Countdown to Awakening

Ma Jie was speechless and then simply stopped talking.

In reality, he didn't like his younger brother that much, but there was nothing he could do. Sometimes he could even order him around.

If Ma Hui marries someone else, will he still remember his deceased mother?

"Dad, if you marry another one, will you still remember my mom?"

Ma Jie's question successfully left Ma Hui speechless.

"Why mention that woman? It's bad luck!" Ma Hui threw down his chopsticks and got angry again.

Why did he remember her? That unlucky woman, if she hadn't given birth to a son, she might not have been known to others. If she hadn't given birth to a son, he wouldn't have let her in.

Now this son is also disobedient and loves to talk back to him, just like that woman.

Qiangzi, born to the second woman, was more obedient. He never contradicted him and never mentioned that woman.

"Dad, what do you mean?" Ma Jie was puzzled.

"Don't mention that unlucky woman. She's not even worthy of entering our house! If she hadn't given birth to you, would she even be remembered? I tell you, if it weren't for me, you'd be chewing leaves somewhere! If I hadn't raised you, don't you think you'd have such a good life? And you're still mentioning that woman to me!? Unlucky!"

Ma Jie instantly felt aggrieved. He knew that Ma Hui disliked his biological mother, but he had never expected it to reach this point.

You can't even mention it.

Ma Jie didn't dare to refute anything. After all, everything he had was given by Ma Hui. If Ma Hui got angry and kicked him out, no one would dare to say anything.

In the afternoon, Shang Wen, Fang Yu and the other two finally arrived in Youcheng.

When the driver picked up Fang Yu, he also picked up Shang Wen.

Li Xuemei, Yu Linlin and her sister Yu Minmin were sitting on the sofa. When they saw everyone coming back, they immediately got up from the sofa together.

"Lin Hao, you're finally back." Li Xuemei said. Shang Wen simply said a few words.

Yu Linlin came to Fang Yu's side and looked at her for a while before confirming that she was fine.

Yu Minmin was even more worried. She had heard that her daughter had been wronged in the village, and after reading the letter Fang Yu received, she became even more worried.

Even now, seeing her in person, I'm filled with heartache. I'm afraid she won't come back. She only has this one daughter. Who wouldn't worry if something happened to her?

Qin Yutian and Fang Anmin also came back from outside.

When Qin Yutian saw Qin Zixin, he showed the same expression as Yu Minmin.

"Dad, Mom, don't worry. I'm fine. Look, I'm fine, aren't I?" Qin Zixin said with a smile.

When Qin Yutian saw that his daughter was fine, the heart that had been in his throat finally settled down.

When Yu Minmin saw Qin Yutian, she immediately asked, "You too, why did you come back just now? You still know you have a daughter? I thought you forgot!"

Qin Yutian said apologetically: "Wife, am I not too busy with work?"

Fang Anmin also spoke up: "My brother-in-law and I are really too busy, sister, please don't be angry."

Yu Minmin put away that expression only after she heard it.

"Okay, auntie, my sister and I are fine, right? Don't be angry with your uncle. I'll take my sister back to her room first."

Yu Linlin only responded softly. The two sisters hadn't seen each other for so long and had a lot to talk about.

After Fang Yu and Qin Zixin went upstairs, Shang Wen also felt bored staying there and said she wanted to go home.

She knew that because of the original owner's affairs, Fang Yu's parents were not optimistic about her, but it was not easily seen.

So it's not good for her to stay here.

When he returned, he left behind several elders.

Seeing this, Li Xuemei took the opportunity to propose a marriage between Lin Hao and Fang Yu. She was very optimistic about Fang Yu.

"Brother Fang, what do you think about the situation between Lin Hao and your Fang Yu? I'm very optimistic about Fang Yu. Our two families are well-matched, and the two children are childhood sweethearts. They know each other well. Now they've been admitted to the same university. How about we pick a time..."

Li Xuemei had a meaningful expression on her face after she finished speaking. She hoped that the two families could marry, which would be good for both families.

After hearing her words, Fang Anmin fell silent...

Did she think that everyone knew about Lin Hao's affair? Although the two families were a good match, it still depended on the circumstances, didn't it?

Fang Anmin said somewhat tactfully, "Mrs. Lin, our Xiaoyu is still young. It's not appropriate for her to get married so early. Of course, getting engaged is also inappropriate. Our Xiaoyu still needs to continue to develop herself in the future and will not consider marriage for the time being."

The smile on Li Xuemei's face suddenly froze.

Could she not hear it? If Fang Anmin wanted to, would he have to say so much? The two families were already well matched. Who wouldn't be optimistic about them?

Li Xuemei was speechless.

Fang Anmin asked the nanny to add more tea and placed it in front of Li Xuemei. As if sensing her change in mood, he added, "Our Xiaoyu is still young. There are other people in Youcheng, right? I'm sure we can find someone more suitable. Our Xiaoyu really doesn't want to get married right now."

He couldn't let Lin Hao harm his daughter.

Lin Hao's private life is so chaotic. If he marries their daughter, who can control him?

What will happen if they squander all their wealth? Will they have to clean up the mess themselves?

But he couldn't just say he didn't like Lin Hao, otherwise Li Xuemei would be unhappy.

The two families have a good relationship. If the relationship breaks down, it will do them more harm than good.

So I can only give you a subtle reminder.

Li Xuemei was still a little embarrassed. There were many families with good backgrounds in Youcheng, but the Lin family was the most familiar to her. She also knew what people outside thought of her son. It was even harder to find someone outside.

So she could only say, "Oh... yes, Xiaoyu is still young, but I hope both children can make progress together. As for... marriage, we can talk about it later..."

Li Xuemei said this to ease her embarrassment.

She really didn't want Fang Yu to find someone else. The daughter-in-law their family liked most was Fang Yu.

She looked down on all the other women. Fang Yu was so outstanding. Her genes were good, and her future children would be even better. She wanted to improve their family's genes.

Lin Hao's outside women are all after money. They can't give them any benefits. If they marry outside women, wouldn't that be a poverty alleviation marriage for their family?

Who would like a poverty alleviation marriage?

Yu Linlin's hands were a little uneasy. After looking at Fang Anmin, she continued, "We'll discuss this later. Fang Yu wants to pursue further studies, and she hasn't planned to get married yet."

Li Xuemei: "Our Lin Hao can also wait."
