The Fat Wife of the 1980s Awakens

"When did your mother stop being awesome?"

Xie Yi raised his eyebrows and asked back, his words full of pride.

“Always awesome!”

Erbao was surprisingly smart this time and did not let down at the critical moment. All of this naturally came from his deep sense of identity.

"Mom, I want to learn from you too!"

Xiaobao came closer, his eyes twinkling like stars.

Xiaoyun even hugged her mother's legs directly, and her small body conveyed great attachment.

Although Dabao didn't say much, the proud expression on his face when he looked at his mother was enough to explain everything.

Mother Xie, who was "forgotten" by this warm scene, found her voice after a while: "..."

Afraid that she would be excluded from this joy, she quickly said loudly: "Xiufang, you are the best!"

"Second brother, Dad also thinks you are very amazing."

Even Mr. Xie, who was usually a man of few words, was infected by the joy and excitedly joined in the congratulations.

Xu Xiufang could only respond with a smile, with a warm feeling in her heart.

Three generations of a family stood in front of the door, with laughter and cheers intertwined, and the happy scene was moving.

At this time, Gu Xiaoling, who lived nearby, was anxiously waiting for the return of Zhou Qifeng and Gu Tingting. She accidentally heard the celebration of the Xie family, and learned about Dabao's impressive achievements and the good news that Xu Xiufang won the top prize. The jealousy in her heart spread like wildfire and almost suffocated her.

Anxiety is like a vine entwined in my heart. How are Zhou Qifeng and Gu Tingting's grades?

It turned out that Zhou Qifeng and Gu Tingting also set out early this morning to check the results.

In order to get closer to them, Gu Xiaoling humbly offered to help, but was politely rejected.

Despite this, she did not give up.

As Gu Tingting's biological sister, she firmly believed that based on the care she had given her sister in the past, Gu Tingting's family would never exclude her and enjoy the fruits of success alone.

At this moment, Zhou Qifeng and Gu Tingting slowly stepped into view from a distance. Gu Xiaoling could not wait to meet them, not noticing the gloomy look on their faces at all. She asked impatiently, "Tingting, how did you do in the exam? There must be no problem, right?"

His words were full of concern and expectation, but there was an unknown uneasiness in his heart.

Then, her eyes moved and turned to Zhou Qifeng with a bit of scrutiny.

Compared to the gentle Gu Tingting, she always felt that Zhou Qifeng and the talented Xu Xiufang were from the same hometown. Since Xu Xiufang was able to win the first prize and become the top scorer, Zhou Qifeng's results would not be inferior. So, she had even greater expectations for Zhou Qifeng: "Brother-in-law, how are your results? Jingshi University should have already beckoned to you, right?"

These words not only contained a question, but also a hint of expectation that was difficult to conceal.

On Zhou Qifeng and Gu Tingting's faces, unconcealable emotions quietly overflowed like the tide, a complex look intertwined, awkward but polite.

"What does it have to do with you whether I do well in the exam or not?"

Gu Tingting's voice was cold, like unmelted ice in early spring, sharply cutting through the delicate atmosphere at the scene, "Get out of the way, don't block the road."

"Oh, girl, how can you say that?"

Gu Xiaoling pretended to be hurt, her eyes full of "innocence". She shook her head slightly, trying to use family affection as a shield to block all doubts, "It's really unruly, sister is doing this for your own good, she cares about you!"

"You care about me?"

Gu Tingting's words were mixed with sarcasm and coldness, as sharp as a needle. "When I was at my lowest point in life and needed help the most, where did you hide? At that time, you were afraid of being infected by my bad luck, and you avoided me as much as possible."

Faced with Gu Tingting's sharp accusations, Gu Xiaoling was suddenly speechless and secretly cursed Gu Tingting in her heart for being too vindictive.

However, she reacted quickly, and adjusted her mood in almost an instant, putting on a pure and harmless look: "Sister, what you said really hurts my heart. We are sisters, how could I not want to be close to you? But you also understand that the people in the old Xie family have always disliked you. My position in the Xie family is already precarious. They look down on me, and your brother-in-law's patience with me is getting less and less..."

At this point, her voice began to tremble slightly, tears welled up in her eyes, and finally slid down her cheeks, "How could I dare to lend a helping hand easily? If I really helped you, I'm afraid they would use this as an excuse to divorce me! Then, what will happen to Tiezhu and the other children? I really have a lot of suffering! But now I have figured it out, the children are all grown up, I don't have to be so careful. Even if we really get divorced, we are sisters by blood, and no one can replace your place in my sister's heart."

Gu Xiaoling's tears were like pearls that had broken off the string, and she looked like a pear blossom in the rain. If others had seen her, they would probably have felt pity for her.

But Gu Tingting just stared at her with a cold gaze, her tone full of disdain: "Do you think I will believe your words?"

"you!"

Gu Xiaoling never expected that Gu Tingting would be so stubborn, and anger rose in her heart.

In her opinion, one of Gu Tingting and Zhou Qifeng must be about to enter university, and they are afraid that they will become a stumbling block, so they are so heartless.

"Gu Tingting, now that you've been admitted to university and have a bright future, you just want to disown me, right? Have you forgotten who worked so hard to raise you? Without me, you wouldn't have everything you have today."

Gu Xiaoling's words were filled with resentment and unwillingness.

"Gu Xiaoling!"

Gu Tingting's anger was beyond words. Over the years, Gu Xiaoling had always used these past events as a threat, which made her feel fed up.

Just as Gu Xiaoling was about to continue her "performance", Gu Tingting suddenly changed the subject, her tone more resolute and unquestionable: "Okay, then let's reconcile. Sister, there is no water at home, can you help carry two buckets of water back?"

When Gu Xiaoling heard this, a smile immediately appeared on her face and she was secretly delighted.

How could she not understand that Gu Tingting's move was most likely to take this opportunity to teach her a lesson, but this was exactly the opportunity she had been waiting for. This way, the connection between them would only become closer and could never be severed.

"Of course, I'll go right away."

After saying that, Gu Xiaoling excitedly picked up the bucket.

Zhou Qifeng looked at Gu Xiaoling's figure walking away, feeling a little uneasy: "Wife, is this appropriate..."

"Isn't she happy about it?"

Gu Tingting's face was pale, but her eyes were extremely firm, as if she had her own considerations for this arrangement.

Seeing this, Zhou Qifeng had no choice but to give up and say no more.

The couple turned around to go home, and their eyes unconsciously turned to Xu Xiufang's family not far away, especially Xu Xiufang, whose eyes were complex and deep.
