Chapter 197 After being rescued
Zhan Mengyan was taken home, and Zhang Bao had been taken home by Zhang Xinzhong to sober up.
Zhan Yu and Yun Qing saw Zhan Mengyan's empty eyes and pale face, as if she had lost all vitality and color of life, like a corpse losing blood... The two looked at each other in shock.
Yunqing was stunned with shock, as if she had lost her voice and was numb. She could not speak and had no strength left.
After a while, Zhan Yu shook his head and said, "Meng Yan was fine when she ran away. How did you two bring her back? How did she become like this? What happened?"
"Mengyan, Mengyan, look at your mother, talk to your mother, what's wrong with you? What's wrong with you?" Yunqing cried and shook Zhan Mengyan's shoulders.
No matter how Yun Qing called out, Zhan Mengyan's eyes remained empty, without a trace of light or vitality, as if all her energy had been taken away by death.
"Yunqing, stop shouting. Mengyan seems to be unable to hear anything. Her soul seems to have gone to another world. Her pulse is intermittent and her hands and feet are cold. Let's put Mengyan on the kang first, cover her with a quilt, and let her rest quietly and have some sleep. Let's ask Yingying and Xincheng what happened when they caught up with Mengyan." Zhan Yu said while taking Zhan Mengyan's pulse.
Several people put Zhan Mengyan down. Zhan Mengyan lay on the kang with her eyes wide open, not feeling sleepy at all.
Zhan Yingying told Zhan Yu and Yunqing how Zhan Mengyan jumped into the well to commit suicide and how she was rescued.
After hearing this, Yun Qing's tears slid down her cheeks. She lay on the kang, her whole body twitching. She let out suppressed, painful sighs, as if they were drawn out from the depths of her soul with difficulty, spreading throughout the room, weaving a dark gray picture of sadness. The light that had just been turned on also became dim and faint...
Zhan Yu saw a deep sense of guilt in Zhang Xincheng's eyes, and he stared at Zhan Mengyan's face, as if he wanted to ask for forgiveness and hoped to get a chance to be forgiven.
Zhan Yu walked up to Zhang Xincheng, patted him on the shoulder and said, "Xincheng, I have to thank you for catching up with Mengyan in time today. Otherwise, Zhan Yingying alone would not be able to pull Zhan Mengyan's body out of the well. You are her savior. Go home and have a good rest. Don't delay going to school tomorrow. The study workload in high school is heavy, and cultural courses cannot be delayed."
"Zhang Xincheng, my father said thank you, but I don't thank you. I hate your father. Go home and talk to your father. He is really disrespectful to his elders. If Mengyan really jumped into the well and drowned today, I would go to your father and make him pay for Mengyan's life..." Zhan Yingying said to Zhang Xincheng with her eyes wide open.
"Zhan Yingying, shut up now. Zhan Mengyan is narrow-minded. You can't scold or hit your elders? She is so depressed and wants to die. What are you yelling at Xiang Xincheng for? If you keep talking nonsense, I will beat you too." Zhan Yu stopped her.
Zhang Xincheng said with a flushed face, "For what happened today, I should apologize to Sister Mengyan on behalf of my father. I saved Sister Mengyan to atone for my father's sins. How can you say that I am Mengyan's savior? This is called the son paying for the father's debt. Now Sister Mengyan seems to be unable to hear others. I would like to solemnly say to Uncle Zhan, Aunt Yunqing, Sister Yingying and your whole family: I'm sorry..." Zhang Xincheng said as he bowed to the four of them one by one to apologize.
Zhan Yu hurried forward to support Zhang Xincheng and said, "Xincheng, you are too kind, kid. You are so sensible and understanding, which makes people feel distressed. It is said that if a son is not well educated, it is the fault of his father. How did your father educate you to be so sensible? The son does not need to take the blame for the father's fault. This is not the ancient saying of punishing the entire clan. Besides, your father was just drunk today. He was not in a clear mind. He himself did not know what he said or did. When he sobers up tomorrow, you ask him and he will not remember anything. So don't talk about your father, lest he be embarrassed when he sees your aunt Yunqing and Mengyan again. Let's stop with this matter and no one should mention it again. Go home quickly. You are tired and scared today. It's too hard."
"Uncle Zhan, if you accept my apology, please let me stay. I want to see Sister Mengyan wake up and get better before I leave. Otherwise, I will be worried about her when I go home." Zhang Xincheng pleaded.
"Xincheng, don't worry. Mengyan is under the care of your aunt and I. She will be fine. She will be full of energy after a good sleep. When you go to school tomorrow, don't tell Zhan Zixun about Zhan Mengyan's suicide. Let him study with peace of mind. You must go home quickly, otherwise your father, who is still drunk and can't see you, will come to my house to find you and make a fuss." Zhan Yu persuaded.
"What's the matter? Zhan Laosi, you are holding my second son back and not letting him go home. What are you thinking? Do you want to find a son-in-law for your daughter?..." Zhang Bao's cursing voice was heard.
When Zhang Xincheng heard his father's voice, he rushed out of the house and saw his elder brother Zhang Xinzhong supporting the unsteady Zhang Bao.
"Brother, why did you bring dad back? Aren't you just causing more trouble?" Zhang Xincheng said viciously, holding Zhang Bao and walking back.
"If I don't bring dad to find you, he will make a fuss and vomit all over mom. When he can't find you, he even beats mom. I really can't stand it anymore, so I brought him to find you. I haven't said anything to you yet. Why don't you go home to help me take care of your drunk dad? Why do you stay at Old Zhan's house forever?" Zhang Xinzhong said.
"Let's take Dad home quickly. I'll tell you when we get home. Dad got into trouble today. Something big happened..." Zhang Xincheng said in a low voice.
