Chapter 332 - 334 Li Shengmei’s Matchmaking
"Anyway, I’m not going to arrange a marriage for my children, but if they happen to like each other in the future, that’s fine," Xia Xiao stated bluntly.
Logically, Li Zhichuan was going to be a big leader, and the best way to build connections would be to become in-laws, but Xia Xiao didn’t have that mindset.
Not to mention she didn’t have children yet, even if she did, she couldn’t just decide a child marriage for them. What if they fell in love with someone else when they grew up? That would be harming them.
"Sister, big sister," Xia Jing and Yan Hao said.
Xia Xiao introduced to Li Zhenchuan and Ning Hui, "This is my sister Xia Jing, her partner Yan Hao, who is also our neighbor."
"I’ve heard about it, a young man travelled thousands of miles from north to south for your sister. He’s not bad," Li Zhenchuan commented.
Ning Hui was visibly moved, "Your sister is really lucky."
Yes, Xia Xiao nodded, mainly because it was a happy thing to be loved by the person one loves.
Ning Hui said to Xia Jing, "Your sister is married now, and soon it’ll be your turn."
Xia Jing blushed, but it was Yan Hao who somewhat sheepishly said, "When it’s time for our wedding, we’ll invite you to have wedding candies."
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone cheered, and Gao Jiaxing patted Yan Hao on the shoulder, "Work hard."
"Thanks, brother-in-law," Yan Hao was really fitting in now.
Xia Xiao then asked Xia Jing, "Where’s Sister Xuehua?"
"I saw Dong Meihua looking for her."
As soon as Xia Jing finished speaking, Xia Xiao frowned.
Dong Meihua was looking for Yang Xuehua. What was she planning?
Shortly after, Xia Xiao saw Yang Xuehua come over with a face full of indignation, and Xia Xiao approached her, asking, "What happened?"
Yang Xuehua said angrily, "Li Shengmei wants to matchmake me."
"Who?" Xia Xiao asked.
"Gao Guo Cheng."
As soon as Yang Xuehua’s words fell, Xia Xiao burst out laughing and sprayed.
"Has Li Shengmei lost her mind, trying to match you with Gao Guo Cheng?" Xia Xiao felt like Li Shengmei’s brain had taken on water.
Gao Guo Cheng was going for who he likes, supposedly willing to stay single for them forever. Yet, Li Shengmei actually thought of marrying Yang Xuehua to Gao Guo Cheng. Wasn’t that sickening?
Not to mention that Gao Guo Cheng was an old man. Wasn’t Li Shengmei bullying too much?
Even if Yang Xuehua’s current status was not good, Xia Xiao believed Yang Xuehua could find someone better. There were so many young men in the production team, anyone would be better than Gao Guo Cheng.
Yang Xuehua said, "She disgusted me completely, pretending all the while that it was for my own good. I really wanted to spit in her face."
Xia Xiao said, "Sister Xuehua, don’t get angry over such sickening people. It’s not worth it. If you want to marry, then choose Hong Xing, or perhaps even Gao Guoqing’s younger son. I’ll help you with the matchmaking."
Xia Xiao felt that Hong Xing and Gao Guoqing’s younger son Gao Guangming were decent choices, but whoever it was, it definitely couldn’t be Gao Guo Cheng.
Although Ning Hui had dreamt that Xuehua and Jiazhi eventually opened a school, it didn’t necessarily mean they ended up together.
If Xuehua wanted to marry, then perhaps Hong Xing would be a better choice, as he seemed more reliable.
However, since Hong Xing belonged to the Red Star Production Team, which Xia Xiao didn’t like, there was another option, Guangming.
But Guangming was a bit young, and it was uncertain if he would agree; by now, Xia Xiao was already filled with thoughts of arranging a match for Xuehua.
Xuehua was originally very angry, but hearing Xia Xiao’s words, she laughed, "What nonsense, I don’t want to marry, I’m not interested in marriage right now."
Xuehua shook her head; compared to marriage, she was more afraid of losing friends like Xia Xiao and Ning Hui.
But Li Shengmei’s recent words only made Xuehua feel humiliated; she, Xuehua, despite everything, wouldn’t marry an old man from the countryside who already had someone else in his heart.
Now that Xuehua had rejected her, Li Shengmei was very dissatisfied, "It’s just a bad match, being looked at by someone is already good enough; don’t be so picky."
Dong Meihua didn’t speak, although her relationship with Xuehua wasn’t good at the moment, she still felt that pairing Xuehua with Gao Guo Cheng would be a deplorable act.
"Mom, are you matchmaking for my uncle, does he want it?" Dong Meihua asked.
Li Shengmei paused, "Of course he wants to."
Dong Meihua looked at Li Shengmei and fell silent. She had just fought with He Xuexiang and thought Li Shengmei would scold her when she returned home; instead, Li Shengmei mediated.
Because of Li Shengmei’s mediation, Dong Meihua’s relationship with He Xuexiang had slightly improved, so she felt grateful towards Li Shengmei.
Dong Meihua knew she had made a mistake, but that was her mother, she couldn’t help it when she cried. However, she regretted not leaving any money for herself; Dong Meihua was too embarrassed to ask back, but didn’t expect her mother hadn’t thought about leaving some travel money for them.
It was only when He Xuexiang got angry that Dong Meihua braced herself to ask her mother for travel expense, which was indeed a foolish action, but Dong Meihua did it.
Being scolded by He Xuexiang, she also felt wronged, so the two also had an argument.
But, Dong Meihua didn’t know that Li Shengmei didn’t neglect the money because of lack of concern, but because she was distracted temporarily by the matter of her grandchild.
Li Shengmei was now desperate for a grandchild. If Dong Meihua and He Xuexiang continued to have friction, where would the grandchild come from? That’s why Li Shengmei tried to reconcile them.
But internally, she harshly criticized Dong Meihua, who had married into the He Family but still transferred money back to her maternal home.
Even Li Shengmei privately told He Xuexiang that he shouldn’t give Dong Meihua so much money anymore, calling her a spendthrift who couldn’t save money, suggesting it was better kept with her.
If Dong Meihua knew that Li Shengmei’s advice had caused He Xuexiang to send her less money, she wouldn’t know what to think.
However, at this moment, Dong Meihua still felt very grateful towards Li Shengmei, so when Li Shengmei asked her to find Xuehua, and she knew Li Shengmei wanted to match Xuehua with Gao Guo Cheng, she thought it inappropriate and didn’t persuade otherwise.
Moreover, Dong Meihua, unsure of her own motives, upon seeing Xia Xiao, approached and said, "You should persuade Xuehua. Her background isn’t good, and she’s getting older, she won’t find anyone good; Gao Guo Cheng is in his forties, not too old..."
Xia Xiao really wanted to slap her, she snorted and laughed, "Sister Xuehua’s background might not be good, but she wouldn’t want an old man with his heart elsewhere, right, Dong Meihua?"
Dong Meihua’s face flushed slightly, knowing what Xia Xiao meant; if this got out, it wouldn’t reflect well on Li Shengmei and it would also impact the He Family.
"That was just a past matter," Dong Meihua said.
"So you admit it then," Xia Xiao remarked. "I think Luo Su’e isn’t bad, if you talk to her, she would definitely be willing."
Dong Meihua paused, gazed deeply at Xia Xiao, and said, "You really care about Xuehua."
