The Fat Wife of the 1980s Awakens

Just as Xiaobao was muttering in his heart, Xu Xiufang interrupted at the right time, with a tone of severity and kindness: "Xiaobao, I gave you three extra candies this morning. As a punishment, you will not have any candies for the next week."

"But shouldn't three candies be punished over three days? How did it become a week?"

When Xiaobao heard this, his face immediately wrinkled into a ball, full of anxiety and confusion.

Xu Xiufang gently pinched his small nose, with a cunning light in her eyes: "Who told you to secretly leak the information, you little traitor!"

After saying that, she turned and walked into the house, leaving Xiaobao alone, feeling upset.

Xiao Bao looked at his eldest and second brothers helplessly, his eyes full of grievance: "My candies are all gone!"

"Just bear with it, it's a small matter."

Dabao gave a perfunctory word of comfort and then followed him into the house, leaving Xiaobao alone outside the door, looking particularly lonely.

Erbao followed behind his eldest brother with a confident smile on his face, and said nonchalantly: "It's all for mom's health. What's the big deal if I eat less sugar for a few days? When I make a lot of money in the future, I'll buy you a room full of candy and let you eat as much as you want!"

His tone was full of anticipation and confidence for the future.

Xiao Bao's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he asked expectantly, "When will you have money?"

"Who knows?" Erbao shrugged, looking fearless, which left Xiaobao speechless for a moment. He could only swallow the desire in his heart silently.

The next day, as the sun was setting, Erbao came home from school. Instead of cutting grass for the pigs as usual, he picked up a heavy hoe and walked to the field with his elder brother. Xu Xiufang followed them with a gentle but firm look, watching and supervising to ensure the safety of the two children.

Suddenly, a loud noise broke the tranquility of the village. Xu Xiufang turned around and saw two people carrying a figure not far away, staggering forward and gradually approaching.

When they got closer, Xu Xiufang saw clearly that the person being carried was Zhou Qifeng. He was pale and obviously in a coma. Xu Xiufang's heart tightened and she quickly asked Liu Ying beside her about the situation.

Liu Ying curled her lips, her tone full of disdain: "What else could it be? That nerd had an injury on his leg but still insisted on going to the field. He didn't even know how to rest in such a hot day, and ended up fainting in the field."

Xu Xiufang frowned slightly, wondering, "Why are you fighting so hard?"

Liu Ying sighed and explained, "Gu Tingting is pregnant and doesn't work now. If he doesn't work hard, how can he support Gu Tingting and the unborn baby?"

"Gu Tingting is pregnant?"

Xu Xiufang was shocked. This sudden news surprised her a little. She thought to herself that Gu Tingting's pregnancy, Zhou Qifeng's injury, and Gu Xiaoling's "blood-sucking" behavior, this series of changes undoubtedly made the future of this family full of more uncertainty and challenges.

Xu Xiufang knew very well that this was definitely not the best time to solve the problem, and she was afraid that there would be more twists and turns in the future.

However, these disturbances have nothing to do with Xu Xiufang. She has always upheld the principle of being kind to others, and after her rebirth, she decided to stay away from the protagonists of these past stories and no longer get involved in those tangled entanglements.

After all, that emotional whirlpool was not originally caused by her.

Now, without the protection of the protagonist's halo, the difficulties faced by Zhou Qifeng and Gu Tingting are more due to their own choices and external pressures. The law of nature will no longer favor anyone...

Xu Xiufang has a side to her personality that is not easily moved by emotions. She quickly put the matter between Zhou Qifeng and Gu Tingting behind her and continued to focus on her own life.

However, things are unpredictable. Just two days later, the "sequel" that Xu Xiufang had vaguely anticipated came one after another.

It was a sunny afternoon. Xu Xiufang was taking Xiaobao for a leisurely walk near the old house when she was unexpectedly enthusiastically pulled back home by Xie's mother to chat.

During the conversation, the arrival of Gu Tingting interrupted their laughter. She claimed that she came to see Gu Xiaoling. Xu Xiufang did not take it too seriously and continued to chat with Xie's mother.

Soon, a loud "clang" was heard from the direction of the kitchen, followed by a wooden barrel rolling out rapidly, breaking the tranquility of the afternoon.

"Sister, Afeng's injury hasn't healed yet, and I'm pregnant. Is it so difficult to ask you to help carry two buckets of water?"

Gu Tingting's voice trembled slightly, and it was obvious that she was trying hard to control her inner anger and dissatisfaction.

Gu Xiaoling came out after hearing the voice, her face gloomy, and asked sternly: "Why are you yelling? Now you dare to talk back to me, your sister? Where is your heart? After your parents passed away, who raised you with all their hard work?"

"What haven't I given back to you over the years? Most of my salary was given to you! Which of your children's clothes, shoes, food and drink have I not worried about? Even the betrothal gift when I got married was taken away by you. Afeng worked hard to build two rooms, one of which your son lives in. Last year, your son's living expenses were almost all borne by us! And you, for fear that I would drag you down, had to hide your relationship with me. Now that I'm pregnant, you're not willing to even fetch some water..."

Gu Tingting's voice gradually choked up. Years of forbearance and grievances poured out like a flood at this moment. She recounted all the faults of Gu Xiaoling, her tears and accusations intertwined together, which was very moving.

"you you!"

Gu Xiaoling was so angry that she was shaking all over. In a fit of impulse, she slapped Gu Tingting hard on the face with a "slap".

Gu Tingting was stunned, looking at Gu Xiaoling in disbelief, her voice trembling: "You, you hit me?"

Gu Xiaoling regretted her move the moment she did it. She knew very well that Gu Tingting had a strong personality. With this slap, the sisterhood between the two would probably be gone, and Gu Tingting would definitely hate her to the core.

Facing Gu Xiaoling's violence, Gu Tingting's eyes were filled with deep disappointment and determination. She stared at Gu Xiaoling and nodded slowly: "Okay, everything in the past, plus this slap, the relationship between us is over. Now, you must get your son out of my house immediately! From now on, we will go our separate ways and have nothing to do with each other!"

"Okay! You're awesome! Let's cut it in half!"

Gu Xiaoling was blinded by anger. Perhaps she had a change of heart, or maybe she was really tired of this heavy relationship. She returned to Gu Tingting's home angrily, quickly packed the luggage of her two nephews, and left resolutely.

Gu Tingting did not stop her. Her back seemed extremely determined. It was obvious that she had made up her mind to draw a clear line with Gu Xiaoling and start her life again.

At this moment, Xu Xiufang and Xie's mother stood aside, witnessing this sudden dispute, exchanged complicated looks with each other, and tacitly chose to remain silent, allowing this family storm to rage around them, and they were just quiet bystanders.
