Countdown to Awakening

It's okay, at least someone got in. Someone had fulfilled his and Yingdi's wishes.

Whenever he thought of Zheng Haifeng and Pan Di, he could imagine himself and Ying Di. If they ended up together, it would make up for their regrets.

Thinking of this, tears welled up in Jiang Wen's eyes.

Evening, Chen's house.

"You three, kneel down!" Tao Lai Di sat on a chair and looked maliciously at Yingdi, her mother and daughter who were kneeling in front of her.

"Mom, she's married into our family but she's still not behaving herself. She's still having an affair with that Jiang Wen." Chen Jiade fanned the flames.

Yingdi's two daughters, one on each side, were confused. They both looked at their mother, wondering why she had to kneel. Tear marks were visible on Zhaodi's aggrieved face.

Tao Lai Di, sitting on the chair, was very angry. She pointed at Ying Di and cursed, "You shameless bitch! You're already a mother, but you're still in contact with other men. What do you want? Did our family spend money to marry you in so that you can have an affair with other men?"

Yingdi raised her head and met her mother-in-law's gaze. "I didn't. He came to see me because the school was short of teachers. He wanted me to teach there..."

Chen Jiade looked at her with disdain. After all, his family was here, and Liu Yingdi was alone. Was he afraid of losing the fight? If all else failed, he could just use force. Just don't let them find out. Then he said casually, "No? I see you've been waiting for this day for a long time. Liu Yingdi, why don't you think about it? Of all the people in the village, why did he call you? Why didn't he call anyone else? Isn't it because he still misses you? You too, alas... it's my fault for breaking up this star-crossed couple..."

There was a sarcasm in his words.

Yingdi dared not to say anything, after all, if Chen Jiade got angry, she would be in trouble, and Chen Jiade's mother was beside her.

Although she didn't say anything, she had already cursed him in her heart.

Don't you even look at the kind of person you are? If he knew he was the one who broke up her and Jiang Wen, why did he do that to get her pregnant? And why did he marry her? And now he's even saying it was all for her?

I really don’t understand!

She thought so, but didn't dare say it out loud.

Seeing that she didn't respond, Chen Jiade got angry again. "What do you mean? You dare to ignore me?"

"You have no manners at all! Think about it, you have been married for so many years, but you still can't give birth to a son! I'm still waiting to hold my grandson...you useless thing!" said the mother-in-law impatiently.

"If this baby is still a girl, throw it into the tower on the mountain. Don't stop until you give birth to a son! If that doesn't work, divorce me!"

Yingdi started getting nervous when she heard about the divorce. If she got divorced, she would be looked down upon. Her family would think she was unlucky and dislike her, and it would be embarrassing for her. Everyone would look down on her, and it would be difficult for her to find another partner...

"Mom... I can't get a divorce... If I do, my life will be over. You know how divorced women are. They're as unpopular as grass. I won't get a divorce..."

When the mother-in-law heard this, she immediately became excited. She said, "There's always someone Liu Yingdi is afraid of." See, isn't that right? Divorce is much more disreputable than widowhood. It's okay for men; remarried people can quickly find new wives, but it's different for women. Who would respect them then?

"Hmph, then why don't you give birth to a son... Look at that unlucky belly of yours. You've already given birth to two daughters. If you can't give birth to another one, our Chen family won't recognize you as our daughter-in-law." Tao Lai Di looked arrogant.

"Mom, it's not entirely my fault that I can't give birth to a son. After all, having children is not up to me alone..." After she said this, she looked at Chen Jiade cautiously.

"Oh, are you saying that my son is not good enough? What? The child crawled out of your belly, and you blame my son? Oh, this is terrible! It's just that you are not good enough. How come I can give birth to a son but you can't? Blame yourself if you want to blame someone! Look at other people's daughters-in-law, their first child is a son. Why can't you do it? Other people's daughters-in-law still go to the fields to work, wash clothes and cook. But you are so spoiled. When I was Huai Jiade, I did all kinds of work. Why can't you do it? How precious are you? You can't do anything after studying for a few years? I shouldn't have married you in the first place! You can't even give birth to a son! What a jinx!" The mother-in-law snorted coldly after she finished speaking.

After a moment of silence, she continued, "I'm telling you, you're now the daughter-in-law of my Chen family. Stop associating with that Jiang Wen. Don't be so shameless. I still want you to be shameless! You're the daughter-in-law of my Chen family. If someone doesn't know, they might think you're having something going on with him..."

Yingdi fell silent. It was no use explaining. No one would listen. So she simply said nothing.

After the mother-in-law finished speaking, she stood up. Even then, she still glared at her two granddaughters. The two girls were just as disappointing as their mother!

Only after her mother-in-law left did she struggle to get up. Her knees ached from kneeling for so long. She bent down again, pulled her two daughters up, and then rubbed her knees.

Chen Jiade glanced at her. It hurts after kneeling for just a short time? Such a pretentious thing!

Then he casually picked up a dirty piece of clothing and threw it in front of Yingdi. "Remember to wash it tomorrow. Just because you're pregnant doesn't mean you can't wash clothes and cook. It's good that I didn't ask you to work in the fields. My mother has a hard time every day. You should help her more. She has to work in the fields and take care of the housework. If not you, who will help her? This is what you should do."

Seeing that she was unmoved, Chen Jiade added: "No, don't look at me, this is what you should do. I am a grown man, why would I do this? If I did this, why would I marry you?"

Yingdi ignored him, picked up the clothes on the ground and walked towards the room.

——Harmonious family.

Qi Rongfeng grinned from ear to ear. He looked at the small stack of invitations on the table and praised his daughter, "Yuanyuan, you really bring honor to the Qi family and me... Look at the colors... How festive. Hahaha..."

Qi Yuanyuan also laughed.

"This time, your uncle's family has really impressed us." Qi Rongfeng smiled and recalled the past. This time, he could finally hold his head high.

At first, my eldest brother's family looked down on them. They constantly complained about their family having only daughters. They also felt that having a daughter meant they had no future. They compared Yuanyuan to their son, saying that their son would definitely get into college. Once Yuanyuan got married, she would belong to someone else's family. They mocked them for not having anyone to take care of their funeral arrangements...

Now the situation is reversed. His daughter Yuanyuan got into university, but their son can't even find a wife...

The more Qi Rongfeng thought about it, the happier he became. Liang Xiaocui also picked up an invitation and looked at it. Although she didn't recognize the words on it, she knew that the invitation was for someone else and it was a happy event.

"Yuanyuan, now that you've been admitted to university, your parents will feel more at ease if you find someone to marry in the future. Do you understand?" Liang Xiaocui suddenly brought up something irrelevant.

The smile on Qi Yuanyuan's face suddenly disappeared.

"Mom...don't worry about this for now. Am I only valuable after I get married?"

Qi Rongfeng followed suit, saying, "Yuanyuan, everyone lives this way. How can you be different? If you don't get married, our family will be laughed at... Do you want to watch us being laughed at? Others will also say you're an unwanted old maid who can't get married."

"Mom and Dad, please don't talk about this anymore. I hope to let nature take its course and forget about it if I can't find it."

Qi Yuanyuan didn't know what to say. She knew these two people were oppressed by the secular world and couldn't escape it. These thoughts trapped them, preventing them from being their true selves.

Twenty-five years from now, something as serious as the sky will fall will happen... By then, let alone getting married, even living will be difficult...

She knew best how she died.
