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

Chapter 159 He Dare
Smelling the occasional aroma of meat wafting from the room over there, the five adults in the room all looked unhappy.

Zhou Mei said, "In the afternoon, I saw Xiaoli and Xiaohuai carrying a basket out of the house. The basket was full of meat, at least 20 to 30 kilograms of meat."

"It was placed in the yard. At first, Xiaoli and Xiaohuai were sitting at the kitchen door looking at the meat. Later, Tao Qiuyi came out and called Xiaoli and Xiaohuai back into the house."

"Twenty to thirty kilograms of meat." Boss Wei exclaimed, staring at Zhou Mei with wide eyes in disbelief. "You must be seeing things. Really twenty to thirty kilograms of meat?"

Twenty or thirty kilograms of meat, how much meat is that?
"How could I be wrong?" Zhou Mei deliberately exaggerated. Even if there were not twenty or thirty kilograms of meat in the backpack, there were at least more than ten kilograms.

"Where did they get so much meat?" Li Yuegui asked, and then guessed, "Could it be that Tao Qiuyi went to town to buy it today?"

She did not forget what happened when she and her sister-in-law met Tao Qiuyi while waiting for the bus at the village entrance.

"Impossible, absolutely impossible." Wei Laosan denied Li Yuegui's guess, "Even if Tao Qiuyi is rich, where does she get the meat coupons to buy 20 or 30 kilograms of meat?"

"Yes!" Li Yuegui nodded. "Tao Qiuyi has money, but where did she get the meat coupons to buy so much meat?"

"Of course they stole it from us." Li Hongying slammed the table in anger. "Wei Jingyuan and Tao Qiuyi, those little rascals, their consciences have been eaten by dogs."

"First he plotted to split up my family property, then he stole my money and tickets and squandered them."

"My Wei family has always lived in peace and contentment, being genuine poor peasants. How could a heartless person like Wei Jingyuan emerge? It's a misfortune for our family, a misfortune for our family."

Seeing his mother scolding him, Wei Lao San also cursed, "How dare you, Wei Jingyuan, plot against us? You are so heartless! We are all his elders!"

"Elders." Zhou Mei sneered, "Third brother, what are you talking about elders now? Wei Jingyuan dared to plot against us, which shows that he doesn't even consider us elders."

"He dares." Li Hongying was furious. She turned her head to look outside and cursed loudly, "I am his grandmother. If he dares not treat me as an elder, I will go to the town and report him."

"I will also make public the evil things he has done. Not only will everyone in the village know about it, I will also make everyone in the town know about it."

"He is ungrateful and calculating against his elders. Let's see if he still has the face to live."

"Mom, he won't be afraid." Zhou Mei reminded her, "If he was afraid of gossip, he wouldn't dare plot to split up our family. You've forgotten so quickly who threw you out of the house before?"

"Wei Jingyuan is not only calculating, but also very good at pretending. We have been misled by him all these years. His leg is completely fine."

Wei Jingyuan was suddenly able to walk. After Zhou Mei's shock, she pondered for a long time and came to only one conclusion: Wei Jingyuan's leg was not lame at all, and he had been pretending before.

Tao Qiuyi took Wei Jingyuan to see an old Chinese doctor from the neighboring brigade to treat his legs. But in just a few days, he was cured and could walk again. Who would believe it?

After hearing Zhou Mei's talk about this, Li Hongying and Li Yuegui's faces changed drastically at the same time, with deep suspicion in their eyes.

Wei Lao San and Wei Lao Da noticed the expressions of the two men. Wei Lao Da asked, "What do you mean his leg is fine?"

"Wei Jingyuan's leg is fine, he is not a cripple." Zhou Mei said gritting her teeth.

"That's impossible, impossible, absolutely impossible." Boss Wei shook his head, his tone very firm, "Jing Yuan's leg is really injured, otherwise, given his ability, he would never have been willing to retire and return."

"I don't think it's possible either." Wei Laosan agreed.

"My third sister-in-law and I saw it with our own eyes. How could it be fake?" Sister Zhou looked at Li Hongying. "Mom, you won't forget that Wei Jingyuan threw you out of the house."

Li Hongying was actually still a little confused and a little bit unconvinced. Everyone knew that Wei Jingyuan had injured his leg and became disabled and crippled, and had to use a cane to walk.

Li Hongying asked Zhou Mei and Li Yuegui, "Was I really thrown out of the house by Wei Jingyuan?" "Yes."

"Yes," Zhou Mei and Li Yuegui answered in unison, with Zhou Mei even adding, "Mom, Wei Jingyuan grabbed your hand and dragged you out of the house. My third sister-in-law and I saw it with our own eyes."

Seeing how certain they were, Wei Lao Da and Wei Lao San also began to feel uncertain. However, without seeing it with their own eyes, it was still hard for them to believe that Wei Jingyuan's limp was fake.

"If you don't believe me, go and see for yourself." Li Yuegui said impatiently.

Since his wife was angry, Wei Lao San naturally wanted to comfort her. "Wife, I don't disbelieve you, it's just hard to believe."

"It was hard to imagine when we saw it." Li Yuegui nodded in understanding.

The room suddenly fell into an eerie silence.

The next day.

The weather was nice, so Tao Qiuyi decided to go for a walk in the mountains. As he passed a large bamboo forest, he heard a cough coming from inside. He was sick again. Living in a drafty place like that, it would be strange if he didn't get sick.

Tao Qiuyi turned around and walked towards the brigade office.

Having been here once before, she walked to the door with familiarity and saw the old branch secretary sitting inside. Tao Qiuyi raised her hand and knocked on the door, then waited for the person inside to respond.

The old branch secretary looked up at the door and saw Tao Qiuyi. He smiled and said, "Here comes Tao girl. It's cold outside. Come in quickly, come in quickly."

Tao Qiuyi walked in and greeted him, "Hello, old Party Secretary."

"Okay, okay, all is good. Come and sit down, let's talk." The old branch secretary smiled and asked her to sit down.

Tao Qiuyi walked to the table and sat down, watching the old Party Secretary get up to pour water. He wondered whether to state his purpose directly or lay the groundwork first.

"Thank you, Tao girl!" The old secretary placed the cup of water in front of Tao Qiuyi. "Drink a cup of hot water to warm yourself up."

"Thank you, old branch secretary." Tao Qiuyi stood up and thanked him.

The old branch secretary suddenly thanked her and poured her some hot water, which made her a little confused.

"Old Party Secretary..." Just as he was about to ask why the old Party Secretary thanked him, Tao Qiuyi remembered that Jasmine was the old Party Secretary's granddaughter-in-law. The old Party Secretary thanked him, probably because of Jasmine.

Yesterday, Jasmine and her husband Huang Haocai came to express their gratitude with gifts. The old branch secretary must know about so many things.

So, Tao Qiuyi changed his tone and said, "We live in the same village, so it's only natural for us to help each other. Moreover, if we want to build our country and our homeland well, we must unite."

"It's rare that you understand this truth at such a young age." The old branch secretary smiled and sat back in his original seat, waving his hand for Tao Qiuyi to sit down as well.

Tao Qiuyi sat down again.

The old Party Secretary said earnestly, "Tao girl, you are a capable person and very smart."

"Hmm?" Tao Qiuyi didn't understand what was said.

The old Party Secretary smiled mysteriously and did not continue the topic. "Seeing you are carrying a backpack, are you planning to go to the mountains again?"
