The Fat Wife of the 1980s Awakens

Xie Yi stood there, watching Xu Xiufang's back gradually going away, thinking to himself that although this woman seemed simple and innocent, she was actually well versed in the ways of the world.

As for why she needed these fish, he was not very interested in knowing.

The only thing he was sure of was that behind every move of Xu Xiufang, there must be her strategies and goals hidden.

Xu Xiufang left the courtyard and stopped in front of the store at the entrance of the village.

After some thought, she pushed the door open and walked in. Inside the store, Ma Chang was leaning over the old wooden counter, immersed in the joy of a phone conversation, rubbing his feet unconsciously with a flattering smile on his face.

Xu Xiufang didn't exchange any extra pleasantries and went straight to the point. She said to the lady boss behind the counter, "Give me a pack of White Rabbit candy."

The children were insulted innocently, and every harsh word pierced her heart.

How can I swallow this humiliation in silence?

When Ma Chang saw Xu Xiufang generously taking out money, he started to tease her slickly: "Oh, which god of wealth has favored you? Are you enjoying the taste of high-end candies?"

Xu Xiufang frowned slightly when she heard this, "Last time I used a carrying pole to teach you a lesson, have you forgotten it so quickly? Do you want to do it again?"

Recalling the punishment he received last time for his impulsiveness, Ma Chang felt a chill on the back of his neck, and the dull pain seemed to creep up to the surface of his skin again.

"You shrew, it's obviously you..."

Before Ma Chang could finish his words, a gust of wind blew up. Xu Xiufang was already furious. Without giving him any time to explain, she slapped him hard in the face. The crisp sound echoed in the store.

This is the intersection of rural information, and she would never allow Ma Chang to tarnish her reputation here, even with the slightest stain.

Ma Chang covered his burning cheeks and glared back angrily: "Woman, are you violent?"

On weekdays, he relied on his cousin's power in the county street office and got a job as a veterinarian in the village like a flattering dog.

But in reality, he is often helpless when it comes to the diseases of cattle and sheep, and has to rely entirely on the support of his backstage.

Although there are nominally two people working at the veterinary station, the villagers have long been accustomed to directly seeking help from the technically skilled Dr. Liu when they encounter problems. Ma Chang is merely occupying the position in name only, spending his days in a daze.

Seeing that Ma Chang was about to attack again, Xu Xiufang did not back down at all. She said in a firm and threatening tone: "You rely on your cousin's power to bully us honest villagers? If you dare to attack me again, I will report you to my superiors for using the backdoor."

Upon hearing this, Ma Chang's face suddenly turned pale. He knew very well that in this era, being reported was no trivial matter.

At the same time, he was surprised how Xu Xiufang knew his secret way of getting the job.

When did Xu Xiufang, who used to flirt with him, become so tough and courageous?

Shocked by Ma Chang's warning, Xu Xiufang took the candy and strode out of the store with her head held high.

Arriving at the door of the village party secretary's house, Xu Xiufang knocked lightly on the wooden door.

In the courtyard, the village party secretary and his family were sitting together happily enjoying their homemade cakes.

Seeing Xu Xiufang coming, the village party secretary hurriedly stood up to greet her, while his wife quickly hid the cake under the table as if by reflex.

The flustered and embarrassed look made Xu Xiufang feel mixed emotions. The reputation of the original owner as a lazy and gluttonous person was obviously deeply rooted in people's minds.

But her expression was as calm as water, and she handed the bucket full of fresh fish to the village party secretary calmly: "This is what Xie Yi caught while repairing the bridge. Considering that everyone has no time to fish during the busy farming season, I specially sent some to your family to add a delicious dish."

Upon hearing this, the village party secretary's wife hurriedly took out a pancake from under the table, with an apologetic and grateful look on her face: "You haven't eaten yet, right? This is the pancake we made for lunch today. It's especially delicious when rolled up with shredded potatoes."

The village party secretary took the bucket, smiling and sincere: "Your sister-in-law is from the north, and her skill in making pancakes is unique. Come and try one."

Faced with such enthusiasm, Xu Xiufang smiled helplessly but warmly: "Thank you for the hospitality. I did just have a meal. I will definitely not miss this delicious food next time."

"Village Chief, I actually want to ask you for a small favor. Xie Fei always likes to show off. He insisted on competing with me that time, and ended up losing a hundred yuan to me. He brought this upon himself, and I must get the money back no matter what."

When Xu Xiufang said this, her tone was filled with determination and helplessness.

Upon hearing this, the village chief nodded in agreement, his brows slightly furrowed, revealing a bit of urgency: "I have urged him time and again, but he is just being naughty and dragging his feet and refusing to pay. This time, let's go together. We can't let him default on his debt again no matter what."

I thought to myself that if I could successfully recover the money, it would not only solve the current problem, but might also add a touch of luster to my reputation.

Upon hearing this, the aunt immediately put down the work in her hands, gently poured the fish in the bucket into the prepared wooden basin, then handed the bucket back to Xu Xiufang and watched the two of them walk firmly towards Xie Fei's home.

As soon as I stepped into Xie Fei's courtyard, I was greeted by the fake smiling face of Xie Fei's wife Tian Liping.

"Hey, village chief, what brings you here? Is there something good? Aren't we all going to the brigade to watch TV tonight? It's really troublesome for you to come here in person."

Before Tian Liping finished speaking, the village chief had already stepped forward and stated his purpose directly: "I'm here to see Xie Fei. He hasn't paid back the money he lost in the last bet yet."

Tian Liping then noticed Xu Xiufang who was following closely behind the village chief, and her face suddenly became gloomy.

But she was always good at flattering people, and she smiled again in an instant, "Village Chief, how about you have a cup of tea and take a break first? My husband hasn't finished work yet."

After saying that, Tian Liping deliberately glared at Xu Xiufang, and turned her body to the side, cleverly placing Xu Xiufang out of the village chief's sight. Her intention was obvious.

Faced with this subtle exclusion, Xu Xiufang felt a little unhappy, but she knew in her heart that in order to get her own money as soon as possible, there was no need to get entangled with such a woman at this moment.

Tian Liping kindly invited the village chief to sit on the rattan chair in the yard, and then brought him a glass of cool boiled water in an attempt to ease the atmosphere.

Xu Xiufang, on the other hand, had a sarcastic smile on her face and sat down calmly. She didn't seem to care about the glass of water at all.

"Your Xie Fei owes me one hundred yuan. You should know that, right?"

Xu Xiufang went straight to the point without beating around the bush.

When Tian Liping heard this, the pink plastic sandals she was wearing, which were swinging lightly, suddenly stopped and she froze in place.

Her fingertips almost touched the tip of Xu Xiufang's nose, and her tone was full of disdain and provocation: "What nonsense are you talking about? How could my Xie Fei owe you money? If you are from the Third Brother's family, you should have some sense if you want to blackmail people, right?"
