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

Chapter 296 Grandpa Tao expresses his gratitude

Although Grandpa Tao's words made sense, Wei Jingyuan still wanted to clarify things for his wife. He said, "She never thought of you as a burden."

“I know.” A smile appeared on Grandpa Tao’s wrinkled face. “That’s why I said she’s a kind girl.”

Wei Jingyuan chimed in, "Yes, she is indeed a kind girl. You have a good eye for people, sir."

"Of course, at my age, I've seen all sorts of people and things." Grandpa Tao's smile deepened.

His smile quickly vanished.

He wasn't there when his son and daughter-in-law gave birth to their granddaughter. He never had the chance to see his own granddaughter, and now he has to rely on her for care. Grandpa Tao felt a mix of emotions.

That kind little girl, though she never called him grandpa, treated him like family.

In contrast, Huang Lingyu, who grew up by his side, was pampered and spoiled since childhood. He accidentally killed someone while trying to save Huang Lingyu and was sent here for reform through labor.

Huang Lingyu came to the countryside as an educated youth a few days later than him. As soon as he arrived, he couldn't wait to reunite with his family. He often heard the villagers say that Huang Lingyu was doing very well in the Huang family after she regained her identity.

His granddaughter nearly drowned after jumping into the river, but was saved by Doctor Wei.

Grandpa Tao said, "Dr. Wei, I haven't had a chance to thank you until now. Thank you for saving her life."

"You're too kind, sir." Wei Jingyuan said calmly and respectfully. "To be honest, I'm the one who found a treasure and got a great deal."

Hearing him say that, Grandpa Tao knew that Wei Jingyuan loved his granddaughter.

He's been there; he knows that when a man treats his wife like a treasure, that's true love.

Grandpa Tao said with relief, "I'm relieved that you value her so much."

Wei Jingyuan's character is impeccable; he didn't mind that she had a grandfather who was a convict.

Wei Jingyuan said, "I not only value her, but I also like her, I really like her."

"Thank you, Dr. Wei, you are such a kind person. Thank you for your kindness as well."

"She's fine," Wei Jingyuan said gently.

"She's fine," three simple words, a heartfelt affirmation. Grandpa Tao, seeing Wei Jingyuan's affection for Tao Qiuyi in his expression, was very pleased.

His granddaughter, his own granddaughter, suffered too much in the Huang family. Having Wei Jingyuan protect her from now on is a blessing in disguise.

Watching Dr. Wei treat Grandpa Tao's wounds, applying medicine and bandaging them, Han Ying and Grandma Chen were stunned by the fact that Grandpa Tao showed no signs of pain and instead spoke calmly to Dr. Wei.

That's incredible.

Outside the bamboo house.

Looking at the bamboo leaves above her head, Tao Qiuyi listened to the voices inside. Her heart was filled with mixed emotions, like a jumbled mess of feelings.

She helped Grandpa Tao and the others only because Grandpa Tao was the original owner's biological grandfather. Since she occupied the original owner's body, she naturally had to bear the original owner's responsibilities.

Taking care of her elderly grandfather was the original owner's responsibility, and also hers.

She felt no affection for Grandpa Tao, only a sense of responsibility.

As Wei Jingyuan walked out of the bamboo house, he saw Tao Qiuyi staring blankly at the bamboo leaves above her head.

Only after hearing the voice did she slowly look at him. Tao Qiuyi asked, "Are you done?"

"Alright," Wei Jingyuan replied, then asked her, "Want to go in and take a look?"

"I won't look anymore. I believe in your abilities, and I have even more faith in the medicine you made." With that, Tao Qiuyi turned and left. Wei Jingyuan quickly followed Tao Qiuyi, walking alongside her.

Wei Jingyuan said, "When I treated Grandpa Tao's wound, he didn't feel much pain at all and calmly chatted with me."

Knowing what he really wanted to say, Tao Qiuyi didn't intend to hide it. "The pill I asked you to give him can numb his legs. Since he has no feeling in his legs, he naturally can't feel the pain."

"I see." Wei Jingyuan suddenly realized; he had guessed it was an anesthetic. But seeing that Grandpa Tao hadn't fainted and was even talking to him, he was still a little unsure. It turned out he was right, just hadn't anticipated it. The anesthetic she made was so precise that it could be targeted to a specific area.

After thinking for a moment, Tao Qiuyi still asked, "Did you leave him the painkiller and anti-inflammatory pills?"

“As you said, I kept three,” Wei Jingyuan replied.

Tao Qiuyi didn't ask any more questions and continued walking forward.

Noticing that she seemed a little down, Wei Jingyuan asked, "What's wrong?"

"It's nothing," Tao Qiuyi replied calmly.

Judging from her voice, she didn't seem to be doing anything wrong. Wei Jingyuan wisely refrained from asking any further questions; Qiuqiu must have heard everything he and Grandpa Tao had said.

He understands that you're feeling down.

After walking for a while, they realized they weren't on the way home. Wei Jingyuan then asked, "Where are we going?"

“Go do something else,” Tao Qiuyi replied.

Soon, the two arrived at the gate of a courtyard. Wei Jingyuan knew whose house this was; it belonged to a branch of the Huang family, and was also the one who led the attack on Han Ying today.

The events of this morning suggest that this person was the mastermind. Thinking of this, Wei Jingyuan knew what Tao Qiuyi was planning.

Similarly, instead of going through the courtyard gate, Tao Qiuyi jumped over the wall and went inside.

Watching him nimbly leap over the courtyard wall, Wei's lips twitched. When she came out of her own courtyard, she had climbed over it, but now she had simply jumped over it.

Is she... no longer going to hide it from him?
Despite his thoughts, Wei Jingyuan still had to do what needed to be done, so he climbed over the wall and went inside.

Without alerting the other residents in the courtyard, Tao Qiuyi went directly to the perpetrator. She quietly slipped into his house, grabbed a piece of clothing, and stuffed it into the man's mouth.

A brutal beating ensued.

Tao Qiuyi only left gracefully after beating the man unconscious.

The next three companies followed the same method.

It was already past midnight when we left the last store.

The two returned to the Wei family home.

"Go inside and warm up for a bit, I'll go to the kitchen to boil some water. Once it's hot, I'll call you out to take a shower, then you can go to sleep," Wei Jingyuan said.

Tao Qiuyi shook her head and said, "I'll go to the kitchen with you to boil water."

Seeing that he wasn't being polite, Wei Jingyuan nodded, took her hand, and walked towards the kitchen.

Tao didn't refuse and let him hold her hand.

The two went to the kitchen, where the water in the pot on the stove had already gone cold.

"Sit down for a bit, I'll start a fire right away." Wei Jingyuan told Tao Qiuyi to sit on the stool for starting the fire, while he himself squatted down by the stove to start a fire.

Tao Qiuyi rested her elbows on her knees, cupped her face in her hands, and looked at Wei Jingyuan with a leisurely air.

"Why are you looking at me like that?" Wei Jingyuan asked.

Tao Qiuyi thought for a moment and asked, "Why are you cooperating with what I'm doing today?"

“You’re my wife. Whatever you want to do, I’ll cooperate with you, and even do it with you,” Wei Jingyuan replied, his tone extremely serious.

"If I weren't your wife, would you not do these things with me?" Tao Qiuyi pouted, clearly not satisfied with the answer.

Seeing his dissatisfaction with his answer, Wei Jingyuan explained, "If you weren't my wife, I'd be avoiding you like the plague. Why would I do these things with you?"
