Hans' answer made Li Du felt like punching him. No wonder old Bryan said that if he was younger he would kill Hans with a gun. If some sneak had been sleeping with his daughter, he would have wanted to kill the man too.
However, this time Hans was not just looking for some fun. He wanted to marry the blond shepherdess, and even stayed on the farm, ready to give up his old life for her.
After knowing what happened, Li Du respected Hans' choice. He could see that Hans was very pleased with his life now and that he seemed happier than ever before.
Perhaps everyone had a childhood dream. Perhaps Hans had had enough of playing around. Perhaps Barbara had won him over, and he was going to be happily settled in this little traditional place called Riverdale.
In a way, it was the classic tale of an honest girl that reformed a playboy who had had enough of fooling around and was now ready to spend the rest of his life with her.
