Wealthy Beauty in the 60s-Chapter 230 - 229: In the Same City as You

Gao Jiazhi said, "Mom, have you finished the shoes for Jiaxing? I need to send them to him quickly. Gangzi brought back several pairs of shoes to the troops this time. My shoes are not urgent, I have some to wear, Mom please focus on Jiaxing first."

Gao Guoqiang also nodded in agreement, "Mine aren’t urgent either, do Jiaxing’s first."

Zheng Xianghong said, "Of course, I’ll take care of Jiaxing’s shoes first. I’ve only finished one pair so far, but Xia Xiao just told me she sent two pairs of shoes and socks to Jiaxing already. I’ll focus on the two of you now."

Once she got to the dormitory, Xia Xiao saw Yang Xuehua but did not see that teacher.

Yang Xuehua was happy to see Xia Xiao return, "Xia Xiao, you’re finally back."

"Sister Xuehua, was your New Year’s alright?" asked Xia Xiao.

"It was fine, nothing eventful," Yang Xuehua nodded.

Then Yang Xuehua said to Xia Xiao, "There’s a new female teacher who joined our team, named Luo Su’e. She’s from the same city as you."

Xia Xiao was surprised, "Luo Su’e? And she’s from my city?"

"Yes. Do you know her?" Yang Xuehua asked after seeing Xia Xiao’s reaction.

Xia Xiao nodded, "I don’t know her, but something happened during my trip back home. My aunt was pushed down the stairs by someone, hospitalized, seriously injured with fractures, and her face was disfigured. When I went to see my aunt in the hospital, a group of students brought a female teacher to apologize to my aunt. The teacher kneeled down and begged for forgiveness. I heard her last name was also Luo, could it really be such a coincidence?"

Yang Xuehua’s smile froze on her face, "She said she was framed."

Ning Hui from the bed said, "And you believe her."

"It turns out she lied to me," Yang Xuehua said unhappily.

Seeing that Luo Su’e was from the same city as Xia Xiao, also a teacher, and claimed she was wronged and framed, Yang Xuehua felt a certain sympathy, even a sense of shared fate.

So, these past few days, Yang Xuehua and Luo Su’e became close, and Yang Xuehua actively helped Luo Su’e. Now, hearing what Xia Xiao said, Yang Xuehua was somewhat angry thinking about Luo Su’e deceiving her.

"Sister Xuehua, don’t get angry over this. We still don’t know whether she’s the teacher who hurt my aunt. It’s not strange for people to have the same name," Xia Xiao consoled.

As soon as Xia Xiao finished, Yang Xuehua said, "She’s from the same city, the same place as you. There’s no mistake."

"Perhaps she also intends to make amends," added Xia Xiao.

"If she truly intended to repent, she wouldn’t lie and deceive me, and she’s a person who harms others," Yang Xuehua said.

Yang Xuehua found it hard to accept that Luo Su’e actively harmed someone, especially to the extent that she hurt Xia Xiao’s aunt so gravely.

Xia Xiao was no saint; she didn’t know whether Luo Su’e had ill intentions, but she wanted to live a peaceful life. She hoped Luo Su’e wouldn’t turn her attention on her, or worse, harbor ill intentions and plot against her.

Unknown to Luo Su’e, Xia Xiao could still observe and guard against her.

"Alright, I won’t talk about it," Yang Xuehua said.

Xia Xiao handed over the last egg to Yang Xuehua, "This is the last one, I saved it for Sister Xuehua."

Yang Xuehua smiled, "Every time Xia Xiao comes back from home, we get to eat eggs."

Xia Xiao laughed, "I think instead of buying candies, eggs are better. They’re nutritious."

Upon hearing this, both Yang Xuehua and Ning Hui nodded in agreement. Compared to candies, eggs were much more substantial.

Seeing Yang Xuehua’s happy face, Xia Xiao thought that she probably didn’t know about Liu Yue and Luo Mingzhe’s upcoming marriage, so she remained silent.

But if Xia Xiao wouldn’t mention it, someone eventually would. The next day, Dong Meihua the blabbermouth talked about it in front of Yang Xuehua.

Yang Xuehua stiffened for a moment but quickly forced a strained smile, "If they’re getting married, so be it. What does it have to do with me?"

"Sister Xuehua, that Luo Mingzhe..."

Dong Meihua wanted to continue, but Xia Xiao warned, "Dong Meihua, do you feel like life’s too peaceful and want to stir up trouble again?"

Truth be told, Dong Meihua was quite wary of Xia Xiao now, so when Xia Xiao spoke up, Dong Meihua ceased and walked off to work, huffing.

"Sister Xuehua, pay her no mind. And as for Luo Mingzhe and Liu Yue’s matter, you shouldn’t regret anything. Sister Xuehua will find someone better," Xia Xiao comforted Yang Xuehua.

Yang Xuehua sighed deeply, "Look at my condition. Who would want me now?"

"There will be someone for sure. Sister Xuehua, don’t lose heart. Luo Mingzhe isn’t worthy of you. You deserve better," Xia Xiao reassured. Then she added, "Unless Luo Mingzhe changes his mind, would you accept him?"

Yang Xuehua shook her head, and Xia Xiao said, "See, even if Luo Mingzhe turns back, Sister Xuehua isn’t willing. So why bother thinking so much? It only adds needless trouble. We’d rather be short of something than accept anything subpar."

Only then did Yang Xuehua crack a slight smile, "Right, better to go without than to settle for less. Even if I never marry, I wouldn’t hastily settle."

Xia Xiao smiled too, when suddenly a voice called out, "Xuehua."

Xia Xiao looked over, and a woman in her mid-twenties, a stranger, approached them— it was Luo Su’e.

"Luo Su’e," Yang Xuehua called out blandly.

Luo Su’e walked over, smiling at Xia Xiao, "You must be Comrade Xia Xiao. I’ve heard about you from Xuehua. Hello, I’m Luo Su’e, from the same city as you."
