Meng Yan's Transformation

Zhan Mengyan is nearsighted and has no glasses, so her myopia is getting worse. She hopes every day that her father will give her money to buy glasses.

Zhan Mengyan began her busy study life in the second year of junior high school amidst the anxiety of expectation and disappointment.

On Sunday, Zhan Mengyan found out that her mother bought toilet paper for Zhan Yingying, but Zhan Yingying hid it secretly and didn't let anyone else use it. Everyone else in the family used discarded paper from old newspapers and books to go to the toilet.

Zhan Mengyan felt that the toilet paper Zhan Yingying used was soft and comfortable, so she wanted to try it too. She asked Zhan Yingying, "Sister Yingying, can you give me some of the toilet paper you use?"

"Mengyan, you are too young to use it. Besides, my mother only bought me this amount of toilet paper, which is not enough for me." Zhan Yingying replied.

When Zhan Mengyan heard that Zhan Yingying didn't give her toilet paper, she was very angry and retorted: "Stingy, forget it if you don't give it to me. The reasons you gave are all so fake. You said I was too young to use it. You can't bear to give it to me, so just say you can't bear to give it to me. Everyone knows that old newspapers are hard when used to wipe the butt, and toilet paper is soft and must be comfortable to use. Everyone in the family uses old newspapers, old books and discarded paper to go to the toilet, but you are the only one who uses toilet paper. Is your butt precious?"

"Zhan Mengyan, you are still a student, how can you say such vulgar and unbearable words?" Zhan Yingying was so embarrassed by Zhan Mengyan's retort that she walked away with a red face.

Zhan Mengyan saw Zhan Yingying coming out of the toilet holding her stomach, so she also went to the toilet to relieve herself. She saw the pink toilet paper under the toilet pit was stained red with blood. She was shocked at first, and then she said to herself with gloating: "Zhan Yingying, you stingy guy, I asked you for some toilet paper, but you, as a sister, were reluctant to give it to me. This time you are suffering retribution, it must be that your intestines are broken, so you have so much pus and blood. I heard that when bad people are punished, pus will flow from their heads and sores will appear on the soles of their feet. Zhan Yingying, you are squeamish and stingy, so your intestines are broken and bleeding. Dad and Mom are too partial. They bought me a pair of myopic glasses and said they had no money, but they had money to buy Zhan Yingying such good toilet paper for going to the toilet. This is too unfair..."

Zhan Mengyan came back from the toilet and saw Yunqing making a bowl of brown sugar water for Zhan Yingying. Zhan Yingying was curled up on the kang, her face pale and her hands covering her stomach.

"Yingying, drink the brown sugar water quickly, it will relieve your stomachache." Yunqing brought the brown sugar water to Zhan Yingying and said.

"Mom, I don't want to drink it. It's useless." Zhan Yingying said with a frown in pain.

"Mom, my sister doesn't want to drink, so I'll drink it." Zhan Mengyan said.

"Mengyan, this brown sugar water is not for you to drink. Didn't you see that your sister Yingying has a stomachache? This brown sugar water is medicine to cure your sister Yingying's stomachache. It is not for you, a child." Yunqing said.

Zhan Mengyan felt very hurt and disappointed when she heard Yunqing's words. She muttered softly, "I haven't heard that brown sugar water is a medicine for stomachache. Then when Dad was treating the patient's stomachache last time, couldn't he just give her a bowl of brown sugar water? And you said that children can't drink brown sugar water? Aren't you lying to me? Do you think I'm a fool? You're all stingy..."

"Mengyan, what are you mumbling about there?" Yunqing asked.

"I mean, mom, when can you help me ask dad for money so that I can buy a pair of glasses for my myopia?" Zhan Mengyan replied.

"Mengyan, don't worry. When autumn comes, the production team will distribute the grain according to work points, and the remaining work points will be distributed as money. When the family gets the money, I will ask your father for it." Yunqing replied.

Zhan Mengyan felt that her mother favored her older sister, and she developed a rift with her sister.

Zhan Zi'an also discovered that Yunqing bought toilet paper and red sugar water for her younger sister, and felt that Yunqing was partial to her own biological daughter. He also developed a rift with Yunqing.

One day, Zhan Zi'an said to Zhan Yu when no one was at home, "Dad, I found out that my mother secretly bought toilet paper for Zhan Yingying to use, and also gave her brown sugar water to drink. She is too partial to Zhan Yingying. Why does my mother only give the good things and drinks to her own children, and not to us? I remember when I was a child, if there was a piece of candy at home, my mother would divide it among the children and distribute it equally. Now my mother has changed. She has become selfish and only cares about her own daughter."

After hearing what Zhan Zi'an said, Zhan Yu was furious and said, "Zhan Zi'an, you are such an ungrateful person. Your mother loves you so much. You are such a bastard."

Zhan Zi'an blushed and said, "As the saying goes: if there is a stepmother, there must be a stepfather. This is really true. The facts are in front of you, but you still side with them without knowing right or wrong..."

When Zhan Yu heard Zhan Zi'an say that he was his stepfather, he was even more furious. He raised his hand suddenly and slapped Zhan Zi'an in the face. The slap was so strong that Zhan Zi'an's cheek was almost numb from the pain. A trace of blood slowly oozed out of the corner of his mouth. His ears were buzzing. Zhan Zi'an's body was shaking, and the anger and fear in his eyes were instantly replaced by pain. It seemed that only the loud slap and his heavy breathing were left in the air.

Zhan Zi'an's eyes were like hot lava, boiling in intense anger. He stared at Zhan Yu, his face flushed. At the same time, his eyes dimmed, suddenly flickered, and turned dark again, and then he fanned up uncontrollable anger, and a blue vein on his temples throbbed slightly...

Zhan Yu looked at Zhan Zi'an, whose eyes were as big as copper bells, full of angry flames, as if he wanted to burn everything to ashes. He felt that he had hit too hard, but he didn't want to lose the dignity of an elder, so he also glared and said: "Zhan Zi'an, you are glaring at me so angrily, do you want to hit me too?"

"I won't hit you, but I want to separate from you. I want to go there alone with brother Ziqiang. I don't care how partial you and mom are." Zhan Zi'an said gritting his teeth.

"Hehe..." Zhan Yu sneered angrily.

"What's wrong with you two, father and son? Why are you glaring at each other?" Yunqing came back from outside and saw the two of them glaring at each other, and asked in confusion.

"Ask him, ask your good son Zhan Zi'an what he wants to do?" Zhan Yu pointed at Zhan Zi'an with trembling hands.

"Zi'an, tell mom quickly, what happened that made you so unhappy?" Yunqing asked gently.

Zhan Zi'an quickly lowered his head, his hands stroking his hair unnaturally, his eyes flickering, obviously hiding his nervousness, his eyes shifted away unnaturally, not daring to look directly at Yunqing, it can be seen that he felt a little guilty, Zhan Zi'an stammered: "It's nothing, brother Ziqiang and I are both grown up, we want to separate, and we went out to sell it."

“Yunqing, listen to this, it’s true that ‘the son grows up and is no longer under the control of his mother’. His wings have grown hard and he wants to fly away. Zhan Zichuan has flown to his mother-in-law’s house, and now it’s Zhan Ziqiang and Zhan Zian’s turn. You two want to fly away before you get married, isn’t it a little too early?” Zhan Yu said angrily.

Yunqing said hurriedly, "Zhanyu, Zi'an has grown up. You can't talk to your son nicely. It's a good thing for a child to grow up and have his own opinions. Zi'an, mom supports you to separate and live separately. You and Ziqiang are strong laborers in the production team now, and you earn a lot of work points. You can't live with us, the old and the young. We will become a burden to you. You have grown up and need to save money for a wife. If you go out and separate and live separately, it will be easier to find a partner in the future. Because if you stay with us, girls will consider that your younger brother, sister, and mom are a burden to you, and will not marry someone they are willing to marry. Mom hopes you can get married and start a family early. Zi'an, you are a high school graduate, and your cultural knowledge cannot be wasted. I want you to learn a craft. The profession of carpenter is very popular now. Your cousin's husband is a skilled carpenter. We will take some gifts and go to worship him as a teacher that day. With a skill, it will be easier for you to find a wife."

When Zhan Zi'an heard Yun Qing's plan for him, he felt very ashamed, as if his selfish thoughts were exposed to the sun and could not be hidden. He said anxiously: "Mom, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I don't want to separate the family."

Yunqing said puzzledly, "Why would I feel sorry for Mom if we split up the family? Mom feels sorry for you and has dragged you down. Since you've let it go and are willing to split up, this family must be split up. A few days ago, I asked a matchmaker to introduce you to someone, but the matchmaker said that the girl didn't like the large number of people in our family, so I wanted you to live alone, but I was worried that you would misunderstand and that Dad and Mom would chase you away, so I didn't tell you."
