Meng Yan's Transformation

Chapter 248 Persuasion

No matter how Zhan Mengyan begged, Zhan Yu remained unmoved and did not open the door to let Zhan Mengyan out.

Zhan Mengyan was detained for a week. She refused to eat or drink and went on a hunger strike to express her protest.

On the weekend night, Yunqing saw Zhan Mengyan locked in the inner room. She still hadn't eaten for a day. She felt so distressed that she didn't know what to do. She specially made a bowl of dumpling soup and said to Zhan Mengyan who was pretending to sleep with her head covered: "Mengyan, you should eat something, otherwise you will starve to death. Only when you are healthy can you hope to go to school. You are so hungry that you have no strength. What's the point of talking about going to school? Let's talk about it. I will persuade your father in a while, and he will agree to let you go to school. Now the more you are angry and go on a hunger strike, the angrier your father will be. You and your father are both stubborn. In the end, both sides will suffer. You are a daughter, you have to give in first, be good, be good, eat first, and wait for your father to soften his heart, maybe he will agree to let you go to school..."

No matter how Yunqing tried to persuade her, Zhan Mengyan didn't say a word.

Zhang Xincheng and Zhan Zixun had a weekend off. Zhang Xincheng did not go home but went directly to see Zhan Mengyan with Zhan Zixun. As soon as he stepped into the door, he shouted, "Mengyan, we are back!"

Yunqing saw the two people coming in and said as if she saw a savior: "You two are back, hurry up and persuade this stubborn girl. She hasn't eaten for seven days. If we hadn't force-fed her some glucose syrup, Mengyan would have starved to death."

Zhan Zixun took the bowl of dumpling soup from Yunqing, sat next to Zhan Mengyan, and began to tell her about the miserable state of people who died of starvation, in order to scare her. But Zhan Mengyan looked at Zhan Zixun nonchalantly and still refused to eat the dumpling soup.

Zhan Zixun persuaded Zhan Mengyan earnestly for another hour, and he said he was hungry and thirsty. He handed the bowl of dumpling soup to Zhang Xincheng, indicating that he should continue to persuade Zhan Mengyan, while he could not help but go to eat and drink water.

After Zhan Zixun left, Zhang Xincheng whispered in Zhan Mengyan's ear about how he planned to escape.

Zhan Mengyan's eyes lit up when she heard this and she quickly became alert. Zhang Xincheng handed the bowl of dumpling soup to her and she started eating with a smile.

Zhan Yu walked into the room and saw Zhan Mengyan eating happily in front of Zhang Xincheng. He felt something was wrong. He patted Zhang Xincheng on the shoulder and said, "Zhang Xincheng, how did you get Zhan Mengyan to eat?"

Zhang Xincheng stood up quickly and said, "Uncle Zhan, you're back. Zixun and I have been trying to persuade Sister Mengyan for a long time, starting with the tragic situation of people starving to death and then talking about how we can use the holidays to help Sister Mengyan study high school courses on her own. Sister Mengyan finally figured it out and decided not to go to school anymore. She will study at home first. She will go to school when the family's financial situation improves. We came up with this roundabout way to go to high school."

Zhan Yu looked at Zhang Xincheng and Zhan Mengyan doubtfully, and said, "Zhang Xincheng, you and Zhan Mengyan should not play any tricks with me. Zhan Mengyan should think it through and stay at home peacefully. If you give Zhan Mengyan any bad ideas and lead her astray, I will put you on the anvil in your blacksmith shop and use you as iron."

Zhan Mengyan and Zhang Xincheng couldn't help but shudder when they heard this. Zhang Xincheng hurriedly covered up and said, "Uncle Zhan, don't worry, I won't give Sister Mengyan any bad ideas. It was only after Zhan Zixun and I persuaded her that she figured it out and ate. If you don't believe me, ask Zhan Zixun again, Zhan Zixun! Don't just eat by yourself, come and help us explain to Uncle Zhan..."

Zhan Zixun heard Zhang Xincheng's shout, and walked over with food in his mouth, and said incoherently: "I'm coming, I'm coming, Dad, Sister Mengyan really got enlightened after Zhang Xincheng and I persuaded her, and she figured it out all of a sudden, so she ate. Don't worry, Sister Mengyan won't be in a bad mood anymore from now on. Hehe."

After saying this, Zhan Zixun proudly gave Zhan Mengyan a thumbs up.
