The Fat Wife of the 1980s Awakens

Now an invisible rule has been formed in the village. If you visit someone during meal time, you usually avoid it to avoid causing trouble to the other party.

But Fang Kai and Xie Yi have a deep friendship. If it were Xie Yi's own family, he might really sit down and have dinner with them without any hesitation.

But in the old house, Fang Kai felt a little embarrassed. After all, this was the Xie family's public space. How could he feel comfortable being so at ease?

Feeling the subtlety in the air, he coughed dryly and made a slight swallowing sound in his throat, trying to hide the desire in his heart: "No, Dani has already prepared it at home."

Although he said this, his eyes unconsciously glanced at the dishes on the table, revealing a barely perceptible desire.

Xie Yi seemed to have seen through Fang Kai's thoughts long ago. He smiled heartily and pulled over a chair with a clang. There was a sense of heroism in his movements.

"Still pretending? Sit down and eat. You can't eat your brother to death!"

There was unquestionable determination and brotherly intimacy in his voice.

Fang Kai was amused by his frankness. He chuckled awkwardly and shyly, then sat down.

Although he did not praise him directly, the happiness and satisfaction on his face silently proved Erbao's superb cooking skills. Erbao smiled from ear to ear and took the initiative to run to get bowls and chopsticks for Fang Kai without Xie Yi and his wife's instructions.

At the dinner table, in addition to Xu Xiufang's family, there was also a child from her uncle's family. The atmosphere was warm and harmonious.

Fang Kai ate with gusto, and also took the opportunity to ask Xie Yi and his wife about their plans to go to Beijing.

"...Brother Yi, sister-in-law, are you really going to Beijing?"

There was a hint of curiosity and yearning in his tone.

Xie Yi responded softly and patiently repeated the reasons he had discussed with Feng Dongling and others before, his words full of longing for the future.

After hearing this, Fang Kai's eyes sparkled with excitement, "Okay! Brother Yi, I'll go to Beijing with you too!"

His decision seemed to have been planned for a long time and was made up.

Xie Yi had expected this. Ever since Xu Xiufang told him the bad news about Fang Kai's mother, he had guessed that Fang Kai would make such a choice.

Xie Yi did not show any surprise, but looked at Fang Kai gently, "Are you full? There is still some beef in the kitchen. Can I fry another plate for you?"

He knew that Fang Kai would not refuse because of such a trivial matter. After all, the two of them had fought side by side, and this friendship was far more important than material things.

Fang Kai had no time to be polite. When he had followed Xie Yi in the past, they had gone through so many ups and downs together that there was no need for them to say much to each other.

He grinned and nodded cheekily, "Then I won't be polite!"

This cheerfulness is mixed with a hint of bitterness, but it is more of a support and understanding between brothers.

Xu Xiufang saw it all and understood in her heart that the friendship between Fang Kai and Xie Yi was as deep as the ocean.

She knew that Xie Yi was using his actions to silently comfort Fang Kai, who had lost his loved ones. This kind of silent comfort was more caring than any words.

So, she said softly, "I'll go. You and Akai haven't seen each other for so long, so have a good chat."

Seeing this, Erbao took the initiative to step forward and pulled Xiaobao to help make a fire. He looked eager to try, full of youthful energy and enthusiasm.

There was constant laughter and conversation at the dinner table, but Gu Xiaoling pricked up her ears over there, trying to catch every little movement.

Although the distance was far and the conversation was unclear, she still relied on her sensitive intuition to capture important fragments of information - Fang Kai, the Zhou family, Xie's father and mother, as well as Feng Dongling and Xie Chunyan's family, would follow Xu Xiufang and others to Beijing!

This news flashed through Gu Xiaoling's heart like a bolt of lightning, stirring up anxiety and restlessness in her that was difficult to calm down.

Returning to the house, she looked at Xie Lao San, who was snoring loudly on the bed. She couldn't help but raise her voice and called out, "Lao San~"

Xie Laosan and Gu Xiaoling have been in a cold war for a long time due to a dispute. The two are like two bulls facing each other in a bullring, and neither of them is willing to give in first.

Hearing Gu Xiaoling's rare gentle tone at this moment, he looked at his wife in surprise, with a hint of confusion and vigilance in his eyes: "What are you doing?"

This sudden tenderness caught him off guard.

Gu Xiaoling suppressed her anger and wanted to kick him to vent her anger countless times, but considering her purpose, she had to suppress her anger and said patiently, "Your second brother and the others are outside, why don't you go over and talk to them?"

Hearing this, Xie Lao San lost interest, "Why should I go? They don't like me!"

Gu Xiaoling felt mixed emotions. She was so disappointed in her husband that she almost wanted to grab Xie Laosan's ears and ask him why she married such an irresponsible man.

When asked to send some food to his parents, he actually refused; when his parents said they would cut off all ties with him, he really did it!

Why did the husband who used to be obedient to her become so stubborn and quarrel with her every day?

However, now was not the time to be angry with Xie Lao San. Gu Xiaoling took a deep breath and suppressed her anger again: "If they don't like you, you should go around them more often. You are his biological brother. Can he really hold a grudge against you for the rest of his life?"

"I won't take that kind of nonsense."

When Xie Laosan turned over, he seemed to have thought of something. He turned back suddenly, frowned, and questioned: "What are you up to now?"

Thinking of Gu Xiaoling's recent obedient attitude towards Xu Xiufang, that kind of obedience and diligence, just like the flattery when she mistakenly thought Zhou Qifeng and Gu Tingting were admitted to university last year, Xie Laosan suddenly realized and said sarcastically with a look of disdain: "You are not trying to get benefits from my second brother and others, are you?"

Gu Xiaoling was so angry when she heard this that she almost choked: "What do you mean I want to take advantage of you? Isn't everything I do for our family?"

She lowered her voice and said solemnly, "Do you know? They are coming back this time to take our parents and our eldest brother and his wife to Beijing! This is such a big deal, and you are still fussing over it!"

Gu Xiaoling's words were full of urgency, trying to awaken Xie Laosan's sense of responsibility.

Although Gu Xiaoling did not know for sure that Boss Xie and Qin Yunli were traveling together, with her insight into the subtle emotions between family members, she could almost conclude that since Fang Kai's group was ready to go, her uncle's family would not be content to be left behind, so she might as well include the first house in the considerations to make everyone happy!

Upon hearing this, Xie Laosan's expression changed slightly, and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.

However, he only pondered for a short while, then lay back on the pillow and stated the fact in a cold tone: "We have already separated and lived separately."

These three words, as loud as ice, made the air suddenly freeze.

"Even if the family is divided, you are still my parents' flesh and blood, and you are Xie Yi's real brother!"

Gu Xiaoling's voice was a little anxious, and she could hardly hold back and wanted to touch his forehead with her fingertips to awaken his reason.

Xie Laosan's attitude of staying out of the matter made her anger almost reach a boiling point.

"Even if we put aside family ties, Feng Dongling can still be considered half a member of the Xie family, but what about Fang Kai? There is no blood relationship between him and my second brother!"

Gu Xiaoling spoke sincerely and tried to convince Xie Laosan with logic.
