Chapter 596: Requesting Justice
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
Tan Ron denied Aunt Tao’s answer. “You shouldn’t say sorry to others. You should say it to yourself. Life is precious. Otherwise, Uncle would not have given you the chance to live. You should cherish your life more now.”
Aunt Tao started crying. “i know all this, but i really can’t oppose them.”
“I don’t need you to object.” Tan Ron’s att.i.tude was very firm. “I will tell my father and uncles about this. They will seek justice for you.”
“I…” Aunt Tao hesitated.
“Take me as an example. If Xiao Qi was bullied at school and didn’t dare to say it, then 1 would definitely go and settle the score with the person who bullied him.” Tan Ron said angrily, “i will never tolerate my family being bullied by others!”
Aunt Tao seemed to be affected by Tan Ron’s emotions. “Then you can’t hit them. They are very old.”
This was also one of the reasons why she was willing to endure it. She felt that the two elders of the Jin family were old. Losing their son was already enough to agitate them. She did not want to add to their pain.
“This is a society ruled by law. There’s no need to fight and kill.” Tan Ron said, “We need to use the law to protect ourselves.”
Aunt Tao agreed. “Alright, I’ll listen to you.”
Tan Ron was helpless. Her aunt was too good-tempered. She didn’t even resist when she was beaten up this badly. Moreover, when one partner dies, the marriage between them would automatically be over as well. Aunt Tao was no longer the daughter-in-law of the Jin family. Even if she did not return to the Jin family to see the two elders, there was no problem.
“Aunt, if you don’t think for yourself, then you have to think for your two children, right?” Tan Rou played the emotional card. “They’ve already lost their father. Do you want them to lose their mother too?”
Aunt Tao was completely awake. “No, my child can’t be harmed.”
Tan Rou asked her again, “Do you think these two cousins are closer to you or to their grandparents?”
Aunt Tao answered, “I took care of them since they were born. They must be closer to me. Moreover, they haven’t seen their grandparents much since they were born. We don’t usually live together. If it weren’t for your uncle’s death, 1 probably wouldn’t have brought them to the Jin family to see the two elders.”
Tan Rou nodded. “That makes things easier.””
She cleaned up Aunt Tao’s wound and bandaged it to prevent her clothes from rubbing against it.
“It’s still early. Dad and the others should be talking in the living room. I’ll call my parents to the greenhouse.” Tan Rou sent a message to Mr. Tao. “Don’t tell Grandpa and Grandma about this for now. We’ll tell them after the matter is resolved.”
“Yes, yes. 1 don’t want them to worry.”
“I understand how you feel.” Tan Rou was the same. She liked to take on everything on her own, but she had changed her mind now. She had her family members behind her. If something happened to her, her family members would be the most heartbroken.
On the way to the greenhouse, Tan Rou asked Aunt Tao if she had left any evidence of the Jin family’s two elders beating her. Tao GuGu recalled that there was indeed evidence.
The first time she was beaten up, Aunt Tao did not dare to tell her parents and brothers, so she told her good friend who was far away abroad. Her good friend could not come back now, but she also gave her an idea to keep the evidence of the Jin family’s elders beating her.
Aunt Tao didn’t want to settle the score with them at that time, but she kept the photos of her wounds and recorded the audio of her being scolded. It was just right for her to use it now.
Tan Rou gave Aunt Tao two jars of medicine, one liquid and one solid. “The liquid is used for disinfection, and the solid is applied to the wound. If it’s inconvenient for you, come and find me. 1’11 help you apply the medicine.”
Aunt Tao didn’t want to trouble her niece too much. “i can do it myself.”
Tan Rou sighed, “If you could do it yourself, you wouldn’t have been beaten up by those two old men from the Jin family.”
Since her aunt had been beaten up so badly, Tan Rou would not have any thoughts of respecting the elderly from the Jin family. If it was not against the law to beat someone up, she would have whipped everyone in the Jin family right now and let them have a taste of the feeling of having their skin split open.
Aunt Tao had something on her mind. She looked around when she walked, afraid that her family would see her.
“Don’t worry. Grandpa and Grandma are preparing dinner. They won’t come over suddenly.” Tan Rou comforted her.
Aunt Tao heaved a sigh of relief. “That’s good..”
