Chapter 9 ( Revenge almost successful)

The next day all visited Feifei as they had heard that she fell sick while trying to save Xianger. The grandmother, father, stepmother and Feifei's mother along with Xiang and Luo Hao came to check on her. Her mother went and sat beside her. The step mother looked angrily and asked," Who told you to come out of your room?" Feifei's mother kept quiet while bowing her head down. Luo Hao said," I brought her here. If Xiang was ill, would you be in your room or try to help her?"

The father told the step mother to keep quiet and get out of the room as she was making unnecessary noise which could ruin Feifei's health. The step mother went away angrily.

All told Feifei to rest and not to do any work which will affect her health. Xiang said that she will take care of her sister as she is responsible for her situation. All went out except her mother and father. The father stayed as he wanted to ask for forgiveness for his past actions.

The mother looked weak. She was only in her thirties but looked like as if she was in her sixties. Feifei got worried and told father that if he really wanted to be forgiven, for then he should provide mother with a better place to live in and be given better food and clothes.

The father agreed as he too felt guilty towards Feifei's mother for the injustice that she had to face for the past few years. Feifei then said, " Father, can you promise me something else?" The father said, " What is it dear? Father will try to fulfill it for you. I promise." Feifei then said," Father since step mother came, you forgot about me completely. Can we go to the lotus pond which I used to play when I was a kid on Monday?"

Father then said, " Sure dear. I can make up for the past injustice which you had to face. On Monday, we go to the lotus river to light some candles as the view of the pond is better at night."

Feifei was happy as her father agreed to go with her.

Both wished for their daughter to get well and soon left the room to let her have some rest.

Feifei and Jiaojiao were happy as their plan was about to succeed.

Afterwards Feifei soon fell asleep and so did Jiaojiao.
