She doesn't want to pretend anymore

"Maybe he's afraid of delaying his studies."

Manshu did not say bad things about Yan Siyu in front of Grandma Yan.

Even though grandma has some grudges against Yan Siyu now, she is her granddaughter after all.

If you talk about it too much, grandma will feel uncomfortable to some extent.

Even for her daughter Yan Rulan, it might be okay for the old lady to complain about it herself, but how comfortable would she feel when outsiders say so?

After all, she was her and her husband's only daughter. If she was unfilial, it was because she and her husband had not taught her well.

Manshu was well aware of this principle, so without saying much, he helped his grandmother bring out the steaming old duck soup.

"This old duck soup has been simmered for six hours. The bones and the meat are separated. Come and have a taste." As she said this, Grandma Yan served a bowl to each of the three children.

"Thank you grandma."

Qin Gege had long been accustomed to it, just like at home. She took the bowl and her mouth was as sweet as if it was covered with honey.

It was Yan Siyu who frowned.

She doesn't like old duck soup and hates anything that smells like mutton.

The chef in the Yan family can remove the smell of the duck, but Grandma Yan may not be able to do so.

But when Grandma Yan brought it to her, she couldn't show that she was displeased.

"This is the first time I drink the soup cooked by my grandma. It must be delicious." Yan Siyu took a small sip.

She closed her eyes slightly, as if she was taking medicine.

Grandma Yan’s eyes were not blurry due to her old age, she saw the whole scene clearly.

The smile on his face also faded: "If you don't like to drink, then don't drink. Don't force yourself."

Yan Siyu's body froze: "How could that be? Grandma's cooking skills are very good, I like it very much."

Manshu glanced at Grandma Yan and served her a bowl of soup. "Drink the soup quickly, or it will get cold. Sister Siyu usually eats food specially made by the chef at home or from high-end restaurants outside. It's normal that she can't get used to it for a while."

Yan Siyu didn't expect Yan Manshu to be so harsh on her. Just as she was about to explain, Qin Gege replied, "Yes, Yan Siyu, if you are not used to it, just eat less. I really like this soup."

Yan Siyu really had no way to defend herself: "No, I like it very much."

She tried to change the subject and turned to Manshu: "By the way, sister, who wrote the big-character poster today? Have the teachers found out?"

The topic was changed abruptly, but Grandma Yan couldn't help but hear it.

"What big-character poster?" Grandma Yan keenly caught these three words and her tone was not very good.

She and Lao Yan were intellectuals and suffered greatly in that era.

During that special period, no one knows how many people were harmed by big-character posters.

So, when she heard about the big-character poster, Grandma Yan overreacted.

"It's just that someone in school posted a big-character poster reporting my sister for cheating. Don't worry, grandma. It's all been resolved."

As soon as she finished speaking, she noticed that the other three people at the table fell silent.

Grandma Yan frowned, and her first reaction was disbelief.

"Cheating, who are you saying is cheating?"

Manshu?

Grandma Yan didn't believe it at all.

Manshu was raised by her, and even though he was a little dull in the past, he had never cheated.

This child has had good grades since he was young and is working even harder now. Why would he need to cheat?

Yan Siyu covered her lips with her hands in embarrassment: "Grandma doesn't know yet? Did I say something wrong?"

She looked at Manshu cautiously, then at Grandma Yan, like a child who had made a mistake.

Grandma Yan had a gloomy face and ignored Yan Siyu. She only looked at Manshu: "Manshu, tell me, what's going on?"

She would never allow her children to have any flaws in character.

This was also influenced by that unfilial daughter.
