Meng Yan's Transformation

"Zhan Mengyan, Zhan Yingying, how come one of you was washing the rags, and the other was taking them, but you both never came back? What were you doing?"

While Zhang Xincheng was speaking, he stood on a stool and wiped the glass on the door with a dirty rag.

"I'm coming!"

While Zhan Yingying was speaking, she hurriedly added water to the basin and washed the two dirty rags.

"Come on, let's go clean the windows! I told you not to explain when you're misunderstood, why didn't you listen?"

While Zhan Yingying was speaking, she pulled Zhan Mengyan back to the east room, leaving Zhan Zixun standing there.

"Hey, Zhan Yingying, you're just washing a rag, why are you all wet? How do you wash it?"

As Zhang Xincheng spoke, he took the rag handed to him by Zhan Yingying and saw that Zhan Yingying's body and face were wet.

"Yes, Brother Zixun..."

Zhan Mengyan was just about to tell Zhan Zixun about the fight between Zhan Yingying and Zhan Zixun over the basin of water, but she saw Zhan Yingying put her index finger to her lips and made a "hush" sound. Zhan Mengyan understood and had to swallow back what she was about to say.

"What happened to Zhan Zixun? Did he just have a water fight with Zhan Yingying?"

While Zhang Xincheng was speaking, he continued to wipe the glass while standing on a high stool.

"What's the point of having a water fight? I don't have the time to deal with Zhan Zixun. Zhang Xincheng, you can just wipe it off and come down quickly. You can't do two things at once. Be careful and don't fall. I won't be responsible if you get hurt."

As Zhan Yingying spoke, she wiped the glass of the lower window.

"I can't just wipe it casually. I climbed up here with great difficulty. This door is high up and I can see it as soon as I look up. I have to wipe it carefully to make it transparent and bright. It's New Year's Day, Zhan Yingying, please think of me a little so that I won't fall down."

As Zhang Xincheng spoke, he kept his eyes fixed on the glass and carefully wiped the water marks left on it by the wet rag.

"Zhang Xincheng, come down and take a rest. I'll go up and clean it!"

While Zhan Zixun was speaking, he stood under the high stool where Zhang Xincheng was standing.

"What? Have you figured it out? You, a grown man, can do the work this woman does? Don't you feel embarrassed? Don't you think it's beneath your manhood?"

As Zhang Xincheng spoke, he looked down at Zhan Zixun with a smile.

"Zhang Xincheng, why are you talking so much nonsense? Come down! If you don't want to come down, I'll kick the stool over and you'll be in free fall."

As Zhan Zixun spoke, he raised his foot, pointed his toes at the high stool where Zhang Xincheng was standing, and made a gesture as if he was about to kick the stool.

"No! No! Zhan Zixun, please go easy on me! Zhan Yingying just cursed me to fall off the high stool, and you, Zhan Zixun, wanted to kick the stool I was standing on, causing me to free fall. It's true that people from the same family are like one another! You two siblings are so cruel, you're really in cahoots with each other!"

As Zhang Xincheng spoke, he hurriedly straightened his short legs and got off the high stool.

"Zhang Xincheng, you're truly ungrateful! My sister Yingying was just kindly trying to remind you not to fall, so how could you accuse her of cursing you?! My brother Zixun was just heartbroken for your hard work cleaning the windows and wanted you to get down and rest. He was just teasing you, would he really kick over the stool you were standing on? What do you mean by collusion? That's a misnomer! How can two kind-hearted people who care about you be considered like-minded and united?"

When Zhan Mengyan spoke, she pouted and looked dissatisfied.

"Look! Look! Here comes another person who's trying to stand up for the weak. We're still family, and family should support family. I worked so hard to help someone else clean up, and in the end, I ended up being the one who got in the way! I'm so wronged! I'm so wronged!"
