Meng Yan's Transformation

Chapter 172 Hand-made noodles

Zhan Zi'an saw that the two elders had quieted down. He was afraid that if he stayed for too long, he would say too much and cause the two elders to quarrel again.

Zhan Zi'an did not accept the attempts of his second uncle Zhang Wei and second aunt Qian Jingui to keep him. He went home dejectedly without having lunch.

As soon as Zhan Zi'an returned to the Zhan family compound, Yunqing hurriedly came forward and asked, "Zi'an, are your second uncle and second aunt okay? Have you told your second uncle and second aunt about your sister Mengyan's matter? Do they agree to help plead for you?"

Zhan Zi'an walked into the outer room, scooped half a bucket of water from the large water tank with a ladle, drank it down with a "dong dong" sound, and said, "Mom, don't ask for now. You don't have to worry about Meng Yan's matter. I'll find time to talk to my eldest cousin Zhang Deren tomorrow."

Yunqing saw that Zhan Zi'an had lost the confident look he had when he went out that morning and had a somewhat depressed expression on his face, so she stepped forward and asked, "Zhan Zi'an, tell me the truth, did you run into a snag with your second aunt? She said that Mengyan was my Yunqing's child and she doesn't care about her? Mengyan was implicated by me again this time."

"Mom, I want to ask you something. Why did my second aunt say that Zhan Mengyan is not my biological sister, not your biological daughter? She said that she is the daughter of my dad's comrade-in-arms, born to a Mongolian woman." Zhan Zi'an looked at Yunqing with eager eyes and said.

Yunqing's body trembled, her eyes widened with anger, and she said angrily: "This Qian Jingui is really too much. She refused to help, and she spread rumors about how I, as a stepmother, was so harsh on my stepson, that's fine, but why did she also spread rumors about Mengyan's background! Zi'an, I tell you, no matter what happens, you must remember that Zhan Mengyan is your biological sister. Today I have to find this gossipy Qian Jingui and have a good talk with her."

Zhan Zi'an saw Yun Qing's furious look and said hurriedly, "Mom! Mom! Don't be angry, I just asked casually, I didn't really believe what my second aunt said. If I believed what she said, I wouldn't ask you and would ask my dad. I am now very sure that Meng Yan is my biological sister. Don't argue with my second aunt, because she said Meng Yan is not my biological sister. My second uncle almost beat her up. I just came back after persuading them to reconcile. I was so tired that my second aunt has a hot temper. After saying that I also regretted it. I told her about Mengyan's situation. She was worried that Mengyan's face would be pockmarked. She promised me to ask my eldest cousin to change Mengyan's seat. She is a typical "sharp tongue, soft heart". If you go to your second aunt to argue, the consequences will be serious. First, the change of Mengyan's seat will be cancelled, and Mengyan will be bullied in the future; second, your second aunt will think that I went home to gossip with you, causing conflicts; third, your second uncle and second aunt have just reconciled, and they will continue to quarrel because of this; fourth,..."

Yunqing saw Zhan Zi'an talking endlessly with anxiety, so she interrupted him and said, "Look how anxious you are. Mom was just saying something in anger, but you can't really argue with your second aunt. If you keep talking, your mouth will be dry and you will have to drink a bucket of water. Drinking too much water will make your stomach hurt. In ancient times, there was a torture that made people die by drinking too much water."

"Oh, mom, you know what, my stomach is rumbling with water, it's so bloated and uncomfortable." Zhan Zi'an pretended to have a stomachache and touched his stomach.

"As the saying goes: Speak of the devil and he will appear. Why do you get a stomachache when I say I have a stomachache?" Yunqing asked.

"I have to cooperate, Mom. Is your words working? Hehe..." Zhan Zi'an said with a smile.

"You can drink so much water, probably because you didn't have lunch at your second aunt's house. At noon today, mom will make hand-rolled noodles for you. By the way, since your second aunt has already agreed to ask your eldest cousin to plead for Mengyan, why do you still want to look for your eldest brother? Could it be that your second aunt didn't agree to plead for Mengyan with you, and you are lying to me?" Yunqing asked while kneading the dough.

"Mom, stop making random guesses. I'm talking to my cousin because I want to deepen our relationship. It will be good for Mengyan if we have a good relationship. I'm really hungry, and I'm craving the hand-rolled noodles you made."
