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

Chapter 7 Driving people away
"It's cold outside, you go inside first." Wei Jingyuan lowered his head and said to Tao Qiuyi.

Tao Qiuyi was just about to say no, because with her around, the Wei family wouldn't dare to hit him again, but when she noticed his eyes on her bare feet, she shrank her feet uncomfortably. She hadn't felt cold before, but now she did.

"Okay." Tao Qiuyi responded readily and threw down the bamboo broom. The bamboo broom fell right in front of Li Hongying, scaring Li Hongying so much that she turned over and got up from the ground.

With a cold snort, Tao Qiuyi walked into the house and ordered the twins standing at the door. "You two, follow your eldest brother. If anyone dares to hit anyone, call me."

The twins, boy and girl, looked at her together.

"What's wrong?" Tao Qiuyi asked with raised eyebrows.

The brother and sister shook their heads at the same time and walked quickly towards Wei Jingyuan in the yard.

Tao Qiuyi smiled faintly, closed the door, walked to the edge of the bed and sat down, wiped her feet casually on her trouser legs, lifted the quilt to cover her feet. She didn't want to be so sloppy, and wanted to wash her feet before covering the quilt, but unfortunately the conditions did not allow it.

The roof is thatched, the beams are made of bamboo, and the walls are made of mud. There is a small window on the wall for ventilation, and a small wardrobe made of bamboo next to it. The wardrobe door is closed and you can't see inside.

The bed was made of stone, wood and straw. The worn-out sheets were patched up with patches, and no one knew what was stuffed in the quilt. It didn't feel very warm when I covered myself with it. This home was really... Tao Qiuyi curled her lips in an indescribable manner.

Poor, really poor!
Penniless is not enough to describe it.

I don’t know how Wei Jingyuan and his two siblings managed to sleep in this room.

I slept here last night. Where did Wei Jingyuan and his two siblings sleep?

Not wanting to dwell on this issue any longer, Tao Qiuyi entered the space, picked up the tissue paper she had thrown in on the ground before, walked towards the machine in the corner, put the tissue paper back on the machine, looked around, and confirmed that this was just a storage space.

Tao Qiuyi wanted to curse.

In this era when people are not well fed, not well clothed, are generally malnourished, and supplies are severely scarce, give her a storage space.

Playing.

Sighing, Tao Qiuyi lay on the ground, reached out and took out a box from the machine. Feeling somewhat comforted, she sat on the ground, opened the box, checked the items inside, and breathed a sigh of relief. Thank God, her eating utensils were still there.

After closing the box and putting it back in its original place, Tao Qiuyi left the space and began to think about how to survive next. The first thing he had to do was to get himself a pair of shoes and a set of clothes, but how to do it was a problem.

While Tao Qiuyi was thinking, Wei Jingyuan and his two siblings pushed open the door and walked in.

Hearing the voice, Tao Qiuyi looked towards them and saw that the three siblings had different expressions. The twins had relief on their faces, but Wei Jingyuan... there was still no expression on his face.

They felt relieved and relaxed that the Wei family was so kind as to let the three brothers and sisters go.

"Is it solved?" Tao Qiuyi asked.

"Yeah." Wei Jingyuan responded, walked to the bedside with his crutches, and met her pair of cunning and smart eyes, as if all the darkness in the world could not escape her eyes. Her little face was fair, and although thin, her features were delicate. If she could gain some weight, she would definitely be a rare beauty.

As Wei Jingyuan looked at Tao Qiuyi, Tao Qiuyi looked back at him. Wei Jingyuan's features were unrefined, with thick black eyebrows and sharp features, but he possessed an impeccably handsome and broad demeanor. His skin, not the dark tan of ordinary rural men, was a tan, perhaps because as a village doctor he didn't have to work in the fields, exposed to the elements. He was tall, perhaps around 180cm tall, and his limp didn't affect his straight back, carrying the fortitude and integrity of a soldier.

It is easy to imagine what his future and achievements would be like if his leg had not been lame.

The saying "God is jealous of talented people" is exactly about him at this moment.

The room was very quiet, so quiet that the only sound was the wind outside.

"Leave when you recover." Wei Jingyuan spoke to break the silence.

Are you so direct in sending her away? Can't you be more subtle? Aren't people of this era said to be simple and honest? Tao Qiuyi snorted and pulled up the quilt to cover her from head to toe.

"I'm not well yet and can't leave." A muffled voice came from under the quilt.

Just kidding, Tao Qiuyi is such an easy-going person. As the saying goes, it is easy to invite a god but difficult to send him away. There is no way to drive her away.

Seeing her acting like a rogue, Wei Jingyuan frowned and didn't know what to say for a moment.
The twins looked at each other. Wei Jingli was beaming with joy as she could sleep with this pretty sister again at night. However, Wei Jinghuai shook his head speechlessly. It seemed that he would have to sleep in the woodshed with his brother again tonight.

Tao Qiuyi didn't expect that she fell asleep in anger. When she woke up, it was already night. It was late at night and there was no one around. She didn't know what time it was. It was pitch black all around, but she could see everything clearly. It must be because her body had absorbed some of the medicine.

She lifted the quilt and got down lightly without making any sound. Tao Qiuyi saw Wei Jingli's shoes beside the bed, so she walked over and put them on. Since the shoes were too small, she could only wear them as slippers. It was always better to have shoes than not to have any.

Turning around, I saw a little girl curled up sleeping at the end of the bed. She was covered with a quilt, but only one corner of the quilt was covering her. Most of her body was not covered by the quilt. She was shivering from the cold. What a pitiful little girl.

Pulling the quilt over her, Tao Qiuyi opened the bamboo cabinet door, took out a men's shirt from inside and put it on, then quietly left the room, closed the door, crossed the wall that was more than one person high, and quickly rushed towards the distant mountains.

In the woodshed next door, Wei Jingyuan suddenly opened his eyes and listened attentively for a while. When he didn't hear any sound, he frowned, closed his eyes and continued to sleep.

The mountains were very quiet at night, and this quietness was eerie, as if danger could happen at any time. Tao Qiuyi moved briskly through the woods, holding a sickle he had picked up on the road in one hand and two rabbits in the other.

Suddenly, she stopped and looked sharply at the slightly shaking trees on the left. Something big was coming. Tao Qiuyi quickly climbed up the big tree next to her.

She hung the two rabbits on a branch, broke off a branch thicker than her arm, sharpened one end with a sickle, threw the sickle under the tree, leaned her back against the trunk, grabbed the sharpened branch with both hands, and waited quietly for the big thing to approach.

Soon, a big black thing rushed out of the grass and revealed its true appearance. It was actually a fat wild boar. Tao Qiuyi whistled happily.

When the wild boar heard the sound, it rushed towards the tree fiercely, each time heavier than the last. Its huge body seemed to contain endless power, and it rammed the tree trunk desperately.

The big tree was shaken violently by the collision. Tao Qiuyi, who was on the tree, was very depressed. He held the branch tightly with one hand and held the trunk firmly with the other hand. Although he was not in a mess, he was in a very bad mood.

It’s all because her body is too weak and she absorbs the medicine too slowly. Her current strength is not enough to compete with the wild boar, otherwise she would not be able to let a wild boar run rampant in front of her.
