The Fat Wife of the 1980s Awakens

But Zhou Xiaoyun...

His gaze turned to Xu Xiufang, only to see her with her hands on her hips and a determined look in her eyes.

Xie Yi smiled with relief in his heart, his previous worries seemed so unnecessary.

With Xu Xiufang's personality, how could she let Zhou Xiaoyun go so easily?

Mr. Xie was so angry at the series of rebukes that he collapsed to the ground, gasping for breath and shouting, "No, I'm going to die. My son and daughter-in-law are teaming up to deal with an old man like me. My old heart can't take it!"

The villagers' attention was attracted by this scene. Many of them were jogging with unfinished bowls in their hands, eating as they went, looking forward to the "good show" that was about to take place.

Seeing this, Xu Xiufang covered her face at the right time and complained with tears, "What a shameless old thing! You actually asked my sister to lower herself and serve you like a maid, bringing you tea and water, without even the most basic dignity. She even had to coax you to sleep. Is this how the Xie family bullies people? Oh, God, is there any justice in this world?"

Hearing this sudden cry, the villagers put down their chopsticks one after another and gathered outside the yard to talk about the matter before finishing their meals.

Mr. Xie was so angry at this sudden accusation that his face turned ashen. He pointed his finger at Xu Xiufang with a trembling voice, "You, you are slandering me. I have said this a long time ago!"

However, Xu Xiufang didn't care about his explanation and responded sharply, "You said yourself that your heart is not good, but now you look energetic, don't you? Over the years, our family has provided you with food, clothing, and pension money without a break for five years. You have enjoyed the fruits of our hard work, but now you bite us back and say that we are unfilial!"

She paused, her tone more resolute, "If I don't let my sister continue to serve you, you will falsely accuse us of beating you. You know right from wrong better than anyone else, who is lying!"

Xie Yi, who was listening quietly at the side, couldn't help but smile bitterly in his heart. He felt that this scene was like a competition to see whose words and deeds were more absurd. Both sides insisted on their own opinions and they were really the same.

Xie Kai was so frightened by this scene that he didn't even dare to breathe too hard. His usually timid nature was fully exposed at this moment.

When Old Master Xie saw his two good-for-nothing sons, he was filled with indignation and gnashed his teeth. "You two good-for-nothings can't even control your own wives!"

Xu Xiufang shouted, "If you have the ability, why can't you control your wife? How could she be involved in the dirty business of human trafficking with Zhou Xiaoyun? If the safety of the young and old in the village is threatened in the future, who will bear the responsibility?"

The villagers were whispering to each other and talking everywhere.

They only knew that Xu Xiufang had encountered bandits, but they never expected that there was such a complicated story behind it.

"Things like this must be dealt with seriously. It is simply intolerable that someone would do such a cruel thing to one's own people!" said a villager indignantly.

"I think that girl Zhou Xiaoyun is the root of trouble. Old Mrs. Xie is already old, how would she understand these complicated things?" another person continued.

Another person added, "That's true. Zhou Xiaoyun used to work in a restaurant in the city. That kind of environment is full of all kinds of people."

"No, we must go to the Zhou family and tell Old Mrs. Zhou the whole story. We can't let a bad apple ruin the peace of the entire village." Everyone talked about it and agreed.

A hint of cunning flashed in Xu Xiufang's eyes. This was exactly the result she wanted. The strategy of killing two birds with one stone had taken effect.

When it was late at night and everyone was asleep, he would find Zhou Xiaoyun alone and ask her mother to help her find a marriage partner so that she could get married as soon as possible and never see her again.

Old Master Xie was so angry at Xu Xiufang's words that he almost passed out. He barely held his breath and roared at Xie Kai, "You rebellious son, are you just going to watch me get mad to death?"

Xie Kai then woke up as if from a dream, hurried forward, and carefully supported his father.

Old Master Xie leaned on Xie Kai, leaning on a cane with one hand and pointing at Xu Xiufang with the other, and said angrily: "Listen to me, you must get out of the Xie family and disappear from Xiaoxi Village without a trace!"

However, Xu Xiufang hated it most when others pointed at her with objects, so she suddenly stepped forward and snatched the crutch.

He turned and walked to the pig pen, picked up a sharp hatchet, and chopped at the crutch without hesitation. With a "crack", the crutch broke. "Well, if it breaks, just burn it as firewood, so it won't be an eyesore."

After she finished speaking, she stared at the father and son of the Xie family with a fierce look, her eyes full of provocation and disdain.

Xie Kai wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and said in a low voice, "Let's go."

These four words seemed to be squeezed out from between teeth.

Mr. Xie's face was deeply wrinkled, with time and anger carving lines across his face.

Just as he was about to open his mouth to denounce Xu Xiufang, an unexpected force interrupted his outburst.

Holding a clothesline, Xu Xiaohua stormed into the center of the storm aggressively, with anger burning in her eyes that could not be ignored.

"You old stubborn man, if you don't leave now, do you really want me to teach you a lesson myself, so that you will lose face and be carried out of the house?"

The two sisters have had a tragic fate. If their mother had not passed away early, how could they have ended up in such a terrible family environment?

It's like escaping from a wolf's den with great difficulty, but unfortunately falling into the tiger's mouth. The hardship of life is hard for others to imagine.

Fortunately, my sister's husband is understanding and reasonable, and he is a little comfort in their miserable lives.

Facing Xu Xiaohua's challenge, Mr. Xie's face turned pale in an instant, his hands shook involuntarily with anger, and he grabbed Xie Kai beside him, as if he wanted to vent all his anger through this action.

"You are also a useless thing. You saw me being bullied and didn't even step forward to stop it!" His words were full of disappointment and anger, as if he wanted to expose Xie Kai's incompetence in front of everyone.

Xie Kai did not respond, but just endured it silently.

I thought to myself, even an experienced veteran like you is afraid of those two sisters, how can I, a mere scholar, fight against them?

He kept these thoughts locked deep in his heart. He knew that once he spoke them out, Mr. Xie would slap him mercilessly without mercy.

He chose to remain silent. He had neither the power nor the desire to intervene in the turmoil at home.

On the other side, Xu Xiufang dispelled the gossip that was like buzzing flies, and her mood immediately became much more relaxed.

However, Xie Yi was still conflicted and felt it necessary to have a good talk with Zhou Xiaoyun.

He sneered and thought to himself, do you really think of yourself as a commodity that can be manipulated at will?
