Countdown to Awakening

After a moment of hesitation, she realized that the girl sitting across from her was the Qi family's sharp-tongued girl. What bad luck, bumping into her on such a happy day...

Is she qualified to say that about me? Humph, a girl no one wants is qualified to say that about her? She must be too awesome to look at. I’m so angry! It must be those two people from the Qi family who spoiled her! She didn’t know how to respect her elders at such a young age and even talked back to them.

What's the matter? If the dish isn't tasty, why aren't people allowed to turn it over? Who made this rule? The host hasn't said anything, so why is she allowed to say anything? It's not her cooking, so why can't she say anything? She's just such a busybody. A little girl, but she's more talkative than those village aunties...

Humph! She wanted to see how much this girl could say! She was so talkative, wasn't she? She wanted to meet this person. She wanted to see how talkative she was!

"Qi family's daughter, right? I say, why are you so talkative? I'm just flipping a dish and it's none of your business, why do you care so much? If it's your cooking, then just say it... You have no right to say anything."

? ?

Is she still right?

Just as Qi Yuanyuan was about to say something, Sun Pandi tugged at her arm, trying to stop her. "Forget it. It's okay to let her say a few words. If you keep nitpicking, people will just think you're being unreasonable. It might even lead to a scene, and who knows what the Liao family will say. It's not appropriate to argue with someone who's not our seat."

Qi Yuanyuan nodded after listening to it. She also felt that it made sense. If the Liao family caught her, who knows what they would say to her in the future. So she said nothing more. But Aunt Xie thought she was afraid.

Humph, I thought she was so amazing, but it's just like this. She doesn't dare to say anything after saying a few words to her? Those people are really good at bragging. They also say that the girl from the Qi family is just like Widow Zhang, with a sharp tongue... This is not that great either.

Seeing Qi Yuanyuan ignoring her, she continued, "Alas, are you jealous of Shanshan because the Liao family didn't fancy you in the end? Let me tell you, someone like you doesn't have this blessing. This blessing should belong to Shanshan. Besides, even if the Liao family liked you at the beginning, didn't they choose you in the end? Who knows if you would be unlucky if you married into the family... In the final analysis, isn't it because you have a sharp tongue? I wouldn't choose someone like you as a daughter-in-law either. You deserve not to be chosen by the Liao family. No mother-in-law would like a daughter-in-law with a sharp tongue."

Qi Yuanyuan: “…”

She was speechless. Did she understand? What did they mean by the Liao family didn't like her? Was she unlucky? It was clearly her fault for not looking down on the Liao family, but now she was saying they didn't like her. Was she jealous? All she did all day was figure out which daughters weren't married, which sons married whom, and who wasn't wanted by anyone?

Haha, are you kidding me? She's such an outstanding person, and she still needs others to pick on her? She's jealous? Marrying into a family like this, what's there for her to envy? Only those people think it's great, right?

"To tell you the truth, it's still unclear who looks down on whom. What you see is that the Liao family looks down on me, but I guess you don't know the actual situation..."

Qi Yuanyuan's words were profound. This surprised Aunt Xie. What did she mean by "she actually didn't know"? Could there be something else she didn't know? A hidden secret?

But she'd heard from the Liao family... didn't they mean Qi Yuanyuan wasn't wanted? When did something come up that she didn't know about? Could it be that the Liao family had lied to her?

Thinking of this, Aunt Xie became interested. She didn't want to miss any gossip.

Aunt Xie asked, "Hey, what do you mean? Tell me. Are you saying that you look down on Liao Bin? I don't think so, do I? And you look down on Liao Bin? Oh, stop bragging. Who are you? I think you are just jealous. Jealous that he didn't marry you."

Qi Yuanyuan sneered. She didn't want to say anything else, because if Qi Rongfeng knew, he would definitely tell her off.

Besides, she's a blessed person, so she won't enter the door of unfortunate people. To be a little narcissistic, those who say they don't like her are the ones who are breaking her defense. Whoever she marries will be fine.

These people are just like Ma Hui, if they can't get what they want, they will destroy it and speak ill of others behind their backs.

But these spit are useless to her, she will not be easily shattered by these rumors.

In this era, she was a top student. Furthermore, having traveled from the 21st century, she possessed a wealth of knowledge and advantages. Who would she be unsuitable for? Clearly, those people had their defenses broken.

Before Liao Bin's wedding, Qi Rongfeng and Liang Xiaocui repeatedly stressed that Qi Yuanyuan shouldn't talk nonsense or do anything wrong at the banquet. After all, it wasn't their banquet, so they had no right to cause trouble. If they did, they would be the target of gossip in the village. The previous incident had already caused a lot of gossip.

Aunt Xie was a little upset when she saw that she didn't say anything. Why ignore her? This is unruly and impolite! She doesn't know how to respect others at all.

"I think you are just jealous of others! You are jealous because you see that she can marry into the Liao family and doesn't want you. You don't even dare to say a word..." Aunt Xie still said this.

What is this called? Provocation. I don’t believe she won’t speak!

"I've heard it a long time ago. You think you're so great because you got into college. Well, it's just that, but you think you're so great. So why pretend? Girls should marry a good man. It's useless to study a lot. You still have to get married in the future..."

Qi Yuanyuan thought about it. "Tsk, isn't all this talk just jealousy? They can't do the test themselves, so they blame others. Actually, they're the clowns. They're the ones who always like to criticize others."

Even if she was alone for the rest of her life, what would it matter? Even if she found a partner, what would it matter? She would always remember what was the most important thing about her journey here.

Besides, she might not even get married. After all, she doesn't like men. And Shang Wen is not here.

Afraid of what Qi Rongfeng and Liang Xiaocui would say if they found out, she didn't dare to speak out at the table. So she remained silent, letting Aunt Xie have her say. It didn't matter to her anyway.

The three sisters of the Liao family kept looking at Qi Yuanyuan while they were having a meal, and their expressions were meaningful.

Liao Zhaoer said, "Big sister, look at that girl from the Qi family, sitting at that table. Tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, it's really like fish seeking fish, shrimp seeking shrimp, turtle seeking turtle. Look at her sitting with that Sun Pandi. Oh, I heard that Sun Pandi is also a hard-working person. She is also very picky. She even looks down on Ma Hui."

Liao Shengnan said, "Yes, I heard about it too. Ma Hui's offer was so good, but she refused it. She even said she had secretly agreed to spend her life with Zheng Haifeng. I think this village is going to have another Yingdi! Look at these two girls, they think they've gotten into college, so great! Won't they still be unwanted old maids in the future? Just like that teacher. I don't know what they're so proud of..."

Liao Ting also agreed with her two sisters. After all, they could see that no one would want these two girls in the future.

Who would dare to marry a woman like this who has no luck? Even if she goes to college, what good is it? No one will want her.

Humph, she'd even heard those two said they'd never marry again. She wanted to see how much patience Qi Yuanyuan had, how long she could hold out. Even if she truly didn't marry, she'd know when she got old: no one to take care of her, not even a son. It was obvious she was unlucky... destined to suffer when she got old. Her parents were gone, and she was the only girl left in this world. Just how capable she was.
