Ye Qingqing called the owner and ordered about ten dishes. Yin Feng kept saying, "That's enough, that's enough." Ye Qingqing ignored her and said to the owner after ordering, "Two girls will be going to pick them up in a bit. Please send someone to deliver them. I'll settle the payment later."

After hanging up the phone, Ye Qingqing said with a smile, "The food at this restaurant is pretty good. Let's just have something simple for lunch and not go out."

"So many dishes, it's too much of a waste," Yin Feng said embarrassedly.

"It's not much, please eat more."

Ye Qingqing smiled slightly, looked at Master Ye, and asked, "Mengjia must have been very cheerful before she got sick, right?"

"Yes, he used to be very cheerful and talkative. He was alright for the first two years after he got sick, but in the last two years he has become less and less talkative. He hardly speaks a few words a day and doesn't like to go out anymore. Sigh." Master Ye sighed heavily.

"Do you know why Mengjia's personality changed so drastically?"

The couple exchanged a puzzled look, and Yin Feng cautiously asked, "Is it because you're sick?"

Ye Qingqing nodded, then shook her head. "Not entirely. Actually, I just checked your daughter's ankylosing spondylitis, and it's not serious. You're panicking too much. Although ankylosing spondylitis is troublesome, it's not a venomous snake or a ferocious beast. It's not that scary. You must be thinking of it as a terminal illness, right?"

“But everyone says this is an incurable cancer, how can we not panic? Such a young child has this disease, I would rather have it myself.” Yin Feng’s voice choked with sobs. Unfortunately, the illness cannot be substituted. Her daily prayers were of no use. Moreover, she felt even more guilty for not being able to give her daughter a healthy body; it was all her fault.

Ye Qingqing took out a tissue and handed it to Yin Feng. "There is such a saying, but cancer can be cured now, so there is really no need to panic. In fact, there are quite a few people with ankylosing spondylitis in life. I specifically looked it up, and these people are living very well now. They have decent jobs, happy and fulfilling families, and are no different from normal people. Mengjia will be like that in the future too. You should have confidence."

"Are you really doing well?" The couple were not quite convinced.

The ankylosing spondylitis patients they encountered at the hospital were all frowning and sighing, saying that they had ruined their families and that it would be better to die than to live a good life. They were nothing like Ye Qingqing had described.

"Of course it's true. In fact, a good mindset and appropriate exercise are the best medicine. I found that Mengjia's physical health is relatively good, but her psychological problems are a bit troublesome. If she is not guided in time, she will develop depression, which is more terrible than cancer. In severe cases, it can even lead to suicide. That's why I decided to treat Mengjia's mind first. Once her mind is healthy, her body will naturally be healthy too."

"Depression? How could Mengjia have depression? How could a little girl like her have depression?"

Yin Feng found it unbelievable. She often took her daughter to the hospital for treatment, and sometimes she even had to be hospitalized. Having talked to her a lot, she understood depression and knew how terrible the disease was. Ye Qingqing's words were like a bolt from the blue, leaving the couple stunned.

They work themselves to the bone from morning till night to earn money, and they don't get depression despite all that pressure. How come a little girl like her gets depressed?

The couple really couldn't understand it.

Master Ye looked thoughtful and couldn't help but ask, "Miss Ye, is your refusal to accept payment for the medicine related to this?"

Ye Qingqing nodded, "That's right. The main reason for Mengjia's depression is that she feels like a burden to her family. Because of her illness, your family went from being a wealthy family in the village to a poor family in debt. She has a deep sense of guilt."
