The Fat Wife of the 1980s Awakens

Mother Xie frowned, anxious like an ant on a hot pot, pacing around the house, muttering to herself: "What should I do? What should I do?"

Her voice was full of helplessness and worry, a mother's endless concern for her child.

What should I do? This question was like a stone thrown into Xu Xiufang's heart, causing ripples.

Her eyes moved slightly, as if some idea flashed through her mind, but when she was about to blurt it out, she hesitated and swallowed it back.

Xie Yi was straightforward and never liked beating around the bush. He said bluntly, "Sister, I'm afraid we have to think carefully about this pregnancy. Perhaps... having an abortion would be a safer option."

"Take it away?"

Upon hearing this, Xie's mother was so shocked that she could hardly speak, her lips trembling slightly, "This... How can this be..."

In the concept of the older generation, "our body and hair are given by our parents", every life is a precious gift, how can we give it up easily?

What's more, this may be Xie Chunyan's only chance to become a mother. If this really happens, how painful Xie Chunyan's heart will be!

However, if this is not done, Xie Chunyan's life safety will be a concern.

Xie's mother's eyes were full of struggle, and her voice was a little hesitant: "Is there really no other solution?"

"It's better to be safe than sorry. Don't take any risks."

There was an unignorable heaviness in Xie Yi's words, as if he also felt the pain of the difficult decision.

Feng Dongling stood aside, looking at Xie Chunyan's belly which was getting bigger and bigger due to pregnancy, feeling mixed emotions.

The joy of learning that I was going to be a father had not yet fully blossomed when it was instantly overshadowed by this sudden change.

The change was so fast that he found it difficult to digest it for a while, but when he imagined what would happen if the child was born in the future and Xie Chunyan met with an accident as a result, his heart felt like it was hit by a sledgehammer and everything went blank.

Thinking of this, he looked deeply into Xie Chunyan's eyes with a firm gaze, and said in a low and resolute voice: "Wife..."

Xie Chunyan understood what he meant, and tears welled up in her eyes, but she shook her head firmly, her hands unconsciously protecting her bulging belly: "No, no, they are my flesh and blood, a part of my life, I can't just give up on them like this."

"But your safety..."

Feng Dongling's voice was a little choked, and his eyes turned red, filled with heartache and reluctance.

"I'm not afraid," Xie Chunyan shook her head vigorously, her eyes flashing with maternal determination and light, "Besides, the risk may not necessarily happen, right? They are our little babies, no matter what, I will protect them."

Xu Xiufang sighed softly. She had anticipated Xie Chunyan's insistence, so she hesitated whether she should make that suggestion.

After Xie Chunyan expressed her firm attitude to Feng Dongling, she repeatedly emphasized to Xie Yi that she would never give up the child, and tried every possible way to convince Xie Yi to understand and support her.

Xie Yi knows very well that as a younger brother, the final decision on the child lies in the hands of his sister Xie Chunyan and brother-in-law Feng Dongling. He can only make suggestions but cannot influence the outcome.

He was silent for a moment, and finally chose to respect Xie Chunyan's wishes.

At this time, Xu Xiufang said, "Sister, if you have made up your mind, it would be best to quit your current job and move to a place near the hospital in the city. This way, if anything happens, it will be much more convenient to seek medical treatment."

Although their home is in the county town, the medical conditions here are far inferior to those in big cities, and many excellent doctors have been sent to support rural medical construction.

Faced with Xu Xiufang's suggestion, Xie Chunyan did not hesitate at all. For the sake of her unborn child, she resolutely agreed.

There happened to be an opportunity to transfer her current job, and this job was originally introduced by Xu Xiufang, so Xie Chunyan was naturally happy to let Xu Xiufang handle it.

Xu Xiufang decided to give this job opportunity to Xiaoxi, as she knew it was a chance to change Xiaoxi's destiny.

At that time, Xiaoxi was busy in the kitchen. Months of housework made her look thinner and thinner, and her hands were stained with traces of time from housework, appearing black and yellow.

Xu Xiufang's sudden appearance made her rush out of the kitchen and hurriedly wipe the water stains on her hands on her apron.

When she heard Xu Xiufang mention work, she was stunned for a moment, her mouth slightly open, obviously not expecting such sudden good news.

Qin Yunli, who was standing not far away, saw this and hurriedly stepped forward and gently pushed Xiaoxi's shoulder. A hint of envy and encouragement flashed in her eyes: "Xiaoxi, why are you still standing there? Second Aunt said she found a job for you, why don't you thank Second Aunt quickly."

Xu Xiufang's eyes swept across Qin Yunli and caught the subtle changes in her expression.

Qin Yunli noticed the scrutinizing look and unconsciously restrained the expression on her face. She gave Xu Xiufang a slightly nervous smile, with a hint of imperceptible pleading in her eyes.

Xu Xiufang's gaze passed through Qin Yunli and fell on Shi Tou who was playing in the yard.

Shitou is almost three years old. Although he has been spoiled by Qin Yunli since he was a child, he has also received strict education from Xie's mother.

Xie's mother learned a lesson from Li Tiezhu's educational mistakes and did not spoil her grandson Shitou blindly.

Every time Qin Yunli and Xie's mother had a disagreement on the issue of educating Shitou, Qin Yunli was always forced to compromise because she could not overcome Xie's mother's insistence, and could only watch with tears in her eyes as Xie's mother disciplined Shitou.

There is a hint of restraint and shyness in Shitou's character. Unlike his mother's gentleness, he is more shy and timid.

Feeling Xu Xiufang's gaze, he gently called out "Second Aunt", and then trotted away shyly like a frightened deer.

Xu Xiufang looked at Shitou's running back, the corners of her mouth unconsciously raised and she let out a chuckle.

Qin Yunli noticed Xu Xiufang's smile and swallowed back the words she was about to say.

However, when Xu Xiufang's gaze swept over her again and her smile gradually disappeared, a trace of loss and sadness suddenly flashed across Qin Yunli's face, as if it was smoke blown away by the cold wind, and quickly disappeared.

At this moment, Xiaoxi seemed to understand something, with an incredible light in her eyes: "You mean, I'm going to work in the textile factory in the county? Second Aunt, you..."

"Your aunt has resigned due to special circumstances," Xu Xiufang explained patiently, "so this position is now vacant, and you can take over."

Xiaoxi had heard about Xie Chunyan's situation, but she didn't expect Xu Xiufang to give her such a valuable job opportunity. A thin layer of mist welled up in her eyes, and her heart was filled with gratitude.

"Thank you, Second Aunt, thank you so much!"

There was uncontrollable excitement and gratitude in Xiaoxi's voice.

Xu Xiufang originally planned to comfort her and tell her not to be too polite, but when she saw Qin Yunli's complicated look, her mind changed in an instant.
