The Fat Wife of the 1980s Awakens

"So do you think that because we earn a lot, we should take Big Brother and the others to Beijing?"

Xu Xiufang went straight to the point and observed every subtle expression of Xie's mother.

After all, the eldest and third brothers Xie are mother Xie’s flesh and blood, and that inseparable family bond makes everything complicated.

If Xie's mother also held the view that "if you have the ability, you should bring everyone along", Xu Xiufang would not agree.

Feng Dongling and Fang Kai were invited because they could help Xie Yi and were also capable of supporting themselves in Beijing.

But what the first and second wives want is "enjoyment" that comes without any effort.

That was a kind of parasitic greed that Xu Xiufang could not tolerate. No matter what her relationship with Qin Yunli and Gu Xiaoling was, she would never condone such behavior.

Therefore, it is necessary to draw a clear line so that Xie's mother understands her position and at the same time clearly knows Xie's mother's attitude.

"Of course not!"

Xie's mother's answer was straightforward, "Every penny you earn is hard-earned, and being willing to share is a sign of your kindness, but they should never take it for granted."

Xu Xiufang finally felt relieved. Her mother-in-law's sense of right and wrong would undoubtedly reduce a lot of future troubles.

"Mom, I'm telling you the truth," Xu Xiufang paused for a moment and said sincerely, "I did have selfish motives in not letting my eldest brother and the others go to Beijing. I don't like Qin Yunli and Gu Xiaoling, and I don't want them to be around all the time."

When Xie's mother heard this, she looked a little surprised and said nothing.

Xu Xiufang continued, "I originally thought that since he is Xie Yi's brother after all, if we can support each other in the future, it would be reasonable for him to lend a helping hand."

Xie's mother noticed that Xu Xiufang seemed to have not finished speaking, so she waited quietly for what to say next.

"But after what happened today," Xu Xiufang took a deep breath, her voice revealing determination, "I feel that it is more appropriate for us to be well and not disturb each other."

Xu Xiufang's intention was very clear, which was to draw a clear line between herself and the other two families and live separately.

As a mother of three children, even though Xie's mother had foreseen this, she still couldn't avoid feeling a little bitter.

Today, Gu Xiaoling and the others' greedy behavior completely exposed their true nature, making Xie's mother feel ashamed to say anything to defend them.

In the end, she could only nod weakly, "Mom understands."

Knowing is knowing, so that you can act according to your wishes.

Xu Xiufang has clearly stated her bottom line. No matter how others view it, no one can use this as an excuse to influence her in the future.

"Mom, have you and Dad thought it through? Have you decided whether to go to Beijing City? You need to make a decision as soon as possible so that you can buy tickets in advance."

Xu Xiufang changed the subject easily, obviously hoping to put this unpleasant incident behind her as soon as possible.

Seeing this, Xie's mother understood that she wanted to start a new chapter, and she also cheered herself up, hesitating with expectation: "Xiufang, do you really want me to go to Beijing with your father?"

Xu Xiufang raised her eyebrows slightly, a gentle smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, and then she nodded slowly, her tone full of consideration and care: "If you move to Beijing, it will be much more convenient for us to visit you, and we don't have to travel long distances, which is time-consuming and laborious every time. Besides, you and dad are not young anymore, and Brother Yi and I really can't bear to let the two elders work hard for a living. The medical conditions in Beijing are many times better than those in our home... However, the final decision still depends on your own wishes."

Xie Yi is not the only child of Xie's parents. Although Xu Xiufang does not want to have too much interaction with the first and third wives, she deeply understands and respects Xie's parents' desire to maintain family harmony, so she never interferes with their interactions with other children.

It was naturally much more convenient for Xie's father and mother to move to Beijing, but it added some inconvenience to the first and third wives.

Therefore, this multiple-choice question lies in the hands of Xie's father and mother.

Xu Xiufang's brows revealed a trace of worry, and she continued, "Mom, if you or Dad are unwell in the future, we may not be able to rush back to take care of you in the first place."

Although Beijing is not out of reach, it takes more than two days to travel there and back by train. Even if they can squeeze out the time, the fatigue from the journey and the complicated crowds will become stumbling blocks for them to return home!

Deep down, Xie's mother actually longed to go to Beijing, but she was afraid that she and Xie's father would be unfamiliar with the city, and going there would only cause trouble for Xu Xiufang and the others, so she had the idea of ​​staying in the countryside and continuing to farm.

She did not have as far-reaching considerations as Xu Xiufang. After all, in the village, people in their seventies and eighties were still working hard in the fields, as if that was all their lives were about.

However, Xu Xiufang's words were like a loud drum, hitting Xie's mother's heart hard, making the hesitation disappear in an instant.

She recalled that when Xie's father was accidentally injured a few days ago, although the eldest brother Xie sent her father to the county hospital, the third brother Xie didn't even look at him!

If they continued to stay in the countryside, it would be hard to predict whether their two biological sons could be relied upon in the event of an emergency!

As for the two daughters-in-law, there is no need to mention them.

"Well, Xiufang, I've discussed this with your father privately. As long as we don't add any burden to you, we're willing to follow you to Beijing."

Mother Xie's eyes were slightly shy as she carefully told Xu Xiufang about the situation. She seemed a little embarrassed after finishing her story and quickly added, "When we get to Beijing, we can help take care of Chunyan and Dongling's children. This way, Dongling can go out to work with the second child without any worries!"

"Big sister and Dongling also agreed?"

Xu Xiufang's voice was full of surprise.

"Ok!"

Mother Xie also smiled, "Dongling said that besides Chunyan, you are the people closest to him. Since you all went to Jing City, he naturally doesn't want to be left behind."

"Then it's settled!"

Xu Xiufang smiled brightly, "I'll ask Brother Yi and the others to buy tickets in the next two days. After the Spring Festival, we'll go back to Beijing together!"

……

On the other side, under the old eaves.

Boss Xie walked out the door, his eyes fell on the empty kitchen, and he couldn't help but sigh.

He was silent, leading Erhua and Xiaohua to carefully clean the pots and pans that were rarely used, leaving no corner untouched.

Xu Xiufang had brought back all the meat that she had earned with her parents' work points to her own home. Now, the only meat left was the two kilograms of meat that Xie Lao Da and Qin Yunli had earned with their work points.

Boss Xie only cooked half a pound and didn't touch any of it himself. He left half for the children and carefully brought the other half into the house and handed it to Qin Yunli who was lying on the bed.

Boss Xie remembered that his wife needed nutrition after giving birth, so he added a little more oil and salt. However, due to his long-standing habit of saving, the dishes pale in comparison to those of Xu Xiufang's family, both in quantity and taste.

What's more, his cooking skills are indeed not as good as Xu Xiufang's.

This meal naturally cannot be compared with the delicious food prepared by Xu Xiufang and others.
