Countdown to Awakening

Qi Qingyang was about to say something when Qi Qingguang spoke up first: "Hey, brother, don't think you're so noble. There's a ready-made university for you to go to, but you're not happy about it. If you don't want to, don't get in my way. Don't say you didn't buy it for me, or that my parents are partial to me... Besides, it's not free. Isn't this so that we can support Yuanyuan when she gets married?"

Wang Ning smiled with satisfaction upon hearing this. She was most pleased with her second son, who was understanding and sympathetic, and knew she was doing it for his own good. Unlike her eldest son, who was always servile and only spoke for outsiders.

"Qingyang, Qi Yuanyuan will be married off to an outsider in the future. She can't even be included in the family tree now. Will you speak for her? Are you still a member of the Qi family?" Wang Ning asked.

Qi Qingyang answered bluntly, "How can Yuanyuan be an outsider? She has the same last name as us. Even if she gets married, she's still my cousin."

Wang Ning saw his son was so excited and wanted to get him out of the way quickly, otherwise there would be a big mess.

"Qingyang, go back and have your meal first. Don't disturb me from talking to your dad about business. Go quickly!"

Qi Qingyang refused to leave and replied, "No, Dad, Mom, if you insist on buying a spot, then I'll make this public now so everyone can see what you're doing. Even if you beat me to death, I won't take Yuanyuan's spot!"

Qi Ronghua panicked upon hearing this. How could his son be so ignorant? It was clearly for his own good, but he didn't appreciate it. He even said he wanted to make it public. Wouldn't he be finished if he made it public? What a foolish son!

"Qingyang, what's wrong with you? How can you say that? We are all doing this for your own good! If you agree, it will be considered as repaying your mother and me for raising you. And this will be good for you. You can even go to university, Youcheng University, what a good university it is? Why don't you know what's good for you?" Qi Ronghua was furious.

Chen Juan also found it strange. How could there be such a person? He was offered a university place but he didn't go? Wasn't that helping him? If her son ever had the chance, he would get it no matter what.

"What's wrong with you, kid? I've given you benefits, but you don't appreciate it? You should think carefully about this matter, as it is good for you. Don't you want to go to college?" Chen Juan asked.

The Qi family had never produced a male college student. If I gave them this spot, I could still make some money. At that point, the Qi family would be in their debt. Even if they didn't owe me a favor, it would still be offset. Doesn't the eldest daughter of the Qi family have a daughter named Qi? If her family can't find a wife in the future, I can let that little girl marry into the family.

A boy from such a good family should be able to find a girl in the city, so how could he possibly marry a girl from the village?

When there is really no other way, he will just make do with the little girl from the Qi family. Anyway, their family must be anxious to find a partner for their daughter.

Qi Qingyang answered Chen Juan bluntly: "This is our family matter. Even if I wanted to go to college again, I would not use such despicable means. Yuanyuan worked hard to get admitted, and you want to give us the spot right away? I don't agree. I won't do such a dirty thing."

Chen Juan wasn't expecting Qi Qingyang to say that; she was a little surprised. "What do you mean by filthy? You're such a rude kid! We're all doing this for your own good. My Pan Di doesn't have to go to school; she's a girl, so there's no need for such restrictions. But you're a boy. How are you going to find a wife if you don't go to college? You can't even tell the difference between good and bad words..."

Qi Qingyang was so angry when he saw that Wang Ning ignored him and turned to discuss the matter with Chen Juan.

He wanted to go to college, but not by this means. He couldn't understand why Yuanyuan's college education was any different from his own. Aren't they both Qi family members? Even if Yuanyuan couldn't be included in the family tree, this would still bring honor to the family. Besides, both Yuanyuan and Pan Di were considered his sisters. How could he possibly take something that belonged to his sister?

Qi Qingyang looked at the four people who were discussing something, and there was nothing he could do...

Then he suddenly shouted into the distance, "Look here, folks... Come and judge for yourself. My parents and Uncle Sun want to give their university places to me and my brother... Tell me, is this reasonable? Is it okay?"

Qi Qingyang's shout made everyone look over.

Some people were eating and didn't understand what was going on, but they came over just to watch the fun.

Qi Yuanyuan, Sun Pandi and others also looked over at the shout.

She and Sun Pandi exchanged a glance, but there was no reaction. Then Qi Qingyang shouted, "Fellow villagers, is this reasonable?"

People sitting at the table began to talk.

Some people agree, some people disagree.

"What I want to say is that I can't pass the exam myself, but I can't drag others into it, not to mention that that person is my sister who grew up with me. Although Pan Di and I have no blood relationship, she is still my sister. How can we, as her brothers, take up her place?" Qi Qingyang continued shouting.

Mr. and Mrs. Sun Degui and Mr. and Mrs. Qi Ronghua were so embarrassed that they wanted to find a hole to crawl into... Who knew that the child would say that?

Qi Qingguang couldn't believe his brother would say that...

He stared at his brother with wide eyes.

"Brother, are you crazy? You don't even want such a good opportunity? I really don't understand you anymore. What are you afraid of? Haven't my parents already found a connection?"

Qi Qingguang's words made everyone present understand what was going on better, and those who were originally confused now knew what had happened.

It turns out the government had connections, no wonder they said this...

Wang Ning was furious when he heard what his second son said. Why did he bring up this for no reason? Didn't he know that the village chief hated this kind of thing? Qingguang's brain just didn't work well sometimes...

Wang Ning kept winking at Qi Qingguang, but Qi Qingguang acted as if he didn't see anything.

"Brother, it's ok for you to be like this normally, but now is a good opportunity. Do you really want to admit that you are not as good as the girl from your uncle's family?"

Qi Qingguang's voice was loud enough for everyone to hear. Perhaps he had forgotten whose home team it was today.

As expected, Qi Yuanyuan was dissatisfied when she heard this. She wanted to throw down her chopsticks and stand up to argue with Qi Qingguang, but Zhang Mei stood up first.

All I could hear was her voice: "What? You can't pass the exam, so you want to take your sister's place? Where in the world are there such shameless people like you? You don't have the ability to pass the exam, but you want to take up someone else's place. And you're even using connections. Who do you think you are? Do you think no one cares about this village? How shameless! Bah!"

After saying that, Zhang Mei spat on the ground.

Wang Ning felt a burning sensation on his face...

Everyone looked at Zhang Mei, somewhat surprised. They knew she had a sharp tongue, but they hadn't expected her to start a fight over someone completely unrelated... So, it seems being a sharp tongue does have its advantages...

But even the smallest issue was met with dissent. Some simply felt that if their own children didn't have it, there was no way the Qi family's son would have it. Others simply couldn't stand the idea of ​​Qi Yuanyuan and Sun Pandi both going to school.

An older woman in the crowd said, "What's going on? Why can't those who should go to school be allowed to go? What good does it do those two girls to study? Isn't it just a waste of time and money? They'd be better off staying in the village doing laundry, cooking, and having children. They'd be much more useful than going to college."

Qi Yuanyuan couldn't help herself this time, but she didn't throw her chopsticks. Instead, she stood up angrily and ran to Qi Qingguang and asked, "Qi Qingguang, what do you mean? You're relying on your status as my generation's eldest brother to do this? Why do you want to take up my place? You can't pass the exam and you want to take up my place? You really are..."

Before he finished speaking, Qi Qingguang shamelessly replied, "I didn't use your quota. I used Sun Pandi's. What's your business? You should go talk to my brother. He used your quota."
