The Fat Wife of the 1980s Awakens

In his previous life, Zhou Qifeng did not use these properties. After returning to the city, their value increased several times and became an important capital for his comeback.

But in this life, he chose to take them to the black market, eager to exchange them for cash. Xu Xiufang had a rough answer to the reason behind this when she combined it with the fact that Gu Xiaoling's family depended on Zhou Qifeng like a parasite.

But what does it matter to her? Now that it has fallen into her hands, it is naturally hers.

Xu Xiufang raised the corners of her mouth slightly, put these valuable items into her secret space one by one, turned around, and walked firmly towards home!

After returning home, Xu Xiufang carried a pound of carefully selected pork belly and a fat pig's trotter and went to her neighbor's house.

At the door, she met Boss Xie.

"Big brother."

Xu Xiufang called softly and handed over the meat and pig's trotter in her hand.

Due to his mother's instructions, Boss Xie refused to accept any monetary gifts, but he seemed a little embarrassed about the actual meat.

My family is in financial difficulty this year and I haven’t had any meat for half a year.

He was fine, but his pregnant wife was in urgent need of nutritional supplements.

Finally, he took it with a bit of embarrassment and said gratefully, "Then I would like to thank you on behalf of my wife."

Xu Xiufang said a few polite words and was about to go into the house to play with Xiaobao, but unexpectedly, Xie's mother was taking Xiaobao out. When she saw the meat and pig's trotters in Xie's hands, she was surprised, "Oh, why did you bring so much meat?"

Xu Xiufang smiled but said nothing. She explained in a relaxed tone, "Look at the quality of the meat. It just so happened that Brother Yi got his salary two days ago, so I thought of buying some meat to honor the two elders. As for the pig's trotter, my eldest sister-in-law was pregnant, and I bought it before I had time to congratulate her."

Although she said that, any discerning person could tell that this was Xu Xiufang's small reward for thanking Mother Xie and Boss Xie for helping her harvest the vegetables a few days ago.

Upon hearing this, Xie's mother said nothing more and accepted the gift with joy.

Soon after Xu Xiufang returned home, Xie's mother quietly found Xie's father and said naggingly: "I wanted to take this opportunity to ask the eldest son to help and bring the two families closer, but the second son's family is too clear about the divisions and even specially sent meat and pig's trotters!"

"It's better to make it clear so as to avoid confusion in the future."

Father Xie took a puff of the dry tobacco given by Xu Xiufang, his face filled with satisfaction and appreciation.

"It's too clear, it seems strange, how can we still look like a family?"

Xie's mother complained in a low voice.

Father Xie glanced at her sideways, tapped her head lightly with his pipe, and joked, "The third brother's family is not so clear-cut. Yesterday they even moved the firewood you picked up into the kitchen. Do you want such a family?"

This scene is full of warmth between neighbors and little wisdom in life, and also adds a bit of warmth and humanity to the story.

Xie's mother was speechless for a moment, feeling mixed emotions, but then she changed her mind and felt that the second family's attitude of clear boundaries might not be a bad thing. At least it could avoid many unnecessary disputes.

Xie Yi's steps tonight were lighter than usual. He entered the house early. What caught his eye was the shiny piece of meat on the table. He couldn't help but ask his busy wife curiously, "Wife, did you go to town today?"

There was a hint of surprise and concern in his voice.

Xu Xiufang was busy putting the dishes on the table. When she heard this, she simply said, "Yeah."

When Xie Yi heard this, his expression changed slightly. He glanced back and forth at her, as if looking for some clues. Then he asked with concern, "Did you encounter any trouble?"

Xu Xiufang was somewhat puzzled by his sudden nervousness, and a puzzled look appeared between her brows: "What's wrong?"

"I heard that the black market near the meat processing plant was raided today. Many people were involved and some were injured," Xie Yi explained patiently, with a hint of worry in his tone, "You didn't encounter that scene, did you?"

Hearing this, Xu Xiufang smiled with ease: "We did run into them, but I was smart. When I saw the situation was not good, I hid aside and left quietly after the crowd dispersed."

There was a hint of pride in her words, as if she was showing off her wit, "Don't worry, I'm fine."

Hearing this, Xie Yi's tense nerves finally relaxed, and the heavy stone in his heart fell to the ground.

As the night deepened, the clock quietly pointed to half past nine. Xu Xiufang and her family were just about to turn off the lights and go to bed when there was a sudden knock on the door outside, breaking the tranquility of the night.

"Who?"

Xu Xiufang frowned and muttered in a low voice, obviously dissatisfied with this untimely visitor, "What time is it now?"

"You go to sleep first, I'll go take a look."

While comforting his wife, Xie Yi quickly got out of bed, carefully tucked in the quilt for her, put on his coat, picked up a flashlight, and strode out the door.

Outside the door, Mr. and Mrs. Xie, the third family, Gu Tingting, and even the two elders of the Xie family were all standing at the door of the old house in dishevel, obviously awakened from their dreams by the sudden knock on the door.

Xie's mother's face was full of displeasure, and her eyes were full of dissatisfaction and blame for this late-night disturbance.

As soon as Gu Xiaoling saw Xie Yi and the majestic little dog behind him, she couldn't help but shrink her body. Her eyes were full of vigilance as she stared at Xiaole, who was wagging his tail and looked extremely happy.

Gu Tingting was extremely anxious and almost pleaded, "Second Brother Xie, can you please do me a favor?"

"What's the deal?"

Xie Yi had no expression on his face and spoke in a flat tone.

Gu Tingting hesitated to speak, with many concerns in her heart. She was afraid that the past grudges would make Xie Yi reject her outright, so she gently pulled Xie Lao San's sleeve and called out in a voice that was almost whispered: "Brother-in-law..."

Xie Laosan gritted his teeth and mustered up the courage to speak: "Second brother, my brother-in-law went to the city this morning and hasn't come back yet. Can you accompany me to the city to look for him?"

Looking for Zhou Qifeng?

Xie Yi was secretly surprised. Why would Zhou Qifeng come to him when he was in trouble? It was fine if outsiders didn't know about their feud, but did Gu Tingting forget it too?

He would never do such a thing as repaying evil with kindness!

So, Xie Yi refused coldly: "No!"

Before he finished speaking, he pretended to close the door.

"Thank you, second brother!"

Gu Tingting was anxious and almost shouted, "Then can you lend us your bicycle?"

"Can't!"

Xie Yi's answer was direct and sharp, with a hint of sarcasm in his words, "I'm looking forward to seeing him suffer, right?"

Gu Tingting was suddenly speechless and didn't know how to respond.

Everyone looked at each other, surprised at Xie Yi's unexpected reaction, and were stunned for a moment.

Xie Yi's attitude of indifference seems too righteous. Isn't he afraid of being criticized for this?

Just as Xie Yi was about to close the door completely, Xu Xiufang suddenly walked out of the room.

"daughter in law?"

Xie Yi turned around when he heard the voice, his eyes fell gently on his wife.

Gu Tingting glanced at Xu Xiufang, and a hint of barely perceptible disgust flashed across her eyes.
