Chapter 69: Using a Kitchen Knife
Wei Jingyuan, who was sitting on the edge of the bed, was reading a book in his hand. When he heard Tao Qiuyi's words, he looked up at her.

Tao Qiuyi walked a few steps to Wei Jingyuan, and casually glanced at the book in his hand. Suddenly, she stopped and took the book from his hand without hesitation and started to read it.

Where did she develop this habit of taking things without asking? Wei Jingyuan frowned, but did not reach out to take the book back.

"Where did you get this book?" After flipping through a few pages, Tao Qiuyi had a general understanding that this was an entry-level book on traditional Chinese medicine.

"Someone gave it to me." Wei Jingyuan replied.

Tao Qiuyi didn't ask who gave it to him. He shook the book in his hand and said, "You treat the villagers based on this medical book, don't you?"

"Half of it." Wei Jingyuan did not hide it, "The other half I learned in the military hospital."

A bowl of Chinese medicine he gave her caused her diarrhea until her legs became weak. At that time, Tao Qiuyi asked him where he studied medicine, and he replied that he was in the army.

Tao Qiuyi asked curiously, "Don't soldiers in your army train and go on missions at the same time? How do you have free time to study medicine in the hospital?"

Tao Qiuyi asked out of pure curiosity, but it made Wei Jingyuan more wary of her.

"How do you know that soldiers in the army are training and carrying out missions at the same time?" Wei Jingyuan stared at her with his deep eyes.

Because she had been in the army in her previous life, in her previous life, could she tell me that? Of course not. Tao Qiuyi smiled and said, "Of course I heard about it. How can you beat others without training? Your leg was injured during a mission."

There was nothing wrong with what she said, and Wei Jingyuan could only accept it reluctantly, but he was still wary of her in his heart.

"You just said that you wanted me to go to town with you tomorrow. What are we going to do?" Wei Jingyuan did not forget what she said when she entered the door.

"Go to the town hospital and get your leg checked out," Tao Qiuyi replied, handing him back the Chinese medicine book. "I took it for granted before, thinking that with me protecting you, you wouldn't be bullied."

"The truth is, Lizi and Xiaohuai were slapped in the face by your third uncle, and Wang Chunjuan and Huang Lingyu came to our house to cause trouble. Lizi was so scared that she was shaking all over and hugged me and cried."

Having said that, Tao Qiuyi sighed in frustration.

It was the first time that Wei Jingyuan saw a look of frustration on her little face. He was a little surprised, but he still said something.

"You don't have to protect us. The three of us siblings are not your responsibility."

What's more, Li Zi was trembling with fear today. She was not afraid of Wang Chunjuan and Huang Lingyu, but she was afraid that she would leave the Wei family and go back to the Huang family with Wang Chunjuan and Huang Lingyu to marry someone else.

"I said you three are under my charge. It's my responsibility. I have an obligation to protect you three." Tao Qiuyi snorted, "Those who hit you are not only hitting you, but also hitting me in the face."

"I've thought it through. I can't protect you all the time. Only when you have the ability to protect yourself can you protect yourself."

Can you just say you have the ability to protect yourself? She said it so easily. Wei Jingyuan didn't want to discuss such a fantastic question with her, so he stopped talking and lowered his head to continue reading.

Tao Qiu suggested that he read and not disturb him, since she had already informed him of tomorrow's arrangements.

in the kitchen.

Xiao Huai and Li Zi have already put everything in order and started cooking.

Xiao Huai was boiling water in a large pot, while Li Zi was cutting fat to prepare for refining oil.

"Xiao Huai, what Aunt Wang said about my sister-in-law having a fiancé? Is that true?" Li Zi asked Xiao Huai while cutting the fat, her brows furrowed tightly, her face full of worry. Putting a few branches on the stove, Xiao Huai looked up at her and said, "Don't listen to their nonsense. I saw my sister-in-law's fiancé yesterday. He..."

"You saw him yesterday." Li Zi interrupted Xiao Huai sharply and rushed to him with a kitchen knife in hand. "Sister-in-law really does have a fiancé. You saw him yesterday, and so did my brother, right? What about sister-in-law? Did she see him too?"

"Li Zi, why don't you put down the kitchen knife first." Xiao Huai's face changed and he stood up. He looked at the kitchen knife in Li Zi's hand and took a step back.

"Why are you still concerned about a kitchen knife at this hour?" Li Zi didn't even notice she was holding a kitchen knife. She anxiously asked Xiao Huai, "I'm asking you, has your sister-in-law seen him? Has your sister-in-law seen that fiancé?"

Xiao Huai nodded helplessly, "I have seen you..."

"My sister-in-law has seen her too." Before Xiao Huai could finish her sentence, Li Zi exclaimed, "It's over, it's over, my sister-in-law has also seen her fiancé. She's leaving us. We're going to lose my sister-in-law."

Li Zi was so anxious that she paced back and forth.

When Xiao Huai heard this, he knew she had misunderstood, and comforted Li Zi, saying, "Don't worry, things are not what you think. Sister-in-law..."

"How can I not be worried? We're going to be without a sister-in-law." Li Zi's voice was clearly filled with tears, and she added, "My eldest brother will also be without a wife."

"You think too much. Sister-in-law will not leave us, and we will not be without her." This time, Xiao Huai finally finished his sentence.

Unfortunately, Li Zi didn't pay attention to what he said.

The little head was thinking quickly, the sister-in-law is so nice, so capable, and so good to them, they must keep the sister-in-law.

I must never let my sister-in-law be taken away by her fiancé.

absolute.

"I must keep my sister-in-law here, I must keep my sister-in-law here..." Li Zi muttered to herself as if she was possessed, pacing back and forth.

But how can I keep my sister-in-law here?
A light bulb went off in her head, and Li Zi walked up to Xiao Huai and grabbed Xiao Huai's clothes with the hand that wasn't holding the kitchen knife.

"Xiao Huai, let's go beat up my sister-in-law's fiancé and warn him not to snatch my sister-in-law from us, okay?" Li Zi looked at Xiao Huai with expectation.

He didn't dare to hit his sister-in-law's fiancé. Xiao Huai looked at Li Zi, frowned, and asked, "Why do you have such an idea?"

Not to mention that Zhang Guang and the others couldn't afford to offend him, it was unbelievable that his sister would actually invite him to join her in beating someone up.

Li Zi said, "You forgot, when I was in school, there was a guy named Zhang from Zhangjia Town next door... Oh! I forgot his name. Anyway, he would steal someone's toy gun made of reeds. If they refused to give it to him, he would beat them up, and they would give him the toy gun."

After listening to Li Zi's explanation, Xiao Huai didn't know what to say.

"Li Zi, Xiao Huai, are you done cleaning up?" Tao Qiuyi walked into the kitchen and saw Li Zi holding a kitchen knife in one hand and Xiao Huai's clothes in the other.

"Lizi, how did Xiao Huai offend you? Put the kitchen knife down quickly, be careful not to hurt Xiao Huai."

Hearing the voice, Li Zi and Xiao Huai looked at Tao Qiuyi at the same time, stunned and no one moved.

Thinking that the two kids suddenly had a conflict and even used a kitchen knife, Tao Qiuyi just wanted to quickly take the kitchen knife away from Li Zi's hand. He flashed to the two siblings and reached out to take the kitchen knife from Li Zi's hand.
