The Fat Wife of the 1980s Awakens

When it comes to Zhou Xiaoyun, half of his care comes from his responsibility to his nephew, and the other half comes from his recognition of her fresh and refined appearance and witty and humorous personality.

But once all this goodwill touched the economic lifeline on which he depended for survival, even a lovely girl like Zhou Xiaoyun would instantly become insignificant and would be ruthlessly pushed away by him.

When Zhou Xiaoyun heard this, her face turned pale instantly, as if all the blood color had been drained away by fear.

She hurriedly forced out a flattering smile and approached Boss Ma, her tone full of flattery and fear: "Oh, it's because I was irritated by that shameless villain, otherwise I wouldn't be so out of control. Last time Ma Chang was taken away by the police for harassment, wasn't it this woman who was behind it."

Boss Ma is a smart guy. After hearing Zhou Xiaoyun's explanation, he immediately understood the whole story.

He gently stroked the expensive watch on his wrist and said in a deep voice, "Are you talking about the man on Boss Hu's construction site? And that woman, does she run an electrical appliance repair shop?"

Seeing this, Zhou Xiaoyun was delighted and nodded vigorously, as if she had found a savior.

Boss Ma's words were enough to make her feel somewhat at ease.

"If you dare to mess with my nephew, you must be prepared to lose your job."

Boss Ma said this coldly, with a calculating gleam in his eyes.

If the police had not been in a state of alert recently, he would have cleared away those stumbling blocks one by one, including the children including Xie Yi and the woman, all of which would have turned into cash in his hands.

However, reality forced him to find another way out and deal with them with more covert and sophisticated means.

At the same time, Xu Xiufang, who had just stepped into the courtyard, stood there in a daze, her eyes full of disbelief.

Her reaction quickly affected the three children behind her, and they also stopped sucking on the candied haws, with surprise on their faces.

Xie Yi was even more shocked and looked at everything in front of him in disbelief.

Home was robbed?

Although the old electrical appliances were still safely placed in the yard, only half of the main door was left hanging alone, with the other half lying in the dust, as if telling of the violence that had just occurred.

Inside the main room, the square table that had been neatly arranged was roughly overturned to the ground, leaving a mess.

White rice noodles were scattered on the ground, the air was filled with the aroma of grains, and the cloth bags containing rice noodles were like abandoned toys, thrown away in every corner.

Xu Xiufang's brows were furrowed, her eyes revealing tension and worry, and she looked at Xie Yi uneasily.

Xie Yi immediately realized that something was wrong and calmly ordered, "Stay here for now. I'll go in and take a look at the situation first."

Although Xu Xiufang was fearless, as a protector of her three children, she decided to wait outside the door to ensure their safety.

Only after Xie Yi entered the main room and confirmed that there was no further danger did he invite Xu Xiufang and the children into the house.

As soon as I stepped over the threshold, I heard Xu Xiaohua's heart-wrenching cry from the room on the left, which was heartbreaking.

As a grown man, Xie Yi was not in a position to intervene directly in a woman's private affairs, so he arranged for the children first, "You stay here for a while, I'll take the children to pack up their things."

The crying sounded like needles, piercing Xu Xiufang's heart. She pursed her lips tightly, trying not to let her emotions get out of control.

She gently placed the items she had just bought for Yueyue and Yangyang beside the bed, trying to comfort Xu Xiaohua who was wiping away tears.

"These are all for your children, stop crying."

Although Xu Xiufang did not ask much, but from Xu Xiaohua's abnormal behavior and the chaos in the house, she had already guessed something in her heart. It must be that someone from the Guo family had come to make trouble.

Xu Xiaohua wiped away her tears and said helplessly, "Why waste all this money? I can't stay here for long. I will go back with the children later."

"Why do you want to leave? Where are you planning to go?" Xu Xiufang held Xu Xiaohua's hand tightly, the anxiety and reluctance in her eyes were obvious. Her voice trembled slightly with anxiety. She asked about Xu Xiaohua's whereabouts, fearing that this farewell would be forever.

She pursed her lips tightly, with a determined light flashing in her eyes. She didn't want to see this poor girl fall into endless suffering again. The tip of her nose suddenly felt sore, as if an imperceptible sadness was spreading in the air, and her heart was tangled as if it was being squeezed by an invisible hand.

"You are not allowed to go anywhere. Wherever my shadow is, you must follow it. Be patient and wait for the money I earn with my own hands to build a cozy home for you in this city full of opportunities and challenges. Even if you can't realize your dream of buying a house, renting one is also fine, but this marriage must be completely severed and we have nothing to do with each other anymore."

Xu Xiufang's words were like the warm sunshine in spring, gentle but firm, trying to illuminate her sister's gloomy sky.

Xu Xiaohua's ears caught these extremely warm words, and the long-pent-up grievances and bitterness in her heart instantly found a breakthrough. Her tear glands were like a river bursting its banks, and tears flowed into lines.

"How can I always rely on you? I have my own hands, which are enough to hold up my own sky. I used to naively think that as long as I gritted my teeth, the difficult days would always pass, and it would be better for the children to have a nominal father than to have no father at all. But now it seems that it was just a joke to comfort myself. Not having a father may be a relief for them."

She tried hard to hold back her sobs, her tone containing a hint of self-mockery and helplessness.

Xu Xiufang quickly took out her handkerchief and gently wiped away her sister's hot tears.

"Put aside your other worries for now. Tell me, who made our family like this? I want them to know that if they hurt my family, they will have to pay the price!"

Although her voice was not loud, it carried unquestionable power, as if she was ready to face all difficulties.

"Who else could do such a heartless thing except for the Guo family? They led the people of Guojia Village to tyrannically take away Yueyue and Yangyang, insisting that they were their own flesh and blood. Now, I have been deprived of the qualification to step into the place that I once called 'home'."

When Xu Xiaohua said this, she unconsciously pressed her aching heart with her hand. Every breath seemed to remind her of the pain and loss she had suffered.

Xu Xiufang took a deep breath and a determined light flashed in her eyes. She knew very well that now was not the time to indulge in sadness.

Since someone is deliberately trying to harm their sister, they must take action, formulate a strategy, and fight back.

"Sister, please settle down here first. If you still feel it's hard to let go, I am willing to use my savings to rent a place for you in the city. One day in the future, when we have enough financial resources, I promise to buy you a house that truly belongs to you."
