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

Chapter 178 Asking for Fish

Wei Jingyuan sat down next to her, looking at Tao Qiuyi with deep eyes, "Li Zi has not been smart since she was a child, and she often acts foolishly. If you don't know how to punish her, I can teach you."

"No, Wei Jingyuan, are you Li Zi's biological elder brother?" Tao Qiuyi looked at Wei Jingyuan in surprise. There was no insincerity on his handsome face, only sincerity.

And very sincere.

So, he really wanted to teach her how to punish his sister. The first thing he said when he entered the door was that Li Zi was hypocritical, and the second thing he said was to teach her how to punish Li Zi.

This is something that an older brother can do.

As the eldest brother, he shouldn't have spoken well of his sister and persuaded her to forgive her. But Wei Jingyuan did the opposite, encouraging her to punish his sister and even teaching her how to do it.

"Of course I'm her biological brother." Wei Jingyuan snorted, "I stand for justice, not relatives. If I do something wrong, I should be responsible. She didn't listen to you, so it's only natural for you to punish her."

"Don't even mention Li Zi. Even if it's Xiao Huai and I, you can punish any of us if we disobey you or do something wrong."

Tao Qiuyi suddenly felt... speechless.

Wei Jingyuan looked at her, wanting to say something but hesitant. In the end, he said nothing and just looked at her quietly.

Perhaps it was because his gaze was too direct that Tao Qiuyi felt a little uncomfortable. "Forget it, take Li Zi and Xiao Huai with you and clean up those fish. The fish are too small, so don't throw away their heads."

"Okay, you rest in the house. Don't go out if it's cold outside." After instructing her, Wei Jingyuan got up and walked out.

Looking at his back, Tao Qiuyi felt a strange feeling in his heart.

The voices of the three brothers and sisters could be heard outside, but Tao Qiuyi was not interested in listening and went straight into the ring space to study the prescription for treating asthma.

The fishy smell was too strong, and Wei Jingyuan was worried that it would drift into the house, so he asked his younger brother and sister to go to the kitchen to get a basin for the fish and scissors, and he carried the fish in the iron bucket to the outside of the yard to deal with it.

The three brothers and sisters gathered together and squatted beside the iron bucket to process the small fish.

Xiao Huai remembered his eldest sister-in-law's advice that his brother's legs were fine and he couldn't stand for long periods of time. Standing for long wasn't okay, and squatting certainly wasn't okay either, so he went into the yard and brought him a stool.

"Thank you, Xiao Huai." Wei Jingyuan thanked him while taking the stool. He was very pleased that his brother was so thoughtful.

"You're welcome." Xiao Huai responded in a low voice.

Li Zi looked at her eldest brother cautiously, and when he looked at her, she quickly lowered her head and continued working. After a while, she raised her head and looked at her eldest brother secretly again.

"Just say whatever you want to say, and ask whatever you want to ask." Seeing her actions, Wei Jingyuan was angry and amused.

Li Zi was startled and looked at Xiao Huai.

"Look at me, it's useless. Just say whatever you want to say to your brother and ask whatever you want to ask. Look at me, I won't help you say it, let alone help you ask." Xiao Huai expressed his attitude directly.

Xiao Huai refused so bluntly that Li Zi wanted to cry again.

After hesitating for a long time, Li Zi finally mustered up the courage to ask Wei Jingyuan, "Brother, is my sister-in-law still mad at me? Xiao Huai told me that she's not, but I think she is."

"Xiao Huai is right. Your sister-in-law is not angry with you." Wei Jingyuan said, "If you think she is angry with you, it means you don't understand where you are wrong."

Li Zi's eyes widened in surprise. Her sister-in-law really wasn't angry with her. She didn't believe it when Xiao Huai said it, but now her brother said it too. Should she believe it or not?

Also, the eldest brother said that she felt that the eldest sister-in-law was angry with her because she didn't understand where she was wrong.

But she knew where she was wrong!

"You don't believe it." Wei Jingyuan didn't need to look to know Li Zi didn't believe him. His sister was too naive and easily obsessed with trivial matters. "No, I don't disbelieve it." Li Zi waved her hand hastily, but she had forgotten she was still holding the little fish. As she waved her hand, the fish flew out of her hand and landed on Xiao Huai's clothes.

"Oh, sorry Xiao Huai, I didn't mean it." Li Zi quickly apologized.

"It's okay." Since she was the one washing the clothes, Xiao Huai picked up the little fish expressionlessly. She twisted off the little fish's head and threw it back into the bucket.

Li Zi shuddered all over, feeling that Xiao Huai had twisted off not Xiao Yu's head, but hers.

After swallowing, Li Zi no longer dared to speak and continued to work with her head down.

After pausing in his action of dealing with Xiaoyu, Wei Jingyuan raised his eyebrows and looked at Xiaohuai, and Xiaohuai also looked at him.

Wei Jingyuan's eyes meant to say, "Why are you scaring her?" Xiao Huai replied with a look, "I'm not doing anything, I just want to scare her."

Not far away, Wei Lao Da and Wei Lao San were walking back, each carrying a bundle of firewood. From a distance, I could see the three siblings squatting or sitting together outside the yard.

As I got closer, I first smelled a strong fishy smell and a bloody odor, and I could clearly see that the three siblings were processing small fish.

The fish were really small, but there were quite a few of them.

"Jingyuan, what are you three doing?" Boss Wei asked as he walked over, peering into the bucket. Seeing the densely packed fish inside, the corners of his mouth twitched.

Wei Laosan naturally also saw the fish in the bucket. Although the fish was small, it was meat after all.

"Uncle." Wei Jingyuan greeted him, and when he saw Wei Lao San was there, he called out, "Third Uncle."

"Uncle, Third Uncle."

"Uncle, Third Uncle." Li Zi and Xiao Huai called out in unison.

Staring at the small fish in the bucket, Boss Wei feigned surprise and said, "You must have caught this fish in the river. It's too small. It's covered in bones, and you dared to eat it?"

The implication is that you don't have to worry about getting choked to death by fish bones when eating such small fish.

"It's okay, we are not afraid of thorns." Wei Jingyuan said calmly.

"Yes, we are not afraid of thorns." Li Zi and Xiao Huai echoed in unison.

Boss Wei said, "Xiao Huai, Xiao Li, you are still young. You may not know how many thorns there are on a small fish, and you have never seen how painful it is for someone to be stuck by a thorn."

Li Zi and Xiao Huai looked at Wei Jingyuan, and seeing that he didn't respond, they didn't respond either.

"Jingyuan, how many fish did you catch?" Wei Laosan feigned surprise and said, "Amazing, incredible! You can catch fish even in this cold weather, and you caught so many."

Hearing what Wei Lao San said, the expressions of Wei Jingyuan's brother and sister all turned bad. Based on their understanding of their uncle, when he usually praised them like this, it was because he had his eyes on their things.

What could they possibly be targeting now? Naturally, the small fish they were dealing with.

"Not much, it should be enough for the four of us." Xiao Huai replied calmly.

Wei Laosan seemed to have not heard Xiao Huai's words and asked directly, "Your grandma told me this morning that she wanted to eat fish. Why don't you go to the river and catch some fish today? That would be so filial of you."

"When the fish is cooked, please call me and I will bring a bowl with fish for your grandma. You don't need to bring it to me."

"We caught the fish, so why do we have to ask you, Uncle San, to serve a bowl?" Xiao Huai asked pretending to be confused.

They can pretend, and so can he.
