Traveling through the 1970s: The young wife loves to make trouble

Chapter 110 He couldn't bear it anymore
Seeing Xiao Huai's grim expression, Li Zi also became worried. She clenched the branch she had just picked up and frowned as she asked, "That's not true. Can Grandma and the others let Wei Aiguo say that they saw us go into Grandma's room and steal the money and tickets?"

"Maybe." Tao Qiuyi said with a half-smile, "Given the unreasonable and troublesome personalities of your grandmother, eldest aunt, and third aunt, if they suspect we stole it, they will definitely come and search our house."

"We found money and bills. No matter who they belonged to, we'll insist they were stolen. This will just confirm the four of us are guilty of theft."

"What if we can't find it?" Li Zi asked nervously.

"We couldn't find anything." Tao Qiuyi's smile was a bit sinister. "Just say that they searched our house to help us clear suspicion. Comrade Li Hongying and the others are your elders. Even if we are angry, we dare not say anything."

Li Zi dropped the branch in her hand and murmured, "No...I can't."

If what my sister-in-law said is true, grandma and the others are so mean.

Xiao Huai said in a deep voice, "Why not? Grandma, my eldest aunt, and my third aunt are convinced that we stole their money and tickets. They won't give up until they've searched our house."

After hearing what his sister-in-law said, he was certain that the quilt must have been stolen by his third aunt when he was not paying attention.

Although his sister-in-law said that the quilt was not missing and had been placed on the bed in the room where he and his brother slept, and that he had forgotten it, he did not refute it at the time, but he knew in his heart that the quilt was indeed missing. He searched both rooms thoroughly but could not find it.

His eldest sister-in-law asked him to go to his fourth uncle's house to bring back the pears. After a while, the quilt appeared on the bed in the room where he and his eldest brother slept.

The eldest brother has difficulty moving, so it wouldn't be the eldest brother, it could only be the eldest sister-in-law. With the third aunt around, it is impossible for an ordinary person to quietly take back the quilt.

As for how his sister-in-law got the quilt back, he didn't know.

He was sure that his sister-in-law was not only strong, but also had other remarkable skills.

Tao Qiuyi said, "Xiao Huai is right. They will definitely come. We just need to wait. The three of us should finish chopping the firewood quickly so that we can help them search the house later."

She would find an excuse to go into the room and put all the food under the bed in Wei Jingyuan's room into the ring space.

"Lizi, go make dinner." After chopping the branches, Tao Qiuyi told Lizi, who had been picking up the branches, to cook. Then, thinking of something, he asked, "By the way, do we have any vegetables to eat at home?"

She remembered that they didn't grow vegetables.

"We don't have a vegetable garden." Li Zi shook her head and quickly added, "Sister-in-law, if you want to eat vegetables, I'll go to the mountains to dig wild vegetables tomorrow."

"No need. Neither of you is allowed to go into the mountains in the middle of winter." After saying that, Tao Qiuyi looked at Lizi, and when he saw Lizi nodded, he turned to look at Xiaohuai, who also nodded.

She smiled with satisfaction, put down the axe and walked into the house.

The first thing he did after entering the house was to put the food under the bed into the ring space. Then Tao Qiuyi took out the wood ear mushrooms he had picked before from the ring space and put them in a large leaf.

Then he walked out of the house.

"When I went to the mountains to look for herbs today, I picked up some wood ear mushrooms. Let's have cold-mixed wood ear mushrooms for dinner tonight." Tao Qiuyi handed the big leaf to Li Zi.

"Okay." Li Zi took the big leaf and looked at it blankly, her eyes widening in surprise. "It's too much. We can't finish it tonight."

My sister-in-law is really amazing. She can pick so many wood ears while looking for herbs.

Tao Qiuyi had just picked up the axe when he heard her say that, and smiled and suggested, "Leave the leftovers and don't cook them. Bring them over tomorrow when you go to help Fourth Aunt at her house."

"Okay." Li Zi responded crisply, and went into the kitchen with Mu'er to cook.

Xiao Huai tied up the branches on the ground with straw, while Tao Qiuyi chopped the dead tree into small sections. Today's dead tree was not very big, so it only needed to be split in the middle and thrown directly into the fireplace when needed.

Xiao Huai was quick, and almost as soon as Tao Qiuyi had chopped down the dead tree, he had tied it up and carried the branches into the kitchen to burn as firewood. When Tao Qiuyi brought the dead tree into the kitchen, he asked him to separate it from the previous firewood because this tree produced very little smoke when burning and was most suitable for burning in the fireplace.

After everything was done, Tao Qiuyi called Xiao Huai out of the kitchen.

"Xiao Huai, go to Uncle Chen's house and ask if he has a wooden barrel about this tall, big like this." Tao Qiuyi compared the width and height and instructed Xiao Huai, "If he has one, buy it. If not, ask Uncle Chen to make one for you according to the size and height I specified."

Tao Qiuyi took out five yuan and handed it to Xiao Huai, "Here's the money."

Xiao Huai nodded, took the money and went out.

Tao Qiuyi looked back at Li Zi who was busy in the kitchen. Since there was nothing she could help with, she went back into the house to sort out the herbs.

the other side.

Li Hongying's room is in the middle of the house and is also the largest one.

At this time, there was tea on the large square table in the room, and many people were sitting around the table.

Sitting at the top was Grandpa Wei San, with the old branch secretary and team leader sitting on either side. Sitting at the bottom were Wei Lao Da and Wei Lao San. Li Hongying, mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, were sitting on the kang.

The person with the lowest seniority in the room was Wei Jingyuan, who was only fit to sit on a small stool by the door and enjoy the cold wind.

Maybe because the argument lasted too long, no one wanted to talk at this moment, and the atmosphere in the room was a little weird.

At this time, a gust of cold wind blew in from the door. The old branch secretary who was sitting opposite the door shivered and tightened his old cotton jacket.

The old Party Secretary said to Wei Jingyuan, who was sitting by the door, "Jingyuan, you were seriously injured a few days ago. It's cold sitting by the door. Bring a stool in closer so you don't catch a cold."

"Thank you for your concern, old branch secretary. I'm not cold." Wei Jingyuan thanked the old branch secretary for his kindness and sat on the stool by the door without moving.

Taking one look at the new cotton-padded jacket he was wearing, the old branch secretary stopped talking.

"Jingyuan, come in and sit closer." The captain also said.

Wei Jingyuan also thanked his fourth uncle for his kindness and sat there without moving.

Wei Lao San said sarcastically, "Lao Si, you're just worrying about nothing. He's wearing a brand new cotton-padded jacket. Not to mention sitting at the door, he wouldn't feel cold even if he sat in the yard."

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone in the room focused their attention on Wei Jingyuan.

In fact, when Wei Jingyuan walked into the house, everyone noticed the new cotton-padded jacket he was wearing, but at that time everyone was thinking about different things because of the theft, so no one brought it up.

Now that Wei Lao San has said it, others who can't stand Wei Jingyuan doing well will naturally say a few sarcastic words.

"Jingyuan, Third Aunt isn't criticizing you. Your grandmother is old, but she's still wearing a cotton-padded jacket that was made a few years ago. How can you have the nerve to wear a new one?" Li Yuegui was the first to speak.

"Because my old cotton-padded jacket is no longer wearable." Wei Jingyuan directly retorted.

He is no longer like before, never saying anything back at others. No matter how others interpret things, it won't be good in return, so why should he tolerate it anymore?

He couldn't bear it anymore.
