Chapter 146 Discovering the Fireplace
"Grandma and the others are here." Li Zi looked at Tao Qiuyi with a worried look on her face. "Sister-in-law, Grandma and the others are here at this time. Are they trying to cause trouble for us again?"

Before Tao Qiuyi could speak, Xiao Huai said, "It should be."

"What should we do? What should we do?" Li Zi suddenly became panicked.

Seeing his sister panicking when something happened, Wei Jingyuan didn't know what to say to her.

Pulling Li Zi to sit next to him, Tao Qiuyi said, "You're overthinking it. If they were here to cause trouble for us, they wouldn't just knock on the door politely, they'd just kick it hard."

Xiao Huai thought about it and felt that what she said made sense.

Li Zi was still a little uneasy, perhaps because the psychological shadow left on her by Li Hongying and others was too big and too deep.

"Don't be afraid, my sister-in-law is here, no one can bully you." After comforting Li Zi, Tao Qiuyi stood up and said to Xiao Huai, "Xiao Huai, go open the door."

She asked Xiao Huai to open the door, and she walked over to pick up the backpack and cloth bag and threw them inside. Then she stood up and moved the table a little further out, motioning Wei Jingyuan to sit on the other side.

In this way, the table and Wei Jingyuan just blocked the backpack and cloth bag.

Seeing her like this, Wei Jingyuan knew that the backpack must have been filled with a lot of things. He had spent quite a bit of time with Tao Qiuyi, so he knew her well. This girl was very protective of her food.

"Grandma..." Xiao Huai opened the door and saw five people standing outside. He just opened his mouth to shout when he was ruthlessly pushed aside.

Li Hongying was the first to walk into the house, complaining unhappily as she walked, "Why are you taking so long to open the door? Are you guys deliberately trying to freeze me to death?"

"If you think the door opens slowly, don't come to visit. No one welcomes you." Tao Qiuyi retorted coldly.

"You little..." Li Hongying was about to curse, but Zhou Mei, who was following behind her, pulled her clothes, and she shut up decisively.

"Jingyuan, Qiuyi, we're both here!" Li Yuegui, standing beside them, said with a smile, "We don't have anything to do today, so we thought we'd come sit in your room."

"We didn't invite you." Tao Qiuyi's words made several people angry again.

They all glared at them with gritted teeth, but no one said a word of curse.

At this moment, the five people all felt the unusual temperature in the room. They all stopped and looked at the heat source. The stove embedded in the wall was burning.

Li Hongying, mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were walking in front and were not far from the table. Wei Lao Da and Wei Lao San were walking behind and had just entered the door.

"What...what is this?" Boss Wei was the first to rush to the fireplace. The warmth made his whole body no longer cold. He wanted to get closer to take a closer look.

"Uncle." Xiao Huai rushed to his side, grabbed his arm and warned him, "Don't get too close, it's hot."

"What is this?" Boss Wei asked Xiao Huai beside him.

Xiao Huai didn't answer immediately, but turned to look at Tao Qiuyi, silently asking for her opinion. This action made Boss Wei furious. He asked a question and this kid dared not answer.

"Get out of here." He stretched out his hand and pushed Xiao Huai away. Boss Wei took a step forward...

"We're not responsible for burns." Tao Qiuyi said coldly, "If you want to blackmail us with this, I'll make him know what regret is."

"I advise you not to come any closer. If you break anything, I'll just throw you out."

Tao Qiuyi said the last few words calmly and lightly, which was a clear threat. However, no one in the room doubted it because she really could do what she said.

Boss Wei didn't dare to act rashly. He took two steps back and squinted his eyes to examine the fireplace. He couldn't get too close to see, so he struggled to see. The fire inside was burning, and the glare was blinding. "Brother," Wei Lao San approached him, deliberately lowering his voice and asking, "Do you understand?"

"No." Boss Wei shook his head regretfully.

This thing looks simple, but he knows that it is quite difficult to make without guidance.

"Take a closer look at it." Wei Laosan didn't want to give up. He also wanted to have a stove like this in his own house. At this moment, he had already seen the advantages of this stove.

It can warm up the house as well as illuminate it.

Boss Wei nodded. He knew what the third brother was thinking. He also wanted to have a stove like this in his own house. Unfortunately, no matter how he looked in the house, he couldn't tell how it was made.

Xiao Huai was right next to the two of them. Although he didn't hear clearly what they said, he knew from their expressions that his eldest uncle and third uncle had set their eyes on their fireplace.

On the other side, Li Hongying, mother-in-law and daughter-in-law had already arrived at the table.

Wei Jingyuan felt that he was a cripple, so he sat there without moving. Tao Qiuyi also sat there without moving. Li Zi, who was standing next to him, wanted to stand up, but was held back by Tao Qiuyi and failed to do so.

Feeling neglected, Li Hongying's eyes swept across the faces of the three people sitting at the table, and finally settled on Wei Jingyuan's face.

"Wei Jingyuan, I am your grandmother." Li Hongying gritted her teeth and glared at Wei Jingyuan, anger in her eyes almost overflowing. Damn Wei Jingyuan, she was not wrong in saying that he was disobedient and unfilial.

She had been in for a long time, but not only did he not stand up to greet her and sit down, he didn't even stand up.

He doesn't behave like a younger generation at all.

"Grandma, since you're here, please sit down and talk." After all, she was the elder, so Wei Jingyuan was not as casual and unrestrained as Tao Qiuyi. "I'm a cripple, so I won't stand up."

"You..." Li Hongying was so choked by his words that she couldn't breathe and felt very uncomfortable.

"Mom, Jingyuan has difficulty walking. We are all his elders, so please understand." Zhou Mei tried to persuade Li Hongying, mainly because she was afraid that her mother-in-law would get so angry that she would turn around and leave.

After persuading Li Hongying, Zhou Mei glanced at Tao Qiuyi.

What that look meant was, your legs and feet are fine, isn't it too much if you don't stand up?

Tao Qiuyi didn't care whether it was excessive or not. Just like she said before, they didn't invite them, and they didn't even welcome them. They came on their own, so they deserved to be ignored.

"Sister-in-law is right. Jingyuan has difficulty walking. As his elders, we should be understanding." Li Yuegui has always been thick-skinned. She walked to the table with a smile and moved out the long bench.

He turned around and said to Li Hongying, "Mom, come and sit down. Let's sit down and talk slowly."

Li Yuegui was essentially handing Li Hongying a ladder to step down. She would be a fool not to take it. Clearly, Li Hongying wasn't a fool; she walked over and sat down.

After glancing at Li Yuegui, Tao Qiuyi looked at Wei Jingyuan and raised her eyebrows. She meant, look at your Third Aunt, she's very flexible and capable.

Li Yuegui, who was very good at handling things, didn't dare to sit on the same bench with Li Hongying. Fortunately, there was another empty bench, so she came over and moved it aside and sat down.

In this way, only Zhou Mei was still standing there. No matter how angry or unwilling she was, she had no choice but to compromise and walk over to sit on the bench with Li Yuegui.
