Meng Yan's Transformation

Chapter 586 The Inevitable Fragrance

As Yunqing spoke, she looked at "Third Sister-in-law" Wang Shujuan with eyes full of envy.

“Yunqing, don’t lie through your teeth. What good fortune do I have? I’m sick all over, and I don’t even have a son. In our village, that’s something to be ashamed of. We call it ‘having no descendants.’ Yunqing, you have so many sons to rely on. You’re the one who will be blessed in the future.”

As Wang Shujuan spoke, she lay on her pillow, breathing heavily.

"Third sister-in-law, third sister-in-law, slow down, slow down. I'm really not lying. Everyone gets sick, and you'll recover soon. Having sons sounds nice, but boys are naturally mischievous, eat more than girls, and wear out more fabric. None of my sons were well-behaved when they were young. They were always fighting and causing trouble outside. As their stepmother, I was often confronted with insults like 'protecting your own'... And that wasn't all. When I was seven months pregnant with Zhan Yingying, I was pushed and shoved, which caused me to give birth prematurely and almost lose both of our lives... Sigh, when my sons finally grew up and could earn money, my older brothers, worried that their younger siblings would be burdened by school, all started arguing about separating from the family." I also have to worry about finding wives for each of my sons. Sons have far more to worry about than daughters, otherwise, why didn't you accept our fourth son, Zhanzi, as your son? You returned him to us. In the end, daughters are better, but only daughters like yours, Third Sister-in-law, who are sensible. My daughters are no good; neither of my two daughters is as disobedient as the last one! It's like they have a grudge against me from a past life, coming to take revenge on me in this life. They embarrass me in public, and people laugh at me, Yunqing, for not knowing how to raise her daughters! Third Sister-in-law, today I, Yunqing, truly feel like I'm being driven to the brink of despair by my own daughters!

As Yunqing spoke, she massaged the chest of her third sister-in-law, Wang Shujuan, and glared at Zhan Mengyan and Zhan Yingying.

"Yunqing, it's been so long since we sisters-in-law have chatted. It's so good that you came to my house. We all have our own difficulties, being a woman is tough, but I know that as a stepmother, it's been even tougher for you than for me. Thankfully, you've made it through. As for me, I'm truly not destined to have a son. I've given birth to seven daughters in a row, but not a single boy. That fourth son, Zhan Ziqiang, is too naughty; I really can't stand him. Let's not talk about the past. You said you came to see me today, but I know you're here to see Zhan Mengyan and Zhan Yingying. Today is Zhan Yingying's special meal, and you didn't tell me beforehand, so I won't complain. But the way you glared at those two children, Zhan Mengyan and Zhan Yingying looked at you like mice before a cat. You even used my daughter to mock your daughter for being immature. You've hurt your own daughter's feelings so much. Let's talk this out. You're not allowed to bully my two nieces. The children have come to see their aunt, and I have to protect them!"

As Wang Shujuan spoke, she suddenly sat up, and Zhan Mengyan hurriedly went forward to put a pillow behind her "Third Aunt." But she kept her head down and dared not look at Yunqing.

"Look how perceptive Mengyan is! She even said the child was being unreasonable. She's so good to me, her third aunt, how could she not love her own mother? What's with all this talk about revenge? Don't you dare slander such a beautiful girl like me!"

As Wang Shujuan spoke, she and Yunqing exchanged a smile.

"Mom, Auntie, please have some tea."

As Zhan Yingying spoke, she took the tray from Zhan Yue, picked up a teacup from it, and carefully handed it to the two of them.

Wang Shujuan and Yunqing exchanged another smile, their eyes filled with similar contentment. The aroma of tea rose gently, weaving a golden net in the sunlight, capturing this ordinary yet precious afternoon.
