Countdown to Awakening

Originally, Chen Juan hadn't taken it seriously. It was just a few words of advice from the village chief. What was the big deal? But when she heard they were going to the police station, she immediately panicked. She had never heard of someone being sent to the police station for finding a son-in-law for their daughter. She was doing this for her daughter, so why was she going to the police station? Besides, how could the police convict her if she went to the police station? Even a judge couldn't judge a family matter!

Besides, that money-loser is old enough, how could she possibly remain unmarried? She was doing this for Sun Pandi's own good, so how could she be sent to the police station?

"Impossible! I am Sun Pandi's mother, you can't send me to the police station. I am doing this for her own good. You really don't understand the love of parents in the world!" Chen Juan said with an embarrassed expression.

Qi Yuanyuan ignored her, but she was happy in her heart. See, isn't this urgent? You also know how urgent it is... Then she turned to the village chief and said, "Village chief, you said before that if something like this happens again, you will send the person to the police station, or why not now? If you don't send him in this time, who in this village will listen to you in the future?"

The village chief glanced at Qi Yuanyuan and thought she was quite right. It was rare to find someone so sensible...

Qi Yuanyuan wanted this result. She wanted to let Chen Juan know that her actions were wrong, so that she wouldn't be so arrogant every day... and wouldn't dare to act recklessly just because she was Sun Pandi's parent...

The village chief said, "Deguier, Chen Juan, the two of you, come with me to the town police station right now. I've already told you not to do this, and you're still doing it! Come with me to the police station right now!"

Chen Juan glared at Qi Yuanyuan. "That damn girl! It's her fault! If she hadn't said anything, the village chief might have forgotten about it! Now that she brought it up, wouldn't that make the village chief remember it?"

You have to show off yourself and make her stand out, right? Getting into university is a big deal, right?

No, no, she can't be blamed alone. And that money-loser, why didn't anything happen last night? Why did she just run away? The marriage isn't even finalized yet... And that damned widow Zhang, she comes over to mess around when it's none of her business! It's like this every time! She even wanted to join in the fun at yesterday's banquet... Such a busybody!

Chen Juan thought for a moment and reluctantly said, "Village Chief, I... I can't go to the police station. How embarrassing! Besides, I'm doing this for my daughter's own good. How could I possibly harm her? Didn't Yingdi marry Chen Jiade in the same way before? Why can she do this, but our Pandi can't?"

Zhang Mei sneered and said, "That was all in the past. You're still holding on to it. Besides, Yingdi is married to Chen Jiade. Do you think she's doing well now? How can she be happy? She's living a hard life. It's better for me to raise the child alone. Chen Juan, let me say this, but you two will do anything for money. This is the first time I've seen such a thing. You two will get your comeuppance sooner or later!"

Zhang Mei was still laughing after she finished speaking, as if mocking Chen Juan.

"You...you unlucky widow, your husband is dead and you don't want to do good deeds? What are you doing here?"

Chen Jiade, who was watching the show from a distance, also started to get upset when he heard this. "You widow, how can you say my wife is unhappy marrying me? You're not the one marrying me? No one wants you, a widow who brings bad luck to her husband! What right do you have to criticize me? You're such a busybody! Bah!"

Zhang Mei turned to look at Chen Jiade and said meaningfully, "Why not? Alas, only incompetent men think their wives are doing well. If Yingdi was really doing well, your family wouldn't have to call the director of the Women's Federation over every few days... and you're still bragging about it here... You're so shameless!"

The Chen family did have this kind of thing going on, but fortunately, he's restrained himself now. In the past, they'd call the Women's Federation director over almost every two or three days. This caused the surrounding villagers to talk about it.

At this point, Teacher Qin also stepped forward. "Village Chief, I also suggest that Pan Di's parents be taken to the police station. If you do something wrong, you must take responsibility. Otherwise, who will abide by the village rules in the future?" This sentence successfully brought the topic back to the topic.

That's how it is in her family. No matter what, if you do something wrong, you have to go to the police station and explain it. Even if you just said something wrong.

"Shut up! You're a twenty-something, unmarried woman, what right do you have to criticize me? Don't think you can say whatever you want just because you're a teacher. You don't have the right to speak in this village." Chen Juan saw Teacher Qin saying the same thing, and she seemed to have found someone more honest and weak. So she started to criticize Teacher Qin.

Teacher Qin didn't care, she knew that Chen Juan's words were rude.

Chen Juan continued, "What kind of future can you have as a poor teacher? It would be better for you to find a husband and have a child as soon as possible."

Zhang Mei: "Chen Juan, I think you only dare to bully Teacher Qin. She has a good personality and a good temper and doesn't bother with you. Are you getting more and more excited?"

When Chen Juan heard this, she lowered her head like a child who had done something wrong, but she also felt guilty.

Seeing that she didn't say anything, Qi Yuanyuan continued to talk to the village chief, "Village chief, look, she's now so bold as to say such things about Teacher Qin. She must be sent to the police station."

Sun Degui was embarrassed at this moment. But he didn't dare to speak. He kept hinting to Chen Juan to speak. How could a grown man like him say such things?

Chen Juan didn't know what to say. Sister Jin, who had come with them, finally spoke up, "You're such a cruel girl! You're meddling in other people's family affairs. You're really nosy. She's looking for a son-in-law for her daughter, and I think you're jealous, aren't you?!"

Sister Jin glanced at Qi Yuanyuan. This girl must be jealous because she hadn't been introduced to anyone. After all, her Tianzhuang was so handsome, there must be a lot of people who liked him. Maybe Qi Yuanyuan liked her Tianzhuang?

That’s right, her Tianzhuang must be liked by many people. Qi Yuanyuan is definitely no exception!

Sister Jin rolled her eyes at Qi Yuanyuan when she thought of this. "Hmph, is she worthy of my Tianzhuang? She'll definitely be that unwanted old maid in the future! When she sees her Tianzhuang getting married, won't she be jealous to death?"

Thinking of this, Sister Jin was very proud. Fortunately, someone wanted her Tian Zhuang, and it was the family that her Tian Zhuang liked. Her Tian Zhuang was really amazing...

It's obvious that Qi Yuanyuan is unlucky. Just like that unlucky widow Zhang. And the same goes for Teacher Qin. Who knows, she might end up alone in the future... Let's see what they'll do when they get old...

Qi Yuanyuan smiled. She was speechless. What was there to be jealous about? She wasn't waiting to get married, nor was she a commodity waiting to be picked and chosen. She was a human being. Besides, she was a girl who had been admitted to a key university, so her value was even higher. Wasn't it her who was choosing others? Why would anyone choose her? How could she be jealous about something like this?

In her world, not marrying and having children is also freedom, because a good marriage is happiness, while a bad marriage is a shackle. In her world, there are many women who don't marry. And no one criticizes them. People look at them with envy, not confusion.

Of course, they wouldn't gossip about married sisters. It's not like this era.

I never thought that people in this era actually regard marriage and childbirth as compulsory courses in life. It's really sad...

"Why should I be jealous? I feel useless if I marry your son. Because I think your son is also a useless person, and so are you, and your family. Anyone who marries into your family will definitely not live long. And someone like you is not necessarily a good mother-in-law." Qi Yuanyuan did not forget to mock Sister Jin when she said this.

When Sister Jin heard others calling her son useless, she became anxious. "How dare you say that, little girl? What gives you the right to say my son is useless? I didn't expect you to be so sharp-tongued at such a young age! It's a good thing I didn't choose you as my daughter-in-law, otherwise our family would be in trouble! Bah! You'll definitely be unwanted in the future! Just wait until you envy my Tianzhuang!"
