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

Chapter 5: Fighting the Old Lady of the Wei Family

yard.

The three women of the Wei family, grandmother Li Hongying, aunt Zhou Mei, and third aunt Li Yuegui, were so stunned when they saw the two big men rushing out of the door one after another that they forgot to react.

The two big men who were kicked out of the door like balls were shocked. Their lips moved but no sound came out. The dust raised by their landing covered their faces.

Inside the door, Tao Qiuyi retracted his foot with a helpless look on his face. His body was still too weak. He had only absorbed one tenth of the effect of the pill. If it had been fully absorbed, he could have kicked the two men out of the courtyard wall with one kick.

He bent down, grabbed the clothes on Wei Jingyuan's shoulders, and easily pulled him up. He also picked up his crutches, helped him stand firmly, and gave him the crutches to hold.

"Are you okay?" Tao Qiuyi asked this question very carelessly, because she was reaching out to the little boy who was lying on the ground staring at him blankly.

This sentence is okay, I don’t know who you are asking.

Neither Wei Jingyuan nor Wei Jinghuai answered. The former stood straight with his crutch, looking at her with serious eyes. The latter avoided her hand, got up from the ground by himself, and patted the dust off his clothes.

Having gotten nothing, Tao Qiuyi withdrew his hand and stood up. Turning around, he saw Wei Jingli covering her mouth tightly with both hands, her eyes wide open.

"Pear, come here." Tao Qiuyi waved at Wei Jingli.

Li Zi? Was he calling her? Wei Jingli blinked.

Seeing Tao Qiuyi waving at her, Li Zi was sure that she was calling her, and a strange feeling came over her heart, because no one had ever called her like that.

Thinking of Tao Qiuyi kicking her uncle and third uncle out of the house, she didn't feel scared for some reason, but felt protected instead. She trotted over, not to Tao Qiuyi, but to stand next to Wei Jingyuan.

With her bony little hands grabbing onto the corner of her brother's clothes, Wei Jingli looked at Tao Qiuyi cautiously, fearing that she would not do as she wished and kick her out as well.

The little girl's thoughts were written on her face. Her worry, fear, and pitiful eyes made Tao Qiuyi sad. When she had a fever, the three brothers and sisters took care of her. Although she was asleep, she was conscious and knew everything that was happening around her.

She received their kindness, and naturally returned it. Looking at the three siblings, emaciated by long-term malnutrition, Tao Qiuyi declared as a matter of course, "From today on, you three belong to me. I promise to raise you three to be plump and adorable."

What does it mean to belong to her? Wei Jingyuan and his two siblings were shocked by her bold words, and their expressions and moods varied.

The people in the yard came to their senses at this time. Zhou Mei and Li Yuegui went to support their husbands respectively, and Grandma Li Hongying looked at the four people in the room with gritted teeth.

A lame disabled man, a skinny stupid woman, and two half-grown children as skinny as monkeys. It looked weird no matter how you looked at it.

The eldest son and the third son were pushed out of the door, and it could only be Wei Jingyuan who did it.

Wei Jingyuan used to be a soldier, and even though his legs are disabled now, he still has some strength.

"Wei Jingyuan." Li Hongying's voice was piercing, and she was loud, so she didn't mince words when she cursed. "You're a rebel! You dared to pick a fight with your uncle and your third uncle today? You'll dare to pick a fight with me, your grandmother, tomorrow! You disobey your elders, you disrespectful, unfilial bastard. If I don't teach you a lesson today on behalf of your two damned parents, I'll write the name Li Hongying backwards."

After cursing, he looked around for a handy tool. This wasn't the first time he'd been misunderstood. Wei Jingyuan had a cold face and didn't argue. He subconsciously protected his younger siblings behind him.

What do you mean? Tao Qiuyi blinked in surprise. It was clearly she who kicked the man out, so how did it become Wei Jingyuan who pushed him? At that time, Wei Jingyuan was pushed to the ground and couldn't get up, so how could he fight back?

Li Hongying picked up the bamboo broom from the corner and hit over.

Wei Jingyuan protected his younger brother and sister and reached out to pull Tao Qiuyi. He didn't want her to be beaten by her grandmother because of him. Besides, she had a fever and her body couldn't bear it. He was thick-skinned and it didn't matter if he was beaten a few times.

The person was not pulled, and the bamboo broom did not fall on him. Wei Jingyuan looked at the woman's petite back outside the door in surprise. She was so slender, but seemed to contain endless power.

Grabbing the bamboo broom, Tao Qiuyi used a little force to snatch it away and pounded it into the ground. "Old hag, are you using your eyes to vent your anger? I was the one who kicked your two good-for-nothing sons out, and you're blaming Wei Jingyuan for it. Do you have any shame?"

"Wei Jingyuan was pushed to the ground by your two sons, door and body alike. He was struggling to get up, so how could he have the strength to push your two tall and strong sons?"

"You're spouting nonsense without hesitation, clearly framing Wei Jingyuan and his two siblings. And you call me grandma? Do you even deserve the title? You constantly accuse people of disobeying their elders and being unfilial. You're bringing old feudal ideologies into the new era. Tell me yourself, is there something wrong with your ideology?"

There were problems with her ideological awareness and she had to write a self-criticism and accept ideological transformation. With such a big hat put on her, Li Hongying's face suddenly became very ugly.

"You, you, you..." She pointed at Tao Qiuyi and kept saying "you" for a long time. Her old face turned red and she couldn't utter a single word.

Wei's uncle and aunt, and third uncle and aunt looked at each other, their eyes fixed on Tao Qiuyi.

The eldest aunt and the third aunt just felt that this girl was sharp-tongued and dishonest, and had nothing to do with the rumors that the girl from the Tao family was stupid, timid and easy to bully.

The eldest uncle and the third uncle had a deeper understanding, after all, they were kicked out by that girl.

Their mother, who was so powerful in fighting, suffered a loss at the hands of Tao Qiuyi. What else could they say? They could only be glad that this girl was not a member of their Wei family, and would never become one of their Wei family members.

Wei Jingyuan looked cold and indifferent, making it impossible to tell what he was thinking at the moment.

The twins' expressions were completely different from their eldest brother's. They looked incredulous. Their grandmother had always been the one who beat and scolded them at will. This was the first time someone spoke up for them, and they left their grandmother speechless.

A glimmer of light flashed in Wei Jinghuai's black and white eyes, but quickly disappeared, leaving his face expressionless as usual.

The little girl Wei Jingli looked at Tao Qiuyi's back, her big eyes filled with admiration and joy.

Tao Qiuyi had his back to the three of them, so naturally he didn't know how they would react.

She continued to rail against the old woman, Li Hongying. "What are you talking about? If you're right, refute it. If you can't refute it, you're wrong. You're not right, but you're still jumping around like that, using your title as an elder to bully others. You have a problem with your ideological awareness. If the higher-ups knew about this, they'd definitely make you write a self-criticism and send you for ideological reform."

"Get out of here! Get out of my Wei family right now." Li Hongying was furious. "You unlucky bastard, you murderer's granddaughter, if you want to die, go somewhere far away. Why are you meddling in my affairs? Tell me, who sent you here to cause trouble? Don't even think about leaving today."
