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

Chapter 313 Admitted

Seeing her expression change several times before finally revealing a look of understanding, Wei Jingyuan assumed she had finally realized that he was different from Xiao Huai in her heart.

who knew...

She propped her head up with one hand, her bright, watery eyes fixed on him. Wei Jingyuan felt uneasy under her gaze. "Why are you looking at me like that?"

He felt guilty, guilty, guilty. His guilty conscience meant he was genuinely jealous, a discovery that instantly piqued Tao Qiuyi's interest.

"Wei Jingyuan," Tao Qiuyi looked at him with a half-smile, "Are you jealous? Are you? You're definitely jealous."

Wei Jingyuan's expression was like a palette that had been accidentally overturned. A few strokes of black, a few strokes of white, a few strokes of green, and finally, pitch black.

He thought she had come to her senses, but all she was thinking was that he was jealous. Jealous of Xiao Huai, his younger brother, who was still just a young boy.

How did she come up with the idea of ​​being jealous?

Seeing his darkened face, Tao Qiuyi tentatively asked, "Your expression keeps changing. Are you angry because I hit the nail on the head?"

After staring at her for a long time, Wei Jingyuan couldn't resist reaching out and tapping her smooth forehead. He frowned and said, "What's going on in that little head of yours?"

"Wei Jingyuan, how dare you assault me!" Tao Qiuyi instantly bristled, put down her water glass, stood up, and was about to pounce on Wei Jingyuan.

"I'm jealous." Wei Jingyuan's words stopped Tao Qiuyi in her tracks. She blinked at him, stammering, "You...you admit it?"

“Yes, I admit it.” Wei Jingyuan looked at her, his deep eyes brimming with sincerity. He continued, “Because you treat me the same way you treat Xiao Huai.”

Slowly placing her feet back on the long bench, Tao Qiuyi said, "Wei Jingyuan, my feelings for you are different from those for Xiao Huai. Xiao Huai is my younger brother, but you are the person I want to spend my life with."

"I wasn't being polite to you either. If I were, I wouldn't have left you with problems I couldn't solve."

Hearing her explanation, Wei Jingyuan's lips curled up slightly.

It was so hard to finally hear what she really felt.

Wei Jingyuan stood up and went to Tao Qiuyi's side, reaching out to pat her head. His gentle, deep voice said, "Qiuqiu, you are also the person I want to spend my life with."

"Yes, we are the people who will spend our lives together." After Tao Qiuyi finished speaking, she felt her heart beating too fast and raised her hand to press her chest.

"What's wrong?" Wei Jingyuan saw her pressing her chest and assumed she was feeling unwell.

"My heart is suddenly beating a little fast," Tao Qiuyi said, frowning, then said something completely unrelated. "I'm fine, let's talk about the old man and Han Ying's injuries."

When she mentioned her heart was racing, Wei Jingyuan assumed it was because of him. He also felt his heart race whenever she was near him.

Just as he was feeling happy, her next words poured cold water on him, chilling him to the bone.

Indeed, one should not have too high expectations of her.

"Sit down and let's talk." Wei Jingyuan led her into the house, intending to discuss Grandpa Tao and Han Ying's injuries. The accident earlier was caused by his jealousy; now, let's get back to the main topic.

After watching Tao Qiuyi sit down, Wei Jingyuan pulled out a long bench next to him and sat down himself.

After he sat down, Tao Qiuyi asked impatiently, "Outside the bamboo house, you said the old man had injuries. What kind of injuries were they? Were they serious?"

"Don't rush, I'll tell you slowly." Reaching out to hold her hand resting on the table, Wei Jingyuan said gently, "The old man's injuries are bruises." Upon hearing the word "bruises," Tao Qiuyi recalled what Han Ying had said. The old man had been dragged off the bed by that person, thrown to the ground, and kicked.

Anger rose from the bottom of her heart. Tao Qiuyi pulled her hand away from Wei Jingyuan's grasp and slammed it on the table. She said in a deep voice, "The bruises on the old man's body were kicked by the person Han Ying mentioned."

“He was kicked.” Wei Jingyuan nodded. “Most of the bruises on the old man’s body are superficial injuries, and they didn’t hurt the inside. In addition, the old man took your life-saving pills, so his life is not in danger.”

"The most troublesome thing right now is the old man's leg injury. Today was the second time he was injured. If it gets worse again, it will become a chronic condition that will be difficult to cure."

Tao Qiuyi said, "Based on your examination results, I will prescribe some medicine powder specifically for the old man's leg injury."

“Okay.” Wei Jingyuan then explained the old man’s leg injury to her in detail. After discussing the old man’s injury, the two then talked about Han Ying’s injury.

After listening to Wei Jingyuan's words, Tao Qiuyi frowned and asked, "You mean you didn't actually find out how serious Han Ying's injury was?"

“Nothing was found.” Wei Jingyuan nodded without any concealment. “The bruises on Han Ying’s stomach were from being kicked. Whether the internal organs were injured cannot be determined by pulse diagnosis alone.”

As soon as Wei Jingyuan spoke, Tao Qiuyi understood what he meant.

"Han Ying is just a child. Because of long-term malnutrition and poor living conditions, she looks much younger than other children her age. How could that person do such a thing? His family is also..." Tao Qiuyi couldn't continue, feeling a bit depressed.

If she hadn't seen it with her own eyes, she would never have imagined that someone could live such a miserable life.

No wonder so many patriots and their families died in the past ten years.

It turns out that nobody treated them like human beings.

Having grown up in a peaceful era, Tao Qiuyi understands her own insignificance. She won't foolishly try to save as many people as possible; she will only protect those she cares about.

Wei Jingyuan couldn't respond to that, so he could only comfort her, "Things will get better, everyone will be alright."

"Mmm." Tao Qiuyi responded softly. Of course she knew things would get better, and she also knew that this was just the darkness before dawn.

But how many people can actually get through this dark period?
After thinking for a moment, Tao Qiuyi said, "I'll go keep an eye on things at the bamboo forest tonight. I'll come back and let you know immediately if anything happens."

Grandma Chen couldn't look after two injured people at the same time, especially since one was seriously injured and the other's condition was unclear.

She actually wanted to go to the bamboo forest alone to keep watch, without including him. Wei Jingyuan was furious; she had just said she wouldn't be polite to him and would dump any problems she couldn't solve on him.

His face darkened, and Wei Jingyuan stared intently at Tao Qiuyi with his deep eyes. He asked in a low voice, "Have you already forgotten what you just said?"

Tao Qiuyi was taken aback. What did he say? What had he forgotten?

Just then, a sharp, cursing voice came from outside, "You two ungrateful wretches! I raised you, and you won't even give me a pheasant? Is this how you repay my kindness in raising you?"

"If I had known this would happen, I would have been better off raising a dog. A dog would be more useful than you guys."

Upon hearing these words, Tao Qiuyi could no longer sit still. She stood up abruptly and strode outside.

Wei Jingyuan also got up.

Upon opening the door, one could see Comrade Li Hongying and Qiu Si struggling with a pheasant. Qiu Si was quite strong, but no match for Li Hongying.
