The Fat Wife of the 1980s Awakens

Although there was anger in Xu Xiufang's eyes, the knife in her hand only tapped the ground lightly, with the blade facing inward, as a demonstration without hurting anyone.

Even though she was surrounded and pulled by the crowd, she was still like an enraged lioness, with such momentum, as if she really wanted to seek justice for her sister.

Old Mrs. Guo fell to the ground, struggling with her limbs, trying to escape from this heart-wrenching scene, but fear was like an invisible chain that bound her movements, and she could only kick helplessly.

Xu Xiufang's voice resounded through the sky, and every word was like a sharp arrow, piercing Mrs. Guo's heart: "You old man, you usually turned a blind eye, but at the critical moment, you want to snatch the child? Is there an heir to the throne in the Guo family, or is there some hidden wealth hidden in your ancestral tomb?"

In this era of strict rule of law, once any secret is exposed, it must be handed over according to the law. People's eyes change subtly, full of doubts and scrutiny.

Old Mrs. Guo noticed the strange expressions of the people around her, and pointed her finger at Xu Xiufang with a trembling hand, but her throat seemed to be choked by something and she couldn't even utter a word of defense.

Xu Xiufang took the opportunity to add fuel to the fire: "It's really strange, your family never works in the fields, yet everyone eats well and has no worries about food and clothing. Where do you get all these benefits?"

There was obvious sarcasm in her voice. "On the other hand, my sister is so skinny that she's just a bag of bones. But you guys are as plump as if you had eaten ginseng fruit. If you weren't following the right path, how could you live such a comfortable life?"

These remarks were by no means fabricated out of thin air; the villagers had also heard privately about Guo Shunqiang's unknown secret.

Rob tombs and dig for treasures in exchange for gold and silver.

Naturally, those dirty money would not flow into Xu Xiaohua's poor little house. She didn't even know why her husband often disappeared mysteriously for several months.

The people at home were afraid that Xu Xiaohua would take away the money after knowing about it, so they kept everything secret from her.

But Xu Xiufang knew very well that Guo Shunqiang was not only a greedy tomb robber, but also a gambler who was addicted to gambling and would even abandon his wife and children if he lost.

In such a distorted family environment, how could she sit back and watch and let her sister continue to suffer?

Those who enjoy delicious food never think of sharing a soup or a meal with their sister; once they encounter difficulties, they always push their sister to be a shield.

When Mrs. Guo saw her family's scandal exposed by outsiders, she was so angry that her teeth chattered and she asked fiercely: "What nonsense are you talking about, girl! Get away from me! Why do you interfere in our Guo family's affairs and confuse right and wrong!"

Seeing this, Xu Xiufang sneered and told the aunts who were pulling her: "Search to see if there are really any pottery jars buried in their ancestral graves and what's inside. Let everyone open their eyes."

Her words were like sparks falling into dry wood, instantly igniting the villagers' long-suppressed curiosity.

Before Mrs. Guo could struggle to stand up and stop them, the crowd could no longer hold back and rushed towards the mysterious tomb on the back hill.

Some people shouted to their families while running, asking them to bring tools and get ready to find out what was going on.

At that moment, the quiet village was swept by a sudden storm and huge waves emerged.

Although everyone knew that the treasures they dug up had to be handed over to the village according to regulations, the anticipation in their hearts was not extinguished.

After all, the more precious the treasures handed in, the richer the reward will be. Who knows, you may even get a few pounds of delicious meat to add some flavor to these bland days and satisfy your long-standing desire for greasy food.

When it comes to Guo Shunqiang, the villagers all shook their heads. He always goes out alone in a sneaky manner, his whereabouts are mysterious, and he never shares any information with anyone. Such behavior makes people imagine a lot, and they secretly guess that he must be doing something unknown outside, and it is definitely not obtained through legitimate means.

He watched as his ancestral tomb was about to be turned upside down under the greedy eyes of the crowd.

Old Mrs. Guo's anxiety grew day by day. She no longer cared about disciplining her young grandson Yangyang. She hurriedly put on her shoes, took Guo Chunjie's hand, and chased after him towards the back mountain with staggering steps.

The child Guo Chunjie could only enjoy a full meal occasionally, all thanks to her hard-working father and brother who went out to search for valuable things and exchanged them for that little bit of hard-earned money.

Xu Xiaohua stood there in a daze, witnessing this scene, with an unprecedented shock in her heart.

She always thought that although this family was poor, there was at least a bond of kinship between the members.

Seeing her sister so dazed, Xu Xiufang shook her head helplessly, "Sister, you don't really think that our family can only survive on those few acres of barren land and the vegetables barely harvested from the small vegetable garden, right?"

There was a hint of sadness in her tone. "You work hard every day, but they enjoy extra food at home. The little money you earn is neither stable nor enough to support the expenses of the entire family. With your selfless labor, they can live such a stable life."

Hearing this, Xu Xiaohua's eyes were full of disbelief, and tears burst out like a flood.

It turns out that all the hard work over the years was rewarded with the whole family's vigilance and exploitation.

In this so-called home, she seemed to have never been treated as a real family member.

"Come on, sister, let's get divorced as soon as possible, otherwise one day in the future, when they get into trouble, they will blame you and use you as a sacrifice. That would be truly tragic." Xu Xiufang sighed, feeling mixed emotions.

She knew her sister had a gentle personality, but she never thought she was so naive.

In these ten years, who in the family has actually gone to the fields and worked hard?

But my sister always thought that all the burdens were on her shoulders.

Whenever Guo Shunqiang came home from outside, the insignificant living expenses he brought with him were all used for household expenses.

However, Xu Xiaohua was completely unaware that as time passed, her family members' faces were filled with healthy rosy glow, but she was the only one whose face was as pale as earth and whose body was getting thinner and thinner.

Holding back the pain in her heart, Xu Xiaohua wiped away her tears and temporarily stayed in Xu Xiufang's cottage with her child.

She had originally planned to return after staying for only three days, but the scenes that had just happened kept cutting into her heart, causing her so much pain that she could hardly breathe.

"Just live here peacefully. When that bastard Guo Shunqiang comes back, we must divorce him!" Xu Xiufang frowned.

Faced with her sister's cowardice, she felt distressed but helpless.

Xu Xiaohua whispered, "Actually, your brother-in-law treats me well and gives me dozens of yuan every month... If we really divorce, I won't even have a place to live, and the children will suffer and go hungry."
