The Fat Wife of the 1980s Awakens

Chapter 171 Give Her a Surprise

Xie Yi always finds it difficult to hide this pure happiness in front of Xu Xiufang.

But for Feng Dongling, witnessing the deep emotional bond between Xie Yi and Xu Xiufang was an extremely rare scene.

The two previous missed opportunities made Feng Dongling curious and puzzled about the interaction between Xie Yi and his wife.

Just as Feng Dongling was looking at Xie Yi's hurriedly leaving back, with doubts in his heart and worried whether Xie Yi had wavered in his feelings, he suddenly realized that he could not stay out of it, especially considering Xie Chunyan's feelings.

He secretly vowed that no matter what, he would find out the truth and protect Xie Chunyan from harm.

At the same time, Xu Xiufang had already walked into the post office and went straight to the mailing service counter.

There were not many people in the post office and there was no need to wait in line. The staff politely asked her to show the items she wanted to send.

Xu Xiufang calmly took out the gift she had prepared long ago from her backpack.

Although she had promised Sanbao that she would prepare gifts, considering the actual situation of both families and the fact that both parents were still alive, the necessary etiquette would naturally not be lacking.

Therefore, she chose some small and exquisite gifts with beautiful meanings to express her blessings.

Xu Xiufang took great pains in choosing the gift.

In this era, although gold and silver jewelry are valuable, they are not practical for my brother and sister-in-law who live a simple life.

After careful consideration, she finally decided to give a set of exquisite ebony dressing mirrors and a pair of auspicious cups with the word "happiness" on them as gifts.

The ebony comb is not only hard in texture and calm in color, but also helps to maintain the hair. The pair of cups with the word "囍" on them are made of high-quality ceramics and painted with traditional "囍" patterns. They embody the good wishes of traditional wedding customs while retaining the simplicity and elegance of modern aesthetics, and will surely win the favor of the sister-in-law.

Xu Xiufang carefully placed the wrapped gift on the counter and was about to fill out the mailing form when a familiar and surprising voice suddenly rang in her ears: "Second sister-in-law, you are here too."

This voice, like a spring breeze, brought a warm feeling to Xu Xiufang's heart.

Xu Xiufang paused slightly, and the moment she turned around, her eyes met Xie Chunyan's familiar face. She couldn't help but feel a ripple in her heart, with a bit of unexpected surprise.

"My eldest brother is getting married, and I was thinking about what gift to choose to express my feelings. I didn't expect that you would appear here at this time."

There was a hint of curiosity in her tone, and her brows revealed her joy at this chance encounter.

Hearing this, Xie Chunyan's face blossomed into a warm smile, like a ray of warm sunshine in winter, warm but not dazzling.

"I happened to go back to my hometown during the holiday. There were some fresh vegetables left at home. I wanted to give them to my elder sister who lives in the same yard as me so that they wouldn't go to waste. She works very hard at the post office, so I wanted to give her a surprise. I passed by here, so I thought of telling you first."

Her words were full of care and consideration for her family, and every word revealed sincerity.

As the staff member's polite but firm voice sounded, asking to check the contents of the package, Xu Xiufang calmly took out the carefully wrapped gift box from the cloth bag she was carrying.

The gift box has a simple and elegant appearance, and it is wrapped with an elegant ribbon, making it look particularly delicate.

When she gently opened the lid of the box, a pair of crystal clear glass cups came into view. The surface of the cups was as smooth as a mirror, reflecting the soft light in the room, which was so beautiful that it made people's heart beat.

Xie Chunyan's eyes were immediately drawn to it. She was amazed. "Oh, this cup is so exquisite and has a strong sense of design. It should be a high-end product imported from Hai City or Xiangjiang. My second brother often does transportation. Could it be that he brought this back specially for your eldest brother's wedding?"

Her words were full of envy and admiration, as if she could already imagine the warm scene of the pair of cups placed in the home of the newlyweds.

Xu Xiufang smiled slightly. Although she was a little nervous in her heart, she remained calm on the surface: "Well, you are right. It is indeed my second brother's intention."

Her answer was fluent and natural, and even though it was an impromptu lie, it seemed reasonable. After all, it seemed to be the most appropriate explanation for a sudden question.

However, just when she thought this little episode was about to transition smoothly, a familiar and majestic voice sounded behind her, like a sudden thunder on a summer afternoon, making her heart suddenly tighten.

"daughter in law!"

The voice penetrated the air and struck Xu Xiufang's heart, causing her to freeze in place involuntarily, with an indescribable emotion surging in her heart.

She subconsciously uttered a questioning syllable, and the moment she turned her head, she met Xie Yi's complex and deep eyes.

There was both blame and a bit of heartache in his eyes, leaving Xu Xiufang at a loss as to what to do for a moment and she could only remain silent in awkward silence.

When Xie Chunyan saw Xie Yi, she didn't seem to notice the subtle change in the atmosphere. Instead, she smiled even more brightly: "Second brother, this cup is indeed what you brought back from your last business trip to the beach, right? You have a good eye!"

Her tone was lighthearted, as if it was all just a harmless misunderstanding.

Xie Yi glanced at Xu Xiufang, caught her slight uneasiness, and sighed inwardly.

Just then, a staff member came to ask for the mailing receipt. Xu Xiufang took the opportunity to turn around, coughed twice to cover up, and began to fill it out carefully.

Although her movements were small, they did not escape Xie Yi's keen observation. His eyes became more profound, as if he was thinking about something. But soon, he adjusted his mood and nodded gently to Xie Chunyan, helping his wife out: "Yes, Chunyan is right."

Hearing this, Xie Chunyan shook her head with a little regret: "It seems that this gift is quite precious. Is there anything else you want to send together?"

There was some anticipation in her tone, but she didn't want to burden Xu Xiufang.

Xu Xiufang shook her head slightly: "This is the only set of cups I have. I hope my brother and the others will like it."

Xie Chunyan felt a little regretful when she heard this, but she didn't ask too many questions. She just said simply, "Is that so? Forget it then."

At this moment, Feng Dongling hurried in and happened to witness the "confrontation" between Xie Yi and Xie Chunyan, and also discovered Xu Xiufang standing behind Xie Chunyan.

He suddenly had an ominous premonition in his heart, mistakenly thinking that some of his guesses were confirmed. He was so nervous that his heart almost jumped out of his throat, and he shouted loudly: "Calm down, everyone calm down!"

"Calm down, Chunyan."

Feng Dongling quickly stood in front of Xie Chunyan, trying to calm down the misunderstanding. "Things are not what you think. That lady and Brother Yi really have nothing to do with each other. They are just ordinary friends. I can guarantee it! Brother Yi's feelings for his sister-in-law..."

Having said this, he suddenly braked the car because he noticed Xu Xiufang turning her head, her eyes seemed to be able to see through everything.
