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

Chapter 195 An own goal

Tao Qiuyi lowered his eyes and looked at his empty arms, then raised his head and looked at Wei Jingyuan's uncomfortable expression.

Well, that's not a good influence.

"Very good." After saying this with gritted teeth, Tao Qiuyi snorted heavily and walked forward.

Very good, I hugged your arm and you told me it was a bad influence. Just wait, if you hug me again, I will definitely throw you over my shoulder and make you lie on the ground to reflect on whether it was a good influence.

"What's good?" Wei Jingyuan took a few quick steps and walked side by side with her.

"It's not a good influence, that's good." Tao Qiuyi suppressed the dark thoughts in his mind, glanced at him lightly, quickened his pace to distance himself from him.

He felt that the way she looked at him just now was very strange, and the hum she made earlier was clearly emotional. Wei Jingyuan thought back to what he had done, and there was nothing wrong with it.

"If two of us are too intimate in public, people will gossip about us, which will have a bad impact on both of us." Wei Jingyuan didn't understand why he had to explain it in particular.

It was indeed a bad influence for her to hold his arm while walking, so there was nothing wrong with him taking his arm back. Wei Jingyuan thought about it several times but still could not come up with a solution. He touched his nose silently and followed her.

After hearing his explanation, Tao Qiuyi paused and ignored him.

Wei Jingyuan hadn't been to the town in the past two years, but he still knew the general routes based on his memories from two years ago. This was much better than Tao Qiuyi, who often came to the town but only knew a few routes.

"Turn right at the next intersection and you will reach the supply and marketing cooperative." Wei Jingyuan gently reminded the person walking in front.

She didn't know the way, but she insisted on walking ahead, leaving a distance between them. He tried to shorten the distance, but every time he walked faster, she would walk faster, keeping a distance between them.

You never know what's around the corner.

As soon as she turned the corner, Tao Qiuyi collided head-on with a man pushing a bicycle. Fortunately, she reacted quickly and dodged even faster.

The man pushing the bicycle suddenly lost his balance and fell to the ground with the bicycle. The man was at the bottom, with the bicycle on top of him, looking both embarrassed and funny.

A scream came out of his mouth.

Tao Qiuyi wasn't a warmhearted person, but she still walked over and lifted the bicycle that was pressing on the man. She asked, "Comrade, are you okay?"

It was her question that touched the pain point of the man lying on the ground, and he burst into tears.

The sight of a grown man lying on the ground crying shocked Tao Qiuyi.

Wei Jingyuan, who was some distance behind Tao Qiuyi, heard the sound and rushed over quickly. Without even glancing at the man crying on the ground, he rushed directly in front of Tao Qiuyi.

He put the bicycle she was carrying aside and anxiously looked her up and down, making sure she was not injured and that there was not even a speck of dirt on her white clothes.

Wei Jingyuan was still worried, but he didn't care about any negative impact at the moment. He took her hand and asked softly, "Are you okay?"

"It's okay." Tao Qiuyi shook her head and pointed at the man lying on the ground crying, "He's in trouble."

A grown man was lying on the ground crying. Wei Jingyuan's expression was hard to describe. He whispered to Tao Qiuyi, "How did he offend you?"

What did he mean by provoking her? Tao Qiuyi turned her head and looked at Wei Jingyuan in confusion. "He didn't provoke me, just now..." Suddenly realizing something, Tao Qiuyi glared at Wei Jingyuan and said angrily, "Wei Jingyuan..."

Tao Qiuyi poked Wei Jingyuan's chest with her slender fingers and asked angrily, "What do you mean? You don't think I hit him and that's why he's crying on the ground, do you?"

She had no idea why the man was crying.

"No, I definitely don't think so." Wei Jingyuan shook his head, his will to survive strong. "You are so kind, you wouldn't just hit someone casually."

He had just thought so, and now he couldn't admit it.

In fact, when he saw her standing aside with her bicycle and a strange man lying on the ground crying, his first thought was that the crying man must have provoked her and was scolded by her.

Seeing her furious, Wei Jingyuan knew that he had misunderstood her and felt extremely guilty.

"Be good, I misunderstood you, I apologize. Don't be angry, or you can beat me up to vent your anger." As he said that, Wei Jingyuan grabbed her other hand and hit himself.

Tao Qiuyi was so embarrassed by him that she didn't know whether to laugh or cry. She put her hand on his chest, unable to hit him. "Okay, okay, it's no big deal. If I hit you after you've apologized, wouldn't that make me feel like I'm being unreasonable?"

Seeing her like this, Wei Jingyuan knew that she had calmed down.

The man lying on the ground crying cried even louder when he saw no one came to help him.

At this time, a middle-aged man came over and helped the man who was crying on the ground. He advised him to think more positively and stop crying, but did not ask him why he was crying on the ground.

Seeing someone helping him, the man stopped crying and stood up. But he did not stand up, but sat on the ground in silence, grieving alone.

Seeing someone coming, Wei Jingyuan let go of Tao Qiuyi's hand, but did not let go of the other hand holding hers.

Another woman came over, looked at Wei Jingyuan and said, "Young man, your wife might have been frightened by this man. Please comfort her. She was just being kind and was trying to help him lift the bicycle off of him."

The middle-aged man also said, "Yes, this man left the supply and marketing cooperative before me. I was walking behind him the whole time. I saw him pushing his bicycle with his head held high while walking, not paying attention to what was ahead."

"He almost collided with this woman who was turning the corner. She reacted quickly and dodged the collision, sending him and his bike crashing to the ground."

"A man was pinned under a bicycle, and a woman helped him lift it off. For some reason, he didn't get up, but instead started crying."

After listening to the aunt and the middle-aged man's story, Wei Jingyuan's guilt turned into worry. He looked her up and down again and asked anxiously, "Did I really not hit you? Are you hurt?"

"You didn't hit me, and I'm not injured." Tao Qiuyi gently patted the back of Wei Jingyuan's hand and whispered to him, "You have to trust my skills."

"I naturally believe in your skills, Qiuyi..." Wei Jingyuan wanted to apologize again, but because of the presence of three strangers, he couldn't say the words of apology, and his big hand holding her hand tightened a little.

Having lived with him for so long, Tao Qiuyi knew exactly what Wei Jingyuan was thinking. She rolled her eyes at him and said, "Alright, I know what you're going to say."

She wasn't angry to begin with. Anyone who hadn't witnessed the situation could have misunderstood. The aunt and the middle-aged man saw it happen firsthand, so they spoke up for her.

Who knows what they would have thought if they hadn't seen it.

It wasn't that she thought the worst of people, but that was human nature. No matter what era it was, people only believed what they saw with their own eyes and would not believe what others said.
