The Fat Wife of the 1980s Awakens

"No, I'm so hungry that I can't see stars. I won't even have the strength to walk with you later."

She deliberately exaggerated her discomfort in an attempt to attract Ma Chang's attention.

Ma Chang looked around anxiously, having no idea how to deal with such a stubborn Xu Xiufang.

At this moment, she suddenly had an idea and pointed to a narrow alley not far away. "You wait here for me. I'll take a shortcut and ride my bike to buy it. I'll be back soon."

Xu Xiufang silently calculated in her heart that this was a gamble. She was betting that Ma Chang would insist on taking her to the hotel in order to successfully obtain the generous reward.

As expected, Ma Chang was afraid that the opportunity he had finally obtained would slip away, so he quickly responded, "No, I'll go with you."

Xu Xiufang smiled at Ma Chang, her face warm and bright.

"I knew you were the best." She spoke softly, her tone gentle.

Hearing this, Ma Chang's tense nerves relaxed a little, and the worry about the agreed time in his heart seemed to be lightened a little.

His eyes revealed his eagerness and his pace quickened involuntarily.

"Hurry up, I'm more anxious than you."

Xu Xiufang sensed Ma Chang's impatience and silently quickened her pace.

But a subtle expression that was hardly noticeable appeared on her face.

Suddenly, Xu Xiufang took two steps back vigilantly, spotted the brick on the ground with her sharp eyes, and picked it up swiftly.

She held her breath, concentrating all her attention on the weapon in her hand.

At this time, Ma Chang was immersed in his own thoughts and was completely unaware of the unusual movements behind him.

It was not until the surroundings became unusually quiet that he suddenly remembered the price he paid for his carelessness last time. Startled, he turned around hastily, but it was too late.

The brick in Xu Xiufang's hand was originally intended to give Ma Chang a "surprise" on the back of his head, but because of his sudden turn, the trajectory was slightly deviated and hit him right in the face.

At that moment, the air seemed to freeze.

"Oh my god, are you teasing me again?" Ma Chang's voice was mixed with anger and disbelief.

Xie Yi, who was not far away, witnessed this scene and the anger in his heart instantly dissipated, replaced by an inexplicable sense of relief.

He rubbed his forehead, feeling both surprised and relieved at Xu Xiufang's transformation. His previous suspicion made him smile self-deprecatingly, and then he turned and left, leaving the next matter to Xu Xiufang to handle.

Ma Chang covered his bleeding nose, angrily, and vowed to find Xu Xiufang to seek an explanation.

Xu Xiufang was calm and composed. She deliberately unbuttoned the top button of her shirt. Her messy hair could not hide the wit in her eyes. Then she deliberately shouted loudly, "He's a hooligan! Come and catch him!"

The shout caused Ma Changgang's raised hand to freeze in mid-air, and he quickly retracted it.

Faced with such an accusation, Ma Chang dared not stay and ran away immediately.

Just at this moment, several patrolling militiamen appeared at the entrance of the alley. Hearing the cry for help, they immediately rushed into the alley like arrows.

Xu Xiufang's clothes were disheveled. She covered her face in pretended fear and pointed to the distance with tears in her eyes: "The gangsters ran over there."

Upon hearing the news, the militiamen quickly launched a manhunt.

Soon, Ma Chang's painful wail was heard from the alley on the left.

Although Xie Yi had already walked away for some distance, he was still amused by this sudden turn of events. With a smile on his face, he shook his head.

This series of events undoubtedly pushed the two people to an unexpected direction - the police station.

With tears in her eyes, Xu Xiufang slowly walked towards the two militiamen, her voice trembling but pleading: "He is from our village, there may be some misunderstanding, can I talk to him alone?"

Her tears seemed to really touch people's hearts. The two militiamen exchanged glances and finally decided to give her this chance.

On the other side, Ma Chang, with a bruised face and bloodstains, leaned against the wall, his teeth chattering, his heart filled with resentment and anger: "Xu Xiufang, you are so good, I believed you, but you stabbed me in the back."

Xu Xiufang gently blinked her eyes that seemed to be able to speak, with innocence flashing in her pupils and the corners of her mouth slightly raised, "Doctor Qin, you see, I am afraid of your iron fist in my heart. When I get nervous, the words slip out of my mouth."

She deliberately made her voice soft and sweet.

Upon hearing this, Ma Chang's cheek muscles twitched with anger, and his fists were clenched so tightly that even his knuckles turned white.

If it weren't for the militiamen standing guard on both sides of him with sharp eyes and staring at him closely, I'm afraid he would have already lost control of his anger and rushed forward.

His eyes were bloodshot due to the agitation of emotions, and he stared: "Really?!"

Xu Xiufang continued to smile, with the corners of her mouth curved just right, revealing a bit of playfulness and cleverness: "Hey, Doctor Qin, calm down. Tell me who instigated you to do this, and I will immediately explain to these militia brothers that this is purely a huge misunderstanding."

Hearing this, Ma Chang's eyes, which were originally extremely angry, seemed to flash with a hint of hesitation.

He knew very well that his fate now hung on a word from Xu Xiufang.

On one side is the hundred-dollar bill that can free him, and on the other side is the possible jail time.

After weighing the pros and cons, Ma Chang's mind was naturally as clear as a mirror, knowing what was unimportant and what was heavy, without any further explanation.

"To be honest, it was Zhou Xiaoyun and Xie Fei who asked me to do this." Ma Chang confessed.

The current situation is extremely unfavorable to me, and I can only hope for Xu Xiufang's fairness.

"Xie Fei said I owed him money and he wanted an explanation, while Zhou Xiaoyun said I ruined her reputation and brought up that unpleasant argument."

Ma Chang poured out the secret in his heart in one breath, his eyes fixed on Xu Xiufang's face, his eyes full of expectation, hoping that she could say a few fair words.

After hearing this, Xu Xiufang narrowed her eyes slightly and had her own thoughts in mind.

Fei's purpose is far more than just recovering the money, he also covets Ma Chang's real estate, and Zhou Xiaoyun is undoubtedly plotting to get closer to the Xie family.

Xu Xiufang pursed her lips, secretly wondering whether she should let Ma Chang learn a lesson.

After thinking for a moment, she suddenly smiled and said cunningly, "Doctor Qin, didn't you say you wanted to buy me some clothes today? You also know that I'm short of money recently."

Upon hearing this, Ma Chang hurriedly groped from the depths of his trouser pocket and finally pulled out a wad of crumpled bills, about a few dozen yuan, and presented it with both hands, full of sincerity: "Sister Xiufang, you can pick something fancy and beautiful, and dress up beautifully."

Xu Xiufang took the money skillfully, and with her nimble fingers she took out two small-denomination bills, and quickly and discreetly put the remaining fifty or sixty yuan into her pocket.

Then, she held the two dimes in her hand and suddenly raised her voice, pretending to be indignant: "Doctor Qin, this won't do. You want to bully me and get rid of me with these two dimes? This is too much!"

Ma Chang was completely shocked by Xu Xiufang's sudden change and was at a loss as to what to do. He just stared at her blankly with a confused look on his face.
