Ruling the Historical Romance Novel as the Female Supporting Character-Chapter 398: The Despicable Woman Who Abandons Her Husband and Children
"Don’t worry about her," she said, shaking her head at Qin Kaize.
Qin Kaize relaxed his stern expression and returned to her side.
As long as it didn’t involve his wife’s safety, he would always listen to her.
Su Yijia also disliked that woman from before, but she didn’t want to get into a confrontation.
After all, it was just some shouting; it wouldn’t cost her anything.
Qin Kaize shielded Su Yijia as they returned to their seats to avoid that woman crashing into them again.
Just then, the woman hadn’t even left the compartment before the people chasing her rushed in.
"Well! You heartless little bitch, so you’re here after all!"
A woman with dry, yellowed skin saw Yu Qingzhu and glared at her angrily.
She reached out to claw at Yu Qingzhu’s head, but a man stopped her.
"Third Brother!" the woman growled angrily.
The two men standing nearby also expressed their discontent: "Third Brother, your wife is trying to abandon you and the two kids. Are you still protecting her?"
"What’s the point of fighting? She’s weak and can’t handle this," the man called Third Brother frowned.
Tsk, still lovesick, huh?
Su Yijia didn’t want to watch this drama, but she couldn’t help but lean forward to see.
Qin Kaize pulled her back, leaving just half her head visible outside their seat.
"Just watch like this; don’t fall." His warm breath brushed against Su Yijia’s ear.
She shrank her neck a bit, feeling restless as she nestled against Qin Kaize.
The breathing above her changed pace, adding warmth to the moment.
Fearing that her thoughts would drift back to her man, Su Yijia quickly shifted her focus back to the commotion.
She saw the two men still glaring at their brother with disappointment.
"She’s weak? She’s the best-fed in our family!" the man’s sister-in-law said, her eyes turning red with anger.
His elder brother chimed in, "She says she’s going to work, but really she just wants to take up a spot and make you do twice the work!
Does our family lack her food? She clearly wants to work you to death! The best she gets is rice porridge; if there’s good grain, she’ll split it with the kids at home. After five years, does she even care about you?"
The man’s head drooped slightly as he pursed his lips in silence.
But seeing him like this made his family furious.
They really wanted to just leave him behind.
But he was family, and it wasn’t right to let others bully him.
"Quick, take your wife and let’s go home."
The man’s elder brother felt deeply embarrassed and pushed him.
The man hurried to pull his wife.
But Yu Qingzhu, seemingly mad, flailed her arms wildly.
"Get lost! You go away! I won’t go back! If you force me, that’s a crime."
"We’re married," the man insisted, suppressing his anger.
This was looking a bit too lenient.
He was enabling Yu Qingzhu’s relentless behavior.
Not only did she push him away to avoid being too restrained, but she also raised her hand and slapped him hard across the face.
The force of it made Su Yijia wince.
This man, really... even at this point, he wouldn’t be tougher.
No wonder he was being bullied like this.
"we are not a couple! We never got a marriage certificate. It was you who disregarded my wishes and forced me into this. All these years, I’ve just been compromising to get along."
Yu Qingzhu said this with such righteousness.
"I didn’t; you said you were willing to marry me back then," the man countered, pain evident in his voice.
Su Yijia initially thought she would see them tearing each other apart, but instead, what she witnessed was a weak, submissive figure.
She glanced at her watch and then spoke up, "There are only ten minutes left before the train leaves. You’re not going to resolve anything by arguing; you might as well get off the train and go directly to the police station for an investigation."
"How can we go to the police station?! Our family has been poor farmers for three generations and has never done anything illegal. Going to the police would be utterly disgraceful!"
The man’s sister-in-law immediately opposed this.
Even Yu Qingzhu looked at Su Yijia with resentment.
But Su Yijia had been glared at many times; she wasn’t afraid of this woman’s empty threats.
Although she disagreed with the idea of forcing two people without feelings to be tied together, this woman’s intentions were far from pure, abandoning her husband and children.
If she wanted to leave, fine, but it had to be clear.
Especially regarding the children; it wasn’t right to simply abandon them.
A mother should provide at least the basic support for her children.
"What’s disgraceful about it? You’re going to seek help from the police to ensure justice. Unless you really did force her, then you’d have to take responsibility," Su Yijia reminded them.
The man looked over, hesitating.
"But we don’t have a marriage certificate."
"So what? Just ask around in the village. Everyone knows why you got married in the first place, and how you’ve interacted over these five years. People aren’t blind," Su Yijia said, a bit disdainfully.
The man’s family didn’t respond immediately, but Yu Qingzhu jumped in first.
"They’re from the same village; they’ll definitely cover for each other! I think you’re in cahoots with them, trying to harm me on purpose."
"If the villagers cover for each other, what about the educated youth in the village?"
Su Yijia found it amusing.
This person had some tricks up her sleeve but shouldn’t assume everyone else was a fool.
She was trampling around carelessly.
Sure enough, after Su Yijia said this, Yu Qingzhu’s expression grew even uglier, her gaze fixed on Su Yijia as if she wanted to skin her alive.
Qin Kaize stepped in front of Su Yijia, blocking Yu Qingzhu’s view.
The oppressive aura forced Yu Qingzhu to reluctantly pull her gaze away.
She then said, "But those educated youth will still be in the village; how could they stand up to testify for me?"
"There have been educated youth returning home to the village over the past five years. Don’t worry; if villagers really pressured an educated youth into marriage, that would be a serious mistake. No matter how complicated the matter, it will be thoroughly investigated," Su Yijia replied.
Yu Qingzhu’s face turned completely pale with rage.
Her body trembled as she said defiantly, "No need to go to the police! After all, Shuisheng and I have been married for five years. Out of respect for our past as a couple, I don’t want the children’s father to be locked up."
"You’re afraid your lies will be exposed, and you’ll end up in prison!"
Su Yijia didn’t give Yu Qingzhu an ounce of face, revealing the little secrets she held inside.
