"Brother, you've been tricked by Cao Laoliu. Cao Laoliu made you the gang leader so that you could take the blame for him." Erniu cried bitterly.

"What?" He Bo exclaimed in surprise.

“Brother, Cao Laoliu never left Peach Blossom Town. He's been hiding at Mayor Hu Yong's house. It was Hu Yong who suggested you be the scapegoat.” Erniu wiped away his tears and said, “Cao Laoliu was drinking with Hu Yong today, and I overheard them talking through the window. Hu Yong is Cao Laoliu's backer. Over the years, Cao Laoliu has given most of his earnings to Hu Yong. Hu Yong knows there's going to be a crackdown, so he told Cao Laoliu to hand over his position as gang leader as soon as possible.”

He Bo was stunned.

No wonder his appeals were rejected every time he was arrested. With Hu Yong as his "protective umbrella," Cao Laoliu was able to escape unscathed.

“Brother, I also heard from Cao Laoliu that he’s asking Hu Yong to be his matchmaker so you can marry Huang Xiuhong from Huangjia Village. He not only wants you to die for him, but he also wants to sleep with the woman you like.” Erniu couldn’t help but cry again as he said this.

Erniu knew that He Bo liked Huang Xiuhong. Huang Xiuhong actually liked He Bo too.

Unfortunately, He Bo's family was too poor, and he was also a hoodlum. Huang Xiuhong's family did not approve of the marriage. He Bo sent matchmakers to Huang Xiuhong's house several times to propose marriage, but they were all turned away each time.

"He dares!" He Bo's eyes were bloodshot.

"Brother, I'm going to kill Cao Laoliu, then Sister-in-law Xiuhong will be fine." Erniu wiped away his tears and walked towards the door.

"Stop!" He Bo shouted.

He Bo likes Huang Xiuhong, that's true, but he can't let Erniu become a murderer because of Huang Xiuhong.

Erniu turned around and looked at He Bo.

“Erniu, I no longer like Huang Xiuhong. Cao Laoliu can marry whomever he wants; it has nothing to do with me,” He Bo said coldly.

"Brother, you're not lying to me, are you?" Erniu's eyes were full of shock.

"I did like her before, but Huang Xiuhong's family didn't approve! So, I let it go a long time ago," He Bo said, feigning nonchalance.

"Brother, really?" Erniu blinked and asked incredulously.

“Really, what I’m most worried about right now is you and Liangzi. After I die, don’t get involved in gangs anymore, stay away from Cao Laoliu, and work honestly in the production team. It’s okay to be poor, at least you’ll still be alive,” He Bo said.

"Brother, we'll listen to you." Erniu's eyes reddened again.

He Bo died with resentment in his heart. His soul lingered.

He Bo witnessed Erniu and Liangzi collect his body and bury him next to his grandmother's grave.

After Erniu passed away, Huang Xiuhong brought offerings to pay her respects to He Bo, and cried her heart out while hugging the tombstone.

A few months later, Cao Laoliu, relying on Hu Yong's influence, married Huang Xiuhong.

After the marriage, Cao Laoliu got drunk one night and revealed that he had plotted to make He Bo a scapegoat.

After Cao Laoliu fell asleep, Huang Xiuhong was in tears.

A few days later, Huang Xiuhong poisoned Cao Laoliu's drink, killing him. She ultimately met her end by being executed.

He Bo felt both bittersweet and sweet when he thought of what Huang Xiuhong had done for him in his previous life.

In this life, thanks to Sister Pearl's support, He Bo was able to stand tall and marry such a wonderful girl as Huang Xiuhong.

Sister Pearl is a benefactor to this couple!

Huang Xiuhong woke up with a start.

Upon seeing He Bo beside her, Huang Xiuhong's eyes reddened: "Xiao Bo~! I just had a nightmare."

"Don't be afraid, dreams are always the opposite," He Bo comforted her.

“He Xiaobo, I dreamt that the person I married wasn’t you, it was a bad guy.” Huang Xiuhong hugged He Bo tightly and said, “Thank goodness it was just a dream, otherwise, I definitely wouldn’t be able to go on living.”

“Me too, Xiuhong. Marrying you is the greatest blessing of my life.” He Bo’s eyes also reddened.

He Bo made a decision in his heart.

In this life, he and Xiuhong will follow in Pearl's footsteps and listen to her words.

Sister Pearl is a good person; she won't treat them unfairly.
