"What happened?" He Hongjun asked.
"Just before the train got to the provincial city, there was a thief in our carriage who stole a woman with a child's money belt. I chased the thief to Educated Youth Xia's carriage. The thief tried to take Educated Youth Xia as a hostage, but Educated Youth Xia smacked him to the ground with a brick, and the thief was captured."
He Hongjun looked at his son, his eyes gleaming as he mentioned this, and nodded. "Educated Youth Xia has courage, truly a heroine. Last time there was a thief in the production team, Educated Youth Xia also performed outstandingly."
Li Shengmei, seeing both He Hongjun and He Xuebing so appreciative of Xia Xiao, felt infuriated inside. She did not admit that her own judgment was inferior to Zheng Xianghong's and said, "What's so good about Educated Youth Xia? Find a wife like Dong Meihua—plump and big-bottomed, good for birthing."
