Chapter 131 Dream on

Perhaps because the bed was too cold, Li Hongying suddenly remembered the scene where Tao Qiuyi dragged the dead tree back with her bare hands. She sighed and said, "Her strength is really scary to be able to drag the tree back."

Li Yuegui nodded. "If we had known she was so capable and strong, we wouldn't have made an enemy of her. If we get along well with her, we might even gain some benefits."

Now, whenever Li Yuegui thinks of the 1,000 yuan reward from Tao Qiuyi, she feels very regretful.

"Benefits? You still want benefits from her? Dream on." Li Hongying snorted coldly, "I don't know what she did, but the public security comrades personally brought people to give her a reward of 1,000 yuan. Let's see if she gave you any benefits?"

Boss Wei said, "Mom, you can't say that. She just received a 1,000 yuan reward, and we're saying the money and tickets were stolen. And we specifically pointed out that she stole them. Anyone would suspect that we're after her bonus."

"She did steal my money and tickets." Li Hongying's eyes turned red when she talked about her stolen money and tickets.

"Do you have any evidence?" Boss Wei asked the question that Wei Jingyuan had been saying that day.

Unexpectedly, her eldest son would also use this sentence to stop her. Li Hongying glared at Wei Lao Da, shaking with anger. "I have no evidence and it was also her who stole it. There were only four of them at home that night."

"Weren't Jing Yuan and the other four the only ones at home that night?" Boss Wei said, looking at Li Yuegui. "My third brother's wife was also home."

"Brother, what do you mean?" Li Yuegui's face changed, her eyes widened, and she looked at Boss Wei in disbelief.

"It's nothing, just telling the truth." Boss Wei looked back at her.
Wei Laosan spoke directly and angrily asked, "Brother, do you suspect my wife stole the money and tickets?"

"Brother, how could you doubt me? Our family's money and tickets are..." Li Yuegui couldn't continue, tears quickly welled up in her eyes, and she covered her face with her hands and cried.

"Boss, are you out of your mind?" Li Hongying also joined in the attack on Boss Wei. "It was clearly Tao Qiuyi and the others who stole our money and tickets. Why are you suspecting Yuegui?"

"Have you forgotten that the money and tickets that Yuegui and Lao San had saved for their son's marriage were also stolen?"

Boss Wei explained: "Mom, that's not what I meant, I..."

"You don't need to explain anymore. I don't want to hear your explanation." Li Hongying interrupted Wei Lao Da and pointed at the door. "Get out. Just looking at you makes me upset."

Boss Wei knew that his mother was really angry. He touched his nose, stood up and walked towards the door.

She gave Wei Laosan a look, but when Wei Laosan ignored her, Li Hongying glared at him fiercely. What's the point of giving birth to sons? You can't rely on any of them.

Li Hongying walked over to Li Yuegui and comforted her, saying, "Yuegui, don't cry. The boss doesn't really doubt you. He just said that."

"Mother, you don't have to comfort me." Li Yuegui said in a tearful voice, "I know that my elder brother is not just talking nonsense. He just suspects me. How could he suspect that I stole the money and tickets?"

As she said this she started crying again.

"Hey, why are you crying again? You really misunderstood your eldest brother. He really didn't doubt you." Seeing that persuading her was no use, Li Hongying turned around and called Wei Lao San, "Lao San, why don't you come over and comfort your wife."

Wei Lao San said indignantly: "Mom, although my eldest brother didn't say it explicitly, we all understood what he meant. He just suspected that my wife stole your and my eldest sister-in-law's money and tickets."

"That's too much. I won't say anything good for him. He wronged my wife. He must apologize and compensate her for the harm she has suffered."

This person is not an easy person to deal with either. Li Hongying sighed helplessly and continued to comfort Li Yuegui.

On the other side, inside the house.

Sitting on the edge of the bed, Wei Jingyuan flipped through a medical book, his legs soaked in the medicine. Half an hour later, after adding hot water to the wooden barrel three times, the medicine was almost up to his knees. The height of the wooden barrel was just above his knees.

"It should be here in half an hour." Wei Jingyuan put the medical book in his hand on the edge of the bed and looked up at Tao Qiuyi.

"It's not should, it's already arrived." Tao Qiuyi said affirmatively, peeling melon seeds in her hands without stopping. There were three small piles on the table in front of her.

On both sides are unpeeled melon seeds and melon seed shells, and in the middle is a small pile of peeled melon seed kernels.

"Don't move." Wei Jingyuan was about to move his injured leg soaked in medicine out of the wooden barrel when Tao Qiuyi stopped him. He had no choice but to continue soaking it.

Tao Qiuyi didn't look at Wei Jingyuan, but at Xiao Huai, who was sitting across the table cracking melon seeds. "Xiao Huai, go and fill the pot with the remaining medicine."

"Okay." Xiao Huai put down the uncracked melon seeds in his hand, stood up and carried the iron bucket out of the room.

Xiao Huai went out and Tao Qiuyi continued to peel melon seeds. Wei Jingyuan glanced at her, asked nothing, and picked up the medical book to continue reading.

Tao Qiuyi grabbed all the melon seeds in the middle of the watermelon in his hands, put them in his mouth and chewed them, squinting his eyes with a look of enjoyment.

After eating the melon seeds, Tao Qiuyi picked up the teacup and took a sip of the herbal tea. He slowly said, "I slightly changed the prescription and dosage. You should soak your legs for a little longer."

"Yeah." Wei Jingyuan hummed lightly, indicating that he understood.

"Feel your injured leg now, how do you feel?" Tao Qiuyi suddenly asked.

Feeling? Wei Jingyuan immediately felt it carefully and said calmly, "Apart from the water temperature slowly dropping, there wasn't much else to feel."

"The lack of feeling is only temporary. Soak for a while longer..." Tao Qiuyi automatically cut off the rest of the words, stood up and walked to Wei Jingyuan, squatted down beside the wooden barrel and tried it.

Wei Jingyuan looked at her in confusion.

Standing up, Tao Qiuyi looked at Wei Jingyuan with a half-smile, "You can feel the water temperature dropping on your injured leg, right?"

His whole body froze, and the medical book in Wei Jingyuan's hand fell...

Tao Qiuyi quickly caught the medical book and threw it on the table. She had read it before and knew that it was a unique copy and would be ruined if it fell into the water.

Wei Jingyuan had come back to his senses at this moment. He suddenly looked up at Tao Qiuyi, with a complex light in his eyes.

Yes, his injured calf had no feeling in the past two years. He could feel the water temperature dropping, which meant that his injured calf had regained feeling.

There was shock, disbelief, and something else in Wei Jingyuan's eyes, which Tao Qiuyi couldn't quite understand for a moment.

After giving Wei Jingyuan about a minute to adjust, Tao Qiuyi continued, "If I were to ask you now when you regained feeling in your calves, you probably wouldn't have noticed."

"But this is not important. The most important thing now is the next treatment. I hope you can be mentally prepared."

"What do you mean I should be mentally prepared?" Wei Jingyuan asked, his tone no longer cold but with a hint of anticipation.
