The Fat Wife of the 1980s Awakens

Chapter 127 Playing devil’s advocate

When Xu Xiufang saw Guo Shunqiang's miserable appearance, she had deeper suspicions about what he might have done to Xu Xiaohua behind her back, and she silently made a note of it in her heart.

She secretly swore that if Guo Shunqiang dared to harass Xu Xiaohua again in the future, she would never show mercy.

The staff quickly and efficiently issued a divorce certificate, and before leaving, they specifically reminded Xu Xiaohua that no matter what difficulties she encountered in the future, she could always seek help from the organization. This care is like a ray of sunshine in winter, warming the heart.

Guo Shunqiang held the divorce certificate in his hand, his whole body trembling with anger, but he knew very well that in the face of law and justice, any thought of violence would be futile.

He could only suppress his inner resentment and anger, waiting for a time he thought was right to implement his revenge plan.

Xie Yi watched all this coldly. His sharp gaze made Guo Shunqiang feel a piercing chill, and he could only leave the scene in disgrace.

With tears in her eyes, Xu Xiaohua looked at Xu Xiufang gratefully, "I really don't know how to thank you."

"Oh, we're sisters, why be so polite. Besides, the job opportunity I mentioned before is serious. You don't have to run around anymore. I will help you find a stable place to live, and everything will get better slowly."

Xu Xiufang's words are like a spring breeze, warming people's hearts.

"However, you may still need to live in the village temporarily at first. I am worried that Guo Shunqiang will retaliate. The neighbors in the village can take care of each other, which is much safer than you being alone outside."

Xu Xiufang's careful consideration made Xu Xiaohua feel warm inside and she was so moved that she almost lost her mind.

Then, Xu Xiufang suggested, "Please pack up and we'll go into town to have a nice meal tonight. I'll pay for it. Bring the children and Sister Li along, and we'll celebrate the beginning of your new life."

Although Xu Xiaohua felt warm in her heart, her frugal nature made her resist instinctively: "Cooking at home is much more economical, eating out is too wasteful, I have to save money that I have worked hard to earn."

Xu Xiufang smiled so much that her eyes curved into crescents, and she said softly, "Money is earned, not saved."

She joked, "You always like to contradict me."

Xu Xiaohua was about to launch into a long speech, but Xu Xiufang didn't want to argue on this topic anymore and announced directly: "The restaurant has been booked. It would be a waste if we don't go."

After these words were spoken, no matter how many objections Xu Xiaohua had, she could only swallow them silently and acquiesce to this arrangement.

As night fell, the group, led by Xu Xiufang, walked into an elegantly decorated restaurant.

They ordered braised prawns, steamed sea bass, and the children's favorites, such as sweet and sour pork, candied sweet potatoes and braised pork.

Every dish is delicious, especially because of the freshness of the ingredients, which makes these seemingly ordinary dishes taste particularly different, and you seem to be able to taste the natural sweetness in every bite.

The children stared with curious eyes, looking at the dazzling array of delicious food on the table, swallowing their saliva from time to time. Such a scene was undoubtedly a novel and exciting experience for them.

The layout on the dining table was also very exquisite. The delicate tableware matched the elegant environment perfectly, and the little ones were full of surprises.

Seeing this, Xu Xiufang urged with a smile: "Why don't you pick up your chopsticks? Come and try it and see if it suits your taste."

As if they had received instructions, the children rushed to pick up their chopsticks and ate with relish, their faces filled with happy smiles. Xu Xiaohua and Li Guifang were also infected by the warm atmosphere and couldn't help but taste a few bites.

Xu Xiaohua asked in confusion: "Why are these same dishes so delicious when cooked in a restaurant?"

Li Guifang continued, "How could we afford to use so much oil and salt at home? We have to use basic seasonings sparingly, not to mention those complicated condiments."

There was a hint of self-mockery in her words, and she also revealed her feelings about the difficulties of life.

……

As there were urgent matters to be dealt with on the construction site, Xie Yi left early.

Xu Xiufang took Li Guifang and Xu Xiaohua to the store, on the one hand to check the progress of the decoration, and on the other hand to let them familiarize themselves with the working environment in advance, and to help Xu Xiaohua find a rental house nearby.

"Sister, don't worry. This house is not just for you. I can also use it to store goods. Let's rent a bigger one, preferably one with two or three rooms, so that I don't have to rush home if I work overtime late."

Xu Xiufang patiently explained that what she was most worried about was that Xu Xiaohua would feel lonely and sad when she was alone at night.

"Is it really not just for me? But I feel bad for taking advantage of you like this. I'll pay half of the rent."

Xu Xiaohua was a little hesitant. She didn't want to add too much burden to her sister because of herself.

There was a hint of determination in Xu Xiaohua's eyes. She held the children's hands tightly, ensuring that they felt safe and secure even in the noisy streets.

Her smile was warm and encouraging, as if telling Xu Xiufang that they supported everything at home and she had no need to worry.

Li Guifang had a serious look on her face, her eyes flashing with a determination that should not be underestimated.

She patted Xu Xiaohua's shoulder gently. Although the action was small, it was full of power and silently conveyed her support and trust for Xu Xiufang.

Then, she lowered her head and whispered to the children, using simple words to calm their curiosity and anxiety, allowing them to find fun in the waiting.

Xu Xiufang's back as she turned and left looked particularly determined, and each step she took was steady and powerful.

She knows that the road ahead will not be smooth, but her heart is full of longing for the future and fearlessness of challenges.

The outline of the factory gradually became clear in the distance. It was not only the key to her solution to the problem, but also the place where her dream began.

The factory gate shone with a cold and hard luster in the sun. The security guard was a middle-aged man. The wrinkles on his face showed the traces of time, but his eyes were unusually sharp.

Xu Xiufang walked forward with a smile, her tone was just the right amount of politeness and confidence: "Brother, I'm Xu Xiufang, who just rented a shop across the street. I have something urgent to discuss with your factory manager. Can you help me get in touch with him?"

The security guard looked Xu Xiufang up and down, as if assessing her sincerity and credibility. After a moment, he nodded, picked up the phone on the table, and briefly explained the situation.

After hanging up the phone, he smiled at Xu Xiufang and said, "Girl, you are lucky. The factory manager said he can see you, but he only has ten minutes."

Xu Xiufang nodded gratefully, secretly rejoicing in her heart.

She straightened her clothes, took a deep breath, and walked into the factory gate.
