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

Chapter 79 Listen to her

The fog is getting thicker and thicker.

The ox cart moved slowly on the road, and the sound of the wheels turning was very loud.

Uncle Li, who was in charge of driving the ox cart in the brigade, watched the fog getting closer and closer. He could not see far around or in front of him. He felt more and more uneasy and unconsciously tightened the reins in his hands.

In the back of the truck, Wei Jingyuan and Tao Qiuyi sat on the long benches on both sides.

Wei Jingyuan didn't want to talk. With deep eyes, he looked at the little woman sitting opposite him. She was wearing a patched and worn cotton-padded jacket, and her long hair was braided into a braid and hung at her side.

Snow-white little face... For some reason, he felt that the little spy had gained some flesh on his face these days and looked much better than before.

Tao Qiuyi had no time to talk because she was eating the red wild fruits she had picked on the mountain.

"Do you want to eat it?" Tao Qiuyi stretched out his hand and spread out the small wild fruit in his hand. This was the second time he asked Wei Jingyuan.

There was no expression on Qingjun's face, and Wei Jingyuan shook his head for the second time.

"When you looked at me like that, I thought you changed your mind and suddenly wanted to taste this fruit." Tao Qiuyi withdrew his hand indifferently.

Pick up a small wild fruit and put it in your mouth. After you bite it, the sweet taste will fill your entire mouth.

"Delicious." Tao Qiuyi sighed. Seeing Wei Jingyuan still looking at her, she asked for the third time, "You really don't want to eat? Riding in a car is boring, and riding in an oxcart is even more boring. It's so shaky, and it's easy to fall asleep if you don't find something to do."

So, she ate the small fruit just to find something to do so as not to fall asleep. Wei Jingyuan's mouth twitched.

I didn't want to talk to her, so I just looked at her. She ate the small fruits in her hand one by one, then reached into the cloth bag and grabbed another handful of small fruits to eat.

Uncle Li endured it again and again, struggling in his heart, but finally he made up his mind to stop the ox cart, looked back at Wei Jingyuan and Tao Qiuyi, and seemed to be hesitant to speak.

Tao Qiuyi swallowed the fruit in his mouth and wanted to ask him what was wrong, but after thinking for a while, he looked at Wei Jingyuan and signaled him with his eyes.

You come and ask.

Understanding her meaning, Wei Jingyuan gritted his teeth and said calmly, "Uncle Li, if you have anything to say, just say it."

"Jingyuan!" Uncle Li hesitated, glanced at Tao Qiuyi, and then continued, "Uncle, I've been driving ox carts for our brigade for several years. Based on my experience, accidents are most likely to happen on foggy days like this."

It's easy to get into trouble. Wei Jingyuan understood what Uncle Li meant.

"What could easily happen?" Tao Qiuyi asked, not understanding what Uncle Li meant.

"This..." Uncle Li did not answer immediately, but looked at Wei Jingyuan. He was afraid that saying it would scare Tao Qiuyi.

Seeing that Uncle Li was seeking Wei Jingyuan's opinion, Tao Qiuyi smiled and said, "Uncle Li, just tell me what's likely to happen. I'm the one who makes the decisions in our family, and he has no say."

Uncle Li looked at Tao Qiuyi in horror, his eyes full of disbelief.

There are so many young wives in the team, but I have never seen anyone who dares to speak like her.

Wei Jingyuan remained expressionless and said calmly, "It's okay, Uncle Li, just tell me what you want."

Everyone said so, and Uncle Li no longer hesitated. "After the autumn harvest, every household will be allocated food. In winter, everyone will have free time. Many families will take advantage of the free time to visit relatives and friends."

"The fog is thick and it's hard to see. Some lazy and dishonest people will take this opportunity to rob passersby and steal some money to survive the winter."

Tao Qiuyi understood that the accident Uncle Li was talking about was robbery.

Without waiting for Tao Qiuyi and Wei Jingyuan to speak, Uncle Li expressed his thoughts again, "My idea is that the fog is getting thicker and thicker, and it's not urgent for you to go to town. Why don't we go back first and go to town when the sun comes out and the fog clears in the afternoon." The team leader told him clearly when he came to find him that Jingyuan's family rented a ox cart to go to the town hospital to check the injured leg.

They must have a lot of money on them, and it would be a shame to have it robbed.

Besides, Jing Yuan's leg has been lame for two years, so there is no rush to get him checked.

"Do you think we should go back? Or continue on our way?" Tao Qiuyi asked Wei Jingyuan with a smile, her eyes half-smiled, the meaning was self-evident.

If she goes back, this guy will definitely go back on his word, and she will have to use some tricks to force him onto the ox cart in the afternoon.

She didn't mind fighting with him, and she had ways to force him to obey, but it was troublesome.

He had no say at home, let alone on the road. Wei Jingyuan felt that she was teasing him by asking this question, so he said calmly, "It's up to you to decide."

Tao Qiuyi was very satisfied with this answer, and his smile deepened. "Thank you, Uncle Li, for your kind reminder. We understand. Let's keep going."

If you really get robbed, it's hard to say who will rob whom.

He kept going even after knowing it. Moreover, Jing Yuan actually let his wife, a little girl, decide on such an important matter. Uncle Li really felt that the two of them were being too frivolous.

Uncle Li explained anxiously, "Jingyuan's wife, please don't disbelieve me, I said it's all..."

"Uncle Li, don't worry. I don't disbelieve you." Tao Qiuyi interrupted Uncle Li and assured him gently, "Don't worry. I promise we can get to the town safely. As long as I'm on the ox cart on the way back, I will be safe too."

Tao Qiuyi's voice is of the soft and gentle type, and she is still very approachable as long as she is willing to speak softly.

Wei Jingyuan had no doubt about Tao Qiuyi's words to ensure their safety.

With her ability, she can definitely do it as long as she wants.

Uncle Li’s idea is exactly the opposite of Wei Jingyuan’s. She said she would guarantee that they would be safe and sound. How could she guarantee that they would be safe and sound?

Uncle Li didn't believe anything Tao Qiuyi said.

Some even felt that she was a teenage girl, but she boasted more than the men in the village.

There were only three of them, an old man, a lame man, and a little girl. If they were really robbed, they would be completely helpless.

"Jingyuan's wife, you haven't met those people, so it's normal that you don't know about them. They...sometimes they don't just rob money." Uncle Li couldn't bring himself to say that when he saw a pretty young wife, they would also rape her.

"They are not just robbing money, are they going to kill people?" Tao Qiuyi was just joking, but he didn't expect Uncle Li's face to be even uglier than before.

"Do they really dare to kill people for money?" Tao Qiuyi asked with a frown.

Robbery is not a capital crime, so she will just give them a proper lesson. But if it is a murder, she will not show mercy and will beat them to death or maim them, it depends on their luck.

Uncle Li shook his head. "I've never seen or heard of anyone being killed, but I have heard of girls and wives being bullied."

Tao Qiuyi suddenly understood that what made Uncle Li difficult to talk about was the word "rape".

"Uncle Li, just drive safely. No matter what those people want to steal, I won't let them get what they want." Tao Qiuyi assured again and looked at Wei Jingyuan.

"Just listen to her." Wei Jingyuan agreed calmly.
