The Fat Wife of the 1980s Awakens

However, this time, Xie Chunyan did not try to cheer her mother up as usual, but returned to her room with a gloomy look on her face.

"Could this child be possessed by evil spirits?"

Xie's mother frowned, her heart full of worry, and hurried over to check, only to see Xie Chunyan sitting on the kang with empty eyes.

Xie's mother became even more worried. What kind of injustice had her daughter suffered?

But in this family, who could make Xie Chunyan so sad?

My thoughts drifted back to Xie Chunyan's whereabouts just now - she went next door, and next door was the home of the second son Xie Yi.

Could all this be related to the second brother’s family?

Thinking of this, Xie's mother felt even more uneasy. She hurried to the next door, wondering if Xie Chunyan had said something inappropriate or done something to annoy the second family, causing her to be treated coldly. Xie's mother kept thinking of Xu Xiufang's possible angry expression and possible reaction, and she felt anxious.

On the other hand, Xu Xiufang noticed the subtle connection between Feng Dongling's appearance and Xie Chunyan's departure.

Feng Dongling seemed calm on the surface, but when Xie Chunyan passed by, his eyes followed her quietly for a moment, then quickly retracted his gaze, with a self-deprecating smile on the corner of his mouth.

Xu Xiufang raised her eyebrows. This scene was just like a common scene in TV dramas - the heroine struggled internally with the thought "I love you but I am not worthy of you", while the hero misunderstood it as "I love you but you have no interest in me".

Thinking of this, Xu Xiufang couldn't help but laugh at her own associations. This kind of plot often foreshadows a happy ending!

"daughter in law?"

Xie Yi noticed that his wife was looking at Feng Dongling and smiling, with a hint of inquiry in her tone.

Xu Xiufang looked up and happened to catch the subtle look that Xie Yi cast towards Feng Dongling, which seemed to contain a hint of subtle jealousy.

Feng Dongling felt a chill running down his back and muttered to himself.

"Are you jealous?"

Xu Xiufang patted Xie Yi's arm in a coquettish manner, teasing this jealous man.

Xie Yi narrowed his eyes, thinking in his mind... while Xu Xiufang waved her hands and smiled helplessly: "Oh, you think too much, that matter has nothing to do with this!"

The eye contact between the two lasted for a long time, the atmosphere was subtle and interesting.

Feng Dongling was standing aside, feeling mixed emotions. He could only silently draw circles in his mind, feeling like an outsider.

Could it be that his emotional entanglement, which had ended before it even began, was so insignificant in their eyes? No, it had never begun, so how could it end?

In the end, it was Xie Yi who softened his attitude first. Xu Xiufang raised her eyebrows proudly and asked with concern, "Are you cold? I made some bone and radish soup. I'll give you a bowl. How about warming yourself up?"

"Okay," Xie Yi enjoyed the care from his wife and felt warm in his heart.

"Old Feng, you should have a bowl too," Xu Xiufang invited Feng Dongling enthusiastically, "It tastes really good."

"Then I'll be welcome. Thank you, sister-in-law."

Feng Dongling thanked him quickly, feeling a warm feeling in his heart.

At this moment, Xie's mother's hurried voice came: "The second son's family!"

Xu Xiufang was just about to serve them some soup when she turned around and saw Xie's mother trotting towards them, looking quite anxious.

"Mom, please slow down," Xu Xiufang asked hurriedly, "Is there something urgent?"

"Is Chunyan..."

Mother Xie was about to say something, but when she saw that Xu Xiufang didn't look unhappy, she swallowed her words and changed the subject to ask, "Didn't the elder sister-in-law just go home? She didn't go home?"

Xu Xiufang looked confused, thinking that Xie's mother was here to look for Xie Chunyan, "She didn't go home?"

When Feng Dongling heard this, his eyes immediately tensed up and were filled with worry. He had long noticed that something was wrong with Xie Chunyan. Could something really have happened?

"Yes, yes," Xie's mother hesitated for a moment, then finally spoke, "I just think she's not in a good mood."

Hearing this, Xu Xiufang unconsciously glanced at Feng Dongling.

Mother Xie followed her gaze and saw that Feng Dongling's face was full of disappointment. She immediately understood about 70% of the situation.

As someone who has experienced this, Xie's mother naturally understood these emotional entanglements and couldn't help but chuckle.

"I'll go see her later," Xu Xiufang said, "Mom, can I serve you a bowl of this soup, too?"

"Okay," Xie's mother smiled brightly, her mouth almost reaching her ears, her eyes narrowed into slits with joy, and her wrinkled eyes revealed a joy that was hard to conceal.

"Why doesn't Dad come over?"

As Xu Xiufang asked, she glanced across the dining table out of the corner of her eye, as if looking for that familiar figure.

"He's not hungry, don't bother with him," Xie's mother waved her hand casually, with a hint of helplessness and doting in her tone, as if she was already accustomed to such situations.

Upon hearing this, Xu Xiufang nodded slightly to show her understanding, then turned lightly and walked briskly to the kitchen, ready to serve bowls of steaming hot soup for everyone. Her movements were skillful and graceful, and every step revealed her familiarity and love for this home.

Seeing this, Feng Dongling politely nodded and greeted Xie's mother, but he couldn't hide a hint of embarrassment in his expression, as if he was touched by the warm atmosphere of this family, or perhaps he felt uneasy because of his own inner secret.

Xie's mother immediately responded enthusiastically. Her smile was like the spring sun, warm and kind. This made Feng Dongling even more at a loss. The expression on his face became complicated, with both emotion and a bit of evasion.

Xie Yi seemed to be blind to all this. He wanted to go forward to help, but found that his mother was quietly following Xu Xiufang with flickering eyes, as if hiding some secret.

So he picked up a bowl of soup and decided to find his daughter and give her a surprise.

"The second son's family," Xie's mother lowered her voice, her eyes flashing with cunning light, as if she was planning something, "Are Chunyan and Feng Dongling..."

Xu Xiufang's eyes flashed with understanding when she heard this, but she just smiled faintly and replied: "I'm not sure either."

Although she had a vague idea in her heart, it was just an unconfirmed guess after all, so she did not ask Xie's mother about it further.

Xie's mother stared at Xu Xiufang, her eyes seemed to see through everything, her face full of disbelief, as if waiting for more explanations.

Xu Xiufang raised her head, her eyes clear and frank, with an attitude of "it's up to you whether you believe it or not", neither making excuses nor forcing things.

Seeing this, Xie's mother did not give up. She knew that Xu Xiufang was very smart and had a close relationship with Chunyan. At the same time, she was not afraid of Xie Yi. If she could win over Xu Xiufang to become her ally, then it would be even more helpful to facilitate the good things between Feng Dongling and Xie Chunyan.

"You can't help but see it," Xie's mother insisted, with a hint of urgency in her tone.

"What can I see?"

Xu Xiufang asked back, her tone relaxed, as if she really knew nothing about it.

"Second brother, you are so smart, don't pretend to be confused," Xie's mother said firmly, as if she was sure that Xu Xiufang knew what was going on. "You must know what is going on."
