Chapter 23 Force Her to Withdraw the Complaint
The confessions of Gao Yunxia and Liu Chunyan are totally inconsistent. Both of them are now starting to shirk responsibility. However, Gao Yunxia is much smarter. She understands the law and knows how to handle current affairs. Therefore, she knows how to show weakness. Liu Chunyan is completely different. She did not realize the seriousness of the problem at first. She became scared after being arrested. She tried crying, making a fuss, and threatening to commit suicide, but to no avail. Now she is behaved well.
Gao Yunxia's family found a lawyer for her. When Liu Chunyan's parents saw that the matter had become a big deal, they stopped caring. The Han family also stopped caring. Liu Chunyan does not have a lawyer now. But Han's mother disagreed and insisted on finding a lawyer. She said the shorter the sentence could be, the better. After all, she had given birth to two sons for their Han family!
Gao Yunxia and Liu Chunyan's trial is scheduled to begin in a week.
Lin Anan asked her parents to hire a lawyer for her in the provincial capital, but her mother said, "We don't need a lawyer."
Lin Anan said, "How can that be possible? Even though I am a victim, how can I not hire a lawyer?"
Huo Qingqing said: "Uncle and aunt, I will pay for An An's lawyer fees."
Lin's father and mother looked very unhappy. They looked at each other and Lin's mother said, "Why, are you really planning to kill that educated youth?"
This time, Huo Qingqing, Lin Anan and Han Jianwu were confused. Why did Lin's father and mother suddenly become so irritated?
Lin Anan asked her mother, "Mom, what do you mean by this? They want to kill me? The judge has the final say on the sentence! How can it be that we have to sentence her to death?"
Lin's mother said, "We met the mother of the educated youth when we were getting lunch at noon."
Lin Anan frowned, "No wonder you guys were out for so long, what did she tell you?"
Lin's mother said, "She wants to reconcile with us. They can compensate us privately and ask you to withdraw the lawsuit."
Lin Anan was so angry that her wound hurt. "Is she daydreaming? Her daughter wants to kill me."
Mother Lin sighed, glanced at Han Jianwu and Huo Qingqing, and said, "But why would Gao Zhiqing and that village woman surnamed Liu want to kill you when they have no grudge against you? An An, you have never told me and your father the truth."
Huo Qingqing and Han Jianwu had been out for too long, and it turned out that some things happened in the hospital that they didn't know about.
No wonder when they returned to the ward this time, Mr. and Mrs. Lin’s expressions and attitudes were completely different from before.
Lin Anan, "Mom, what do you mean by this?"
Father Lin said, "The mother of the educated youth Gao told us the whole story. It was all because of this educated youth Huo! You were injured because of her, so the couple was so active in serving you, right?"
Lin Anan couldn't believe that the two people in front of her were her parents. "Mom and Dad, I'm your daughter, right? That's not how it works. No matter what, I'm the victim!"
Lin's mother said, "An An, don't get excited and listen to what I and your father have to say!"
Lin Anan, "I don't want to hear it. I won't withdraw the lawsuit. It's such a big deal. How do you think about withdrawing the lawsuit?"
Father Lin's face changed drastically, and he roared like a completely different person, "I have raised you for nothing all these years. You have made no progress in the countryside all these years. Instead, what have you learned from some shady people?"
Lin Anan shook her head, "What do you want from me?"
Father Lin said, "Withdraw the lawsuit, and we will settle it privately. First of all, they didn't intend to kill you, it was just an accident. Besides, aren't you fine now?"
Lin Anan couldn't believe her ears. She shook her head and said in despair, "I really doubt that I am not your biological child. How can biological parents treat their daughter like this?"
As soon as Huo Qingqing and Han Jianwu opened their mouths, Father Lin looked at them as if they were enemies. "Comrade Han, Huo Zhiqing, you two should leave first. This is our family affair and we don't need outsiders to interfere."
Huo Qingqing said, "Uncle and aunt, I don't care what Gao Yunxia's mother told you, but this case has been filed. The whole Hanjiagou family was watching! There were also dozens of educated youth who witnessed what happened. How can you just withdraw the lawsuit? Since you dragged me out, I can't just ignore it. Even if An An heard their secret at the time and aroused their murderous intent, it is a fact that they killed people!"
Lin Anan's heart sank and she shook her head, "Qingqing, you two should go out first!"
At this moment, Lin Anan completely believed what her friends in the alley said, that she was picked up from the garbage dump by her parents. If the person in the accident was a sister or brother who was two years younger than her, why would they say this?
They just want some money from the Gao family.
Lin Anan could have joined the supply and marketing cooperative back then, but her parents insisted that she go to the countryside because if she didn't go, her younger sister, who didn't get into high school, would have to go.
Lin's father and mother did ideological work on Lin Anan.
Mother Lin said, "Gao Zhiqing and you usually have an average relationship, but we have no grudges against each other. The origin of this matter is the feud between that village woman named Liu Chunyan and Huo Qingqing and Han Jianwu. But you, you don't know how high the sky is and why you are getting involved with Huo Qingqing? Now you've dragged yourself into it, haven't you?"
Lin Anan, "How much money did the Gao family say they would give you?"
"One thousand yuan in cash and three hundred kilograms of food coupons."
Lin Anan, "Is the Gao family so rich? Gao Yunxia is an educated youth who is even poorer than me."
Father Lin said, "Her mother's family is rich, and the parents will do whatever it takes to help their children achieve their future. But you never think about your family, and you always get involved with some people? Huo Qingqing married a country man, so she can never go back to the city. What good things are waiting for you to get so close to her?"
Lin Anan was desperate. She knew that her parents had earned a good reputation among the neighbors under the banner of being role models. They treated her well on the surface, but they were completely different when it came to the interests of their younger siblings.
Lin Anan was silent for a long time, and said: "This matter has been filed. It won't be easy for me to withdraw the lawsuit."
Lin's father and mother's eyes lit up. It seemed that there was hope. "You can withdraw the lawsuit before the trial and re-record your statement. You hit your head against a rock at the time and your memory is confused. Now you remember some things."
Lin's mother said, "You are the one who wronged Gao Zhiqing in the first place!"
Lin Anan smiled, "Okay, I can withdraw the lawsuit, but I have a condition?"
"explain?"
"First, you must tell me my true background. Second, if I withdraw the lawsuit, it means I can no longer stay in Hanjiagou. You must bring me back to the city and arrange a job for me."
Mother Lin and father Lin looked at each other, and Mother Lin immediately showed her motherly love, wiping away tears and saying, "Good child, you are such a good child, but you are our child, right?"
Lin Anan shouted at the top of her voice, "No... No one would treat their own daughter like this. I have always known that I am not yours. If you don't tell me my true identity, I will fight this lawsuit to the end, and you won't get a penny."
Huo Qingqing outside the door closed her eyes and said, "It's over. An An wants to withdraw the lawsuit."
