Countdown to Awakening

Ma Hui looked at Sun Pandi.

She has a well-proportioned figure, a big butt, is pretty, and can give birth to a son... Maybe I'll have a son soon after I marry her...

From beginning to end, the obscene expression on his face never changed.

Girls this age are easy to trick. If their families don't value them, won't they be desperate for love from other men? Just a few sweet words and a bit of patience will surely win them over.

"Pandi, let's not talk about anything else. You and uncle are the most suitable. Although uncle is old, he is caring. How many people want to introduce their daughters to uncle, right? Uncle has fallen for you. Isn't that fate? Uncle will definitely treat you well." Ma Hui took advantage of Qi Yuanyuan's absence to pua her.

Unexpectedly, a male voice sounded in the distance: "Who said she is the best match for you? How shameless!"

This voice belonged to Zheng Haifeng.

Ma Hui turned his head and saw a tall man walking quickly towards him from the crowd.

He was speechless for a moment.

Zheng Haifeng continued, "Uncle Ma, how could you possibly be the perfect match for Pan Di? Pan Di and I have already secretly decided to spend our lives together. Aren't you just trying to break us up?"

Sun Pandi thought he was going to say something, but she didn't expect him to say this...Secretly getting married? How come I didn't know about this?

Sun Pandi stared at Zheng Haifeng with wide eyes. No, you didn't tell me in advance...

Zheng Haifeng gave her a wink.

She understood immediately. If she didn't cooperate with Zheng Haifeng, Chen Juan might immediately betroth her to Xu Tianzhuang or Ma Hui...

This wasn't the development she wanted, so she might as well just go along with what he said.

The villagers present were all shocked. A secret marriage? Was the village going to have another Liu Yingdi?

Sun Pandi also echoed, "Actually, we just didn't say it out loud. Today, Uncle Ma, since you want me to marry you, then I have no choice but to speak out. The person I will marry in the future is Zheng Haifeng. Uncle Ma, it's really hard for me to accept your blessing. It's not mine, and I don't deserve it."

Qi Yuanyuan then came over to smooth things over, "That's right, Uncle Ma, you and Tianzhuang shouldn't get involved. Pan Di and Zheng Haifeng grew up together, so it's normal for them to be in love with each other. We should just wish them well."

Chen Juan's face turned green as she listened.

This damn girl is really good at making trouble! She came out to mess up my good thing at the critical moment! I asked her to choose one and she didn't choose. Instead, she insisted on saying that she was secretly engaged to that poor-looking Zheng Haifeng?

She quickly stood up and explained, "That's not true. My daughter is just talking nonsense. How can we become relatives with Zheng Haifeng?"

Her words were full of disgust.

Indeed, she looked down on the Zheng family, who were left without a pillar after their husband died. A widow and orphan certainly couldn't afford the bride price. They might even have to pay out of pocket... It would be more cost-effective to let that money-loser marry Ma Hui or Tian Zhuang. She could still get a bride price, but what would she get by marrying Zheng Haifeng?

Ma Hui's face darkened. Now the whole village knew he was a one-man show, and Sun Pandi had no intention of marrying him at all...

Tian Zhuang also didn't believe that Sun Pan Di would secretly get married to Zheng Haifeng. Didn't Pan Di like him? She even glanced at him last time. How could she not be in love?

"Mom, I don't agree. Pan Di is my wife. Please tell me quickly!" Tian Zhuang was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan.

Sister Jin glared at Tianzhuang.

Tianzhuang didn't dare to speak.

The villagers also looked at the joke.

"So, Pan Di, you and Haifeng have already thought about it? Oh, I agree with this. Haifeng and Pan Di are a perfect match. Unlike some people who force a relationship..." The man did not forget to look at Ma Hui after he said this.

Ma Hui glared at Chen Juan.

Chen Juan was immediately at a loss. She let this damn girl come, and she actually slapped her in the face!

Because there were so many people around, Chen Juan could only stare at her. Then she said, "You want to marry Zheng Haifeng? No way! Don't even think about it unless your father and I agree!"

Chen Juan said this very loudly, almost shouting.

Sun Pandi didn't think it was a big deal. After all, she was just cooperating with Zheng Haifeng in the performance.

After the crowd dispersed, she and Zheng Haifeng whispered "thank you"

Zheng Haifeng looked at her and went about his own business.

Sun Pandi and Qi Yuanyuan returned to the kitchen to help. Qi Yuanyuan smiled and asked, "How is it going? Are you going to marry Zheng Haifeng in the future? You said so."

Sun Pandi's cheeks were slightly flushed, and it seemed to have even gone all the way to her ears... "Yuanyuan, stop talking. I was just cooperating with him in a play."

Qi Yuanyuan didn't believe it at all. "Then tell me, what kind of person is Zheng Haifeng?" As soon as she finished speaking, Sun Pandi hesitated.

"Go ahead. I've noticed that you like him a long time ago. I tell you, he must like you too. Those who are involved in the matter are often confused, while those who are not involved can see things more clearly." Qi Yuanyuan smiled after she finished speaking.

At this moment, the chef who was cooking interrupted and said, "Are you two the girls who got into college?"

That rough male voice really stunned both of them.

Qi Yuanyuan still politely replied "yes." The chef sighed after hearing this, "I can't believe it! Women are just as capable as men. You two are truly promising."

The two smiled.

"Youcheng University is the best university in the provincial capital. I heard that this year the top scorer in liberal arts in our province was admitted to Youcheng University. I also heard that this provincial top scorer is a girl. Now it really proves the saying that women hold up half the sky." The chef talked incessantly.

Qi Yuanyuan thought about it. She and Sun Pandi were ranked pretty high. She had never thought that there would be a female top scholar in this era...

My grandmother told me that in their time, few families sent their daughters to school, so female top scorers were rare.

But she hadn't expected that this year's top scorer was actually from the same university as her. She had to go meet him if she had the chance...

Seeing that the two were silent, the chef did not continue.

Qi Yuanyuan and Sun Pandidi stayed in the kitchen to help.

After a while, Liang Xiaocui suddenly came in and took Qi Yuanyuan out.

Qi Yuanyuan was completely confused after being dragged out. She asked in confusion, "What's wrong, Mom? What's the matter that's making you so anxious?"

Liang Xiaocui said, "Did you just say something to Ma Hui again? Then Ma Hui found your father and scolded him."

"I didn't say anything. Ma Hui wanted to..." Before she finished speaking, Liang Xiaocui said, "That's none of your business. It's their business. Don't get involved in other people's affairs in the future, or we won't get into trouble ourselves..."

Qi Yuanyuan nodded reluctantly.

"Come with me to your grandfather's place." Liang Xiaocui then got to the point.

When Qi Yuanyuan thought about what happened last time at her grandfather's house, she was a little resistant, but Liang Xiaocui insisted that she go, and she couldn't refuse, so she was dragged over.

-

Liang Xiaocui brought Qi Yuanyuan to Qi Xuzong happily.

"Dad, you've been waiting for a long time," she said.

Then, Liang Xiaocui turned to Qi Yuanyuan and said, "Call for help."

Qi Yuanyuan smiled and said to Qi Xuzong, "Grandpa." Then she called the others one by one.

Wang Ning looked impatient.

A girl got into university and even held a wedding banquet in the village. Even if she got into university, she would still have to get married, so it would be better to give the spot to her brother. Her cousin was the one who could continue the Qi family's bloodline.

Seeing Wang Ning like this, Qi Yuanyuan asked knowingly, "Aunt, why do you look like that? Are you not happy that I got into college? That shouldn't be the case..."

Wang Ning was stunned. She hadn't expected Qi Yuanyuan to suddenly ask her a question...

"No, no. I'm just so happy that I don't know what to say." Even though she was unwilling in her heart, she still pretended to be indifferent and answered Qi Yuanyuan.
