Meng Yan's Transformation

After Wang Heihu gave Yuanbao a sedative, he soon calmed down and fell into a deep sleep...

Li Erfeng was about to look for Zhan Yingying and Zhan Mengyan when she saw Wang Jinhu coming back listlessly with Lulu who was without an arm, Simao who was without a leg, and Yinbao who was without feet.

"Sister-in-law, this is the money I begged today." Wang Jinhu said as he took the money out of his pocket and put it on the dining table.

Li Erfeng hurriedly pulled a chair and sat at the dining table, excitedly counting the money.

"It looks like a huge pile, but when you count them, there isn't much money. How come the money we begged today is 8 yuan less than yesterday? Tell me who was lazy today?" Li Erfeng glared at the three frightened children in front of her with her almond-shaped eyes and a fierce look on her face, and said viciously.

"Sister-in-law, from what I observed today, Yinbao worked harder. He lay on the wooden cart and kept shouting and begging whether there were people passing by or not. So he begged more money than others today." Wang Jinhu replied.

"I asked who was lazy and slack today, not who worked hard today. You have to punish first and then reward. Have you forgotten the rules?" Li Erfeng said angrily.

"Mom, I begged the least money today, but I didn't slack off. I had a high fever today, and my throat hurts, so it's hard for me to speak..." Lulu said timidly.

"You damn girl, every time you beg for less money, you always have a reason! Papa...papa..." Li Erfeng said as she angrily slapped Lulu several times.

Lulu was beaten so hard that blood came out of the corner of her mouth, but she didn't dare to cry out. She just stood trembling against the wall.

"Li Erfeng, you always hit her too hard. I see Lulu's face is redder than every day. She might have a high fever and a cold. If she is really sick, if you beat her harder, she won't be able to get up tomorrow. How can she go to the train station to beg? Besides, have you forgotten? We still have to introduce new friends to the children today." Wang Heihu walked in and said.

"Today I will forgive the three of you. I will not punish or reward you. I will let you have a good meal of pork stewed with vermicelli today." Li Erfeng said.

Lulu, Simao and Yinbao stared at Li Erfeng with puzzled eyes.

Li Erfeng looked at the three people's eyes that changed from fear to confusion, and said, "You don't have to look at me like that. I give you pork stewed with vermicelli under certain conditions. Today I want to introduce two new friends to you three. They are here to strengthen our begging team. One is Yingying, 8 years old, and the other is Mengyan, 7 years old. Simao and Yinbao, you two can call them sisters, and Lulu, you can call them sisters. Tomorrow, Yingying and Mengyan will take you to the train station to sell handicrafts and beg at the same time. If any of you dare to say bad things about 'Dad' and 'Mom' to Yingying and Mengyan, be careful or I will peel off your skin and pull out your tendons!"

"Lulu, if Yingying and Mengyan ask you how you lost your arm, how will you answer?" Wang Heihu asked.

Lulu was still looking at Li Erfeng in horror, not yet coming to her senses.

Seeing that Lulu didn't answer immediately, Li Erfeng reached out and grabbed Lulu's ear and said, "Your 'dad' is asking you a question, you little bitch, hurry up and answer!"

"When my brother Yuanbao went crazy, I was caught by him accidentally. He bit off the flesh of my arm and broke my arm. After the wound became infected, the doctor sawed off the necrotic arm to prevent further infection... Mom, please spare me, let go of my hand, my ear is going to be pulled off..." Lulu said with a grimace in pain.

"You little girl, if you're not punished for three days you'll climb up the roof and tear off the tiles. Even if I don't hurt you, you're still so slow and stupid!" Li Erfeng said as she let go of the hand that was pulling Lulu's ear.

"Simao, Yinbao, if Yingying and Mengyan ask you how you lost your legs and feet, how will you answer?" Wang Heihu asked.

"Dad, Mom took me out for a trip and we were killed in a car accident!" Simao and Yinbao answered quickly in unison.

"Okay! Erfeng, serve the pork stewed with vermicelli! Let's eat." Wang Heihu said as he sat down at the dining table with his younger brother Wang Jinhu.
