In her past life, Zhao Zhenzhen's military officer husband made a mistake, dying and bringing shame to the entire family.
To atone for her husband's sins, Zhao Zhenzhen did the hardes...
The person who came was Huang Sixi, whom Zhao Zhenzhu had met at the bus station that morning, and who was also Huang Xiuhong's fourth brother.
Huang Youliang has five sons and one daughter. Huang Sixi is the fourth among his siblings.
Huang Sixi was a full-time employee at the Taohua Town Machinery Factory. He was also the most successful of Huang Youliang's children.
"Hello, are you Team Leader Huang from the bus station this morning?" He Bo recognized Huang Sixi at this moment.
"Yes, yes, young man, I was rushing to take someone to the county town this morning and didn't have time to thank you properly. I never expected to see you again at home, what a coincidence!" Huang Sixi happily grabbed He Bo's hand and shook it a few times.
"No need to thank me, no need to thank me. I didn't really do anything," He Bo said politely.
"Oh no! If it weren't for you, several workers in our group probably wouldn't have been able to go to this training. As the team leader, I would definitely have been criticized by the leaders." Huang Sixi retorted.
"Sixi, do you two know each other?" Huang Youliang asked upon seeing this.
"Dad, this young man is amazing! This morning, several workers in our group had their wallets stolen at the bus station, and it was this young man and his companion who helped them get them back," Huang Sixi praised.
“Dad, you didn’t see it. The young man is not only fast, but also very clever. Thieves these days are quick-witted. After stealing money, they don’t keep it on their person; they immediately transfer it to their accomplices. If it weren’t for the young man’s reminder, even if we caught the thief, we wouldn’t have been able to get the money back.”
"So he... really wasn't a bad person!" Huang Youliang muttered as Huang Sixi recounted the story.
"Dad, what did you say?" Huang Sixi asked, not having heard clearly.
"He didn't say anything," Huang Youliang waved his hand and said.
With Huang Sixi as a witness, Huang Youliang let go of his prejudice against He Bo.
However, Huang Youliang was, after all, an elder, and was embarrassed to apologize to He Bo.
Just as he was struggling with this, Huang Sixi remembered the important matter and asked, "Dad, Mom said some thugs came to the house and asked me to come home and help. Where are the thugs? Did they run away?"
"Hehehe..." Huang Youliang laughed awkwardly and said, "Your mother misunderstood, there's no hoodlum."
"No way? How could Mom mishear something so important? I remember Mom's hearing is perfectly fine!" Huang Sixi looked at Huang Youliang with a suspicious gaze.
"What I say goes, why are you babbling so much nonsense?" Huang Youliang snapped angrily.
Huang Sixi is a good person, but he has one flaw—he's a stickler for details.
Normally, Huang Youliang didn't find Huang Sixi's little quirk particularly annoying.
But today, Huang Youliang wished he could sew Huang Sixi's mouth shut.
Huang Sixi kept calling He Bo a scoundrel, does he not want to maintain a good relationship with his only female friend in the future?
"Dad, why are you yelling?" Huang Sixi felt a little confused.
"What's wrong with yelling at you? I'm your father. Even if I hit you, you'd better take it." Huang Youliang couldn't help but slap Huang Sixi on the back.
Huang Sixi was beaten by Huang Youliang and ran away with his head in his hands.
"Pfft~!" Zhao Zhenzhu couldn't help but laugh.
This father and son are hilarious.
One started fighting at the drop of a hat. The other was quick to dodge and run around, clearly someone who was used to "training".
What's even funnier is that Huang Youliang was so angry he was puffing out his beard and glaring at his father, while Huang Sixi looked completely bewildered, having no idea what he had done to offend his father.
“Pearl! You must be laughing at me! This is my good-for-nothing fourth son, Sixi. He works at the machinery factory in town,” Huang Youliang said sheepishly.
Oh my god, he was so angry with Xiao Si that he lost his mind.
I almost forgot we had guests at home!
"Hello, hello." Huang Sixi grinned, showing Zhao Zhenzhu a set of big white teeth.
"Hello, I'm Zhao Zhenzhu." Zhao Zhenzhu smiled and nodded at Huang Sixi.
"Pearl is Secretary Tao's niece from the town. She came to our house today to thank Xiuhong on behalf of Secretary Tao's mother. Xiuhong helped Secretary Tao's mother out in town last time, and the old lady is a very kind person and remembers it well!" Huang Youliang explained.
"Oh, oh." Huang Sixi suddenly realized.
No wonder his dad was hosting guests at home today!
It turns out that Zhao Zhenzhu was sent by Secretary Tao's mother, so to be fair, you could say she was sent by Secretary Tao.
"Uncle, you just heard what Brother Sixi said, Xiaobo is indeed a good kid. Can you give Xiaobo a chance?" Zhao Zhenzhu took the opportunity to change the subject.
“Pearl! Originally, I shouldn’t have refused you, but Xiuhong is our only daughter, so we have to think about things more carefully. If He Bo wants to marry our Xiuhong, I will not agree to the marriage unless he guarantees that he will never go back to gangs.” Huang Youliang said after considering it for a moment.
“Father-in-law, I promise I will never go into gangs again. I can make money easily by following Sister Pearl. Only a fool would go into gangs.” He Bo quickly seized the opportunity and even called her “father-in-law”.
"You're calling him father-in-law too early. What are you doing calling someone 'father-in-law' when you have no official title or relationship with them?" Huang Youliang glanced at He Bo and said with disdain.
"Don't worry, father-in-law, I'll have a matchmaker come to propose marriage first thing tomorrow morning. Xiuhong should have what others have too." He Bo couldn't stop smiling.
My fourth brother-in-law is such a good person! It was worth it for him to help me out at the bus station today.
Sister Pearl is also impressive; she persuaded her father-in-law with just a few words.
Tomorrow, He Bo will be Huang Xiuhong's rightful fiancé.
It would be even better if we could get married this year!
“We don’t care about the amount of stuff. Just treat Xiuhong well in the future, and we’ll be at ease,” Huang Youliang said earnestly.
"Don't worry, Father-in-law, I'll definitely treat Xiuhong well from now on. If I ever act recklessly, you won't even need to come knocking on my door; Sister Zhenzhu can handle me. Right, Sister?" He Bo gave Zhao Zhenzhu a fawning smile.
“Of course. He Xiaobo, a real man must keep his word. If you ever dare to treat Xiuhong badly in the future, I won’t let you off easily,” Zhao Zhenzhu warned.
"Sister, I won't, I promise," He Bo said confidently.
“He Bo, you don’t need to find a matchmaker tomorrow. Just let Pearl be your matchmaker with Xiu Hong,” Huang Youliang said after thinking for a moment.
"Father-in-law, that's a great idea. Sister, could you be my matchmaker with Xiuhong?" He Bo's eyes lit up.
"Be a matchmaker? I... I don't know how!" Zhao Zhenzhu was stunned.
“The wedding process is pretty much the same, we all know it. We’ll discuss the dowry and the wedding ceremony with He Bo. Pearl, you don’t need to put in any effort, just act as the matchmaker,” Huang Youliang said.
