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

Chapter 144: Practicing Walking
How could she tell? Zhou Mei was stunned by the question.

She didn't see it from somewhere, she just had a feeling that Tao Qiuyi was the one who caused Wei Jingyuan's injured leg to heal.

"I didn't notice it, I just thought it was her." Sister Zhou walked to the kang and sat down, saying whatever she was thinking: "Think about it, from the time Tao Qiuyi jumped into the river to commit suicide, to the time Wei Jingyuan rescued her from the river and brought her back to our home."

"After that, so many things happened in our family."

"You're right." Boss Wei nodded in agreement. "When she kicked me and the third brother, I felt she was quite strong. Later, she also beat you, mother, and the third brother's wife."

"It's understandable that you and the third son's wife were beaten so badly by her because you were weak. But it's strange that my mother, who is well-known in the village for her strength, was beaten so badly that she didn't even have a chance to fight back."

Listening to Boss Wei talking about this, Zhou Mei recalled some illogical things. "Yeah, I didn't think so at the time, but now that you talk about it, it's really strange."

"She even dared to go deep into the mountains and catch pheasants and rabbits, and brought back a basket of mushrooms and fungus. Isn't that strange? I know only too well how dangerous the mountains are."

"The young and middle-aged laborers in the village would be terrified if ten of them went into the mountains together, let alone one person."

"How could she dare to go into the mountains alone and bring back pheasants, rabbits, and a bunch of mushrooms and fungus?"

"If you say that, what's the matter with that little splasher?" Zhou Mei couldn't wait to ask: "Where does she get such great strength and skills?"

"I don't know." Boss Wei shook his head. This was also something that puzzled him.

Rolling her eyes in annoyance, Zhou Mei said, "I don't know. What's the point of you saying so much? Now we can't beat her, and we can no longer take advantage of their second branch."

"My money, Li Yuegui's money, and my mother's money were stolen. I have no idea whether it was Wei Jingyuan and Tao Qiuyi who stole it. I...my money, I..."

As she spoke, Zhou Mei's voice choked and she wanted to cry again.

"You said..." Boss Wei hesitated and asked, "Does the Huang family know that Tao Qiuyi is so capable?"

"I definitely don't know." Suppressing the urge to cry, Zhou Mei said firmly: "If I knew she was so capable, wouldn't it be better for her to stay at home and work like a slave for them?"

"Even if their biological daughter comes back, it won't affect them ordering Tao Qiuyi around to do work."

Boss Wei nodded, "That's true. If the Huang family knew how capable she was, they definitely wouldn't kick her out."

Suddenly grabbing Wei Lao Da's hand, Zhou Mei said, "Boss, I suddenly feel that Tao Qiuyi is making such a fuss just to force us to split up the family and separate their second branch."

"If we hadn't split up, everyone would have had a share of everything she brought from the mountains or the rewards from the police. Now that we've split up, everything belongs to her family. Wei Jingyuan's injured leg has healed, and the second branch's life..."

Zhou Mei couldn't continue speaking. She was already gritting her teeth in hatred. If Tao Qiuyi was in front of her, she might have pounced on her and tried to kill her.

"Great! This kid is really scheming." At this moment, Wei Lao Da also reacted and trembled with anger. "Come here, tomorrow you go and tell Mom this..."

At this time, the courtyard door was pushed open, and Tao Qiuyi walked in carrying a backpack and a cloth bag in his hand.

Maybe it was too cold, there was no one in the yard.

As soon as I reached the door of the house where Wei Jingyuan and Xiao Huai lived, the door opened from the inside, and Li Zi smiled foolishly with her big teeth bared.

"You found some money, so why are you so happy?" Tao Qiuyi asked casually, walked into the house, put the cloth bag in his hand on the ground, and then put down the backpack.

Li Zi closed the door and bolted it. Hearing the sound, Tao Qiuyi turned back to look at Li Zi, who still had that silly smile on her face. He scanned the room again. Wei Jingyuan was sitting on the edge of the bed, and Xiao Huai was standing by the table.

Even without saying anything, Tao Qiuyi could feel the joy from the bottom of the hearts of the three people.

There is only one thing that can make all three of them happy. Tao Qiuyi's gaze fell on Wei Jingyuan's face, slowly moved down, and finally stopped on his injured leg.

"You can stand up now." Tao Qiuyi was not asking, but stating the facts. She knew better than anyone what the effects of her medicines were.

"Sister-in-law, you are amazing." Li Zi exclaimed.

Li Zi's words indirectly confirmed Tao Qiuyi's words. She walked to the table and sat down. Xiao Huai very attentively poured a cup of tea and placed it in front of her.

"Thank you, Xiao Huai." Tao Qiuyi picked up the tea and drank half of it in one gulp. He looked up at Wei Jingyuan, who was sitting on the edge of the bed without saying a word. "Did you try to walk?"

"I walked a few steps in the yard." Wei Jingyuan nodded in response.

"Why are you walking in the yard?" Tao Qiuyi frowned. "I told you before that your tendons and veins are severely damaged. One reason is the injury, and the other is the cold."

"How dare you walk a few steps in the yard? Aren't you afraid that your veins, which have been repaired with great difficulty, will be frozen again?"

Seeing her frown, Wei Jingyuan's heart sank. After hearing her words, his heart sank directly to the bottom of the valley. He didn't ask him if he remembered what she said, but he just knew what she meant.

"I remember everything you said." After saying that, Wei Jingyuan added, "I remember everything."

"Sister-in-law, brother didn't mean to do that," Lizi explained quickly. "When brother came out of the bathroom today, someone threw his crutches into the yard, and there was oil spilled on the ground. He almost fell."

Xiao Huai also said, "Li Zi is right. I checked and there is indeed oil on the ground."

Seeing that his younger brothers and sisters were eager to explain for him, Wei Jingyuan didn't say anything.

Tao Qiuyi raised an eyebrow and asked, "Someone is playing a prank on you. Is it a test, or is it simply to see you fall and make a fool of yourself, or perhaps hoping that you'll break your normal leg or something?"

"I don't know." A gleam of light flashed in Wei Jingyuan's eyes, "But it's certain that it was man-made."

After finishing the remaining half glass of water, Tao Qiuyi put the glass down and sighed, "I'm a little curious, what did you do in the past to make them hate you so much?"

"I don't know." Wei Jingyuan shook his head. He really didn't know.

"Forget it, don't worry about them for now. The most important thing right now is your legs." Tao Qiuyi stood up and said to Xiao Huai, "Xiao Huai, come and help. Move the table and bench to the wall and leave some space for your brother to practice walking."

"Brother's legs are healed now. Does he still need to practice walking?" The person who asked the question was Li Zi.

Although she asked, she did not hesitate at all to help Xiao Huai lift the table.

Tao Qiuyi replied, "Of course I have to practice. My leg injury has lasted too long and I haven't walked. I need to practice walking even after it heals. Medically, this is called rehabilitation."

"How long will it take me to recover?" This time it was Wei Jingyuan who asked the question.
