But Li Rui didn't want to be too involved with the Hou family just because he saved people, so he would rather give all the credit to the young female doctor in the clinic.

"You said Guan Yan, then we must thank her later, but my father still saved her in the end. Just now he insisted on coming to thank you in person, but because his body is not strong enough and he has difficulty moving, he didn't.

come over."

It turns out that the female doctor's name is Guan Yan.

Hearing what Hou Liangping said, Li Rui couldn't help but smile to himself. The old man Hou Delin always wanted to save face, so there was no way he would come to thank him.

After collecting the things, Hou Xuening looked at Li Rui and said, "Li Rui, how do you want me to repay your favor?"

Li Rui chuckled and said, "I haven't thought about this yet."

Hou Liangping said at this time: "Li Rui, actually we have one more thing to tell you this time. You and Xuening are similar in age. Our Xuening is also a teacher in the village primary school. Today I will make the decision for her.

How about she marry you as your wife?"

Hou Xuening had said this before at the door of the clinic, but Li Rui refused at that time.

Aunt Six had been listening to them in the room. When she heard what Hou Liangping said, she hurriedly walked out.

"What? Liangping, don't make fun of Li Rui."

Mao Buyi drank some wine, but was still sober. After hearing what Hou Liangping said, a smile appeared on his face.

Hou Liangping said seriously: "This is no joke. Our Xuening is also willing, but Li Rui doesn't seem to be happy."

"Yes, I don't want to because I have a girlfriend."

Mao Buyi laughed and said, "Hahaha, Li Rui, when did you have a girlfriend? Why didn't I know? Don't bluff me."

At this time, Aunt Six came over and said, "Yes, Li Rui, I haven't seen you in contact with any girls. I think this guy from Xuening is quite nice. Why don't you consider it?"

"Sixth Aunt..."

Li Rui didn't expect that Mao Buyi and Aunt Six would show up like this, and he was suddenly at a loss.

"Old man, come here and I'll say a few words to you."

After Aunt Six finished speaking, she took Mao Buyi into the house.

Mao Buyi asked: "What do you want to say in hiding?"

Aunt Six said softly: "I think you really drank too much. Hou Liangping brought his daughter. Isn't this sincerity obvious? The two of us have to check this matter for Li Rui."

After listening to his mother-in-law's analysis, Mao Buyi felt that it was absolutely right.

But he would always remember the last time he took Li Rui to the Hou family to propose marriage, but was knocked out by Hou Delin's shovel, and the whole village almost laughed out loud.

"The reason why the Hou family agreed to this marriage is not because Li Rui is now capable. However, we cannot agree to this easily. Don't forget that Hou Delin still wants to kick Li Rui out today. If we

It’s so spineless to go up the slope like this.”

When Mao Buyi said this, Aunt Six asked in confusion: "Then what else do you want?"

Mao Buyi laughed in a low voice: "It's hard for me to say. We have to let Li Rui make his own decision on this matter. In the final analysis, he has nothing to do with us, so what we say doesn't count."

"Humph, what you said doesn't matter. He lives in our house, so it's different from my own child. If you don't tell me, then I'll tell him. Xiaoxiao is such a good girl and kind-hearted.

She is beautiful and completely different from Hou Delin. It will be our family's blessing to marry her back." After the sixth aunt finished speaking, she turned around and left the house.

"Hey, you damn old woman, what do you mean by our family? When did Li Rui become a member of our family?"

The atmosphere in the yard was a bit awkward. Li Rui stood there alone and did not speak to the Hou family.

Aunt Six walked over and said with a smile on her face: "Liangping, what you just said is true, right?"

(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)

Hou Liangping knew that Mao Buyi and Aunt Six had to discuss it. After all, it was a major life event for their children.

"Of course it's true. You haven't heard about what happened in the clinic in the afternoon, right? Our family, Xiao Ning, made a bet with your family, oh, no, with Li Rui. If my father is saved by him, then

Xu Ning agreed to marry him. No, Li Rui saved my father. Our Hou family has always kept their word in the village. Since Xu Ning lost the bet, she must marry Li Rui.

The whole village can testify."

It turned out that what the neighbor said was true. Aunt Six was extremely happy because she made a bet and took home such a good daughter-in-law.

Glancing at Hou Xuening, Aunt Six said softly: "Liangping, this is just a kid's joke. If it's because of a bet, let's forget about it. They don't have feelings for each other yet, so they won't get together if they insist on doing so.

Happiness is not."

Hou Liangping grinned and said: "That's nothing. There is no deeper feeling than the kindness of saving a life. A few days ago, Xuening was bitten by a snake in the back mountain. If Li Rui hadn't saved her, she would have been afraid of her life.

It’s no longer guaranteed a long time ago.”

"Oh, there's another matter?" Mao Buyi said deliberately, remembering the last time Li Rui was framed, and in order to preserve Hou Xuening's reputation, he dragged Li Rui to the Hou family to propose marriage, but was kicked out by Hou Delin.

"Old village chief, you noble man forgets things a lot, isn't it the last time you brought Li Rui to propose marriage, but my father kicked you out."

"That's right." Aunt Six said with a smile, "It's all a misunderstanding. It's over. It's over."

"Xiao Ning, please say a few words and tell me how you feel about Li Rui."

Hou Xuening stared straight at Li Rui and whispered: "I want to marry you."

Li Rui didn't expect her to say this directly.

"You want to marry, but I don't want to marry. I, Li Rui, cannot compete with your Hou family."

After all, he had always had some feelings for Hou Xuening on a male-female basis, so it was reasonable to refuse him directly.

Hearing what Li Rui said, Aunt Six immediately couldn't sit still and said, "Li Rui, what are you talking about? Xiaoxiao has already said so. Why are you so coy and ready to agree to it?"

Li Rui shook his head and said: "Sixth Aunt, marriage is my own business, so don't make the decision for me."

"You!" Aunt Six stomped her feet angrily and said, "Li Rui, do you look down on Aunt Six and me? Yes, we are indeed not related by blood, and we are not even relatives, but tell me, these

How does Aunt Nian treat you? She treats you like her own son. According to the orders of your parents and the words of the matchmaker, Aunt Six must arrange your marriage for you. If you don’t marry Xiao Xiao today, I will die now.

Look."

"Sixth Aunt, what are you talking about? How can I look down on you? My mother has been dead since I was a child. In fact, I have always regarded you as my own mother!"

Li Rui didn't expect that Aunt Six would threaten him with death because of this.

Just as he was about to speak, Mao Buyi said: "Li Rui, listen to me, you saved Xiao Xiao's life. This is fate. You can look at everything first. Yes, get along first and see how you two work together."

It’s not appropriate, let’s not talk about marriage first.”

Hearing Mao Buyi say the same thing, Li Rui could tell that the two guys had already discussed it before entering the house.

One of them threatened him with his life, and the other was very persuasive.

"Okay, okay, why don't I promise?"

Li Rui still nodded, thinking he was just coping.

When he heard that he agreed, Hou Liangping said with a smile: "Li Rui, you guys get along first. When the relationship is better, it won't be too late to get married. If you marry our Xuening, you don't have to pay a cent as a gift. We only care for you."

Just be nice to her."

Aunt Six and Mao Buyi looked at each other, both showing expressions of joy.

"Then let's

(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)

We have made an agreement, by the way, it is still early, Li Rui, please take Xiao Ning to visit your new house and get to know each other better."

Hou Liangping and others left, leaving Hou Xuening here.

Li Rui glanced at Hou Xuening and couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed. He had never encountered this kind of thing before.

Seeing both of them standing in the yard, Aunt Six urged: "Li Rui, take Xiao Xiao into the house for a walk. The house is really beautiful."

Li Rui then said: "Come in."

He entered the house first, and Hou Xuening followed him like a little daughter-in-law.

"Li Rui, you are so awesome. This is my first time to visit such a modern house." Hou Xuening said with a smile after entering the house on the first floor.

Li Rui chuckled and said: "This has nothing to do with me, and I didn't design the house. As for the modern thing you said, it means you haven't seen what the outside world is like. This kind of design is in a big city like the Imperial Capital.

It’s long past tense.”

"Really?" Hou Xuening was very surprised and asked, "They say you are from a big city outside, but it turns out you have been to the Imperial Capital!"

"Imperial Capital?" Li Rui smiled contemptuously and said, "Are you awesome?"

"Isn't it? It is the first of the five capitals of the Celestial Dynasty. I have never even been to Shancheng a few times. If I can go to the imperial capital to see it, it will be my greatest wish."

"What's so difficult about going to the Imperial Capital? Do you, the Hou family, still lack this little money?" Li Rui asked curiously.

Logically speaking, the Hou family is not a downtrodden family. Traveling to the imperial capital should not be a problem. How can they only have such an ideal?

"Hey, you don't know something. Our Hou family seems to be quite prosperous in Guicun, but in fact, it's just an empty shell. We are not from Guicun. We have no foundation here, not even a piece of land. My grandfather

We still have to spend a lot of money on dredging and management, and our family's little foundation has long been emptied."

"This is called pretending to be fat. However, with Hou Delin's prodigal style, it is not easy for your Hou family to survive until now."

"Yes, my grandfather is a stubborn person. My father also said that he is just a child now. He likes to fight with others and has some offenses. You and your uncle and aunt should not take it to heart. We will look at him in the future.
