The Fat Wife of the 1980s Awakens

She said, "Sister-in-law, I didn't expect you guys to come back. Just now, when I saw my brother going to boil water, I thought I was seeing things!"

"There's nothing wrong with your eyes, is there something wrong with your brain?" Xu Xiufang said sarcastically, with a sharp gleam in her eyes.

Gu Xiaoling was speechless for a moment, but surprisingly she did not lose her temper. She just forced a smile and pretended to be confused, "No, I'm pretty smart. By the way, mother..."

Gu Xiaoling changed the subject and looked at Xie's mother, trying to change the subject, "Is Dad okay?"

Last time I heard that he had fallen, I was terrified and wanted to inform the third child, but I didn’t go to the hospital with him because he had to work. Later I heard that my brother-in-law took him directly to the city hospital, so we all rushed to the county town, but we still didn’t catch up! "

"Really?" Xie's mother sneered, her tone full of sarcasm and indifference.

A few years ago, due to Gu Xiaoling's instigation, Xie Laosan didn't even go home for the holidays. That estrangement is still a thorn in the hearts of the old couple.

Even though they said they wanted to sever ties with Xie Lao San, which parent could really bear to break up with their son?

Over the years, the relationship between Xie Laosan and his wife and the two elders has deteriorated. The two elders always thought that one day, Xie Laosan would see through Gu Xiaoling and understand their painstaking efforts.

However, things went against their wishes and Xie Laosan drifted further and further away from them, almost becoming strangers.

This time when his father fell ill, the eldest son did not accompany him in person, but at least he showed concern and asked about him.

And Xie Laosan never showed up even once from beginning to end!

Xie's mother's heart was completely chilled, and she completely lost hope in her son.

Therefore, Gu Xiaoling's attempt to use the topic of Xie Lao San to soften Xie's mother was undoubtedly a wrong calculation and only added fuel to the fire.

Xie's mother was too disdainful to get entangled with Gu Xiaoling. After looking around, she suddenly grabbed the feather duster and waved it at Gu Xiaoling without hesitation.

"What are you trying to do? Humph, you troublemaker, you won't stop until I teach you a lesson! I'll beat you to death, you bad guy, bah, get out of here!"

"what!"

Gu Xiaoling dodged and screamed, "Mom, you misunderstood, I didn't mean anything else, I just wanted to see my second sister-in-law and say hello!"

Xie's mother continued to attack, but Gu Xiaoling did not run away and instead shouted, trying to get help from Xu Xiufang, but the mother and daughter were obviously unmoved.

While Gu Xiaoling was dodging, she was accidentally hit. She gasped in pain and suddenly stopped like a child who had thrown away a broken jar.

Seeing this, Xie's mother hesitated and did not dare to be cruel again. She turned her eyes to Xu Xiufang, as if looking for support or approval.

Gu Xiaoling keenly caught this change and secretly delighted herself, it turned out that this trick of showing weakness could really work!

So she simply closed her eyes and pretended to be sad and said: "Second sister-in-law, I really want to repent this time. I was stupid and bad-tempered in the past, and I did a lot of things that let you down. Now I sincerely apologize to you. If beating me can make you calm down, then go ahead and beat me. I will never hide again!"

Xu Xiufang saw through Gu Xiaoling's intentions.

Once upon a time, when Zhou Qifeng and Gu Tingting were admitted to university, Gu Xiaoling pestered them and tried to get close to them. Now, has she turned her target to herself and her second brother?

When will this drama end?

Xu Xiufang looked at Gu Xiaoling's surprised and puzzled expression, and a complicated emotion arose in her heart.

Should we laugh at her innocence and believe that people are all good, or should we lament her stupidity and mistakenly believe that she would easily let go of those who tried to hurt her?

The corners of her mouth curled up in an almost invisible arc, and her tone was calm with unquestionable strength: "Mom, keep hitting me, use some strength."

These words were like a gust of wind-calming medicine, instantly increasing Xie's mother's confidence. She gripped the broom tightly, her eyes flashing with determination. Since her daughter had given the order, she would carry it out without reservation.

Gu Xiaoling was extremely shocked. Before the college entrance examination, she had experienced Xu Xiufang's ruthless attitude once she touched her reverse scale. Therefore, before this trip, she had silently told herself that no matter how she was treated, she had to grit her teeth and get through it.

However, she had never expected that Xu Xiufang had such a hard heart, and she had never expected that Xie's mother would act without hesitation. At a command, brooms fell like raindrops.

Although it was cold in winter and people had to wear thick clothes, Xie's mother was obviously well aware of this. She cleverly avoided the cover of clothes and directly hit the less fleshy parts of Gu Xiaoling's body.

In addition, she had lost a lot of weight in recent years due to various reasons, and her calves were exposed. Every time the broom fell, it seemed to hit her bones directly. The pain made her whole body twitch, as if millions of ants were gnawing at her skin.

The thought of throwing a tantrum and lying on the ground flashed through her mind, but the rope of reason held her tightly, telling her that this would only make the punishment more severe - after all, in this family, when the mother-in-law scolds the daughter-in-law, even if the police are called, it is difficult for outsiders to intervene.

Gu Xiaoling managed to hold on for a few moments, but ultimately she couldn't bear the excruciating pain anymore, and she fled from the place screaming and jumping.

"Hiss! Ah! Mom! It hurts! We, ah! I, will apologize next time, next time!"

Her words were sporadic and the pain prevented her from uttering a complete sentence.

"This girl has bad intentions."

Although Xie's mother was waving a broom in the cold wind, her cheeks were flushed and beads of sweat oozed from her forehead. Looking at Gu Xiaoling's hasty escape, she spat, with an unbreakable firmness in her eyes, "Come once, I'll beat you once!"

Xu Xiufang's eyes lightly swept across this scene without paying too much attention to it. Instead, she considerately took out a clean white handkerchief from her pocket and handed it to Xie's mother: "Mom, wipe the sweat off your face."

Mother Xie wanted to take it, but she was worried that her hands were covered with dust and she was afraid of tainting her daughter's precious things. While hesitating, she just wiped it on her face casually and showed an awkward smile: "It's not much sweat, it's just that Gu Xiaoling made her blush."

Xu Xiufang did not notice Xie's mother's subtle emotions and gently took back the handkerchief. After a short stay, Xie's mother said goodbye and went home, leaving Xu Xiufang and Xiaoyun a temporary quiet space.

The mother and son rested for a while, and when Xie Yi came back with the freshly boiled hot water, they washed up together for the evening.

When everything was ready, the night had quietly crept up the window frame. Xu Xiufang took Xiaoyun back to the room to enjoy this moment of tranquility and rest.

Sanbao and Xie Yi also finished cleaning. When the last rays of sunset disappeared from the sky, they knew that it was time for dinner.

On the dining table of the old house, the results of Feng Dongling's busy afternoon were ready. The hot food exuded an enticing aroma. He came over specially to invite Xu Xiufang and others to have dinner together.

Xu Xiufang tried to persuade Feng Dongling to stay: "Brother Feng, don't you want to finish your dinner before leaving?"

Although Feng Dongling has gained weight and looks a little tired, the gentleness and happiness he exudes makes people guess that all these changes are due to his selfless love for children.
