as already thinning, giving him a feeling of late bloom. However, his pair of eyes were exceptionally bright, making anyone who met his gaze feel as if their soul was being probed by a dangerous illus...Looking at Shanshan's back, Aunt Zheng sighed and said, "This girl is getting more and more disobedient. She doesn't even know to ask Xiaofan to sit down."

Ye Fan smiled and said, "Aunt Zheng, Shanshan is still young, so there's no need to have such high expectations for her. Besides, I think she's quite obedient and well-behaved. You should feel fortunate."

In Ye Fan's impression, Shan Shan was always a pure and sensible girl.

Aunt Zheng sighed and pulled Ye Fan down to sit beside her. "This poor child, ShanShan. Her father passed away early, and I haven't had much time to look after her. Thankfully, she's quite sensible and does well in school, both academically and socially. She just doesn't like talking to people and is too timid."

When it got to this point, Auntie Zheng suddenly coughed violently. Ye Fan hurriedly patted her back. At this time, Shanshan also came over with tea, handing a cup to Ye Fan and helping her mother massage her back, constantly saying: "Mom, you should take medicine."

Ye Fan exclaimed, "Auntie Zheng, how did you get sick What's wrong with you Is it serious I'll ask Sister Yanran to give you a few days off."

After being kneaded by Xian Shan's hands for a while, Zheng Yi felt much better. She waved her hand and said, "It's alright, Xiao Fan. Thank you for your kindness. Miss is so kind to me, and she even lets Xian Shan come in and out freely. I am already very grateful. How could I slack off I'm fine..." But before she could say a few more words, she coughed again.

Ye Fan frowned, supporting Zheng Yi and walking outside, "We can't drag this out any longer. Come on, let's go to the hospital."

Aunt Zheng tried to decline, saying that going to the hospital would cost a lot of money and she needed to save for Shanshan's university tuition. However, Ye Fan stopped her, saying that one can't ignore illness just because of money. He reassured Aunt Zheng not to worry about the finances, but she remained quite uneasy.

After a series of complicated examinations at the hospital, Zheng Yi's condition was finally confirmed. It turned out she had pulmonary tuberculosis, but fortunately, it was detected early and was relatively mild. The treatment was also relatively simple. If she receives good care, she should not be affected in the future.

The doctor told Ye Fan that Aunt Zheng's lung illness was caused by overwork and exhaustion. In the future, he should pay close attention to getting enough rest.

Aunt Zheng said she knew about it early and was eager to go home, but Ye Fan waved his hand and directly gave her three months of leave. He even forcefully arranged for her admission, handling both the paperwork and paying the fees. What else could Aunt Zheng say If she didn't stay, she would be letting Xiao Fan down for his kindness.

She could only swallow her tears, thinking silently in her heart that when she got better, she would definitely go back and cook delicious meals for the young master and mistress.

Lying in the hospital bed, Aunt Zheng held onto Ye Fan's hand and said with tears in her eyes, "Xiao Fan, thank you. Auntie will definitely pay you back..."

Ye Fan hurriedly stopped her, knowing Aunt Zheng's hardships. She probably couldn't bear to spend money on medical treatment, which is why she developed this chronic illness. He absolutely wouldn't ask for her money, and besides, this amount of money didn't mean much to Ye Fan at all.

However, Ye Fan knew that Aunt Zheng was a country person, and country people valued honesty the most. If you took her money without repaying it, she would probably feel uneasy about it throughout the entire village.

Ye Fan thought of a compromise, saying: "Auntie Zheng, you don't have to worry too much. I still have some money on hand now. You don't have to rush to repay the loan. Besides, you still need to keep some money for Shanshan to go to college. How could you spend it easily Why don't we wait until after Shanshan gets a job and then repay me What do you think"

By the time Shanshan finishes her university work, it will be several years later. By then, I probably won't be in Liming anymore

Shan Shan sat on the side, staring blankly at Ye Gege, her head bowed, not saying a word. However, her heart was warm at this moment.

Auntie Zheng was moved once again, "Xiaofan... this... how did you make me... call you... how should I put it..."

Seeing Zheng Yi like this, Ye Fan knew she must be feeling guilty. He knew that even after Shanshan started working, no matter how hard her work was, they would definitely pay back the money. This was the simplicity of rural people.

However, he knew it wasn't the right time to continue discussing this, or else Auntie Zheng, with her sentimental nature, would surely be shedding tears like rain.

Ye Fan could only change the subject and said, "By the way, is school off today Why isn't Shanshan at school"

Who knew, after hearing this, Aunt Zheng, who was originally a bit out of control emotionally, suddenly sighed and once again had a look of worry on her face.

Ye Fan keenly grasped something. Could it be that Shanshan was having difficulties today, which is why she came to find her mother

Ye Fan looked at Shanshan and said, “Shanshan, do you have any difficulties Tell Ye Gege, Ye Gege will definitely help you.”

Shanshan's face was flushed, she just lowered her head, tugging at the corner of her clothes, not saying a word.

Oh, this child is too introverted...

Aunt Zheng sighed helplessly: “It’s nothing really. Shanshan is about to take the college entrance exam, and before a big exam like that, the whole senior year at her school has a parent-teacher meeting. Through communication between teachers and parents, they make a study plan tailored to each student… It’s all normal, but with my current health… Ah…”

After hearing this, Shanshan also looked worried. This parent-teacher conference was very important, and it even directly affected whether she could get into university.

Recently, she always felt overwhelmed with stress. She often had inexplicable panic attacks and didn't want to talk to anyone. She knew that she was probably suffering from pre-exam anxiety.

This time, there is a targeted guidance program, which is designed with students' psychological needs in mind. Shanshan feels she really needs such a guidance program.

Ye Fan patted his chest after hearing this, and said confidently: "I thought it was a big problem. Don't worry, I'll take care of it! I'll go to the meeting as Shan Shan's guardian."

Aunt Zheng was stunned after hearing Ye Fan's words, her face showing a confused expression. Ye Fan quickly said, "Oh, don't get me wrong. I mean, I'm going to the parent-teacher meeting as Brother Shanshan. I'll communicate with his teacher. Right, parent-teacher meetings shouldn't necessarily require parents to attend, should they Aunt Zheng, what do you think"

"Would that be alright But... wouldn't it take up Xiao Fan's time..." Aunt Zheng was still a little hesitant.

But Ye Fan had already seen the sparkle in Shanshan's eyes, so he smiled and said, "Aunt Zheng, you can rest assured. I have plenty of time, and besides, I'm a veteran too. I can speak from experience and know what Shanshan needs most right now. Don't believe me Ask Shanshan yourself, isn't that right"

Shanshan nodded to her mother, and Zheng Yi had no choice but to say: “Well then, thank you so much, I’ve troubled you again. Auntie really feels bad about this…”

Seeing her arrive again, Ye Fan had no choice but to change the subject: "Aunt Zheng, where is Sister Yanran Why isn't she at home today I was thinking of giving her a surprise!"

Hearing from Sister Yanran, Auntie Zheng finally had a smile on her face and said: "Miss is still busy at the company. Recently, it seems that the company has expanded quite a bit. I heard that many new departments have been established, and she hasn't been home for several days!"c.This is also the hardest part to sing in the whole song.
