Meng Yan's Transformation

Chapter 495: Aftereffects of Shock

Zhan Zixun and Zhan Mengyan tiptoed to the kitchen and looked into the house through the crack in the door.

Zhan Yu's face was ashen, and he clutched his waist, pacing anxiously on the ground. His hands clenched into fists, veins bulging on his forehead, and he paced back and forth like an ant on a hot pan. He glanced at the clock on the wall from time to time, unconsciously tapping the ground with his toes, muttering to himself, "How can I open Ai Jinhua's locked drawer? I must open this drawer..."

Yunqing sat on the edge of the kang, slowly mending her clothes. She twisted a strand of silk thread, examining it in the sunlight. The silver needle moved between her fingers like a fluttering butterfly. The tear gradually healed under her hand, and a butterfly flower blossomed on Zhan Mengyan's red cotton jacket. She looked up at the anxious Zhan Yu, smiled faintly, and returned to her needlework.

"Yunqing, stop mending. Look how anxious I am, and you're still here mending clothes carelessly. You have such a broad mind! Please help me think of a solution!"

As Zhan Yu spoke, he snatched the clothes from Yun Qing's hands.

"Zhan Yu, you don't even remember how much you've suffered because of your impatience, do you? When people are anxious and impulsive, more than 90% of the decisions they make are wrong. Sit down on a chair and rest your feet, relax a little. When you calm down, a good idea will naturally come to you."

As Yunqing spoke, she gently and considerately pulled Zhanyu to sit down. Her fingers gently combed through the tense lines of Zhanyu's shoulders and neck, as patiently as combing the strings of a guitar.

"Zhan Yu, don't overwork yourself. Even if you're a superman, you still need to recharge. You left without breakfast this morning, and your brain is severely lacking in nutrition, so you can't come up with a good solution. Eat first. While you're eating, I'll help you think of a solution. I promise I'll find a good solution to the problem."

While Yunqing was talking, she went to the kitchen to get the food that was warm in the pot.

As Yunqing went out, she ran into Zhan Mengyan and Zhan Zixun.

"What are you two doing in the kitchen instead of going inside? Did Zhan Mengyan find your Uncle Dong at the supply and marketing cooperative? Did you successfully get the peanuts you needed to peel?"

As Yunqing spoke, she took the food out of the pot.

"We heard Dad yelling, and through the crack in the door we saw his face was very ugly and angry, so we didn't dare to go into the house. We got the peanuts and put them in the yard!"

As Zhan Mengyan spoke, she looked at Yunqing timidly.

"Xiao Mengyan, Zhan Zixun, I heard your voices. What are you two doing sneaking around in the kitchen? Come inside quickly. Why are you hiding from me? You're not a tiger, and I'm not going to eat you two."

Zhan Yu's tone was stern when he spoke.

"You're in a bad mood, don't take it out on the children! They've been looking forward to you coming back, but you've scared them like mice seeing a cat. How can you be a good father? Can't you be a little gentler with your children? When Zhan Zixun was little, you came home from get off work and he made a lot of "little cookies" on the door with mud to show you his handiwork. But you thought he had made the door dirty, so you took the mud cookies off the door and stuffed them into Zhan Zixun's mouth, nearly choking him to death. I was so scared that I hurriedly rinsed Zhan Zixun's mouth with clean water, but he was so scared that he didn't even know to spit out the dirty water. He just gulped it down with mud and water. Since then, Zhan Zixun has never been close to you again and hides when he sees you. You scared these two children so much that they have sequelae. Do they look like your own children?"

As Yunqing spoke, she placed the food and dishes on the round table in front of Zhanyu.
