The Fat Wife of the 1980s Awakens

Xie Yi realized that his aunt might have misunderstood the situation and hurriedly let go of Xu Xiufang's hand.

Xu Xiufang took this opportunity to firmly say to Xie Yi: "Please consider the conditions I proposed carefully. I am not in a hurry."

After saying this, she quickly stepped forward, carefully supporting her elderly aunt, fearing that the old woman would slip on the road at night. She also kept chatting with her aunt along the way to cheer her up.

As there were outsiders present, Xie Yi could not continue to confront Xu Xiufang, so he could only follow them silently, feeling mixed emotions.

Inadvertently, he caught sight of what Xu Xiufang said when she was comforting her aunt, which roughly meant that no matter whether a child is a boy or a girl, they are all treasures and will have a bright future as long as they are well nurtured.

His eyes tightened slightly, and a complex emotion flashed in his pupils as he remembered the dusty past.

In that year, she gave birth to three sons in one pregnancy with amazing perseverance.

When she meets families that have given birth to daughters, she not only does not show sympathy, but she reveals an undisguised sense of superiority and speaks coldly about their bad luck, which is heartbreaking.

Her aunt's home was at the entrance of the village. Xu Xiufang followed her aunt's figure with gentle eyes as she disappeared behind the door. Then, her anxious mood drove her to quicken her pace, eager to go home to check on Xiaobao's condition.

I prayed silently in my heart that the other two children had also finished their TV time and returned home safely.

Her mind was completely focused on the children, and every step she took seemed so anxious that she didn't notice the question on Xie Yi's face at all.

Before Xie Yi could even utter his doubts, his train of thought was interrupted by a sudden shout.

In the shadow of the electric pole, Xie Fei looked a little tired. He shouted at Xie Yi impatiently, "Old Third, why did you come back just now? Can you come earlier next time? I've been feeding mosquitoes here for almost two hours!"

His tone was full of complaints, but when Xu Xiufang heard this, she just shook her head slightly and continued to walk towards home.

Not long after walking, she stopped and said in a cold voice, "Do you ever get sucked by a mosquito? Aren't you the one sucking other people's blood normally? Xie Yi didn't make any money today, but for Xiaobao's medical treatment, you have to make up for my share tomorrow no matter what."

As we all know, Xie Yi's father used to pretend to be sick to gain sympathy and used various means to squeeze money from children.

Xie Fei was even better than his teacher. He could cleverly take a dollar or two from Xie Yi every time, under the guise of brotherly partnership, but in fact he was satisfying his own selfish desires.

Xu Xiufang knew all about this. She knew that Xie Yi was not unaware of it, but just chose to remain silent.

But in the current situation, they have not yet divorced, the family is in financial difficulty, and Xiaobao is in urgent need of medical expenses.

Faced with the fact that Old Man Xie seemed to have a strong body but was still making endless demands, she would never allow this to happen again.

She turned around decisively, and her firm steps brought her back to Xie Yi. "Give me the money for today's work. Xiaobao's illness cannot be delayed."

Xie Yi looked at his wife's anxious face and thought about Xiaobao's condition. Even though he had many doubts in his mind, he resolutely gave all his wages to her.

He had a scale in his heart, and said to Xie Fei: "In the past, I have always borne our share, but now Xiaobao's treatment is urgent. I have advanced the money for you for five years. In the next five years, you will make up for my share."

Seeing this, Xu Xiufang felt a little relieved. She held the money tightly, turned around and went home.

However, is Xie Fei someone who gives up easily?

He grabbed Xie Yi's sleeve tightly, and even though he noticed that Xie Yi was eager to go home immediately to check on Xiaobao's condition, Xie Fei still did not let go.

"Third brother, we are brothers, you have to show some brotherly love. When you get married, don't forget your parents who raised you, and me, your eldest brother."

Xie Fei poured out to Xie Yi his entire experience of how Xu Xiufang had "blackmailed" him out of a hundred dollars today, his words full of grievance.

Then, he suddenly took out a divorce certificate and stuffed it into Xie Yi's hand.

"This woman is not suitable to stay in our family. Divorce is the best way out. I have already obtained a certificate from the brigade for you. Find a time for you to go and complete the formalities."

Xie Yi just ignored Xie Fei's words indifferently.

He has never considered divorce, and even if Xu Xiufang does not want to continue the marriage one day, he will not force it.

As a man, as long as she doesn't do anything excessive, he should shoulder his responsibilities until the end.

Moreover, he clearly noticed that her eyes were less cold than before and had more unspoken tenderness and tenacity.

He couldn't accept the picture of her traveling alone, carrying three young lives on her shoulders.

No, we must not let this happen.

The thought burned like a fire in his chest, fueling his determination.

He suddenly pushed away Xie Fei who was standing in front of him and strode forward.

At this time, Xu Xiufang had already stepped into that slightly simple but warm home.

Widow Li was seen running straight to the kitchen, holding an old washbasin in her hand with an anxious look on her face.

Before Xu Xiufang could ask why, Widow Li spoke first, with a trembling voice: "Xiaobao... has a high fever, and his forehead is as hot as fire. The only two antipyretic pills I have at home were taken by Xie Yi for emergency use."

These words made Xu Xiufang's heart suddenly tighten.

Without giving it much thought, she immediately began a frantic search at home, hoping to find a glimmer of hope in reducing her fever.

However, whether it was the drawer of the bedside table, the medicine box in the living room, or even a hidden corner in the kitchen, they were all empty.

Not only did this search yield no results, it also made her feel angry. She secretly blamed the original owner for being so careless that he didn't even have basic antipyretic medicine for the young child at home.

My gaze turned to Xiaobao, whose little face was red from the high fever. He tossed and turned in pain on the bed, groaning weakly.

Without a moment's hesitation, Xu Xiufang carried Xiaobao on her back and said, "Sister Li, I have to take Xiaobao to the clinic. Dabao and Erbao will be taken care of by the village secretary for the time being. If Xie Yi comes back, please be sure to tell him."

After saying that, she rushed towards the clinic like the wind, holding Xiaobao in her arms.

Xiaobao has always had a weak constitution, and this high fever is likely a recurrence of a long-standing illness.

Xu Xiufang swore in her heart that she would give Xiaobao a life that did not require dependence on drugs and would never let the little boy bear the burden of life too early.

Outside the door, Widow Li looked at Xu Xiufang's resolute back as she left, her heart filled with ripples.

Although Xu Xiufang sometimes has a bad temper on weekdays, she never lets down her guard at critical moments.

She decided to take care of Dabao and Erbao so that Xu Xiufang would have no worries.

At the same time, Xie Yi walked into the house, but what greeted him was——

Xiaobao's bed was messy and his shoes were scattered on the floor.

The absence of Dabao and Erbao was like a heavy hammer, hitting his heart hard.
