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

Chapter 13 The one who gave warmth to the original owner
Aunt Lotus was the only person who had shown kindness to the original owner. It was no exaggeration to say that in the seventeen years that the original owner had lived, the only warmth he had received since he was old enough to understand was from Aunt Lotus.

"Aunt Hehua, aren't you going out to work?" Tao Qiuyi greeted with a smile. She was using the original owner's body, and she would repay the only person who treated the original owner well.

"You silly girl, every time you get beaten you never tell me the truth, you just smile at me." Aunt Hehua rolled her eyes at her, then saw the bag on her shoulders and sighed, "It's better not to live in the Huang family. There's not a single good person in the Huang family. A whole family of rotten hearts and lungs will definitely not have a good ending."

"Although your grandfather is a murderer, he shouldn't beat or scold you at will. I heard that people in the city are very well-mannered. Look at that girl Huang Lingyu, you can tell at a glance that she has never suffered."

"The Tao family has never treated Huang Lingyu badly, but you are treated like a servant by the Huang family. Not only do they beat and scold you at will, but they also forbid you from leaving the courtyard. Just thinking about it makes me feel sorry for you. God is really blind. How could he let you take the wrong child?"

As she spoke, Aunt Hehua's eyes turned red and tears welled up in them.

"Oh, auntie, don't think about the past anymore. I didn't suffer any loss today. Huang Ying wanted to hit me, but I kicked her against the wall and she just got up now." Tao Qiuyi quickly spoke to comfort her.

Because they were next-door neighbors, Aunt Hehua knew very well what the original owner's life was like in the Huang family, and she felt very sympathetic towards the original owner.

In the past, whenever the original owner was beaten or scolded, as long as Aunt Hehua heard it, she would say a few words and scold the Huang family.

She thought she could help the original owner, but she didn't expect the Huang family to be shameless and heartless. Instead, they scolded her even more harshly and beat her even harder. Aunt Hehua felt guilty for a while after finding out.

After that, Aunt Hehua no longer scolded the Huang family. She only secretly threw a steamed bun to the original owner when the Huang family did not give her food, and comforted the original owner after she was beaten.

"You dare to kick Huang Ying?" Aunt Hehua was stunned and didn't believe her.

Tao Qiuyi smiled complacently, "What's there to be afraid of? Huang Ying wants to hit me, so it's only fair for me to kick her."

Aunt Hehua was amused by her and hit her arm.

I still didn't believe what she said, but I didn't expose her either.

"Okay, auntie will listen to you. Let's not think about the past and think about the future." Aunt Hehua grabbed Tao Qiuyi's hand and stuffed two candies into her hand.

"When you get to your grandfather's place, live a good life with him. If you're just being held in a different place, don't be too sad. Life is just like that, it doesn't matter where you live. I'll come to see you when I'm free. And if the Huang family comes to cause trouble for you, just beat them up like you did today."

Aunt Hehua just followed what Tao Qiuyi said, but she didn't expect her words to come true.

After hearing what Aunt Hehua said, Tao Qiuyi knew that Aunt Hehua didn't know that she jumped into the river to commit suicide and was rescued by Wei Jingyuan. She is currently staying in Wei Jingyuan's house and will not leave even if she is driven away.

She had so much to do that she had no time to explain.

"Okay, I'll listen to you, aunt. I have something else to do. We'll talk later." Tao Qiuyi nodded in response.

Seeing that she was really anxious, Aunt Hehua gave her a few more instructions and then let her go.

After returning to the Wei family, Tao Qiuyi threw the bag on the floor and went to the kitchen to look for the twins. The brother and sister saw that she had changed into relatively suitable clothes, and knew that she had been out, so they didn't ask anything.

"Is the meat ready? Can we eat now?" Tao Qiuyi asked as she walked into the kitchen. She smelled the aroma of meat.

"It's okay, of course." Wei Jingli replied softly, and reminded Tao Qiuyi, "But it's not even noon yet, and no one's back yet."

What does it have to do with whether they eat or not if everyone doesn't come back? Tao Qiuyi was about to ask, but suddenly remembered that people in this era are very simple and honest, especially respecting their elders, and there are endless people who are foolishly filial.

The elders are not home, so the younger generation can't eat alone. The elders of other families may be worthy of respect from the younger generation, but those people in the Wei family, hehe...

"Don't worry about others, let's eat our own food." Tao Qiu waved his hand indifferently and took the initiative to get the dishes and chopsticks.

Tao Qiuyi's things will not be given to those ungrateful old people.

She opened the lid of a wooden barrel, but there were no dishes or chopsticks inside. She opened a wooden cabinet, but there were none either. She looked around the simple kitchen and her eyes fixed on a large stone vat. She looked over and saw her shadow reflected in the clear water.

Where are the dishes and chopsticks? Tao Qiuyi frowned in confusion.

The twins looked at each other, neither of them could guess what she was looking for?
"Sister, what are you looking for?" Wei Jingli and Tao Qiuyi spoke the most, and it was Wei Jingli who asked the question.

"Bowls and chopsticks! How can we eat without them?" Tao Qiuyi looked at the two of them in frustration.

Wei Jinghuai twitched his lips, walked to an inconspicuous low cabinet, opened the door, bent down, took out three pairs of bowls and chopsticks from inside and placed them on the stove, then turned and walked around the pile of firewood.

After a while, a small table was brought out with three straw mats on it. Wei Jingli came over, took the straw mats and placed them next to the small table, then wiped the table with his sleeves. Wei Jinghuai put the dishes and chopsticks on the small table.

Tao Qiuyi felt sad when she saw the brother and sister's skillful movements. She sat down at the small table and watched the twins pack out the meat and steamed buns. Tao Qiuyi told them to leave a bowl of meat and steamed buns for Wei Jingyuan.

Watching the brother and sister's skillful movements, Tao Qiuyi felt sad. It is said that children from poor families grow up early, and these two siblings must have suffered a lot in the past.

Sitting at the small table, watching the twins work together to pack out the meat and steamed buns, Tao Qiuyi instructed them, "Leave a bowl of meat and steamed buns for your eldest brother."

They stopped at the same time and looked at Tao Qiuyi in surprise.

"What's the problem?" Tao Qiuyi was confused by their looks.

Wei Jinghuai didn't say anything.

Wei Jingli whispered, "I've never left food for Big Brother before."

"He didn't come back when you were having dinner. If you didn't leave any food for him, what would he eat when he came back?" Tao Qiuyi asked in surprise.

"Eat whatever is left. If there is nothing left, don't eat it." This time it was Wei Jinghuai who answered.

Wei Jingli nodded in agreement.

"Not eating, I understand it means starving?" Tao Qiuyi looked at Wei Jinghuai and asked. Seeing him nod, an indescribable emotion surged in his heart.

Does Wei Jingyuan often go hungry, or does he go hungry only occasionally?
Looking at the brother and sister's faces that were so thin that only skin and bones were left, Tao Qiuyi suddenly realized that not only Wei Jingyuan, but Li Zi and Xiao Huai might also have eaten the leftovers. If there was no leftover food, the two of them would have nothing to eat.

You haven't eaten enough for a long time and your nutrition is insufficient. No wonder you are so thin.

"Lizi, Xiaohuai." Tao Qiuyi stood up and walked over to the siblings, looking at them seriously. "Before, you didn't think about saving food for your eldest brother, but from today on, you should. A family shares joys and sorrows, and the same goes for delicious food. It tastes better when everyone in the family enjoys it."
