Countdown to Awakening

Liu Yingdi glanced at Chen Jiade, and then continued to coax the child in her arms.

When Chen Jiade saw that she ignored him, the fire in his heart instantly ignited again. She actually didn't listen to him? She has been married for so long and she is becoming more and more ignorant of the rules!

But she was pregnant, so she couldn't do anything. If he hit her in the face and everyone saw him, he'd be done for. There were still some Women's Federations in town these days... Otherwise, Chen Jiade would have to teach her a lesson!

He could only glare at Liu Yingdi.

He just couldn't understand. After marrying her into the family, he couldn't beat her if she made a mistake. Who made that rule?

Not understanding, he had no choice but to go outside with the cigarette.

Liu Yingdi finally breathed a sigh of relief. It was good that he was out. He wouldn't disturb them.

——Harmonious family.

Qi Rongfeng smiled from ear to ear: "Yuanyuan, you've really brought honor to our family this time. You're the first college student in our family. This banquet must be well organized. The village chief wanted to host it with the three of you. After all, you're the first batch of college students in the village, and you three have a good relationship."

"Dad, I'll follow your arrangements." Qi Yuanyuan said with a smile.

Thinking back to when she applied to a second-tier university, she got into a key university in the province... Although it wasn't hers, she was still proud enough.

Liang Xiaocui suddenly said, "Rongfeng, look, Huang Ping came to our house today and said she wants to introduce a date to our Yuanyuan... Our Yuanyuan is going to college. Even if she wants to get married, she can't get married now."

"That Huang Ping said she was introducing other people to potential partners, but in fact she was just trying to benefit herself. Don't you see Yingdi and Chen Jiade? What was Yingdi like before she got married, and what is she like after she got married? Wasn't it Huang Ping who played matchmaker?" Qi Rongfeng said.

Everyone knows that Yingdi and Jiang Wen were in a relationship, and it was a consensual one. But her family insisted on breaking her up... and even forced her to do such a thing. What kind of life is she in now? Isn't it all because of them?

Liang Xiaocui said, "That's right. Even though we didn't know each other when we got married, times are different now. We can't just do anything for money, right? No matter what, Yuanyuan can't just get married off so rashly... We only have one child."

"Yuanyuan, your cousin, who is the same age as you, married a man ten years older than her a few years ago. Now her life is not easy." Liang Xiaocui said.

Qi Yuanyuan knew that her cousin was Qi Yue, the eldest daughter of her uncle.

At this point, Qi Rongfeng remembered something and said to Qi Yuanyuan, "Yuanyuan, go to Grandpa's house tomorrow. I've already written the invitation. It would show your sincerity if you go."

Qi Yuanyuan searched her mind for a while. Her grandfather didn't like Qi Rongfeng, so he lived with his uncle's family.

Let her go so she can see this weird family.

"Okay, Dad, I'll take you there." Qi Yuanyuan agreed.

Liang Xiaocui seemed a little unhappy when she heard this. After a sigh, she said, "When the family was divided, they gave us a little bit because we didn't have a son. Now Yuanyuan is the only one in the family who got into college. Let's see how they still look down on us..."

Liang Xiaocui showed an unhappy expression after she finished speaking.

Isn't it? When the family was divided, it was my eldest brother and his wife who instigated my parents to do this. Qi Rongfeng's parents didn't like him to begin with, and they fanned the flames, making it even harder for him to get anything.

Qi Rongfeng waved his hand and said, "It's all in the past. Don't mention it. Although our life is not very rich, it's not like we can't afford food. I'm already quite content."

Liang Xiaocui gradually said with grievance, "That's nice of you to say. You're her son, so of course you're fine. When your mother saw that I gave birth to a girl, I don't know how many times she looked down on me. Also, when I was in confinement, I had to work in the fields. I didn't even see a feather from the chicken my parents sent me."

Qi Rongfeng replied: "Yes, you also worked in the fields during your confinement period, and my father and I also worked hard outside. How many years have we separated now? Let's not talk about it anymore."

He frowned. He knew his wife was having a hard time, but what could he do? It had already happened. He'd argued with his mother about it, but it was pointless. Now that the family had split up, it was better to keep the matter to himself.

He never disliked the fact that his wife gave birth to a daughter.

Liang Xiaocui continued, "Your mother also ruined my body. She blames me for not being able to have a son...but didn't this girl get into university anyway? She's no worse than this boy."

Qi Rongfeng also sighed and said, "I know."

Qi Yuanyuan felt like she'd just eaten a melon. She hadn't expected that disliking girls was actually a thing in this day and age. She'd thought her grandmother was lying...

Then she scoffed a little.

What's wrong with a girl? She's the youngest and best teacher in the school... She's no worse than the male teachers.

She was determined to prove that girls could do it. One day, she would slam this wrong and backward thinking in the faces of those people...

Qi Rongfeng was silent for a long time before he spoke: "Go to bed early. Send the invitation to your grandfather tomorrow morning. It would be best if your uncle's family could see that my daughter passed the exam while his son didn't."

Qi Rongfeng's face was filled with pride as he said this. He was almost about to tell his parents in person.

But the situation at the Sun family on the other side was not like this.

"What? A wedding banquet? A wedding banquet for a crappy university? You didn't get into the best university in the world, so why hold a banquet? Why hold a banquet for a girl? It's a waste of time and money. It's better to leave this money for my son to use in the future." Chen Juan said something unpleasant as soon as she opened her mouth.

Wanting her to pay for that money-losing banquet? Wishful thinking! Last time, they caused their family to pay so much money to the Ma family, and they haven't even settled the bill yet. Now they want them to pay again? Wouldn't it be better to save the money for her son to get married? I really don't know what the village chief is thinking. Why is he so concerned about a little girl?

Speaking of the money she owed Ma Hui last time, she remembered something that was difficult to talk about...

It was clearly this money-loser who caused the family to owe money, yet she was forced to go to the Ma family to pay it back?! Thinking back to when she sneaked over to Ma Hui's house this afternoon to do that thing with him, her face flushed with shame...

This idea was proposed by Sun Degui... She is already old and still wants to...

The village chief felt a little uncomfortable as he watched the furious Chen Juan in front of him. He had indeed expected this. But...

"Chen Juan, don't be anxious. Aren't you happy that your daughter got into college? We are holding this wedding banquet to bless our three children. It's normal to ask you to pay..." The village chief tried to persuade Chen Juan, but Chen Juan didn't appreciate it at all.

"I won't pay. My family has no money. Holding a banquet for her? Won't it be someone else's in the future? What can I get? It's impossible for me to pay anyway!" After Chen Juan said this, it seemed that every word was written with sarcasm.

That money-loser had caused Sun Degui to suggest that she pay off her debts, and now he wanted to use her money to hold a wedding banquet?

The village chief sighed. He knew it.

So he changed his tone: "Chen Juan, you and Degui don't have to pay, since you don't want to anyway. But you still have to go to the banquet. After all, your daughter has been admitted to university. What will happen if you don't go?"

He was helpless. If the three children wanted to hold the wedding, they had to do it together, otherwise it would be easy to get criticized. But even if the Sun family refused to pay, they still had to show their support, right? Otherwise, it would be unreasonable. If Sun Pandi's parents didn't attend the banquet, people who didn't know would think that their village was ostracizing the Sun couple...which would also have a huge impact on Pandi.

No one knows what the Sun family will say behind her back. Maybe they'll say Pan Di is unfilial...

I was in a dilemma. If nothing else, I'd let them participate. That couple was just like that. Asking them to pay was impossible, even in my next life. The village had plenty of money anyway. It was just this once.

After all, they were the village chief's three most cherished children. It wouldn't be a big deal if they were given a bit of glory.
