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

Chapter 116 Social Death Scene
Wei Jingyuan didn't hear clearly what she said. He looked at her upturned nose and rosy little mouth opening and closing without blinking, revealing a subtle temptation.

Wei Jingyuan was shocked by the thought of not knowing what it tasted like.

For the first time, he realized that he had harbored such horrible thoughts about her. His Adam's apple rolled up and down several times before Wei Jingyuan could barely find his voice. "Don't you want to get up yet?"

When he heard the voice, Tao Qiuyi realized that he had been staring at him for a while, and he immediately became angry and embarrassed.

"Brother, sister-in-law." Li Zi's voice sounded at the door.

Tao Qiuyi and Wei Jingyuan looked over at the same time, only to see Li Zi standing at the doorway at some point, holding a bowl of food in her hand, looking at them with a bewildered expression.

It was truly a scene of social death. Tao Qiuyi covered her face and lay back on Wei Jingyuan's chest pretending to be dead.

Wei Jingyuan was embarrassed to be caught in such a scene by his sister, but Tao Qiuyi's behavior really shocked him. Instead of getting up immediately and keeping a distance from him, she lay back on his chest.

Looking down at the head buried in his chest, Wei Jingyuan sighed helplessly and raised his hand to pat her back. "Get up."

"No." Tao Qiuyi refused very straightforwardly.

"Li Zi is watching us." Wei Jingyuan reminded her.

Tao Qiuyi said sullenly, "It's because Li Zi is watching me that I won't get up."

Wei Jingyuan was truly defeated by her. He sighed, but no matter how awkward it was, he had to face reality. He coughed lightly and asked, "Lizi, is the fire still burning in your kitchen?"

Li Zi nodded blankly, but showed no intention of leaving.

Seeing that his sister didn't understand what he meant, Wei Jingyuan felt overwhelmed and simply said bluntly: "Aren't you afraid that the pot will burn?"

Li Zi was stunned for a moment, then screamed and turned and ran away.

"Li Zi is gone." Wei Jingyuan patted the back of the person in his arms again and said jokingly, "Don't you want to get up yet?"

"Who doesn't want to get up?" Tao Qiuyi quickly climbed off him, finding a good excuse for her own loss of composure and embarrassment. "If my elbow hadn't gone numb from hitting the ground when I fell, I would have gotten up long ago."

Wei Jingyuan climbed up next to her, his eyes darkening as he held her wrist. "Let me see which elbow was hit."

"Ah!" Tao Qiuyi was completely stunned.

"Which elbow did you hit? Let me see how serious it is." Wei Jingyuan repeated it again.

"No need." Tao Qiuyi broke free from Wei Jingyuan's hand and pretended to be calm as he patted the invisible dust off his clothes.

Just kidding, she said her elbow was numb because of the knock, but that was just an excuse. If she really showed it to him, she wouldn't be exposed.

Seeing her dodging, Wei Jingyuan thought she had just lost face in front of Li Zi and was angry! He said sternly, "You bumped your elbow. You can't just ignore it. Let me see if it's serious."

"It's okay." Tao Qiuyi waved his hand and put the money and tickets on the table back into his cotton coat pocket, actually back into the ring space.

Just as she put her wrist down, she was grabbed again. Tao Qiuyi was defeated by his persistence and simply rolled up her sleeves and swung her thin arms in front of him.

"I saw it clearly. It's okay, it's okay." After saying this unhappily, Tao Qiuyi put down his sleeves, picked up the basin of herbs on the table and walked out the door.

In the room, Wei Jingyuan stood there for a long time without moving.

Not long after Tao Qiuyi left, Li Zi came back with a bowl of food, put the bowl on the table, and pushed the herbs on the table aside to make a place for eating.

"Lizi, be careful not to spoil your sister-in-law's herbs." Wei Jingyuan walked over with his cane and sat down at the table. "Got it," Lizi smiled and nodded. Her brother had begun to cherish her sister-in-law's herbs. She was delighted and left the room.

Soon, Li Zi and Tao Qiuyi came in with rice and bowls, followed by Xiao Huai.

After the four of them finished their meal, Tao Qiuyi went to the kitchen, and Xiao Huai and Li Zi took the dishes on the table to the kitchen to wash them. Wei Jingyuan sat on a long bench with nothing to do, just looking at the herbs on the table.

I don’t know how much time passed, Wei Jingyuan looked at the door for the third time, and none of the three guys came back into the house.

Wei Jingyuan took the crutch beside him and just stood up when a slender figure walked in from the door. It was Tao Qiuyi.

Seeing him holding a cane, Tao Qiuyi asked casually, "Where are you going?"

"Go to the toilet." Wei Jingyuan replied calmly.

"Go quickly and come back soon." Tao Qiuyi walked over and put the bowls in his hands on the table.

"What is this?" Looking at the black medicinal juice in one bowl and then at the pure white paste in another bowl, Wei Jingyuan frowned unconsciously.

"These are the medicinal soup and ointment to treat your damaged tendons and veins." Tao Qiuyi pointed to the bowl of dark medicinal liquid. "The medicinal soup is for internal use, and the ointment is for external application. Using both together, your leg will heal faster."

Two-pronged approach, this is the idea in both Chinese and Western medicine, Wei Jingyuan nodded.

"Are you really sure you can cure my leg?" This question has been lingering in Wei Jingyuan's heart since Tao Qiuyi said she wanted to cure his leg.

Tao Qiuyi answered frankly, "Whether I can cure your leg, I can't guarantee it for now. It's a new prescription, so you have to try it to see if it works, right?"

She did not promise that she could cure his leg, which made Wei Jingyuan feel relieved.

Maybe, I have been disappointed too many times and I don’t care about this time.

"Even if it can't be cured, I won't blame you." Wei Jingyuan said softly, reached out to pick up the bowl of black medicine, raised his head and drank it all.

"Huh?" Tao Qiuyi looked at him in surprise.

Placing the empty bowl back on the table, Wei Jingyuan wiped the medicine juice from the corner of his mouth with his hand. "I'm serious. It doesn't matter if you can't cure my leg. I'm used to it. Don't feel pressured."

He didn't get used to it, but had to accept the reality.

She wanted to help him with his leg treatment out of kindness, and he didn't want her to feel pressured by it.

What the hell is psychological pressure? Tao Qiuyi raised her eyebrows. In her dictionary, there is no such thing as pressure, let alone psychological pressure.

"You think too much. I don't feel any pressure to treat your leg." Tao Qiuyi snorted and reminded him, "Don't you want to go to the bathroom?"

"That's it." Wei Jingyuan covered his lips and coughed lightly. His face returned to its usual cold expression, and he walked out of the house with his crutches.

Wei Jingyuan had just left when Xiao Huai walked in.

Putting a large wooden barrel on the ground, Xiao Huai said, "Sister-in-law, I got the barrel you asked for."

Tao Qiuyi walked over and looked at the big wooden barrel, nodded and said, "Yes, yes, this is the barrel I want. Thank you for your hard work, Xiao Huai. Go to the fireplace and warm yourself by the fire."

"I'm not cold." Xiao Huai shook his head, took out five yuan from his cotton-padded jacket pocket and gave it back to Tao Qiuyi, "Sister-in-law, Uncle Chen confiscated the money you gave me and asked me to bring it back."
