The Fat Wife of the 1980s Awakens

Xie Chunyan was full of doubts. She vaguely caught the word "your wife" mentioned by her mother. After a little thought, she realized that it was referring to her second brother's wife, Xu Xiufang.

Upon learning that the conversation was related to Xu Xiufang, she hurriedly placed the items in her hand by the door and followed closely.

"Second brother, you have to pay attention to your wife."

Mother Xie was unaware of Xie Chunyan behind her, and gave Xie Yi earnest instructions.

Xie Yi frowned, looking confused: "Mom, what do you mean?"

Seeing her son's bewildered face, Xie's mother was extremely anxious: "Don't you know? Many teachers have returned to the city recently!"

Xie Yi's brows knitted even tighter, and the uneasiness in his heart quietly spread.

Mother Xie continued, "Many teachers despise the poverty of our countryside and dream of returning to the embrace of the city. When the list was announced, they were all overjoyed. Your wife is also a teacher and comes from a wealthy family. I don't know why she came to us. It was okay in the past, after all, there was no certainty about returning to the city, but now the situation is different. It is said that teachers will be gradually recalled to the city. Given your wife's conditions, do you think she will be willing to stay here and live such a dull life?"

Before Xie Yi could respond, Xie Chunyan couldn't wait to interrupt: "Mom, my second brother's wife is not that kind of person. She loves my second brother, Sanbao, and Xiaoyun very much. Even if she has the chance to go back to the city, she will never abandon them!"

This sudden interruption startled Xie's mother, who mistakenly thought it was Xu Xiufang. When she turned around and found it was Xie Chunyan, she was relieved, but she still couldn't help but blame: "I'm talking to your second brother, you go back first."

Xie's mother knew clearly that Xie Chunyan's relationship with the second brother's family was becoming increasingly close, even surpassing her own.

If she heard these words, they would probably reach the ears of the second brother in no time.

"Mom," Xie Chunyan stood firmly in place, her eyes firm, and reiterated: "Don't make random guesses, my second brother's wife is really not the kind of person you think!"

Her words revealed unquestionable conviction, trying to calm her mother's anxiety.

"What do you know?"

Mother Xie's attention was drawn to her daughter's words. She temporarily put aside the idea of ​​urging her to leave and started arguing with her: "Your second sister-in-law may have changed for the better now, but have you forgotten her indifferent attitude towards Sanbao and Xiaoyun before?"

There was a hint of helplessness and worry in Xie's mother's voice; the past was like a heavy stone weighing on her heart.

Xie Chunyan was speechless for a moment. Although she firmly believed in her heart that Xu Xiufang was now deeply rooted in this family and would never abandon Xie Yi and the children because of the temptation of city life, the cold facts of the past were also historical traces that could not be erased!

Seeing Xie Chunyan remain silent, Xie's mother's anxiety became more intense. She hoped that her worries were unnecessary.

"I'm not looking for trouble," Xie's mother said with a bitter look on her face. "She has lived in the countryside for so long. If she hadn't become a member of our family, she should have been on the list of people who would return to the city long ago according to her conditions. Today, Cheng Panhua came here to show off that she would be able to return to the city soon. If it were you, would you be able to balance your mind? I asked her a few questions casually, and her words were full of longing for home and longing for her parents. Isn't it obvious that she wants to return to the city?"

Xie's mother's words are full of insight into the ways of the world and deep concern for the future.

If Xie Yi were to be in this situation in the past, he might have been worried about whether his wife would choose to leave. However, after learning the secret that his wife gave up everything just to be with him, his heart has become unusually determined.

How could a woman who once gave up all the prosperity for love easily betray because of the temptation of the city?

However, when he thought about his wife being separated from her elderly parents, his heart was filled with unspeakable guilt.

He began to silently figure out how to find a win-win solution between his deep affection for his wife and realistic considerations.

In the eyes of Xie's mother, even Xie Yi, who had always been free and unrestrained, began to worry that his wife might leave him, which undoubtedly exacerbated her worries.

Given Xie Yi's cynicism in his youth, if he had not met Xu Xiufang, he might still be wandering today.

The appearance of Xu Xiufang seemed to be the stabilizing force in his life.

What if, what if Xu Xiufang really filed for a divorce and chose to return to the city...

Mother Xie did not dare to think further. How could the young Sanbao and Xiaoyun grow up without the warm embrace and careful care of their mother? However, facing such a predicament, Mother Xie felt unprecedented powerlessness and mixed feelings.

If Xu Xiufang had not voluntarily come to this small village, given their family's conditions, it would have been a pipe dream to marry such a virtuous wife and mother.

She knew very well that if Xu Xiufang really decided to leave, their family would not be able to keep her no matter what.

Xie Yi felt the complicated look from his mother, which contained both sympathy and helplessness. Without further ado, he already understood the worries in his mother's heart.

He rubbed his brows gently and said firmly, "Mom, don't worry, my wife won't abandon me and the children. Don't worry about this matter. I will have a good talk with her!"

Xie's mother was still worried and reminded her again and again: "Then you must explain it to her clearly, tell her that you will treat her well, give her all the money you earn to manage, and let her listen to all the big and small matters at home. Let her know that if she misses a good man like you, she will never find a better one in the future! Besides, Sanbao and Xiaoyun are so sensible, they will definitely be filial to her in the future. If she leaves, the children will be so sad! As for me and your father, as long as she is willing to stay, we will definitely treat her as our own daughter, and we will support her any wishes! Oh, by the way, I know she doesn't like Gu Xiaoling from the third brother's family, just tell her that I don't like Gu Xiaoling either. If they have any conflicts in the future, I will definitely stand on her side..."

Xie's mother used almost every possible reason to try to keep Xu Xiufang in this family, and it seemed as if Xu Xiufang would pack up and leave at any time.

Hearing this, Xie Yi simply responded: "Mom, things are not as complicated as you think."

He usually maintained a distant and cold attitude towards people other than his wife and children, and Xie's mother had long been accustomed to this. But at this moment, she mistakenly thought that Xie Yi was unhappy because he touched on some sensitive topics, so she didn't dare to say anything more, and said carefully: "As long as it's not a big deal, I won't say anything more. You just got off work, go back and rest!"

"it is good."

Xie Yi simply responded.

He had followed the truck to a nearby city last night and was indeed feeling a little tired, so he strode away without saying anything more.

Xie Chunyan never believed that Xu Xiufang would abandon Xie Yi and Sanbao Xiaoyun in order to return to the city, so she did not think this was a problem worth worrying about.

Seeing Xie Yi leaving, she was about to catch up to find Xu Xiufang, but unexpectedly, Xie's mother grabbed her arm and asked, "Where are you going?"
