Ye Mengjia opened up and became much more talkative. "Our family used to be the richest in the village, but now we're in debt. Many relatives don't associate with us anymore, afraid that my parents will borrow money. I... I don't really want to get treatment anymore. Those medicines cost several thousand yuan a month, and they still can't cure my illness. My parents and brother are still living such a hard life. It's all my fault that they're suffering..."
The little girl spoke while tears streamed down her face. She truly wished she had a deathly illness, not this strange disease that required money to prolong life. Seeing her parents' backs getting more and more hunched over the years, she really wanted to die, but she didn't have the courage to commit suicide. She felt so useless.
Ye Mengjia said a lot, and many of her words were repeated. The general idea was that she felt she was a burden to her family and even wanted to die. These are very bad thoughts and early symptoms of depression. If she is not counseled in time, her condition will become more and more serious and more terrible than ankylosing spondylitis.
But it also shows that Ye Mengjia is a very sensible child. It is precisely because she is so sensible that she has such a heavy psychological burden.
Ye Qingqing took out another pack of tissues and handed it to him. “Wipe your tears. Crying will make you feel better. I understand what you mean and I am very sympathetic. But have you ever thought about how much your parents and brother love you? They don’t see you as a burden at all. They only want to cure you. Even if they suffer a little for the time being, it doesn’t matter. As long as you are well, they will be happy to do so.”
"But I feel bad inside. I want them to have a good life."
"Then you should cheer up, eat well, and exercise more. Actually, your ankylosing spondylitis isn't that serious. On the contrary, your picky eating and sadness are making your body worse. If you don't adjust your mindset, your body will get worse and worse, and you might even die. You won't even have the chance to repay your parents. How can you let them live a good life?" Ye Qingqing's tone became stern.
Ye Mengjia's expression changed drastically. Ye Qingqing's words had woken her up. If she died, she would never have the chance to repay her parents.
"If I were you, I would take good care of my health. I know many people with ankylosing spondylitis, and they all live very well. They study, work, and make friends normally, and they are all very successful. Their families also live very well. I think you should learn from them, take good care of your health, study hard, and strive to get into a good university. When you are successful in the future, your parents can live a good life. Do you think what I said is right?"
Ye Mengjia looked thoughtful. This girl was too burdened with worries, and of course, she couldn't possibly let go of them just because of Ye Qingqing's few words, but they were still helpful.
Ye Qingqing thought for a moment and asked, "Let's change our perspective. If you were grown up and able to earn money, and your parents had a very expensive illness, would you be willing to go bankrupt to treat them?"
"Of course I'm willing!" Ye Mengjia answered without hesitation.
"Even if you have to pay off the debt for many years, are you willing?"
"Of course, I'd be willing to go to hell even if it meant going to hell," Ye Mengjia said resolutely.
"Why?"
"Because they are my parents." Ye Mengjia found Ye Qingqing's question strange; why would she need to ask why?
Ye Qingqing smiled, "Now you understand your parents' hearts, right? Their thoughts are the same as yours. Even if it means going to hell, they would do everything in their power to save you, because you are their daughter, and they love you!"
