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

Chapter 37 My Family is Really Poor
After Wei Laosan's reminder, Li Yuegui instantly became timid. She couldn't help but feel timid, as her face was still burning with pain.

The third brother was right. They would have to go to Wei Jingyuan tomorrow to sell the house to them. They really couldn't offend Wei Jingyuan at this critical juncture.

"The child just wanted to eat some meat. You shouldn't hit him no matter what you say." Sitting back on the kang angrily, Li Yuegui picked up the handkerchief and put it in the basin to soak it in water. She took it out and wrung it half dry before continuing to apply it on her face.

"Mom..." Wei Aiguo looked at his mother aggrievedly.

"Son, you've already eaten most of the meat in the porcelain bowl today, so don't think about the pheasant. It's very tough and not tasty. Tomorrow, tell your grandma that you want to eat meat, and ask her to go to town and buy a piece of pork belly to make braised pork for you."

Thinking of the braised pork he had today, Wei Aiguo immediately started craving it again.

After calming his noisy son, Wei Laosan lay back down on the kang.

I was hungry, and after hearing all these words, I felt even hungrier.

He was now feeling very nervous, and always felt that his wife's idea was not so easy to achieve. Their family needed that room, and Jing Yuan needed it too. With that room, Jing Yuan would not have to live in the woodshed anymore.

Tao Qiuyi specifically asked for that room, so he must have had the same idea.

the other side.

After the four of them had eaten and drunk their fill, it was gradually getting dark outside.

Li Zi took the initiative to clean up the dishes and was about to wash them, but Tao Qiuyi stopped her.

"Li Zi, put down the dishes first and wash them later. I have two things to announce." Tao Qiuyi looked at Li Zi and Xiao Huai, and his gaze finally fell on Wei Jingyuan's face.

"First of all, Fourth Uncle said the injury on your back is very serious, but fortunately the skin isn't broken, and the bones aren't injured. You'll be fine after resting at home for a while. I didn't let Xiao Huai apply the blood-activating and blood-stasis-removing medicinal wine Fourth Uncle gave you. I applied the ointment I made myself."

"From now on, you must stay in bed and recuperate except for going to the bathroom. When I'm home, I'll keep an eye on you myself. When I'm not home, Xiao Huai and Li Zi will help me keep an eye on you."

Looking at her chattering mouth, Wei Jingyuan felt an indescribable feeling in his heart.

"You and Xiao Huai will sleep in the room tonight, and Li Zi and I will sleep in the woodshed." Seeing Wei Jingyuan about to object, Tao Qiuyi spoke before him, "Li Zi and I agreed on this decision, don't even think about arguing."

"Yes, my sister-in-law and I have agreed to sleep in the woodshed tonight." Li Zi agreed.

"No." Wei Jingyuan disagreed. He and Xiao Huai were both men, so if anyone wanted to sleep in the woodshed, it should be him and Xiao Huai. No matter what, two girls could not be allowed to sleep in the woodshed.

He felt sorry for his sister, not for the little spy. "My injuries have healed a lot. It's okay for me to sleep in the woodshed. But you and Li Zi are girls, so you can't..."

"There's no such thing as can or can't." Tao Qiuyi interrupted him, "You can sleep in the woodshed for two years, so Li Zi and I can sleep in the woodshed for one night. Tomorrow I'll ask them to vacate the room next door, and Li Zi and I will move in."

"Second thing, I'm going to town to buy some things tomorrow. Xiao Huai and Li Zi will stay home to take care of your eldest brother. Remember, only take care of your eldest brother. No matter what others ask you to do, ignore them."

"If anyone comes to see your eldest brother for medicine or medical treatment, for emergencies, have them brought home. For minor cases, wait a few days until your eldest brother's injuries have healed before coming back."

After giving the instructions, Tao Qiuyi told Xiao Huai to take care of his elder brother and let him rest early, then he went out.

Wei Jingyuan looked at her slender back as she left, thoughtfully thinking, as a spy, she was so concerned about him and his younger siblings, wasn't she too dedicated?

Li Zi took the dishes to the kitchen to wash them, leaving the two brothers looking at each other in silence.

Tao Qiuyi was serious about sleeping in the woodshed. Wei Jingyuan couldn't persuade her, so he had Xiao Huai bring them the thicker quilt from the house and take the original quilt from the woodshed back inside. Behind the dim firewood pile, Tao Qiuyi sat on a straw mat, lost in thought.

Tao Qiuyi sighed as he touched the quilt intermittently. "Oh, my family is really poor. The straw mat is really hard to come by, and this quilt is really thin."

"Sister-in-law, are you in there?" Li Zi's voice came from the kitchen door.

"Yes." Tao Qiuyi responded loudly, "It's dark in the room, be careful when you walk, don't trip over the firewood."

"Okay." Li Zi responded, closed the kitchen door and walked in, handing the things in her hand to Tao Qiuyi.

After blinking, Tao Qiuyi saw clearly that what Li Zi was holding was a pair of cloth shoes.

"You finished it so quickly." Tao Qiuyi was pleasantly surprised as she took the cloth shoes with both hands. She finally didn't have to wear straw shoes anymore.

"Well... not very fast." Li Zi felt a little embarrassed by the praise.

"It's fast enough." It was faster than she expected. Tao Qiuyi pulled Li Zi to sit next to him and said, "Li Zi, don't go anywhere these few days. Just stay in the house and watch over your eldest brother while I make shoes for our family of four."

"If you don't have enough cloth for shoes, tell me and I'll buy some from town."

"We...are a family of four?" Li Zi was surprised by Tao Qiuyi's words.

Tao Qiuyi put on cloth shoes for the first time and walked a few steps. She immediately liked the light and comfortable feeling and decided to ask Li Zi to make a few more pairs of cloth shoes for her.

From now on, she will wear cloth shoes unless it rains.

"Lizi, let's just make do tonight. Don't take off your clothes when you go to bed, or you'll catch a cold." Tao Qiuyi said as he took off his cloth shoes. He turned around and saw Lizi sitting there in a daze. He stretched out his hand and waved it in front of her. "What's wrong?"

Li Zi came back to her senses, blinked and looked at Tao Qiuyi.

"Sister-in-law..." This call of "sister-in-law" was full of emotion. Li Zi's lips moved a few times, and finally she only uttered two words. "Thank you."

Thank you, sister-in-law, for coming to their home. Thank you, sister-in-law, for marrying brother. Thank you, sister-in-law, for being so kind to her and her brothers. Thank you, sister-in-law, for protecting her and her brothers...

"Silly girl, why thank me? We are a family." Tao Qiuyi laughed and reached out to pinch Li Zi's face. "You don't have any flesh on your face. Eat more and grow some flesh soon."

"Yeah." Li Zi nodded heavily.

"You're so obedient." Tao Qiuyi praised with a smile and patted Li Zi's thin shoulder. "Go to sleep."

"Okay." Li Zi responded obediently, took off her shoes, crawled inside and lay down, pulling the quilt over her.

Tao Qiuyi lay down beside Li Zi with her clothes on. She had used this quilt for two nights and knew its thickness very well.

Lying on the straw mat, Tao Qiuyi felt like he was just waiting to be buried in the soil, but he fell asleep quickly.

Wind blew in from the roof on all sides, and even with the quilt covering him, he was not warm. In the middle of the night, Tao Qiuyi was woken by the cold and could not fall asleep again. Sleeping in cotton clothes was not warm anyway.

After looking at Li Zi who was sleeping soundly beside her, she entered the ring space.
