Wealthy Beauty in the 60s

Xia Xiao looked at Dong Meihua and said, "Do you know, after I was bitten by a poisonous snake, the first thing I saw when I opened my eyes was Sister Xuehua and you taking care of me. At that time, I was very grateful to you and treated you well. But you weren’t the same towards me, you smiled on the surface, but you had a lot of complaints against me in your heart."

Dong Meihua turned her face away slightly and said, "We cannot possibly be friends, I can’t stand your fakeness...".

Xia Xiao laughed and said, "But you are envious of my good relationship with Yang Xuehua."

Continuing, Xia Xiao said, "You never understand me, nor should you jump to conclusions, that’s just what you think. What kind of person I am, time will prove, and it’s enough that my friends and relatives know, I don’t need your opinion."

Xia Xiao didn’t talk to Dong Meihua anymore and just left.

People with different paths do not make plans together, she and Dong Meihua were never on the same page, with different ways of thinking, how could they possibly get along well.

"What did she want from you?" Yang Xuehua asked.

Ning Hui also came over, Xia Xiao said, "She asked me to persuade you to marry Gao Guocheng, what kind of person is this?"

"What?" Ning Hui exclaimed, "What does she mean, Dong Meihua wants Xuehua to marry Gao Guocheng, that old bachelor Gao Guocheng?"

Yang Xuehua nodded helplessly, "It’s Li Shengmei, I don’t know why she took a liking to me, she wants to be a matchmaker, saying that my social status is not good, marrying Gao Guocheng would be most suitable."

"I’m disgusted," Ning Hui pretended to retch. "How can Li Shengmei be so repulsive, everyone knows about Gao Guocheng. He’s been single his whole life for Li Shengmei, he might still have feelings for her, and yet Li Shengmei wants you to marry Gao Guocheng, an old man no less, why doesn’t she just drop dead."

At this moment, Ning Hui’s temper flared like a cannon, if Li Shengmei were here, Ning Hui might have let her have it.

While others may have concerns about Li Shengmei, Ning Hui was not afraid, and it was bullying, after all.

"Ning Hui, the He family holds a special position in the production team, and not to mention Li Shengmei’s maternal family is the Gao family, if even Gao Guocheng had intentions, then Sister Xuehua would really be in trouble," Xia Xiao said with some concern.

After all, Yang Xuehua’s social status was not good, and although the production team’s people were good to Yang Xuehua, if even Gao Guocheng harbored such thoughts, Yang Xuehua would have trouble.

"Don’t worry, I’ll definitely take care of this," Ning Hui said.

Xia Xiao breathed a sigh of relief, thinking about going back and probing Gao Guoqiang and Zheng Xianghong. What was most important was to see what attitudes Gao Guoqiang and Zheng Xianghong had, and since Zheng Xianghong also disliked coercion and disapproved of Li Shengmei’s actions, she would definitely intervene.

Yang Xuehua said, "I will not marry him."

Xia Xiao looked at Yang Xuehua, "Sister Xuehua, it’s not as simple as you not getting married to settle this. I am afraid they will latch onto your social status as the issue, which is the real trouble. If Gao Guocheng is persuaded by Li Shengmei and the Gao family is willing, and you refuse, the Gao family might become unhappy. Considering your social status is not good, they may think it’s already not bad that someone is willing to marry you, so if they really force you to marry and you are unwilling, your only choice may be to marry someone else."

Ning Hui frowned, "Xia Xiao is right, I’m afraid they’re going to make a fuss about social status."

Ning Hui continued, "Although Li Zhenchuan is the secretary of the production team, dealing with social status can be like stirring up a hornet’s nest."

Yang Xuehua sighed, "But I can’t just marry myself off carelessly, then my life would be hopeless."

Yang Xuehua was also not reconciled in her heart, how could she be willing, how could she agree.

Seeing everyone heavily burdened with worries, Xia Xiao said, "Things haven’t reached the worst yet, don’t worry, and they can’t force someone, right? The captain isn’t that kind of person. We have to consider the worst, but we also shouldn’t be too pessimistic, the Guangming Production Team is much better after all, just look next door, that’s where real trouble is."

When Xia Xiao mentioned next door, Yang Xuehua nodded, "Yes, I’m thankful I was assigned to the Guangming Production Team, if I were assigned next door, I wouldn’t dare imagine what my fate would have been."

Xia Xiao nodded, next door was Luo Mingzhe and Liu Yue’s territory, and Liu Yue’s relationship with Yang Xuehua, well, if they were in the same production team, she would have made Yang Xuehua’s life a living hell.

Upon returning home at noon, Xia Xiao talked to Gao Jiaxing about Yang Xuehua’s situation. She said, "Brother Gao, Sister Xuehua has already rejected Li Shengmei, but who knows if Li Shengmei will understand, it will be troublesome if she tries to use Sister Xuehua’s social status against her."

Xia Xiao’s dislike for Li Shengmei had increased, especially after Li Shengmei targeted Yang Xuehua, it was like stepping on a landmine for Xia Xiao.

Gao Jiaxing frowned and said, "The production team is not for her to dictate, and to matchmake for Uncle Guocheng, he also has to agree."

"Gao Guocheng is your paternal uncle, right, Brother Gao? Isn’t it said that he liked Li Shengmei and remained unmarried all these years because of her? What if he’s persuaded by Li Shengmei?"

Yang Xuehua wasn’t lacking either, what if Gao Guocheng actually took an interest? That was what Xia Xiao was worried about.

"You’re overthinking it, Uncle Guocheng is a man of principle, and he’s a good person, aside from his poor choice of having his eyes on Li Shengmei, everything else is pretty good about him."

Gao Jiaxing went on to tell Xia Xiao about Gao Guocheng’s past. Gao Guocheng was a decent young man and had an opportunity to go to the city to learn skills, but he gave it all up for Li Shengmei.

Just to stay in the countryside for Li Shengmei, who never had any regard for him, and in the end, he even wasted his prime years. As everyone knew of his feelings for Li Shengmei, no one dared to marry their daughter to him.

Xia Xiao said, "I don’t care if he was good before or now, but he’s nearly fifty years old, to have Sister Xuehua marry a man of such age and with his heart set on someone else, that’s worse than marrying Hong Xing. I think Hong Xing is not bad, but since Hong Xing is from the Red Star Production Team, I never considered him, otherwise marrying Hong Xing would be better than Gao Guocheng. Or your cousin Gao Guangming could work too."

Gao Jiaxing said, "Forget about Gao Guangming, we’re talking about uncle and nephew here, and they live in the same courtyard, how could that be comfortable?"

Xia Xiao nodded her head, "I wasn’t serious about Gao Guangming either, I was just mentioning it."

Xia Xiao was worrying about Yang Xuehua’s situation. People with good social status normally wouldn’t marry someone with a poor one. If two people with poor statuses got married, it would be a life filled with anxiety and without any sense of security; such a marriage might as well be avoided.
