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

Chapter 87 You’ve gone bad
The two walked into the house. Tao Qiuyi put down the backpack, closed half of the door, and left the other half open.

Wei Jingyuan walked to the stone with his crutch, picked up the thermos, poured half a cup of hot water into the bamboo tube cup made by Xiao Huai, and handed it to Tao Qiuyi who was walking over.

"Thank you." Tao Qiuyi took the bamboo cup and drank the water inside. Suddenly, he thought of something and looked up at Wei Jingyuan. "How did you know I was thirsty?"

Wei Jingyuan said calmly: "You said a lot today."

Tao Qiuyi decisively stopped talking and handed the bamboo cup to Wei Jingyuan. "Another half cup of water."

Wei Jingyuan poured her another half cup.

After drinking the water, Tao Qiuyi threw the bamboo tube cup in his hand, and the bamboo tube cup fell steadily on the stone.

Sometimes, this woman was really lazy. She was too lazy to walk to the stone to put down the cup, so she just threw it. And she threw it accurately. Wei Jingyuan looked at her speechlessly.

He poured himself a glass of water and drank it slowly while sitting on the edge of the bed.

Xiao Huai stood by the wall and watched his elder brother pour water for his elder sister-in-law. He was extremely surprised. But when he remembered what he had seen before, his elder brother hugged his elder sister-in-law in the yard, he felt happy again.

If the eldest brother and the eldest sister-in-law have a good relationship, they can also... Xiao Huai suddenly stopped thinking and lowered his head guiltily.

Seeing Xiao Huai's expression as if he had done something wrong, Tao Qiuyi asked, "Xiao Huai, what's wrong with you?"

Wei Jingyuan also looked at Xiao Huai. He noticed Xiao Huai's abnormality today as soon as he entered the door, but he didn't ask in a hurry.

Xiao Huai gritted his teeth and replied, "The quilt in your room is missing."

"What?" Tao Qiuyi understood what Xiao Huai said and asked this because he couldn't believe it.

"I'm sorry, sister-in-law." Xiao Huai bowed to Tao Qiuyi, her face flushed with shame. "I'm useless. You and brother are not at home, and I can't even keep an eye on the quilt in your room."

The quilt in her room was missing? Tao Qiuyi looked at Wei Jingyuan, and her eyes met Wei Jingyuan's. She clearly felt her heart skip a beat.

Is this something that has never happened in this life or the past?

Tao Qiuyi's eyes flickered, and he looked away as if nothing had happened, looking at Xiao Huai, "Don't blame yourself so quickly. Tell me what happened at home when your elder brother and I were away."

Only by understanding what happened can we get her quilt back.

She had put so much effort into making the quilt and quilt cover, she had to get it back no matter what.

After Xiao Huai discovered that the quilt was missing, he had thought about what had happened countless times in his mind. Now that Tao Qiuyi asked him, he naturally had to tell everything.

"Not long after my eldest sister-in-law and eldest brother left, my eldest aunt came to tell me that grandma was not feeling well and could not get out of bed. My eldest uncle and my third uncle had gone to help my third grandfather. My eldest aunt asked me to go to the village office and call my fourth uncle."

"I locked the door of this room. The room next door wasn't locked, so I closed the door and went to the village office to call my fourth uncle. My fourth uncle came back with me. After seeing my grandmother's condition, he decided to take her to the village doctor in the next brigade."

"After they left, I noticed the door to the next room wasn't closed the way I had closed it before, so I pushed it open and went in to check. The quilt on the bed was gone."

"I've searched under the bed several times, but there's nothing there. The room is so empty there's no place to hide."

After hearing Xiao Huai's words, Tao Qiuyi raised his hand and stroked his chin, and he had a rough idea in his mind.

"Xiao Huai, who is at home over there now?" Her quilt was missing, and it must have been stolen by someone over there.

As for who stole it, there are only two suspects, the eldest aunt Zhou Mei, or the third aunt Li Yuegui. Why Li Hongying was not suspected? Of course, it was because Comrade Li Hongying was really sick, not pretending to be sick.

Xiao Huai thought for a moment and said with certainty, "Third Aunt is at home. My eldest aunt went to the next brigade with Fourth Uncle and Grandma. Third Aunt never came out from the beginning to the end." Li Yuegui had stolen the quilt, and there was no getting away. Tao Qiuyi said to Xiao Huai, "Okay, I know. Go to Fourth Uncle's house and get Li Zi back."

The topic changed so quickly that Xiao Huai was confused. They were talking about the missing quilt, so why did the eldest sister-in-law suddenly ask him to go to the fourth uncle's house to pick up the pears?

"Any other questions?" Tao Qiuyi asked when he saw Xiao Huai didn't move.

Xiao Huai shook his head, turned and walked towards the door.

After Xiao Huai left, Tao Qiuyi walked up to Wei Jingyuan and asked with a smile, "What do you think about what happened today?"

"You've already identified the suspect in your mind, so why are you asking me?" Wei Jingyuan glared at her unhappily.

"Of course I want to know if you and I are thinking of the same person." Tao Qiuyi curled his lips and smiled with some ill intent.

"Whoever is at home now is it." Wei Jingyuan's words were brief and to the point. He always knew that his third aunt was stingy and loved to take advantage of small things, but he never expected that she would take advantage of Xiao Huai's absence to break into the house and steal things.

People in the countryside are very united. If anyone does something sneaky, he will definitely be criticized if the news gets out.

Good guy, he didn't even bother to mention suspects, and just said whoever was at home at the moment was the one. Tao Qiuyi suddenly lost interest and turned around and left.

"Where are you going?" Wei Jingyuan asked.

"Of course, we should give someone a taste of his own medicine." After saying that, Tao Qiuyi walked out the door.

Wei Jingyuan did not stop him. If he had known that his family had become so miserable two years ago, he would have felt somewhat sad.

After recovering from his injuries, his parents died from eating poisonous mushrooms, and he no longer recognized his family members.

The moment he was kicked out of the house by his younger siblings, the family affection in his heart no longer existed. The reason he came back was to fulfill his parents' last wish and take care of his younger siblings as they grew up.

In less than ten minutes, Tao Qiuyi came back with a quilt.

"You found it so quickly?" Wei Jingyuan asked in surprise.

It should have taken less than ten minutes from the time she left to the time she came back.

Placing the quilt on the bed behind Wei Jingyuan, Tao Qiuyi smiled and said, "People of your generation like to hide things in two places: one is in the closet, and the other is under the bed."

"It's all the same. There's no third place. I don't even need to look for it. I can just go directly to these two places. I'll find the right one."

People of your generation, Wei Jingyuan's expression changed slightly because of her words.

Tao Qiuyi didn't notice, and was still gloating over how she had not only found the quilt, but also some money and banknotes, which she also stole. She even went to ransack Comrade Li Hongying and her aunt's room, taking it all as compensation for the emotional damage caused to her by the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law.

I thought Wei Jingyuan would say that her behavior was wrong, but he just looked at her silently, as if he didn't hear what she said at all.

"Do you agree with what I do?" Tao Qiuyi asked uncertainly.

He had been a soldier, and the army had strict discipline and would not take a single needle or thread from the people.

"I agree." Wei Jingyuan nodded.

"Wei Jingyuan..." Tao Qiuyi looked at him in horror, her delicate fingers trembling as she pointed at him. "You've become evil."
