Daily Life in the 70s-Chapter 35 - Conclusion

Aside from immutable innate conditions, whatever other requirements you have, I am willing to do my best to fulfill them, and let everyone be my witness.

This is my sincere intention, and I hope Uncle Yang will consider it.” Huang Jianxin stood up, glanced around at everyone in the courtyard, and finally rested his gaze on Yang Dahai, his eyes revealing a threatening and determined stance.

This situation was unlikely to end well, Yang Dahai thought to himself.

But even if he were no longer the production team leader, he would not let his own daughter marry Huang Jianxin.

Setting aside the issue of remarriage, the intimidation and forceful demeanour were things he absolutely detested.

He looked towards Shen Yiguang.

After discussing with Zhang Minghua, he genuinely approved of this young man, both professionally and in spirit.

He had already agreed in his heart, and Shen Yiguang’s presence here now meant that the idea he had discussed with Zhang Minghua before remained unchanged.

However, at this point, he couldn’t be certain whether Shen Yiguang was willing to endure the retaliation from Huang Jianxin or accept a wife who might bring him trouble.

Shen Yiguang could see his concerns and nodded solemnly to Yang Dahai, whispering, “If Uncle still looks favorably upon me, I am delighted!

My parents have already prepared to make a formal marriage proposal.

Please, rest assured.”

“Good!” Yang Dahai felt relieved, nodded to him, and firmly stood up.

He looked around at everyone and slowly said, “So, I might as well tell you all now.

Initially, we were planning to discuss this after the New Year, but now if I don’t speak, I’m afraid Mr.

Huang and everyone here might misunderstand.”

“A few days ago, Shen Yiguang saved my Pei Min, and afterwards, our two families have been in touch.

We know each other’s situation fairly well, and the two youngsters seem to be a good match in age.

So we have this intention and thought about arranging a meeting between our two families in a few days to settle the match.

Mr.

Huang, I’m sorry, because it’s not settled, it’s not right to speak out.

We are very grateful for your kindness, and I apologize for any inconvenience caused.

Yang apologizes once again,” Yang Dahai bowed slightly towards Huang Jianxin, full of apology.

Pei Min was just a little delayed coming out, as she had Yang Peiying tend to her hand with new medicine, and she only learned of the turmoil outside upon her arrival.

Huang Jianxin’s face turned red and green.

Clenching his molars, he nodded repeatedly at Yang Dahai, suddenly laughed – those close by did not feel any joy in his laughter, but rather found it quite unnerving – “Uncle Yang truly holds to his word.

Since that’s the case, I’ll look forward to Comrade Pei Min’s happy occasion.

I also hope Uncle Yang remains steadfast in his vision and will not regret it.

I have other matters to attend to, so I won’t disturb any longer, farewell.”

After saying this, he gave Shen Yiguang a special glance, as if etching his image into memory.

Shen Yiguang’s expression unchanged, stood up and smiled, “My apologies for the poor reception, I’ll see you out.”

Huang Jianxin nodded noncommittally, turned around, and his eyes swept over this side one last time.

Then, he saw Pei Min among the group of women.

He hesitated in his step; even among a crowd of drab colors, she stood out like a bright painting, elegant and beautiful.

With a flicker in his gaze, Huang Jianxin lifted his foot, his body leaning slightly in Pei Min’s direction, as if he was about to walk over.

Shen Yiguang stepped up, blocking his path on the left, exactly where he wanted to go, obscuring his view of Pei Min.

Shen Yiguang extended his hand, gesturing towards the gate in an inviting manner, “Mr.

Huang, this way, please.

I’ll escort you out.”

Pei Min turned and went back inside the house.

Huang Jianxin’s gaze fell on Shen Yiguang’s calm face, his eyes fierce, and he sneered with a hint of contempt, “Then let’s go.”

Once outside, Huang Jianxin stopped in his tracks and asked in a cold voice, “I wonder which village Mr.

Shen is from?

Such courage indeed befits a soldier.

When I have the time, I would like to pay a proper visit.”

Shen Yiguang met his gaze steadily, confident and unyielding, his voice resonant and strong, “I am from Daji Village.

You flatter me, Mr.

Huang.

We should do things willingly.

You know yourself that a forced melon isn’t sweet.

There must be many ladies willing to marry Mr.

Huang.

Although my home is modest, I am willing to welcome you.”

Huang Jianxin scoffed, giving him a cold glance, knowing that there was nothing more to say at this point.

He didn’t want to further lower his stature, so he turned and rode away on his bicycle.

When Shen Yiguang returned to the banquet, people were much warmer to him.

He knew it was because Yang Dahai had affirmed his status.

He responded with smiles and quickly scanned the area.

Not seeing Pei Min, he put aside his feelings for the moment.

Pei Min was surrounded by a group of young women and ladies.

“Minmin, who would have thought, you had a partner all this time without making a peep.

If it weren’t for Uncle Yang’s announcement today, when would we have found out?”

“Exactly, you really should have said something.

What was the deal with Mr.

Huang?”

“Mr.

Huang seemed pretty good too.

I heard he is a leader at the Cooperative Society.

How accomplished he must be!

Could you really bear to refuse him?”

“Why couldn’t she refuse?

Shen Jiajun is even better, isn’t he?

And he’s a better match for Minmin too.”

“Minmin, did you guys choose each other, or was it your parents’ arrangement?”

Pei Min felt overwhelmed.

She wanted to ask someone if this was alright.

In just half a day, she had become someone’s fiancée.

Did anyone ask for her opinion?

“You all sit down.

I think I hear my mother calling me.

I’ll step out for a moment.” Pei Min didn’t bother with the chattering group of women, squeezed through the crowd, and fled back to her room.

She didn’t want to step out of that room again.

The people hungry for gossip outside were terrifying.
