Countdown to Awakening

Mengdi remained unmoved after hearing this and just continued to make a fire.

She didn't understand this, but she knew she just had to listen to her mom. She also didn't want her mom to work so hard. She always saw her mom doing tons of chores, and she never seemed tired... And her dad and grandma didn't feel bad for her either.

Although she was young, she knew that what her mother said was right. When she went out with her mother, she often heard other people in the village praise her mother, saying that she was hardworking and capable and a good woman.

It was at this time that Mengdi realized that being as hardworking and capable as her mother would earn her praise. So she wanted to be like her mother, to be praised by everyone. She wanted to help her mother more and also be praised by everyone.

Zhaodi kept crying on his back. Yingdi had no choice but to stop caring about her because the lunch in the pot was almost cooked.

"Ancestor, please stop crying. I know you are hungry. I am hungry too. I will eat soon. I will give you some rice porridge later." Yingdi said helplessly.

The banquet was almost over, and Qi Ronghua and his wife found Chen Juan and Sun Degui.

The couple said mysteriously, "Degui'er, I see your daughter has been admitted to university, but she is just a girl after all. It's useless for her to study. She will get married in the future. So, you can give your place to my Qingguang and let him go. It just so happens that my niece's place can be given to my Qingyang. In this way, both of our sons will go to university, and I will have found a good match. This will be quick. As for the money, just ask for it. It's not a big problem."

Chen Juan looked at Qi Ronghua and Wang Ning.

She actually felt that Qi Ronghua was much better than Qi Rongfeng. At least Qi Ronghua had three sons, so he would have someone to take care of him if anything happened in the future. Qi Rongfeng only had one daughter who got into university and was so proud of it... His Qi Yuanyuan had even led her daughter Pan Di astray.

"That's good. My loser's education is in vain anyway. I'll just give you the spot, and we can get back the money that the old man left for us. You don't know, that money was originally left to us by the old man, and now it's given to that loser. It's not worth it... I'm so angry. Now there's a way." Chen Juan said with an ugly expression.

Sun Degui was able to find a wife thanks to Wang Ning's mother-in-law, Li Zhaodi. He owed her a favor anyway.

Although Sun Degui didn't say anything, Chen Juan knew what he meant and he definitely supported this approach.

Qi Ronghua smiled immediately when he heard Chen Juan agreed. His son would soon go to college. With a college education, finding a job and a wife in the future wouldn't be a problem.

"Well, how do we negotiate the price? We'll give you as much as we can." Wang Ning said flatteringly.

Anyway, as long as she paid the price, she could buy it anyway. They were all from the same village, and she had already agreed to it, so how could she go back on her word? Besides, he couldn't ask for a higher price. After all, it was Li Zhaodi who brought them together... The second son's daughter was her niece. Did her family have to ask her for money just to get a spot? That didn't make sense. Wouldn't he just help the second son's family with a dowry? He only had one daughter, so what else could he do? Was having her own son important?

Her two sons will be able to handle the funeral affairs for the second son's family in the future. The second son is also the child's uncle. How can he not help his nephew for the sake of an outsider who will get married in the future?

"It's settled then." Wang Ning said.

Chen Juan thought for a moment and asked, "Who are you looking for? How did you find the connection?"

"I won't hide it from you. We have friends in town and we have a pretty good relationship with them. So we can find a way." Wang Ning replied.

In fact, it was just a government worker and some of her relatives. If you count her relatives before that, they were almost distant relatives...

"Really?" Chen Juan said with envy. She also wanted to have relatives and friends in the government so that her son would have a better chance in the future.

Qi Qingyang suddenly ran over. "Dad, Mom, what do you want? I don't want Yuanyuan's place. And don't buy Qingguang's place for Pandi. She worked so hard to get that place. How can you just sell it to us?"

Qi Qingyang is quite sensible.

Seeing Qi Qingyang's excitement, Wang Ning suddenly felt a little panicked. This silly son, she was helping him! Why didn't he appreciate it?

"Qingyang, go back and eat first. We are talking about business." Wang Ning said to him.

Qi Qingyang didn't appreciate it. "Dad, Mom, if you still insist on buying a place, then I won't be polite. I will report you. This matter is wrong in the first place, and you still don't correct it..."

Wang Ning tried to signal to him, but Qi Qingyang remained unmoved.

Qi Ronghua said, "Go back." Qi Qingyang replied bluntly, "Dad, I'm already 20 years old and have long passed the age to go to college. It was my own fault for not working hard enough that I didn't get into college. Even if you buy me a place now, I wouldn't accept it."

Qi Qingyang has always been disapproving of this kind of behavior.

After all, it was Yuanyuan's ability that allowed her to be admitted to university. It's just that I don't have this ability. Why should I drag others into this?

"You stupid kid, we're all doing this for your own good, but you won't listen. When will you appreciate our kindness?" Wang Ning said as he pushed Qi Qingyang away.

If the news of this got to the village chief, they would be finished. The village chief valued the three people who had been admitted to university, especially the girl from the Sun family.

God knows if the girl from the Sun family gave the village chief some kind of magic potion that made him so obsessed with her?

The village chief didn't look like the kind of person who disrespected his elders, did he? Why was he so devoted to her? He wasn't even that interested when Zheng Haifeng, a boy, got into the police academy. But he was so taken with this damn girl when she got into Youcheng University.

"Mom and Dad, I don't care. I don't want the quota anyway. If you continue to buy it, I will report it."

Qi Qingyang's tone was resolute.

"You unfilial son! Your mother and I are doing this for your own good! And you don't even appreciate it! You ungrateful bastard! Unfilial son!"

Qi Ronghua's voice was not loud, only loud enough for a few people to hear.

Qi Qingguang suddenly came over.

"Brother, why are you here?" Qi Qingguang asked in confusion. Qi Qingyang didn't say anything, and Wang Ning rushed to answer: "Qingguang, tell me about your brother. Your parents want to buy university places for you two, but he refuses. Tell me more about him."

After hearing this, Qi Qingguang looked at his brother in disbelief. He didn't want such a good opportunity?! This is a university place! "Brother, are you stupid? This is a university place. Why don't you want it?" Qi Qingguang asked puzzledly.

Qi Qingguang continued to persuade him, "Brother, if you buy it, both of us can go to college. You know we are the male descendants of the Qi family. If we go to college, it will bring honor to the Qi family. Why don't you...?"

Qi Qingyang said angrily, "I don't want it, and you'd better not buy it either. Otherwise, it won't bring honor to our family, but shame to them."

Qi Ronghua was furious when he heard this, but he couldn't hit anyone in front of so many people... Besides, his son was already so old, and he wasn't sure he could handle it...

Qi Ronghua gnashed his teeth and asked, "Qingyang, your mother and I are doing this for your own good. Don't be ungrateful. It's such a good opportunity. Why are you cursing us?"

"I didn't. This was wrong from the beginning. Qingguang and I, two rough guys, took other people's places to go to university. Do you think we can learn? We don't even know how to learn!"

Wang Ning said, "Silly child, don't think like that. You just didn't go to high school, how could you not understand it? Besides, Youcheng University is the best university, and you can get a university degree if you get in. Just listen to your mother, okay?"
