Meng Yan's Transformation

Dong Hanmei ate very little for dinner.

Although the food in front of Dong Hanmei looked delicious, when she bit into it, it did not bring any satisfaction or pleasure to her tongue, but only a waxy texture, as if she had entered a tasteless world. The delicacies on the table did not arouse her interest. She felt an inexplicable sense of loss and pain in her heart, and a faint sadness filled her eyes. She just tried to chew and swallow mechanically, and did not enjoy the meal very much.

The delicacies lost their color and the taste buds were dulled. Dong Hanmei was so worried during the meal that the worry left her brows but returned to her mind.

"Hanmei, you've lost weight these past few days. Second sister, second brother-in-law has made so many delicious dishes. You should at least give me some face and eat more. Your body needs to be nourished!"

While Zhan Mengyan was speaking, she put a piece of red, shiny, trembling braised pork into Dong Hanmei's bowl.

"Zhan Mengyan, I really can't eat anymore... Today is the meal that my second sister and second brother-in-law specially prepared for you, please eat more for me..."

As Dong Hanmei spoke, she smiled bitterly and put the braised pork into Zhan Mengyan's bowl.

"I can't eat anymore. I ate too much today. I'm full. If I eat any more, my stomach will burst!"

While Zhan Mengyan was speaking, she put the braised pork back into the bowl.

"Sister Mengyan, you don't have to let Dong Hanmei eat. Fortunately, you came today and she ate something. Otherwise, Dong Hanmei wouldn't eat a single bite, as if she had a grudge against food. I was so worried..."

When Dong Hanmei's second sister said this, she looked sad.

"If you don't eat it, I will. This braised pork is so delicious, very springy, sweet and tasty. As the saying goes, 'This taste is only found in heaven, and it's hard to come by in the world'!"

While Dong Hanmei's little nephew Tongtong was talking, he put a piece of braised pork into his mouth and ate it with relish.

"You ate a lot today, kid. Be careful not to overeat! Indigestion! I asked you to write an essay, but you couldn't write a single sentence after a long time. But today, eating braised pork made you speak fluently! You only know how to eat. Why don't you pick up some food for the guests and your aunt? You are so rude!"

While Dong Hanmei's second sister was speaking, she lovingly wiped the oil stains from the corners of her son's mouth.

"What kind of guest am I? You are too polite, second sister. I can't eat the food you picked for me. I can't let my nephew pick food for me anymore. Little boys are very active, so eating more braised pork will give them strength. Besides, braised pork can inspire my nephew's creative inspiration. If Tongtong can't write a good composition in the future, I will make braised pork for him. Once inspiration is stimulated, I guarantee that Tongtong will write a good article."

While Zhan Mengyan was talking, she picked up another piece of braised pork for Tongtong.

"Thank you, Aunt Mengyan! I agree with your idea!"

While Tongtong was talking, he took another piece of braised pork.

After dinner, Dong Hanmei returned to her own little house, and Zhan Mengyan helped Dong Hanmei's second sister clean up the dishes.

In the kitchen, Dong Hanmei's second sister held Zhan Mengyan's hand and opened her mouth to say something, but didn't. She looked at Dong Hanmei's room and saw that the door was closed.

Dong Hanmei's second sister tiptoed to the door of Dong Hanmei's room and put her ear to the door to listen. Then she tiptoed back to Zhan Mengyan and put her mouth close to her ear.

"Sister Mengyan, I noticed that Dong Hanmei has been acting strange these past few days. She is in a low mood and often stares blankly by herself. She has nightmares when she sleeps and sweats profusely... Can you tell me if something terrible happened to her at school?"

When Dong Hanmei's second sister spoke, her voice was low and filled with a pleading tone.

"Second sister..."

Zhan Mengyan was about to speak when she saw Dong Hanmei standing opposite her, staring at her.

"Second sister, it's nothing. Dong Hanmei called me."

As Zhan Mengyan spoke, she walked towards Dong Hanmei.

"Dong Hanmei is in her own room. When did she call you?"

When Dong Hanmei's second sister was speaking, she turned around and saw Dong Hanmei waving to Zhan Mengyan.
