Chapter 404 My sister-in-law is about to give birth
But what does Chenchen have?
“Chenchen’s grandmother is his stepmother; it’s already a miracle she didn’t kill him. Handing him over to the Wang family is tantamount to killing him.”
Fang Qing smiled bitterly, "What can we do? This is his fate."
Lu Jiangting: "..."
He didn't know how he got back; his mind was a complete mess.
He had made the decision with great difficulty, but he wavered.
No, we can't waver. Fang Qing is definitely doing this on purpose, betting that he won't bear to see Chenchen suffer.
"Fang Qing is a vicious woman." When Lu Cong and his wife found out about this, they were so angry that they cursed her.
"She raised her own son from scratch. Jiang Ting, so Chenchen is just a tool for her to manipulate you."
The old man was both amused and exasperated by the fact that his own son had been tormented and that the outsiders in his family were being manipulated.
Wang Cuilan: "So, are we still getting a divorce or not?"
Lu Cong: "We must get a divorce. If we don't, she'll get a taste of the benefits and then use Chenchen to control Jiang Ting even more. This vicious woman can even harm her own son; who knows what crazy things she might do in the future?"
“What about Chenchen? He’s Jianjun’s child.” She looked at Lu Jiangting and said, “Jiangting can’t just watch him suffer.”
Yes, he couldn't just watch Fang Qing hand Chenchen over to the Wang family.
and so……
"Dad, Mom, I want to fight Fang Qing for custody of Chenchen."
What?
Lu Cong and Wang Cuilan were both stunned.
Although they felt sorry for the child and liked him quite a bit, the child was ultimately Fang Qing's child.
How can a divorced stepfather fight with his biological mother for custody?
How will I find a partner when I have a child?
Neither of them wanted to.
However, they also knew how stubborn their son was, and they couldn't persuade him directly.
Lu Cong said, "I'm afraid it will be difficult. He is Fang Qing's child. Fang Qing will not agree to it. You can't get him."
Lu Jiangting nodded. "It is difficult, but I want to give it a try."
I thought, if you're willing to try, then try; they definitely think it won't work.
……
Lu Jiangting still insisted on getting a divorce, but he wasn't in such a hurry anymore.
He needs to find a way to gather evidence of Fang Qing's mistreatment of Wang Chenchen so he can fight her for custody.
He told his good friend Liu Anguo about it, and Liu Anguo thought he had gone mad.
"No matter how much suffering her son endures, it's still her own son. When he grows up, he'll hate her. What does it have to do with you?"
"But he is Jianjun's son."
Liu Anguo patted him on the shoulder and said, "Jiang Ting, even tigers don't eat their cubs. I don't believe she would actually do such a thing. I think she's just trying to scare you and make you give in. You should just ignore her and let her do whatever she wants. Once she knows you don't mind her messing with Chenchen, she'll stop taking it out on Chenchen."
That makes some sense, but Fang Qing would really deliberately make Chenchen sick to deal with him.
The child has no idea how much suffering they will endure during this process.
If you frighten a child, it could be a lifelong problem.
"I'll think about it again."
Yi Yunshuo suddenly appeared out of nowhere and squeezed into the middle of them, his dirty food container rubbing against him.
Lu Jiangting pushed him aside in disgust, but as soon as he did, he pressed himself against him again.
"Jiang Ting, if you don't want Chenchen to suffer, then fight her for custody."
Liu Anguo said, "She's the child's biological mother; he's just a stepfather. How could he possibly win?"
"How come you couldn't win? Oh, Anguo, you clearly don't understand the law."
Lu Jiangting was taken aback, then became serious. "What do you mean?"
“If the mother treats the child badly, and you have evidence, and the child wants to stay with you, and you can provide the child with a better education, then you can win custody of the child.”
"Really?"
Lu Jiangting was quite excited upon hearing this, "How exactly do we do it?"
Seeing that it was almost time for work, Yi Yunshuo said, "For specific instructions, you should ask a professional."
Lu Jiangting silently memorized these words.
He thought to himself that he only married Fang Qing because of Chenchen.
Now that he knows Chenchen is being abused by Fang Qing, he is even more worried.
However, if we can win custody of Chenchen, that would be a different story.
……
After lunch, Lin Yuyao was downstairs reading and resting when Zhou Jing asked her about what happened last night.
"She was yelling so loudly, how could my family not hear her? It was right next to my bedroom window. Yuyao, those two lunatics are making a scene like this, it's not going to work. If word gets back to those idle old ladies, they'll start making up all sorts of stories."
Lin Yuyao didn't care at all, because she knew that without her as a sucker, they wouldn't need her to do anything; they could make a living on their own.
As for their reputation? They argue at home every day, and the old house isn't soundproof. How could the neighbors not know what kind of people they are?
The bigger the fuss, the worse their own reputation will become.
"Whatever, I'm ignoring them. If I do, they'll just get more excited. Fang Qing would love for me to go and argue with her."
Huh?
That makes sense when you think about it.
"Sigh! You're unlucky to run into two lunatics like these."
She probably thought the same way before, feeling that these two people had ruined her life and hating them to death.
But now, she and they are no longer on the same level.
She and they were like people from two different worlds; nothing they did could hurt her anymore.
Now, nothing they do causes Lin Yuyao much discomfort, and even though they've made so many jokes, she can stand by and watch the show like a bystander.
She might add fuel to the fire if necessary, but that's all.
After get off work, Lin Yuyao called home at the agreed time, a time they always called each month.
Call me anytime if there's any emergency.
Lin Yuyao felt a sense of warmth and familiarity when Ye Lian's voice came from the other end of the phone.
"I know you can't come back this year, it's okay, just let Lin Ping come back alone. I've saved some good food for you, have Lin Ping take it with him later."
Lin Yuyao: "Mother, the New Year is still a long way off."
"It's getting late, there's only a little over a month left."
This period of more than a month is almost two months.
"Yuyao, are you cold? I checked the weather forecast, it looks like it's going to snow."
Lin Yuyao turned her head and looked outside. It was indeed snowing, but only a little. You could still see some snow on the tree branches.
"not cold."
"It's snowing, how can it not be cold?"
"I'm warming myself by the fire, and I'm dressed warmly, so I'm not cold at all. By the way, has your sister-in-law given birth yet?"
She calculated that she would be born around December.
"It'll be soon, in the next few days. If she hasn't given birth by then, we'll take her to the hospital."
"Then you'd better prepare your things in advance. Women give birth very quickly; they can give birth whenever they want, so we can't wait."
"I know, everything is packed, I can just grab it and go."
