Find Out About Divorce

Chapter 47:

The boy’s name is Lin Xiaocheng, he is a little older than he looks, he is ten years old this year, a fourth grade student in Xinxiang No. 2 Primary School in Jingyuan City.

parents divorced.

Jiang Wu is really ironic, a husband and wife, to the point where a child who just turned ten years old holds scattered banknotes and asks a lawyer to help them divorce. This is downright disappointing.

Jiang Wuqiang suppressed his anger and asked the boy, “Can you tell me the reason for wanting my parents to divorce?”

The boy’s body trembled a little, “I, I don’t want my mother to be beaten again, I want the house to be quiet without the sound of smashing things.”

A child, ten-year-old, sat in front of Jiang Wu and told her that he wanted to live a quiet life, which kept her silent for a long time.

The child didn’t know what Jiang Wu was thinking, he was afraid that he was too young and what he said would not be so credible, so he started to take off his school uniform jacket and rolled up the cuffs of his long-sleeved T-shirt inside. Get up and show Jiang Wu.

There are many bruises on the arm, Jiang Wu can’t tell whether it was hit by a belt, a stick or something else, her own family of origin is not happy, but she endures more It was cold violence from her parents, and she couldn’t imagine what it would be like to have these scars branded on a child.

Jiang Wu couldn’t take care of that much. She walked over to the boy and lifted the T-shirt around his waist. Not only his arms, but also the child’s back had such marks.

The scars are of different shades of color, and at first glance they are not caused at the same time, which shows that the child has been subjected to violence from the father for at least a long time.

Jiang Wu was angry, “He not only beat your mother, but also you?”

The boy nodded and said in a low voice, “I used to fight when I lost money, and then I fought when I drank.”

Jiang Wu asked, “What about your mother, has she never thought about resisting or asking for help? Did she call the police?”

The word alarm was obviously unfamiliar to the boy and made him a little puzzled.

“Mom always said that there are no couples who don’t quarrel, and there are no parents who don’t care about their children. She always said that family shame can’t be exposed, but if Dad hits me, she will rush over to protect me as soon as possible.” The more the boy said, the more distressed he looked, “But my dad often comes home late recently, and every time he is drunk, he beats people whenever his mother doesn’t do what he wants. Auntie, I don’t dare to sleep. I took off my clothes, just thinking that if something happened, I could take my mother to escape as fast as possible, but I was too weak to do anything. As long as I resisted him, he would beat me together, and my mother couldn’t stop him. He can only threw himself on me to block him, when he is tired, the sleepiness will end, and after that, only my mother will hug me and cry, and then I have to clean the house before he wakes up.”

Guarding…

When the child mentioned his mother, the light of trust in his eyes directly stabbed Jiang Wu’s heart.

Is this child’s mother protecting him like this, constantly defending her husband, constantly brainwashing herself, and constantly subjecting herself to this inhuman torture, Not to mention the destruction, she also brought out the big truth for the child to endure with her.

But what is the result? Will the other party let you live a comfortable life because of your temporary forbearance? This compromise will only make the other party worse, she can’t protect her child at all, and the naked eye can see the child’s body There are so many scars, but where the eyes can’t see, how many scars will there be on that young heart?

Lin Xiaocheng saw this beautiful lawyer aunt staring at him deeply, and finally asked a question that he wanted to ask for a long time, “Auntie, my mother always said that when I grow up, everything will be different. But it will take many years for me to grow up. Before that, do I have to live like this forever? Also, how old do you mean to grow up, or should you be a little older when you are eighteen?”

Jiang Wu has no way to answer the child’s question. Eighteen years old is a watershed. Legally, you are considered an adult when you are eighteen years old, but in today’s society, eighteen years old is the most At a good age, you can see the colorful world outside with your own eyes, and you can retreat back with peace of mind and hide in a safe haven called home, but the child in front of him, his home is the center of the storm he faces.

Jiang Wu touched the boy’s face and said softly, “Actually, it won’t take that long.”

The boy seemed to see hope, “Then you will help me, right?”

Jiang Wu really wants to tell him, yes, I will help you, but divorce is not a random thing, if the two parties cannot reach an agreement, they have to go to court. Lawyers can dissolve marriages at will.

Children are still young, so words and expressions cannot form a perfect logic, but Jiang Wu has grasped several key points, domestic violence, alcoholism, and it seems that there are words such as losing a bet , Jiang Wu had already made a plan in his mind. If these charges can be put into practice and evidence is found, even if the other party does not agree, divorce is not very difficult.

Right now, there’s only one crucial part missing from the whole thing.

Divorce must be proposed by one of the parties in person, only the parties themselves can make a statement, and no one can force or represent it.

The child’s wish is very simple, but according to the law, Jiang Wu must see the person involved, that is, the child’s mother, to see if she has the will to divorce.

It was getting late. Seeing that it was almost noon, Jiang Wu put on the child’s clothes and rubbed his head with a smile, “Let’s go, I’ll take you home, I need to see you Your mother, if she herself is thinking of a divorce, I will do my best to help you.”

The boy’s eyes are sparkling, it’s so good to be young, as long as you give a little hope, it seems that you can light up their whole world.

But Jiang Wu’s mood is actually a little heavy. She feels that the hope of the child and the hope of the mother are probably opposite, but no matter what, she has to give it a try.

Jiang Wu took the child’s hand, went home to get the car, and drove towards the suburb of Xinxiang not far from here.

When he came to the boy’s residence, Jiang Wu parked his car downstairs in a building that was a few years old.

This is a relatively remote suburb of Jingyuan City, with a combination of urban and rural areas, and everyone living here.

“Auntie, the house on the left of the second floor is my house, I’ll take you up.” Lin Xiaocheng walked ahead to guide Jiang Wu.

Pushing open the door of the unit, the corridor was filled with various pieces of debris, old sofas, cardboard boxes, and old-fashioned pickle jars.

Jiang Wu walked up and asked, “Xiaocheng, is your mother off work at this time?”

Lin Xiaocheng smiled embarrassedly, “My mother set up a food stall on the side of the road, and is resting at home these two days.”

Business people are resting at home when the weather is good. Jiang Wu already has a guess in his heart, and the moment Lin Xiaocheng opened the door, the left forehead exposed behind the door had a large piece of silt The blue face is the best proof.

“Chengcheng is back, why do you leave school so early today.” The woman was talking, when she raised her eyes and saw a strangely dressed and handsome woman behind her son, “This is… ?”

Lin Xiaocheng quickly introduced to her mother, “Mom, this is lawyer Jiang, I found her, she is very nice, she will help us.”

The woman’s face changed greatly when she heard what her son said, “You little bastard, what nonsense are you talking about, what lawyer Jiang, I told you not to listen to the nonsense of those people in the school, don’t always Look at the mess on the internet.”

Speaking of this, he seemed to feel puzzled, and raised his hand to slap his son on the back. This kind of action was completely out of anger after being exposed on the spot, and Jiang Wu all saw it, but in the end, the woman couldn’t bear to fight, and only pulled Lin Xiaocheng’s arm and dragged him into the house.

Lin Xiaocheng felt aggrieved, he stuck his neck and said to his mother, “Mom, don’t be afraid, we also have a lawyer now, you can divorce your father, lawyer Jiang said, she will help us , she’s amazing.”

The woman is like a frightened rabbit, and her whole body is tense, “What divorce, who said it is going to be divorced, you are a child, you know what it is!”

Jiang Wu stopped the argument between mother and son in time, “Can I go in and say a few words?”

The woman hesitated again and again and finally couldn’t beat her son, and gave Jiang Wu a way to enter the house.

There is no TV in this house, no glass, not even the glass on the interior door, only a curtain is hung to block it.

Lin Xiaocheng poured hot water in an old-fashioned stainless steel cup and handed it to Jiang Wu, perhaps because he felt that the house was in a mess and couldn’t see anyone, Jiang Wu never saw the child look up.

It was the result of someone flipping the table and spilling the vegetable soup and tea.

Jiang Wu couldn’t bear to see the downfall of other people’s homes, but there was no way, as soon as she stepped into this house, messages from all directions kept reminding her that this was a place where domestic violence existed for a long time.

Lin Xiaocheng’s mother sent the child to the back room, she turned sideways to hide the injury on her forehead, and said to Jiang Wu, “If you have nothing to do, go away, we don’t want a divorce, just I quarreled with the child’s father before, which frightened the child, he made trouble for you, and I apologize for him.”

Jiang Wuding looked at Lin Xiaocheng’s mother and asked, “Have you seen the injury on your son?”

The woman’s lips moved slightly: “There is no parent in this world who doesn’t educate their children.”

Jiang Wu said again: “Did you know that sometimes he can’t even eat to save money for you to find a lawyer for a divorce?”

The woman’s breathing became heavier and heavier, “Don’t say it, this is our housework.”

Jiang Wu continued: “Just now your child told me that his mother always told him that everything would be fine when he grew up, he asked me how long it would take to grow up, How old does he really grow up, is he going to live like this all the time before that, you are his mother, can’t you feel that he is afraid, he is even afraid that he will not wait for the day when he grows up !”

The woman’s fragile nerve was finally broken, and she hysterically said, “Don’t say it, don’t say it anymore, tiger poison won’t eat children!”

The woman bowed desperately and kept apologizing, “Lawyer Jiang is the child who disturbed you, I apologize, please go, you don’t care about our family, you can’t control it either.”

Looking at the woman’s continuously bent waist, Jiang Wu sighed, she knew this was hopeless, and some people would never give up unless they put themselves in a desperate situation.
