The Fat Wife of the 1980s Awakens

"That's right, he can even repair the TV, he's just like Superman!" another child couldn't wait to agree.

When Dabao and Erbao heard these words, they felt a little awkward, but also a little proud.

After all, the feeling of being looked up to by everyone is truly indescribable.

On the other side, Xie Fei frowned and kept repeating: "Impossible, this is absolutely impossible."

Xu Xiufang, on the other hand, remained calm and didn't care about Xie Fei's reaction at all. She simply stretched out her hand and asked for the repair fee in a firm attitude.

For some reason, the thugs who had just been sneering at her suddenly felt their cheeks getting hot, making them feel uneasy and they all looked for excuses to flee the scene.

"I really didn't bring any money, not even a dime."

Xie Fei looked around guiltily, and finally turned around irritably and left quickly, trying to escape from it all.

Seeing this, Xu Xiufang sneered, pointed at the fleeing figure, and said to the village party secretary present: "Village head, the village should do justice for me in this matter, right?"

When the village party secretary heard this, thinking about his own TV being repaired for free, he couldn't help but smile and agreed: "Of course, justice must be done."

Just as Xu Xiufang was packing up her tools and planning to return home to take care of Xiaobao,

A kind-looking aunt in the crowd hurried forward and held her arm tightly, her eyes full of pleading: "My daughter is a tailor in the next village, but her electric iron broke recently. Can you take some time to check it out? We will pay for the repair."

Xu Xiufang was secretly delighted. She didn't expect that business would come to her as soon as she showed off her skills.

But she remained calm on the surface and responded calmly: "Okay, I'll go over and take a look tomorrow."

"My daughter is waiting to iron her wedding dress and is very anxious. Now she can only use the old-fashioned iron at home and light a fire with charcoal. The weather is so hot and she is pregnant. I am really worried that she can't handle it."

Hearing this, Xu Xiufang's heart suddenly tightened. In the scorching heat of June, making a charcoal fire in a small space was tantamount to taking a risk.

Although she is not a savior, she always wants to accumulate some good karma for her future.

"Okay, I'll take care of the three babies at home first, and then we'll set off."

Xu Xiufang hurriedly arranged for the two children, moving quickly but gently.

As soon as she stepped into the house, she didn't waste even a moment and went straight to Widow Li's residence next door.

Widow Li lost her husband at a young age and had to raise her two children alone, struggling to make ends meet on a meager pension.

In the past, whenever Xie Yiru had to go out for something, he would temporarily leave the triplets here, and Widow Li was always happy to help.

Widow Li seemed to have guessed Xu Xiufang's needs long ago. Without waiting for Xu Xiufang to speak, she took the initiative to lead her children to help look after Xiaobao.

Although the two did not interact closely on a daily basis, Xie Yi always lent a helping hand at critical moments, and this friendship made Widow Li remember it in her heart.

As night fell, Xu Xiufang followed her aunt. The light of the flashlight penetrated the darkness, illuminating the road leading to the neighboring village. The two figures gradually disappeared into the night.

As soon as she stepped into the courtyard, Xu Xiufang's eyes were involuntarily attracted by the focused figure in the main hall.

Under the dim light, the man was working at his desk with his head down, the pen in his hand jumping lightly on the yellowed paper.

"What a coincidence, your boyfriend is here too. Maybe they don't know that he is not only a scholar, but also a good hand at repairing electrical appliances." Aunt rubbed her hands with a look of regret on her face.

Hearing this, Xu Xiufang shook her head slightly and said casually: "It's okay, they may be busy discussing important things, let's not disturb them."

Seeing that Xu Xiufang was not at all unhappy, the aunt led the way forward with confidence.

Inside the house, Xie Yi's attention was completely immersed in the engineering drawings in front of him, and nothing in the outside world seemed to disturb him.

A slight staggering sound broke the silence, and his eyes finally lifted slightly.

Xu Xiufang was not familiar with this courtyard. The dim light cast a blurry shadow on the threshold, causing her to trip inadvertently.

When Xie Yi saw Xu Xiufang walking slowly towards him from the darkness with a flashlight in her hand, the unhappiness in his heart started to rise like a ignited flame.

He suppressed the anger in his chest, and said in a low and suppressed voice, "Master Wang and I are discussing the urgent matters on the construction site tomorrow, and it will be over soon."

After saying this, he noticed Xu Xiufang's displeased glance and felt mixed emotions.

Xu Xiufang walked straight towards the room filled with various cloths, seemingly having no interest in Xie Yi's explanation.

His aunt followed closely behind, hurriedly explaining the misunderstanding to Xie Yi as she walked.

Xie Yi frowned, wondering why he had never realized that Xu Xiufang had the skill to repair electrical appliances.

He took a deep breath, tried his best to calm the waves in his heart, and turned to Master Wang: "Master Wang, let's continue to discuss the construction plan of that bridge."

Master Wang nodded repeatedly, his eyes full of trust and support for Xie Yi's professional ability.

Since Xie Yi left the Agricultural Machinery Bureau, his life has not been easy, and he has been barely making a living by doing odd jobs on construction sites.

Now, the god of fate seems to have smiled upon him. The development plan of Xiaoxi Village in the county, especially the bridge project that is about to cross the river, has become a turning point for him.

After the boss learned about Xie Yi's profound knowledge in mechanical design, he resolutely gave him this important responsibility.

Although the design of the reinforcement and pedestal size of the pile foundation is a big challenge for him, with his deep understanding of mechanics, he can always deal with it skillfully and simplify it.

On the other hand, Xu Xiufang quickly solved the problem of her aunt's daughter's electric iron with her skillful hands.

After collecting a symbolic two yuan repair fee, she planned to leave quietly, but it was already late at night.

Master Wang Yimin saw this and quickly stood up to persuade her to stay: "Sister-in-law, my brother's work is almost over. It's inconvenient to go out at night. Why don't we wait for him to finish his work and go home together?"

Xu Xiufang ignored Xie Yi's gaze, but nodded gratefully for Wang Yimin's kindness: "Thank you for your kindness, Master Wang, but the children are still waiting for me to go home and give them a bath, so I have to go first."

Thinking of the three lively and active children at home, she felt even more helpless about her cold relationship with Xie Yi.

After hearing this, Wang Yimin said to Xie Yi with full sincerity: "Brother, let's put it this way. I already have some understanding of the construction of the foundation tomorrow, so I can lead the workers first. Although your explanation is detailed, I can't digest it in a short time. Why don't you accompany your sister-in-law back first? After all, it's so late, and road safety comes first."

An expression of confusion that was hard to conceal emerged between Xie Yi's brows. His sharp eyes penetrated the night and locked onto Xu Xiufang.

How many unknown secrets are hidden in this woman?
