"Sister Pearl, come in and sit down!" Huang Xiuhong grabbed Zhao Pearl's hand, unwilling to let her go.
Zhao Zhenzhu was delivering the gift on behalf of Aunt Tao; how could she not go home?
Huang Xiuhong's face burned with embarrassment as she recalled how Zhao Zhenzhu had just been stopped from entering the village by the children.
"Really, no need, maybe next time!" Zhao Zhenzhu politely declined.
"Sister Pearl, Xiuhong, what are you two doing?" At this moment, a familiar voice rang out.
Zhao Zhenzhu looked up and saw that it was He Bo.
"He Xiaobo, what are you doing here?" Zhao Zhenzhu asked in surprise.
Before He Bo could answer, a group of children surrounded him again.
"That's the bad guy!"
"You bastard, get out of Huangjia Village right now!"
"Protect Aunt Xiuhong, protect Aunt Xiuhong."
"Protect, Auntie!"
The children started chattering excitedly.
Zhao Zhenzhu seemed to realize something: it seemed that the "bad guy" Xiao Huzi was talking about, who brought a matchmaker to Huangjia Village to propose marriage to Huang Xiuhong, must be He Xiaobo.
Tsk... This He Xiaobo, he can't even propose marriage properly, he's really useless!
Zhao Zhenzhu looked at He Bo with a hint of disdain in her eyes.
"Little Tiger, Little Stone, Little Grass, Little Flower, everyone, don't be rude!" Huang Xiuhong's face flashed with annoyance when she saw the children yelling at He Bo.
“Aunt Xiuhong, the brigade leader told us to protect you well,” Little Stone said.
"That's right, that's right."
"Yeah yeah!"
The two little children echoed in agreement.
Huang Xiuhong's face looked rather unpleasant.
Indeed, the one who started all this was her father, Huang Youliang. She shouldn't have been angry with the children, like Xiao Shitou.
Huang Xiuhong recalled the scene from the day before yesterday when He Bo brought a matchmaker to her door.
The day before yesterday, Huang Xiuhong learned that He Bo had come to propose marriage, and she was both shy and happy.
Huang Xiuhong has a good impression of He Bo.
Huang Youliang asked Huang Xiuhong for her opinion, and just as Huang Xiuhong was about to agree, Huang Shujuan spoke up.
Huang Shujuan came to Huang Xiuhong's house to see what was going on.
Upon seeing the gifts brought by He Bo and the matchmaker, Huang Shujuan's eyes turned red with jealousy.
He Bo was generous, bringing gifts worth over a hundred yuan.
This is unique in Huangjia Village.
When Liang Xiaobao first visited Huang Shujuan's home, he only brought a gift worth a dozen yuan. Huang Shujuan was envied by the villagers for a long time.
Huang Shujuan was always jealous of Huang Xiuhong. She was jealous of Huang Xiuhong's good family background and how much Huang Xiuhong's parents and brothers doted on her.
Having finally found a suitable son-in-law like Liang Xiaobao, who lived in the town, Huang Shujuan was relieved that she could finally outdo Huang Xiuhong.
And what was the result?
He Bo, who came to Huang Xiuhong's house to propose marriage, also came from a family in the town. He was also an only child. He Bo was more handsome and capable than Liang Xiaobao.
Last time in town, Huang Shujuan saw Liang Xiaobao being extremely respectful to He Bo, calling him "Boss He".
If Huang Xiuhong's marriage goes through, wouldn't Huang Shujuan never be able to hold her head up in front of Huang Xiuhong for the rest of her life?
Thinking of this, Huang Shujuan pretended to be surprised and asked, "Oh! Isn't this Boss He? He was blocking Xiuhong's way in the alley last time! Why are you here to propose marriage today?"
After saying that, Huang Shujuan asked Huang Xiuhong with a surprised look, "Sister Xiuhong, when did you start dating Boss He? How come I didn't know?"
"Boss He?" The smile on Huang Youliang's face disappeared.
Huang Youliang is the head of Huangjia Village. He often goes to town for meetings and has naturally heard of the reputation of Boss He, the leader of the "Knights' Gang" in town.
What kind of chivalrous gang is this? No matter how nice the name sounds, it can't hide the fact that it's a gang of thugs.
What, Boss He?
He sounds impressive, but he's actually just a gang leader!
How could his pampered daughter possibly marry a gangster?
"Uncle, that's all in the past. Our gang disbanded a while ago, and now I'm doing business in the county town with a few friends," He Bo said hastily, sensing the situation was turning sour.
"You don't need to say anything more. My Xiuhong will not marry you. Take these things back and don't come back." Huang Youliang served tea to see the guest out.
Huang Youliang used a great deal of self-control to refrain from hitting He Bo.
Listen to what Huang Shujuan has to say.
He Bo actually blocked Xiu Hong in the alley. Isn't this the kind of tactic used by ancient hooligans to harass young ladies?
Now, He Bo still has the audacity to propose marriage? Does he really think the Huang family is easy to mess with?
"Uncle, let me explain..." He Bo said anxiously.
"No need to say anything more, I don't want to hear it." Huang Youliang stood up, went into the room, and made it clear that he didn't want to talk to He Bo.
"Stop talking, please!" Huang Xiuhong's elder brother, Huang Dajun, stood in front of Huang Xiuhong, blocking He Bo's gaze from looking at her.
"Don't forget to bring your things." Second Brother Huang Ermin picked up the basket from the table and placed it on the ground outside the gate.
And so, He Bo and the matchmaker were "sent" out of Huangjia Village under the watchful eyes of Huang Dajun and Huang Ermin.
After He Bo left, Huang Youliang grumbled and cursed at home.
One minute they're cursing He Bo for being so audacious as to flirt with their Xiu Hong. The next minute they're saying they'll break He Bo's legs if they see him again.
Finally, Huang Youliang instructed his sons to be alert during this time and to drive He Bo and the matchmaker from town away from Huangjia Village if they saw them.
Xiao Huzi has always had a good relationship with his aunt, Huang Xiuhong.
To prevent his aunt from being taken away by "bad guys," Xiao Huzi volunteered to lead a group of children to guard the village entrance every day after meals.
