Meng Yan's Transformation

"Qiqi, this pen and this notebook are for you. Write an article about number 3 and an article about number 2. When you finish, your aunt will reward you with a small paper boat and a paper airplane, okay?" Zhan Mengyan took out her homework book and prepared to do her homework. She was worried that Qiqi would have nothing to do, so she assigned homework to Qiqi as well.

"Okay, I've finished writing. Auntie is going to fold a small boat with lace for me." Kiki said.

"Okay, we have a deal. Let's start doing our homework now." Zhan Mengyan said as she high-fived Qiqi.

Yunqing saw her aunt and niece quietly doing their homework, so she quietly went to the outer kitchen to steam egg cakes for Qiqi and prepare dinner.

As night was falling, Zhan Yu, Zhan Ziqiang and Zhan Yingying returned from the production team.

Yunqing prepared dinner and the whole family gathered around the table to eat dinner together.

While eating, Qiqi played with the paper airplanes and paper boats that Zhan Mengyan had folded for her.

"Dad, Mom, you just had dinner. We've all finished eating. I'm here to pick up Qiqi. Qiqi, why are you playing while eating? Eat quickly so you can go home with mom after dinner." Guihua said as she walked into the house.

"Mom, I don't want to go home. After I finish my meal, I want my aunt to tell me a story." Qiqi said.

"Qiqi, your father made a new toy for you today. Do you want to go home and see it? If you don't go home, I will give the new toy to your sister Zhuozhuo to play with." Guihua said.

"Mom, I've finished eating now. Let's go home. Aunt Mengyan, I'll come back tomorrow to listen to your stories."

As soon as Kiki heard that her father had made a new toy for her, she couldn't wait to go home with her mother.

The next day, Zhan Mengyan went to school as usual and found that three classmates were absent from the class. The teacher said that they were sick with a cold.

Several students in the class felt nauseous, vomited, and had high fevers so were sent home by the teacher.

"Why does Mengyan look so pale? You've been eating very little recently. Why do you feel sick when you see me stir-frying green onions with oil? Mom, let's go to the hospital for a check-up tomorrow?" Yunqing asked after noticing the changes in Mengyan.

"I feel a sharp pain in my chest. Several classmates in our class are sick. I may have been infected. I will be fine after some time." Zhan Mengyan replied.

After a few days, Zhan Mengyan became thinner and weaker. Yunqing took Zhan Mengyan to the county hospital for a blood test. The doctor said that Zhan Mengyan had acute hepatitis A.

Yunqing took Zhan Mengyan home and discussed with Zhan Yu about treating her for hepatitis. She also separated the bowls and chopsticks used by Zhan Mengyan from everyone else and sprinkled lime powder on the house for disinfection.

Zhan Yu did not give Yunqing money to buy medicine for Zhan Mengyan, so Yunqing found a folk remedy and boiled water with corn silk and raw hawthorn for Zhan Mengyan to drink.

Zhan Mengyan took the folk remedy for a month, and Yunqing took Zhan Mengyan to the county hospital for blood tests. The test report showed that Zhan Mengyan's original acute hepatitis A turned into chronic hepatitis B.

Zhan Mengyan's once plump cheeks were now sunken, and her bright eyes seemed even bigger, but too big to be scary. Her face was sallow and bloodless, and she walked with her hands covering her chest, as if her heart would fall out if she didn't. The pain in her chest and abdomen was so severe that she couldn't sleep all night.

"This child may not be able to be saved if she is not treated properly. Zhan Yu, please think of a way to save Meng Yan!" Yun Qing said to Zhan Yu while crying.

"I will write a letter to the third brother Zichuan tomorrow to see if he can mail some money home. If I have the money, I can buy medicine for Mengyan. It is impossible to get an advance from the production team now, and there is nowhere to borrow. Every family is in difficulty and has no money..." Zhan Yu said helplessly.

"Zhan Yu, please write it now. Ziqiang lost one of his lungs due to burns and he became disabled because we didn't reduce his fever in time. We also delayed Mengyan's treatment. Her acute hepatitis A turned into chronic hepatitis B. If Mengyan's hepatitis is delayed any further, she will die..." Yunqing said with red eyes.

"Okay, okay, I'll write it now. What debt do I owe to Ulan Yayan and Mingqi in my past and present life? And you, Yunqing, what benefits did they give you that you became their debt collector?" Zhan Yu said irritably.

"Zhan Yu, I tell you, Meng Yan is our biological daughter. If you can save her, then save her. If you can't, then stop talking nonsense!" Yun Qing said angrily.

"Mom, don't cry, don't quarrel with Dad. I will be well in a few days. It's just that my disease is contagious. The school won't let me go to school. Sister Guihua doesn't dare to let Qiqi see me. I miss her a little. I really hope my hepatitis will get better soon so that I can see Qiqi again. When I get better, I can go to school and listen to the teacher's lectures. I miss my classmates and teachers too... Dad, who did you just say you owe a debt to? Why don't I understand?" Meng Yan said weakly.

"My dear daughter, your father loves you so much that he is talking nonsense in a hurry. Your father will write a letter to your third brother Zichuan right away. Your brother Zichuan will definitely mail you the money to buy medicine." Yunqing said while caressing Zhan Mengyan with heartache.

Zhan Yu took out a pen and a piece of letter paper and wrote:

My son, hello Zichuan!

It’s been a long time since we last contacted each other, but my parents are always thinking about and missing Zichuan…
