Chapter 406 Dong Hanmei is going to drop out of school
After the memorial service for teacher Dong Lamei, Zhan Mengyan waited for Dong Hanmei’s second sister Dong Chunmei at the entrance of the school auditorium.
"Sister Mengyan, why haven't you gone home to rest yet?!"
When Dong Chunmei spoke, her voice was hoarse and her eyes were red.
"Second sister, please accept my condolences... I... don't know how to comfort you... I... I want to ask how Dong Hanmei's treatment is going? I am very worried about her..."
As Zhan Mengyan spoke, she couldn't help but shed tears.
"Don't cry! You asked me to mourn, but you cried! It seems that you really don't know how to comfort others! Sister Mengyan, thank you for your concern for sister Hanmei. The doctors at Kangjing Hospital have made a comprehensive understanding, analysis and research on sister Hanmei's condition. The doctor said that the treatment of sister Hanmei is very certain. I believe that she will recover in the near future. You don't have to worry too much about sister Hanmei... You have lost a lot of weight these days. You can move to your second sister's house that day. Second sister will make delicious food for you every day to replenish your nutrition. The final exam is coming soon, you have to work hard."
While Dong Chunmei was speaking, she gently stroked Zhan Mengyan's head with her hand.
"I'm living well at my third cousin's house. Thank you, second sister. I don't need any supplements. I'm in great shape! Leave the delicious food for Hanmei. She's a patient and needs to be well nourished. When will you go to the hospital to take care of Hanmei? Can you take me with you?"
As Zhan Mengyan spoke, she looked at Dong Chunmei with expectant eyes.
"Sister Mengyan, Kangning Hospital is different from our county hospital. It is under closed management. Nurses will take care of patients, and family members do not need to accompany them. But there are fixed visiting hours, which are every Wednesday. You happen to have classes on Wednesdays, and you can't delay your studies any longer. After your final exams are over and you have winter vacation, I will take you to Kangjing Hospital to see Sister Hanmei. You must be cold, so I'll give you my scarf, and we can talk while walking."
While Dong Chunmei was talking, she pulled up Zhan Mengyan's collar and put her own scarf on her.
"Second sister, I don't need it. I'll be warm after running a few steps."
Zhan Mengyan took off her scarf while speaking.
"Don't take it off. It's cold these days. Keep it wrapped around you!"
While Dong Chunmei was speaking, she forced the scarf around Zhan Mengyan again.
"Then borrow it for a few days, and I'll return it to you before winter break!"
Zhan Mengyan couldn't refuse the kindness and had to stop refusing to Dong Chunmei.
"You kid, you're always being distant with me..."
While Dong Chunmei was speaking, she affectionately touched Zhan Mengyan's forehead with her hand.
"Second sister, didn't you say that Kangjing Hospital is very confident in treating Hanmei? Why can't Hanmei take the final exam with me? Why can't she go back to school before the winter vacation?"
Zhan Mengyan asked in confusion.
"As the saying goes: Illness comes like a mountain falling, and goes like pulling a thread. How can it be cured in such a short time? I have just applied to your head teacher for Dong Hanmei to take a leave of absence. Sister Hanmei can't go to school this semester. In addition to her poor mental state, her physical health is not good either. She needs a certain amount of time to treat and regulate. Her illness is very strange, and my eldest sister passed away at the same time, which was a big blow to her... Second sister has an uninvited request. I always feel that Dong Hanmei has been stimulated or bullied in school. Second sister would like to ask you to tell me who Dong Hanmei has met in school recently? What grievances have she suffered..."
Dong Chunmei spoke more and more earnestly. She stared at Zhan Mengyan with bloodshot eyes and held her hands tightly with both hands.
Zhan Mengyan's hand was sore from being held by Dong Chunmei. She grinned and said, "Second sister, you hurt me..."
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry... Did my second sister scare you?"
Dong Chunmei apologized repeatedly and let go of her hand. When she saw Zhan Mengyan's timid look, she also realized that she had lost her composure.
Dong Chunmei rubbed her red and swollen eyes with her hands, and tears flowed out...
