Wealthy Beauty in the 60s-Chapter 127 - 126: Two Slaps

"What happened?" He Hongjun asked.

"Just before the train got to the provincial city, there was a thief in our carriage who stole a woman with a child’s money belt. I chased the thief to Educated Youth Xia’s carriage. The thief tried to take Educated Youth Xia as a hostage, but Educated Youth Xia smacked him to the ground with a brick, and the thief was captured."

He Hongjun looked at his son, his eyes gleaming as he mentioned this, and nodded. "Educated Youth Xia has courage, truly a heroine. Last time there was a thief in the production team, Educated Youth Xia also performed outstandingly."

Li Shengmei, seeing both He Hongjun and He Xuebing so appreciative of Xia Xiao, felt infuriated inside. She did not admit that her own judgment was inferior to Zheng Xianghong’s and said, "What’s so good about Educated Youth Xia? Find a wife like Dong Meihua—plump and big-bottomed, good for birthing."

"Just go cook," He Hongjun told Li Shengmei directly, not wanting to hear her speak anymore.

Li Shengmei was unhappy, but still obediently went to cook.

He Xuebing asked, "Dad, has Mom always been like this?"

He Hongjun nodded. "Your mom used to be quite attractive, but her personality is not good. If your dad didn’t have a crippled leg and a disfigured face, he wouldn’t have chosen your mom. However, your mom gave birth to you three, which covers up her flaws. There are some things I don’t bother arguing about with her."

"Dad, you should talk to Mom though. It’s too much for her to badmouth a girl like that," He Xuebing stated.

"Hmm, I will speak to your mom." He Hongjun nodded again and then inquired about the army, as this time He Xuebing returned without He Xuegang. He Hongjun was still very concerned about his eldest son’s situation.

He Xuebing explained everything, and father and son discussed matters about the army.

Meanwhile, back in the dormitory, Dong Meihua and Feng Ying were not in good spirits. Upon seeing Xia Xiao was not there, Feng Ying exclaimed, "Oh, Xia Xiao went to the Gao family’s house and hasn’t returned yet. Who knows what she’s doing there; chatting with Zheng Xianghong, really? Every day staying at the Gao family’s house for so long, people will think something’s up."

Just then, Xia Xiao, who had just finished taking a shower, came out and immediately slapped Feng Ying upon hearing her words.

With a smack, everyone in the dormitory was shocked; they hadn’t expected Xia Xiao to directly slap Feng Ying.

"You hit me!" Feng Ying was furious.

"Your mouth is filthy; you deserved a lesson," said Xia Xiao, her hand still hurting from the smack.

"What did I say? You have a guilty conscience," Feng Ying retorted, and smack, she got slapped again by Xia Xiao.

"Xia Xiao, I’m going to fight you!" Feng Ying was about to charge at Xia Xiao.

Xia Xiao rolled up her sleeves and said, "Come on then, my hands are itching for a fight, I’m ready whenever you are."

With a cry, Feng Ying ran away crying.

Dong Meihua watched Xia Xiao in shock, not expecting her to dare to strike, and doubly so. She wanted to say something but couldn’t speak, and instead, she chased after Feng Ying.

"Go ahead, I thought we could have a proper fight, but I didn’t expect her to be such a coward," Xia Xiao snorted dismissively, having long been fed up with Feng Ying. She thought the dorm could continue being harmonious, yet Feng Ying had to speak about her like that.

"Xia Xiao..." Wang Aihua tried to say something but realized she couldn’t say anything, not even knowing what to say.

Xia Xiao said, "Sister Aihua, you don’t have to say anything. I may be easy-going, but that doesn’t mean I can be bullied. I let things go in the past, but you all heard how ugly her words were. In today’s society, a spit can drown a person. If anyone dares to slander me, I will not show mercy. If someone makes me unhappy, I will not let them have peace."

Yang Xuehua said, "Feng Ying’s mouth truly needs a lesson. She shouldn’t be saying things like that; she lacks brains."

"Ah, this dormitory..." Sun Yuhua didn’t know what to say.

Xia Xiao went straight to bed with a book, having just taken a bath; she couldn’t just go to sleep and had to wait for her body to dry off.

"Where do you think Feng Ying would go to find Li Shengmei?" Yang Xuehua asked.

Xia Xiao humphed lightly, "I’ll bet an egg that she’s gone to find Secretary Li."

Wang Aihua immediately said, "I’ll go check, and if not, keep that egg for me."

Yang Xuehua watched Wang Aihua leave with a chuckle.

Meanwhile, Feng Ying did indeed go to see Secretary Li, stammering in front of him that Xia Xiao had slapped her twice.

Li Zhenchuan said, "Educated Youth Xia needs to drop by to shed light on this. I can’t just take your word for it and blame Educated Youth Xia."

Feng Ying said, "Secretary Li, ask Dong Meihua, she was there too, and saw Xia Xiao hit me." ƒree𝑤ebnσvel-com

Dong Meihua hesitated for a moment, but upon Feng Ying’s glance, nodded.

Just then, Wang Aihua arrived, and Li Zhenchuan said, "Educated Youth Wang, since you’re here, could you please invite Educated Youth Xia over from the Youth Point."

"Oh, alright." Wang Aihua, seeing Feng Ying and Dong Meihua there, felt exasperated, wondering why they had to go to Secretary Li. If they had gone to Li Shengmei, she could have had an egg.

Wang Aihua wasn’t generally one to crave, but she did like Xia Xiao’s eggs. So upon hearing Xia Xiao’s wager, she had taken it to heart, which led her to rush over to confirm.

As soon as Wang Aihua left, Feng Ying took advantage of Li Zhenchuan fetching water and quickly said to Dong Meihua, "Go call Director Li over."

Realizing the plan, Dong Meihua nodded quickly and headed towards the He Family.

Hearing Wang Aihua’s words back at the dorm, Xia Xiao said, "Looks like I need to make a trip to Secretary Li’s place. I guessed right, didn’t I? If it were Dong Meihua, she definitely would have gone to Li Shengmei first, but Feng Ying would go to Secretary Li."

Everyone was at a loss for words.

All the dormitory residents then headed towards Secretary Li’s house, bumping into Gao Jiaxing on the road, who asked, "Where are you all heading?"

Yang Xuehua replied, "Feng Ying talked about what Xia Xiao said and being slapped twice by Xia Xiao, and now she’s taking it to Secretary Li."

"Oh, then you go ahead." Gao Jiaxing turned and walked away.

"Mom, hurry to Secretary Li’s, Xia Xiao has been accused,"

Upon arriving home and informing Zheng Xianghong, she hurriedly said, "How could Xia Xiao be accused just like that."

"It was Feng Ying, she talked about what Xia Xiao said, and Xia Xiao slapped her twice when she overheard," said Gao Jiaxing.

"Oh oh," Zheng Xianghong put down her sewing and hurried to the door, also telling Gao Jiaxing, "Quickly go find your dad, Li Shengmei will definitely be there as well."

Thus, it was not surprising that by the time Xia Xiao arrived, people from both the Gao family and the He family were there, except for He Hongjun and Gao Jiazhi.

Feng Ying, resentful at heart, hadn’t expected Xia Xiao to dare slap her, especially on the mouth.

Therefore, Feng Ying cried first, sobbing sorrowfully in front of everyone.

Upon arriving, Li Shengmei, seeing Feng Ying’s face in such a piteous state, said, "Feng Ying, how did you get hit like this? Who could be so cruel? This is too excessive, they must be severely punished, we can’t let such bad influences arise among the educated youth."
