Chapter 161: Chapter 161 Rumors_1
At the dining table sat Mrs. Yun, Yun Hai, Yun Lei, and Mr. Yun, all surrounding a single table.
“Let’s eat!”
Meng Yunhan picked up her bowl and began to eat.
Seeing Meng Yunhan like this, the others had no choice but to start eating as well.
“Hanhan, slow down, let’s take our time eating,” Mrs. Yun said, seeing how fiercely Meng Yunhan was stuffing food into her mouth.
After swallowing the food in her mouth with effort, Meng Yunhan mustered a smile. “Okay.”
Both Yun Hai and Yun Lei glanced at Meng Yunhan, but neither said a word.
Although Meng Yunhan agreed verbally, she continued her frantic eating. She feared that if she didn’t, she wouldn’t be able to eat at all.
When she finished her meal, she put down her chopsticks and told the others, “You can take your time. I’m going back to my room now.”
“Dad, Mom, I’ve heard that my third brother is back.” Yun Men, with a prominent belly, arrived with Zhang Yunxuan and his father. As soon as they entered the courtyard, she shouted out the news.
She had heard that Yun Hao had been carried back, and some even said that the third Yun family son had met with an accident. It was such a pity, given his child was only one month old, and poor Meng Yunhan was about to become a widow all of a sudden.
So she brought her child and her husband and rushed over immediately.
“What brought you here?” Seeing her daughter in such a late stage of pregnancy coming over at nightfall, Mrs. Yun worryingly asked.
“Dad, Mom, eldest brother, second brother….”
“Grandpa, grandma, uncle, another uncle….”
Zhang Yunxuan and his father greeted everyone together.
“Mom, is it true that something had happened to my third brother?” Zhang Jiang supported Yun Men as they slowly walked towards Mrs. Yun. Yun Men had rushed over in a hurry to clarify what had happened to her third brother.
“Yes, your brother has become a vegetative person,” Mrs. Yun had hoped to hide the truth, but it was impossible. She just sighed and said it.
“What’s a vegetative person?” A confused look appeared on Yun Men’s face as she struggled to understand her mother’s words.
Zhang Jiang also didn’t understand; it was his first time hearing this term.
“A living corpse.” They didn’t want to use such a phrase, but they had to, as no one else at the table seemed to understand.
Seeing everyone so serious, the young Zhang Yunxuan let go of his father’s hand and headed towards his aunt’s room.
He gently opened the door and stepped inside.
“Aunt…”
Meng Yunhan turned towards the door and saw young Zhang Yunxuan. “Little Zhuzi, you’ve come.”
Zhang Yunxuan’s gaze was fixed on the person lying on the bed. He quietly asked, “Aunt, they told me Uncle is dead… is that really true?”
Meng Yunhan’s eyes flickered a little. “Little Zhuzi, your uncle is still alive, he’s just sleeping.”
Sleeping?
Is it that simple?
“Really, aunt? Uncle is just sleeping, and he’ll wake up tomorrow, right?”
Meng Yunhan herself wished she would see Yun Hao wake up when she opened her eyes the next morning, but this was merely wishful thinking.
“Your uncle is very tired and needs to sleep for a few more days.”
Young Zhang Yunxuan scratched his head thoughtfully. “Why does uncle need to sleep for so long? Little Zhuzi can’t sleep that long, I wake up as soon as it’s daylight, so I can play with my brothers.”
Meng Yunhan continued her consoling lie, “Your uncle is an adult”
“Little Zhuzi, are you hungry? There’s yummy food here.” Meng Yunhan was afraid young Zhang Yunxuan would keep asking.
Young Zhang Yunxuan was indeed distracted by the change of topic.
Outside, hearing about the situation, Zhang Jiang and Yun Men wanted to come and take a look.
Since young Zhang Yunxuan hadn’t closed the door, they walked right in.
Seeing her son with food again, Yun Men knew he had come to his aunt for food. As her eyes swept over the figure on the bed, they welled up with tears.
