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

Chapter 267 Plan Failed
After a moment of stunned silence, the crowd began to whisper among themselves again.

This time, the topic of conversation was Li Hongying. "Oh my goodness, Aunt Li... suddenly got better?"

"What do you mean she suddenly got better? She was clearly faking it before. How despicable! She actually pretended to be weak to deceive us. That's really too much."

"Seeing her leaning weakly against Zhou Mei, I thought she had really been bullied terribly. But it turns out she was faking it. She even fooled us old sisters. That's too much."

"Is Aunt Li's weakness an act? Could Wei Aiguo's chest pain also be an act?"

"You know what, it's actually quite possible."

Li Yuegui could only swallow her anger when Wei Jingyuan called her stupid. But now she was hearing people say that her son's distress was also an act, and she couldn't stand that.

"Impossible! My Aiguo is the most obedient and good child. He would never do such a despicable thing!" Li Yuegui retorted angrily to those who were gossiping. "Are you all blind?"

"You can't even speak because you can't see my son? And you say he's faking it? Do you have any conscience?"

The aunt standing at the front snorted and retorted to Li Yuegui, "We were just joking, why are you in such a hurry to scold us?"

"Are you just saying that?" Li Yuegui said angrily, her face flushed. She didn't believe the aunt's words at all. "You are clearly ruining my family's reputation for patriotism."

Being targeted by Li Yuegui, the aunt also got angry, "How did I ruin Wei Aiguo's reputation?"

“How could you not tarnish my Aiguo’s reputation?” Li Yuegui said. “My Aiguo is in junior high school in town. What are you trying to do by ruining his reputation like this?”

"I really can't explain this to you," the aunt said angrily, turning and walking away.

"Oh dear, what's wrong with this family?"

"Let's go, let's go, it's getting dark. It's better to go home and do some chores than to watch this family put on a show."

One person took the lead and left, and the others didn't want to stay any longer. And so, one by one, they walked out of the Wei family courtyard.

Soon, only the Wei family members remained in the courtyard, along with Grandpa Wei and his two grandsons.

"It's all your fault, you two unfilial and disobedient dogs who caused this mess." This was the first time in Li Hongying's life that she had lost so much face in front of her neighbors.

He was agitated and furious, his face turning red and his neck thick with anger, his eyes glaring fiercely at Wei Jingyuan and Tao Qiuyi.

It's all because of those two bastards that she lost so much face in front of the villagers.

Tao Qiuyi, shielded behind Wei Jingyuan, felt more wronged than Dou E, the legendary heroine. She casually uttered, "Heaven's sins may be forgiven, but self-inflicted sins are unforgivable."

Li Hongying rushed over to hit Tao Qiuyi, but was stopped by Wei Jingyuan. She was furious, "Shameless little..."

"Enough!" Grandpa Wei roared, interrupting Li Hongying's cursing. He looked at Wei Jingyuan, "Jingyuan, go and take a look at the third son's son."

Grandpa Wei had lived to such an old age; he'd seen it all. Seeing Li Hongying jump up and start cursing, he knew he'd likely been used by Boss Wei again.

“No, he’s not allowed to show it to my grandson,” Li Hongying interjected. “He’s been completely infatuated with Tao Qiuyi and only listens to her.”

“He will definitely help Tao Qiuyi, but I don’t believe him.”

The ignorant woman... Grandpa Wei suppressed the anger rising in his heart, "Jingyuan is the village doctor. If you don't let him see your grandson, do you want your grandson to die from pain?"

When her deepest secret was exposed, Li Hongying was so enraged that she lost all reason. Forgetting her fear of Grandpa Wei, Li Hongying questioned, "Third Uncle, how could you say such a thing?"

"Third son, your son is your own son. Whether or not to let Jingyuan see him is your decision." Grandpa Wei San was too lazy to pay attention to Li Hongying and asked Wei Laosan directly.

Li Hongying added, "Third brother, Wei Jingyuan and Tao Qiuyi are in cahoots. You can't trust what he says."

"I..." Wei Laosan was in a dilemma, on one side was his mother, and on the other side was his third uncle, who was very prestigious in the clan.

He can't afford to offend anyone.

Seeing Wei Laosan hesitate, Wei Laosan's grandfather was furious and disappointed.

"Alright, alright, Wei Laosan, Wei Laoda, from now on, if you have any problems, don't come looking for me again." After saying that, Grandpa Wei San turned around and left, but stopped after taking a few steps.

He turned to look at Wei Jingyuan and Tao Qiuyi, "Jingyuan, if you need anything in the future, you can come to your third grandfather."

"Thank you, Third Grandfather," Wei Jingyuan said.

Grandpa Wei nodded, then took his two grandsons and left without looking back.

Watching the three figures leave, Tao Qiuyi couldn't help but find it amusing. Grandpa Wei had just told Wei Laoda and Wei Laosan not to come looking for him, and then immediately told Wei Jingyuan to come to him if he needed anything.

If things are inconsistent, it's like slapping the faces of Wei Laoda and Wei Laosan.

After Grandpa Wei left with his two grandsons, Li Yuegui squatted down and used her sleeve to wipe the sweat from Wei Aiguo's forehead.

Seeing her beloved youngest son in pain, Li Yuegui's heart was bleeding. She wished she could take his pain away from him, so she simply sat on the ground and hugged Wei Aiguo.

Wei Aiguo was already delirious with pain, his body being held tightly. A sudden sharp pain shot through his chest, and he unconsciously cried out, "It hurts, it hurts, it hurts so much..."

She fainted from the pain.

"Aiguo, Aiguo, what's wrong with you?" Li Yuegui was so frightened that she was completely at a loss, tears streaming down her face. "Aiguo, Aiguo, tell Mommy, what's wrong? Where does it hurt?"

Li Yuegui was terrified when she called her son several times without getting a response. She cried out in despair, "Wei Laosan, Wei Laosan..."

"What's wrong? What's wrong with loving your country?" Wei Laosan quickly squatted down to check on Wei Aiguo's condition.

Seeing that his youngest son had fainted, Wei Laosan could no longer care about his elderly mother. He looked up at Wei Jingyuan and said, "Jingyuan, Jingyuan, come quickly and see what's wrong with your cousin."

After saying that, he moved aside to make room for Wei Jingyuan.

At this moment, Wei Laosan was filled with regret.

“Yes, yes, Jingyuan, Jingyuan is the village doctor, he…” Li Yuegui also looked up at Wei Jingyuan, her eyes full of pleading. “Jingyuan, come and see Aiguo.”

Wei Jingyuan turned to look at Tao Qiuyi, who smiled at him. His mind instantly made up; he released Tao Qiuyi's hand and came closer.

"Lay Aiguo flat, I need to examine him." After saying that, Wei Jingyuan squatted down his tall body, grabbed Wei Aiguo's wrist and took his pulse first.

"His pulse is weak and shallow, which is not a good sign," Wei Jingyuan instructed Wei Laosan. "Third Uncle, take off Aiguo's cotton coat. I need to check his chest."

Wei Laosan and Li Yuegui dared not slack off and cooperated perfectly throughout the entire process. They did whatever Wei Jingyuan told them to do.
Li Hongying and Wei Laoda looked at Wei Laosan and his wife, who were completely obedient to Wei Jingyuan's words, and their faces were extremely grim. At the same time, they also knew in their hearts that their carefully arranged plan had failed.
