Chapter 105: Recruiting a Husband
"That day I went back and discussed with Brother Liang for a long time. We decided to quit crime and start anew. Since we didn’t want to do it anymore, we wanted to say farewell to our past. One of our close brothers had been imprisoned and was now in the Northwest Farm for reform, and we came here specifically to visit him and give him a message."
"Wow, I didn’t see that coming, you’re really loyal and faithful!"
Houzi spoke earnestly, "We’re not inherently bad, it’s just that circumstances forced us..."

Lin Chuxia couldn’t help but almost burst out laughing, looking meaningfully at his bald head, "I do think you are truly ’Liang’ (bright)."
This eased the atmosphere among them a bit.
For the rest of the journey, Lin Chuxia didn’t interact much with the two, returning to her own seat.
