Countdown to Awakening

Humph! As long as she doesn't pay the tuition for that money-loser, she won't be able to go to college.

Her family wasn't about to waste money like that. A fortune teller had read her son's fortune and said he'd be a government employee in the future. The fortune teller also said the secret couldn't be revealed. Doesn't that mean her son has a bright future and can achieve even greater things? It would be truly glorious if he got into university!

This damned girl still wants to spend her money to go to college? What a pipe dream! It would be better to ask her to get married soon and get some betrothal money!

Seeing that no one spoke for her, Sun Pandi felt that things were irreversible. She stood there as if accepting the judgment of fate, her eyes more empty than ever.

She knew the consequences of not going to college. They might not let her get married right now, but what about the future? She stayed in the village. After Yuanyuan and the others left, the village chief would be old, and there would be no one to speak up for her.

Still have to let them control you.

She has to marry whoever Chen Juan tells her to marry.

She didn't want to be like this, she wanted to go to college, she had finally gotten in...

Yoho University is a good university...

While thinking about it, someone boldly suggested: "Why don't you give Pan Di's university place to my son? It happens that my son didn't pass the exam, and your daughter's study will be in vain. The most troublesome thing is to change her name. If it doesn't work, I will buy the place from Pan Di's father. How about it?" A man's voice sounded in the crowd.

Qi Yuanyuan was furious when she heard this.

This kind of thing is illegal! No matter if you are a man or a woman, or in any era.

"She doesn't want to! You can't buy or sell her place. Your son didn't make it, but you're still thinking about hers. Now he's thinking about hers, who knows what he'll be thinking about in the future!" Zheng Haifeng shouted at the man. He recognized the voice as Jiang Shuilian from the village.

Why should he buy her place? What qualifications does he have?

"Haifeng, I held you in my arms when you were a child. Why are you so ignorant now that you have grown up? We didn't buy a place for you, so why are you so anxious? Besides, if Pandi doesn't come, she shouldn't go to school. What's the point of a girl studying? If she goes out and never comes back, will all the boys in our village be bachelors in the future?" The person who spoke seemed to be Jiang Shuilian's wife.

"Can't they just pass the exam and get out on their own? Why do girls have to stay in the village?" Qi Yuanyuan also yelled at the man.

"Hehe... The life of you girls is to give birth to children for men. Your family has no boys to be the pillar of the family. When Brother Qi dies in the future, there will be no one to burn incense for him!" Jiang Shuilian's wife was not polite at all.

Qi Yuanyuan wanted to rush over, but Zheng Haifeng stopped her.

Chen Juan ignored what they said, and instead asked the man how much he would pay for the spot, blinded by the money.

The man made a "one" gesture, and Chen Juan immediately disagreed. "Oh, only a hundred? After all, Pan Di worked hard to get this, and you want to buy it for just a hundred? At least five hundred!"

Just as Jiang Shuilian was about to say something else, the village chief suddenly interrupted, "Stop arguing! I'm the one making the decision on this matter! Whether Pan Di can go to college or not is up to me!"

Chen Juan was immediately terrified after hearing this. The village chief must be trying to send that money-loser to college. Wouldn't that mean they would still have to pay for it? She didn't want that. If they paid for Sun Pandi's college education, what would happen to her son in the future?

"Village chief, we don't have the money to support her college education. My son will go to high school in the future. If I pay this money, he will have no money to continue his studies. Besides, village chief, you can't guarantee that she will come back after she leaves. If she doesn't come back, there are not many girls in our village..." Chen Juan didn't say anything else.

Qi Yuanyuan was speechless. Was she jealous because her daughter was living better than she was, even going so far as to deprive her of her right to an education? Moreover, she was a woman herself, so why was she making things difficult for women? Even for her own daughter?

The village chief did not move after hearing Chen Juan's words, as if he was thinking about something.

"Yes, village chief, there are not many girls in our village, and now we have to send them away. What about the boys in the village? Originally, these boys could marry them, but now it's different. I think the girl from the Qi family should not go to college. It would be better for her to stay in the village and work to earn her own dowry. Their family can also save some money. In the future, the boys will have wives to marry, right?" A woman's voice sounded again in the crowd.

Qi Yuanyuan looked towards the direction of the voice, but she couldn't find the person who had just spoken.

Seeing the village chief standing still, Ma Hui took the opportunity to fan the flames: "That's right, Village Chief. I, Ma Hui, can choose not to marry, but other boys can't. They are still young and they can't choose not to marry. I am also considering the collective interests of the village, Village Chief. You have to think carefully about it. Our village cannot be extinct."

Seeing that the village chief still didn't say anything, everyone started talking.

Qi Yuanyuan listened and heard that most people said that she and Sun Pandidi should not go to college.

At this time, Qi Rongfeng suddenly came.

His thin body squeezed into the crowd and later came behind Qi Yuanyuan.

"Brother Rongfeng, do you think it's worth it for your girl to go to college? It's not only a waste of money, but also a loss. It would be better to sell the place to the boys in our village." Jiang Shui continued.

"Stop arguing, stop arguing..." Qi Rongfeng stretched out his hand to signal everyone to listen to him.

Everyone gradually quieted down.

"Our village has never had any college students, and these three are the first batch of college students from our village. We should send them to study, so that we can win honor, right?" Before he could finish his words, Jiang Shuilian's wife interrupted, "No, we can send Haifeng, and everyone is willing to do so, but these two girls must stay!"

Qi Rongfeng refused to do it when he heard this.

"What? You're really nosy. You're saying three college students are just one? What? Girls can't go to college? I'm going to send my daughter to college. How can you just say you don't want to do something that brings honor to your family?" Qi Rongfeng had just finished speaking when another woman followed up, "Hey, your family hasn't even given birth to a boy, so how can you say you bring honor to your family? You're really good at flattering yourself."

Qi Rongfeng glared at her. Then he turned to look at his daughter. "Nier, even if Daddy has to sell everything he has, he's going to send you to college!"

This statement caused a sigh from the entire audience. Although most people were happy with it, there were still a few who couldn't stand it.

Sun Pandi turned her head and looked at Qi Rongfeng, her eyes filled with complicated emotions.

Even though Qi Yuanyuan had traveled through time, she was deeply moved by these words. This village was filled with young girls carrying firewood and married off early, and boys who threw their books everywhere... Only she and Sun Pandi had made it to high school...

Now Qi Rongfeng wants to send her to college despite everyone's opposition...

Naturally, she was very willing to go to college.

"Okay! If they both go, Pan Di has to stay, right? Otherwise, there will be another boy without a wife in the village."

After hearing this, Qi Rongfeng objected again: "No! All three of them are going! Why can't girls go? Who made that rule? We finally had three college graduates, and you're committing a sin! Besides, the lack of girls in the village is your own fault, isn't it? What? Have you forgotten what you did?"

Chen Juan was furious. She walked up to Qi Rongfeng and asked, "Send her? That's easy for you to say. Why are you giving her money? Our family doesn't have the spare money to send her to college. Let her go, it's fine. Whoever wants to spend the money can spend it!"

After saying this, she crossed her arms in front of her chest, looking like a slave owner.

"..." This sentence left Qi Rongfeng speechless.

Chen Juan said this, which definitely meant she wouldn't support Pan Di's education. Doesn't that mean she wants him to do it? Even if he wanted to...how could his family possibly have that much money?

"Pandi, there's nothing I can do. I don't have any money..." He said with a hint of apology. Even if he was in charge of this matter, he couldn't take care of it all. He, he couldn't do anything either.

Chen Juan looked smug. In the end, they still had to take care of it themselves, right?

Isn't she a meddler? Why isn't she meddling anymore? She just loves showing off, doesn't she? She knows the Qi family hasn't even produced a boy yet, and yet they're still bringing glory to the family... and yet she's meddling... She's just meddling in other people's business!

At this time, the village chief closed his eyes slightly, took a deep breath and exhaled, then slowly said: "Stop arguing, I have a solution."
