The Fat Wife of the 1980s Awakens

Gradually, he began to rebel and became less and less willing to take on housework and work.

He used to earn 80 cents a day, but now he is satisfied with 60 cents. He even often uses the excuse of resting at home to escape reality.

As a result, the food distributed this year was not enough for the family's food rations, so they had to spend extra money to buy more food. As a result, their wallets became increasingly empty and their lives became increasingly difficult.

Xie Laosan's inner irritability grew day by day. He did not think he had done anything wrong. In his opinion, all the misfortunes were caused by Gu Xiaoling. His hatred for her spread like wildfire, getting more and more intense.

"You still say it's my fault? Xie Lao San, I've sacrificed so much for you, and you can actually say such a thing!"

Gu Xiaoling's emotions were completely out of control. She pointed at Xie's mother with a trembling finger, "You and your parents have a falling out. Can you blame me for that? It's obviously your parents who looked down on us for being poor and wanted to get rid of us..."

Hearing this, Xie's mother's face turned pale and her lips trembled. She didn't finish her words, "Gu Xiaoling, you..."

Like icicles, frozen in the cold air, it indicates that a bigger storm is coming.

"Snapped!"

The air seemed to freeze at this moment. Xie Laosan flashed and attacked like a cheetah. A loud slap broke the quiet afternoon and hit Gu Xiaoling's cheek.

The force was so strong that Gu Xiaoling's hair flew and her head tilted to one side involuntarily. The aftershocks of the slap seemed to still linger in her hair.

"If I hear you trying to sow discord between me and my parents again, we'll..."

Xie Laosan's words were like ice, every word was loud and clear, and finally stopped at the word "divorce". These two words were like heavy hammers, hitting Gu Xiaoling's heart hard.

His face was as cold as iron, and there was no hesitation in his eyes, only determination.

Gu Xiaoling's rebuttal was stuck in her throat. Those two words were like a sharp dagger, nailing her to the spot. Shock and disbelief intertwined in her eyes, as if she was looking at a stranger.

Xie Laosan just glanced at her coldly without saying anything more. As he turned around, the door was slammed shut with a deafening noise, as if it was the final verdict on the breakdown of this relationship.

With the departure of Xie Laosan, Gu Xiaoling's depression suddenly erupted. A sharp scream pierced the sky. She collapsed powerlessly on the cold ground, tears flowing like a flood.

"Why am I so miserable?"

Her crying was mixed with endless grievances and unwillingness. What she got in return for her efforts for her family and sacrifice for love was misunderstanding and betrayal. She felt unprecedented loneliness and despair.

Mother Xie's brows were furrowed. Facing this out-of-control situation, she seemed a little annoyed. "Stop howling!"

This rebuke not only failed to stop Gu Xiaoling's crying, but instead it was like a stone that caused a thousand ripples, making her emotions even more broken and her crying even more miserable.

Xu Xiufang was upset by the incessant crying, and Xiaoyun in her arms was also infected by the atmosphere. She pouted her little mouth and was about to join the "chorus".

She patted Xiaoyun's back, trying to comfort her, but the little one obviously didn't buy it. She simply lay on her shoulder, whining, and looked very dissatisfied.

Xu Xiufang's face darkened and she shot a sharp look at Gu Xiaoling, which seemed to be able to penetrate people's hearts.

Under such a gaze, Gu Xiaoling not only did not restrain herself, but cried even harder, as if she was showing her helplessness and pain to Xu Xiufang.

However, Xu Xiufang just sneered, holding Xiaoyun and resolutely left the old house full of disputes.

Gu Xiaoling looked at her back and felt a sense of revenge in her heart, as if she had found a glimmer of victory in this silent war.

But this pride did not last long, as Xu Xiufang's sudden return caught Gu Xiaoling off guard.

Just as she was wondering, a big dog named Xiaole appeared behind Xu Xiufang. Its eyes were as sharp as torches, and it licked its tongue lightly, making an excited "woof" sound, and then pounced on Gu Xiaoling like an arrow.

"Ouch!"

Gu Xiaoling's screams were filled with terror. She almost instinctively crawled away. Fear drove her legs, as if they were greased, and she rushed back into the house quickly. The door slammed shut behind her. With a click, the chain fell off. Her panic and helplessness were revealed in her smooth movements.

Outside the door, Xiaole barked twice at the closed door. There seemed to be a hint of mockery in his voice, as if he was laughing at Gu Xiaoling's embarrassment.

"Guard the door. If she calls again, wait for her to come out and then you can go."

Xu Xiufang gave the order calmly, Xiaole responded obediently, and then squatted steadily in front of the door, like a loyal guardian, his posture was majestic and firm.

Gu Xiaoling, who was behind the door, no longer dared to make any sound, and even dared not to peek through the crack in the door.

Her two daughters, Chunhua and Chunfeng, looked at each other with fear and anxiety in their eyes. They occasionally stole a glance at Xu Xiufang and Xiaole, but ultimately did not dare to ask about dinner.

They know very well that in such an atmosphere, any action may trigger a new storm.

In the kitchen, the pots and pans lay quietly in their original places, and no one dared to touch them easily, for fear that one careless move would become a new fuse.

As night fell, everything in the house seemed shrouded in a heavy silence.

Xu Xiufang brought Xiaoyun back to the warm main room. The little one had stopped crying in her mother's arms and was concentrating on playing with her toy doll. Her innocence and happiness seemed like a ray of sunshine in the gloom.

Xu Xiufang's gentle interaction with Xiaoyun and the heartwarming scene between mother and daughter brought a rare sense of peace and harmony to this family.

Not far away, Qin Yunli's son Shitou looked at the toy in Xiaoyun's hand with envy, his eager eyes full of childish innocence.

But in such an atmosphere, even Qin Yunli did not dare to break the balance easily. She could only watch silently with mixed feelings in her heart.

Having experienced many of Xu Xiufang's ridiculous "deeds", Qin Yunli had already built a wall of awe in her heart, so that when facing Xu Xiufang, even the most basic inquiries became difficult for her to ask.

What's more, there are still some unresolved "grievances" between the two of them, which makes Qin Yunli even more cautious, fearing that if she is not careful, she will touch the reverse scale of her sister-in-law, who she privately thinks has a bad temper.

So, she bent down and said gently to the stone in her arms: "Shitou, that is your sister's toy. Mom knows you like it very much, but we can't take your sister's things. Mom promises you that next time I go to the market, I will buy you a more fun one, okay?"

Her voice was full of love, but also revealed a hint of helplessness.

"No!"

There was stubbornness in Shitou's childish voice. His big round eyes quickly filled with tears. His little mouth pouted and he burst into tears with a "wow". His little hand still stubbornly pointed at the toy in Xiaoyun's hand, insisting on getting it.
