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

Chapter 130 Taking turns to follow
Wei family.

Pushing the door open and walking into the house, Wei Laosan saw his mother sitting on the kang, still covered with a quilt. She rubbed her hands and said, "Mom, it's getting colder. If you feel cold, please heat up the kang."

"Yes! Mother, the third brother is right." Li Yuegui, who was sitting at the square table, echoed, "It's so cold during the day, and it's even colder at night. The kang in your room should have been heated long ago."

"It's really cold at night. I didn't light the kang to save some firewood." Li Hongying sighed. If it were in the past, she would have lit the kang a few days earlier.

In the past, Xiaoli and Xiaohuai, that bastard, would go to the mountain to collect firewood. She would always have enough firewood for whatever she wanted to burn. If she didn't have enough firewood, she would just order them to go to the mountain to collect more.

After the family split up, she and her eldest daughter-in-law moved out everything that could be moved from the kitchen, leaving not even a long piece of firewood.

But now they only burn firewood. No one goes to the mountains to collect firewood. Just cooking consumes a lot of firewood, so how can they dare to heat the kang?

"My dear mother, please don't let yourself get sick from the cold just to save some firewood." Wei Laosan walked to the kang with an exaggerated expression and touched it with his hand. "The kang is cold, mother, how can you ignore your health like this?"

Li Yuegui echoed, "Yes, mother, if you want to light the kang, then light it. There's no need to save firewood. At this time of year in previous years, you would have already lit the kang."

Li Hongying touched the quilt covering her legs and said, "I also want to heat the kang earlier so that I can sleep in the warmth of the quilt, but we only have so much firewood at home. We need it for cooking and heating the kang, and it will be gone in a few days."

"What's there to worry about after we've used them up? I'll just call Xiao Huai and Xiao Li tomorrow..." Wei Lao San stopped talking and said brightly, "We've split up, and I can't use those two little ones anymore."

Li Hongying sighed and said, "When the fog clears tomorrow, I'll go to the mountains to chop firewood."

Of course, she didn't really want to go to the mountain to chop firewood, she just said that for her two sons and daughter-in-law to hear.

Wei Laosan stopped talking immediately. He had never gone to the mountain to collect firewood since he was a child, let alone going to the mountain to collect firewood in such a cold weather. It would be so cold.

Li Yuegui did not agree because she did not want to go up the mountain to collect firewood.

On the other sides of the square table sat Boss Wei and Sister Zhou. The couple exchanged glances, each seeing mockery in the other's eyes. Sister Zhou finished the hot water in the cup in front of her.

"It's my turn to keep an eye on it." After saying that, Zhou Mei stood up and walked outside.

It was her turn to go outside and keep an eye on things, so she didn't have to listen to Wei Laosan and Li Yuegui singing the same tune to please her mother-in-law.

The money and tickets she had saved for so many years were stolen, and she just wanted to get them back as soon as possible.

"Sister-in-law." Wei Lao San called her, "I just saw Tao Qiuyi and Xiao Huai carrying a bucket of steaming medicine into the house. I don't know what they were doing. You just stay in the room next door and watch the door. You don't have to go out into the yard and get cold."

"Okay, I know." Zhou Mei responded and walked out.

Wei Laosan sat down at the square table. Li Yuegui poured him a cup of hot water and said, "Hurry up and drink some hot water to warm yourself up."

"It's so cold outside, it feels like it can freeze people to death." Wei Laosan took a big sip of the hot water, then held the porcelain cup with both hands to keep warm.

Seeing that her two sons and one daughter-in-law did not respond to her, Li Hongying was so angry that she wanted to hit them.

Boss Wei glanced at Third Brother Wei and questioned, "Mom, is it really useful if we take turns keeping an eye on Jing Yuan and the others like this?"

This afternoon, starting from the time Jing Yuan and the others came back, he, Zhou Mei, Lao San and Li Yuegui took turns going out to keep an eye on every move of Jing Yuan and the other three.

This idea was thought up by the third brother, who reasoned that if they stole the money, they would definitely be exposed and they could be caught red-handed. "It works, it definitely works," Wei Third Brother replied. "Look, big brother, if Yue Gui hadn't gone out to keep an eye on them, we wouldn't have seen Xiao Li carrying a pig's trotter into the kitchen. This means they went to town today."

"If you hadn't gone out to keep an eye on them, you wouldn't have seen Xiaoli making medicine in the kitchen."

"I just went out to keep an eye on them, and then I saw them coming out of the kitchen carrying a bucket of potion. If we don't keep an eye on them, we won't know anything."

"What's the use of us knowing all this?" Boss Wei sincerely felt that it was better not to know such trivial matters.

"Of course it works." Wei Lao San said confidently, "Jing Yuan and his friends went to town today and bought a pig's trotter. Whose money and ticket did they use? Could they have stolen it from us?"

"If the money and tickets they spent weren't stolen from us, why would they buy pig's feet? Everyone knows that pig's feet are just bones and skin, so it's not worth it to eat them."

"That's for sure." Li Hongying agreed with her third son, gritting her teeth and saying, "That little bastard stole my money and tickets and went to town to buy pig's feet to eat. He's deliberately trying to annoy me."

Boss Wei was speechless. He really wanted to remind his mother and brother that Tao Qiuyi had only received a reward of 1,000 yuan, and buying some food was not meant to annoy anyone.

To be honest, Boss Wei still doubts whether the money and tickets stolen from his mother, wife, and third brother's wife were stolen by Tao Qiuyi and Jing Yuan.

Today, Jing Yuan and Tao Qiuyi took their two children out in an ox cart, leaving no one in the house.

They thought this was a rare opportunity, so they discussed prying open the lock and entering the house to look for evidence.

Unexpectedly, I found a key at the door, thinking it was left by Jing Yuan and the others, so I picked it up and unlocked the door. Strangely enough, the key fit perfectly in the keyhole, but it just wouldn't open the door.

I tried to open the lock for a long time but couldn't, and the key broke in the keyhole.

"It's strange. Didn't that little guy guess that we blocked the keyhole? Why hasn't he come to make trouble with us yet?" Li Yuegui suddenly said.

She was somewhat accustomed to Tao Qiuyi's bad temper.

"Yeah, there's no movement over there, it's really strange." Wei Laosan touched his chin puzzledly and pondered.

"What else do you want?" Boss Wei asked angrily, "Do you want her to come over with a broom and beat us all up?"

"Not really." Wei Lao San smiled.

Boss Wei looked at him and reminded him calmly, "You forgot about the beating you received in Third Uncle's yard so quickly."

That was the greatest humiliation he had ever suffered in his life, and Wei Laosan shut up in anger.

As if he wasn't going to let Wei Lao San off, Boss Wei continued, "When they came back, I was the first one to watch. I saw with my own eyes that she grabbed the lock and twisted it gently. With a click, the lock was broken."

"She broke such a big lock with one twist. Her strength is incredible. If she had twisted your neck instead of the lock, it would have only taken a light twist."

After hearing what his eldest brother said, Wei Lao San's mind flashed back to the image of Tao Qiuyi strangling his neck with one hand. With a crisp sound, his neck was broken, and he immediately felt a chill on his neck.
