Wealthy Beauty in the 60s-Chapter 150 - 149: What you hold in your heart is dog shit, and that’s how you see others too.

Chapter 150: Chapter 149: What you hold in your heart is dog shit, and that’s how you see others too.

Li Shengmei’s face turned dark immediately; she had forgotten about that Chapter of her life, and now, being brought up again, she felt shame. Back then, in order to write letters to Guoqiang from the army, Li Shengmei had learned to read and write. However, her literacy was limited, and the effort had led to some embarrassing situations, which she was reluctant to be reminded of.

"Exactly, Li Shengmei, you really went too far this time, even intercepting the letters your son wrote to Xia Xiao. Are you part of the army too? If not, what you’re doing would be considered a mistake," everyone now felt that what Li Shengmei did was excessive. free𝑤ebnovel.com

"Yes, Xia Xiao didn’t say anything wrong. You’re already at odds with her; how could she possibly date your son? Now, it seems like you’re only regressing, causing trouble every day without knowing what you’re trying to achieve."

Li Shengmei retorted angrily, "Who said it’s impossible? Perhaps she is trying to get revenge on me by seducing my son to turn against me."

Xia Xiao couldn’t help but laugh at this. She said, "When a person’s soul is at peace, and they have set aside the trivial, ugly complexities of the world, they start to believe in the existence of beauty. Everything they see, naturally, becomes beautiful, including themselves and others. What’s in your heart is what you see. Of course, if your heart is full of crap, then you’re bound to see everyone else as crap too."

Once Xia Xiao made this remark, everyone burst into laughter. Some might not have fully understood, but they got the gist, especially the last part, which was simple, direct, and harsh.

Li Shengmei was furious and well-aware that Xia Xiao was indirectly insulting her. But at this time, everyone was on Xia Xiao’s side, and Li Shengmei was not even certain if her son was truly dating Xia Xiao. If the matter escalated, Li Shengmei wouldn’t come out looking good.

If it had been before Li Zhenchuan arrived, Li Shengmei might not have had any reservations. However, after being dealt with by He Hongjun previously, she dared not make a big fuss anymore, and, most importantly, she wasn’t confident.

"You’d better not be dating my son, or I won’t let you off," Li Shengmei left with these parting words, storming off with Dong Meihua following closely behind.

With Li Shengmei gone, everyone comforted Xia Xiao, "Don’t mind her. Ever since she became the women’s director, she’s been even more self-important."

"Exactly, it’s a pity that there are few educated women in the brigade with limited experience."

Xia Xiao nodded to herself. In the countryside, there were very few women who could read and write. Zheng Xianghong was somewhat literate, but the Gao family had already produced a production team leader like Guoqiang, and with Lin Xuebi working in the canteen, and Li Shengmei’s stepfather being the custodian, if Zheng Xianghong became the women’s director, the brigade leadership would be completely dominated by the Gao family.

And it was Li Shengmei who had become the women’s director because she could read and write to some extent, and was not illiterate. However, her stable position owed much to He Hongjun.

At this time, officials below the large brigade level didn’t receive a salary, but they were still respected. Yet, with Li Shengmei serving as women’s director, nobody took that position seriously.

After spending around ten days with Li Shengmei, Xia Xiao could see that the deference shown to Li Shengmei was more about giving face to the He family than genuine respect.

After parting with the group, Xia Xiao returned to her dormitory, feeling uneasy. He Xuebing’s pursuit had sparked some hope in her, but Li Shengmei had dealt her a harsh blow in reality.

As refreshed as she felt after striking back at Li Shengmei, she now felt equally uneasy.

He Xuebing’s letter had invited her to come to the army, and Xia Xiao wondered if she would go if the letter had reached her hands.

She thought that she might, after all, she had a space and could become invisible. Maybe, if her mind got muddled, she might just go.

Now, Xia Xiao felt somewhat relieved by Li Shengmei’s actions, which had sobered her up. She and He Xuebing were fundamentally incompatible; Li Shengmei was already making trouble, and who knew how much more there would be if they were actually together? It certainly wouldn’t end there.

Their relationship had yet to begin, and Xia Xiao didn’t wish to continue anymore.

This was no longer about courage; it was He Xuebing’s mother. To be with He Xuebing meant she had to face Li Shengmei’s opposition every day, even every moment. That feeling was exhausting; there wasn’t a single moment of relaxation.

Xia Xiao was tired now, so she wrote a letter to He Xuebing. There couldn’t be a beginning for them, and they weren’t suitable for each other.

It was nice to leave a good impression on each other’s hearts like this. If they really became a couple, they might end up clashing horns in the future, turning squabbles into daily meals, and eventually, the good in each other’s hearts would turn ugly. They might grow to loathe and even hate each other, possibly becoming sworn enemies.

So, let it be.

Meanwhile, in the army, He Xuebing received Xia Xiao’s letter, which was a bolt from the blue.

Then He Xuebing received a letter of interrogation from Li Shengmei. His head ached; his mother was making too many troubles. Especially after knowing that Li Shengmei intercepted the letter, He Xuebing felt angry for the first time, so angry and helpless.

Afterward, no matter how He Xuebing wrote to Xia Xiao, she no longer replied.

Because that day she confronted Li Shengmei directly, and later, with Zheng Xianghong also speaking up for her, the rumors dissipated.

Thus, Xia Xiao no longer wanted any involvement with He Xuebing, and especially didn’t want to confront Li Shengmei. She felt annoyed.

Of course, some of the letters He Xuebing wrote to Xia Xiao were also intercepted by Li Shengmei. One could imagine Li Shengmei’s further fury upon seeing her son’s apologetic and flattering tone toward Xia Xiao, yet ultimately, she did not confront Xia Xiao again.

Li Shengmei received a letter from He Xuegang and learned that a regiment leader’s daughter was pursuing He Xuebing. The gloom in Li Shengmei’s heart vanished instantly, and elation filled her to the brim as she burst into an expansive laughter.

On the other side, Dong Meihua’s face darkened; she hadn’t expected that beyond Xia Xiao, there would be a regiment leader’s daughter.

Xia Xiao originally didn’t know, but Li Shengmei had to brag when she saw her, saying, "You know better; you didn’t get with my son. Now my son is being pursued by a regiment leader’s daughter."

Xia Xiao was left speechless. Does Li Shengmei even realize that by acting like this, she may someday bring disaster upon her precious son?

Seeing someone was interested in He Xuebing wasn’t strange to Xia Xiao. With someone like He Xuebing, it would be strange if no woman was interested. But Li Shengmei was always like this; what would become of He Xuebing’s future was truly mysterious.

Seeing Xia Xiao speechless, Li Shengmei felt even more triumphant, thinking she’d hit a nerve.

Xia Xiao didn’t want to bother with Li Shengmei any longer; she felt that constantly contending with Li Shengmei would only lower her own quality and cultivation.

Now that Xia Xiao and He Xuebing had no future, those who pursued Xia Xiao were happy, seeing it as their chance.

Of course, the happiest was Gao Jiaxing, who silently thanked Li Shengmei in his heart, for the first time feeling that she wasn’t so loathsome.

However, Gao Jiaxing still hated Li Shengmei while simultaneously feeling immense sympathy for He Xuebing in his heart.
