Meng Yan's Transformation

Chapter 527: Cutting the Hair and Eradicating the Roots

"Sister Mengyan! What's wrong with you?"

"Mengyan, rinse your mouth with warm water..."

"Mom, you shouldn't have asked Sister Mengyan to help me. How could she have done such a job? She's never seen such a bloody scene before. All the candied haws I ate last night were wasted. I vomited them all out."

As Zhan Yingying spoke, she helped Zhan Mengyan up and asked her to rinse her mouth. Zhan Mengyan's expression gradually returned to calm, but the feeling of nausea in her heart still lingered.

"Zhan Mengyan, what's wrong with you? Why are you sick during the New Year? Come into the house and let dad take a look at you."

As Zhan Yu spoke, he walked in from the front door holding red paper and a bottle of ink in his hands.

"Sister Mengyan is not sick. When she was plucking the chicken feathers for me just now, she was so nauseous that she vomited when she saw me gutting the chicken and smelled the stench of the feathers. I don't need her help anymore. She will be fine after a rest. Zhan Mengyan, you really are destined to be a lady. Go lie down on the kang for a while and close your eyes to rest!"

While Zhan Yingying was speaking, she helped Zhan Mengyan to the edge of the kang and squatted down to take off her shoes.

"Sister Yingying, I can handle it myself. I'm not really sick. You can go ahead and do your work. Don't worry about me. I'll take a break and help you pluck the chicken feathers later."

While Zhan Mengyan was speaking, she took off her shoes.

"Come on, Zhan Mengyan, my dear daughter, I dare not trouble you anymore. You are destined to be a lady and cannot do such rough work. I am destined to be a maid. Why should I, a rough maid, do any housework? You vomited so much just now that your face turned pale. I was scared. I really regretted asking you for help. I won't talk to you anymore. I'm going to clean up those chickens. Sister Mengyan, you'd better stay on the kang and wait for your sister to prepare a whole chicken feast for you."

As Zhan Yingying spoke, she bowed to Zhan Mengyan and then went to the kitchen.

"Sister Mengyan, listen to Zhan Yingying. The way you vomited just now was truly horrible. I'll help Zhan Yingying pluck the chicken feathers for you later."

As Zhan Zixun spoke, he pushed Zhan Mengyan towards the kang with concern.

"Mengyan, you cut the red paper on the kang according to your mother's requirements and help her write the Spring Festival couplets. Zhan Zixun and I will help Zhan Yingying pluck the chicken feathers later. We are all busy and doing our best!"

As Zhan Yu spoke, he handed the red paper and scissors to Zhan Mengyan.

"Okay, I can do this!"

As Zhan Mengyan spoke, she happily took the red paper and scissors.

After Yunqing finished writing the Spring Festival couplets and painting two landscape paintings, Zhan Yingying brought three chickens with most of their feathers plucked out into the house.

"Zhan Zixun, you get one, Dad gets one, and I get one. Let's pluck the feathers out of the chicken skin, and I'll burn the last few tiny feathers with fire."

While Zhan Yingying was speaking, she gave everyone a pair of small pliers.

"Brother Zixun, let's go together. I'll help you pluck the chicken feathers."

As Zhan Mengyan spoke, she moved closer to Zhan Zixun.

"You're not going to throw up again, are you?"

As Zhan Zixun spoke, he looked at Zhan Mengyan worriedly.

"No, Sister Yingying has cleaned the chicken so well that it's not so smelly anymore."

As Zhan Mengyan spoke, she searched for chicken feathers on the chicken skin and pointed them out to Zhan Zixun.

Zhan Zixun grabbed a piece of chicken skin with pliers and pulled it hard, and the skin and hair came off.

Zhan Zixun proudly showed his trophy in front of Zhan Yingying.

"Zhan Zixun, are you plucking the chicken feathers or peeling the chicken skin?"

Zhan Zixun boasted proudly, "Of course I plucked the chicken's feathers! I was afraid that it would 'burn like wildfire, only to grow back again in the spring breeze,' so I cut off the 'feathers' to eradicate it completely."
