From a refugee to a martial artist

Chapter 276 Asking
Seeing that it was getting dark, the uncles finally stopped.

Lin Yan was a cautious person. He patted his butt and pulled the boy named Tian over. "Look how tired these old guys are. Go and book two tables. Don't let them go back hungry."

The young man did not respond at all, but instead backed away.

Seeing Lin Yan stand up as if nothing had happened, Meng Yuan also stood up.

Lin Yan personally poured tea for them and invited Zhao Wannian and the other three to sit down.

"You sit down too." Zhao Wannian pulled Meng Yuan to sit down, "You have now reached the middle level of martial arts, as high as Xiao Linzi, and you are more promising than all of us."

Tian Chengnong said: "Old Nie taught two sixth-grade people."

After these words were spoken, Zhao Wannian and the other three looked at Lin Yan and Meng Yuan, and their peers also came to look.

Zhao Wannian and others, like Nie Yannian, are old members of the Ying family. Now they all have their own experiences and their descendants still keep in touch with them. Some of them study literature, but most of them still learn martial arts to make a living.

But when it comes to the best ones, there are only Lin Yan and Meng Yuan.

"The incident in Songhe Prefecture has spread all over the world, and we all know about it." Zhao Wannian gently patted Meng Yuan's shoulder, "Old Nie is our old brother. He died for the Third Miss. The Third Miss will definitely avenge him, but we will not forget it either."

Zhao Wannian and the others had obviously discussed this before. He continued, "The enemy is powerful, so there is no need to worry. We will make progress every day. As long as we don't forget, there will always be a day for revenge!"

"A warrior is one who has courage in his heart. As long as you hold on to your breath, you will definitely have a chance!" Qi Yongnian said.

The four of them talked for a while and asked Meng Yuan about his plans for the future. After Meng Yuan said that he would be going to Ping'an Prefecture soon, Zhao Wannian asked Meng Yuan to go find him before he left.

Seeing that the conversation was getting more and more endless, Lin Yan directly said: "Are you going to eat or not? I'll ask Yao Niang to cook for everyone!"

Zhao Wannian and others were angry about Yuan Yaoniang for asking Lin Yan to change her surname. They all disliked this niece-in-law. When they heard that they had to ask Yuan Yaoniang to cook, they got angry and scolded Lin Yan again.

However, the young men of the same generation were all eager to try and were very curious about Yuan Yao Niang.

"If you don't want to eat, leave now!" Lin Yan began to chase them away, "Junior brother just came back and hasn't seen Qingqing yet, what's the point of you occupying it?"

Lin Yan was very assertive. "Don't talk nonsense. If you really want to help with revenge, why not exchange some silver first? It can also be used as travel expenses to Ping'an Prefecture! There are many bald donkeys over there. If you take three steps, you will see a beggar. If you take five steps, you will be asked to give alms. You can't do this without money!"

Seeing that Lin Yan's words were becoming more and more irrelevant, Zhao Wannian and others did not want to stay any longer and said goodbye.

"Uncle Zhao, you are the elder, please help me think of some auspicious names!" Lin Yan sent him to the door and said casually, "Mrs. Yao said to take her last name, but I can come up with the name!"

Zhao Wannian and the others' faces turned blue with anger, and they all yelled at Lin Yan for being shameless and spineless.

"What are you embarrassing? I don't have any parents, so what surname does it matter? Changing my surname can make Yao Niang happy, isn't that better than anything else?" After everyone left, Lin Yan put his arm around Meng Yuan's shoulder and began to teach by example, "How about it? How about waiting for Qingqing to give birth to a child and giving him the surname Qingqing? She will definitely be happy!"

"I'm not a son-in-law." Meng Yuan disagreed, "Besides, Qingqing would never let me do such a thing."

"Brother, what do you think of those men in black?" Meng Yuan asked about the main business.

"The man in black must be from the army, but I need to find out who he belongs to." Lin Yan was standing at the gate, stroking his chin while asking, "What did the Third Miss say?"

"Miss Third asked me to follow Wang Er for the time being, and the matter of the man in black will be dealt with later." Meng Yuan said.

"That's it." Lin Yan smiled, "Miss Third probably knows who it is, but it's not easy to deal with."

He looked at Meng Yuan and said seriously, "At least, with our current abilities, and even Miss Third's current abilities, it's still not easy to deal with that person."

Seeing this, Meng Yuan stopped asking about this matter and instead brought up another matter. "Come to think of it, Jie Kaiping also told me that people from Lanruo Temple were involved in Qing Guangzi's success, and now Wang Er has gone to Lanruo Temple. In addition, Elder Qingque from the Demon Country seems to have been involved as well."

"Qingque..." Lin Yan licked his lips, "Your sister-in-law knows best, let's go find her."

The two chatted nonsense and came to the backyard, where they heard people chatting in the room. A clear female voice and a childish voice, the former was Yuan Yaoniang and the latter was Xiangling.

Yuan Yaoniang was asking about Xiangling's hometown. Xiangling was a very honest person and she didn't hide anything. She even told her about her godmother sticking her butt out to the old Taoist priest.

"Medicine mother." Lin Yan entered the room with a happy smile on his face, "Uncle Zhao and the others agreed, saying that our children will have your last name in the future!"

There was a heater in the room. Yuan Yaoniang, Nie Qingqing, and Jiang Tang were sitting and drinking tea. Xiangling was held in Yuan Yaoniang's arms.

Yuan Yaoniang had a cold face as she peeled an eggshell. She glanced at Lin Yan, then at Meng Yuan, then stood up and bowed, "I hope you are well, Brother Meng."

"Hello, sister-in-law." Meng Yuan returned the greeting and then looked at Nie Qingqing.

After not seeing each other for a long time, Nie Qingqing looked a little thinner and her face was slightly pale. She also looked at Meng Yuan with red eyes.

Meng Yuan walked forward, held Nie Qingqing's hands, and said softly: "I will be there for you from now on."

At this moment, Nie Qingqing no longer looked like the big sister she used to be, but rather like a helpless little girl.

"It's alright, Qingqing," Lin Yan was very good at comforting people, "I just told my junior brother that if you two have children in the future, they will take their mother's surname, just like me and Yao Niang!"

Nie Qingqing glanced at Lin Yan and said, "There is no such rule in my family."

"My godmother said that only a man who marries into the family should take his mother's surname!" Xiangling was very knowledgeable about the world. She tilted her head to look at Lin Yan and said, "Little gelder is not a man who marries into the family. Do you want to be a man who marries into the family?"

"What's wrong with marrying into the family? It's very good!" Lin Yan was as tough as a dead pig that was not afraid of boiling water.

"My godmother said that decent people should not marry into the family." Xiangling made a point.

Lin Yan was about to refute, but when he saw Yuan Yaoniang frowning, he stopped talking.

Yuan Yaoniang peeled the eggs and gave them to Xiangling.

Xiangling happily took it and said, "You're really good!"

Yuan Yaoniang was very affectionate to Xiangling. With a smile on her face, she said, "Why don't you come live with me from now on? I'll cook eggs for you every day."

"That won't do!" Xiangling heard this and shook her head while chewing on egg whites. She said seriously, "I have a job in Chan Palace now. If I don't work, my salary will be deducted! Grandma Ying is the best at finding excuses to deduct my salary!"

"I don't have to do any work here, so I have a leisurely and peaceful life." Yuan Yaoniang said.

"How can I not work?" Xiangling's eyes widened. "Godmother will be useless if she is idle. Even if I have to steal an egg or touch a fruit every day, I can't be idle."

She happily ate the egg white and gave the yolk to Meng Yuan, "Little gelder!"

"I'm not hungry." Meng Yuan said.

"Alas, it's a pity that classmate Dugu is not here. He loves eating and is hungry every day." Xiangling sighed.

"Who is classmate Dugu?" Yuan Yaoniang asked curiously.

"He is a veteran of our Laobiekeng Poetry Society." Xiangling said seriously, and recited a few poems of Dugu Kang.

Seeing Xiang Ling carrying more and more, Lin Yan said, "Yao Niang, our junior brother and his two sisters-in-law are here. Go and prepare a table of food so that our family can have a meal."

Yuan Yaoniang glanced at Lin Yan with a cold face.

"Then I'll take care of it." Lin Yan immediately changed his tone.
