Countdown to Awakening

The school in Tianfu Village——

Qin Zixin returned to the teachers' dormitory after finishing tutoring for the students in the village who wanted to take extra classes.

I opened the drawer, took out the envelope inside and prepared to write to Fang Yu again. Unexpectedly, someone came in from outside.

"Oh, Teacher Qin, congratulations!" Huang Ping's voice came from outside the door.

Qin Zixin quickly put the envelope she had just taken out back away and stood up to check outside.

"Aunt Huang? What...what are you doing here?" Qin Zixin asked puzzledly.

"Oh, what a great thing!" Huang Ping had just finished speaking when she asked someone to bring in half a pig, some boxes, and some beautiful jewelry.

???

Qin Zixin asked again, "What are you doing? Why are you bringing stuff in?" Just as she was about to take the things out, Huang Ping stopped her. "Oh, don't be impatient, Teacher Qin. You're so lucky! Ma Hui has taken a fancy to you and wants to marry you, so he's sent you pork and other things according to village custom. Look, there's so much! Aren't you secretly happy... hehehe."

Qin Zixin: “…”

She was speechless. What did she mean? When did she say she wanted to marry Ma Hui? Those people acted on their own!

"Wait a minute! When did I say I wanted to marry Ma Hui? What do you mean? Take it out!"

Huang Ping simply told them to leave. Then she said, "Teacher Qin, stop pretending. We can all see that you like Ma Hui. Otherwise, why did you see him last time? You definitely like him, don't you? I'm here to propose... Look, there are so many good things..."

Huang Ping looked at those so-called good things and smiled at Qin Zixin again.

"Are you crazy? I didn't say I like him! How could I possibly like him?"

Huang Ping pretended not to hear. She added, "Oh, you and Ma Hui are a perfect match, a talented man and a beautiful woman! Why do you still say you don't want to? That's it. Ma Hui is actually quite good. Many people want to marry their daughters to him. You are so lucky..."

Qin Zixin was speechless. If she said yes, then yes? So many people wanted to marry their daughters to him, so why hadn't she found one yet? Why would he target her?

"I don't want to marry him. Take all these things away right now! Take them all away!" Qin Zixin yelled.

Huang Ping was a little panicked. Why did this girl look so gentle but speak so harshly?

"Hey, Teacher Qin, stop saying one thing and thinking another. We all know it. Even Ma Hui can see that you like him. How obvious is that?"

"Are you crazy? I told you, I don't like Ma Hui, and there's no way I would like him! If you think he's good, just divorce your wife and marry him!" Qin Zixin said again.

"Look at you, girl. You talk nonsense when you're anxious. He's attracted to you, so why would I divorce my wife and marry him? Just accept it. Ma Hui is a good man. Although he's divorced, he's caring. If he doesn't look for another man in the meantime, isn't he also a good man? If he wasn't a good man, why would he not look for another man? Isn't that right?"

"Get out. I said I won't marry you. Take these things and get out!"

"Oh, what girl doesn't get married? You're talking nonsense. Look, how beautiful these jewelry are? Look, this bracelet, this necklace... and this watch... everything is beautiful..." Huang Ping's eyes lit up when she picked it up.

Qin Zixin was even more speechless. What era was this? I thought it was ancient times? Just a few pieces of jewelry and they wanted to force her to marry a short, fat, and violent man? Only a psychopath would marry someone like that, right?

Huang Ping continued, "Oh, Teacher Qin, don't be so reserved. We all know..."

Qin Zixin closed her eyes, took a deep breath, and said, "What do you know? I told you I don't want to get married and asked you to get out. Did you hear me? Get out right now!"

Huang Ping continued shamelessly, "Teacher Qin, you're already 22, 24 in lunar age. In a few years, you'll be 30. You'd better hurry up... Ma Hui is a good choice. So many people wanted to marry him, but he chose you. What does that mean? It means he has good taste and you're excellent. After you get married, you can just stay at home and take care of the children. If that doesn't work out, you can go back to teaching. This woman still wants a good home, right? Ma Hui is a good choice... Although he's married for the second time, he's very caring..."

"..." Qin Zixin didn't know what to say to express her feelings at the moment. Such outrageous words could be said. Didn't she know how Ma Hui's first two wives divorced him? She was also impressed. One of them had been beaten to the point of divorce, and yet someone dared to send their daughter to the Ma family... How could they be parents?

This is also the case with Ma Hui. He can't live without a woman all of a sudden, right? He must have a woman to survive, right?

"Teacher Qin, just agree. You should know that there are few people in this area who can compare with Ma Hui. It's good that his family is rich. The key point is that he has two sons. The eldest son is in junior high school and the youngest son is four years old. He doesn't need to be taken care of. You can still come back to teach after you marry him. What do you think? Ma Hui also told me that if you marry him, the wedding banquet will be more grand than the Liao family's. I guarantee you will like it!" Huang Ping said a lot more in a row.

But Qin Zixin didn't want to hear any of this. Because she didn't want to marry Ma Hui at all. She looked down on Ma Hui.

"Are you going out or not? If you don't go out by yourself, I'll kick you out!" Qin Zixin couldn't bear it anymore.

Huang Ping thought she was joking and kept talking.

Qin Zixin reached out, grabbed the small box on the table and threw it outside.

"Oh, this is not good! Why are you throwing it away? It's such a good thing! It's a new watch!" Huang Ping picked it up, patted it, and quickly opened it to see if the watch inside was broken.

"Oh, it's a good thing it's not broken, otherwise... you say you..." Before she finished speaking, Qin Zixin grabbed the jewelry in the box and threw it out.

These things were nothing to her. Since she was born in Youcheng, she had no shortage of these good things.

Good jewelry is hers to choose at her own home. She's the only child in the family, what could she possibly lack? Why would you give her these things?

What kind of men has she not seen? Why does she have to marry an ugly, short, fat man? She might as well die!

Her parents would never allow her to marry a man like this.

"Teacher Qin, why did you throw it away for no reason?"

Qin Zixin didn't listen and walked straight towards the half pork.

"Oh...don't, don't, don't...I'll find someone to carry it away for you, okay? Don't...oh, such good pork, and you threw it away. It's so good, look at it..." Before Huang Ping finished speaking, Qin Zixin added: "I'll say it again, if you like him, just go and marry him, don't come to harm me!"

After saying that, she glared at Huang Ping.

Huang Ping was at a loss. No, why is this girl so fierce? Isn't she said to be quite gentle?

-

Ma Hui's home.

"Oh, this... there's nothing we can do. Teacher Qin refuses to agree no matter what. We have brought back the betrothal gifts... we don't want it either. But she... oh..." Huang Ping said regretfully.

Ma Hui snorted coldly.

How dare she reject him? How ungrateful! There were countless people in this village who wanted to curry favor with Ma Hui... But she...

But the harder it is to catch up, the more I like it...

When he marries Qin Zixin, hehe...

But her personality is hard to control, unless she makes a mistake. If she does make a mistake, shouldn't she be beaten? Just like his two ex-wives, shouldn't they be beaten for doing something wrong?

But all this would have to wait until he married Qin Zixin. When he did, he would beat her three times a day...
