Chapter 179 Xiao Huai sets a trap
Xiao Huai took over, but Wei Jingyuan and Li Zi continued to deal with Xiao Yu and ignored him.

Wei Laosan thought Xiao Huai asked this on purpose, but he had no evidence. He had no choice but to patiently explain, "You asked me to fill a bowl of fish for your grandmother. The fish is also your filial piety to your grandmother."

"Uncle San also wants to eat fish?" Xiao Huai asked again.

Of course he wanted to eat fish, otherwise why would he find this excuse. Wei Lao San thought so in his heart, but a look of disgust appeared on his face, "Such a small fish, your third uncle doesn't like to eat it."

Xiao Huai didn't care what he said and continued, "If Third Uncle wants to eat fish, just go catch it yourself in the river. No one is stopping you, so why are you trying to steal our fish?"

"Rob," this was a serious word. Boss Wei went into the yard to put down the firewood on his back. When he came out, he heard Xiao Huai saying that the third brother had stolen their fish.

He first glanced at Xiao Huai, then his gaze fell on Wei Jingyuan.

Seeing him calmly handling the small fish, his hands were stained with blood and dirt, and his expression was calm and indifferent, as if he didn't hear what Xiao Huai said.

Boss Wei frowned, touching his chin with his hand as if thinking. Jing Yuan was not like this before. Could it be because his lameness was cured and he felt more confident?

"Wei Jinghuai, stop talking nonsense. When did I steal your fish?" Wei Laosan was also shocked by Xiaohuai's words that he stole our fish.

He clearly said that they should respect their grandmother, but Xiao Huai refused to mention the word "filial piety" at all.

"Uncle San said it himself, why is he denying it now?" Xiao Huai frowned.

Wei Lao San was enraged and blurted out his own questions and answers, "What did I say? I didn't say anything. What am I admitting? Why should I admit it?"

"Uncle San, you even forgot what you said. Your memory is so bad." Li Zi added fuel to the fire.

Of course, with Lizi's simple mind, she wouldn't think that her words were adding fuel to the fire. She would only think that she was speaking the truth.

"Yeah, it was Uncle San who told us to cook the fish and then ask you to serve a bowl." Xiao Huai looked at Wei Lao San and asked stupidly, "Didn't Uncle San say that?"

Wei Lao San was speechless. If he didn't admit that he had said this, then all his previous words would be in vain. He coughed lightly and nodded, "I did say this, but that's because..."

"It would be good if Third Uncle admitted that he said that." Xiao Huai interrupted Wei Lao San directly.

If it was his third uncle who admitted it, he wouldn't want to hear his subsequent explanation.

Just admit it, what's the good of it? Wei Laosan was full of questions.

Li Zi's eyes widened, and her voice unconsciously rose. "Uncle San, not only did you steal our fish, but you also asked us to cook it and then ask you to pack it up and take it away. How could you do this?"

"There are only so many fish, and they are so small. If you take the fish away, we will have nothing to eat. It's all in vain."

"I said, it was your grandma who wanted to eat fish. As grandsons, it is only natural for you to respect your grandma." Wei Lao San explained through gritting his teeth.

I felt like Xiao Huai had led me into a dead end, and the more I explained, the less clear it became.

But is it possible? Is it really possible that Xiao Huai, at such a young age, would set a trap for an adult? Wei Lao San stared at Xiao Huai, still finding it hard to believe that Xiao Huai could set a trap for him.

Xiao Huai was about to speak when Wei Jingyuan stopped him with a look.

Lifting his eyes and glancing at Wei Lao San, Wei Jingyuan said, "Grandma wants to eat fish. Uncle San will go to the river to catch some fish for her, and then Aunt San will cook it for her."

The meaning is simple and clear. If you want to eat fish, go catch it from the river and let your wife cook it.

Forget about our fish.

"Wei Jingyuan, you three are your grandmother's grandchildren. Catching some fish for your grandmother is filial piety. Do you want to be unfilial?" Wei Lao San scolded. "Unfilial son, unfilial son." Wei Jingyuan was not annoyed at all, and even said sarcastically, "Third uncle also knows that I am just a grandson, and you are grandma's son. Filial piety is your job as a son."

After hearing this, Boss Wei couldn't help but get angry, "Jing Yuan, your father..."

"Wei Jingyuan's father has been dead for two years. If your uncle wants to find him and talk about brotherhood, you can either burn paper or summon his spirit." A clear and soft voice sounded in the yard, interrupting Boss Wei's words.

"If you are caught in the act, don't blame us."

"You...you..." Boss Wei was so angry that he couldn't say a word. He raised his finger and pointed at Tao Qiuyi, his whole body shaking like he was having a seizure.

Burning paper, summoning spirits, listen to what nonsense she says.

She dared to say such things.

"What do you mean by 'me'?" Tao Qiuyi narrowed his eyes as he walked out of the courtyard gate, staring at Boss Wei pointing his finger at him. "I hate it most when people point their fingers at me."

"Since this is your first offense, I'll let it go this time for Wei Jingyuan's sake. If you do it again, I'll break your finger."

Boss Wei's face changed drastically and he dropped his hands in panic.

He knew in his heart that Tao Qiuyi was not just talking, she really dared to do what she said.

Wei Lao San was so angry that his face turned red and his neck became thick. He cursed, "Tao Qiuyi, you are so unruly. You have learned all the etiquette, righteousness, integrity, and respect for elders."

"I'm sorry, I haven't learned what you said." Tao Qiuyi was originally smiling, but his expression suddenly turned cold. "Have you forgotten the lesson you learned last time so quickly?"

Wei Laosan didn't dare to speak anymore.

Without looking at the two of them again, Tao Qiuyi walked over to the three Wei Jingyuan siblings and squatted down. When Xiao Huai looked at her, she gave him a thumbs up. She heard everything Xiao Huai and Wei Lao San said.

Wei Jingyuan looked at Tao Qiuyi and said, "Why did you come out? It's cold outside. Go back inside to warm up."

"I'm not cold." Tao Qiuyi gave him a bright smile. "I came out to supervise the three of you working. It's been half a day, and you haven't finished processing such a small fish. You must have been lazy."

Li Zi looked at Tao Qiuyi, wanting to speak but not daring to. She had not forgotten that her sister-in-law was still angry with her.

Xiao Huai said: "I'm not lazy, it's just that the fish are too small and not easy to clean."

"Yu Xiao is one reason. Another reason is that you don't have anyone supervising you. I..." Tao Qiuyi patted his shoulder, "I am the one who supervises you."

"Work, work, work quickly! I'm waiting to eat fried fish and drink fish soup."

Tao Qiuyi waved her hand, and the three siblings worked honestly without saying a word.

Seeing her squatting, Wei Jingyuan stood up and offered her his stool. "My hands are dirty. Move the stool over or come sit over here and we'll change seats."

"Thank you." Tao Qiuyi was not polite at all, and reached out to take the stool and sat down. He smiled even more happily, what a good man, what a good man.

It was worth my effort to cure his leg.

"It's my duty." Wei Jingyuan replied.

He accidentally looked up and saw Wei Lao Da and Wei Lao San still standing there, both of them with constipated expressions. Tao Qiuyi's smile faded, "Why are you still standing here?"
