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

Chapter 83 Help her to lie
"Jingyuan, Jingyuan's wife." Uncle Li, who was guarding the ox cart in the yard, saw Wei Jingyuan and Tao Qiuyi standing at the door and talking, and walked towards them quickly.

Tao Qiuyi quickly stuffed the money and bills in his hand into the cloth bag.

"Jingyuan, Jingyuan's wife." Uncle Li approached the two and asked, "You came out of the doctor's office so quickly. Did the doctor say Jingyuan's leg can be cured?"

Uncle Li really cares about Wei Jingyuan. Two days ago, when he was working in the fields, he suddenly fainted and it was Wei Jingyuan who saved him.

After he woke up, his wife told him that his condition was very scary and many people were frightened. His wife was also scared and cried. It was Wei Jingyuan who came to save him with a crutch.

Seeing Uncle Li, Tao Qiuyi and Wei Jingyuan ended the conversation tacitly.

"Thank you, Uncle Li, for your concern." Tao Qiuyi replied with a faint smile, "The doctor said Jingyuan's leg needs to be taken good care of. There's a good chance it will heal."

Of course, these words were not said by the doctor, but by her. As long as she could confirm what was wrong with Wei Jingyuan's leg, she could prescribe medicine for treatment.

The doctor can't cure it, but she can.

"It can be cured with just nursing?" Uncle Li was surprised. Then he remembered that Wei Jingyuan's leg had been lame for two years. "But Jingyuan has been back in the village for two years, and his leg hasn't been healed yet. Is the doctor you two are seeing reliable?"

Uncle Li was quite skeptical of what the doctor said.

Of course the doctor was reliable, but what he said was exactly the opposite of what she said. Tao Qiuyi was not embarrassed by having her lie exposed, but was very calm instead.

"It should be... reliable." Tao Qiuyi turned his head to look at Wei Jingyuan who was standing beside him, and signaled him with his eyes to say something.

Receiving her gaze, Wei Jingyuan was speechless. The doctor clearly said that his leg could not be cured, but she told Uncle Li that his leg only needed to be healed and there was a great hope of recovery.

That is impossible.

He didn't know why she lied to Uncle Li.

"Yeah, that's reliable." After saying this, Wei Jingyuan looked forward unnaturally.

The first time he lied, he actually helped this little spy to cover up his lie.

Uncle Li was overjoyed and wanted to say something...

"By the way, Uncle Li, why don't you see Uncle Chen?" Tao Qiuyi interrupted Uncle Li and looked around the yard.

Uncle Li swallowed the words that were about to come out of his mouth and explained, "This is what happened. Wang Chunjuan and her daughter were still unconscious. Old Chen is an outsider, and it is not appropriate for him to watch them in the hospital. So he went to Wang Chunjuan's parents' home to ask someone to come to the hospital to take care of them."

"Also, Lao Chen asked me to ask you on his behalf if he can take the ox cart back to the village with us later."

"Sure." Tao Qiuyi agreed without hesitation. She supported Wei Jingyuan and walked towards the cattle cart. "Is Wang Chunjuan's family home far from the hospital?"

"It's not far. It will take about an hour to go back and forth." Uncle Li followed the two of them.

Tao Qiuyi thought about it and suggested, "Then let's go have lunch first and come back to pick up Uncle Chen later."

The main reason was that she had the money and tickets she had collected from the robbers today, and she wanted to spend them at the supply and marketing cooperative.

"Okay, you two go and eat. I'll stay here to watch the ox cart and the things to prevent them from being stolen." Uncle Li took a few quick steps, stopped beside the ox cart and waved to the two of them.

In fact, he was also hungry, but he had no money, so he didn't join in the fun.

Tao Qiuyi and Wei Jingyuan looked at each other. Uncle Li drove a ox cart to bring them to the town early in the morning. They went in to see a doctor, while Uncle Li was guarding the ox cart outside. He must not have eaten anything.

He would rather starve than take advantage of them. Uncle Li embodies the simplicity of rural people of this era. Tao Qiuyi said, "Uncle Li, Jingyuan's legs are not convenient, so he still needs to take the ox cart."

What she meant was that she wanted Uncle Li to have dinner with them. Wei Jingyuan looked at Tao Qiuyi in surprise.

In those days, no family was rich, and many families even couldn't get enough food to eat, and inviting people to dinner was even rarer. Yet, she was so generous as to invite Uncle Li to dinner.

Tao Qiuyi patted the cloth bag with his little hand and winked at him.

Wei Jingyuan understood instantly that she wanted to use the stolen money and tickets to treat Uncle Li to a meal.

"Oh, then I'll take you there." Uncle Li didn't see the interaction between Wei Jingyuan and the other person, and didn't think much about it. He immediately volunteered to take them there, completely unaware that he had fallen into the trap dug by Tao Qiuyi.

"Thank you." Tao Qiuyi thanked happily, and turned around to see Wei Jingyuan had already climbed onto the ox cart and sat down.

Uncle Li drove the ox cart slowly out of the hospital gate.

Tao Qiuyi sat next to Wei Jingyuan and whispered to him where she was going next. She also told him and Uncle Li to have dinner at the state-owned restaurant while waiting for her.

She said that the stolen money and tickets had to be spent immediately, otherwise she would feel unhappy. Wei Jingyuan didn't know what to say to her.

Others would hide their money and tickets and spend them slowly, but she would spend them immediately. I really don’t know what she was thinking.

The ox cart stopped in front of the state-owned hotel.

Tao Qiuyi and Wei Jingyuan each got off the ox cart, but Uncle Li did not. He even told them, "Take your time to eat. Don't worry. I'll be waiting for you at the door."

Neither Tao Qiuyi nor Wei Jingyuan could let Uncle Li wait at the door while they went in to eat with peace of mind.

"Uncle Li, I'll go in and order some food first. Please help me help Wei Jingyuan go in and find a table with a view outside to sit down. Thank you." Tao Qiuyi thanked him very politely and walked quickly into the state-owned restaurant.

Uncle Li looked at Wei Jingyuan in surprise, not knowing what to do.

"Uncle Li, let's go in and have dinner together." Wei Jingyuan invited Uncle Li.

"No, no, no need. How can I go to dinner with you? No, no, no." Uncle Li waved his hands repeatedly and said no.

"Okay, it's hard for you to follow us in the ox cart, so it's only right that I treat you to a meal." Wei Jingyuan said.

"No, Jingyuan, I really can't. I can't take advantage of you. Besides, I'm not hungry now." Uncle Li still refused. After he said that he was not hungry, he smelled the delicious aroma wafting from the state-owned restaurant, and his stomach growled.

Uncle Li's face immediately turned red.

Wei Jingyuan's eyes flickered. "Qiu Yi has already gone in to order food. If you don't come in with us to eat, it will just be a waste."

Seeing that Wei Jingyuan was really inviting him in for dinner and was not just being polite, Uncle Li had no choice but to agree. He tied the cow to the tree in front of the restaurant and walked into the state-owned restaurant with Wei Jingyuan.

He found a table near the door and sat down. Wei Jingyuan sat facing the ox cart at the entrance of the restaurant.

Wei Jingyuan and Uncle Li had just sat down when Tao Qiuyi came back after ordering the dishes.

She first politely said to Uncle Li, "Uncle Li, there are only a few dishes in the state-owned restaurant. I just ordered some at random. Please make do with it."

"No, no." Uncle Li was a little at a loss.
