The Fat Wife of the 1980s Awakens

Xu Xiufang keenly caught this subtle change, the corners of her mouth slightly raised, and her tone was a little playful: "Looking for Zhou Qifeng?"

"none of your business."

Seeing Xie Yi's resolute attitude just now, Gu Tingting realized that the couple was unlikely to lend a helping hand, so she decided not to hide it anymore and planned to let Xie Laosan go directly to the old village chief's house to inquire about the possibility of borrowing a car.

"I know where he is," Xu Xiufang spoke again, her tone firm, "He was probably taken to the Public Security Bureau."

Gu Tingting suddenly turned to Xu Xiufang, her eyes full of shock.

Xu Xiufang turned to look at Xie's father and mother who were standing in front of the Xie family's old house, and said slowly: "Dad, Mom, the black market on the street was investigated today, and Zhou Qifeng was also there. I just happened to pass by, and he threw a package into my backpack..."

"what?"

When Xie's mother heard this, she immediately became nervous, "Are you okay?"

"I am fine."

Xu Xiufang comforted him, "Those people found out that I was innocent, took the package and let me go."

Xie's mother was relieved, and then she complained indignantly: "This heartless man wants to drag you down! What an ungrateful person! If he is really caught, let him suffer a little, parade him through the streets, shave his head like a yin-yang, and his children in the future will be eyeless!"

After venting her anger, Mother Xie looked at the eldest and third sons of the Xie family.

She didn't want her children to go out so late at night, but because of their relationship, she couldn't say anything more.

Now was the perfect time for her to stop them: "Big Brother Xie, Big Brother Xie, hurry home and don't look for me anymore!"

Upon hearing this, Boss Xie turned around and walked home without saying a word.

Xie Lao San hesitated for a moment, looking embarrassed: "Mom, Qi Feng did help us a lot in the past..."

"You!"

Mother Xie was so angry that she shook her head and said, "Okay, since I have helped you, go ahead and find it."

As soon as she finished speaking, Mother Xie turned to Xu Xiufang and Xie Yi, her face instantly filled with a kind smile: "Second brother, second brother's family, you should also go to bed early."

"okay."

Xie Yi responded and gently closed his door.

At the same time, the door of Old Xie's house slammed shut, cutting off all the disturbances outside.

"Sister, brother-in-law..." Gu Tingting's voice was filled with tears. She looked at Gu Xiaoling and Xie Laosan helplessly, "What should I do?"

Gu Xiaoling was also worried when she heard that Zhou Qifeng might be arrested, fearing that this incident would affect her family, but she pretended to be calm and said, "Don't believe Xu Xiufang's words. She just can't bear to see us get better. My brother-in-law might be fine."

"Shall we go check it out then?"

Gu Tingting's voice was full of begging.

Gu Xiaoling seemed a little embarrassed: "It's late at night, so don't go. Go home and wait. I'll ask your brother-in-law to go to the city to ask around tomorrow morning, okay?"

Xie Laosan's voice sounded particularly cautious in the night breeze. His words were mixed with caution for the unknown and concern for his wife. "Yes, Tingting, you go home and have a good rest first. I'll go find out the news as soon as the sun rises."

Under the moonlight, his expression was firm, as if giving Gu Tingting a reassurance.

Although Gu Tingting was extremely anxious, seeing how persistent Xie Laosan and his wife were, a trace of helplessness and gratitude flashed in her eyes. In the end, she could only nod in agreement, turned around and set off on the journey home. Her back looked lonely and determined in the night.

Gu Xiaoling silently followed Xie Laosan's footsteps and did not offer to accompany Gu Tingting. Perhaps it was because she knew very well that everyone needed some peace of mind to calm the waves in their hearts at this moment.

The two returned home. It was already late at night. The lights in the house were dim, reflecting their tiredness. They were speechless to each other. They simply said good night to each other and went to rest.

As for Xu Xiufang, the moment the door closed, Xie Yi couldn't wait to hug her in his arms, wrapping his arms tightly around her waist. The warmth and strength seemed to silently convey his worry and longing.

As the two of them slowly walked into the house, Xie Yi's voice was low and gentle, "Wife, why didn't you tell me about this?" There was both inquiry and reproach in his eyes, with complex emotions intertwined.

Xu Xiufang glanced at him sideways, wondering whether Xie Yi was jealous because of Zhou Qifeng's matter, or whether he was simply concerned about her.

Xie Yi seemed to see through her thoughts. He paused and gently placed his other hand on her waist. He said in a firm and sincere tone, "Wife, I'm not jealous!"

Xu Xiufang was slightly stunned, with a hint of surprise in her eyes, "You know what I'm thinking?" There was a hint of disbelief in her voice.

Xie Yi lowered his head, his nose almost touching hers, and his deep voice echoed in the quiet air, "Well. Why didn't you tell me?"

Xu Xiufang chuckled, with a hint of playfulness, "I didn't want to make you worry, and the matter has been resolved. I even gave him a few bricks as a reward!"

When she mentioned the last part, there was a slight glint of pride in her eyes, as if she was showing off her own bravery.

However, Xie Yi did not smile, but bit her lips lightly to show his dissatisfaction.

Xu Xiufang felt the pain and uttered a hissing sound. She covered her mouth with her hands, and her eyes were filled with reproach and anger. "It hurts so much."

"This is a punishment!" Xie Yi's tone was full of unquestionable determination, "I am your man, how could you not tell me just because you were afraid that I would worry?" He paused, and added, "Now I know that you don't like Zhou Qifeng."

Hearing this, Xu Xiufang smiled slyly, "Hmm, do you believe me now?"

She teased deliberately, with a mischievous gleam in her eyes, "Then who do I like now?"

"I am," Xie Yi's tone was full of pride. His confident look made Xu Xiufang secretly laugh. Since Old Xie was sure of her feelings, he became more energetic.

"Right?" Xie Yi was looking forward to her confirmation, and his desire was as pure as a child's.

"That's right!" Xu Xiufang's answer was crisp and clear, leaving no room for doubt. She didn't want any uncertainty to affect the trust that they had worked so hard to build between them.

"Not wrong what?" Xie Yi pressed on, his tone full of anticipation, as if he was waiting for some important announcement.

Xu Xiufang saw through his thoughts, gently broke free from his arms, with a mysterious smile on her lips.

“You know what I mean.”

Xie Yi was relentless, like a seductive little beast, trying his best to coax her, "Just tell me clearly."

Xu Xiufang pretended to be confused and asked, "What are you talking about?" But the smile in her eyes revealed her mischief.

Xie Yi caught the cunning look on her lips and knew that she was teasing him on purpose. He complained in a coquettish tone, "Wife~"

Xu Xiufang couldn't help laughing. Just as she was walking to the door, she gently pushed him and changed the subject, "Go and see if the third kid kicked off the quilt!"

Xie Yi pushed open the bedroom door. The light inside was dim. He picked up the flashlight, put his arm around Xu Xiufang's waist, and reminded her carefully, "Watch your step."
