The Fat Wife of the 1980s Awakens

When Xu Xiufang heard this, she suddenly realized something. The corners of her mouth rose involuntarily, and a cunning light flashed in her eyes.

"I see. He is simply a living God of Wealth! If it were me, I would probably be even more attentive than him."

Hearing this, Xie Yi glanced at Xu Xiufang, with a bit of helplessness and ridicule in his tone, "Indeed, when the God of Wealth comes to visit, who cares so much? Welcome him in first. As for gender, that's secondary."

Xu Xiufang was so smart that she naturally caught the unspoken meaning in Xie Yi's words. She curved her eyebrows and spoke in a relaxed tone with a hint of deep meaning, "We should naturally treat him well when he comes in, and hide him so that the God of Wealth won't leave easily. This will make a lot of money."

There was a wit in her words that should not be underestimated, as if suggesting that she had her own understanding of the rules of the game.

Changing the subject, Xu Xiufang quickly returned to the main topic, "Don't easily agree to any conditions just for this little bit of profit. The quality of the project is the foundation of our existence. Look at the look in the village chief's eyes, I always feel that something is wrong. His son is probably a very capable person. We have to be careful."

She leaned close to Xie Yi, her warm breath brushing against his ears, and her whispers were filled with a seriousness that could not be ignored.

Xie Yi was sitting on a chair. Hearing this, he raised his eyebrows. His eyes were both amusement and thoughtful. They moved back and forth slowly over Xu Xiufang, as if he was weighing her words and exploring her thoughts.

"You're so considerate of me, could it be that you're interested in me?"

Before she finished speaking, the tea in Xu Xiufang's mouth unexpectedly sprayed all over the floor. Embarrassed, she quickly calmed down, pretended to be serious, and responded jokingly, "You guessed it right, I love you so much that I can't wait to give birth to a litter of babies for you."

Upon hearing this, Xie Yi couldn't help but cough, obviously choked by Xu Xiufang's sudden humor, but in his heart he couldn't help but admire her ability to grasp the right measure.

"Okay, stop it, I know what's going on."

Xie Yi's tone suddenly turned cold, and the previous relaxed atmosphere was swept away, replaced by a calm scrutiny in his eyes.

Xu Xiufang's heart trembled, but she refused to give in. She pretended to be indifferent and used indifference as a silent resistance, because she knew very well that sometimes, the most powerful counterattack is often indifference.

This action really touched Xie Yi's emotions.

He originally wanted to take this opportunity to test Xu Xiufang's true thoughts, but he never thought that after this confrontation, he found that he and her had an inseparable alliance.

Now that the situation has developed to this point, he can only adapt to the situation and respond accordingly.

Emotions, something so complex and subtle, were never part of his plans, and even he himself could not fully control them.

Looking back, he was full of disgust and disdain for Xu Xiufang, but today, that aversion is long gone, replaced by appreciation and love for her wit, charm and unique sense of humor.

Just when the atmosphere between the two seemed a little stiff due to their respective insistence, the village chief with unique eye shape came running over hurriedly, his chest heaving and his breathing being a little rapid.

"Child, I've brought the child here! I've already negotiated with them sternly. If they dare to act rashly again, just come to me for justice!"

Xu Xiufang walked quickly forward, her steps a little hurried due to anxiety.

In the sunlight, there were traces of undried tears on Yangyang and Yueyue's little faces, their eyes were red and swollen like ripe cherries, and the small schoolbags on their backs trembled slightly with their sobs.

As soon as they saw Xu Xiufang, the two children felt like they had found a safe haven. All the grievances that had been pent up in their hearts burst out in an instant, and their cries, filled with endless helplessness and expectation, echoed all around.

Xu Xiufang opened her arms lovingly and hugged the two little ones tightly. Their warm breaths intertwined together, conveying silent comfort.

"It's okay. Auntie is here. Let's go home now."

She spoke softly, as if a warm spring breeze blew away the haze in the children's hearts.

Witnessing this scene, the village chief hurried forward, his face full of pleading, fearing that he would miss this rare opportunity, "Then, then what about my son..."

Xie Yi's eyes were calm and deep. He spoke slowly, and every word sounded particularly powerful. "Tell him to come to the construction site to find me tomorrow. I will assign him some purchasing tasks. If he can do a good job, there will naturally be more opportunities in the future."

The village chief nodded repeatedly, with a trace of gratitude and determination in his eyes, "Okay, don't worry, if there is anything I can help with in Guojia Village in the future, just let me know!"

Xie Yi said nothing more. He knew that in this complex world, using power to benefit oneself or others was often accompanied by moral gray areas, so he had already set a warning line in his heart.

On the way home, the setting sun was shining. Xie Yi let the three children sit neatly on the front and back seats of the bicycle, while he pushed the bicycle hard, walking side by side with Xu Xiufang on the country road.

A breeze blew by, and the two people's figures stretched out in the afterglow, looking particularly harmonious.

"Thanks so much to you today." Xu Xiufang's words were sincere and grateful, with a sincere light shining in her eyes.

Xie Yi shook his head gently, "You're welcome, but this can only be considered a temporary emergency, not a long-term plan."

"I understand. One day, I will make my sister leave that irresponsible man." Xu Xiufang said with a firm tone and a determined look.

For a moment, the two fell into silence, with only the slight sound of the wheels turning accompanying their footsteps. As they approached the door of their home, Xu Xiufang suddenly hesitated. She scratched her hair and looked at Xie Yi, as if she had something to say that was difficult to say.

Xie Yi keenly sensed her uneasiness and said, "Just tell me what you want to say. As long as I can help, I will definitely not refuse."

Xu Xiufang was touched by these words. Just as she was about to speak, she was interrupted by Xie Yi's words, "Hurry up and tell me. I've been so busy all day that I barely ate anything. My stomach is protesting."

Xu Xiufang smiled bitterly when she heard this, but she finally expressed her concerns, "I always feel that these three children are a bit impatient and impulsive."

She mentioned the incident in which Dabao threatened others with a brick and Erbao's lying mouth, and her words were full of worry about the children's future.

"I'm afraid they will go astray because of this." Xu Xiufang's eyes revealed deep worry. What made her even more worried was that her physical condition had been worrying recently and she was almost injured in the chaos.

"The duck at home died unexpectedly a few days ago. I thought the children were sad because of it, but later I found out that I was overthinking it." She shook her head self-deprecatingly.

But Xie Yi seemed to be thinking about something, then smiled calmly, "Master Wang's big yellow dog gave birth to a litter of puppies. Why don't we adopt one for each child so that they can learn to take care of life."
