Countdown to Awakening

Zhao Zhikang was leaning on a cane, his eyes fixed on the sky outside the house.

He had witnessed countless times the changing of the seasons, the drizzle, the heavy snow, and the blazing sun, from azure to orange.

With a "clang", Zhao Zhikang's crutch fell to the ground.

"Dad...what's wrong with you?" His son Zhao Fu came out and helped Zhao Zhikang up.

Health Center——

Zhao Zhikang raised his hand tremblingly, as if he had something left to say.

"Dad, we are all listening to what you have to say..."

Zhao Zhikang coughed and uttered a few words vaguely.

Zhao Fu leaned over to listen.

"I...I want to see Pan Di..." As soon as Zhao Zhikang finished speaking, tears slid onto the pillow.

Zhao Fu was in a dilemma. Where could he go to find Sun Pandi? But looking at his father's expression, he felt a little reluctant. Then he replied, "Wait, I'll go find Sun Pandi... I'll go find her and come back."

Zhao Fu got up and just about to leave the ward, but was stopped by his wife.

"Stop! What are you doing? Where are you going to find Sun Pandi? She's busy at the Qi family. Where are you going to find her? She might not even come!"

"Dad is running out of time. Sun Pandi's tuition is paid by dad. What reason does she have not to come to see her? Don't stop me!" Zhao Fu was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan.

He ran out despite his wife's attempts to stop him.

A lot has happened in the Qi family recently. Qi's father fell ill and passed away.

Upon hearing the news, Qi Ronghua's family rushed over and wanted to divide up the inheritance left by Qi Rongfeng.

On the day of the funeral, Qi Yuanyuan ignored everyone's objections and wore mourning clothes for her father, holding the spirit tablet in her hands and carrying a mourning stick, leading the funeral procession forward.

Qi Ronghua's family certainly couldn't stand this. According to the rules, Qi Yuanyuan should follow behind the coffin. After all, Qi Qingyang was Qi Rongfeng's eldest nephew and should stand first.

The Qi family is in chaos right now.

"Yuanyuan... look at you... how could a little girl like you take Qingyang's place? He is the first male in the Qi family, and it is only right for him to wear mourning for his uncle. You... you... you are so unreasonable."

So many days have passed, but Qi Ronghua is still brooding over it.

"Dad, please stop talking. Yuanyuan is my second uncle's daughter. Even if she wants to be in the first place, what does it matter? Even if I'm your second uncle's nephew, I can't be as close to you as your own daughter."

Qi Qingyang's wife also came to persuade Qi Ronghua.

Qi Yuanyuan, dressed in white, sat on a chair, while Sun Pandi sat beside her to comfort her.

Those dregs should have been abolished long ago! As Qi Rongfeng's daughter, what's wrong with her being the first?

Wang Ning was even more ignorant and came to Qi Yuanyuan.

"You heartless little thing! Your big brother should be the one standing first. What qualifications do you, a little girl, have? Even an outsider like Zheng Haifeng is qualified to stand with Qingyang and the others. What are you thinking?"

"Heh... All the expenses for my father's burial were paid for by the three of us. What did you contribute? What right do you have to share my house and money?"

Wang Ning said confidently, "Because I gave birth to the eldest son of the Qi family, because I added a male to the Qi family! Because our family has a son! What's the use of a girl like you? You still have to get married in the future. Even if you graduate from college and find a job now, you will still be someone else's daughter-in-law!"

Qi Qingyang had just defeated Qi Ronghua and rushed to Wang Ning.

"Mom! What are you talking about? Second Uncle has passed away, so let's not make things difficult for Second Aunt and Yuanyuan. I don't even want to know how much money Second Uncle left behind, or who his house was left to... Yuanyuan is his daughter, so shouldn't she be the one to take the money?"

Wang Ning then scolded his son. "You silly boy, what's there to be afraid of just because your second uncle has a little girl? He has no son, so this money and this house should be left to you! If you had fought for it, you could have been in this position! Why would you let this little girl stand here?"

"I do not care!"

Qi Qingyang's wife also came to comfort Qi Yuanyuan. "Yuanyuan, don't worry about it. That's just how our parents are. Don't worry, Qingyang and I won't take a penny from our second uncle's family, and we won't take this house either."

Qi Yuanyuan knew that Qi Qingyang was a sensible man. Qi Qingyang and his wife were afraid that she didn't have enough money for Qi Rongfeng's burial, so they secretly gave her a lot of money.

Qi Ronghua and his wife naturally didn't know about this.

After a while, Zhao Fu came over rolling and crawling.

He looked at Sun Pandi breathlessly and said, "Pandi girl...my dad is looking for you...he doesn't have much time left and wants to see you one last time. Hurry...come with me quickly..."

Sun Pandi stood up suddenly.

"What? The village chief..."

Qi Yuanyuan whispered in her ear, "It's okay. You and Zheng Haifeng can go together. The village chief must be worried about you. Bring Zheng Haifeng with you so he can see that someone is taking care of you. He'll feel relieved. I'm here. You can go without worries."

Everyone was in disbelief.

How come so many big things happened recently? First Qi Rongfeng passed away, and now the village chief is also gone...

Wang Ning muttered quietly, "Tsk, it must be that little girl Qi Yuanyuan who insisted on standing in front of the team, blocking the village's feng shui. That's why the village chief left..."

Sun Pandi took Zheng Haifeng and Zhao Fu away together.

Wang Ning continued, "Oh, why are you so busy lately? Maybe someone has disturbed the village's feng shui... Maybe the whole village will suffer..."

Qi Qingyang turned his head and looked at her.

Wang Ning instantly lost his momentum.

……

His eldest son was just stupid. Back then, he and Qingguang were asked to take up the university places for Qi Yuanyuan and Sun Pandi. He shouldn't be so blind...

I thought they treated him as their brother, huh, I don't see how kind they are.

Such an unruly girl...

However, Qi Yuanyuan had a bad temper, so Wang Ning could only complain in his heart.

No matter what, the second brother must take the house away. If she can't persuade the eldest son, she still has a second son.

"Qingyang, don't blame Mom for being partial. It's you who don't want this house. Second Uncle has no sons, so this house will end up in the hands of you two brothers. If you take it, you and your wife will live in this room in the future. But you don't want it, so I can only give it to your younger brother."

After Qi Qingguang heard about this, he immediately ran to Wang Ning happily.

"Mom...really? I haven't found a wife yet. Now that my second uncle is gone, this house will be perfect for me to marry. Then I can finally find a wife."

Wang Ning looked at his second son with relief.

"Yes, Qingguang. That's the money I left behind, and it's going to end up in the hands of you two brothers. His brother doesn't want anything, so doesn't that mean I can only give it to you?"

Who made Qi Rongfeng have no son?
