The Fat Wife of the 1980s Awakens

Xu Xiufang smiled gently and cleverly changed the subject: "Mom, drink the soup quickly. It won't taste good if it gets cold."

Xie's mother picked up the bowl of soup and was speechless for a moment. A trace of frustration flashed across her wrinkled face. In the end, she could only take two sips of the soup, but in her mind she was quickly thinking about how to use Xu Xiufang's power to make the marriage between Feng Dongling and Xie Chunyan come true.

After thinking about it, Xie's mother suddenly had an idea, and a dusty memory was awakened - sometime last year, when she came to visit, she inadvertently caught a glimpse of Xu Xiufang writing at her desk, with two pieces of letter paper spread out on the table.

When she asked casually, Xu Xiufang just said casually that it was prepared for her sister-in-law.

However, Xie's mother clearly remembered that when she was chatting with Xu Xiufang's mother, she mentioned that her eldest son was still single and always kept a distance from the opposite sex because of the hurt from his old relationship...

Since the eldest son is unmarried, where does the so-called "sister-in-law" come from?

This question was like a seed that took root and sprouted in Xie's mother's heart. Although Xu Xiufang's words were simple and direct, she could smell a hint of something unusual from them.

The thought flashed through her mind, and Xie's mother's eyes became sharp. She rubbed her hands unconsciously and spoke nervously, "Second daughter-in-law~"

Xu Xiufang raised her head, her eyes still clear as water: "Mom, what's the matter?"

"Can you help me call Chunyan?"

Xie's mother's voice was full of kindness. Taking Chunyan's mood into consideration, she thought that if she came forward, the effect might not be good, but if Xu Xiufang went, Chunyan should not refuse.

Thinking of this, Xie's mother felt a little bitter. As a mother, her words didn't carry as much weight as her sister-in-law's in front of her daughter.

Xu Xiufang raised her eyebrows slightly, as if she saw through the subtleties in this family drama. Those bystanders who pushed the development of the plot, could it be that Xie's mother was the driving force behind the scenes?

Since she was invited, Xu Xiufang naturally would not refuse. She smiled slightly and gladly accepted the task.

At the same time, Xie's mother walked out the door with a bowl of steaming soup, where Feng Dongling was having a great time playing with Xiaobao.

Seeing Xie's mother, Feng Dongling quickly stood up and respectfully took the bowl of soup.

"Dongling, my second son's wife is an excellent cook. This soup is her masterpiece. It is extremely delicious. Come and try it."

Xie's mother's words were full of pride and enthusiasm.

"Sister-in-law's cooking skills are naturally top-notch."

Feng Dongling responded politely, but under Xie's mother's eager gaze, he reluctantly took a sip of the soup.

Noticing that Xie's mother's eyes had not moved away, he quickly added, "It smells so good!"

"Then drink more."

Xie's mother gave the order and at the same time signaled Xiaobao to leave temporarily so that they could have a more private conversation space.

Because of Xie Chunyan's matter, Feng Dongling's usual eloquence seemed a little clumsy at this moment. He could only lower his head and taste the soup silently, trying to hide his inner turmoil.

Xie's mother was good at talking about family matters. After a while of chatting, Feng Dongling gradually relaxed. At this time, Xie's mother changed the subject: "Dongling, you and Chunyan..."

"Aunt, Chunyan and I..."

Feng Dongling's thoughts drifted back to the moment he was rejected a month ago, and his heart still ached.

After more than two years of pursuit, she always declined with various reasons, but he always believed that as long as he persisted, he would be able to win her heart one day.

But this time, she begged him to let go!

Although Feng Dongling was thick-skinned, even he could not force it in the face of such a resolute attitude.

He wanted to call her Chunyan, but when the words came to his lips, he changed them to: "Aunt, Brother Yi and I are brothers, so Sister Chunyan is naturally my sister!"

This sentence means that there is no possibility between him and Xie Chunyan.

When Xie's mother heard this, although she had expected it, she still pretended to be regretful on the surface, and her eyes inadvertently glanced outside the door, as if looking for something.

Then, she laughed again: "Dongling, you are a good boy, and Chunyan is not lucky enough to have you. But there are many good aunts in this world. I have met many matchmakers recently. Do you want me to introduce you to one?"

Feng Dongling smiled bitterly, looking somewhat helpless: "Auntie, there's really no need, I..."

"Hey, oh," Feng Dongling hadn't finished speaking when Aunt Xie slapped her thigh suddenly, as if she had remembered something important. "I remember now, my mother has a niece who is also looking for a partner recently. She is younger than you, but very hardworking and pretty. She graduated from high school and now works in the county. Oh! What a good aunt!"

There was an unquestionable enthusiasm in Aunt Xie's voice, and her eyes sparkled with the shrewdness and enthusiasm unique to a matchmaker, as if she had foreseen the bright future of Feng Dongling and her niece.

"That's perfect. I'll build a bridge for you guys to meet and see each other someday."

Her words were full of anticipation, as if they were about to lead to a happy marriage.

Feng Dongling was speechless for a moment when he heard this, and a trace of helplessness and embarrassment flashed across his brows.

"..."

He hesitated to speak, and finally tried to refuse politely: "Auntie, it's really not necessary, I..."

"Oh, okay!"

Aunt Xie put on a resolute look, gently patted her thighs with her hands, her eyes full of determination.

"Dongling, Auntie thinks you are reliable, otherwise why would I lead my niece to you?"

Her tone was sincere and enthusiastic, as if she was considering everything for Feng Dongling. "Don't worry, I will never do anything that would cheat you. Times are different now. I'm not forcing you to get married right away. I just want you to meet and talk. If you get along, then go for it. If not, forget it."

Aunt Xie's words revealed a sophistication and thoughtfulness that was hard to refuse.

As she spoke, Aunt Xie's eyes revealed a bit of heartache. She looked at Feng Dongling as if she was looking at her own child.

"You are about the same age as my son Xie Yi. Xie Yi has already started a family and established a career, but you are still single and have no relatives around you. It really makes me feel bad."

There were some sighs in her words, as if she really felt sorry for Feng Dongling's single life, "Auntie really likes you and loves you, so just give me some face and go meet him, okay?"

Her voice is gentle and sincere, making it hard to refuse the care from an elder.

Feng Dongling wanted to refuse again, but the corner of his eye inadvertently caught a subtle change in the figure at the door. His heart skipped a beat, and suddenly, the words of refusal were stuck in his throat.

He was stunned for a moment, then nodded slowly, with a barely perceptible sense of relief in his voice: "Then please trouble Auntie to arrange it!"

"to make!"

Aunt Xie was secretly happy in her heart, but she showed no expression on the surface. However, her eyes unconsciously glanced towards the door, as if she was waiting for something.

At the door, Xu Xiufang and Xie Chunyan were standing quietly, and they heard Aunt Xie's words clearly.

Xu Xiufang observed Xie Chunyan out of the corner of her eye. When she heard the news that Feng Dongling had agreed to a blind date, Xie Chunyan's face turned pale in an instant. She showed a loss and panic that was difficult to conceal.

Xu Xiufang secretly sighed in her heart and turned her gaze to Aunt Xie. Aunt Xie noticed her gaze and gave her a smug look, as if to show off the success of her plan.
