Chapter 223: Chapter 226: Proposal Visit Chapter 223: Chapter 226: Proposal Visit “Sheng Laosan is my dad. What do you want at my place?” Sheng Antian wasn’t afraid, but she did feel a bit terrified in front of Xu Qigang.
“Naughty girl, don’t be disrespectful.” Sheng Laosan guessed An’an should be heading back from selling bean sprouts and went to et her at the village entrance, just in ti to bump into this encounter.
He was an old comrade; Xu Qigang’s clothes were unfamiliar to him, but he recognized the epaulettes.
A hero from the youth, truly promising.
Being an old comrade, everything was ingrained in Sheng Laosan’s bones. When he ca back, he was a squad leader; now seeing a captain-level leader, his first instinct was to greet him.
Xu Qigang replied solemnly.
This was an understanding and mutual respect.
The onlookers were terrified and speechless; were they… did they hear wrong? A leader?
Sheng Laosan patted Xu Qigang’s shoulder, brimming with pride, “Looking for ? Let’s go to my house.”
A hint of discomfort slowly appeared on Xu Qigang’s calm face. With his lips pressed together, he wanted to say sothing, but without uttering the last word, he followed Sheng Laosan ho.
This was his father-in-law? Being called a leader by his father-in-law, that didn’t feel good!
After Sheng Laosan took the guest away, the crowd started a flurry of discussion. Each person’s words revolved around Xu Qigang.
“When did Sheng’s third family add such an impressive relative? We’ve never seen him before!”
“Could it be he’s here to propose marriage?”
“Don’t talk nonsense, as if anyone would want Sheng Ning even with money attached.”
“I told you the guy couldn’t possibly be a thief.”
“Second Aunt Qin, you said he was a thief; just wait for bad luck now!”
So relished the disaster, Second Aunt Qin’s face turned as white as a sheet, but that was not enough – so old folks in the village finally rembered who Xu Qigang was.
“Isn’t that Little Yama? Gone for many years, and I heard he was at a rescue scene a few years ago.”
“Little Yama? Now that you ntion it, I rember, it really is him. He’s changed a lot, but his face looks the sa.”
Speaking of Little Yama’s reputation, it was much bigger than Xu Xianxiong’s.
Now Second Aunt Qin looked even more troubled; she dared to offend everyone except the families of scoundrels.
*****
In Sheng Ning’s house’s living hall, Sheng Laosan and Xu Qigang were sitting face to face. After chatting about so rescue team matters, Sheng Laosan was in high spirits, finding his prospective son-in-law more satisfactory by the minute.
Shen Luhua ca in with water, “Drink up, drink up!”
“Thank you!” To be honest, Xu Qigang kept his composure, but for the first ti, he felt an unprecedented nervousness.
That’s right, our Living Yama, the rescue hero, was now so nervous he was sweating palms.
“Are you here to propose?” Shen Luhua didn’t share Sheng Laosan’s sentint about the rescue team. She cut straight to the point: “Our Ningning is precious! If you want to marry her, you must treat her well for a lifeti and not let her suffer the slightest hardship.”
“I will!” Xu Qigang nodded earnestly.
“I believe you!” Sheng Laosan was eager to nod in agreent, but as soon as he finished speaking, Shen Luhua gave him a glare.
“Our girl has a temper.”
“I won’t argue with her.”
“But you can’t ignore her either.” Shen Luhua knew Ningning’s temper; the more you ignore her during an argunt, the angrier she gets.
“I won’t.” He would coax her, pamper her.
“I believe you.” Sheng Laosan was busy again, showing his agreent.
This ti, it wasn’t just Shen Luhua giving a glare; even An’an, who was eavesdropping at the door, sent one over.
“Do you two know each other?” Shen Luhua asked, puzzled.
