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

Chapter 127 is in trouble

Standing up and taking the thermos, Wei Jingyuan poured a glass of water in front of Tao Qiuyi, put the thermos back in its place, sat down again, picked up his own glass of water and continued drinking.

Putting down the lock holder casually, Tao Qiuyi picked up the cup of water and took a sip. The warm medicinal tea flowed through his throat, leaving a cool feeling.

This is a medicinal tea she specially mixed to deal with the dry air caused by the fireplace in the house.

"They only broke the lock of this room." Tao Qiuyi looked up at Wei Jingyuan and asked, "Do you think they thought all the things were in this room, or did they just randomly pick this room's lock to break?"

After a moment of silence, Wei Jingyuan slowly spoke, "I think they just wanted to come in and look for something while we're not home."

"Looking for their stolen money and tickets?" If this was true, Tao Qiuyi could only say that Li Hongying and her mother-in-law had lived in vain for the past few decades.

Innocently enough.

"They are certain that we stole the money and tickets, so they will naturally try their best to find evidence, and then..." Wei Jingyuan did not say the rest of the words, and his expression became more indifferent.

"Then send us all to the police station, and this house will belong to them." Tao Qiuyi finished what he hadn't finished, and then she laughed out loud.

As he laughed, the man lay on the table and laughed.

It was so funny. It was the first time that Tao Qiuyi met someone with such a simple mind and yet so vicious.

Seeing her laughing so hard that she almost fell on the table, looking so disheveled, Wei Jingyuan sighed helplessly and asked through gritted teeth, "Is it really that funny?"

"That's funny." Tao Qiuyi nodded, then laughed for a while before she could stop. She tilted her head and stared at Wei Jingyuan for a moment before asking, "Has your grandmother lived all these years in vain? Her thinking is so simple."

"I took their money and tickets, but instead of spending them outside, I left them in the house waiting for them to search. So why did I steal their money and tickets? Was it to get myself into trouble with the police?"

Wei Jingyuan remained silent, mainly because he didn't know how to respond to her.

It didn't matter whether he responded or not. Tao Qiuyi lazily lay on the table and asked again: "Your uncle and third uncle don't look like fools, so why did they let your grandma make a fuss?"

After thinking for a moment, Wei Jingyuan replied, "Maybe it's because every time Grandma makes a fuss, it's always these two families that benefit."

"So there are benefits to be gained. No wonder they let your grandma make a fuss." Tao Qiuyi nodded in understanding. "If I could get benefits, I would let your grandma make a fuss too."

Wait, benefits, Tao Qiuyi suddenly thought of something, she sat up straight, picked up the lock holder on the table, looked at it, understood, understood.

"Let's take a look." Pushing the lock seat in front of Wei Jingyuan, Tao Qiuyi lazily lay back on the table, as if he had no bones.

Picking up the lock seat, Wei Jingyuan mainly looked at the keyhole.

"The broken metal inside is the key." Wei Jingyuan was not asking, but confirming.

He had seen all kinds of locks and keys when he was in the army, and he was sure that the one broken in the keyhole was the key.

"It's a key." Tao Qiuyi smiled with interest, "But I'm more curious, how can they be sure that this key can open this lock?"

"Also, who gave them the key? They are not children. It is impossible for them to just pick up a key and open the lock. Someone must have told them that this key can open the lock."

I don’t know what he was thinking about, but Wei Jingyuan’s expression suddenly turned ugly.

"In that case, they are not here just to find their stolen money and tickets, and the more than a thousand yuan in your hands." Wei Jingyuan said in a deep voice.

If they weren't here for money, what else could they be here for? Tao Qiuyi and Wei Jingyuan looked at each other, and both of them thought of another thing.

What Captain Wen said.

At this time, Li Zi and Xiao Huai pushed open the door and walked in. Seeing the solemn atmosphere in the room, Xiao Huai asked, "What happened?"

"We are in trouble." Tao Qiuyi regretted what he said. Xiao Huai and Li Zi were still young, so it was better for them not to know some things.

The more you know, the more dangerous it is.

Li Zi walked quickly to Tao Qiuyi, held her hand and said, "Sister-in-law, no matter what troubles we encounter, don't be afraid. Brother, Xiao Huai and I will face it together."

"Hehe...hehe..." Tao Qiuyi was amused by her appearance. "Lizi, what do you think of the trouble I just said we're in?"

"I...I don't know." Li Zi shook her head.

Reaching out and pinching Li Zi's little face, Tao Qiuyi said, "Our biggest problem right now is healing your eldest brother's leg injury."

Li Zi thought about it and nodded heavily, "Yes."

Xiao Huai frowned and looked at Tao Qiuyi, trying to see something from her face. Unfortunately, Tao Qiuyi was such a pretentious person. If she didn't want you to see what she was thinking, you would definitely not be able to see it.

Even Wei Jingyuan might not be able to see it.

What’s more, he is a young boy named Xiao Huai who is not very experienced.

"Xiao Huai, in the bamboo basket at the end of the bed are the herbs your elder brother needs for foot bathing." Tao Qiuyi spoke loudly to Xiao Huai, then raised his hand and pointed at the dustpan on the stone.

"Lizi, go get the winnowing basket. I want to add some herbs to it."

Xiao Huai put the basin containing the pig's feet on the empty long bench, walked to the end of the bed, picked up the bamboo basket and went out.

He had been boiling herbs for his elder brother's foot bath for three days and had become very skilled at it.

Li Zi had already brought the winnowing basket and placed it in front of Tao Qiuyi. Tao Qiuyi used a cloth bag as a cover and took out the hundred-year-old ginseng given by Old Jiang from the ring space.

He opened the paper wrapping, tore off a ginseng root and threw it into the dustpan, then said softly to Li Zi, "Be good, go and boil some medicine for your elder brother."

Li Zi obediently carried the winnowing basket out.

Watching her quietly as she methodically instructed her younger siblings to do things, Wei Jingyuan couldn't help but smile. Her voice wasn't the kind that was crisp and pleasant, but rather soft and pleasant to the ear.

Watching her ordering her younger siblings around, he felt a sense of what family should be like. Ever since he was old enough to understand, he had never felt the warmth of family.

Before joining the army, he helped his parents with the work they had left over every day.

After joining the army, he came back no more than five times. Every time he saw his parents working, and his younger brothers and sisters came home from school to help them work.

It seems that all the housework is done by the second family.

After carefully wrapping the hundred-year-old ginseng, Tao Qiuyi was just about to use a cloth bag to cover the ring space when he caught a glimpse of the smile on Wei Jingyuan's lips, although it was not very obvious.

"What are you laughing at?" Tao Qiuyi asked. She was sure that it was a laugh.

The voice, which Wei Jingyuan considered soft, brought his wandering thoughts back. To hide his embarrassment, he coughed lightly and asked instead of answering, "How do you know I'm smiling?"

"My eyesight is beyond your imagination." Tao Qiuyi said half-truthfully.

"Clairvoyance?" Wei Jingyuan raised his eyebrows and looked straight into her bright eyes.
