Meng Yan's Transformation

Zhan Mengyan returned home with a look of grievance on her face.

"Mengyan, are you tired from the exam?" Yunqing asked with concern when she saw Zhan Mengyan looking unhappy.

"Sister Mengyan, did you encounter anything unhappy at school?" Zhan Yingying asked with concern.

"Nothing. I was a little nervous about the exam today and now I feel a little tired." Zhan Mengyan replied.

Zhan Yingying patted Zhan Mengyan on the shoulder and said doubtfully, "Sister Mengyan, you promised me that you would not hide anything from me. Besides, no matter what unhappy things you have, it is better to speak them out than to keep them in your heart."

"Really, it's nothing. Sister Yingying, you go ahead and do your work. I'm going to study." Zhan Mengyan said perfunctorily.

When Zhan Yingying saw the solemn expression on Zhan Mengyan's face after she gave her a perfunctory reply, she felt that things were not that simple, so she went to Zhan Zi'an.

Zhan Yingying told Zhan Zi'an about Zhan Mengyan's abnormal expression when she returned home.

Zhan Zi'an said thoughtfully, "Yingying, don't worry. I'll go ask my cousin Zhang Deren about the situation and find out what happened to Mengyan at school. Let's go home and see Mengyan first."

As soon as they arrived at the door of their house, they saw Zhang Deren coming over on a bicycle.

"Cousin, why are you here? I was just looking for you." Zhan Zi'an hurriedly stepped forward and said.

"Zi'an, your sister is so troublesome that it really drives me crazy." Zhang Deren said angrily.

"Cousin, don't be angry. Mengyan is still young and doesn't understand things. You have to help and teach her. Come on, let's go into the house and have a rest first." Zhan Zi'an said as he led Zhang Deren into the house.

Yunqing was very surprised to see Zhang Deren coming, but she still calmly asked Zhang Deren to sit on the edge of the kang.

Yunqing looked at Zhang Deren's gloomy face and said with a smile: "My nephew, you just got off work, right? You haven't had dinner yet, right? I'll make some side dishes. When your uncle comes back, let Zi'an and your uncle have a drink with you. It's also a way to thank you for taking care of Mengyan for a long time."

"Aunt Yunqing, I'm here for a home visit today. I'll just say a few words and then leave. I have to visit other students' homes, so I don't have time to eat or drink," Zhang Deren said with a sullen face.

"Mom, sister Mengyan seems to have gotten into trouble at school. You should listen to what your eldest cousin says first." Zhan Zi'an said in a low voice.

Yunqing, Zhan Yingying, and Zhan Zi'an all looked at Zhang Deren nervously.

Zhang Deren glanced at the three of them and said, "Zhan Mengyan is too outrageous. These two are causing trouble every day because she instigated her classmates to fight twice. She also fell in love prematurely. I criticized her today, but she ran away before I could finish my words. She didn't listen to my advice at all."

"I didn't instigate my classmates to fight, and I didn't fall in love prematurely!" Zhan Mengyan rushed out of the inner room and interrupted Zhang Deren.

Zhang Deren saw Zhan Mengyan so angry that she stood up, pointed at Zhan Mengyan and said, "Look, I pointed out her mistakes but she refused to admit them, and her attitude was very bad. Aunt Yunqing, you and my uncle should educate Zhan Mengyan. If you don't want her to go to high school, she doesn't have to go to class tomorrow, so as to avoid causing trouble at school. One fish will spoil the whole pot. I can't be the head teacher of this graduating class. Wait until the graduation exam, go, take the exam, and get a junior high school diploma."

Zhang Deren rushed out of the house and no matter how Zhan Zi'an and Yun Qing tried to dissuade him, it was of no use. Zhang Deren got on his bicycle and left.

Zhan Zi'an and Yunqing returned to the house and asked Zhan Mengyan about her situation at school. Zhan Mengyan cried and told the details of what happened.

After hearing this, Zhan Yingying said indignantly, "Zhang Deren, what kind of home visit is this? It's like you're here to complain and vent your anger. Mengyan has been miserable since she came to Zhang Deren's class. Why does he always target our Mengyan? We should find the principal and expose Zhang Deren's harsh treatment of students. We should transfer her to another class. The head teacher will be willing to accept Zhanyan based on her academic performance. He won't accuse her of instigating classmates to fight or having a premature love affair like Zhang Deren did."

"Yingying, we can't be impulsive. If we hold on for another month or two, Mengyan will graduate from junior high school, and she will have no connection with Zhang Deren anymore. If we report this to the principal, our relationship as relatives will be over. Besides, how will your brother Zi'an face your second aunt?" Yunqing stopped him.

"It's better not to have this worthless relative. If he weren't a relative, he wouldn't be able to lend me any good things, but he would find faults everywhere and make things difficult for me..." Zhan Yingying muttered in dissatisfaction.

Zhan Zi'an touched Zhan Mengyan's head and said comfortingly, "Sister Mengyan, don't feel wronged and sad. Go to school as usual tomorrow. Haven't you learned "Born in Worry, Die in Comfort"? It says: When God wants to give a man a great responsibility, he must first make his heart and mind suffer, his muscles and bones tired, his body hungry, his body empty, and his actions disturbed, so as to move his heart and endure his nature, and increase his ability. What's the big deal about you now? The more unpleasant things we encounter, the stronger our Mengyan must be and the harder we will work. Don't tell Dad about the cousin's home visit today. If he knows that his sister fights and falls in love early, he will not let sister Mengyan go to school without asking any questions. I will go to my second aunt's house again later and call my cousin Zhang Deren to have a good talk, and try to let Mengyan pass the high school entrance examination safely. I promise not to let my cousin Zhang Deren embarrass sister Mengyan again."
