The Fat Wife of the 1980s Awakens

Accompanied by a burst of hurried footsteps, Li Guifang rushed into the yard with a hatchet in hand. Her figure looked particularly heroic in the morning light, as if she was the embodiment of justice, bringing a ray of light and hope to this space shrouded in haze.

"If you dare to touch Xiaohua, I will chop off your hand today even if it means my life is in danger."

Li Guifang's words were firm and resolute. She held the rusty kitchen knife tightly in both hands, her arms trembling slightly, and her eyes flashed with unprecedented courage and determination.

This power comes from the deep defense of justice and the deep love for friends in one's heart.

She used to be that submissive and taciturn woman. The years of hardship have taught her to be tolerant, but today, in order to protect Xu Xiaohua, she seems to have become a different person. She is no longer afraid and no longer retreats.

Her figure seemed particularly tall at this moment.

When Guo Shunqiang saw Li Guifang's sudden change, a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes, as if he was suddenly facing not a weak village woman, but a crazy woman with a sharp knife in her hand and a fierce momentum.

His hand, which was originally about to reach out to Xu Xiaohua, was now frozen in mid-air, stunned by the sudden momentum.

Before he could react, Xu Xiaohua took the opportunity to struggle violently, like a wild horse breaking free from its restraints, and kicked him accurately in the vitals. The movement was so swift and powerful that Guo Shunqiang turned pale with pain. He curled up on the ground, groaning in agony.

"Sister Li, give me the knife. I will chop off his hand today. Why should I let him bully me? Do I owe him anything?"

Xu Xiaohua's voice was filled with anger and unwillingness, her eyes were burning with the flames of resistance, and she no longer wanted to be the submissive lamb.

Guo Shunqiang rolled on the ground, trying to find a way to escape, but the pain made him almost unable to move. He could only issue a weak threat: "Just try! If you really dare, I will never care about you again in this life. You are a woman with two children, let's see how you can survive outside."

"No matter how good your relatives' house is, it's only temporary. Can it be good forever? When the time comes, there won't even be a corner to shelter from the wind. What will you do?"

Every word of Guo Shunqiang's was like a needle, piercing the softest and most vulnerable part of Xu Xiaohua's heart. That was the worry and fear she had always had, and the source of her sleepless nights.

It was this hesitation that gave Guo Shunqiang hope of escape.

However, Li Guifang keenly sensed Xu Xiaohua's hesitation. She knew that any hesitation at this moment could reverse the situation, so she shouted, "Xiaohua, don't be afraid. If you have nowhere to stay, come to my house. Don't listen to that bastard's nonsense. How could Xu Xiufang ignore you? Don't believe him."

Li Guifang's voice was like a ray of warm sunshine that penetrated the dark clouds and illuminated Xu Xiaohua's heart.

Yes, how could Guo Shunqiang understand how good Xu Xiufang was to her?

A surge of strength surged within her as she realized she was not alone.

Thinking of this, Xu Xiaohua's eyes became firm. She knew that even without Guo Shunqiang, she could rely on her own hands, even if it was just a small business or asking for help from her sister, she could find a place of her own in this world and no longer have to suffer this humiliation.

"You're still running? I'm going to chop you to pieces! Will the earth stop spinning without you? Who do you think you are? I've been blind all these years to meet someone like you!"

Xu Xiaohua rushed out of the door waving a hatchet. Her figure lengthened in the setting sun. Every step she took was filled with firmness and determination. She vowed to seek justice for herself.

Li Guifang looked at this scene with mixed feelings. She was afraid that Xu Xiaohua's impulsiveness would bring unpredictable consequences. She hurried forward and tightly grasped Xu Xiaohua's hand, with anxiety in her voice: "Don't be like them. We have to stay calm. If something really happens, we will have to face a lawsuit."

Li Guifang's concerns are not unfounded. She is well aware of the boundaries of the law and knows that if things get out of control, the consequences will be disastrous.

She held Xu Xiaohua tightly, trying to calm the storm with rational words.

Xu Xiaohua understood these truths very well, but years of grievances and anger, like a volcano that had been suppressed for a long time, finally found an outlet to erupt.

Her eyes were burning with desperate madness: "I just want to fight him to the death, or even die together!"

Her voice echoed in the air, full of determination and tragedy.

Although Guo Shunqiang was strong, he couldn't help but feel afraid when faced with the glaring knife light.

However, he would not miss any opportunity to turn the situation around. He knew very well that as long as he could bring Xu Xiaohua back to the home where he thought he was in control of everything, everything would be back in his hands.

"Put down the knife first. After all, I am still the father of these children. I can earn money to support their education."

Guo Shunqiang tried to soften Xu Xiaohua by playing the role of a father, but mentioning making money was like rubbing salt into Xu Xiaohua's wounds.

"We've been married for so many years, how much do you give me every month? Even if you give me five dollars, I still have to take care of the household expenses."

Xu Xiaohua's voice was full of sarcasm and helplessness as she recounted the hardships she had experienced over the years. Every word she said was like a heavy hammer, striking the hearts of everyone present.

"Do you think the expenses at home are small? Can we just spend them casually? Your mother, the 'Empress Dowager', has to choose the finest rice when she eats it. I have to pay extra for the coarse grains to exchange for the fine grains."

Xu Xiaohua's accusation moved everyone present. Her eyes were filled with deep hatred for the unfair treatment over the years.

"And your sister, I didn't stop her from going back to her parents' home when she was pregnant, so why does she want to eat meat every now and then? Does she want to take the money from me?"

Every word Xu Xiaohua said was an accusation against her past life and a ruthless exposure of Guo Shunqiang's family.

Guo Shunqiang knew clearly that all the problems at home were happening, but he was used to turning a blind eye to them and transferring the pressure to Xu Xiaohua.

However, this time, he realized that Xu Xiaohua was no longer the submissive wife, and he had to change his strategy.

"When I get back, I will teach them a lesson."

There was a hint of perfunctoriness in Guo Shunqiang's words. He secretly observed Xu Xiaohua's reaction out of the corner of his eye, trying to find an opportunity to ease the situation.

Xu Xiaohua had seen through his thoughts. She did not put down the knife in her hand, and her eyes were full of unquestionable determination: "If you leave now, I will not touch you. If you continue to pester me, don't blame me for being ruthless."

Seeing this, Guo Shunqiang couldn't help but feel annoyed. He tried to suppress Xu Xiaohua with his last bit of authority: "Don't push your luck. I'm giving you a way out, so you should do it well. Otherwise, what else? Do you want to stay away from home forever?"

However, Xu Xiaohua burst into a nearly crazy laugh at this moment. The laugh was filled with relief and hope for the future: "Who do you think you are? I just want a divorce. What can you do to me?"

The moment she filed for divorce, Xu Xiaohua felt unprecedented relief and joy, as if the huge rock that had been weighing on her heart for a long time had finally been removed. Nothing could make her feel more relieved and free than this.
