Chapter 125: Chapter 124: Have a Fiancee Now (Monthly Tickets 395+)

For the sake of her son, Zheng Xianghong still asked Xia Xiao, "This time you returned, your family didn’t introduce you to anyone."

Xia Xiao honestly shook his head, "My family told me not to rush into finding someone. It’s not too late even if it takes another ten or eighteen years, and they want me to bring someone back for them to see."

Upon hearing this, Zheng Xianghong thought, ten to eighteen years, and still needing to bring someone back for family approval, her son’s chances were even slimmer. How could people from the big city possibly like a poor son-in-law from the countryside? Even if he had gone to university, he might not be deemed suitable.

After Xia Xiao had left, Zheng Xianghong said, "See, your chances are slim."

"Mom, can you not be so discouraging?" Gao Jiaxing expressed his dissatisfaction. How could he not know whether his chances were slim?

Zheng Xianghong then said, "You’d better focus on your studies, get into a university, secure a respectable job; otherwise, what will you use to pursue Xia Xiao? Her family doesn’t think highly of you either."

Gao Jiaxing fell silent.

Zheng Xianghong didn’t say more, letting her son figure things out on his own. It would be best if he could accept the situation.

Meanwhile, when Xia Xiao left the Gao family’s place, she ran into Yang Xuehua, "Sister Xuehua, what are you doing here?"

"I wanted to find you," Yang Xuehua said.

"Oh, then let’s go for a walk," Xia Xiao suggested, noticing Yang Xuehua seemed troubled.

Yang Xuehua nodded and they walked toward a secluded area, arm in arm.

"What’s wrong with the dormitory? As soon as I returned, I felt the atmosphere was off," Xia Xiao said.

"It’s Feng Ying. Ever since you left, she started targeting me," Yang Xuehua explained.

Xia Xiao nodded; she had suspected as much. She listened as Yang Xuehua continued, "She’s been visiting Secretary Li almost every day. The whole production team knows about it. Whenever she hits a wall, she comes back and takes it out on me, acting all passive-aggressive."

Xia Xiao, who also had a deep understanding of the situation, asked Yang Xuehua, "What’s the situation with you and Secretary Li?"

Yang Xuehua shook her head, "Nothing much, Secretary Li is not easy to approach, just like Sun Yuhua said—seemingly amiable and approachable but polite and distant."

"Sister Xuehua, do you have feelings for Secretary Li?" Xia Xiao inquired. frёewebηovel.cѳm

Yang Xuehua nodded and then shook her head, "Honestly, I did at first, but from my interaction over this period, Secretary Li is not easy to figure out, too elusive. Living with such a person wouldn’t be easy, if he doesn’t want you to know something, you surely won’t."

Xia Xiao nodded, "Sister Xuehua, don’t worry too much. Some things are better left to nature. I think Secretary Li probably prefers simplicity, maybe dislikes targeted approaches, and he’s quite guarded towards people."

Yang Xuehua looked at Xia Xiao in surprise and praised her, "Xia Xiao, you’re quite perceptive; I feel the same way."

Xia Xiao blushed slightly. Yang Xuehua continued, "I wrote to my family, and they told me Secretary Li already has a fiancée back home, so drop that thought. Don’t pair me up with Secretary Li anymore."

Ah, he has a fiancée.

Xia Xiao was embarrassed; she had only asked about whether Secretary Li was married, forgetting that in this era, having a fiancée was significant.

Xia Xiao nodded immediately, "Let’s not think about it then. There are plenty of good men, choosing one you can share your heart with is good enough." Xia Xiao also felt that being in a relationship with someone as inscrutable as Secretary Li might be asking for trouble.

Yang Xuehua also nodded. Xia Xiao didn’t discuss Secretary Li with Yang Xuehua anymore, considering he had a fiancée.

Yang Xuehua said, "To be honest, when I knew he had a fiancée, I was quite disappointed, a bit upset, but I’ve made such a mistake before. If I interfered, I’d be no better than Liu Yue. I’m actually grateful that I communicated with my family early on. Otherwise, if I got more involved, that would be troublesome."

Xia Xiao patted her chest, "Thank goodness. I’m sorry, Sister Xuehua, I overlooked that, almost causing trouble. I just thought you and Secretary Li matched well, both from the Capital, it seemed perfect, but I didn’t consider that him not being married doesn’t mean he doesn’t have a fiancée."

Yang Xuehua nodded and squeezed Xia Xiao’s hand, "My family told me not to rush; wait a few more years to see if policies change. If we can go back, finding someone then wouldn’t be too late."

"My family said the same thing," Xia Xiao smiled, it seemed parents’ thoughts were always alike.

"Here," Xia Xiao handed a chicken egg to Yang Xuehua.

"A chicken egg? You actually carried it with you?" Yang Xuehua laughed.

Xia Xiao pouted and smiled, "My mom boiled ten for me. I didn’t dare eat on the train; the smell was too strong, I was afraid I’d vomit, so I didn’t eat them. When I returned to the dorm, I intended to share them with you all, but felt the atmosphere was off, so I didn’t bring them out."

Yang Xuehua nodded, "It’s good you didn’t; otherwise, it might have made things worse considering how resentful Feng Ying is now."

"Sister Xuehua, you haven’t told her about Secretary Li having a fiancée, have you?" Xia Xiao asked.

Yang Xuehua shook her head, "How could I say that? Secretary Li himself doesn’t mention it; if I did, I’d be seen as a gossip, and Feng Ying is definitely not someone who could keep a secret."

Xia Xiao nodded, this matter indeed shouldn’t be discussed openly, and if it came out, Secretary Li would first suspect Yang Xuehua—then how would he view her?

Thus, Xia Xiao also agreed to keep it to herself, pretending not to know.

Yang Xuehua peeled the egg and ate it, saying, "When I go home, my mom likes to boil eggs for me. Now, I can’t even smell the egg’s odor in the production team."

Xia Xiao laughed, "It will be possible soon. In the city, people can already cook privately, not necessarily having to eat communal meals."

Yang Xuehua’s eyes brightened, "That would be great, being able to cook whatever we want."

Xia Xiao nodded, "I’m looking forward to it too." She paused before adding, "But there are conflicts in our dorm now; if we cook privately, it’s impossible to have two stoves in one dorm, which won’t be easy."

"That’s not a problem; we can cook separately, make our own meals, it won’t interfere with anyone," Yang Xuehua was eager for the ability to cook privately, tired of several years of communal meals.

And now that life was a bit easier, cooking on a small stove would certainly taste better than communal cooking.

Xia Xiao was looking forward to it too, but still mentioned, "It’s uncertain how the production team will handle this, it might still be communal."

"Mm, it depends on what the county decides," Yang Xuehua said. "Since you just went to the captain’s house, you could mention the city’s situation to Zheng Xianghong. If Zheng Xianghong wants to cook herself, she will definitely talk to the captain, who can inquire at the county during meetings."
