Countdown to Awakening

As Qin Zixin was packing, another thought suddenly occurred to her...

She thought about it and realized that if she really stayed in this small village for the rest of her life, not only would Ma Hui be interested in her, but if anyone else was interested in her, they would definitely do something like this. Then... she would have to bear the shadow of this for the rest of her life.

Today there's Ma Hui, and who knows, there might be others in the future. There are so many bachelors in the village who haven't found wives. What if someone takes a fancy to her and does something like this to her, and succeeds? Wouldn't that be the end for her? She'd really have to stay here forever...

That's right, she only realized it now and understood Zhang Mei's good intentions. Maybe she didn't do anything wrong...

It turned out that Zhang Mei was not trying to drive her away, but to protect her. She knew what was going on in the village, so she tried her best to get her to leave.

She knew that Zhang Mei, such a righteous person, could not possibly do such a thing. She must have done it on purpose! She believed that Zhang Mei was not that kind of person.

I'm so stupid. I just realized it now and I've been blaming Zhang Mei wrongly...

Thinking of this, Qin Zixin said again: "You go back, Teacher Jiang. I will send a letter to my family tomorrow and tell them that I am going back. Ask them to come and pick me up."

Jiang Wen opened his mouth again, wanting to say something. But seeing Qin Zixin's resolute attitude, he said nothing... It seemed like there was no point in trying to persuade her.

After thinking about it, he could only say, "...Okay. Teacher Qin, I hope you can find a better job in the city."

After saying this, Jiang Wen sighed and turned to leave. Li Weiming was also outside and hadn't come over yet.

After Jiang Wen came over, he asked, "How is it? Is she willing to stay?"

Jiang Wen shook his head and said, "No need to persuade her. She's determined to leave. We can only wish her a good job in Youcheng."

To be honest, they all knew that Teacher Qin could find a good job in Youcheng, and even being a teacher would be well paid.

The village chief's family is always in turmoil. Now, Chen Jiade has come to the village chief's house to plead for mercy. The village chief didn't expect Chen Jiade to come...

"Village head, Teacher Qin is one of the few teachers in the village. How could you agree to let her go? If she leaves, what will happen to the children in the village? The children she teaches in the village are all very polite. How can you drive them away? Although everyone wants her to leave, we can't do this..."

The village chief hadn't expected Chen Jiade to come and intercede on Teacher Qin's behalf. Normally, Chen Jiade and Teacher Qin had nothing to do with each other. Why was he interceding on her behalf now? It didn't sound right...

"This is not something I can decide. Everyone wants her to leave. And she herself may not want to stay in the village. Don't say anything. Go back." The village chief sighed.

When Chen Jiade heard this, he suddenly felt a little uneasy.

Didn't Teacher Qin like him? Why was she leaving? He also liked Teacher Qin very much. She hadn't even married him yet, so why was she leaving?

If Teacher Qin leaves, who will he look after? Before Teacher Qin left, he could still fantasize about his future life with Teacher Qin. Now that she's gone, even that fantasy is gone... He can only look at Liu Yingdi's sallow face every day. He has no interest at all.

The village chief waved his hands repeatedly. "No, no matter who comes, it won't help. So many people in the village want her to leave. How can I stop her? Isn't this impossible? Go back."

Chen Jiade looked at the village chief disappointedly.

"Is she really leaving, Village Chief? Teacher Qin is such a great teacher, and the students she teaches are excellent. If anyone gets into university in the future, won't it be Teacher Qin's credit? Do you really want her to leave?"

After Zhao Fu came out, he waved at him and signaled him to go back.

His dad has so many things to do every day, and they're all things that are not presentable. What else do you want? Do you want to tire his dad to death?

Then Zhao Fu walked over to his ear and whispered, "Chen Jiade, I don't know what you're planning. You have to remember that you have a family. You have to be worthy of your wife and daughter."

After he finished speaking, he glanced at Chen Jiade. The disdain in his eyes was obvious.

Chen Jiade felt a little guilty.

How did he know? Was it obvious? No, right? He didn't believe there was any man in the village who didn't like Teacher Qin. Such an excellent woman, also virtuous and gentle, the children she gave birth to would definitely be excellent too. It was a pity that she was leaving now.

"What are you thinking about? Brother Fu, I am doing this for the sake of the children in the village. Really. I don't want to see the children in the village without books to read. How good of a teacher is Teacher Qin? We should investigate thoroughly. We can't wrongly accuse her. It would be a shame if she just left like this?" Chen Jiade said.

"Hey, Chen Jiade, when did you become interested in this kind of thing? Stop pretending."

Chen Jiade felt more and more guilty.

Although he couldn't stand Teacher Qin wearing colorful clothes every day, seducing him and other men, he didn't want Teacher Qin to leave. Who would he want to go with if she left?

"I'm really doing this for the children in the village... Brother Fu. Don't you believe me? Ma Hui would wrongly accuse someone, how could I do such a thing? If I don't investigate thoroughly, wouldn't I be wrongly accusing a good person? Teacher Qin is such a good teacher... Which teacher in the village can compare to Teacher Qin? I say you should investigate thoroughly... Okay? Ask the village chief to investigate thoroughly... Don't wrongly accuse Teacher Qin."

Chen Jiade begged.

Zhao Fu couldn't stand it anymore. Every day, there were so many messes at home that they had to deal with... If it was their family affairs, it would be fine. But if it wasn't their family affairs, how could it be so easy to deal with? Did they think that being the village chief meant they had to deal with everyone's family affairs?

And how could he not know what Chen Jiade meant? Why was he still pretending? Was there any point in pretending in front of him?

"Go back here! This is settled. If Teacher Qin wants to leave, then she has to leave. She won't leave even if you try to persuade her a few times. And don't even think about it! I tell you, you are a married man, yet you are still thinking about this other woman!... You are not a man at all! I am ashamed of you!" Zhao Fu could no longer bear it.

Chen Jiade was instantly furious when he heard this. He was thinking about other women? Wasn't Zhao Fu the same? Did Zhao Fu only love his wife?

Besides, that Liu Yingdi is shamelessly obsessed with Jiang Wen, so why can't he be obsessed with other women? What's the basis for saying that? Men in ancient times could have three wives and four concubines, so why can't she be obsessed with other women?

So he said angrily, "Hey... Zhao Fu, do you dare to say that you don't have thoughts about other women? Don't you like Teacher Qin? You coward, you don't even dare to fight for her! I look down on you!!"
