitely see her beauty. Sun Guo had finally broken the swan’s wing, so how could he let her reattach it?
Madam Sun was quick-witted and immediately understood Sun Guo’s intentions, so she lied through her teeth. “It’s a woman’s responsibility to take care of children. What does a man like him know?! The weather is so hot, so Xiao Hui probably couldn’t help but want to take a cold shower. Sun Guo was just too lazy to go in to get a towel and let him air dry his body.”
When Sun Guo heard that his mother had found an excuse for him, he immediately nodded vigorously. “Yes, that’s it!”
As Madam Sun spoke, she even pointed at Wen Qin’s nose and scolded, “It’s your responsibility as a mother! It’s because you didn’t take good care of Xiao Hui that he’s so weak. Which child would catch a cold merely after taking a cold shower? Instead of reflecting on yourself, you even pushed the blame onto your man. I think that you have someone you like at work, so you want to push the blame on my son in order to get a divorce!”
Wen Qin knew that Madam Sun was good at distorting the truth, so she knew that even if she continued, it would be pointless. Thus, she didn’t say anything else and turned around to take two sets of clothes before leaving. She would take leave tomorrow morning and come back to take the rest of the things. She didn’t believe that they could stay at home forever.
