Chapter 1338 She Remembered
When Su Xing heard Luo Xiaocao say she wanted a divorce, she was taken aback at first, then asked, "Are you serious?"
Luo Xiaocao nodded, "Mm!"
Su Xing asked again, "Have you really thought it through?"
Luo Xiaocao firmly uttered a single word, "Yes!"
Su Xing breathed a sigh of relief and said with some relief, "It's good that you've come to your senses. If you continue to live with that abusive man, you might end up with more than just two broken ribs next time."
It's great that Luo Xiaocao has decided to get a divorce now. It's easier to get a divorce now. In a few years, when the divorce cooling-off period is implemented, getting a divorce will be really difficult.
Some people who want to escape a bad marriage may have already passed the seventh day after their death, but the cooling-off period for divorce is still ongoing.
"Uh-huh!"
Luo Xiaocao agreed wholeheartedly; she nodded vigorously as she spoke, though it was difficult for her.
Su Xing added, "Tomorrow I'll find you a caregiver to look after you. We can take our time with the rest. Don't rush."
Luo Xiaocao opened her mouth, looking troubled.
Su Xing guessed her concerns and reassured her, "If you're short on cash, don't worry about money. I'll pay for it first, and you can pay me back when you have the money."
When she said "borrow," she really meant it was just a loan, and it had to be repaid.
She's not a freeloader, so of course she can't just give money away for free. She'll have to give Luo Xiaocao an IOU when it's convenient for her.
Even if Luo Xiaocao really couldn't repay the money, she wouldn't care about this small amount.
But one thing at a time, she can't be a philanthropist without any bottom line.
Luo Xiaocao was deeply moved, and tears immediately blurred her vision again.
At the same time, she worried that she wouldn't be able to repay the money or the kindness she was owed...
Su Xing added, "When you divorce that man, you will also get a share of the marital property, as well as compensation. That money should be enough for you to get through a difficult period."
The woman was stunned. Could she still get a share of the money her husband earned?
Will he share it with her?
Actually, although she said she wanted a divorce, she had no idea how to actually do it.
She was also worried that her husband and his family would cause a scene and demand a refund from her family...
She didn't have the money to get a refund.
Her parents certainly won't back down.
So, can the marriage really be dissolved?
At this moment, Su Xing saw that the IV drip was almost empty, so she pressed the call button and asked the nurse to come and change the dressing.
The nurse arrived at the ward quickly.
"What is the patient's name?" the nurse asked, confirming the patient's name.
Luo Xiaocao said in a breathy voice, "Luo... Xiaocao..."
Su Xing raised his voice slightly and repeated, "Her name is Luo Xiaocao."
The nurse nodded and deftly changed the medicine bottle.
After the nurse left, Luo Xiaocao looked at Su Xing again, as if she had something to say.
Su Xing leaned closer to her face and asked, "What do you want to say?"
Luo Xiaocao struggled to speak, "He...he was...arrested by the police today, and...will he be out...very soon?"
The last time they went to the police station, the police didn't do anything to her husband, they just gave him a few words of advice.
She guessed that it might be the same this time, and she was very unwilling to accept it.
“He probably won’t be out anytime soon.” Su Xing patiently explained to her, “He broke two of your ribs, which is already a minor injury level two. A minor injury level two is not really minor; it’s a very serious consequence in injury assessment. He is suspected of intentional injury, violating Article 234 of the Criminal Law for the crime of intentional injury. If it can be proven that he has committed domestic violence against you for a long period of time and on multiple occasions, he may also be guilty of abuse at the same time. Both crimes can be punished concurrently according to law.”
Regarding sentencing, the statutory penalty for intentional injury resulting in minor injury is imprisonment of up to three years, detention, or public surveillance. However, if there are mitigating circumstances such as voluntary surrender, active compensation, or obtaining the victim's forgiveness, the punishment may be mitigated or reduced according to law, and a suspended sentence or short-term detention is highly probation.
Upon hearing the word "forgiveness," Luo Xiaocao immediately reacted with a start, stammering, "I...I don't...I don't forgive!"
“Okay, okay, I don’t forgive him.” Su Xing comforted her and continued, “If his domestic violence against you is more serious, such as assault with a weapon, repeated offenses, etc., and you still do not forgive him, he may be sentenced to six months to two years in prison.”
Luo Xiaocao's lips trembled, and an expression of disbelief appeared on her face!
She never imagined she could send her husband to jail!
Su Xing explained the case to Luo Xiaocao in simple terms: "What I've described above is the criminal case he committed, a case that the state wants to arrest and sentence, resulting in imprisonment and a criminal record. As the victim, you can also claim civil compensation, such as medical expenses, nursing expenses, and lost wages, and the court will support your reasonable claims in accordance with the law."
If you file for divorce and he disagrees, this is a civil case. As the victim, you can file for divorce. Because domestic violence is a legally defined fault, the court will most likely grant the divorce. The victim can also claim damages, and the abusive party will be at a significant disadvantage in the division of property.
Luo Xiaocao's eyes lit up when she heard Su Xing's explanation!
She wasn't confident she'd get a share of the marital property, but after Su Xing's detailed explanation, she understands now that she might actually get a share!
She didn't dare to hope for too much; she just wanted enough to repay the money her benefactor had paid and to support herself until she recovered and found a job.
"Thank you... thank you... Miss Su..."
"No need to keep thanking me." Su Xing thought for a moment and then told Luo Xiaocao his real name, "My name is Su Xing."
"Su...is awake?"
"Correct."
Luo Xiaocao silently repeated the name in her heart several times. It sounded so beautiful...
She remembered it.
Su Xing said, "Your vocal cords are damaged and your throat is swollen. Don't talk too much. Take a rest. I'm not leaving today. I'll stay here with you."
"okay……"
Luo Xiaocao closed her eyes.
Su Xing looked up at the IV drip bottle.
This is the last bottle of medicine. After the injection, she'll take a nap.
At that moment, He Xu sent a message.
When Su Xing opened the window, he saw that He Xu had already brought Bu Diu and the donkey home.
Xu: "We're home. They're getting along quite well."
Xu: "(Image)"
Su Xing zoomed in on the picture and took a closer look, then laughed.
In the photo, the donkey is huddled in the corner of the balcony, sitting with its ears behind its back, its eyes innocent and clear.
He lay down opposite the donkey, his posture elegant and his eyes peaceful.
Beside Bu Diu, the stumbling block was hunched over, baring its teeth, and breathing on the donkey, the newcomer. Moreover, it had one paw raised, clearly indicating that it had not only breathed on the donkey but also moved its paw.
Can't you stay awake? "You call this getting along well? (Expression: laughing and crying)"
Xu: "Of course it's good. The stumbling block didn't react negatively, it just gave the newcomer a little welcoming etiquette. As for this Doberman, it has curbed a lot of its bad habits in the new environment, and it also mediates and maintains order. Everyone gets along quite well."
Can't they stay asleep?: "Okay, you're right, they get along well. (Thumbs up emoji)"
Xu: "Is everything alright on your end? How much longer until you finish your medication?"
Can't you stay asleep? "It's nothing serious, there's still half a bottle of medicine left, it'll be finished soon."
Can't she stay asleep? "By the way, she said she wants a divorce."
Xu: "She's figured it out? That's good."
"Can she stay unconscious?" I asked her, and she doesn't have any family or friends who can come and take care of her. It seems we need to hurry up and find her a caregiver. Also, we might need to find her a lawyer.
Xu: "...You're worrying too much."
"Can't we just leave her lying there? I don't want to worry about her, but what else can we do? Just leave her lying in the hospital and ignore her?"
Xu: "Fine, if we're capable of lending a hand without affecting ourselves, let's do it."
Can't you stay asleep?: "Darling, I knew you were a kind and wonderful person. (Emoji: hug)"
Xu: "Come on~"
The young couple chatted for a while, and then Su Xing urged He Xu to go and rest.
By then, the medication was almost finished, and she called a nurse to remove the needle from Luo Xiaocao's arm.
Today, Luo Xiaocao had a urinary catheter inserted, so we don't need to collect her urine.
When Su Xing saw that Luo Xiaocao had opened her eyes, he asked softly, "Do you want to go to university?"
Luo Xiaocao quickly shook her head, "No, no need..."
Su Xing breathed a sigh of relief.
She didn't want to do this kind of work, especially for someone she didn't know at all.
Su Xing put down the folding bed and prepared to rest.
"Call me if you need anything."
"it is good……"
Su Xing turned off the lights in the ward.
Luo Xiaocao lay in the quiet hospital room, staring at the dark ceiling, tears streaming down her face once again...
Feeling wronged, angry, sad, grateful, confused, helpless... a mix of complex emotions made her want to have a good cry.
But if she cried too hard, her ribs would hurt terribly.
She was afraid of waking up, so she bit her lip tightly and sobbed in silence...
Su Xing's hearing was too acute; no matter how much Luo Xiaocao tried to restrain herself, she could still hear her crying.
Su Xing pretended not to know.
Let her cry if she wants to; it's good for her to have a good cry.
Otherwise, if you keep all your emotions bottled up inside, you're more likely to develop health problems.
