Chapter 194 Original Sin 3
Let’s not even talk about whether she can escape. Even if she really manages to get out, in this day and age, there are quite a few human traffickers outside. If she’s not careful, she might get kidnapped and sold! Even if she can avoid the traffickers, Yun Shuangshuang can at most ensure her own survival. If she were to bring along Feng Jinyan, who’s still erratic, they wouldn’t even be able to leave this mountain village.
Although this village, due to its proximity to the town and the outside county, has residents who understand the law and don’t engage in buying wives or similar practices, with a simple folk culture, still, if Lin Shuangshuang were to ask someone to take her and her erratic mother to the town, no one would dare to agree.
No one would agree to let a few-year-old child take her erratic mother and leave the village to make a living. It’s practically a death wish. Doing so isn’t an act of kindness but rather a sinful act.
The most urgent thing for Yun Shuangshuang to do now is to find a way to get her mother released. Keeping her locked up for so long has deteriorated her health.
In her past life, Feng Jinyan’s health was already poor, always sickly. Unfortunately, at first, Yun Shuangshuang had no money to treat Feng Jinyan. At that time, Feng Jinyan herself was not clear-headed, and all she could do was cry out in pain.
The money Yun Shuangshuang earned was all spent at the hospital, yet it was just a drop in the bucket and couldn’t thoroughly cure Feng Jinyan’s illness. Without money to buy those expensive and effective imported medicines, during that time, Yun Shuangshuang was utterly overwhelmed, waking up every day thinking about making money.
Although Feng Jinyan was erratic, she wasn’t completely foolish. She knew that her constant medication and hospital visits made life hard for Yun Shuangshuang. Out of concern for Yun Shuangshuang, when she felt unwell again, Feng Jinyan would endure silently.
Yun Shuangshuang was too young, exhausting herself daily to earn money, not realizing that Feng Jinyan was hiding her condition in front of her. Poor people don’t have the means to indulge in preventive health checks when healthy, leading Yun Shuangshuang to genuinely be deceived by Feng Jinyan.
Seeing Feng Jinyan no longer crying out in pain, Yun Shuangshuang happily thought her mother’s condition had improved. Even when Feng Jinyan often caught colds, Yun Shuangshuang, inexperienced, didn’t know it was due to her deteriorating health, thinking it was just a lack of nutrition. She merely ensured Feng Jinyan had a meal with meat every day.
Not until Yun Shuangshuang had built up her business and earned enough money to have Feng Jinyan undergo health checkups did she discover that Feng Jinyan’s health had entirely deteriorated, beyond recovery, even with gradual care.
