Feng Xiuqin was startled by her actions and hurriedly tried to pull her away, scolding her, "How can I save him! Do you really think your mother is the all-powerful Buddha? I've already done my best to raise your child, what more do you want from me?"
Instead of getting up, Feng Lin took the opportunity to grab her hand tightly, looked at her earnestly, and said urgently, "As long as you agree to let me sell our house, Mom, it will save Brother Chen!"
This was the last option she could think of.
Feng Xiuqin was stunned when she heard this. She frowned and stared at Feng Lin: "You want to sell the house?!"
Feng Lin gripped her hand tightly, pleading tearfully, "Mom, if even you won't help me, I really don't know what to do! Brother Chen will really die!"
Upon hearing that the house was to be sold, Feng Xiuqin became unusually calm.
"Why sell the house? Don't you still have the money from selling Hanhan? What do you need so much money for? What exactly did Sheng Feichen do wrong?"
Feng Lin: "Brother Chen has been arrested. Now I need to pay for a lawyer to get him out."
"Arrested?" Feng Xiuqin exclaimed in surprise, then asked urgently, "What did you do to get arrested?"
Feng Lin stammered and couldn't get the words out. Feng Xiuqin got impatient, yanked her arm hard, and growled, "Speak!"
Feng Lin trembled with fright. She wanted to hide it, but she didn't dare to anymore. She could only honestly say, "Attempted rape and intentional injury."
Feng Xiuqin was completely stunned. "Attempted rape?"
Her body began to tremble uncontrollably, whether from anger or fear, it was unclear.
“But he was framed by those people!” Feng Lin explained urgently, then grabbed Feng Xiuqin’s hand tightly as if grasping at a lifeline, pleading in a low voice, “Mom, please help me, okay? As long as we sell the house, Brother Chen will be saved, maybe he won’t even have to go to jail!”
Feng Xiuqin looked down at her in disbelief, then suddenly pulled her hand away and slapped her across the cheek.
"Feng Lin, are you out of your mind! You can give him money to avoid going to jail, but can that erase the fact that he committed rape?"
Feng Lin was knocked to the ground, covering her face and crying helplessly.
"Mom, I can't just stand by and watch Chen become like this, I can't! He's become like this because of me. If it weren't for me, how could he have been plotted against and retaliated against by Zhao Bo and his gang?"
She crawled to Feng Xiuqin's feet on her knees. "Mom, please, for my sake, help me, okay?"
Feng Xiuqin shoved her away, "Feng Lin, it's not you who owes him! It's him who owes you! If he hadn't gotten you pregnant, why would you have dropped out of school halfway and become like this today! What did he say to you that brainwashed you into this state!"
After scolding her, Feng Xiuqin felt dizzy and her vision began to blur.
She clutched her head, which was throbbing from the lack of oxygen, and barely managed to steady herself.
"Get out of here! As long as I'm alive, don't even think about taking this house!"
After she finished speaking, she turned around and walked into the house.
Feng Lin watched her resolute back, scrambled to her feet, and cried out, "What about Brother Chen?!"
Feng Xiuqin didn't even turn her head. "Let him die wherever he wants. It's none of my business."
Feng Lin's eyes trembled, filled with despair. She turned her head helplessly, her gaze suddenly stopping on the fruit knife in the fruit plate on the table.
She rushed forward, grabbed a fruit knife, and held it to her own neck.
"If you don't give me the money, I'll end my own life right now, and I mean it!"
She emphasized each word, as if to express her determination.
Feng Xiuqin trembled, turned stiffly, looked at Feng Lin with a resolute expression, and tears streamed down her face.
"I gave birth to you and raised you for so many years, and you want to end your life for this man? Did you ever think about me?"
Feng Lin was also in tears, and her voice softened.
"Mom, I don't want to pressure you, but please don't pressure me either. Just sell the house to save Chen-ge, even if it's just out of pity!"
Upon hearing this, Feng Xiuqin nodded heavily, strode forward, and snatched the fruit knife.
"Fine! You want to die? I'll go with you, I'll die with you!"
She screamed hysterically.
Feng Lin watched in disbelief as a bloody gash appeared on Feng Xiuqin's neck. Her eyes widened in shock, her eyelashes trembled, and she finally succumbed to utter despair.
She collapsed, staggered, and fell to the ground.
"Mom, what do you want me to do? How can I save Chen-ge?!"
Feng Xiuqin's breathing was heavy, and her hand gripping the fruit knife was trembling, but her gaze toward Feng Lin did not waver in the slightest.
"If you want to sell your house to save him, then just wait until I die."
Feng Lin covered her face and burst into tears, "Mom, why are you forcing me like this?"
Feng Xiuqin ignored her, turned around and walked into the house. After closing the door, her body went limp.
The knife in her hand clattered to the ground, her face filled with pain and fear.
Feng Lin curled up on the ground and cried until she was exhausted before she stopped crying.
Her eyes were blankly fixed on the floor in front of her, and she kept repeating, "What should I do? What should I do?"
She kept muttering to herself, then suddenly froze, her pupils gradually regaining focus.
"Hanhan!"
Feng Lin exclaimed in surprise, "I still have Hanhan!"
She suddenly perked up, got up from the ground, walked to Feng Xiuqin's room door, and pushed it open without knocking.
Feng Xiuqin, who was sitting on the bed, was startled and then frantically grabbed the fruit knife next to her.
Feng Lin watched her movements and asked expressionlessly, "Mom, do you want to see Hanhan?"
Feng Xiuqin was stunned by her sudden remark and repeated in disbelief, "Hanhan? You mean you want to see Hanhan?"
Feng Lin nodded in agreement.
"If you want to see Hanhan, you have to do as I say."
kindergarten.
The teacher looked at Feng Lin standing in front of her, sizing her up and down several times, her brows furrowing more and more tightly.
"Whose parent are you?"
A faint smile graced Feng Lin's delicate face, her haggard appearance from crying completely concealed by makeup.
“I am Bao Han’s sister. His mother had something to do today, so she asked me to pick him up and take him home early.”
Despite her flawless explanation, the teacher remained wary.
Feng Lin had anticipated this. She took out her phone, pulled up a photo of herself and Bao Han, and handed it over.
"Teacher, look, isn't this Hanhan?"
The teacher looked at the photo in the direction she was pointing, and sure enough, the smiling child was Bao Han. Immediately, most of her doubts disappeared.
She turned and called out to Bao Han in the classroom: "Hanhan, Hanhan, come out for a moment."
Bao Han was having a great time playing with the other children when he was suddenly called out, which made him a little unhappy.
But when he saw Feng Lin, his anger immediately turned to joy, and he threw himself into her arms.
"Sister! You've finally come to see me! I've missed you so much!"
