Chapter 247: Chapter 246: Wish Fulfilled (Asking for Tips on 10,000 More Updates)

"I just got back and heard about my younger sister and Director Li’s second son, Yan Hao; I also just met Yan Hao."

When Xia Xiao mentioned this, Li Dongqing expressed a slight regret with a hint of pity, "It’s a pity that when they went to the countryside, Xia Jing and Yan Hao weren’t placed together."

Hmph, Xia Xiao sneered inwardly, clearly dissatisfied but still speaking so righteously.

Li Dongqing sneered, "Li Wenjuan has raised a sharp-tongued daughter, quite capable of speaking her mind."

"Not more than Director Li," Xia Xiao said with a faint smile, "My dad just said that though our family is poor, we have our pride; we wouldn’t actively seek this kind of match. However, if someone shows interest, our family would warmly welcome them."

"What do you mean by that?" Li Dongqing glared at Xia Xiao.

"If Yan Hao is willing to follow my sister, our Xia Family wouldn’t mind having one more of our own. Director Li, you have three sons, and Yan Hao, being the middle child, might not be your main focus. Given that, our Xia Family naturally welcomes him."

Li Dongqing was angered by Xia Xiao, seeing it as a blatant threat, yet he couldn’t guarantee that his son wouldn’t indeed become close with the Xia Family.

"I just said, our girls wouldn’t engage in matchmaking themselves; if Director Li doesn’t approve of my sister, we also wouldn’t want to force her," Xia Xiao continued.

At this, Li Dongqing asked, "What are your conditions?"

"I hope my second younger sister could come with me, and my third younger sister go to the Construction Corps," Xia Xiao stated the place for Xia Fei, not that she didn’t want Xia Hong to go to Xia Wen, but now that Xia Fei was pregnant, it would be good for the sisters to look after each other.

As for Xia Wen, Xia Xiao didn’t know her circumstances or what kind of person she was. She might even be married already, Xia Xiao hadn’t heard.

Xia Xiao proposed letting Xia Jing come with her, but wasn’t sure if Li Dongqing could manage it. Yet, she also conveyed to Li Dongqing that the Xia family wasn’t eagerly chasing the Yan family.

Li Dongqing looked intently at Xia Xiao and said, "Alright, I hope you keep your promise."

At this point, Li Dongqing said to Xia Xiao, "If my son likes you, I would definitely agree to it, even your third and fourth younger sisters, I am willing, but your second sister acts too much like a tomboy, without any feminine traits, she used to get into fights too."

"My sister can manage without Director Li’s concern; if Director Li can fulfill this, we also will not go back on our word," Xia Xiao said to Li Dongqing in conclusion.

"I hope to make true my words," Li Dongqing said, then left.

Xia Xiao then walked towards her home, while many neighbors watched, apparently curious about what she had discussed with Li Dongqing.

Xia Xiao smiled at everyone and returned inside.

In the middle of the night, Xia Xiao went to the neighborhood committee to check some documents and nodded in satisfaction.

She looked over Xia Hong’s column which was indeed at the Construction Corps where Xia Fei was. Xia Xiao was satisfied, realizing Li Dongqing was not a bad person, merely disapproving of Xia Jing, but he wasn’t intentionally harmful, causing Xia Xiao to retract her prejudices.

The next afternoon, the notice from the neighborhood committee quickly arrived, stating Xia Jing would go with Xia Xiao and Xia Hong to Xia Fei. The Xia Family was surprised and pleased.

Xia Xiao said to Xia Jing, "You see, Director Li doesn’t like you, to prevent you from being with his son, he even agreed to let you come with me. If he truly wanted you and Yan Hao to be together, he would have arranged it long ago."

"Big sister," Xia Jing’s eyes turned red, she was happy to move with Xia Xiao, but part of her was heartbroken.

"Give up, his family doesn’t approve of you, persisting is pointless. Although living in the countryside means not having to live with his parents, when you return to the city, you can’t avoid his family members," Xia Xiao advised, hoping Xia Jing would come to terms with it.

"Big sister, let your second sister have some peace," Xia Weiguo advised.

"I’m going to break up with him right now," Xia Jing said.

Before Xia Jing could leave, Yan Hao had already come to find her.

Soon after, Xia Xiao saw Xia Jing return, crying.

"Sister, I really really like him, I’ve broken up with him. Seeing his sad face made me so upset, it’s like my heart is breaking," Xia Jing felt like her heart was dying.

"I understand," Xia Xiao held Xia Jing in her arms, silently patting her back for comfort.

Xia Xiao could empathize with Xia Jing’s emotions, but unlike Xia Jing, she had not truly fallen in love, so it was easier for her to let go.

"Sister, I think I won’t ever like someone this much again," Xia Jing added.

"That’s not true, you and Yan Hao weren’t meant to be, but you’ll meet someone you like in the future," Xia Xiao said, the world does not stop for anyone.

Even the most loving couples, once one departs or moves away, someone else will come along to replace everything you were.

The earth does not stop spinning for anyone.

That forever love in stories, it’s just that—stories; reality isn’t like that. They aren’t as exaggerated or shocking.

Of course, there are lifelong loves, but those who stay single for someone their whole lives are rare.

But Xia Xiao had seen one, it was Li Shengmei’s half-brother who was still unmarried.

After receiving the notice, Xia Xiao’s family set out to visit their grandmother and planned to stay overnight.

They left quickly, partly considering Xia Jing’s feelings, given that the Yan family lived just upstairs and it was very easy to run into them.

Li Wenjuan and Xia Chunrong were both working in factories. When Xia Xiao, Xia Weiguo, and other siblings went to their grandmother’s, they made a special trip to the electric and textile factories to inform Li Wenjuan and Xia Chunrong.

Having reached grandmother’s house, Xia Xiao presented the knitted sweaters and shoes she had brought, which the elderly couple loved and couldn’t stop admiring.

Xia Xiao could knit, having made scarves before, but she used to not know how to knit clothes, which was why she had asked Zheng Xianghong for guidance.

Although it was her first time knitting a sweater, the craft was still a bit rough.
