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

Chapter 266 The Poor Little Fatty

At this moment, an aunt whispered to the person next to her, "It seems that Li Hongying has been bullied terribly this time. She can't even stand up and has to rely on her eldest son and daughter-in-law for support."

“I think so too. Li Hongying is such a tough person in our village. Since I married into this village, I’ve only ever seen her chasing and beating people. This is the first time I’ve seen her being bullied.”

"Jingyuan married a shrew, there's no peace at home now, from now on..."

"Hey, do you think the Huang family knows that Tao Qiuyi is such a shrew?"

"Who knows? The Huang family are all wicked."

"It's hard to say. Although Tao Qiuyi grew up in our village, we only see her once a year, so how would we know what kind of person she is?"

"That's right, the Huang family didn't let her out either, so how are we supposed to see her?"

"Luckily, Jingyuan married her, otherwise..."

"Otherwise what?"

"Otherwise, you all know what's going on, so why are you asking me? Humph."

Hearing the murmurs of the crowd, Wei Jingyuan frowned and tightened his grip on Tao Qiuyi's hand.

Tao Qiuyi had been keeping her eyes down, ignoring the chatter. Suddenly, the large hand gripping hers tightened, and she looked up at Wei Jingyuan with surprise.

He realized that he was influenced by the discussions of the crowd, and he sighed inwardly.

Leaning slightly closer to Wei Jingyuan, Tao Qiuyi said in a voice only the two of them could hear, "Someone once said, 'Walk your own path and let others bark.'"

Hearing her words, Wei Jingyuan lowered his eyes to look at her. Tao Qiuyi smiled at him and said nothing more.

Seeing that she didn't care at all and that everyone was talking about her, Wei Jingyuan's frustration dissipated considerably.

"Patriotism," Wei Laosan said to Wei Aiguo, "Son, don't be afraid. Tell me what grievances you've suffered. Your third grandfather is here, and he will stand up for you and Grandma."

Upon hearing Wei Laosan's words, fear flashed across Wei Aiguo's face. He sat on the ground, not daring to move, his pleading eyes fixed on his mother, Li Yuegui.

Li Yuegui reached out and wiped the sweat from Wei Aiguo's forehead, comforting him, "Aiguo, don't be afraid! Tell us all the grievances you've suffered. Your third grandfather is here, and he will definitely get justice for you."

Wei Aiguo was so angry he wanted to curse. He didn't want justice; he just wanted to stop the pain. Everyone kept trying to get him to speak, but no one noticed that he was in excruciating pain.

He couldn't even speak out of pain, so how could he cooperate with their acting?

It is said that a mother and child are connected at heart, and this is absolutely true. Li Yuegui noticed that something was wrong with Wei Aiguo.

"Aiguo, Aiguo, my good son, what's wrong?" Squatting in front of Wei Aiguo, Li Yuegui touched his pale face. "Say something, tell Mom what's wrong, where does it hurt?"

"Mom..." Wei Aiguo cried out "Mom" with difficulty. Finally, someone noticed that he was in pain.

"Hey! Hey, Mom's here, Mom's here, my dear son, what's wrong? Tell Mom, what's wrong with you?" Li Yuegui was so anxious that she wanted to cry too.

But she couldn't cry; her son still needed her.

"Mom, I...I'm in pain...my whole body...aches," Wei Aiguo said haltingly.

Hearing her son cry out in pain, Li Yuegui was overwhelmed with heartache. "Where does it hurt? Where is it?"

Wei Aiguo fell silent again, only breathing heavily.

Tao Qiuyi looked at Li Yuegui and Wei Aiguo, mother and son, and couldn't help but laugh at their conversation. Neither of them seemed to be very bright.

Wei Aiguo, the chubby boy, was clearly in bad shape. Instead of taking him to the hospital for treatment, these people were wasting time here.

Turning her head, Tao Qiuyi noticed Wei Jingyuan's solemn expression and knew that he had also noticed it.

"Is the little fat boy's condition not good?" Tao Qiuyi asked in a low voice.

“It’s very bad.” Wei Jingyuan nodded.

Tao Qiuyi was puzzled. "That shouldn't be! I didn't use much force when I stepped on his chest. How did he end up like this? He looks like he has suffered serious internal injuries. It's really strange."

Wei Jingyuan was also wondering how Wei Aiguo had become like this when he heard Tao Qiuyi's words. He suddenly had an epiphany and a guess came to his mind.

Seeing Wei Jingyuan's expression, Tao Qiuyi knew he must have thought of something. She asked softly, "Have you thought of something?"

Wei Jingyuan nodded and glanced at Li Hongying.

Tao Qiuyi instantly understood what had happened: "It was your grandma who threw the little fat boy, causing him injury. Then, when she got up, she caused him a second injury."

If her guess was right, then Wei Aiguo, the chubby boy, was going to suffer. His injuries were compounded, and he was being dragged along; poor little chubby.

Tao Qiuyi silently lit a candle for Wei Aiguo, the chubby boy.

"Wei Laosan, something's happened to Aiguo! Come quickly and take a look!" Li Yuegui shouted anxiously to Wei Laosan.

"What happened?" Wei Laosan, who was standing nearby, quickly squatted down in front of Wei Aiguo when he heard Li Yuegui calling him.

Seeing Wei Aiguo's pale face and sweat beading on his forehead, Wei Laosan realized something was wrong and immediately looked at Wei Laoda, "Big brother, Aiguo is really in trouble."

"They were fine just a moment ago, how come they're suddenly not feeling well?" Boss Wei frowned, before he could say anything. Li Hongying's expression changed, she pushed Zhou Mei aside, and rushed to Wei Aiguo's side.

Li Yuegui, who was guarding Wei Aiguo, squeezed to the side, while Li Hongying looked at the chubby boy with heartache. "My dear grandson, my dear grandson, what's wrong?"

"It must have been that little slut Tao Qiuyi who did it. She just stepped on your heart and broke it."

"Mother, what did you say?" Li Yuegui glared at Li Hongying with eyes blazing with fury.

“I said, my precious grandson must have been trampled by that little slut Tao Qiuyi,” Li Hongying said again, raising her voice.

Was it trampled? How did it get trampled? Can a person be trampled and damaged? Everyone was full of questions, and their eyes all turned to Tao Qiuyi, who was standing next to Wei Jingyuan.

"Tao Qiuyi, you stepped on my son! You actually stepped on my son!" Li Yuegui stood up, her eyes bloodshot as she stared at Tao Qiuyi. She spoke each word slowly and deliberately, through gritted teeth, "You stepped on my son?"

"It's too late to question her now that she's already stepped on it," Tao Qiuyi was about to confront Li Yuegui when Wei Jingyuan stepped aside and shielded her behind him.

Looking at Li Yuegui with a cold gaze, Wei Jingyuan said in a deep voice, "Third Aunt, it's okay to be stupid, but don't be too stupid, or you'll be led by the nose."

He...he called her stupid. This was the first time Li Yuegui had been called stupid by Wei Jingyuan in front of everyone, and she was momentarily speechless.

"You unfilial and disobedient dog, what do you mean by saying that?" Li Hongying jumped up and cursed Wei Jingyuan, her posture full of energy, showing no trace of weakness or unsteadiness.

Everyone was stunned.

Wei the eldest wanted to remind his mother, but he didn't dare do so in front of so many people. Especially with his third uncle watching, he couldn't let his uncle suspect what he had done.
