The Fat Wife of the 1980s Awakens

Xu Xiufang frowned and said, "Don't point your finger at me. Are you really not aware of what he did? How could you, as his wife, not know about it?"

At this moment, Xu Xiufang's questioning was like a slap in the face, hitting her self-esteem hard.

Her face flushed red as she approached Xu Xiufang, her eyes flashing with ruthlessness: "Old Third, I haven't settled accounts with you for stealing the land certificate and occupying the new house in the past, and now you're asking for money again? Is Old Third disabled or crippled? Since your family can't make any money, you're asking us for help?"

Xu Xiufang shook her head repeatedly. She was always resilient.

Now that she was already here, she planned to seek justice for herself according to the rules here.

"Most of the money for the new magnificent house built by the Xie family was given by my Xie Yi! His stable monthly salary is much more than what Xie Fei earned from working hard in the cotton mill for half a year, right? Keep your mouth shut! Let me hear you cursing my head of the family again!"

Xu Xiufang's voice was as cold as ice, and every word she said seemed to carry a sharp edge.

Tian Liping sensitively caught the coldness hidden in Xu Xiufang's eyes, and inexplicably felt a chill rising up her spine.

Just when the atmosphere was tense, Xie Fei, who worked three shifts, appeared at the doorstep, exhausted, riding his old bicycle.

Tian Liping hurriedly put on her slippers, her steps a little messy, and trotted to meet him.

She put her hands on her waist and asked Xie Fei directly: "When did you borrow money from the third brother's wife without my knowledge? How come I, the head of the family, didn't know about it?"

Xie Fei's eyes swept across the village party secretary sitting in the yard and Xu Xiufang, who had a sullen look on her face, and his heart was pounding.

Asking him to take out a hundred dollars at once felt like cutting off a piece of flesh from his own body, the pain was unbearable.

"That's not possible." He forced a calm smile and leaned his bicycle aside with a slightly stiff movement.

The village party secretary was eager to clear himself of suspicion, but was unwilling to waste too much time on such trivial matters.

His wife at home is still waiting for him to come back to help prepare feed for the pigs, and life must go on.

So he pulled out an IOU from his pocket and slammed it heavily on the mottled wooden table: "It's written in black and white, the evidence is irrefutable, do you still want to deny it?"

Xie Fei stared at the thin piece of paper, feeling an indescribable irritation in his heart.

He was already sweating from riding, and now he was so anxious that beads of sweat rolled down his forehead like pearls from a broken string.

"Stop dawdling and take out the money quickly. I have other things to do." Xu Xiufang urged impatiently.

Xie Fei stared at Xu Xiufang with his sharp triangular eyes: "Just because of a ridiculous bet, you want to blackmail me so much? Don't even think about it! I don't have any money, but I have my life. This is my answer."

Although he was extremely anxious, he forced himself to take a deep breath and calm himself.

Maybe, if we delay a little, things will turn around.

Seeing this, the village party secretary was a little impatient: "Why didn't you think it through when you signed?"

Xie Fei said with disdain: "As the village party secretary, can you tolerate villagers winning money through gambling? Isn't this breaking the law knowingly?"

Seeing this, Tian Liping took the opportunity to shake her shoulders and launched a fierce verbal attack on Xu Xiufang: "You are an idle person. You can't earn money honestly, but you spend all day thinking about blackmailing others. Do you still have a sense of shame?"

Xu Xiufang felt sick when she heard Tian Liping's sarcastic words. She was too lazy to argue with her and remained silent.

Seeing that her attack seemed to have worked and that neither the village party secretary nor Xu Xiufang refuted, Tian Liping became bolder and cursed at Xu Xiufang with spit flying everywhere. She pointed her finger at Xu Xiufang fiercely and said, "You unlucky star, get out of my house right now, or we won't have a peaceful life for the whole year!"

The village party secretary frowned, unable to bear the situation. In desperation, he handed the IOU to Xu Xiufang, trying to calm the situation down: "Xie Yi's family, since they are really short of money, why don't we be more generous, do you think this will work?"

Xu Xiufang remained silent, as if considering this sudden proposal.

"As the village representative, I allow you to pick a chicken from Xie Fei's house and take it away as repayment of your debt. What do you think?"

There was a hint of helplessness in the words of the village party secretary, and it was obvious that this matter was also quite troubled for him.

Xu Xiufang pursed her lips slightly, and finally said lightly: "Okay."

This scene made Tian Liping's anger suddenly boil over.

The village chief actually acquiesced to Xu Xiufang coming to her house to catch the old hen that laid eggs. How could this be something that could be agreed to casually?

The resentment and anger in my heart almost overflowed from my chest.

She was about to take a firm step forward to stop this unfair scene, but unexpectedly, Xie Fei was quick-witted and grabbed Tian Liping tightly. He forced a bitter smile and said in a deep voice: "Since the village chief represents the will of the whole village, as a member of the village, how can we not support the village's decision?"

After saying this, his eyes flickered, as if he was weighing something.

When Xu Xiufang saw this scene, she felt an inexplicable smile well up in her heart and she almost couldn't hold it back.

She walked to the chicken coop in a swift and skillful manner, picked up two hens with plump feathers easily, and said with a leisurely smile on her face, "Thank you, Village Chief. I'm welcome."

Tian Liping felt a sharp pain in her heart as if she was pricked by a needle. She wished she could break free from Xie Fei's restraints immediately, rush forward to argue with Xu Xiufang, and even pull a few strands of her hair to vent her anger.

But helplessly, she could only watch, anger burning in her chest.

Xu Xiufang carried the spoils and set off on her journey home without looking back.

She would not give up this mere hundred yuan.

But even if the village chief himself stepped in, he couldn't get it back, and it seemed pointless to continue arguing.

She had already made up her mind - Xie Fei worked in a cotton mill and his family had always been frugal. If she took the IOU directly to his unit, how could she not get it back?

To take a step back, even if the factory leaders did not buy it, she had a backup plan, just like the original owner had done, to make a scene at the Agricultural Machinery Bureau and let everyone know about it.

Under the pressure of keeping his job, Xie Fei would inevitably pay the money honestly.

What's more, she will go into the city tomorrow to find a place to set up her stall. She has the IOU in her hand, so why should she rush?

Xie Fei looked at Xu Xiufang's figure gradually walking away, and the tense string in his heart finally relaxed.

I originally thought that Xu Xiufang was a difficult character, but now it seems that she is just someone who is easy to manipulate.

When she returned home, Xu Xiufang slaughtered a hen to nourish Xiaobao, and kept the other one for laying eggs.
