Chapter 183 Want to pamper her

On the dinner table.

Li Zi and Xiao Huai both sensed a change in the atmosphere. Li Zi was a simple-minded person who didn't think much about the situation, but Xiao Huai was more attentive and observant.

He found that during lunch, the four of them still ate their own food and no one picked up food for anyone else.

At this moment, during the meal, the eldest brother picked up some food for the eldest sister-in-law more than once. Every time the eldest brother put the fried fish in the eldest sister-in-law's bowl, the eldest sister-in-law would look up at the eldest brother, then lower her head and continue eating.

It felt like the relationship between the eldest brother and the eldest sister-in-law was different from before. Xiao Huai bit his chopsticks and frowned at Tao Qiuyi. Did something happen that he didn't know about?
"Xiao Huai, if you're distracted while eating, you'll easily choke and suffer from indigestion." Before, Tao Qiuyi could pretend not to notice when she occasionally glanced at her and Wei Jingyuan, but now...

Looking at her intently, Tao Qiuyi could no longer pretend.

"Really?" Li Zi looked at Xiao Huai and then at Tao Qiuyi with curiosity.

This innocent little girl really believed everything she said. Tao Qiuyi said seriously, "Really? If you don't pay attention while eating and swallow your food whole, you'll easily choke."

"Large chunks of food are difficult to digest in the stomach, so it naturally causes indigestion."

"What happens if you choke? What happens if you have indigestion?" Li Zi asked without hesitation, showing a keen interest in learning.

Tao Qiuyi replied, "Choking can kill people, and indigestion can make your stomach uncomfortable."

"You could die from choking." Li Zi was a little scared and looked at Xiao Huai, "Xiao Huai, you must pay attention when you eat next time. Don't let yourself choke to death."

The sister-in-law just said it casually, but she actually took it seriously. Xiao Huai looked at Li Zi, speechless.

"Did you hear what my sister-in-law and I said?" Li Zi insisted that Xiao Huai give an answer.

"I heard it." Xiao Huai answered brightly.

Looking at the young man's helpless expression as to what to do with the pear, Tao Qiuyi, the instigator, smiled unkindly.

"Eat." Wei Jingyuan placed a fried fish into Tao Qiuyi's bowl with a very natural movement. Seeing her smile happily, he was also happy and wanted to pamper her.

Tao Qiuyi felt like grinding her teeth as she watched the fried fish suddenly appear in her bowl. He was the culprit. If he hadn't been picking up food for her from time to time, Xiao Huai wouldn't have noticed.

Perhaps it was because the two of them had talked it out, Tao Qiuyi felt that Wei Jingyuan's gaze when he looked at her was both passionate and forbearing.

Tao Qiuyi picked up the fried fish from the bowl and put it in Wei Jingyuan's bowl. "I've already eaten a lot of fried fish today. I don't want to eat anymore."

"Okay, then eat a piece of cabbage." Wei Jingyuan put another piece of cabbage leaf into her bowl with good temper.

He noticed that she liked eating cabbage leaves. Knowing that Qiuyi also liked him and was willing to get a marriage certificate with him, he was ecstatic and wanted to treat her better and better.

Wei Jingyuan felt that things that he had never dared to think about before were now very easy and natural to do.

It’s like picking up food for her and watching her eat it. It’s more satisfying than eating it yourself.

When Xiao Huai looked over again, Wei Jingyuan gave him a sidelong glance. He had noticed Xiao Huai occasionally glancing at him and Qiu Yi, and though he said nothing, that didn't mean he hadn't noticed.

Xiao Huai paused, then lowered his head and ate in silence.

Tao Qiuyi finished the rice in the bowl in two or three bites and put down his chopsticks.

"I'm full. You guys take your time eating. I'll go next door to continue researching the prescription for treating asthma." After saying that, Tao Qiuyi stood up. Wei Jingyuan held her wrist. She looked at him in confusion.

"Have some more fish soup." Wei Jingyuan stood up, took Tao Qiuyi's bowl with one hand, and filled her with half a bowl of fish soup.

Tao Qiuyi was about to refuse when a bowl of half-full fish soup was brought to her. He still held her wrist tightly, "Let go of my hand first."

"Okay." Wei Jingyuan withdrew his hand as she wished.

Almost the moment he let go, Tao Qiuyi stepped over the long bench and quickly walked towards the door. "I ate too much fried fish, so I won't drink the fish soup." As the voice fell, Tao Qiuyi's figure had disappeared from the room. The sound of a door opening and closing could be heard from the next door.

Looking at the fish soup in his hand, Wei Jingyuan's eyes darkened as he thought of her fleeing. She ran so fast, did she think he was a monster?
"Brother." Li Zi saw her brother standing there motionless and called out to him.

Wei Jingyuan came back to his senses, glanced at Li Zi, drank half the fish soup in his bowl, and said in a calm voice, "Let's eat."

"Oh." Li Zi lowered her head and continued eating the rice in her bowl.

Xiao Huai looked at his eldest brother, his eyes curious about his attitude towards his eldest sister-in-law...

"Children shouldn't overthink adult matters." Wei Jingyuan looked at Xiao Huai. "After dinner, take Li Zi to study. You and Li Zi will be taking the entrance exam after the New Year, so you won't have much time to study."

"I understand." Xiao Huai replied.

Wei Jingyuan nodded in satisfaction, picked up his chopsticks and continued eating.

On the other side, inside the house.

A bird was eating cornmeal on the ground. Tao Qiuyi sat cross-legged on a straw mat, holding a notebook in his left hand and drawing with a pencil in his right.

The man and the bird were each doing their own thing, and the atmosphere was very harmonious.

Soon, the bird was full, burped, and walked in front of Tao Qiuyi.

"Qiuqiu, look at the companions of the Huang family and tell them that the one you mentioned, Huang Lingyu, is back."

Huang Lingyu returned, and Tao Qiuyi paused holding the pencil. Huang Lingyu had been staying in the town hospital for so long that she had almost forgotten his existence.

"When did she come back?" Tao Qiuyi asked the bird with his head down.

"I came back this afternoon."

I came back this afternoon. Calculating the time, Huang Lingyu stayed in the town hospital for quite some time.

She remembered taking a quick look at the injuries on Huang Lingyu and Wang Chunjuan, and found that Wang Chunjuan's injuries were obviously more serious than Huang Lingyu's.

"Is Wang Chunjuan back?" Tao Qiuyi asked.

"Who is Wang Chunjuan?"

Tao Qiuyi looked at the bird's confused expression and explained with a smile, "Wang Chunjuan is Huang Lingyu's mother. Is she back?"

"came back."

Wang Chunjuan and Huang Lingyu are back together, and the village is going to be lively again. Tao Qiuyi curled her lips. As long as they don't provoke her, everyone will be fine.

"What were Wei Lao Da and Wei Lao San doing today?" Tao Qiuyi asked, and before the bird could answer, he added, "Tell me what the other members of the Wei family did today."

"Big Brother Wei and Third Brother Wei went to the mountains to chop wood and carried it back."

"Li Hongying curses at people at home, and she curses you and your husband the most."

"Zhou Mei and Li Yuegui sometimes join her in cursing."

"Oh, by the way, Li Hongying said today that it must be you who stole their money and tickets."

"Before you and your husband came back, an aunt came to see Li Yuegui."

That auntie should be the auntie Li they met in Jiang Lao's thatched cottage, Li Yuegui's cousin. Tao Qiuyi said, "Okay, I understand. Go and get the companion who is watching the Huang family back."
