Huang Youliang glared at Huang Xiuhong and said, "Xiuhong, go inside."
“Dad, He Bo isn’t a bad person.” Huang Xiuhong wanted to explain further.
"I told you to go back inside, so what? Does my word as your father not count?" Huang Youliang glared and got angry.
In just a short while, several villagers nearby had begun peering in their direction.
Huang Youliang just wants to clear his daughter's name as soon as possible. Otherwise, there might be even more unpleasant rumors about Huang Xiuhong circulating in the village tomorrow.
"Waaaaah... Dad, you're being unreasonable." Huang Xiuhong cried as she entered the house.
"Honey, hurry up and call the eldest son and the others over here." After scolding Huang Xiuhong away, Huang Youliang quickly ordered his wife to do her work.
"Old man, don't be angry, I'll be right there." Zhang Yuping hurriedly left.
Huang Youliang's sons all live nearby. However, at this moment, some are at work and others are at their jobs.
To get all her sons back, Zhang Yuping had to travel to several places.
Zhao Zhenzhu followed closely behind Huang Youliang as they walked out.
Upon seeing He Bo, Zhao Zhenzhu couldn't help but glare at him.
Wasn't I telling him to wait at the village entrance? Why did he end up at the Huang family's house?
This is bad, she hasn't even had a chance to clear He Xiaobo's name yet!
Just now, after Huang Shujuan left, Huang Youliang pressed her about Liang Xiaobao. Zhao Zhenzhu had just finished speaking and was about to steer the conversation towards He Bo when He Bo appeared in front of Huang Youliang.
Judging from Huang Youliang's state, He Bo is definitely going to give him a beating today. Moreover, it will only deepen Huang Youliang's hatred for He Bo.
what to do?
Zhao Zhenzhu had a sudden inspiration and made a gesture to He Bo.
He Bo understood. He steeled himself, knelt on the ground with a thud, and said, "Uncle, my feelings for Xiuhong are genuine. I was ignorant before and did spend a year in a gang, but I've long since reformed. Please, marry Xiuhong to me!"
Huang Youliang was stunned.
If He Bo had remained defiant, Huang Youliang would have readily ordered his men to beat him up. But now, He Bo had actually knelt before him?
He knelt down?
A man's knees are worth their weight in gold!
Aren't gangsters all arrogant and act like they're the boss? How could they kneel down to an old man like him?
Is it because they're absolutely smitten with Xiu Hong? Or has He Bo truly changed for the better?
Taking advantage of Huang Youliang's momentary daze, Zhao Zhenzhu winked at He Bo and feigned surprise, saying, "He Xiaobo, what are you doing here? Didn't you go to work in the county town today?"
"Sister Pearl, don't worry, the work has been arranged, it won't interfere with making money. I've come to explain the misunderstanding to Uncle." He Bo said with a wry smile.
"It's good that the work has been arranged. I thought you didn't want to do it anymore!" Zhao Zhenzhu said with a smile.
"Pearl, do you know Boss He?" Huang Youliang asked after regaining his senses.
“What do you mean, ‘Old He’? This is my neighbor, He Bo, I call him He Xiaobo. I’ve watched him grow up since he was little. Xiaobo has always been a filial son. Do you know his grandma, Aunt Hua? She often sells fried dough sticks at the market, and He Xiaobo started helping out at her stall when he was seven or eight years old,” Zhao Zhenzhu said with a smile.
Huang Youliang seemed to be deep in thought.
Grandma Hua's fried dough cakes are very famous in Peach Blossom Town.
Whenever Huang Youliang went to town, he would buy a few of Grandma Hua's stall whenever he saw her there, and then share them with everyone.
Several times, Huang Youliang saw a boy helping out at Grandma Hua's stall; he was very quick and efficient.
Previously, Huang Youliang had never connected the boy at the fried dough stall with "Boss He".
After Zhao Zhenzhu said that, Huang Youliang realized that He Bo's appearance was very similar to the boy in his memory.
Huang Youliang had also heard about Granny Hua's family affairs.
He Bo's mother died early, and his father was disabled. He Bo was raised by Granny Hua, who sold fried dough cakes for him.
Filial children, generally speaking, won't be too bad, no matter how bad they are.
Could it be that he really misunderstood He Bo?
He Bo's previous involvement with gangs was out of necessity, not because he was born a bad person.
Thinking of this, Huang Youliang's expression softened somewhat.
"Uncle, my feelings for Xiuhong are genuine. Please give me a chance. I swear I will treat Xiuhong well for the rest of my life. If I break this oath, may I be hit by a car, choke to death while eating, or drown while drinking water!" He Bo pressed his advantage and quickly made a solemn oath.
"Get up!" Huang Youliang's expression softened a bit.
With Zhao Zhenzhu's "endorsement," Huang Youliang's trust in He Bo has clearly increased.
He Bo's vow also moved Huang Youliang.
Although oaths are not always fulfilled, they do demonstrate the determination of the person making the oath.
Huang Youliang and Zhang Yuping have been married for so many years, and they have never made a solemn vow!
"Uncle, I..." He Bo wanted to express his determination.
"Are you getting up or not? If you don't, we can't talk anymore," Huang Youliang threatened, then turned and left.
Zhao Zhenzhu winked at He Bo.
He Bo quickly got up and followed Huang Youliang into the room.
"Pearl! From what you just said, it seems He Bo is doing the work for you now?" Huang Youliang asked after offering Zhao Zhenzhu a seat.
He Bo stood obediently to the side, not daring to interrupt or look around.
“Yes, I’m doing a small business now, and He Bo helps me manage it. Don’t worry, Uncle, He Bo earns over a hundred yuan a month, enough to support his family,” Zhao Zhenzhu said with a smile.
In this day and age, some people are prejudiced against doing business. They think it's speculation and profiteering, and that people will get caught sooner or later. On the contrary, they have a favorable impression of people who have a job.
