Countdown to Awakening

Chen Juan, who was sitting on the ground, kept begging for mercy and making a scene, but Qi Yuanyuan refused to buy it and kept opposing her. She told the village chief that she must send her to the police station.

Chen Juan looked at Qi Yuanyuan, Qin Zixin, and Zhang Mei, and couldn't help but feel resentful. It was clear that nothing could happen today, but these three people were looking for trouble. They just had too much free time! It was clear they were jealous!

Qi Yuanyuan, that damned girl, is dead because no one introduced her to a date. Zhang Mei, a widow, also has no man. Not to mention Teacher Qin, an old lady with no one to marry her, so she can only be jealous of her daughter!

"Then I promise, I promise I won't do this again, okay, Village Chief? Look, nothing happened to her last night, so... let's just forget about it. I can't go to the police station either... Besides, I'm her mother. If you send Degui and me to the police station, who will take care of my two children? Especially my son, he's still young... and still needs to go to school... I beg you, please don't send me in..."

Qi Yuanyuan snorted coldly. Is that an excuse? Does that mean you can get away with it? She continued, "Who would believe your promise? You didn't take the village chief's words to heart. You simply don't take him seriously. You should have gone to the police station! The village chief also said before that if we don't go to the police station this time, more people will disregard the rules and do this kind of thing in the future. This time, we must make an example of him!"

Sister Jin didn't dare to speak. She knew Qi Yuanyuan was not someone to be trifled with, so she couldn't say anything about her. She could only speak about Teacher Qin.

Chen Juan panicked even more. How could they send her to the police station? Her son needed someone to take care of him... They couldn't be so cruel, could they? If they sent her to jail, what would happen to her son?

Oh my god, God is so unfair!!

"Village Chief, the police can't intervene in our family affairs. It's useless to send me to the police station. I don't think the police will say anything. They can't do anything about it. Since ancient times, even an honest official can hardly judge family affairs..."

Chen Juan tried to persuade the village chief not to send her to the police station, but Zhang Mei followed up, saying, "What's that saying, 'Family matters are difficult for an honest judge to judge?' What era is this? You still insist on that? No, you must go to the police station! Otherwise, like Yuanyuan said, even more people won't take your words to heart."

She couldn't stand this kind of behavior. Four years ago, when Yingdi got married, she hadn't yet moved to the village and couldn't stop it. Now, just thinking about it made her terrified. In this day and age, someone would actually use the same method...

Even if they don't care about Pan Di's face, they should at least consider their own face, right?

Most of the surrounding villagers were just watching the fun, with only a few speaking up for Chen Juan. They didn't understand what Qi Yuanyuan was saying at all, but they all agreed that Sun Pandi was the daughter of the Sun family, and Chen Juan's daughter, so Chen Juan could consider her marriage.

Besides, Sun Pandi was already eighteen. Many older people in the village married and had children at seventeen or eighteen. Why couldn't she? Was she more valuable than others? It was the same in every era. It wasn't that different.

"Old Zhao, I think we should just forget about it. After all, Juan'er is Pandi's biological mother. What mother in this world would harm her own child? Isn't Juan'er also considering Pandi? All mothers in the world love their children. Juan'er just wants her daughter to find a good family as soon as possible. Her starting point is also good. And I believe Juan'er won't do it next time."

Tsk, another one speaking up for her! So many things to say! Are they just such busybodies?!

Qi Yuanyuan still scoffed. Following the man's lead, she asked, "Then let me ask you, what if she does this again next time? What should we do if she does something stupid like this again? We can't just let it go like this, right?"

Hearing this, Chen Juan felt a little guilty. This was because she really wanted to do this. She wanted Sun Pandi and Tianzhuang to get married quickly so she could collect the betrothal money.

Who would dare to deny it if it was already done? But this damn girl's words had completely disrupted her plans! Was she doing this specifically to go against her?

Zhang Mei hugged her son and her mind raced. She suddenly thought of a good idea, a way to be nice to Sun Pandi and also to shut Chen Juan up.

So she said, "How about this, Pan Di moves in to live with me. I just happen to be in need of a companion. If Pan Di comes, she can help me with laundry, cooking, and taking care of the children. The Sun family doesn't like her anyway, so it's better to let her come to my place. After she goes to college, she can do whatever she wants." After she said that, she looked at Sun Pan Di.

She must be willing to do so. After all, who wants to stay in a den of wolves and tigers?

This statement stunned everyone in the room. They hadn't expected Zhang Mei to make such a decision, to have such thoughts... After all, Zhang Mei herself had a son who was so difficult to raise. How could she possibly manage Sun Pandi? Was this pure meddling? How could a single woman like her manage two children?

Chen Juan was naturally unwilling. She could have accepted the betrothal gift, but if she let Sun Pandi go to Widow Zhang, wouldn't her plan fail? She was still hoping to find another opportunity to marry Tianzhuang and that money-loser. Besides, even if it didn't work out, their family still had free labor. With Widow Zhang's actions, wouldn't their family's free labor be gone?

"No! Absolutely not! Sun Pandi is my daughter, how can she live in your house? Besides, you have bad luck and you are unlucky. What if my daughter gets unlucky and also unlucky in the future? I don't agree!" Chen Juan stood up from the ground and argued.

Zhang Mei found this amusing. She clearly didn't care about this daughter, yet she insisted on calling her her daughter. When she wanted her, she'd call her her daughter, but when she didn't want her anymore? What else would she say? Was she just a money-loser? So, Zhang Mei taunted her, "Your daughter? When you brought that man into your house and tried to ruin Pan Di, did you ever think about her being your daughter? When she wanted to study but you wanted her to get married, why didn't you think about her being your daughter?"

Chen Juan snorted and spat on the ground. "So what if it's my daughter? You're a widow, what if you bring your bad luck to my daughter? What if my daughter can't get married in the future? I don't agree!"

Just as Qi Yuanyuan was about to say something, Qi Rongfeng squeezed in from behind, pulled her and said to her, "Yuanyuan, come back with me."

Qi Yuanyuan didn't know what was going on and asked, "What's wrong?" Qi Rongfeng said, "Just come back with me. There's something wrong. Come quickly."

Zhang Mei seemed to have noticed something and said to Qi Yuanyuan, "Yuanyuan, go back. Don't worry, I'm here. I won't let some people's dirty thoughts come true."

Qi Yuanyuan thought about it and felt somewhat relieved. So she followed Qi Rongfeng back. Although she was puzzled, she did not ask on the spot.

Chen Juan saw Qi Yuanyuan leave, so she felt a little proud. She thought that since Zhang Mei's side was missing one person, she could say she had won over Zhang Mei. After all, Zhang Mei was just one person, while they had several people...

"Pandi is my daughter, why should she go to your house? I don't agree! I am Pandi's mother, and I don't want to leave my daughter in the home of a widow like you!" she roared.

The village chief was fed up. Nothing would work, nothing would work. What was she going to do? She yelled at Chen Juan, "Chen Juan, do as Zhang Mei says! If you do anything else, I'll send you to the police station! If you don't want Pan Di to go to Zhang Mei's house, then I have only one choice: go to the police station now!"

The village chief also had personal reasons for doing this. As long as he could send this girl to Zhang Mei's home, she would not come up with the idea of ​​setting up a girls' school.

The villagers were all watching. Many supported Zhang Mei. Not because they trusted her, but because they simply wanted to see her look bad. They thought it was impossible for her to raise two children, especially a college student. It would be even more expensive.

Everyone was waiting to see Zhang Mei's joke. After all, as a widow, there was no way she could take care of two children.
