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

Chapter 172 Rare and Strange

"Grandpa, Huang Hao, why are you looking at me?" Zhang Moli was nervous, but she still insisted on her opinion. "It's useless for you to look at me. I'm telling the truth."

"Aunt Li is always gossiping in the village and her insults are very harsh. You see, she scolds and beats her own daughter-in-law. She scolded Sister Qiu Yi, and Sister Qiu Yi deserved to beat her."

"She even cursed Doctor Wei for no reason. If Sister Qiuyi doesn't hit her, who else should she hit?"

Seeing Qiu Yi beating Aunt Li, Zhang Moli felt happy. If her grandfather and husband weren't around, she would have applauded Qiu Yi.

In other words, good job.

He had noticed his granddaughter-in-law was timid ever since she married into his family. The old Party Secretary was puzzled as to why she had suddenly become so bold today.

Huang Hao noticed Zhang Moli was nervous, so he walked over to her and asked with a smile, "Aren't you afraid?"

"What am I afraid of?" Zhang Moli asked instead of answering, thinking that his question was inexplicable.

"Tao Qiuyi hits people at every turn, yet you're not afraid of her and you even dare to be her friend." Huang Hao's smile deepened. "Moli, when did you become so brave?"

He is very happy.

His wife is timid and has been bullied many times in the past, which has always worried him. But today, he saw her defending Tao Qiuyi, and her face lit up when she talked about Tao Qiuyi beating people.

His wife is slowly changing, becoming stronger and less timid.

Huang Hao was very surprised.

Zhang Moli didn't feel that she had become braver. She was only concerned with refuting Huang Hao's words, "Sister Qiuyi is a good person. She doesn't hit people at every turn."

"Take what happened just now for example. If Aunt Li hadn't scolded Sister Qiuyi first, Sister Qiuyi wouldn't have bothered to hit her."

"Besides, Sister Qiuyi beat three hooligans by herself until they cried for their parents, and they still took out the money and bills obediently. I've seen it all before. What's a slap on Aunt Li's face that's broken?"

Huang Hao's expression froze. What the hell? Tao Qiuyi beat three hooligans until they cried for their parents?
Perhaps because he had heard so many bizarre things, the old Party secretary was no longer surprised. Seeing his grandson's stiff expression, the old man even felt that he was ashamed of himself.

Make a fuss.

"You're surprised by something you haven't seen before." Zhang Moli also rolled her eyes at Huang Hao.

Huang Hao was very upset after receiving the cold shoulder from his grandfather and wife.

The sudden drop in the air pressure of the people around him allowed Tao Qiuyi to guess, without even looking up, that Wei Jingyuan's expression at the moment must not be very good.

With a helpless sigh, Tao Qiuyi reminded Zhang Moli, "Moli, I know you are defending me, but some things are better not to be said, so as not to scare others."

"Oh, I'm sorry, I don't know and can't tell you." Zhang Moli widened her eyes and looked at Tao Qiuyi apologetically.

Tao Qiuyi held his forehead and said, "It's not that I can't say it, it's that there's no need to say it."

Zhang Moli nodded repeatedly, not knowing whether she understood or not.

Anyway, Tao Qiuyi thought she understood.

"Come, sit down. Your injured leg has just healed. It's not suitable for you to stand for a long time." Tao Qiuyi supported Wei Jingyuan's arm and took him to the table where Mr. Jiang was seeing patients, and asked him to sit on the long bench.

After making sure he was firmly seated, Tao Qiuyi tried to withdraw her hand, but was caught tightly by Wei Jingyuan's large hand. "That time you rescued Huang Hao's wife and beat three hooligans to tears, why haven't I heard you mention that?"

"What's there to say?" Tao Qiuyi disagreed and said in a low voice, "I beat up a few strong men who were blocking the road and robbing them until they screamed in pain. You've seen it all."

"What's the big deal about beating up three hooligans?" As he said this, Tao Qiuyi blinked at Wei Jingyuan with an indescribable proud expression.

He felt his heart being tickled, wanting to grab her and sit her on his lap, holding her in his arms. Wei Jingyuan suppressed his urge and said, "Yes, you are the best."

"That's right." Tao Qiuyi accepted his praise without any modesty.

Suddenly, a subtle sound came from inside. Wei Jingyuan and Tao Qiuyi looked towards the medicine cabinet at the same time. Noticing each other's movements, they both looked at each other at the same time.

"You've been standing for too long. Let me take a look at your legs." Tao Qiuyi said as he squatted down in front of Wei Jingyuan.

"Okay." Wei Jingyuan responded and bent down to roll up his trouser legs.

Using actions to conceal their feelings, the two of them put their heads together and whispered to each other.

"Did you hear the sound too?" Tao Qiuyi asked in a low voice.

"Also," she said, "does that mean she heard it too?" Wei Jingyuan nodded, then hesitated for a moment before whispering, "I also heard someone else breathing, but that was after the noise."

Did he even hear that? Tao Qiuyi looked at him in surprise. She had taken a whole pill that changed the body's functions, and her physical condition and senses had greatly improved.

He only ate the crumbs four times, which together were less than one-tenth of the pills.

To repair the damaged tendons and veins in Wei Jingyuan's legs, they fed him the scraps scraped from the pills in order to see quick results and also because they worried he wouldn't be able to endure the pain.

She expected that his physique and senses would definitely improve, but she didn't know how much.

I didn't expect it to improve so much.

It wasn't surprising that both she and Wei Jingyuan heard the subtle sound behind the medicine cabinet. It wasn't surprising that she heard the other person's breathing, so light.

Wei Jingyuan also heard it, which means his hearing has improved a lot.

"You heard it too." Wei Jingyuan was not asking, but confirming. He knew from her expression that she heard it too.

Tao Qiuyi nodded, then said in a normal voice, "Your injured leg is a little red. It might be because you were anxious to walk before it was fully healed."

"I told you before not to rush to walk, not to rush to walk, but you wouldn't listen. Now your legs are red from all that tossing, don't walk for the next few days."

"I'm sorry, I was too impatient." Wei Jingyuan apologized sincerely.

Zhang Moli heard the conversation between the old branch secretary and Huang Hao, and walked over quickly to surround them.

The old Party Secretary asked, "Girl Tao, is Jingyuan's leg okay?"

"It's not a big problem. Thank you for your concern, old branch secretary." Tao Qiuyi stood up, held Zhang Moli's hand, and glanced towards the door.

Zhang Moli blinked, not understanding what Tao Qiuyi meant. Just as she was about to ask, she felt her hand being tightly gripped. Now she understood that Qiuyi didn't want her to speak.

Tao Qiuyi glanced at the old branch secretary and Huang Hao, then looked outside the door.

The grandfather and grandson were smarter than Zhang Moli. They realized that Tao Qiuyi was trying to get them out of the way. The old Party secretary said, "I'm a little thirsty. Haozi, you and Moli go get me a water bottle from the oxcart."

"Okay, Jasmine and I will go get some water for grandpa." Huang Hao didn't ask anything and pulled Zhang Moli out of the thatched hut.

"Girl Tao, is there really nothing wrong with Jingyuan's leg?" the old branch secretary asked again.

Tao Qiuyi smiled and gave the old Party Secretary a thumbs-up, but replied, "It's no big deal. I just can't walk for the next few days. Don't worry, Old Party Secretary."
