Xia Ruqian was immediately surprised and asked, "If that's the case, then someone did it on purpose?!"
Xia Ruzheng said coldly, "It was Huang Zhong who did it! Our father has never had any grudges against anyone, so who would deliberately mess with him?"
Xia Ruqian didn't say Xia Ruzheng was wrong, but just asked: "Then why did he target our father?"
Xia Ruzheng thought for a moment and said, "If this is revenge, then it's me, not my father, who's rejecting the marriage. If anything, it should be me. I think Huang Zhong is trying to play the good guy."
"Playing the good guy?"
Xia Ruzheng nodded. In her previous life, she was confined to her house daily, not even allowed to watch TV. She knew very little about what was happening outside, but she did have some understanding of Huang Zhong's actions. He was a man who would not give up until he achieved his goals, and he would do anything to achieve them.
Xia Ruqian quickly realized: "You mean, he hasn't given up on marrying into our family?!"
Xia Ruzheng said: "Yes."
It's not that she's narcissistic, but there are so many benefits to marrying her. Xia Ruqian wouldn't think her sister was narcissistic either. Her beauty is well-known in the neighborhood, and her family is well-off. Her father treats her well, so she will definitely have a large dowry when the time comes. If her sister doesn't know how to do housework, she can learn it slowly. Besides, she's very good at it now.
Xia Ruqian said angrily, "I usually think he's a quiet and quiet guy, but I didn't expect him to be so evil!"
Xia Ruzheng said, "It's called knowing a person's face but not his heart. But we have no evidence."
Xia Ruqian rolled her eyes and said, "What do we need evidence for? We can't sue him, but we do need confirmation. Don't we have Xu Xianhua? Xu Xianhua likes Huang Zhong so much, she must know what Huang Zhong did."
Xia Ruzheng thought about it and agreed, but Xu Xianhua would definitely not think that Huang Zhong did anything bad.
The two sisters discussed it several times, and when Xu Xianhua came, they started to ask some questions.
Xu Xianhua was not a smart person either, and she thought she had hidden her thoughts very well.
"Xia Hua, how's things going between you and Huang Zhong? It's been so long, and Grandma Chun Hua still hasn't come to your house to propose marriage?"
Xu Xianhua sighed and said, "There's no rush for this. Besides, I don't even know if she's willing to marry me!"
The Xia Ruzheng sisters exchanged glances, and Xia Ruqian added, "Actually, it's not about whether you agree or not. As long as my family agrees, isn't that enough? Huang Zhong is a good guy. He was the one who brought my dad back home last time he fell. If you don't hurry up, they'll tell others about it!"
Xu Xianhua straightened up immediately after hearing this and said, "No... no, he's been very busy lately, how could he have the time to propose marriage?"
"Who isn't busy these days? Since everyone grows crops in the fields and owns them, who's still lazy?"
"That's true, but he's not busy in the fields. He's been busy doing this and that. A few days ago, he was even helping us level the road! I told him he was working so quietly so others wouldn't know about it and wouldn't know how good he was, but he said he didn't care. He's such an honest man."
Xia Ruzheng couldn't help laughing. He was not an honest person. His purpose was not that at all, okay?
Now the two sisters were sure that it was Huang Zhong.
Both of them were furious, but neither showed it and continued to entertain Xu Xianhua warmly.
Xu Xianhua said a lot of good things about Huang Zhong, of course, mostly the same things everyone else had said. She also said that Huang Zhong actually had good features, but he was just a little short and no one noticed. Xia Ruzheng knew Huang Zhong well; he would remember his face until his death. Huang Zhong's features were ordinary, but in Xia Ruzheng's eyes, he was scarier than a demon.
After sending Xu Xianhua away, Xia Ruqian said, "Do we really want Xianhua to marry him? Xianhua is quite capable. I'm afraid she'll be treated like a slave if she marries him."
More than being treated like a slave, I am a slave to Huang Zhong's entire family! Xia Ruzheng thought bitterly.
However, Xia Ruzheng remained calm and said, "This is not up to us. Look how much Xianhua likes Huang Zhong. If both families are willing, can we stop them?"
Xia Ruzheng never talked about his past life, after all, it was a bit shocking.
Xia Ruqian nodded. She was kind, but not unprincipledly kind. She would not try to get involved in everything.
It was confirmed that Huang Zhong was responsible, and the two sisters were hesitant about whether to tell Xia Chunfu. After all, neither of them had any evidence to prove it, and they were afraid that even if they told him, the other would not believe it.
At this moment, except for the two sisters, everyone else thinks that their family owes Huang Zhong a favor. Even if they tell the truth, others will think that the two sisters are ungrateful and are wrongly accusing others.
"Sister, we can't tell anyone about this, but we have to find a way to get revenge, right? Dad is being treated so unfairly."
Xia Ruzheng said, "Let's put revenge aside for now. We can't act rashly without a complete plan."
Xia Ruqian agreed. She was a person who clearly distinguished between gratitude and resentment, but she was also someone who could tolerate it.
Everyone nearby naturally knew that Huang Zhong had saved Xia Chunfu. Although he hated him to death, Xia Ruzheng still went to thank him in person with Xia Ruqian, at least to shut up the others.
This time, the two sisters also witnessed the eccentricities of Huang Zhong's family. Xia Ruqian left the house with a sullen face: "This family really has no idea what they are talking about. They treat us as our saviors, as if we have to take care of them for the rest of their lives just because we saved them once."
Xia Ruzheng sneered, "That's exactly what they're thinking. We have to give all our wealth to them, and then have the three of us, father and daughter, become their slaves, in order to repay their kindness this time!"
Xia Ruqian was immediately amused and said, "It's really as you said, sister. I absolutely cannot marry into this family, otherwise I don't know how much trouble I will have in the future!"
When the two sisters returned home, Xia Ruqian told them about the situation at Huang Zhong's house. Xia Chunfu said, "It's not easy to repay this favor. You two have to be patient in the future. It's all your father's fault."
Xia Ruqian almost jumped up and told the truth, but Xia Ruzheng said first: "We will definitely do what we should do, but there are some things that we can't give in to easily."
Since Huang Zhong has taken this step, there must be a next step. Xia Ruzheng gave Xia Chunfu a shot of prevention.
Xia Chunfu was not confused. A favor was a favor, and he would repay it. No matter what, he could not use his daughter to repay a debt of gratitude. Moreover, with the Huang family being what it was, his daughter would only suffer if she married into the family.
Huang Zhong did not take any action afterwards. Xia Ruzheng could understand that if someone came to propose marriage at this time, it would mean that he was asking for a favor in return. Huang Zhong would not easily give anyone a handle.
But Xia Ruzheng was also very confused. Why did Huang Zhong target him?
