Rebirth: My Mother is a Virgin Mary

Nan Nan's accident happened in the next county. The doctor there was a former student of my uncle. Knowing the relationship between Nan Nan and my uncle, he hurriedly contacted my uncle. My uncle was angry, anxious, and worried, so he transferred Nan Nan to their hospital.

The cut wasn't very deep, but Nan Nan was a professional after all. It wasn't deep, but it was fatal...

Fortunately, the rescue was timely and Sister Nan Nan is not in danger of life now.

The entire way there, I was thinking about what to say to Nan Nan first: a calm conversation? Or a furious outburst? All that thought vanished when I saw her. It was hard not to cry when she looked at me like that...

"Sister..." I just stood at the door, my voice filled with tears, not daring to take a step inside. It's only been a while since I last saw you, how come you've become so thin...

"Linlin, are you back?" Sister Nannan's bony hands were still wet, her collarbone like a horizontal clothes hanger, against the hollow of her neck. Her face had lost its full curves, her eye sockets sunken, her gaze like a candle in a dry well, dim and ready to go out at any moment. Her loose hospital gown seemed borrowed, hanging empty...

The whole person is like a thin paper lantern, swaying gently in the wind. If the wind is a little stronger, the already thin and brittle shell will be broken, and it will slowly but unstoppably shrivel up.

I inched my way to her bedside, my hand unconsciously caressing her skinny cheek. "That's good now. I don't have to post that 'I won't change my profile picture until I lose 10 pounds' thing on WeChat Moments anymore."

Sister Nannan twitched the corners of her mouth, revealing a soulless smile, "Linlin is still so humorous."

"Would you like some birthday cake?"

"What?" Sister Nan Nan was a little confused by my sudden question.

"Today is Aunt Wenjing's birthday, and my mom ordered a big cake for her. You and Aunt Wenjing have similar tastes in chocolate, so how about I bring you a piece?"

"Thank you, Lin Lin, but I have no appetite..."

"If you don't eat, I'll call my aunt, and Yu Mei and Yu Na. If you don't want to be hit by three consecutive blows..."

"I'll eat it! Good Linlin, please don't tell my mother and sister. I'm not afraid that they will worry. I don't want to commit suicide and be scared to death instead of being able to do it." Only when she mentioned her aunt and cousin, a lively look appeared on her face.

"Then don't let on. It's less than a week until Chinese New Year. If you don't want to be nagged, there's only one way: you eat whatever I bring."

Sister Nan Nan finally revealed a relieved smile: "Did your uncle and second aunt ask you to come and persuade me?"

I turned my head away, pretending to be disgusted. "If you want to live to see the end of that scumbag, eat more, sleep more, and keep your spirits up. Don't commit suicide for love before that scumbag gets his comeuppance."

Sister Nannan burst out laughing. "It's you who's always trying to provoke me. My uncle and aunt have been trying to persuade me for two days, and my aunt has been feeding me food but I can't eat it. How come you're making me hungry after saying that?"

I pulled out a Jianbing Guozi from my down jacket pocket like a magic trick. "I remember you said before that you loved this place, the double egg and spicy strips. Luckily, my down jacket is thick and keeps me warm quite well."

Sister Nannan's tears suddenly fell: "Where do you get such a meticulous mind to remember everyone's favorite food? I'm not your biological sister..."

"Lin Zhinan, do you believe I'd slap you right here?" What Ms. Lin hated most was hearing Sister Nannan say things like that. "You had the guts to follow my aunt, yet after all these years, you still feel like an outsider? Is blood relationship that important? If it were, would you follow your stepmother?"

"Lin Zhinan, if you keep saying that, I won't recognize you as my sister! Hurry and eat!" I turned on the TV in the ward, "No messy thoughts allowed! No changing channels! You can only watch this variety show! You won't get rich if you laugh!"

"Let's go, I'll bring you a cake."

After closing the door of the ward, I couldn't help but sniff. It was really hard not to cry.

Sister Nan Nan's sobbing and chewing sounds could be faintly heard in the ward.

Okay, as long as I can eat.

I heard from my uncle that since Sister Nannan was brought here, she has refused to eat or drink. Several elders have tried to persuade her but to no avail. They can only feel heartbroken.

"She's eaten, let's go." Ms. Lin and Aunt Wenjing were waiting outside the ward. They were so happy when they heard what I said.

"See, it's still Lin Lin who has the solution." Aunt Wenjing put her arm around my shoulders.
