The Fat Wife of the 1980s Awakens

Chapter 178 I Will Never Let You Lose

"Wife, I know you are taking risks in your life as well," Xie Yi's eyes were deep, and his tone was full of unquestionable firmness and tenderness, "but please believe me, I will never let you lose, either now or in the future!"

There is no need for too many words to describe the following story. Xu Xiufang hugged Xie Yi's neck tightly, and this hug conveyed all the unspoken words, which was better than a thousand words.

As for the scene where the three brothers went to Fang Kai's house, it was snowing heavily outside the window and the road was worryingly slippery. Xu Xiufang insisted that they wait for their father to pick them up, for fear that they would fall on the road.

However, the children stayed at Chen's house for most of the day, but the father they were waiting for never showed up. In the end, Fang Kai drove them home safely.

There was a knock on the door in the middle of the night, waking up Xie Yi and Xu Xiufang who were immersed in their thoughts.

Xie Yi gently let his wife continue to sleep, and he casually put on a coat and walked to the door to prepare to greet them.

The door opened, and Erbao's slightly aggrieved voice immediately floated into the room: "Dad, did you fall asleep and forget to pick us up?"

"Hasn't Uncle Chen already sent you back safely?"

Xie Yi pretended to be serious, but couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth, pretending to blame, "Stop talking nonsense and go back to sleep."

Erbao snorted in dissatisfaction, turned around and thanked Fang Kai: "Thank you Uncle Qiang for sending us."

Fang Kai smiled and waved his hand: "It's okay, go back and have a good rest."

After watching the three children disappear into the night, Fang Kai winked at Xie Yi, approached with a smirk on his face, gently lifted Xie Yi's collar with his fingers, and whispered mysteriously, "It was quite intense."

"Screw you!"

Xie Yi pulled his collar back while laughing and cursing, then closed the door casually, isolating the cold wind and night outside.

...The night returned to silence again, leaving only the warm and slightly shy atmosphere in the house, permeating between the two of them.

In the blink of an eye, the morning light of 1986 was like a shy girl, quietly lifting the curtain of time and quietly descending on this ancient and hopeful land.

Xie Yi, the pillar of the family who had been working hard outside, was able to take off the dust on the day before New Year's Eve, and set out on his journey home with a deep longing for home.

This year's New Year's Eve is different from previous years. The tediousness and hard work of purchasing New Year's goods has been greatly simplified by the magical secret of space.

Ever since Xu Xiufang carefully revealed the mysterious space that belonged only to her, obtaining supplies for the home has become easy. There is no need to travel long distances into the city and shop through crowded crowds.

Everything needed for life appeared in the house silently as if by magic. Just a simple sentence "This is what Xie Yi brought back from outside" was enough to explain all the miracles.

After all, in the eyes of the neighbors, Xie Yi is a man who often goes out to explore the world. He brings back everything from delicacies from land and sea to strange gadgets. In addition, his awe-inspiring temperament makes people feel awe, curiosity and envy. However, no one dares to break this mystery easily or ask too many questions.

On New Year’s Eve, the warm scene of the reunion dinner still slowly unfolds in the old house that carries family memories.

After a meticulous cleaning, the old house looks brand new. The red spring couplets shine with festive light in the winter sun, as if every stroke contains beautiful wishes for the future.

After a busy day, the whole family moved to this old house full of traces of time with joy in their hearts.

Xie Yi, with his two lively children, Dabao and Erbao, were busy in the kitchen preparing the New Year's Eve dinner. Amid the curling smoke, laughter and the aroma of food intertwined to create a heartwarming picture.

Xiaobao, on the other hand, followed his uncle and a group of cousins, excitedly participating in the traditional rituals of pasting Spring Festival couplets and worshiping ancestors, his little face filled with innocent happiness.

Xu Xiufang held the sleeping Xiaoyun in her arms, and sat in the warm main room with Xie's mother and other female relatives. The fire shone on everyone's face, casting a soft glow.

While enjoying the warmth brought by the charcoal fire, they chatted and laughed, creating a happy scene.

However, beneath this harmonious appearance, there were subtle waves hidden - Gu Xiaoling was criticizing Xie Laosan with sarcastic words. Although her voice was low, it was like a sharp needle that pierced the tranquility of the festival.

Gu Xiaoling saw Xie Yi and Li Dabing, father and son, busying around with the children, while Xu Xiufang and the other female relatives seemed leisurely and contented, and she couldn't help feeling sad.

In contrast, she personally took care of everything, while Xie Laosan always stayed out of it. This sharp contrast made her dissatisfaction grow like weeds.

Her criticism was nothing more than an attempt to upset Xu Xiufang and the others in front of everyone, and her words did work. Those sharp words were like a cold wind that penetrated the festive joy and filled the air with an imperceptible chill.

Faced with Gu Xiaoling's unreasonable behavior, Xie's mother's face darkened instantly, and her tone was full of unquestionable majesty: "If you have something to say, go out and say it! Do you know that this will affect other people's mood?"

"What, I still can't say anything?"

Gu Xiaoling's anger was instantly ignited. She had long since disregarded Xie's mother's status as a mother-in-law. The years of conflict between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law broke out at this moment. "As a mother, you don't discipline your son, but instead interfere with me teaching my own man a lesson?"

"Be quiet! Do you think this house is too quiet?"

Xie Lao San, who had been holding back, finally exploded in the endless quarrel and shouted at Gu Xiaoling, "Don't embarrass yourself here, just go do your job!"

"You told me to shut up?"

Gu Xiaoling's voice was filled with disbelief. "You are lazy and greedy, and you still have the nerve to tell me to shut up? Your mother accused me of nothing, and you want me to swallow my anger? Xie Lao San, where is your heart?"

"You say I have no conscience? If it weren't for you, would my relationship with my parents be so strained? Isn't it you who caused me to become what I am today?"

Xie Laosan's anger was like a volcano that had been suppressed for a long time, and it finally found an outlet for venting.

Although he is not very hardworking by nature, he at least took on the responsibilities of a husband after marriage.

However, since he had a fierce conflict with his parents two years ago in order to protect Gu Xiaoling and broke their hearts, the relationship between them has become increasingly distant.

Especially last year, he believed Gu Xiaoling's words about food shortage at home and did not send food to his parents as usual, thinking that his parents would understand his difficulties.

Little did they know that this behavior completely severed the emotional bond between them and their parents, making the two sides almost no longer in contact.

Seeing his once loving parents becoming more and more unfamiliar and indifferent because of his own choices, Xie Laosan's heart felt as if it was cut by a sharp knife and he was in excruciating pain.

Later, because of a dispute with Zhou Qifeng and Jiang Wanrou, he lost their help, and the burden of living for a family of six fell almost entirely on his shoulders.

For him, who grew up in a greenhouse, such pressure is undoubtedly unbearable.
