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

Chapter 50 My Legs Are Really Broken
Looking at Wei Jingyuan closely, Tao Qiuyi could see every subtle expression on his face.

She also clearly heard his heartbeat quicken because of her words, and she didn't know what he was thinking about, but he suddenly calmed down.

However, she really didn't like the self-deprecating smile on his face.

"Is your leg really broken?" Tao Qiuyi squatted down and looked at his injured leg very seriously.

Since Wei Jingyuan didn't say it on his own initiative, Tao Qiuyi never asked about the condition of his injured leg, because she knew that no one could accept that their leg was injured and the doctor determined that it could not be cured, and they would become what people called a cripple.

Wei Jingyuan is a soldier, and his injured leg is the biggest pain in his heart.

Sadly, his so-called relatives always use his injured leg to hurt him.

"It's useless." As a man, Wei Jingyuan felt very uncomfortable when a woman looked at his legs so seriously.

Tao Qiuyi stood up and said, "It doesn't matter if it's useless. I will first take care of your body, and then take you to the hospital for a thorough examination of your leg. Based on the examination report, I will find a way to cure your leg."

"What did you say?" Wei Jingyuan stood up excitedly.

"Why are you suddenly so excited?" Tao Qiuyi took a step back, clenched her fist and waved it, warning him, "Don't scare me, or I'll beat you up."

His excitement cooled instantly, and Wei Jingyuan looked at her childish actions speechlessly. Who was scaring whom?
This little spy not only likes to beat people, but also likes to turn the tables.

It was obviously she who scared him.

After calming down, he figured it out. She was a spy. Spies would do anything to complete their mission. They would say anything and do anything. It was normal for her to deceive him by saying a few nice words.

"Brother, sister-in-law, it's time to eat buns and drink chicken soup." Li Zi walked in holding a pair of bamboo chopsticks and a few bamboo bowls, followed by Xiao Huai holding an aluminum basin in both hands.

"Why don't you ask me to help you get it?" Tao Qiuyi went to take the aluminum basin from Xiao Huai, but Xiao Huai didn't give it to her. "Sister-in-law, just help me get the buns from the top."

Tao Qiuyi picked up the steamer lid and quickly stepped aside to make way for Xiao Huai. "Put it on the stone quickly, don't get burned."

"It's not hot because it's separated by the loofah flesh dipped in cold water." Xiao Huai smiled, walked to the stone, and carefully placed the aluminum basin on it.

Li Zi gave the bamboo bowl and chopsticks to Xiao Huai, filled a bamboo spoon with half a bowl of chicken soup and some chicken meat, and handed it to Wei Jingyuan. Xiao Huai brought chopsticks, and Tao Qiuyi followed with a bun.

Wei Jingyuan's mouth twitched. The three of them cooperated very well.

A bitter feeling welled up in my heart, as the three of them were all taking care of him without any prior agreement.

Looking at the bamboo bowl and chopsticks, the chicken soup and buns, Wei Jingyuan didn't know what to say for a moment.

The kitchen was emptied by grandma and the others. He didn't see it, but he could imagine it from their description.

Seeing him staring at the bamboo bowl, Tao Qiuyi said, "This is just for temporary use. I'll go to town to buy some pots, pans, and utensils tomorrow."

"That's a good idea." After saying this stiffly, Wei Jingyuan took the bowl and chopsticks and the buns, lowered his head and started eating. He wanted to recover as soon as possible and no longer drag down the three of them.

Tao Qiuyi took a sip of the chicken soup and praised it, "It smells really good. I don't know which expert came out of that corner of the world who said we can't eat leftover food. This leftover chicken soup still smells just as good."

After saying that, he took a bun and started eating it.

"Sister-in-law, why can't we eat leftover food?" Curious baby Li Zi asked humbly.

After swallowing the bun in his mouth, Tao Qiuyi replied, "It is said that leftover food will produce some substance that is carcinogenic." "What is carcinogenic?" Li Zi asked again.

“It’s cancer.”

“Cancer is…”

Biting his own bun, Tao Qiuyi reached out and grabbed a bun and stuffed it into Li's mouth, then took out the bun in his own mouth and continued eating.

Li Zi took the bun out of her mouth and looked at Xiao Huai.

"Eat buns." Xiao Huai had already eaten half of the bun in his hand.

The four of them didn't say anything else and quickly finished their chicken soup and buns. Li Zi went to wash the dishes. Tao Qiuyi asked Wei Jingyuan to lie on the bed and rest, and she and Xiao Huai went back to the yard to continue working with bamboo.

Xiao Huai said that the bamboo was too long to be split into strips, so it had to be cut into three sections.

So, Xiao Huai chopped the bamboo, and Tao Qiuyi helped him hold it down.

"Xiao Huai, what happened when I was not at home in the morning?" Tao Qiuyi asked.

Xiao Huai was stunned and looked at Tao Qiuyi in surprise.

He thought she wouldn't ask!
Seeing his thoughts, Tao Qiuyi smiled and said, "I followed you and Lizi to find your eldest brother when I got back. I didn't have time to ask you what happened this morning."

"Lizi is simple-minded and has trouble noticing details, so she's not easy to explain. I won't ask her. You're smart, quick-witted, and quite expressive, so I'll ask you."

Xiao Huai lowered his head in embarrassment when she saw what he was thinking.

It turned out that she didn't not ask, but she just didn't have the time to ask.

Xiao Huai said slowly, "Early this morning, grandma, uncle, third uncle, and auntie came to our room looking for my eldest brother. They asked me and me to stay inside and listen. Grandma said that my third uncle and auntie were willing to pay another hundred yuan for the room next door, and asked my eldest brother to sell it to them."

"My eldest brother didn't agree. He said that the woodshed where my eldest sister-in-law and Xiaoli slept last night was very cold. We can't let my eldest sister-in-law and Xiaoli sleep there all the time. That room can't be sold."

"Grandma and Third Aunt started scolding the four of us, and Third Uncle joined in, while Eldest Uncle just stood there and watched."

"My eldest brother didn't say anything, but he was very determined not to sell the house. My third uncle came to the bed and wanted to hit my eldest brother. I was at the bedside and my eldest brother blocked his attack, so my third uncle slapped me in the face."

"When Lizi saw me being beaten, she rushed over to try to stop it and was also slapped. My eldest brother was very angry and got out of bed to kick my third uncle out of the house, but was pulled back by my grandmother and third aunt. My eldest uncle was watching from the side, and my grandmother scolded him for not helping. Then my eldest uncle also persuaded my eldest brother to sell the house next door to my third uncle and aunt."

"My eldest brother said that they had just signed the agreement yesterday, and it was impossible for them to go back on their word today. Grandma was so angry that she scolded both our parents. Then my eldest aunt brought two cousins from my third grandfather's family and said that my third grandfather was sick and asked my eldest brother to go and treat him."

"They used the chairs they brought to carry my eldest brother to my third grandfather's house. Li Zi and I wanted to go with them, but grandma wouldn't let us. So we could only wait for my eldest sister-in-law to come back."

It turned out that they were fighting for the room next door. Tao Qiuyi curled her lips slightly. It seemed that they found out that the rooms were not divided evenly, so they moved their opinion to the room that was supposed to belong to them but was actually still occupied by them.

Li Hongying and others were the masterminds, and the two grandsons of Wei Sanye were accomplices. They had even prepared chairs in advance to carry Wei Jingyuan away.

The beating they received was not unjust.

Seeing Tao Qiuyi silent, Xiao Huai thought she was worried that her eldest brother would sell the house, so he comforted her, "Don't worry, sister-in-law, no matter how grandma and the others scold us, my eldest brother will never sell the house."
