The Fat Wife of the 1980s Awakens

Chapter 111: Asking for Money

"It's unbelievable that you have mastered such skills. It's really unfair for you to stay in this small space."

Xie Yi inexplicably felt a sense of guilt, as if he had become a hindrance, restraining this talented woman.

He realized that Xu Xiufang was no longer a confined person. Her knowledge was as vast as the ocean and her talent was extraordinary. She should have soared in a wider sky.

Faced with this sudden sigh, Xu Xiufang responded with a somewhat angry glare, "The child is mine, and it's you who should leave."

Although there was an irrefutable firmness in the words, it made Xie Yi feel "choked" and at the same time, a subtle joy welled up in his heart.

Her persistence undoubtedly proves her deep affection for these three children. It is an indisputable fact, as solid as a rock.

In order to break the slightly awkward atmosphere, Xie Yi tried to find topics to bring them closer.

"So what are you working on now? I really don't know anything about this."

He always had a special liking for intellectual women and never dared to hope that he would have the good fortune to spend time with such a person. Perhaps, all this was really a clever arrangement of fate?

Xu Xiufang's eyes flashed with a cunning light, and a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth. She suggested softly: "How about I be your teacher and teach you?"

There was a hint of playfulness and challenge in her tone, which made Xie Yi not know how to respond for a moment. He could only smile helplessly, stand up, and slowly leave, but he felt a different feeling in his heart.

"Then take your time. I won't disturb you."

There was a hint of gentleness and thoughtfulness in Xie Yi's tone, as if a spring breeze was blowing across the lake, gently rippling the surface.

Hearing this, Xu Xiufang's lips curled up slightly, and a warm feeling surged in her heart.

She knew that this seemingly rough man was actually a thoughtful person.

Xu Xiufang's thoughts drifted back to the information about Wang Yimin's wife. The news that there was a relative in the city doing lighting business was like a faint but firm beacon, illuminating a way out in her heart.

Once this instruction manual is completed, those tight days may turn around, and she will be able to step into the city and look for a glimmer of hope.

"Do you know where I can get some electrical goods?"

Xu Xiufang blinked her lively eyes, her gaze full of expectations for the future, and looked straight at Xie Yi.

In those eyes, there is both a desire for the unknown and trust in companions.

Although Xie Yi was not very clear about the specific channels for purchasing goods, his hearty smile was filled with unquestionable determination, "We can go and look for it together."

Xu Xiufang pursed her lips, a hint of hesitation flashed in her eyes, "What if you can't find it? I'd better ask Director Chen, so as not to make a wasted trip."

Her worries are not unfounded. After all, time is precious and every step needs to be taken with caution.

Hearing this, Xie Yi's mouth curled up slightly, with an amused yet slightly helpless expression, "My second uncle is in the provincial capital, why didn't he tell me? He is a high-ranking official there."

Xu Xiufang suddenly realized that she had forgotten such an important point.

She remembered that the second uncle of the Bai family did run a factory in the provincial capital. Although the book did not specify what it produced, it was undoubtedly a clue worth exploring.

"What kind of factory does your second uncle run?" Xu Xiufang's curiosity was completely aroused. Now that she had already asked, she had to get to the bottom of it.

Xie Yi looked calm, as if he was describing something very ordinary. "Bicycle factory."

When she heard the word "bicycle factory", Xu Xiufang's eyes instantly sparkled like the brightest stars in the night sky.

"That's great. The connections in the physical industry are often intricate yet closely connected. If it's an industry like food, there may be various industry barriers that are difficult to overcome, but in the bicycle manufacturing industry, the circle is relatively open, and it's common for people to help each other."

Xu Xiufang was excited by this discovery. "When do we leave?"

She couldn't wait to take action, as if victory was just around the corner.

Xie Yi's eyes fell on the heavy stack of instruction manuals on the table. He knew very well that these were the result of Xu Xiufang's hard work.

As a designer, he knew her plan very well. "Why don't you finish the work at hand first? Just focus on your work. I will go to Mr. Wang tomorrow and ask for the specific address of his brother-in-law. This way, it will be more convenient for us to visit him directly later."

Xu Xiufang silently calculated in her heart that Xie Yi made her feel reliable, and she couldn't help but feel a little respect for him.

Just as she lowered her head, concentrating on sorting out the messy documents, she suddenly looked up inadvertently and saw the figures of Xie Fei, Old Mrs. Xie and other members of the Xie family. They gathered in the courtyard and the atmosphere seemed unusual.

For a moment, Xu Xiufang's heart was filled with alarm, mistakenly thinking that they were here to call her to task. She reflexively rolled up her sleeves and prepared for a verbal battle.

However, unexpectedly, Mr. Xie did not respond coldly as she had imagined. Instead, he walked straight forward and said in a serious but rational tone: "My Xie Fei's injury this time was all caused by you. I don't care about this dilapidated old house, but you have to give an explanation for the medical expenses, the loss of work time, and the future living security of the two of us old people."

These words left Xu Xiufang stunned, she was shocked and even more confused.

In her opinion, this request was almost harsh, and she couldn't help but wonder if these people were going too far and were willing to do anything for money.

She was tired of this endless dispute and decided not to get involved with it.

So, she took a step forward resolutely, and almost instinctively protected Xie Yi behind her.

After all, this turmoil was caused by her, so the responsibility should naturally be shouldered by her.

"Which god helped you to escape?"

There was a hint of sarcasm in Xu Xiufang's words, but she couldn't hide the doubts in her heart.

Upon hearing this, Mrs. Xie's face suddenly turned as dark as iron, with anger burning in her eyes, but her mind was extremely clear and she realized that this matter was by no means simple.

Today, after unremitting efforts, Xu Xiufang finally has the ability to make money to change her destiny. She is well aware of the money that was once lost and is determined to get it back.

All these changes are because Xie Zhi is no longer the young boy who was entangled with Zhou Xiaoyun in the emotional whirlpool.

How to lay out the future chapters of this novel became a difficult problem that lingered in Xu Xiufang's mind.

She was clearly aware that every action she took seemed to be silently shaking the world framework carefully constructed by the author. Perhaps it was this uncontrollable force that led to the subtle imbalance of the story world.

She couldn't help but wonder whether the mysterious author who controlled everything would get bored and abandon this unfinished narrative, and start a new legend on another blank page?
