Countdown to Awakening

Qi Yuanyuan felt increasingly confused. It was clearly not her fault, and she had done nothing wrong. It was Luo Xinxin and the others who started the trouble, but no one believed her. Not even Liang Xiaocui and the others.

Is it honorable to belittle one's own daughter in order to elevate others? Who is their daughter, anyway? Shouldn't they protect their own daughter? Why are they speaking up for others? I really don't understand.

"Mom, who is your daughter? You don't believe what I say, but you believe what their family says? This matter was originally their fault. They were the ones who started cursing and causing trouble. You weren't there, so you don't know how ugly their curses were. I pushed her and only got my shoes wet, which is the least of my worries." Qi Yuanyuan pointed at Luo Xinxin and her sister, and said to Liang Xiaocui with an angry look on her face.

Hearing this, Luo's mother blinked guiltily. No one knows a daughter better than her mother. How could she not know what her daughter said? After all, she had learned all the dirty words she used to say to her child's father.

They usually learn all the things about those with organs and those without organs, and those who have eighteen generations of ancestors and relatives... Aren't they using this to scold that girl?

Normally, these two sisters don't talk to anyone, and they never start a fight. Why are they so crazy this time? Don't they know that the Qi family girl is hard to talk to? And yet, they're going out of their way to scold her...

If this gets out, what will happen if Xinxin and her sister don't have a husband in the future? Such a thing that will ruin their reputation cannot be known to outsiders... She is still waiting to receive some betrothal gifts to pay for her son's tuition and marry a wife...

No, if they keep talking like this, more things will be exposed, and her Xinxin and Dandan will suffer. They can't let others know that they taught Xinxin to use bad words... Otherwise, not only will they lose face, but the two sisters will also have no in-laws...

After thinking for a moment, Luo's mother said, "Xiao Cui, I think we should just forget about it. It's just a little quarrel between children. Although your Yuanyuan is already eighteen years old, our two families won't let this incident ruin the relationship of many years, right? Our child is ignorant, so let's just forget about it..." Luo's mother smiled, trying her best to hide her guilt.

As long as this matter is settled, no one will know that her daughter swears and it will be easier for her to find a husband. She has to hurry up. Otherwise, she won't be able to get married in the future.

Luo's mother looked at Liang Xiaocui. She really hoped she would leave immediately, otherwise, that girl would definitely say something...

Unexpectedly, after hearing this, Liang Xiaocui turned around and said to Qi Yuanyuan, "Yuanyuan, you should apologize to Xinxin for this matter. You're so much older than her, so just give in to her. Suffering a loss is a blessing, it's okay. Let's not worry about so many trivial matters. You're Xinxin's sister after all, so just apologize to her and we'll be done with this."

? ?

Qi Yuanyuan wasn't that kind of person. Why would she give in when it wasn't her fault? Was it just to save face? She didn't want that face.

If everyone behaved like this, wouldn't everyone be weak and timid? Those who did something wrong wouldn't have to apologize, while those who didn't do anything wrong would be asked to apologize. Wouldn't that disrupt social order?

If the person who did something wrong doesn't pay any price, what's the point of the law? If an apology can exempt people from punishment, then that's not right.

"I won't apologize. Why should I apologize? I didn't do anything wrong." Qi Yuanyuan looked at Luo Xinxin.

Since it was useless, Qi Yuanyuan could only say: "Luo Xinxin, you know what you said, and you know who was wrong. You want me and Panpan to apologize to you, dream on!"

Qi Yuanyuan then took Sun Pandi away. What a waste of time this trip was!

Seeing this, Liang Xiaocui had no choice but to quickly follow. Qi Rongfeng just smiled at Luo Xinxin and the others, then left.

I just went out a short distance...

"Yuanyuan, what are you doing? Look at any girl like you, with such a bad temper? When did you become like this?" Liang Xiaocui kept chattering behind her.

Qi Yuanyuan turned around and asked, "Mom, do you think they're being reasonable? They're clearly trying to embarrass me! They said something themselves, but they don't admit it! You don't know how harsh her words were. You can't say I slandered her, right? Panpan heard it too. Don't we have the right to refute it? You actually want me to apologize to them? They were clearly in the wrong, why should I apologize?"

Her tone was a bit harsh, and Liang Xiaocui felt a little at a loss after hearing it.

Sun Pandi didn't know what to say. Her family was here, but she seemed a little out of place...

"Yuanyuan, you are so reckless in doing things... Do you know that with your personality, no one will want to marry you in the future! You will live alone for the rest of your life! How can our family lose face if this gets out? Don't you think about it? You... forget it..." Qi Rongfeng also looked unhappy.

It's just that she was spoiled too much. To the point that she doesn't act like a girl at all... and gets into trouble everywhere.

Qi Yuanyuan was speechless. Was she born to be someone else's daughter-in-law? Couldn't she be herself? In her old world, no one would ever say that!

"Dad, Mom, what if no one wants to marry me in the future? Am I only the most valuable if I'm married? Is this the only path I can take? I don't understand why you're so obsessed with whether I get married or not, and whether anyone is willing to marry me... So what if I can't get married? I can still live a good life..."

Sun Pandi was shocked by her words. She realized that even a girl could talk to her parents like this... without having to be so humble all the time.

Qi Rongfeng sighed and said earnestly, "Yuanyuan, that's not what I meant. I meant that your parents won't be able to accompany you until you grow old. Are you planning to live alone if you don't get married? There's no such thing in the village. Those who can't find a wife are shameful... Don't say such things again in the future. You should know that it's not shameful for you, but it's different for us. If you can't get married in the future, you'll just be an old maid."

Qi Rongfeng wasn't thinking about accepting a betrothal gift. He still felt sorry for his only daughter. What if he and Liang Xiaocui were to leave? Wouldn't Qi Yuanyuan be left alone? If she wasn't married by then, wouldn't she be left alone? She would be all alone in this world...

What if someone bullied her? She might not be able to protect the things and money he and Liang Xiaocui left behind by herself. Besides, not getting married was like a death sentence in this village.
