Chapter 148 Talking about feelings

What was he thinking, what could he be thinking? Did he invite them in? Or did he invite them to the fireplace and stare at the flames?

Wei Jingyuan was so angry that he laughed at his third uncle's words.

He heard everything his uncle and third uncle whispered in front of the fireplace, and he heard every word.

"What are you laughing at? Do you think your third uncle and I are funny?" Seeing him laugh, Wei Lao was furious. He stared at Wei Jingyuan fiercely. With his red eyes, he looked a little scary.

Wei Jingyuan and Tao Qiuyi had both seen scarier people, and Boss Wei couldn't scare them like this.

Li Zi was frightened. She grabbed Tao Qiuyi's arm tightly with both hands, and her body was shaking uncontrollably.

Tao Qiuyi tapped his white fingers on the table, and the smile on his face faded. He glanced at Boss Wei. "Uncle, put away your anger. This is not your room. You scared Li Zi."

"You and Third Uncle's eyes are like this, it's your own fault, we can't be blamed. We're sitting here without moving, it's like a huge pot has fallen from the sky on our heads."

Intimidation, this was definitely intimidation. When Boss Wei was glanced at by her, he felt a chill running up his spine.

"Men are talking, what business does a woman like you have?" Wei Lao San scolded Tao Qiuyi and looked at Wei Jingyuan. "You are a former soldier, but a man like you is being manipulated by a woman. You are really bringing shame to our Wei family."

"Your uncle and I got our eyes red from looking at your fireplace out of curiosity. You are responsible for restoring our eyes to their original state."

It was a threat, a clear threat, but Wei Jingyuan didn't panic at all and still sat there calmly.

Tao Qiuyi suddenly chuckled, "I've seen shameless people, but I've never seen anyone this shameless. I've always been the one threatening others, but today is the first time I've been threatened..."

“That’s quite fresh.”

After hearing her words, Wei Lao Da and Wei Lao San's faces changed, and Wei Lao San even took a step back. He felt very regretful for his quick words and scolded Tao Qiuyi.

Wei Jingyuan has a good temper and he tolerates whatever is said about him, scolded, or even criticized.

Tao Qiuyi has a bad temper. If something makes her unhappy, she will really hit someone.

At this moment, both Boss Wei and Third Brother Wei felt like they were in a difficult situation.

"If you don't want to help us, just forget it. We'll go find an old Chinese doctor ourselves." With a pretentious snort, Wei Lao San pulled Wei Lao Da and walked out of the house quickly.

Watching the two figures disappear at the door, Li Hongying, the mother-in-law and the daughter-in-law were all stunned.

Tao Qiuyi glanced at Wei Jingyuan, his expression as innocent as it could be. "Why did you leave? Why did you go to see an old Chinese doctor? Why don't you go somewhere far away and find me?"

Wei Jingyuan was speechless, but his eyes were filled with doting as he looked at her.

"Qiuyi, can you restore your uncle and third uncle's eyesight to their original state?" The person asking the question was Li Yuegui. Her tone was gentle and polite, and there was a flattering smile on her face.

"Yes." Tao Qiuyi nodded. "I'm an expert at treating red and dry eyes caused by fire burns. It's a pity that my eldest and third uncles insisted on going to see some old Chinese doctor instead of the one who's close by."

"You can cure it, why didn't you tell me earlier?" Li Hongying was so angry that she wanted to hit Tao Qiuyi. She felt that she was talking after the fact and deliberately making things difficult for them.

"You didn't ask me." Tao Qiuyi blinked innocently.

"You..." Li Hongying gritted her teeth in anger. Before she could even turn around, her arm was grabbed and Zhou Mei's voice rang in her ears. "Mom, business is more important." Hearing that business was more important, Li Hongying took a deep breath, exhaled, and barely suppressed her anger.

Don’t be angry, she is not angry. She repeated this to herself several times before turning around and walking back to where she had sat before.

Business, what business? Tao Qiuyi and Wei Jingyuan looked at each other, and Wei Jingyuan shook his head slightly, indicating that he didn't know what business was.

Seeing Li Hongying sitting down, Zhou Mei secretly breathed a sigh of relief, tugged at the corner of Li Yuegui's clothes, walked to her original position and sat down, and Li Yuegui followed suit and sat down.

After sitting down, Li Hongying looked at Wei Jingyuan, then at Tao Qiuyi, and finally fixed her eyes on Li Zi's face.

Li Hongying said in a commanding tone: "I'm thirsty, pour me some water."

"We don't have any extra cups in the room." Tao Qiuyi refused directly without changing his expression.

Li Zi looked at Tao Qiuyi with gratitude, then lowered her head. It was great to have her sister-in-law protecting her. She felt very calm, no longer as nervous as she used to be when facing her grandmother.

"Isn't that a cup in front of you?" Li Hongying felt that she and Tao Qiuyi were in conflict. Whenever she spoke to Tao Qiuyi, she would get angry after just a few words.

"In front of me is my cup." Tao Qiuyi sneered, "I have a bad temper. I don't share cups, towels, toothbrushes, and men."

"Besides, the day after we separated, you moved everything out of the kitchen. If it weren't for the stone water tank and stove that couldn't be moved, I'm afraid you wouldn't have left them to us."

"You didn't even leave us a long stick of firewood. Even the locusts would bow down before you."

Li Yuegui smiled apologetically and said, "Qiuyi, why are you still bringing up the past? We are all family, so let's not talk about the past anymore."

Her role today was to mediate, apologize, and say nice things.

Zhou Mei took over the conversation, "Yes, your Third Aunt is right, Jingyuan, Qiuyi, we are all family. Any misunderstandings from before are in the past. Let's not bring them up again. It will hurt feelings."

"Do we have feelings for each other?" Tao Qiuyi asked in surprise.

Zhou Mei's face darkened and she stopped talking. There was really nothing to talk about today.

Seeing her eldest daughter-in-law's face black with anger and speechless, Li Hongying felt relieved and balanced.

"Qiuyi..." Li Yuegui just started to speak, but was interrupted by Tao Qiuyi, "If you have something to say, just say it directly. Don't waste each other's time. We can talk even if we don't have any feelings."

Before talking about things, everyone would lay the groundwork first. Li Hongying, the mother-in-law, and the daughter-in-law all twitched their lips and exchanged glances quickly.

Finally, Li Yuegui spoke up, "Jingyuan, Qiuyi, you know that your grandmother, your aunt, and I all had our money and banknotes stolen by a thief. We can't make ends meet anymore."

"Yes, we can't make ends meet." Li Hongying agreed, with a fierce look on her face.

Thinking of her stolen money and tickets, she wanted to tear the thief who stole her money and tickets into pieces.

Zhou Mei's eyes were red. She felt very embarrassed when she thought about how Tao Qiuyi caught her selling grain in the morning.

Tao Qiuyi glanced at Li Hongying first, then passed his gaze from Zhou Mei to Li Yuegui. "Speaking of this, I suddenly remembered why Third Aunt and First Aunt didn't get on the ox cart at the village entrance this morning."
