Meng Yan's Transformation

Zhan Zixun, however, curled his lip nonchalantly and muttered under his breath, "I just don't know how to sell them. Besides, isn't it supposed to be that Mengyan wakes up before we go sell tomatoes?"

Just as the two were arguing fiercely, Zhan Mengyan rubbed her sleepy eyes and came out of the room. She heard her mother and brother arguing and her heart skipped a beat. Her sleepy mind instantly became clear. She saw her mother's face was red with anger and her brother was standing there stubbornly. She immediately understood what was going on.

Zhan Mengyan walked behind the two of them and said softly, "I'm going to sell tomatoes." Her voice wasn't loud, but it was like a thunderclap in the room. Her mother and Zhan Zixun turned around at the same time and were stunned to see Zhan Mengyan standing there.

A hint of heartache and guilt flashed in Yunqing's eyes. She looked at Zhan Mengyan's tired yet determined gaze, her lips moved but she didn't say anything. Zhan Zixun also lowered his head, a hint of embarrassment and shame on his face. He hadn't expected his sister to take the initiative to stand up.

Yunqing looked at Zhan Mengyan, tears welling up in her eyes and streaming down her face. She stepped forward and gently hugged Zhan Mengyan, choking back sobs as she said, "Mengyan, it's all my fault. I shouldn't have made you so tired..."

Zhan Zixun blushed, stepped forward, scratched his head, and said, "Mengyan, brother... no, brother should go with you to sell tomatoes."

Zhan Mengyan watched as her mother and brother smiled warmly, knowing that the argument had been resolved thanks to her initiative. She turned and picked up a tomato from the side, walking towards the door. Sunlight bathed her, as if draping her in a golden glow. She knew the road ahead might still be difficult, but she was prepared; for her family, she was willing to give everything.

"Mengyan, come back! What's the rush? You haven't had breakfast yet. No matter how urgent the matter is, you need to fill your stomach first so you'll have the energy."

As Yunqing spoke, she staggered after Zhan Mengyan.

"Mom, I'm not hungry. I'll eat after I sell the tomatoes."

Just as Zhan Mengyan was about to step out the door, she suddenly heard a cry of surprise behind her. She turned around and saw that her mother had slipped and almost fell because she was running too fast. Mengyan's heart tightened. She didn't care about the basket in her hand and turned around and rushed back. At the same time, Zhan Zixun also ran over and helped Zhan Mengyan catch her mother who was about to fall.

"Mom, are you alright?" Zhan Mengyan asked anxiously, the basket of tomatoes in her hands almost falling out because she was holding it too tightly.

Zhan Zixun frowned and said, "Mom has a heart condition, Zhan Mengyan, can you please not be so hasty and make Mom anxious?"

Looking at Yunqing's pale face and slightly trembling hands, Zhan Mengyan felt a pang of guilt. She put down the basket in her hand, gently supported her mother, and whispered, "Mom, I'm sorry, I... I just wanted to sell the tomatoes as soon as possible."

Upon hearing this, Yunqing's eyes reddened slightly. She gently patted Zhan Mengran's hand and said, "Silly child, Mom knows you are filial, but you just came back from work and haven't had a proper rest yet. Why don't you take care of yourself?"

Zhan Zixun watched from the side, his tone tinged with reproach, but more so with heartache: "Mengyan, can you please change your impulsive nature? Your mother's body can't take this kind of stress."

Zhan Mengyan nodded, blushing, and said, "Brother, I understand. I'll definitely be more careful in the future."

Sunlight shone on them, creating a warm yet slightly tense scene. Mengyan carried a basket and, together with Zhan Zixun, helped her mother walk slowly back. She secretly vowed to be more careful in the future and not let her mother and brother worry about her anymore.
