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

Chapter 222 Never Show Off Your Strength
The moment he was embraced, Wei Jingyuan was startled, then filled with ecstasy. Unfortunately, the feeling was fleeting, and he couldn't help feeling disappointed.

This was the first time he had experienced such a rollercoaster of emotions.

"Let's go. Li Zi and Xiao Huai will be worried if we don't go back." After saying that, Tao Qiuyi dragged the two trees towards the village.

Looking back at the mountains behind him, Wei Jingyuan's eyes flashed with awe. He quickly walked to her side and said, "Qiu Yi, don't go into the mountains recently."

"If you don't have all the herbs needed to treat asthma, tell me which ones are missing and I'll go look for them at Mr. Jiang's pharmacy."

Tao Qiuyi tilted her head to look at him and said, "No need. I've already gathered all the herbs. I'll make the pills tonight."

"Do you need my help?" Wei Jingyuan secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Now that she had found all the herbs to treat asthma, she didn't have to go into the mountains again.

I was about to say no, but before I could say anything, Tao Qiuyi changed her tune. "Your main task now is to study medicine with Master Jiang and the textbooks I bought for you."

Calculating the time, in half a month, the news of the resumption of the college entrance examination will spread across the country. The educated youth who went to the countryside from all over the country will become the main force of this year's college entrance examination.

However, because of lack of preparation and the sudden news, only a few people were able to pass the college entrance examination this year.

"Okay." Wei Jingyuan responded softly.

Passing by the open space in front of the big bamboo forest, Tao Qiuyi saw that the people were still working, but there were fewer people watching.

The weeds in the vacant lot were pulled clean and stone slabs were laid. Tao Qiuyi sighed, "There's strength in numbers. At this rate, the yard will be completed in less than a month."

Wei Jingyuan said: "Huang Hao is the only high school graduate in our village and he is very capable. If he didn't have asthma, our village's conscription quota wouldn't have fallen to me."

"Hmm?" Tao Qiuyi raised an eyebrow and glanced at Wei Jingyuan, who was walking beside him. It turned out that the opportunity for him to join the army was given by the old branch secretary's family. No wonder the old branch secretary treated him differently.

Noticing her gaze, Wei Jingyuan immediately thought of something and quickly explained, "Don't overthink it. I owed the old Party Secretary's family a favor, and I've already repaid it."

He just wanted to tell her that Huang Hao was capable and trustworthy. He definitely didn't want her to help him because he owed the old Party Secretary's family a favor.

"I paid it back. How did you pay it back?" Tao Qiuyi became interested.

I have to say, she really didn't think much about it.

He's a bit paranoid.

Wei Jingyuan's eyes flashed, and he replied, "I used a second-class merit award to exchange for a job quota in the county. It was originally intended for Huang Hao, but Huang Hao gave it to his younger brother."

Is this even possible? Tao Qiuyi was surprised. She knew that the work during this period could be given to others, but she didn't know that she could use her achievements to exchange for a local job.

Then thinking of the expressions of Li Hongying, Boss Wei and the others, Tao Qiuyi asked, "Will your grandmother and the others agree?"

Tao Qiuyi was asking directly about your grandmother, not your family members.

Wei Jingyuan was stunned at first, but then he understood what she meant. She was not only insightful but also very quick-witted. He shook his head and said, "Of course I disagree, but they don't know."

"You still don't know?" Tao Qiuyi felt that he had asked a nonsense question after asking it.

Of course they didn’t know. If they knew, Li Hongying and the others would have torn Wei Jingyuan apart and eaten him.

Then they would resent the old Party Secretary's family, feeling that they had taken advantage of them. They might even go to the old Party Secretary's house every day to make trouble until they got their job back.

Don't ask her why she had such an idea, she just felt that Li Hongying and others were capable of doing such a thing.

"I don't know," Wei Jingyuan replied. Tao Qiuyi showed a look of astonishment, but at the same time, he admired them for keeping the secret so impeccable.

"Are you not on good terms with Huang Hao?" She remembered Huang Hao calling Wei Jingyuan not by his name, but by the unfamiliar "Doctor Wei." This showed that their relationship wasn't great.

"He's just a village chief, it can't be said to be good or bad." Wei Jingyuan's tone was very calm.

From his tone, Tao Qiuyi knew that he and Huang Hao were just villagers from the same village, nothing more.

In the evening, every household was busy preparing dinner, so I didn't run into many people along the way. After all, dragging two dead trees made a lot of noise, so Tao Qiuyi raised the trunks a little to reduce the noise.

The Wei family’s courtyard gate soon came into view.

There were two figures, one big and one small, standing at the door. They were quite far away, and Wei Jingyuan couldn't see who they were with his eyesight.

Tao Qiuyi saw it clearly and frowned.

How could Li Zi be standing at the door with Zhou Mei? Looking at Li Zi's expression of anger but not daring to speak, Zhou Mei must have said something that upset the little girl.

"Pear." Tao Qiuyi shouted.

The sound was not loud, but it was loud enough for Li Zi and Zhou Mei who were standing at the door to hear.

Hearing her sister-in-law's voice, Lizi turned around and saw her brother and sister-in-law coming back. Lizi breathed a sigh of relief and ran towards them, "Sister-in-law, brother."

Tao Qiuyi saw that Zhou Mei’s face looked very ugly and smiled faintly.

Without stopping, Tao Qiuyi turned his gaze back to Li Zi and asked, "It's cold outside, why are you standing at the door?"

"My sister-in-law hasn't come back yet. My brother went to look for her. I was worried so I just waited for you at the door." Li Zi answered, then said to Wei Jingyuan, "Brother, let me carry the backpack."

Wei Jingyuan nodded, put down the basket on his back and gave it to Li Zi.

Seeing that they had already reached the doorstep, Tao Qiuyi returned the basket to Li Zi. Just as he was about to say something to him, he heard Wei Jingyuan say, "Drag one from the tree for me."

"They are just two dead trees. I can drag them." Tao Qiuyi didn't give it to him.

Wei Jingyuan said, "I know you are stronger than me, but I want to share the burden with you."

Tao Qiuyi blinked, knowing that she was stronger than him, but still wanted to share the burden with her. And he said to share the burden with her, not to help her share the burden.

This sentence sounds like there is no difference, but there is actually a difference.

"Just tell me if you can't drag it anymore. Don't be stubborn." Tao Qiuyi reminded Wei Jingyuan when he gave the dead tree to him.

"Don't worry, I will never show off my strength." Wei Jingyuan nodded in assurance.

Then Tao Qiuyi saw him take the dead tree and his expression froze in astonishment. He dragged the dead tree without any sign of effort, nor did he seem to be trying to show off.

Thinking of the crumbs of the pills she had given him, Tao Qiuyi suddenly understood. She secretly thought that after Wei Jingyuan's leg was fully recovered, she would definitely test his current strength.

"Aunt, please move aside to avoid being hit by branches." Wei Jingyuan looked at Zhou Mei who was standing at the door and looking at him in disbelief.

Wei Jingyuan's limp had healed, and his strength had increased. Zhou Mei's mind was in a tangle, and she retreated to the door in a daze.

The three of them walked into the yard. Zhou Mei stood at the gate, looking at their backs, gritting her teeth in hatred.
