Countdown to Awakening

Qi Xuzong, who was sitting on a stool, glanced at Wang Ning. Wang Ning noticed the old man's gaze and said, "Yuanyuan, don't think too much. Auntie is really happy for you. It doesn't mean anything else..."

Qi Yuanyuan looked at Wang Ning like a weasel offering New Year's greetings to a chicken. She didn't believe a word he said. How could Wang Ning truly be happy for her? She must be hoping that she wouldn't pass the exam and get married early to live a hard life!

But she couldn't say it directly in front of so many people, so she could only be polite. Otherwise, others would say she was ignorant.

Afterwards, Qi Xuzong asked his eldest son Qi Ronghua to take out a red envelope and handed it to Qi Yuanyuan. Qi Yuanyuan politely said "thank you grandpa".

Wang Ning's face turned green when he saw this.

A little girl, just got into college. What's she so proud of?! The money was given by her husband, and she's thanking the old man? How scheming!

Liang Xiaocui seemed to have seen through Wang Ning's thoughts and sent Qi Yuanyuan back to the kitchen to help while she continued chatting with them.

"Sister-in-law, you don't look well. Are you... feeling unwell? Please find a place to sit down." Liang Xiaocui asked.

Wang Ning ignored her. Qi Xuzong said, "Big Boss's wife, you should go to the kitchen and help."

Wang Ning wanted to say something, but hesitated. Forget it, the second brother's daughter was now in the limelight, so even if she said something flowery, it would be useless!

"Second son's wife, where is Rongfeng?" Qi Xuzong asked.

Liang Xiaocui hesitated for a moment before answering, "Dad, he's chatting with the men in the village. Why don't you go find them too? It'll be lively."

Qi Xuzong shook his head. "Forget it, let him talk. You can go to the kitchen and help."

After Liang Xiaocui left, Qi Ronghua was a little dissatisfied.

"Dad, didn't you see how arrogant the second son's family is? They think their daughter is so great just because she passed the exam. They even dare to talk back to my wife. Even if my wife is not good enough, they still have to call her sister-in-law, right? They simply don't take me seriously!"

Qi Xuzong sighed and replied, "Forget it, don't say anything. Who made him pass the exam? If you have the ability, why don't you make your son pass the exam too? You don't have time to criticize others."

Isn't this embarrassing for him? Which of his sons can pass the exam?

Qi Ronghua turned his beads and immediately revealed a flattering expression, saying, "Dad, Wang Ning and I have come up with a very good idea, but I don't know if you agree."

Qi Xuzong turned to look at Qi Ronghua and nodded for him to continue.

Qi Ronghua then continued, "It's like this. Doesn't the second son's family have a son? Then won't the funeral arrangements have to be handled by my nephew? That's my son...his little girl is useless, right? She'll get married in the future and belong to someone else sooner or later. As long as you take the initiative and ask Yuanyuan to give up her place to her cousin, everything will be easy. As long as the university place goes to her cousin, it will still belong to our Qi family."

Qi Xuzong glared at him after hearing this. "What kind of dirty trick are you pulling out? You can't do that! You can say anything!"

Qi Ronghua said with a face full of grievance: "Dad, I'm not wrong. Anyway, his daughter will get married sooner or later, so she will belong to someone else's family sooner or later. Why not give the quota to her cousin? In the future, the nephew will have to take care of the second son's funeral, and his girl won't be able to handle the funeral..."

Seeing Qi Xuzong didn't say anything, Qi Ronghua continued, "I've actually inquired about this matter. It's a little troublesome to find someone, but it's easy to find. When Yuanyuan gets married, we can just give a betrothal gift, right? What's so difficult about that? Your grandson is Yuanyuan's cousin, a legitimate descendant of the Qi family... How can she just watch her cousin go on to have no chance of finding a wife?"

Li Zhaodi also laughed after listening to this. Her eldest son was really amazing...

"Ronghua, you are still thoughtful. But if the quota is only given to Qingyang, what will Qingguang do? Qingguang will be concerned about it. Let's not talk about your youngest son for now, but what about the two older sons? We have to treat them equally." Li Zhaodi asked doubtfully.

In short, her eldest grandson must not suffer any loss!

Qi Qingguang also echoed, "Yes, grandma, if you give it to my eldest brother, what will happen to me? I am also your grandson. Can you bear to see me being despised and unable to find a wife in the future?"

Li Zhaodi looked at Qi Qingguang distressedly. Oh, how could this be possible? These three grandsons were all her precious treasures...

Qi Ronghua glared at Qi Qingguang. "Everyone knows you two are grandsons! How could you be left out?" he asked. "How could you be so ignorant?"

Qi Qingguang noticed Qi Ronghua's gaze, so he didn't dare to speak.

Li Zhaodi had obviously thought of this as well. Then, she frowned slightly, as if she had come up with another good idea.

"Ronghua, it's not just the second son's daughter who got into college. Isn't the one from the Sun family also one? He also has a girl. Why don't we just take the Sun family's girl's place and ask the second son to give up Yuanyuan's place? Who knows who will go to college after this banquet? The Sun family, if you give them more money, things will naturally be done. Don't their family like money? Besides, I was the one who introduced Chen Juan to Degui. How could he not think about us?"

When Qi Ronghua heard this, he immediately thought this was a great idea. His mother must have a way. She could think of anything...

He knew his old mother couldn't help but love him. So, wasn't she already planning for her son? ...

Qi Xuzong shook his head. "No way. How can we do that? If it's yours, then you say you want it. You want everything!"

Qi Ronghua was upset after being criticized by Qi Xuzong. Was he still his father? Was he biased towards the second son just because the girl from the second son's family got into college? No way!

"Dad... this is a great opportunity, why not? Isn't Yuanyuan also from the Qi family? Isn't her family from the Qi family? So what's wrong with her giving up her spot? Is she so cruel to watch her own cousin not be able to get married after not going to college? Dad, Qingyang and Qingguang are the descendants of the Qi family. That girl must get married..."

"Shut up! You said you can't move, right? You can't move, no matter how I say it, you won't listen. Even if Yuanyuan is getting married and is from another family, so what? I said you can't move, so you can't move!" Qi Xuzong felt that they had already let the second brother's family down. After all, the family property was not divided fairly back then...

Qi Ronghua was very angry, but he couldn't get angry with the old man directly.

Qi Qingguang interrupted, "Why not, Grandpa? Yuanyuan is our cousin after all. Can you bear to watch us two brothers go without wives?"

Qi Xuzong glared at him.

——The banquet started soon.

Everyone sat down. After listening to the village chief's words, Qi Rongfeng and his three children went from table to table to toast.

First, it was the table of the most respected elders in the village, and they all gave their sincere blessings.

How can it not be considered an honor to have three college graduates in the village? Only the two from the Sun family feel ashamed. Normal people wouldn't think it's shameful, right?

After a few greetings, Qi Rongfeng took the children to the next table to toast.

It was the same situation. The people in the Sun family looked down on Sun Panddi. Zheng Haifeng's mother didn't quite understand this, so Qi Rongfeng naturally became the representative of the three children.
