The Fat Wife of the 1980s Awakens

Xu Xiufang's words were full of unquestionable sincerity. At this moment, she seemed to have made up her mind that nothing could stop her from fighting for the future of the two sisters.

After Xu Xiufang's careful persuasion, Xu Xiaohua finally nodded in agreement and decided to follow her sister back to the village, vowing to take the children back and requesting the village to issue a certificate of divorce.

Her marriage with Guo Shunqiang was nothing more than a tragedy carefully planned by her stepmother from the beginning to the end, and they did not even have a legal marriage certificate.

At that time, the stepmother even planned to push Xu Xiufang into another unhappy marriage. If it weren't for her younger sister Xu Xiufang's witty response, she would have fallen into another fire pit.

When Xu Xiufang mentioned this, she said to Xie Yi beside her, "We have to go to the village party secretary immediately. Our first priority is to bring the two children back."

The three little ones heard this, their round eyes were filled with confusion and anger, and they asked Xu Xiufang in unison: "Mom, who took our brother and sister away? We want to go too and teach those bad guys a lesson!"

The three young faces had frowns on their face, especially Dabao, who usually looked a little silly. At this moment, he rolled up his sleeves and looked ready to fight, which made people feel both distressed and helpless.

Xu Xiufang felt conflicted. Earlier today, she had witnessed how stubborn these three little ones were. This complicated situation was definitely not suitable for children to participate in.

Just as she was worrying about how to explain it tactfully, Xie Yi intervened at the right time and said to the three children: "We must learn to protect ourselves, and sometimes we have to make some unpleasant decisions. You are still young, and it is difficult for you to distinguish right from wrong, so you must think before you speak or act. Do you understand?"

This passage is not only a teaching to children, but also a way to build a more rational worldview for them.

For the first time, Xu Xiufang was surprised to find that Xie Yi, who usually spoke very little, could be so talkative when it came to educating children.

"You prepare dinner for the children at home, and leave the things outside to me."

There was unquestionable firmness in Xie Yi's words, and a gentle light flashed in his eyes.

Then, he turned to Xu Xiaohua, his tone gentle but powerful: "Sister, relax, this is also your safe haven, don't worry too much."

"They wantonly destroyed our home. I stand up and seek justice. This is not only a right, but also a responsibility."

Xie Yi's words were filled with an inviolable righteousness, and every word was powerful.

"You wait at home. I will bring the two children back."

Without waiting for any further discussion, he resolutely got on the old bicycle, turned the wheels, and disappeared into the afterglow of the setting sun.

An indescribable confusion suddenly surged in Xu Xiufang's heart, as if countless bees were fluttering around in her mind.

Xie Yi's behavior completely overturned her previous impression of him. His sudden change made her both moved and confused.

What made her frown even more was that if the Guo family was so arrogant and unreasonable, how could Xie Yi escape from that dangerous place alone?

Thinking of this, the busy figures in the kitchen seemed particularly absent-minded.

"Sister, I'm leaving the three little ones in your care. You guys eat first and leave some hot food for us."

Xu Xiufang turned around and tried to leave, but was grabbed by Xu Xiaohua, her eyes full of worry.

"Can I go with you?" Xu Xiaohua's voice trembled slightly, revealing deep uneasiness.

Xu Xiufang gently soothed him, her eyes gleaming with determination: "They pick on the weak and pick on the weak. If you go with me, I'm afraid they will all turn their attacks on you. You stay home and wait for my news. We'll be back soon, don't worry. Besides, who would dare to touch him so easily?"

Hearing this, Xu Xiaohua slowly loosened her clenched hands. The stone in her heart seemed to have fallen halfway, and she secretly agreed with her sister's opinion.

Xu Xiufang leaned over, and gently placed her warm palms on the heads of the three children. She said softly, "Be good at home, eat well, and go to bed on time. Mom will be back to be with you soon."

The three little faces were filled with trust and understanding, and they nodded in unison, like good little lambs.

After everything was arranged, Xu Xiufang quickly caught up with Xie Yi's back.

Seeing Xu Xiufang coming, Xie Yi paused, surprised and helpless: "Why did you follow me?"

"I can't let you take risks alone. With me by your side, you'll at least feel more at ease."

Xu Xiufang's tone was frank, and she did not hide her worries at all.

Xie Yi smiled slightly when he heard this, "I promise, the situation is not as bad as you think."

Although she felt mixed emotions, Xu Xiufang still jumped onto the back seat of the bicycle firmly.

When he arrived at Guojia Village, Xie Yi did not rush directly to Guo Shunqiang's house, nor did he simply throw his bicycle away and leave Xu Xiufang on the busy roadside.

Instead, he led her to the home of the village chief.

When the village chief saw Xie Yi, he immediately treated him like a distinguished guest and hurriedly served him tea and water. His enthusiasm was a little excessive, which made Xu Xiufang, who was standing nearby, feel quite embarrassed.

She wondered in her heart whether the village chief would still be able to maintain such an attentive appearance if he knew about the turmoil that had just happened in the village.

Xie Yi explained the whole story to the village chief word by word in a clear and organized manner, without leaving out any details.

Xu Xiufang speculated secretly in her heart that her statement would only be met with a few perfunctory remarks. After all, in her eyes, there was no village chief who did not try his best to protect the reputation and interests of his village.

However, contrary to her expectations, the village chief's face suddenly became gloomy, his brows were furrowed, and his tone was filled with unquestionable determination.

"Is this true? Please wait for a moment. I will immediately gather the elders of the village to bring Yangyang and Yueyue back safely. After that, you can take the children away directly."

After saying that, the village chief's eyes narrowed into a sharp triangle, and the corners of his mouth forced into a smile that seemed warm but was actually meaningful, with an elusive light flashing in his slender eyes.

"Just stay here and wait. I'll go over and take care of it right away. Everything will be arranged properly."

Xu Xiufang felt something was subtly wrong, a feeling like a thin needle piercing her heart. Although it was not painful, it was hard to ignore. Unfortunately, she couldn't explain the source of this strange feeling for a moment.

Therefore, she could only suppress the doubts in her heart and wait quietly for the footsteps of the village chief to fade away. Then she turned around and asked Xie Yi beside her with a probing look in her eyes.

"Why is he so warm to you? You are not related by blood, nor do you have any old friendship. What is the secret behind this?"

Xie Yi looked calm, as if he had seen through everything. He explained calmly, "The reason is simple. His son got a job as a salesman in a stone quarry, and the projects we undertake often require a large amount of stone. If we buy through his son, we can not only save 100 or 200 yuan every month, but also ensure a stable supply of stone. For him, why not do it?"
