The Fat Wife of the 1980s Awakens

Xu Xiufang pursed her lips and looked at Xie Yi with complicated eyes: "Did you think so before? Or have you experienced it before, so you can empathize with it so much?"

Xie Yi realized that he had said too much and waved his hands quickly: "That's not the case. I don't really understand much about relationships."

Xu Xiufang smiled lightly and deliberately teased: "Then you can make more delicious food to compensate, I will go pick up the children."

Xie Yi smiled and nodded, then turned and walked towards the kitchen, but a ripple appeared in his heart. Perhaps he really understood the weight of emotions better than he thought.

The moment she stepped out of the house, Xu Xiufang's steps seemed particularly heavy, and every step tread on her heartstrings. Only until she was away from that depressing environment did her heart gradually relax. She secretly thanked herself for extricating herself in time and avoiding an imminent family storm.

When we arrived at Li Guifang's simple and warm home, what caught our eyes were three small figures sitting in a circle. Their little hands were tightly holding golden corn cobs, and their cheeks were puffed up from chewing. They looked just like three greedy little hamsters, and their appearance was funny and adorable.

The sunlight shines through the gaps in the leaves, dappling onto them, adding a bit of warmth and tranquility to the picture.

Xu Xiufang's question broke the silence, her voice mixed with a hint of confusion and concern.

The children's mouths were full of food, making them speechless. They could only respond to her silently with their big, clear eyes, sparkling with curiosity and joy.

Li Guifang walked out of the kitchen slowly, with some water stains on her apron. She habitually wiped her hands on the apron as she walked. Her calmness and kindness seemed like the gentleness accumulated over the years.

Her words revealed her understanding and tolerance of children's nature, but also implied her concern for the difficulties faced by Xu Xiufang.

Talking about today's turmoil, Xu Xiufang's tone was so relaxed as if she was telling someone else's story, but to Li Guifang, the tenacity and difficulty hidden behind such indifference made her feel distressed.

Li Guifang's worry was like a warm current, trying to warm Xu Xiufang's heart which might have been a little cold.

Each of Li Guifang's rapid-fire questions directly hits the cruelty of reality. They are not only concerns about Xu Xiaohua's future life, but also a profound reflection on the fate of women in this era.

In this society where traditional concepts are deeply rooted, divorce is undoubtedly an unknown and challenging journey for a woman with children.

Xu Xiufang's response was calm and firm, her eyes sparkling with longing and determination for the future.

Although her plan was simple, it was full of affection and foresight. It not only planned a way out for her sister Xu Xiaohua, but also provided rural women like Li Guifang with an opportunity to change their destiny.

Li Guifang was surprised and moved. She had never expected that she had an irreplaceable place in Xu Xiufang's heart.

This feeling of being valued gradually dissipated her inferiority and anxiety, and was replaced by an unprecedented expectation and courage.

Every word of Xu Xiufang's words is full of gems. They are not only an encouragement to Li Guifang, but also a persistence of her own beliefs.

She knew very well that if she wanted to gain a foothold in the city, she must adapt to the rules there, and she needed to improve her external image and internal qualities in an all-round way.

Her honesty and directness made Li Guifang feel the excitement of unprecedented challenges and opportunities.

For Li Guifang, working in the city is not only a change of identity, but also the beginning of realizing her self-worth.

Although she was filled with anxiety and anticipation, Xu Xiufang's support and commitment were like a shot in the arm, giving her the courage to move forward.

In the afternoon, when Xu Xiufang took the children on their way home, her words were like a spring breeze that blew away the haze in the children's hearts. Their cheers and excitement were the purest yearning for the new world.

The conversation between Xu Xiufang and Xie Yi is a profound exchange between adults about responsibility, safety and dreams. Every sentence carries expectations for the future and careful consideration of reality.

In this small village, everyone is fighting against worldly prejudices and pursuing their own happiness and peace in their own way.

Xu Xiufang, her family and friends are working together to paint a picture of hope, growth and transformation, and all this has just begun.

Xu Xiufang's eyes flashed with determination and recognition, and her tone was full of expectations for her children's future: "It would be the best if the children could receive education in the city. As for this old house made of blue bricks, I didn't get much benefit from it. Instead, it gave people the illusion that we got a great bargain. There is no point in keeping it."

Xie Yi's mouth curled up into a gentle smile, his eyes revealing his deep concern for his family: "This is a very good decision. When the time comes, I will give the property directly to them to avoid future disputes and unnecessary troubles."

He thought to himself that as the only son in the family, the responsibilities he shouldered made it impossible for him to turn a blind eye to his parents' predicament.

Over the years, he and his wife have lived frugally and invested almost all their savings in this house. In this case, they might as well just call it a day, which would also be a way for them to show their love for their parents.

Although blood ties cannot be severed, he knows that for the healthy growth of his three young children, reducing unnecessary contact with their parents may be the wisest choice.

After all, the complexity and troubles of the adult world should not affect the innocent hearts of children too early.

Just as the two were discussing heatedly, a fierce argument suddenly came from the house. It was the voices of Xu Xiaohua and Guo Shunqiang, like thunder in a summer afternoon, breaking the original tranquility.

Upon hearing this, Xie Yi and Xu Xiufang immediately put down their work and walked quickly to the main room. Xu Xiaohua's cheeks were flushed, and she pointed at Guo Shunqiang with a trembling finger. Her voice was full of unquestionable determination: "There is nothing to discuss between us. There is no other way except divorce."

Guo Shunqiang tried to save the situation by making amends: "Didn't the Women's Federation say that we can resolve the issue through negotiation? Why can't it work for you?"

There was a mixture of reluctance and helplessness in his tone.

Xu Xiufang keenly caught the subtle change in the atmosphere and quickly stepped forward to ask the Women's Federation staff present for details: "What's going on? My sister just wants to end this painful marriage as soon as possible."

There was a hint of anxiety and confusion in her voice.

Facing Xu Xiufang's question, the two staff members frowned and said in a sincere and serious manner: "For such situations, we usually try mediation first. If reconciliation is really impossible, we will consider divorce. Our purpose is not to go through the motions, but to sincerely hope to help every family find the best solution."
