The Fat Wife of the 1980s Awakens

Boss Hu frowned even more when he saw this. He stared at her with displeasure and asked, "Don't you know that your husband works hard here? Why are you, a woman, not at home taking care of the family, running here to cause trouble?"

"This is a construction site. We need to be efficient and orderly. No one is allowed to bring family members in from now on. This is a place for construction, not a vegetable market!" Boss Hu's words were a bit harsh, making people around him feel unhappy.

Xu Xiufang felt aggrieved when she heard Boss Hu's sarcastic words. She was about to retort, but Xie Yi spoke first.

"I really can't do anything about foreign stuff. I'm here to do construction work, not a professional repairman. Besides, my family just passed by this old bridge on their way home and didn't plan to come to the construction site to cause trouble for me."

Xie Yi's words were clear and powerful, and his eyes were honest.

At this moment, in Xu Xiufang's eyes, Xie Yi seemed taller than ever, full of manly responsibility and charm.

Boss Hu was choked by Xie Yi's tough response and his cheeks turned red.

He was obviously surprised and annoyed by this sudden counterattack, but in the end, he had to compromise and said through gritted teeth: "In this case, I will immediately appoint you as the person in charge of this project, and increase your monthly salary by 300 as compensation."

Everyone present was stunned by this sudden turn of events, but Xie Yi remained calm as always.

A small disturbance unexpectedly changed the situation on the construction site.

During the tight five-month construction period, every day was like a horse being whipped, and every second counted.

If the project is not completed successfully by the agreed deadline, these workers who have been working day and night will have no choice but to pack up their simple bedding.

As for the hard-earned money of the last month, I'm afraid it will disappear into thin air.

There was determination in Wang Yimin's eyes and sweat ran down his cheeks.

He was surrounded by a group of equally anxious co-workers. They had been roaming the streets and alleys since early morning, asking everyone who might know the answer, but their search was like looking for a needle in a haystack, and it was ultimately in vain for them to find the expert who could do the repair.

Faced with this situation, Boss Hu's eyes seemed to be spewing anger.

"I raise you not to tell me how difficult the problem is, but to solve the problem!"

When Xu Xiufang witnessed this scene, she couldn't help feeling a sense of injustice.

She despised Boss Hu's amateurish approach of instructing professionals and exploiting his employees.

She stepped forward resolutely and asked Boss Hu about the cost of the repairs.

However, what he got was the other party's disdainful ridicule and contempt.

"A woman comes to join in the fun? If you don't want to get in the way, go home and breastfeed your child as soon as possible, and don't delay your work. Can you afford the loss of delayed project?" There was no politeness or consideration in Boss Hu's words because she was Xie Yi's wife.

Although Xie Yi had long harbored the idea of ​​going it alone, he could only endure it silently due to his family's financial constraints.

He looked at his confident wife and felt mixed emotions.

Recently, Xu Xiufang has brought him surprises one after another. Repairing high-tech equipment seems to be just a piece of cake for her.

Boss Hu looked at Xu Xiufang with suspicion and sneered in his heart. How could a fat country woman be able to operate these sophisticated foreign instruments?

Absolutely ridiculous!

"For Mr. Xie's sake, I won't argue with you, a woman. Leave quickly, otherwise..."

Boss Hu's expression was distorted before he finished speaking. Deep down in his heart, he really wanted the measuring instrument to be reborn, but the connection between Xu Xiufang and professional maintenance was beyond his imagination.

Xie Yi spoke at this time, his voice cold but decisive: "My wife can repair it."

His words, like his usual style, are what he says and cannot be questioned.

The workers seemed to see a glimmer of hope, and all eyes were focused on Xu Xiufang.

In an era when materials were scarce and finding a job was harder than climbing to the sky, every family was struggling on the poverty line. Losing a job meant an imbalance in the family, and perhaps even the most basic food and clothing became a problem.

Xu Xiufang's courage and bravery were undoubtedly the only ray of hope in their eyes.

Boss Hu stared at Xie Yi blankly, his eyes flickering with determination that left no room for doubt.

Xu Xiufang's previous words involuntarily echoed in his mind, and he weighed the pros and cons in his heart.

Indeed, if this critical machine cannot be repaired, village officials may really consider replacing it with more reliable technical forces.

After all, this bridge is a key project at the county level. Replacing the contracting team is just a piece of cake in the huge project blueprint.

He secretly glanced at Xu Xiufang beside him, and saw that her back was straight and a spirit of unyielding tenacity emanated from her.

Boss Hu pursed his lips and said in a pretentious manner: "Okay, I'll give you a chance to show your strength. As long as you can really solve this problem, I promise to reuse Xie Yi in the future."

After saying this, his tone was mixed with a bit of bravado, trying to save some face.

When Xu Xiufang heard this, she was almost choked by this empty promise and became speechless.

She rolled her eyes at Boss Hu with disdain, then turned around, lightly pulled the docile yellow cow, and led the three little guys steadily towards home. It was obvious that she had no intention of wasting any more words with this man who was full of empty talk.

For Xie Yi, with his knowledge of poetry and books, he can naturally make a career anywhere. There is no need to waste his time on a fruitless tree and endure unnecessary grievances.

However, when Xu Xiufang carefully recalled the plot of the book, she realized that the workers who followed Xie Yi in wind and rain were not able to extricate themselves as easily as he was.

Their wings are not yet fully grown, how can they fly just like that?

As someone who had also experienced bitterness and pain, she empathized with the difficulties of workers' lives. Because of all this, she had struggled for countless days and nights before she could barely climb to a slightly higher position.

Under the gaze of everyone, only Xie Yi remained unusually calm.

For Xie Yi and his co-workers, Xu Xiufang decided to make a final compromise: "Now, I am the repairman you need. After I get the money, I have to solve the problem. Boss Hu, you know this simple truth, right?"

Seeing Xu Xiufang leading the cow away, Boss Hu's heart skipped a beat.

His trust in Xie Yi made him believe that this seemingly ordinary peasant woman might actually be a very capable person.

Although Boss Hu had seen countless people and could feel the frankness and directness in Xu Xiufang's character, he still had some doubts about the depth of her actual abilities.

"Okay, it'll cost a hundred dollars to repair, but if it fails, you'll have to pay for the damages."
