Switched Marriage The Coddled Little Wife novel Chapter 439

Chapter 439: Chapter 439: With Sugar, The Pain Goes Away

"What’s wrong with Ningning? Is someone at school bullying you? Or did something happen?"

Ningning raised her small head, looking at her mom, not knowing how to explain.

Qin Juan patiently led the conversation, "No matter what it is, Ningning has to share it with mom, right? Even if Ningning can’t solve the problem, maybe mom can help. I know something must have upset Ningning today."

Ningning looked at her toes and finally began to speak after a while, "Mom, today when I went to the restroom, I accidentally bumped into another kid. I just lightly bumped her, and she started crying, holding her arm in pain. I apologized, but she said it wasn’t my fault."

"Uh-huh, what happened then?" Qin Juan knew her daughter and prompted further.

Ningning pouted, "I feel like it was my fault. She cried, so she must have been hurt by the bump. Later, I followed her secretly and saw her checking her arm when no one was around. Her arm was covered in bruises, like she had been beaten. Mom, I guess it must have been her dad who hit her. She’s so pitiful..."

Her own dad used to hit people and would leave mom looking like that too.

Qin Juan also thought of this.

Although she tried her best to protect the child when she was with Zhang Wenbin, that kind of living environment still left a shadow on her young soul.

As for the child who was beaten...

"If Ningning thinks she’s pitiful, then next time you see her, can you give her some of your candy?"

She didn’t have the power to save anyone; she had been in that environment and understood their mentality better.

If one couldn’t deliver a fatal blow and cut off their means, meaningless resistance would only provoke the offender to become even more vicious.

How many people have the capability to strike a fatal blow?

If she didn’t have a strong maternal family, she might have had to struggle in such a family for her whole life.

Divorce is too hard for women.

Going forward, Qin Juan’s mood also became heavy.

Ningning’s mood improved, though. She hadn’t yet had the heart to eat the candy her mom bought her. The next time she saw that kid, she would give her one... no, two pieces.

With candy to eat, it wouldn’t hurt as much.

It wasn’t until they arrived at Lin Chuxia’s family courtyard that Qin Juan’s mood suddenly lifted.

Seeing her sister-in-law, she was clear on how she achieved her good life today.

"Sister-in-law, didn’t you want to eat the dish with chicken and mushrooms? I bought some wild mushrooms on the way, and they’ll taste best stewed with the old hen from home."

Qin Juan went straight to the kitchen with the mushrooms.

As soon as Yuan Bao saw Ningning arrive, he started hopping around excitedly.

Little Ningning adored Yuan Bao the most; she giggled when licked by him, filling the courtyard with her cheerful laughter.

"Auntie, Yuan Bao must have missed me. Can I give him my candy? I want to give him some."

Lin Chuxia knew Yuan Bao loved children the most, with Zhuangzhuang and Ningning being his best pals.

"Of course, Yuan Bao looks forward to Ningning’s visits every day."

With permission granted, Ningning dug into her pocket and pulled out a piece of fruit candy. She peeled it and tossed it into the air, "Yuan Bao, catch!"

Yuan Bao, knowing he was being offered a treat, leapt up and caught the candy in one go.

"Wow, Yuan Bao, you’re amazing! Auntie, Yuan Bao is really incredible."

"Ningning is quite impressive too."
