Countdown to Awakening

But there was no other way, Qin Zixin could only send it back. After all, she couldn't use that much by herself.

Although she felt sympathy for the girls in the village, there was nothing she could do now. She couldn't force them to give them to her even if they didn't want them. Qin Zixin then planned to write a letter to send all the sanitary napkins back.

Jiang Wen said, "Everyone in the village is like this. We can't give these sanitary napkins away. We can only send them back. Teacher Qin, they appreciate your kindness, but we can only send them back."

Teacher Qin nodded, and then asked, "Teacher Jiang, if you have a daughter in the future, will you educate her in the same way?"

But Jiang Wen replied: "I will not have children."

Qin Zixin showed an expression of disbelief at first, but then thought about it and realized that it was true. The person he liked was not his wife. So he would probably not get married in the future.

"My parents are long gone, and my grandmother, who raised me, passed away two years ago. So I will most likely be alone in the future," Jiang Wen said.

Jiang Wen wasn't kidding. He felt he would stay in this village teaching for the rest of his life.

After thinking about it, the only thing I look forward to is waiting for Yingdi to come to school and then we can teach together, just like when we were studying...

Qin Zixin comforted him and told him not to be too sad, maybe there would be a turning point in the future?

After saying that, Qin Zixin also started writing the letter.

The Chen family was still restless at night. Yingdi sat by the bed as usual, holding Mengdi and coaxing her to sleep.

Chen Jiade came in from outside. "...Put her with the boss."

Yingdi looked at him and instantly knew what he was up to. Day after day, he had no idea what was going on in his head. He was either doing it to her or thinking about that... How could he do that during pregnancy?

"No, I'm still pregnant. I can't do that. Wait until I give birth to the baby." Yingdi said.

Chen Jiade looked impatient. Why did she have to wait until after giving birth? Why not now? He demanded, "Are you thinking about Jiang Wen? That's why you don't want to do that with me? I'm telling you, you're my woman now. If you're still thinking about Jiang Wen, then you're wrong..."

Yingdi was speechless. "How come you always end up with Jiang Wen? How long ago did that happen? You still mind so much... Aren't there nothing going on between him and me now? You're the only one who keeps thinking about it."

"You dare to talk back now, right? You said you were not thinking about Jiang Wen, but I think you were! Since the last time you met him, you have become more and more daring to talk back!" Chen Jiade roared.

Seeing that he had run out of arguments, Yingdi started to make trouble... Ever since Jiang Wen came to their house last time, he has been looking for trouble just because they met once.

Did she think she hadn't seen the look he gave Teacher Qin last time? How did Chen Jiade treat other women, and why didn't he allow her to have normal communication...

"Are you mentally ill? Jiang Wen and I were just having a normal conversation, but you are always suspicious. It's obviously you who have the problem, yet you always blame me." Yingdi didn't know why, but she just wanted to lose her temper with him.

Seeing that she dared to talk back, Chen Jiade quickly called Tao Lai Di over.

"What's wrong with you? Why are you arguing with your husband? I think you don't want to stay in this house anymore! You're just taking care of the kids and cooking at home, and you still feel resentful? A hen that can't lay eggs... is eating for nothing at home."

Yingdi still had that numb expression. She was used to being constantly scolded by the mother and son. She had no family anyway, and now she was pregnant, so what was wrong with her occasionally talking back? Could Chen Jiade really hit her while she was pregnant?

If he takes action, his son will be lost.

Yingdi's last remaining concerns in this world were her two daughters. Only these two daughters and Jiang Wen truly loved her. But Jiang Wen and her never met again.

Tao Lai Di cursed a few times and then left. Chen Jiade urged her to quickly drop the child off at the eldest son's place.

"Don't touch me, I'm still pregnant. Will you be responsible if the baby is aborted?"

Chen Jiade couldn't persuade her, so he had to give up. "Alright, you won't let me touch you, you're so proud. You'd better give birth to a son, or you can't stay in this house anymore! Get out!"

Yingdi rolled his eyes at him.

At this time, the Sun family was experiencing a bloody storm.

-

The next day, Qin Zixin went to the town's post office to mail a letter and came out right after she finished mailing it.

Unfortunately, I ran into Ma Hui as soon as I came out.

Qin Zixin: “…”

Ma Hui was shameless and said, "Teacher Qin, what a coincidence. I'm in town to buy something too. What are you doing here, Teacher Qin?"

Ma Hui looked Teacher Qin up and down.

Well, she has a nice figure, but she's a little thin, which makes it hard for her to have children. But that's okay. He already has two sons. He'd like her even if she couldn't have children. The women in this city seem so gentle and kind, and he'd like her even more if she were a little fatter.

"Teacher Qin, have you thought about your future marriage? This is a lifelong event for you women, and it can't be delayed. Otherwise, Teacher Qin, you can just make do with me. My family is rich and will not treat you badly. There will be nothing wrong with you marrying me. You don't have to have children... How about it?"

He was so direct, didn't he believe that Teacher Qin wouldn't like him? They said that men in their thirties and forties were the most charming, like a flower, so wouldn't he be so charming to Teacher Qin?

Seeing that she was silent, Ma Hui thought she was shy. After all, his two ex-wives had similar expressions when they heard the news.

"Oh, Teacher Qin, don't be shy. I understand you. Isn't that just because you're shy? I won't treat you badly. If you marry me..."

Before Ma Hui could finish his words, Qin Zixin interrupted him, "No, Ma Hui, I don't think we're suitable. I don't like you either. You should find someone else."

Ma Hui couldn't stop laughing when he heard this. He knew that Teacher Qin was being reserved. On the surface, she rejected him, but in fact, she really liked him. She was probably thinking about when they would get married... and she was still pretending to be reserved...

He understood that city women were different, not so straightforward. They preferred to take things slow. It wasn't like he, Ma Hui, couldn't take things slow...

"Teacher Qin, don't be so reserved. I know you like me. Look, I'm the only one who likes you among so many people. You should feel honored. So, I'll give you some more time. I know you definitely like me." Ma Hui chattered on and on.

Qin Zixin: “…”

How could he tell? Was he blind? How could he tell that she liked him?

"I'm not pretending to be reserved. If you like me, just say it. I'm very direct. You being so reserved makes it difficult for me to live as a human being..."

Qin Zixin was speechless. She had already clearly rejected Ma Hui, so why didn't he understand her? He continued to pester her...

"When did I tell you that I like you? Do you have any shame? I've already told you no, no, and you're still pestering me? I don't know where you get your confidence from."

Ma Hui didn't think it was a scolding, but rather a kind of enjoyment...

She'd already talked to him so much, didn't she just like him? But she still refused to admit it, pretending to be reserved. City women were just interesting, and he liked them even more. This Teacher Qin was much more interesting than that Sun Pandi girl!

Qin Zixin ignored him and walked away.

He must be mentally ill! I have told him countless times but he just plays dumb and doesn't hear me.

How could she possibly marry Ma Hui? She wasn't a fool. No matter how the villagers and he praised Ma Hui, she wouldn't be fooled. Marriage was no joke. Besides, she just wanted to teach well in the village.

A group of people gathered in front of the village chief's house again...
