Love You Till the End Chapter 1194 - 1192: Shi Mei vs Shi Keke (39)

After reviewing the documents, Chen Shijin posed another question to Zhang Er: "Ms. Zhang Er, were you negligent in supervising your child on July 18th, which led to an injury? Please answer with a simple yes or no."

Zhang Er responded affirmatively with a nod, "Yes."

July 18th was the very date Shi Keke had previously requested the judge to present Evidence One, confirming Qian Hao's illicit affair at a hotel.

Three days prior, Shi Keke had inquired with Zhang Er about the events of that day. Zhang Er recounted her dispute with Qian Hao concerning money for baby formula. Qian Hao had stormed out in a fit of rage, which triggered an asthma attack in Zhang Er.

Her asthma medication was located in the bedroom. Zhang Er attempted to retrieve it herself but collapsed after only a few steps, completely unable to breathe.

Zhang Er’s eldest son, barely two years old, approached his mother when he saw her struggling on the floor. Zhang Er instructed him to fetch a white bottle from a bedroom drawer. The boy, showing remarkable understanding, promptly went to get the medicine.

However, as he entered the room, he stumbled, hitting his head against the cabinet. This impact resulted in a minor concussion for Zhang Er's son, requiring him to stay in the hospital for half a month.

According to Zhang Er, it was their next-door neighbor who heard the commotion and rushed over with some other individuals to help. They subsequently transported both Zhang Er and her son to the hospital.

To corroborate Zhang Er's account, Shi Keke personally visited her residential area and interviewed the neighbors to ascertain the facts. Their testimonies perfectly aligned with Zhang Er's statement.

Furthermore, Shi Keke gathered from the neighbors that Qian Hao seldom came home, sometimes absent for an entire month, neglecting his wife and child and even withholding funds for the baby's formula.

As a legal professional, Shi Keke understood the importance of not relying solely on one person's word. Consequently, she questioned several residents regarding Zhang Er's domestic circumstances.

The inquiries confirmed Zhang Er's honesty; every detail she provided was accurate. She often found herself overwhelmed with caring for two young children and occasionally enlisted the help of neighbors when she found it too challenging to manage alone.

The neighbors harbored deep sympathy for Zhang Er and her children, frequently assisting her with minor tasks out of kindness.

The neighbors distinctly recalled the intense argument between Zhang Er and Qian Hao on July 18th, characterizing it as a fierce quarrel.

At that moment, Zhang Er appeared to be confronting Qian Hao, saying, "You're readily spending hundreds of thousands on a house and car for another woman, yet you refuse to give me a few thousand for formula. Zhang Hao, do the six or seven years we've shared a bed mean less to you than a woman you've only known for a few months?"

Qian Hao's retort was, "Look at your face—it's aged and sallow, and your figure has dramatically changed. What man would find you appealing? You should consider why you fall short compared to her."

Neighbors also noted that after their argument, Qian Hao apparently tossed down a few thousand dollars before leaving and did not return for about a month.

They expressed their sympathy for Zhang Er and her children, deeming them truly unfortunate to be burdened with an irresponsible husband and father who chose to indulge in extramarital pleasures rather than fulfill his family responsibilities.

Therefore, while Zhang Er did exhibit negligence in care, her actions are somewhat justifiable, as the child's injury was an unforeseen consequence beyond her direct control.
