When most of the spectators had left, Wang Shuihua walked up to Mingwen and He Wanting with a menacing look and looked at them.
"Aunt Shuihua, don't misunderstand! Comrade Liu said that just now to help me!" He Jing leaned out from behind Mingwen to explain.
"Mom, go home first. I'll talk to He Zhiqing and then come back to tell you everything that happened today in detail from beginning to end!" Mingwen advised.
Wang Shuihua looked at the two people in front of her and felt that something was wrong. She said unhappily, "Both of you come with me. Now everyone knows. I'm the only one who doesn't know. Can you explain it to me clearly?"
"Shuihua, let Mingwen and He Zhiqing go to my house and talk! There will be too many people watching you at your house at this time. My house is secluded and not many people pass by." Liu's mother walked to Wang Shuihua and said.
Wang Shuihua thought about it, nodded, then glared at Mingwen and signaled him to follow with He Zhiqing.
Mother Liu looked at Wang Shuihua and nodded, then said to Ruirui, "Ruirui, go to your grandfather's house and tell him that your second mother and second brother are having dinner at our house tonight!"
When the group returned to Liu's house, Liu's mother took Wang Shuihua and Mingwen to Ruirui and Feifei's room and asked the mother and son to talk things out first; she asked Xuemei to take He Wanting to her room to rest first. After everything was arranged, Liu's mother took Liu's father and Feifei to the kitchen to cook.
As soon as Xuemei closed the door, He Wanting asked worriedly, "Xuemei, is Aunt Shuihua angry? Will your second brother be beaten?"
"Wanting, please sit down first. My second brother is a man, and nothing will happen even if he is slapped a few times by my second mother. Besides, although my second mother is a little cunning, she is not a bad person. She often has a sharp tongue but a soft heart. Don't worry, Wanting!" Xuemei said as she pulled He Wanting to sit down.
"I'm still worried. I don't want them and their son to be unhappy because of my affairs?" He Wenting sighed.
"Wanting, I have something to ask you. You have to tell me the truth so that I can be mentally prepared in advance!" Xuemei looked at Wanting and said seriously.
"Xuemei, just ask. I will tell you everything I can." Wanting looked at Xuemei so seriously and sat up straight and answered.
"What my second brother just said to the educated youth is about your girlfriend. Is it true?" Xuemei asked.
He Wanting's eyes flashed, and then she said, "Your second brother must have said that just now to protect my reputation!"
Xuemei noticed He Wanting's awkward expression and pressed on, "From what I know about my second brother, he's not usually so impulsive, and he wouldn't just say she's his partner without her permission! What's going on between you and my second brother?"
He Wanting felt embarrassed by Xuemei's stare and lowered her head and said, "Your second brother asked me a few days ago if I wanted to be his girlfriend, and I said I needed to think about it! I haven't replied to him yet, and today he said that in front of everyone. He must be trying to protect me!"
Xuemei thought her second brother had good intentions but had done something bad, so she apologized, "It was my second brother who was wrong today. He was too impulsive. He told you you were his partner before you even got your permission. While this solved a problem for you, it also created more trouble! I'm sorry, Wanting. I'll definitely give my second brother a good talk. He was so unstable this time."
"Xuemei, you can't blame your second brother for this. He is a good man. He helped me but also caused trouble for himself!" He Wanting denied anxiously.
Xuemei felt that He Wanting's attitude was not right, so she asked, "Wanting, if these things had not happened today, would you have agreed to my second brother's pursuit?"
"I don't know. I'm afraid your second brother wants to date me because he feels he took advantage of me by going into the river to save me and because of the recent gossip in the village." He Wenting said in a low voice.
"Wanting, if this incident had not happened, would you be interested in my second brother? Or, if my second brother didn't want to date you because of these things, would you consider my second brother?" Xuemei asked again.
"Probably not. If these things hadn't happened, I don't think I would have had any intersection with your second brother. Your second brother is usually quite quiet. You know, it's hard for a girl like me to have any intersection with a boy like this?" He Wanting replied.
Mingwen is about 1.75 meters tall, about the same height as Liu's father; his face looks exactly like Liu Guanghui, with a square face, handsome eyebrows, and a tough appearance, but Mingwen has no stubble; his shoulders are broad and powerful, and his skin is bronze; he has a quiet temperament and doesn't like to talk much, but he is observant. Usually, the second brother is the first to notice when the second mother is unhappy.
Xuemei thought about Mingwen's personality. He would never say a word in front of people he didn't know, and would never take the initiative to say hello to someone he wasn't very familiar with, unless they were someone he knew very well.
Xuemei smiled and said, "That's right. Although my second brother looks like my second uncle, his personality is completely different. My second uncle is very sociable and has many friends, not to mention the number of people he knows. My second brother's friends can probably be counted on the palm of one hand. Wanting, after all this, do you have any feelings for my second brother?"
He Wanting blushed and said, "Your second brother has helped me so much. My heart is not made of steel or concrete. Isn't it normal to be a little moved?"
After He Wanting finished speaking, she looked at Xuemei's joking smile and quickly covered her face shyly.
"Okay, I'll stop laughing? So you're ready to agree to my second brother's request that you be his girlfriend?" Xuemei asked again.
"I'm still a little hesitant. I'm afraid your second brother doesn't like me. He just wants to be responsible for me. There's also the issue of Aunt Shuihua. My reputation has been so bad recently. Aunt Shuihua may not like me!" He Wenting said with some worry.
"I think my second brother likes you. Why was he closer to you than to me when he jumped into the river that day? He must have wanted to save you from the beginning. If you really agree to be my second brother's partner, he should handle the matter with my second mother. You can't interfere?" Xuemei analyzed.
"Do you really think your second brother likes me too?" He Wenting asked uncertainly.
"Of course, you are beautiful, a high school student, from a big city, and have a straightforward personality! It is my blessing that you like my second brother. I think not only my second brother likes you, but my second mother will like you too after she gets to know you?" Xuemei said sincerely.
As soon as Xuemei finished speaking, Ruirui knocked on the door and shouted that it was time for dinner.
Xuemei opened the door and saw Wang Shuihua and Mingwen had already come out and were sitting at the table in the main room.
"Sister, mom said we can eat after we finish cooking this dish!" Ruirui said.
"Okay, take Er Niang to wash her hands first!" Xuemei said to Ruirui.
"Why do I need Ruirui to take me there? I'm familiar with your house. I can go there by myself!" After saying that, Wang Shuihua looked at He Wenting behind Xuemei, then glanced at Mingwen and walked out of the main room.
Xuemei watched Wang Shuihua leave and said to Ruirui, "Ruirui, go to the kitchen and help serve the dishes. Go quickly!"
After Ruirui left, Xuemei said to Mingwen, "Second brother, come in for a moment. I have something to ask you!"
