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

Chapter 234 Clear rewards and punishments
In the other room.

Tao Qiuyi personally poured a cup of herbal tea for Li Zi and Xiao Huai, and asked them to sit at the table and drink it slowly.

He took out some fruit candies from the bedside table and gave each of them four. He then pulled out two five-yuan bills and said with a smile, "Today, our two young men have done well. Each of them will receive four candies and five yuan as a reward."

"No, no, no, sister-in-law, we don't want money."

"Yes, yes, sister-in-law, we don't want money."

Li Zi and Xiao Huai hurriedly stood up, waved their hands and said in unison that they didn't want any money.

"You need money." Putting five yuan each on the table in front of Lizi and Xiaohuai, Tao Qiuyi said, "Our family has a clear distinction between rewards and punishments. You two have learned first aid, so you should be rewarded."

"But..." Li Zi was still a little hesitant. She looked at Xiao Huai.

Xiao Huai doesn’t know what to do now.

"Your sister-in-law gave you this as a reward, so take it." Wei Jingyuan came over with two bowls and said jokingly, "Look at me, your big brother. I didn't do anything today, so I didn't get any reward."

"Thank you, sister-in-law." Li Zi and Xiao Huai looked at each other and picked up the five yuan on the table. They carefully folded it and put it into their cotton-padded jacket pockets.

Putting the bowl on the table, Wei Jingyuan said to Tao Qiuyi, "Come and have breakfast."

"Okay." Tao Qiuyi walked to the table and sat down. She picked up a steamed bun from the bowl and ate it piece by piece. After a few bites, she choked. She put the bun down and took a big gulp of the egg drop soup.

Put down the bowl, pick up the steamed bun and continue eating.

Wei Jingyuan sat down beside her and looked at her several times, wanting to say something but stopping himself.

After swallowing the steamed bun in his mouth, Tao Qiuyi looked at Wei Jingyuan unhappily. "Just ask whatever you want to ask. Your hesitation is ruining my appetite."

"If grandma doesn't go to the hospital for a check-up, will something really happen to her?" Wei Jingyuan asked. No matter how badly his grandma treated him, she was still his grandma.

It would be fine if he didn't know, but now that he knew, he couldn't just stand there and watch her get into trouble.

"I knew you would ask this." Tao Qiuyi had an expression as if he was predicting everything.

At the door of Li Hongying's house, he warned Wei Lao Da and the others, then left without looking back. In fact, he was still worried, because Li Hongying was his grandmother after all.

No matter how harshly Li Hongying treated him in the past, he would never care about Li Hongying's life or death.

Tao Qiuyi believed that even if Li Hongying wasn't Wei Jingyuan's grandmother, he would still have reminded her. He was a village doctor and a retired soldier, and he put people's lives and safety first.

Wei Jingyuan's eyes flashed with guilt. "It's my fault. Don't rush to answer. Eat breakfast first."

"It's okay." Tao Qiuyi waved her hand nonchalantly and gave a positive answer. "If your grandma doesn't go to the hospital for a checkup, something will definitely happen to her."

"There are many causes of cardiac arrest, but considering your grandmother's age, it's most likely a heart problem."

"It's a heart problem." Wei Jingyuan frowned. Other diseases are easy to deal with, but heart disease is not easy to cure.

Seeing his worry, Tao Qiuyi said, "Heart problems can be big or small, and guessing is useless. We have to wait for the test results to be confirmed."

"Li Zi and Xiao Huai just brought her back from the brink of death. Even if she feels something, it won't be too obvious and can be easily overlooked."

"If she notices she's feeling unwell and then gets sent to the town hospital for treatment, there will be some damage. So it's best to get her checked out immediately and get treatment if the problem is identified."

Wei Jingyuan knew she was right, but with his eldest and third uncles present, it wasn't his place to speak about Grandma's affairs. Li Zi and Xiao Huai finished their tea and went to their desks to study.

Tao Qiuyi was slowly tearing the steamed bun and eating it. Suddenly, she thought of something and swallowed the bun in her mouth. She asked, "Your grandmother's problem hasn't been solved yet. Do you still want to go up the mountain with me?"

"Yes." Wei Jingyuan said it firmly, and then told her, "I'm going to go out for a while. Wait for me in the room after breakfast."

"Where are you going?" Tao Qiuyi asked, thinking to himself, he wouldn't want to take Li Hongying to the town hospital himself.

Wei Jingyuan had already stood up and was walking towards the door. When he heard her question, he replied, "I'll go find my fourth uncle and ask him to take care of grandma's affairs."

"Go, go, go quickly, the sooner you go, the sooner you come back." This is a good idea. Fourth Uncle is the team leader, and Wei Lao Da and Wei Lao San will more or less listen to him.

The difficult one is Li Hongying, so it’s better to leave it to her sons to take care of her.

After breakfast, Wei Jingyuan still hadn't returned, and Tao Qiuyi was getting bored waiting inside. Hearing the chirping of birds from the roof outside, he picked up his half-eaten steamed bun and walked outside.

When the bird saw Tao Qiuyi coming out, it hurriedly called her.

"Qiuqiu, here, I'm here."

"Qiuqiu."

Qiuqiu, she seemed to have heard these two words before, her impression was a little vague, but she was sure it was not a bird's call. Tao Qiuyi thought about it, but still couldn't remember who called her Qiuqiu.

If you can't remember, then don't think about it. Tao Qiuyi never makes things difficult for herself. She waved to the two birds. She walked to the door of the next door, opened it, and walked in first.

The bird flew into the house from the doorway after her and then landed on the ground.

After closing the door, Tao Qiuyi took a straw mat and sat down. He tore the steamed bun in his hand into small pieces and put them on the ground for the birds to eat.

The first bird pecks at the food, and the second bird speaks. One bird eats, and the other speaks. The picture is very harmonious.

"Qiuqiu, there's been another incident in the mountains. Those people discovered that four of their companions were dead."

"They were very angry. Some said the four companions were poisoned to death. Some said they were beaten to death because the deputy captain's legs were broken."

"They were clamoring for revenge and saying they wanted to capture the man who poisoned their companion, torture him severely, and then kill him."

"They found out so quickly." Tao Qiuyi was a little surprised. It was a day earlier than she had expected. She had estimated that it would take two days for the fake soldiers to find out their companions were dead.

She didn't bury the body with the boy, so she wasn't afraid of being discovered by those fake soldiers.

"Yeah, yeah, it was fast."

Tao Qiuyi glanced at the bird jumping on the ground and asked, "Where is that boy? Has he been discovered by those fake soldiers?"

"No, the boy returned to the cave where he lived and never came out again."

Being an obedient child, Tao Qiuyi asked again, "Did those fake soldiers discover that the boy was not dead?"

"They discovered it. They suspected that the boy had killed their companion. They said they must find him and break his legs."

Finding someone and breaking their legs was cruel enough, but they didn't kill him outright because he was still useful. Those fake soldiers still wanted the boy to lead the way to find something, so they naturally didn't want to kill him.

"Breaking his legs is to prevent him from escaping again." Tao Qiuyi snorted coldly.
