The Fat Wife of the 1980s Awakens

"Okay, Dad."

Dabao responded meekly.

Xie Yi turned around and went back to his room, intending to take advantage of the morning quietness to catch up on some sleep with his wife.

Xu Xiufang had already woken up. When she saw her husband come in, her cheeks turned red and the warm scene of last night quietly emerged in her mind.

Xie Yi understood his wife's thoughts at a glance, a gentle smile appeared on his lips, and he embraced her in his arms, "Wife, you are already a mother of four children, why are you still so shy?"

Xu Xiufang's face turned even redder. She patted her husband's chest and said coquettishly, "You are so shameless."

She still remembered that when they first met, he was still a shy and introverted young man.

Just as the atmosphere was becoming more and more romantic, Xie Yi's voice suddenly became a little strange, causing Xu Xiufang to freeze involuntarily.

She was satisfied last night, but he had been forbearing. She was worried that he would not be able to control himself now.

However, Xie Yi laughed in a low voice, breaking the tense atmosphere.

Xu Xiufang sighed helplessly: "You are teasing me again!"

After some fun, Xie Yi finally got up and prepared to start a new day.

Xu Xiufang accompanied him for breakfast and watched him go out for work, feeling reluctant to let him go.

Soon, noisy discussions were heard in the village - Zhou Qifeng was actually arrested!

This news was like a stone thrown into a calm lake, causing ripples.

After Zhou Qifeng was arrested, he gritted his teeth and refused to confess even when subjected to severe torture.

In addition, the items he hid were cleverly transferred to Xu Xiufang's backpack, and the police did not find any conclusive evidence on him.

A week later, he was released due to lack of direct evidence.

Zhou Qifeng, who regained his freedom, was covered in wounds, one of his legs was severely fractured. He looked haggard and his former spirit was gone.

The villagers were somewhat dissatisfied because they had been reprimanded by the police for calling the police. Many people took the opportunity to ridicule him or even deliberately distance themselves from him.

Even the old ox, who was usually helpful, was unwilling to let Zhou Qifeng ride on his ox cart.

In desperation, Gu Tingting could only turn to her sister and brother-in-law for help.

Xie Laosan and Gu Xiaoling felt ashamed about this matter and were unwilling to appear in public in broad daylight. It was not until nightfall that Xie Laosan quietly carried Zhou Qifeng back home.

In the days that followed, Zhou Qifeng hardly left the house, spending the whole day at home recuperating from his injuries.

Although they did not have to work in the fields, there were occasional collective labor activities in the village, but the villagers tacitly stopped inviting them to participate, and naturally, they lost the opportunity to earn work points.

As a teacher, the Gu family would naturally not lend a helping hand to Zhou Qifeng; as for the Xie family, they would avoid them as much as possible. Even Gu Xiaoling was afraid of being ostracized because of this, so she tried to reduce contact with them as much as possible to avoid getting into trouble.

Zhou Qifeng and his wife's life in the village became more difficult as a result.

One day, Xu Xiufang ran into Gu Tingting by chance. The other person's eyes were full of resentment and blame: "A Feng has become like this because of you! If you hadn't hurt him, he wouldn't have been caught at all!"

Hearing this, Xu Xiufang calmly picked up a stone from the ground and weighed it gently in her hand, with a playful smile on her lips, "Then why don't you tell me how he wanted to drag me into this?"

Gu Tingting was shocked by this sudden questioning and could not help but take a step back. She said in a low and angry voice: "You vicious woman, you will get your retribution one day!"

Xu Xiufang pretended to throw a stone and Gu Tingting quickly dodged.

With a "pop" sound, Xu Xiufang's hand loosened slightly, and the stone drew an arc and flew out.

"what!"

Gu Tingting's nerves were tense and she screamed subconsciously. In panic, she tripped herself and staggered a few steps.

When she came to her senses, she realized that Xu Xiufang was just bluffing. She was furious and left angrily, leaving a series of heavy footsteps echoing in the empty village road.

Xu Xiufang raised her lips in a disdainful smile, which contained a hint of helplessness and self-mockery.

She lowered her head and her eyes met Xiaobao's gently. She saw that the child's clear eyes were full of admiration. His little hand carefully pulled out a neatly folded handkerchief from his pocket, and his childish voice revealed a hint of seriousness: "Mommy, wipe your hands."

The edges of this handkerchief have turned slightly yellow, but the small flower pattern embroidered on it is still bright. Xiaobao chose it himself. He said that it would make his mommy feel good when she uses it.

He is always like this, considerate at a young age. His habit of carrying a handkerchief with him seems to be his insistence on keeping the world pure.

Xu Xiufang took the handkerchief, the delicate touch of cotton melted in her palms, and she wiped her hands carefully, her movements gentle and loving.

Then, she gently pinched Xiaobao's chubby cheeks, with a smile in her eyes and a hint of teasing in her tone: "Oh, my little adult, who did you learn to be so sensible from?"

Xiaobao blinked his big eyes with an innocent look, as if he was really thinking about this question: "Do I want to learn? Mommy, I don't know."

Xu Xiufang raised her eyebrows and secretly sighed in her heart that her little treasure was really a born smart guy, and his innocence and intelligence were natural.

After completing the payment of public grain, it is time to distribute the grain.

This year, Xie Yi joined the transport team and did not go to the fields himself, so naturally he did not accumulate any work points.

However, Dabao and Erbao's hard work in cutting grass for the pigs also earned some work points for the family.

In addition, the thirty yuan that Cheng Panhua had previously owed was also repaid to Xu Xiufang in the form of work points, thus settling an old debt.

Although Cheng Panhua's status in the village was slightly better than Zhou Qifeng and Gu Tingting, the incident of falling into the water still put her in a very embarrassing situation.

Therefore, this time she was unexpectedly straightforward and proposed to use work points to pay off the debt, and her attitude was firm and there was no hesitation at all.

In private, Cheng Panhua approached Xu Xiufang and said in a low, apologetic voice: "Xiufang, can we still be friends? I have completely given up on Zhou Qifeng. They have ruined my reputation. From now on, they are my enemies."

Xu Xiufang felt mixed emotions. Could it be that this woman in front of her was glad that she didn't become a member of the Zhou family because she saw Zhou Qifeng's current situation?

Wanting to reconcile means that he thinks that he is in opposition to Zhou Qifeng and Gu Tingting, and they want to win him over and gain benefits from it?

Xu Xiufang had a half-smile on her lips and a complicated look in her eyes: "I'm afraid your wishful thinking is wrong."

Cheng Panhua's body stiffened slightly, but there was not much surprise on her face.

She had already anticipated such an outcome. Xu Xiufang was no longer the woman who was easily deceived by sweet words.

"I was just too wishful."

Cheng Panhua admitted it frankly without saying anything more. He silently carried the remaining food on his back. His figure looked a little lonely in the setting sun, and he slowly left.
