Countdown to Awakening

Chen Juan looked at Tian Zhuang distressedly and asked, "My dear, what's wrong? How come there aren't many years left?"

"To be honest, he has some health problems. The doctor said he can only live for four more years at most. I'm anxious to find him a wife. I only have this one son, and I'm heartbroken that he's almost dead. If he doesn't get married, won't the family line be cut off? Juan'er, you don't mind this, right?"

Chen Juan waved her hands and replied, "Oh, I don't mind. It doesn't matter who she marries. It's all the same. I don't care about that money-loser. I was even afraid that you would mind that Ma Hui had broken off the engagement with my daughter before..."

Sister Jin was quite generous, expressing her satisfaction with her future daughter-in-law. She said that if she were like the one from the Qi family, with her bad temper and sharp tongue, she would be hard to handle. In comparison, Pan Di was more to her liking.

Moreover, she saw that Sun Pandi had a good figure and would be able to give birth to a son after marrying into the family. As long as she could leave a son, she would be satisfied, and she would not ask for anything else.

Her son only has a few more years to live. As long as someone leaves him a son, her son can rest in peace.

Alas, her son is also a person with a miserable life. He had a fever and damaged his brain, so no one wanted to marry him. He was supposed to marry a wife and enjoy a peaceful life, but now he doesn't even have a wife...

Chen Juan naturally had no problem with this. She wished that the money-loser would have a bad life... She would feel bad if she married a fool.

In Chen Juan's eyes, Sun Pandi was a disaster and a bad luck. She hoped that Sun Pandi would leave and marry somewhere else so that she could collect some betrothal gifts to support her son's education and future marriage.

Her son was the most important thing. Sun Pandi, that money-loser, could go wherever she wanted. It would be best if she died outside...out of sight and out of mind.

"Then we will be relatives in the future..." Sister Jin couldn't stop smiling.

This trip was not in vain, he picked up a daughter-in-law and took her home. Her son will be blessed to have such a beautiful daughter-in-law at home.

It's a pity that Pan Di has to go to college and can't stay in the village. Pan Di's college stay is exactly four years, and her son can only live for another four years at most... This doesn't seem right...

Sister Jin had another request: "Mother-in-law, how about letting Pan Di and Tian Zhuang get married first, and then asking her to give birth to a son for Tian Zhuang, and then let him go to school? You know Tian Zhuang's situation. If he doesn't have a son, his life will be in vain..."

Chen Juan also laughed when she heard this. She was worried about how to deal with Sun Pandi, that money-loser... This method would not only allow that money-loser to get married sooner, but also prevent her from going to college...

"That's fine. Let's discuss what to do after the banquet is over." Chen Juan said with a smile.

Sister Jin nodded.

As they were chatting, Ma Hui suddenly came.

"Hey, what are you talking about? Why are all the in-laws invited? They are so close? I'm not talking about Degui's wife, but why do you think your Pan Di feels wronged by marrying me? Or do you think the betrothal gift I gave is not enough? Otherwise, why did you break off the engagement and refuse to marry Pan Di to me?" Ma Hui asked.

Chen Juan's smile suddenly faded. What a coincidence! Why is he here?

As soon as she saw Ma Hui, Chen Juan remembered what happened between her and Ma Hui at his house that afternoon...

It's really shameful... It's all because of that money-loser that she had to do that at her age just to pay back the money...

Chen Juan didn't dare to look Ma Hui in the eye. Once she looked at him, she would think of that incident.

"Hey, why are you silent? You were originally my, Ma Hui's, mother-in-law. I don't know what happened. You would rather give your daughter to that idiot than to me... Do you have a grudge against me? Or are you deliberately making things difficult for my Ma family?" Ma Hui questioned.

"No, no, isn't it the village chief who doesn't want to? The thing was almost done, wasn't the village chief unwilling? You know that too. It's not me who doesn't want to, it's the village chief and the others." Chen Juan said while silently muttering in her heart: It's not me or me, it's all the fault of that money-losing guy and the village chief!

Ma Hui smiled.

Sister Jin couldn't stand anyone calling her son a fool. Her son was not a fool!

"Ma Hui, you're going too far! How can my son be called a fool? How can you call him that? My son is just in poor health..."

Ma Hui said disdainfully: "You're not in good health? Then why marry a wife? You won't live long, so why marry her and make her a widow? You might as well just die early. Oh, don't end up like Widow Zhang's husband, dying young..."

Sister Jin was very angry. Ma Hui had everything he needed, so why did he want to compete with others for his wife?

He already has two sons. The eldest, Ma Jie, is fifteen years old, and the younger, Ma Qiang, is four. How could he not be satisfied? He just wants to compete with others for women, right?

Sister Jin didn't dare to retort Ma Hui.

Unexpectedly, Ma Hui shouted loudly: "Everyone come and see, Degui's wife would rather marry her to a fool than to me. If you don't know, you would think I have a grudge against their Sun family..."

Everyone was attracted by the voice.

They kept pointing and talking as usual, looking like they were watching a show, even though the matter had nothing to do with them.

Everyone knows that the Sun family has the most things to do, and this time there will be something interesting to watch!

"Ma Hui, stop talking..." Chen Juan warned quietly. She was afraid that Ma Hui would reveal the story between her and him. If that story came out, she would really want to find a hole to hide in...

How can such a thing be exposed to the light...

Ma Hui is fine, but she will be scolded to death... She might even be dragged to the pig cage...

"How can my son be a fool? Shut up!" Sister Jin tried to stop him, but it was no use. She didn't dare to anger Ma Hui.

Ma Hui has influence and power in the town. He will definitely make things difficult for her son...

"You are not allowed to call me a fool. I am not a fool!" Tian Zhuang said to Ma Hui.

Ma Hui shrugged.

If he isn't a fool, who is? Tianzhuang is not even as good as his youngest son. Isn't he just a fool? He is older than his eldest son, but his IQ is not as good as his eldest son. How can someone who doesn't even have a brain not be a fool?

"Why are you still anxious, little fool? I advise you to give up. You and Pan Di are not suitable. Your family's money is not enough for mine. I can afford a lot of betrothal gifts, not to mention a few hundred, even thousands or tens of thousands I can afford. What about you? What can you give?"

When Sister Jin heard him talk about her son like this, she was helpless and didn't dare to refute him.

Everyone laughed at the excitement.

Isn't the Sun family usually very talkative? Why is it that they are speechless after meeting Ma Hui?

It seems that there is always a way out...

"How about it, mother-in-law, how about you betroth your daughter Pan Di to me?"

Chen Juan was not happy about this.

Even though Ma Hui gave them a lot of money and could help them, it still didn't make sense. After all, she and Ma Hui had slept together, and she was giving Sun Pandi to him as his wife? How could that be possible?

He really knows how to take advantage. He wants his mother-in-law and his daughter? How is that possible?!

It would be better to give the money-losing item to that idiot Tian Zhuang, at least it wouldn't be too embarrassing...

If Ma Hui really became her son-in-law, and if he let the cat out of the bag one day, wouldn't that be the end? She would have a handle on the money-loser...

Absolutely not!

Seeing that she didn't speak, Ma Hui threatened her with his eyes.

Chen Juan was naturally afraid that he would say those shameful things, so she quickly tried to smooth things over, saying, "Ma Hui, you know, it's not that we don't agree, my daughter doesn't want to either, and the village chief is in charge too. How can she be your daughter-in-law?"

Ma Hui sneered, "Oh? So you want this idiot to be your son-in-law? Look at this, everyone. It's really strange. You don't want a normal person, but a fool?"
