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

Chapter 51 The money from selling the house was spent

Tao Qiuyi was stunned by Xiao Huai's words, but then he understood what he meant.

She said that this boy was smart.

But now he was a little too smart and misunderstood. Tao Qiuyi nodded and said, "I know about this matter. You and Lizi don't have to worry. Your eldest brother and I will take care of it."

"Besides, I'm not worried about your eldest brother selling the house. If he dares to sell it, I'll take you and Li Zi out to live, leaving him here alone to be bullied to death by your grandma and the others."

She...she actually wanted to...take him and Xiaoli out to live. Xiaohuai was shocked by her words.

"What are you doing? Are you scared?" Seeing Xiao Huai staring at him blankly, Tao Qiuyi stretched out his hand and waved it in front of his eyes.

Xiao Huai blinked and asked uncertainly, "You...you want to take Li Zi and me to live out here?"

"Of course, when I leave, I will definitely take you and Li Zi with me." Tao Qiuyi answered as a matter of course, "You and Li Zi are so obedient, of course I have to keep you by my side and use you at my command. How could I possibly leave you two with your grandma?"

Having promised to protect the twins, she would definitely do her best to protect them and would never give up halfway.

"Okay, if you really want to go, Li Zi and I will go with you." Xiao Huai nodded heavily.

He knew that she was only saying that she was ordering him and Li Zi around.

What she meant should be understood as that she would not leave him and Li Zi here to be bullied by grandma and the others.

Seeing Xiao Huai trust him so much, Tao Qiuyi suddenly wanted to tease him, "You trust me so much, aren't you afraid that I will take you and Li Zi out and sell them?"

"Don't be afraid." Xiao Huai said firmly, "You won't sell me and Li Zi."

"That's hard to say." Tao Qiuyi was happy in his heart, but he said something sarcastic, "However, you should think about it again. I respect human rights very much and will never force anyone."

"Not considering it." After the crisp voice fell, Li Zi came over and squatted in front of Tao Qiuyi. Her watery eyes looked into her eyes very seriously and said, "Sister-in-law, if you leave, you must take Xiao Huai and me with you. Don't leave us behind."

"Have you washed the dishes?" Tao Qiuyi was amused by her expression.

"I'm done." Afraid that she wouldn't agree, Li Zi's tone was tearful. "Sister-in-law, where are you going? You can't abandon Xiao Huai and me. Xiao Huai and I will definitely listen to you and do whatever you ask us to do. We will never be lazy."

"Be good, be good, don't let your imagination run wild. I'm not going anywhere for now, but I'll definitely take you with me wherever I go in the future." Suddenly remembering something, Tao Qiuyi pulled Li Zi to her feet. "Come into the house with me."

"Okay." After getting the promise she wanted, Li Zi followed Tao Qiuyi into the house with confidence.

For the time being, and in the future, Xiao Huai silently repeated these two words in his heart and fell into deep thought.

After entering the room, Tao Qiuyi walked directly to the backpack, bent down to untie the sack tied to the backpack, brought it to the bed, untied the rope tied to the mouth of the bag, pulled out the two quilts in the sack and threw them at the end of the bed.

The snow-white cotton is free of impurities and feels warm just by looking at it.

Wei Jingyuan and Li Zi were both stunned.

Tao Qiuyi walked back to the backpack and took out two folded pieces of cotton cloth, one light blue and one gray. Pointing at the cloth, he said to Li Zi, "Look, these two pieces of cloth are enough to make two quilt covers and four pillows."

Li Zi looked at Tao Qiuyi blankly, then at Bu, and was speechless.

Tao Qiuyi suddenly thought of a question she had overlooked, so she asked, "By the way, Lizi, can you make quilt covers and pillows?"

"No." Li Zi shook her head honestly.

"You can't!" Tao Qiuyi's face dropped immediately. He looked at the two pieces of cloth in his hands and said, "What a coincidence! I can't do it either."

She thought that since Li Zi could make cloth shoes, she could definitely make quilt covers as well.

It turned out that I was wrong. When Tao Qiuyi was struggling, Wei Jingyuan spoke, "Fourth Aunt will do it."

"Hmm?" Tao Qiuyi looked at Wei Jingyuan who was leaning against the head of the bed and resting and asked.

"Fourth Auntie knows how to make quilt covers." Wei Jingyuan repeated, his deep eyes looking at the two quilts at the end of the bed, and then at the two pieces of cloth in Tao Qiuyi's hands. "Where did you get these?"

Tao Qiuyi answered without any pressure, "I bought it from the town's supply and marketing cooperative. I used the ticket I earned from selling mushrooms and wood ear mushrooms. I used the money from selling the house yesterday."

These were indeed bought at the supply and marketing cooperative, and those bought on the black market were all placed in her ring space.

"I remember now. Big brother is right." Li Zi, who was a little slow to react, said with a look of sudden enlightenment, "Sister-in-law, I don't know how to make quilt covers, but many aunts and sisters-in-law in the village can do it. Our fourth aunt makes the best quilt covers, especially since our fourth uncle has a sewing machine at home, so it's quick to make."

"I remember that many years ago, when my eldest cousin got married, my fourth uncle and aunt gave him a pair of pillows and a thermos."

"Great." Tao Qiuyi took the sack that had previously contained the quilt, put the two pieces of cloth into it, and carried it away with one hand. "Come on, Lizi, take me to find Fourth Aunt now."

"Okay." Li Zi hurried to follow her.

Xiao Huai, who was tending bamboo in the yard, saw them leaving and casually asked, "Where are you going?"

"Go find Fourth Aunt." Li Zi replied.

Tao Qiuyi instructed Xiao Huai, "Xiao Huai, you stay home and look after your elder brother. Li Zi and I will go to Fourth Uncle's house."

"Okay." Xiao Huai nodded. "Come back early. I'm going to the mountain to collect firewood later."

"You don't have to go collect firewood, I'll do it." Tao Qiuyi glanced at Xiao Huai, "You're so thin, you can't bring back the firewood you collected. I guarantee that I can collect enough firewood for us to burn for ten days to half a month."

After saying that, Tao Qiuyi and Li Zi walked out of the yard.

Feeling discriminated against, Xiao Huai watched their backs disappear.

I'm just... angry.

Fourth Uncle's house was at the other end of the village. Tao Qiuyi and Li Zi walked for about ten minutes before reaching the door.

Li Zi knocked on the door and called out to her Fourth Aunt.

Soon the courtyard gate opened, and Fourth Aunt, standing inside the gate, was stunned when she saw Li Zi and Tao Qiuyi.

"Fourth Aunt." Li Zi called out, pointing at Tao Qiuyi beside her, "Fourth Aunt, this is my sister-in-law."

"Fourth Aunt." Tao Qiuyi called out obediently.

"Hey." The fourth aunt was brought back to her senses by the shouting, and a smile appeared in the corners of her eyes and eyebrows.

"Xiaoli, Qiuyi, come in, come in." She surprised the two girls and invited them to sit in the house. Fourth Aunt poured water and took out fruit candies for the two girls to eat.

He was very busy and finally left the main room.

Only Tao Qiuyi and Li Zi were left in the main room. Tao Qiuyi looked around the room. It was very empty in the middle. On the wall opposite the door were portraits of great men. Further down, many awards were posted side by side. The names on the awards were not from the same person.

A solid wooden cabinet was placed against the wall, with a sewing machine next to it. Li Zi was right, Fourth Aunt's house did have a sewing machine.

Looking around, Tao Qiuyi saw that Fourth Aunt hadn't returned yet. She estimated that five minutes had passed. She asked Li Zi, who was sitting next to her, "Where did Fourth Aunt go?"
