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

Chapter 153 Tell the truth frankly
"Be good." Tao Qiuyi continued, "Li Zi and Xiao Huai, take the pig's feet and meat outside now. It's very cold outside, so wear more cotton clothes when you go out."

"Okay." Li Zi and Xiao Huai went to get their thick cotton coats and put them on. Tao Qiuyi threw the two pig's feet, pork belly and pork legs back into the backpack.

Li Zi and Xiao Huai put on their cotton-padded clothes and went out carrying their backpacks.

Only Tao Qiuyi and Wei Jingyuan were left in the room. She had calmed down and was no longer panicking. She took out melon seeds from the cabinet and sat at the table to peel and eat them.

Wei Jingyuan was very active in his rehabilitation and didn't need her to keep an eye on him at all.

After walking back and forth for a few times, Wei Jingyuan estimated that it took about half an hour. He sat down at the table to rest and drink some water.

There were still three small piles in front of Tao Qiuyi. She was not concentrating on peeling the melon seeds, so she naturally knew that Wei Jingyuan was looking at her.

Without looking up at him, she just said calmly: "Ask whatever you want to ask. Aren't you tired of looking at me like this?"

"Will you answer everything I ask?" Wei Jingyuan asked instead of answering.

"It depends on my mood." Tao Qiuyi answered casually.

Wei Jingyuan felt himself choked. She said it depends on her mood, so he would test her mood today. "Xiao Huai asked you why you were happy, and you didn't tell the truth."

She said that someone asked her to borrow money, which meant she was rich. This could fool Xiao Huai and Li Zi, but it couldn't fool him.

Glancing at Wei Jingyuan, Tao Qiuyi said playfully, "Of course I can't tell the truth. I can't tell them that I'm happy because I took your aunt and third aunt's money and lent it to them."

"I even made them write IOUs and listened to them thank me with words that were not in their hearts."

Tao Qiuyi felt so happy after lending them his money and even received their verbal thanks that he peeled melon seeds with much more ease.

Wei Jingyuan was suddenly speechless.

How could he forget that she had taken away Grandma's money and tickets? She hadn't concealed it from him, but she had concealed it from Xiao Huai and Li Zi. She really couldn't tell the truth.

Seeing that he didn't say anything, Tao Qiuyi said, "If you have anything else to ask, ask it all today. If you have confusion or something you can't figure out, you'll keep thinking about it and end up getting stuck in a dead end."

Wei Jingyuan had an idea. She said if there was anything else she wanted to ask, let’s ask them all today. Does that mean she could ask everything?

"Can I ask anything?" Wei Jingyuan asked softly, his deep eyes fixed on Tao Qiuyi.

"Hmm?" Tao Qiuyi stopped peeling melon seeds and looked up at Wei Jingyuan.

He looked serious, staring intently into his eyes, as if there were many things hidden, yet also as if there was nothing. Tao Qiuyi's heart skipped a beat.

What did he want to ask her?
Out of the corner of my eye I caught a glimpse of his hand holding the bamboo water cup. His bony fingers were tense; he was nervous.

"Okay." Tao Qiuyi had a rough guess in his mind.

His tense expression relaxed, his bony fingers slowly relaxed, and Wei Jingyuan smiled with relief. "Can you tell me your real name?"

"Tao Qiuyi." Tao Qiuyi told the truth. She knew this man was not easy to fool. It was not easy for him to wait until now to ask her.

Tao Qiuyi! Wei Jingyuan was stunned for a moment by the unexpected answer, and then asked in surprise, "Your name is Tao Qiuyi too?"

"Yes." Tao Qiuyi nodded. "My name is Tao Qiuyi too. What a coincidence, isn't it?"

"It's fate." Wei Jingyuan nodded and didn't ask any other questions.

Seeing that he had no intention of asking in detail, Tao Qiuyi became curious and asked, "You don't want to ask where I'm from?"

Wei Jingyuan shook his head, "No matter where you come from, you are with me now." The two smiled at each other, and everything was said without words.

"Is Sister Qiuyi home?" A soft voice came from outside, followed by Xiao Huai's inquiry. Tao Qiuyi glanced at Wei Jingyuan and said loudly, "Xiao Huai, please ask Jasmine to come in."

After saying that, Tao Qiuyi stood up and went to the door to greet people.

Wei Jingyuan didn't want to let outsiders see that he could walk so soon, so he sat there without moving.

When she reached the door, Zhang Moli saw Tao Qiuyi standing there waiting for her and quickly explained, "Sister Qiuyi, I'm sorry, I was delayed a little at home."

"Moli, we are friends, no need to be so polite." Tao Qiu smiled indifferently and glanced at the man following behind Zhang Moli and the sack in the man's hand.

I guess he should be Jasmine's man, but why is he carrying a sack?
"Yes, we are friends." Zhang Moli took a step back, took the man's hand and introduced him to Tao Qiuyi, "Sister Qiuyi, he is my husband. He came with me to thank you."

"You're welcome. It's cold outside. Let's talk inside." Tao Qiuyi stepped aside to let Zhang Moli and the other person into the house.

As soon as she entered the house, Zhang Moli felt a warmth, and the man behind her also showed a look of surprise. The couple were sensible people and understood that they should not look around carelessly when visiting someone else's home.

The three of them came to the table together.

Seeing Wei Jingyuan sitting in the seat where he had sat before, Tao Qiuyi blinked. What was he doing?

Standing up and nodding to Zhang Moli and her husband, Wei Jingyuan invited them to sit down. Living in the same village, he naturally knew the grandson and granddaughter-in-law of the old Party Secretary.

Picking up the thermos in the middle of the table, Wei Jingyuan poured two glasses of water for the two of them.

"Thank you."

"Thank you." Zhang Moli and her man thanked at the same time.

"You're welcome." Wei Jingyuan nodded, added some water to Tao Qiuyi's cup, and then put the thermos back in its place.

Standing beside the table, Tao Qiuyi looked at Wei Jingyuan's calm expression, standing where he had sat before, raised his eyebrows, and silently asked him what he meant.

Wei Jingyuan's response was to reach out and pull her to stand next to him.

As the host, they naturally cannot sit down before the guests since the guests have not yet sat down.

"Sister Qiuyi, you and Doctor Wei look so good standing together." Looking at the two of them standing together, Zhang Moli sincerely felt that they were so well matched.

Zhang Moli's husband looked at his wife and smiled helplessly. She didn't know how to use nice words, but just said whatever she thought.

"Jasmine and your man are a good match." Tao Qiuyi reciprocated the favor and gave him a compliment.

Zhang Moli blushed and lowered her head shyly.

Zhang Moli's husband was startled and looked at Tao Qiuyi with an expression that was hard to describe. He suddenly understood why his wife could become friends with Tao Qiuyi.

They are all people who speak directly.

Not knowing what her husband was thinking, Zhang Moli turned her head and glanced at him. She placed the basket on the table, and her husband placed the sack on the empty bench.

Gently pushing the basket in front of Tao Qiuyi and Wei Jingyuan, Zhang Moli uncovered the cloth covering it and looked at the two of them somewhat embarrassedly.

Zhang Moli said, "Sister Qiuyi, these small gifts cannot express my gratitude to you. They are just a token of our love, and I hope you don't mind."
