Chapter 223 -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 meet her at the village entrance, just in time 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 came 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 me? 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 something, but without uttering the last word, he followed Sheng Laosan home.

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!”

Some relished the disaster, Second Aunt Qin’s face turned as white as a sheet, but that was not enough –

some old folks in the village finally remembered 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 mention it, I remember, it really is him. He’s changed a lot, but his face looks the same.”

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 some rescue team matters, Sheng Laosan was in high spirits, finding his prospective son-in-law more satisfactory by the minute.

Shen Luhua came in with water, “Drink up, drink up!”

“Thank you!” To be honest, Xu Qigang kept his composure, but for the first time, 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 sentiment 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 lifetime and not let her suffer the slightest hardship.”

“I will!” Xu Qigang nodded earnestly.

“I believe you!” Sheng Laosan was eager to nod in agreement, 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 argument, the angrier she gets.

“I won’t.” He would coax her, pamper her.

“I believe you.” Sheng Laosan was busy again, showing his agreement.

This time, 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.
