Meng Yan's Transformation

Yingying lives with her uncle in Dandong, Liaoning Province. She goes up the mountain every day to pick wild fruits and vegetables and has a lot of fun. Her uncle is afraid that Yingying will play around and neglect her studies, so he plans to send her to school. Yingying has already dropped out of school in Heilongjiang Province, so she can't keep up with the learning progress of children of the same age. Therefore, Yingying is unwilling to go to school. However, her uncle Yunxuan and her aunt Wang Yawen force Yingying to go to school.

"Yingying, you don't go to school every day. You run around all over the mountains all day long. We can't even find you when we eat. Aren't you a wild child? Your family can't afford to send you to school in Heilongjiang. Now you have to go to school when we return to Dandong, Liaoning!" Uncle Yunxuan shouted at Yingying.

"Yes, Yingying, you are a little girl. You should go to school to learn cultural knowledge and be a cultured, civilized and polite girl. Look, you go to the mountain every day to pick wild fruits and vegetables with those wild children who don't go to school. You have become a tomboy. Can you make a name for yourself and become a useful person in society when you grow up? Girls who are not allowed to study will become uglier and uglier!" Aunt Wang Yawen echoed.

Yingying lowered her head, tears falling onto her dirty little white shoes...

"The tomboy is crying! Mom, look, the tomboy is crying!" Yun Yuanxi shouted with glee when she saw Yingying crying.

"Get out of here! You are not allowed to give Sister Yingying a nickname!" Wang Yawen scolded Yun Yuanxi and slapped him on the butt. Yun Yuanxi made a face at Yingying and ran away quickly.

"It was you who said Yingying became a 'tomboy' just now. I learned it from you!" Yun Yuanxi said to Wang Yawen while running.

A few days later, the uncle asked someone to find a connection. Yingying was sent to Dandong Yucai Hope Primary School by her uncle, and was arranged to be in the same class with Yunyuanxi and Yunyexi. The uncle Yunxuan was afraid that Yingying would not adapt to the new school environment, so he hoped that his two sons would take good care of Yingying in school, and also help Yingying with her missed lessons. He hoped that Yingying would like going to school and become a quiet and obedient girl who loves to study.

One day, during the physical education class, the physical education teacher gave the students a 100-meter run test, and Yingying won first place. The physical education teacher praised Yingying.

Zhan Yingying's excellent sports performance made her classmates look at the new and somewhat "rustic" Zhan Yingying with new eyes.

During lunch break, the students whispered in private: "Zhan Yingying is not very good at studying, but she is really fast in the 100-meter run! The teacher said this is a record! It's amazing!" "I heard that Zhan Yingying is the sister of Yun Yuanxi and Yun Yexi, but I don't know why Yun Yuanxi doesn't admit that she is his sister..."

"Yuanxi, Zhan Yingying, the new girl in our class, I heard from Yun Yexi that she is your sister. When did you have a sister?" Yun Yuanxi's classmate Wang Haotian asked Yun Yuanxi.

"Zhan Yingying is not my sister! She is a wild child my father picked up from the countryside, nicknamed 'tomboy'!..." Yun Yuanxi replied.

When Yun Yuanxi was talking excitedly, Zhan Yingying was standing behind him.

"Yun Yuanxi, who did you just say was the wild child, the 'tomboy'?" Zhan Yingying asked, staring at Yun Yuanxi.

"Who I say is it any of your business? I can call whoever I want to call!" Yun Yuanxi said with his face raised and his neck stretched.

"Yuan Xi, didn't you just say that Zhan Yingying is a wild child picked up by your father, a tomboy? Why are you afraid of Zhan Yingying? Don't you dare to say it?" Wang Haotian said sarcastically.

"I'm not afraid of Zhan Yingying. She is just a wild child picked up by my father, a tomboy!" Yun Yuanxi said loudly on purpose.

"Try to say it again! Do you believe that my fists are not vegetarian?" Zhan Yingying said to Yun Yuanxi with anger in her eyes.

"You...you dare...to hit me...just try that, and I will say...I will say that Zhan Yingying...is a wild child, a tomboy, and you, you country bumpkin, go back to your hometown in Heilongjiang..." Yun Yuanxi said as she ran forward desperately.

Zhan Yingying ran up to him at a lightning speed. She suddenly lunged forward, and the huge inertia knocked Yun Yuanxi to the ground. Zhan Yingying rode on Yun Yuanxi and punched him on the left side of his face, and then on the right side. After a few punches, Yun Yuanxi's nose was bleeding...

The head teacher sent Yun Yuanxi to the primary school doctor's office and called Zhan Yingying to the office for criticism and education...

No matter how the head teacher tried to persuade Zhan Yingying to apologize to Yun Yuanxi, Zhan Yingying refused to do so. The head teacher was so angry that he made her stand in the corridor.

The head teacher called the parents Yunxuan and Wang Yawen.

Uncle Yunxuan and uncle Wang Yawen brought their son Yunyuanxi and niece Zhanying home and asked them why they had fought.

"Wang Haotian asked: Am I, Zhan Yingying, my sister? I disliked her for not studying well and did not admit that Zhan Yingying was my sister. When she heard it, she came up and beat me!" Yun Yuanxi said.

"It was because Yun Yuanxi said in front of my classmates that I was a wild child picked up by my uncle and called me a 'tomboy' and a country bumpkin...that's why I hit him..." Zhan Yingying said.

"Just because I say you're a wild child, a tomboy, and a bumpkin, you can beat your brother until he's black and blue and has a nosebleed?!" Uncle Yunxuan and Aunt Wang Yawen said in unison.

Zhan Yingying opened her eyes wide in surprise, puzzled - Uncle, did aunt and I agree to say this together?

"You are the one who hit your brother with that hand? Stretch out your hand!" said Aunt Wang Yawen, picking up a feather duster and slapping Zhan Yingying's palm hard.

"Okay, okay, just hit her twice to scare her!" Uncle Yunxuan said with reluctance as he looked at Zhan Yingying's red palms.

"You only know how to pamper her! She refuses to listen when you say she is a wild child. How can a girl be so rude and hit others?! If not a wild child, what is she?" Aunt Wang Yawen said angrily.

"Yingying, look how angry you made your aunt! Hurry up and apologize to your brother and aunt, and say: I'm sorry!" Uncle Yunxuan said to Zhan Yingying.

Zhan Yingying opened her eyes and looked at her uncle without saying a word of apology.

"You don't want to apologize, right? Then just stand facing the wall! This is called facing the wall and reflecting on your mistakes! When you figure out where you went wrong and know how to apologize to your brother and aunt, you tell me!" Uncle Yunxuan said to Zhan Yingying.

It was late at night. Uncle Yunxuan and aunt Wang Yawen could no longer hold on and finally fell asleep with the children. Only Zhan Yingying was still standing stubbornly facing the wall, refusing to apologize. The moon had risen outside the window, and the miserable moonlight shone on the window, casting a white light on the window... Yingying shed tears of missing her mother, and also merged into the white light under her feet...

In the dim light, Yingying seemed to see her mother’s gentle smile and heard her mother calling softly: “My children, please come back to me soon. I miss you… I miss you so much… I miss you…”
