The Fat Wife of the 1980s Awakens

As Old Mrs. Zhou spoke, she deliberately wiped the dry corners of her eyes. Her acting was simply superb.

Aunt Ding was so anxious when she heard this that she asked, "Have you got the marriage certificate? This is a big deal!"

Old Mrs. Zhou raised her lips, her eyes gleaming with pride, and replied, "Go back to the village tomorrow to get the certificate. They can go to the Civil Affairs Bureau themselves. I don't care about this matter. The children have their own ideas."

Just as everyone was about to find out who this mysterious Boss Ma was, Old Lady Zhou had already spilled the beans, revealing all of Boss Ma's secrets.

Xu Xiufang, who was standing aside, frowned and felt something was wrong the more she listened.

Zhou Xiaoyun found her husband so quickly. The other party happened to be surnamed Qin, and was said to be a big businessman at the riverside dock.

According to Old Mrs. Zhou's description, Boss Ma was very wealthy and bought Zhou Xiaoyun all kinds of luxury goods, including gold and silver jewelry, bicycles, etc., and he almost granted all her requests.

Xu Xiufang felt mixed emotions and could no longer tolerate such exaggerated words and the metaphors behind them, so she exchanged a tacit look with Xie Yi and decided to leave this place of right and wrong, letting the discussions behind her surge like a tide.

But she knew clearly in her heart that Zhou Xiaoyun was no ordinary person. After all, this woman carried the wisdom and memories of her previous life, just like returning to the stage with an unpublished script.

However, as the story slowly unfolds, the plot seems to gradually deviate from the established trajectory, which is disturbing.

The male protagonist Xie Zhi has not appeared yet, and Zhou Xiaoyun's temperament has changed drastically. She is no longer the submissive and compromising image in the original book. She not only refuses the marriage with Ma Chang, but also launches her own plan beyond everyone's expectations.

All this made Xu Xiufang, a bystander, feel inexplicably panicked.

She seemed to have lost the eyes that could see through fate as before, and could no longer know the fate of the heroine as clearly as before. She could only be helpless and respond passively.

This feeling of weightlessness and powerlessness made her feel unprecedented discomfort.

Could it be that Zhou Xiaoyun has once again unleashed some unknown secret weapon, reversing the direction of the entire plot?

But if you think about it carefully, as a beloved character in the author's works, how could Zhou Xiaoyun be easily marginalized?

This thought made Xu Xiufang's anxiety grow like weeds, almost drowning her reason.

At this moment, Zhou Xiaoyun was nestling softly in Boss Ma's broad arms. On the surface, she seemed docile and obedient, but her heart was calm.

Thinking back to the marriage her mother forced upon her, she felt only disdain. She chose to ignore Old Lady Zhou's nagging in the most direct way.

She had deliberately approached Ma Chang before, but in fact she had a deeper goal, the uncle behind Ma Chang who was as rich as a country.

In her memory of her previous life, although they had never met, she knew very well that Boss Ma was not only the richest man in Zhijin County, but also a key figure who controlled the lifeline of the circulation of construction materials in the entire county.

All the sand, gravel and cement entering and leaving must pass through his dock. This strength is enough to impress anyone.

His wife was far away abroad, and she, a woman in trouble and eager to break free from the vampire-like bondage of her family, cleverly used this fake marriage to pave a way for herself to escape.

Since Boss Ma likes beautiful women, why doesn't she go with the flow and gain more practical benefits from it?

At this moment, she was snuggling in his arms and acting coquettishly. In fact, she was quietly making plans, all for the sake of a store of her own, a small dream that started from furniture and electrical appliances.

On the other side, the night in Dafang Village is dimly lit, the crescent moon is like a hook, and the silver light is pouring down, gentle and mysterious.

Xie Yi deliberately slowed down his pace and waited patiently for Xu Xiufang to follow.

In the fields, the lush green crops are full of vitality, but they can hardly cover up the silence of those ancient tombstones.

In the dead of night, the swaying dry grass on the grave and the scarecrow in black clothes appear and disappear in the wind, adding a bit of weirdness and solemnity to this land.

Faced with such a scene, Xu Xiufang couldn't help but feel nervous.

She moved quickly and carefully to Xie Yi's side. Apart from the occasional chirping of crickets, there was dead silence all around, which made the atmosphere even more eerie.

She hesitated for a long time, and finally managed to utter: "You...you are so brave."

As soon as she said this, she felt extremely embarrassed. It was not because she was shy in front of men, but simply because the environment was chilling.

Upon hearing this, Xie Yi's lips curled up into a barely perceptible smile.

He was quite surprised that Xu Xiufang, who was usually very bold, would be frightened by such a scene and her speech was incoherent.

He did not respond directly, but pointed calmly to an old tree with dense branches and leaves in front of him and said casually: "That tree, someone ended his life there."

Upon hearing this, Xu Xiufang exclaimed, with a hint of real panic in her voice.

She really wasn't pretending. The fear that came from the bottom of her heart was a reverence for the unknown and the underworld.

Xie Yi's sudden "horrifying" sharing gave Xu Xiufang a completely new understanding of him.

Driven by this uneasiness, she simply held Xie Yi's hand tightly, as if this could bring her a sense of security.

"Hey, can we talk some sense? You really scared me. As my upright partner, you have to take the responsibility of protecting me."

Xu Xiufang had an innocent look on her face, blinking her big watery eyes, and spoke half complainingly and half jokingly.

After she finished speaking, she slowly turned around and bowed deeply and solemnly towards the leaning old tree, as if she was performing an ancient ritual.

"Grandpa Dashu, I'm just a passerby. It's such a simple matter to buy a bottle of soy sauce. I really didn't mean to disturb your peaceful life. If you feel unhappy about something, please go and settle the score with the handsome guy standing there, and leave me alone."

After saying this, with a sly smile on his face, his eyes flashed cunningly towards Xie Yi.

Xie Yi's eyes inadvertently caught Xu Xiufang's slender fingertips pointing at his nose. He felt mixed emotions, half helplessness and half doting. He could only smile bitterly and remain silent.

He pondered secretly, and there was a voice in his heart that was about to move, but he didn't know whether to say it or not. The subtle embarrassment and depression could only be felt but not expressed in words.

Xie Yi tried to pull his hand away from Xu Xiufang's tight grasp, fearing that he would become her eternal "hostage" if he wasn't careful.

After all, this girl's mood changes faster than a summer thunderstorm, making it hard to guard against.

"Do you know why this guy chose to end his life here?"

Xu Xiufang suddenly moved closer, hugged Xie Yi's arms, and shook her head like a bell in the wind, with an innocent expression that said "I don't know and I don't want to hear."
