Countdown to Awakening

After Qi Yuanyuan left, Zhang Mei still fought hard. After all, she didn't want to see Sun Pandi being treated like a bystander in her own home, doing endless chores every day. Besides, wouldn't letting her go back to her own home just give Chen Juan and her husband another opportunity? If something like this happened again, who would defend her? Anyway, asking her to go back was a complete failure. It would kill Sun Pandi.

The village chief looked at Chen Juan. Naturally, he disagreed with letting Sun Pandi return to his home. After all, they knew the character of Chen Juan and her husband. He had high hopes for Sun Pandi, but that wasn't the only reason he agreed to let her go to Zhang Mei's house. He still remembered Zhang Mei's previous suggestion that she hadn't agreed to open a girls' school, and he was quite afraid that Zhang Mei might say something unkind.

After all, if this gets out, how will others view him as the village chief?

"Alright, that's it. Just do as Zhang Mei says. From today on, Pan Di will live at Zhang Mei's house. Chen Juan, if you two disagree, go to the police station now and explain it to the police. Don't try to reason with me. I'll give you two a choice: either go to the police station or let Pan Di live at Zhang Mei's house."

Hearing this, Chen Juan and her husband were embarrassed. Sister Jin didn't know what to say. After all, she didn't dare to confront the village chief. But Pan Di was her future daughter-in-law. If she and her Tian Zhuang were to call it quits, wouldn't she be left without a daughter-in-law? Tian Zhuang would also have no descendants. Her Tian Zhuang could only live for another four years at most... What would happen if there were no descendants?

"Village chief, how about this? Pan Di can live directly in my house. I promise that my Tian Zhuang will not do anything to her. Really, just think of her as raising a child bride in my family." Sister Jin said happily.

The village chief was also displeased when he heard this and glanced at her. Zhang Mei was even more unhappy after hearing this, thinking that her abacus beads were about to fall on her face!

Then Zhang Mei snorted coldly: "What you said sounds like your Tianzhuang won't do anything, but your Tianzhuang is not stupid, and you are also very smart. Who would believe you if you said you wouldn't do anything?"

Letting Pan Di live in Tian Zhuang's house is like letting a sheep into a tiger's mouth. She dares to say anything!

When Sister Jin heard that her lie had been exposed, she immediately lowered her head and tried to find a crack in the ground to crawl into.

She knew Zhang Mei was also very smart, but she never expected that Zhang Mei would expose her in public and embarrass her so much. Teacher Qin was silent. She had no one to confront. Zhang Mei was so powerful that she could not defeat her at all.

Qi Yuanyuan and Qi Rongfeng who just left...

Qi Yuanyuan followed Qi Rongfeng. She didn't understand why Qi Rongfeng dragged her along... and he didn't say a word the whole way. This was really a bit awkward. So she couldn't help but ask, "Dad, what are you doing? Why are you leaving? Pan Di needs me right now..."

Qi Rongfeng paused after hearing this, looked back at Qi Yuanyuan, then glanced around. After confirming that no one was around, he said earnestly, "Yuanyuan, don't get too involved in things like this in the future. Don't interfere. This is someone else's family affair, don't meddle too much. We should just take care of ourselves and stay out of other people's business."

How could Qi Yuanyuan not understand? Wasn't he just telling her to stop meddling in other people's business? But was she meddling? Sun Pandi was her good sister, a friend she had grown up with. She'd even come to the aid of someone in need, let alone someone she had grown up with?

"Dad, don't say that. Panpan and I grew up together. Her business is my business. How could I not care?"

Qi Rongfeng's words were somewhat meaningful: "Yuanyuan, it's not that you don't want to care. What if the Sun family asks Sun Pandi to live with us? With our conditions, do you think she can live with us? Don't you know what our conditions are? Fortunately, she didn't ask to live with us..."

Qi Yuanyuan was choked by this. Indeed, her family wasn't wealthy, so adding another pair of chopsticks might not be so easy. Furthermore, if her family had to pay for Sun Pandi's college education, it would be even more difficult.

But... there's no need for Qi Rongfeng to react so strongly, right?

"Dad, tell me the truth, do you look down on Pandi? She grew up with me, and our two families have similar conditions. How can you look down on her?" Qi Yuanyuan asked.

As expected, her question successfully stumped Qi Rongfeng. Qi Rongfeng said nothing.

Then he added, "It's not that I look down on you. You should know what kind of people the Sun family is. They're very persistent. I certainly didn't say anything about that Pan Di kid. Besides, this is a family affair of the Sun family. As outsiders, how can we interfere in their affairs? Even if we really go to the police station, it will only embarrass the Sun family. The police station may not intervene. Yuanyuan, don't worry about it. Sometimes there are things that we can't control so much. It's not something we can control."

Qi Yuanyuan was about to say something else, but chose to remain silent. What he said was not without reason. Some things were beyond her control. However, she couldn't just ignore it, could she?

She looked back, thinking that Aunt Zhang was there, she should be able to handle it. Then she followed Qi Rongfeng back.

That night.

Sun Pandi successfully arrived at Zhang Mei's home. She was obviously a little reserved, but she tried hard not to let others see it.

"Pandi, don't be so reserved. Just treat this place as your own home. Let me tell you, I'm also very bored living alone. I've been longing for someone to come and talk to me." Zhang Mei's words made Sun Pandi relax a lot.

"Aunt Zhang, you usually take care of the children and have to make money by yourself. Is life a bit difficult?" she asked.

Zhang Mei was only twenty-five, so life wasn't difficult for her. Life went on as usual.

But she didn't mind Sun Pandi calling her aunt, after all, she had a child, and according to the village's seniority system, her husband wasn't Sun Pandi's brother. If she was called sister, she wouldn't accept it. After all, she was raising such a big child and being called sister...

Youcheng.

A dazzling and magnificent villa sits in the most prosperous residential area of ​​Youcheng. The owner is Fang Anmin, one of Youcheng's richest men.

In the princess room filled with girlish atmosphere, a girl wearing light green pajamas with her hair casually draped behind her head was sitting on a chair.

In her hand she held the letter from her cousin.

When she read a passage, she frowned, then raised her head and sighed.

At this moment, Yu Linlin knocked on the door and came in. "Xiaoyu, are you still reading? Have a cup of hot milk first."

The woman smiled.

If you look closely, Yu Linlin and her daughter do have some similarities, after all, they are mother and daughter.

Fang Yu looked up and said to Yu Linlin, "Mom, my cousin just sent me a letter. I don't even want to read it anymore."

Yu Linlin put the hot milk on the table, sat next to her and asked, "What's wrong? Is Zi Xin having a bad time?"

"Not really...she told me that the girls there don't have access to sanitary napkins, and they don't want them. They'd rather use them as insoles for the men in their family..." Fang Yu said with difficulty.

She also didn't understand. These things were obviously necessary for girls, but they used them as insoles and even returned them all...

"So that's why. It's not easy for Zi Xin either. She's been doing this for them but hasn't done well enough." Yu Linlin said.

Fang Yu thought for a moment and asked, "Can she come back? That sounds ridiculous. If she can't come back, then that wouldn't be..."

Yu Linlin comforted him, "Don't worry. Who is Zi Xin? There's no way anything could happen to her. Although it's ridiculous, your cousin went there to be a teacher. I heard that people there respect teachers quite a bit. Just don't think too much about it, okay?"

"How come the guy there is the same as Lin Hao? He has no respect for others!" When Fang Yu said this, she thought of Lin Hao, the playboy who grew up with her.

His ideas are also ridiculous.
