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

Chapter 88 Dislike Me

"Who's been bad, big brother?" Li Zi ran in from the door, followed by Xiao Huai. She ran directly in front of Tao Qiuyi, looking at her with a blushing face. "Sister-in-law, did big brother do something bad to you?"

Wei Jingyuan was the one who did something bad to her? How could that be possible? Tao Qiuyi reached out and touched Li Zi's rosy little face, only to find it was icy cold.

Tao Qiuyi said unhappily, "Your face is red from the cold. Go sit by the fireplace for a while, but don't get too close to it."

"Oh." Li Zi obediently went to the fireplace.

Xiao Huai didn't know what to say when he saw how obedient she was. Suddenly, he saw two quilts on the bed and thought he was seeing things. He raised his hand to wipe his eyes and looked again.

Yes, the missing quilt was indeed found.

"Sister-in-law..." Xiao Huai was about to ask her how she found it, but when he saw Tao Qiuyi winking at him and looking in Li Zi's direction, he instantly understood that sister-in-law didn't want Li Zi to know about this.

He decisively stopped asking.

At the same time, I also realized that it doesn’t matter how I get the quilt back, as long as I find it.

"Sister-in-law, you took your brother to the town hospital to see his leg today. What did the doctor say? Can your brother's leg be cured?" Li Zi asked two questions in one breath.

Xiao Huai felt guilty again because he didn't ask these questions when his elder brother and sister-in-law came back.

"The doctor said there's hope for your eldest brother's leg to be cured," Tao Qiuyi replied.

"Really?" Li Zi jumped up from the ground in surprise and rushed to Tao Qiuyi. Because she couldn't control herself, she threw Tao Qiuyi directly into the arms of Wei Jingyuan behind her.

Although Wei Jingyuan injured one leg, his arm strength was still the same as before, and he caught Tao Qiuyi and Li Zi steadily.

Xiao Huai hurried over to pull Li Zi up, scolding her in a low voice, "Why are you still so clumsy?"

"I'm just so happy, it wasn't intentional." Li Zi retorted aggrievedly.

Wei Jingyuan's big hand was on Tao Qiuyi's shoulder, and Tao Qiuyi was sitting on his lap. The sudden and unexpected intimacy made both of them feel a little embarrassed.

Somewhat gorgeous.

"you……"

"you……"

The two spoke at the same time and then stopped talking at the same time.

"Sister-in-law, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to knock you down." Li Zi leaned her head against the wall and apologized to Tao Qiuyi in a low voice. She also stretched out her little hand to pull Tao Qiuyi up.

Tao Qiuyi didn't need Li Zi to pull her. She stood up on her own and took a few steps to distance herself from him. She waved her hands and said calmly, "It's okay, it's okay. It's my fault for not standing firmly. Otherwise, with your small body, how could you have knocked me down?"

A gleam flashed in Wei Jingyuan's eyes.

Li Zi thought about it and agreed, so she stopped dwelling on it and continued with the previous topic. "Sister-in-law, did the doctor really say that my brother's leg can be cured? Is that doctor reliable?"

"Reliable, especially reliable." Tao Qiuyi wasn't talking about the doctor, but herself. She would quickly prepare medicine to repair the damaged tendons and veins. "The doctor said that your eldest brother didn't take medicine or apply any ointment before, so his legs have been the same."

"The doctor prescribed some medicine this time. Try applying it first and continue if there is improvement." Wei Jingyuan's eyebrows jumped. She was going to lie.

"Where's the medicine? I'll help you apply it, big brother." Xiao Huai took the initiative to take on this job as he felt he had more experience.

The medicine hadn't been prepared yet, so where could she get it for him? Tao Qiuyi smiled and said, "We have to go find the medicine in the mountains. We didn't buy any ready-made."

Seeing her lying to her younger brother and sister in all seriousness, Wei Jingyuan shook his head helplessly.

"We still have to go up the mountain to look for it." Li Zi frowned, but soon she said excitedly, "Okay, it's still early, I'll go up the mountain with my sister-in-law to look for medicine."

Seeing Li Zi eager to try, Tao Qiuyi laughed and raised his hand to tap her on the head. "There are many unknown dangers in the mountains. I can go alone."

"But..." Li Zi still wanted to fight for herself.

But Tao Qiuyi didn't give her a chance and immediately changed the subject. "Uncle Chen and I agreed to go to his house to look at tables. Lizi, you come with me. If you like the furniture Uncle Chen makes, we can ask Uncle Chen to make more for us."

"Okay, okay." Li Zi agreed happily, her attention instantly diverted.

Tao Qiuyi walked to the backpack, bent down and searched inside, then took out a lock and three matching keys, kept one key for himself, and gave the rest to Xiao Huai.

"Xiao Huai, you also come with me and Li Zi to Uncle Chen's house. Now you two go to the next room and take a look. Lock the door without asking." Tao Qiuyi deliberately emphasized the two words "take a look".

Xiao Huai immediately understood what she meant. She wanted him and Li Zi to check if there were any other items missing from the house.

The brother and sister walked out of the house. Tao Qiuyi turned around and walked to Wei Jingyuan. She bent down slightly and whispered in his ear, "I said your leg can be cured, and you are not allowed to ruin my plan."

The threatening voice rang softly in his ears. Because they were so close, her breath was as fragrant as orchid, and the faint fragrance made Wei Jingyuan's heart beat rapidly. He turned his face slightly away without making a sound.

"What do you mean? Do you dislike me?" His actions made Tao Qiuyi very unhappy. She stared at his neck fiercely, wishing she could bite him.

"No." Wei Jingyuan coughed lightly, and his expression changed slightly, which was difficult to see without careful observation.

He still hasn't figured out what she meant by "People of your generation."
Xiao Huai and Li Zi came back soon, locked the door and gave the key to Tao Qiuyi. Tao Qiuyi took the key, handed it to Wei Jingyuan, and took Li Zi and Xiao Huai out.

The three of them went to Uncle Chen's house and were very satisfied when they saw the new square table and four long benches that Uncle Chen had made. Tao Qiuyi immediately gave them money and asked Xiao Huai and Li Zi to move the table and benches back home.

She also booked two long desks, four stools, a large wooden tub for bathing, and two foot basins from Uncle Chen.

Uncle Chen was so happy that he couldn't stop smiling. He repeatedly promised that he would make those things for her as soon as possible.

Coming out of Uncle Chen's house, Tao Qiuyi happened to run into Aunt Hehua. She glanced at the two large cabbages in the basket Aunt Hehua was carrying and greeted her with a smile, "Auntie, I'm back from picking some vegetables from the fields."

"Yes, pick two cabbages and go home to cook." Aunt Lotus glanced behind Tao Qiuyi, grabbed her arm and pulled her to the base of the wall to talk. "You came out of Carpenter Chen's house, are you here to ask Carpenter Chen to make furniture for you?"

"Yeah." Tao Qiuyi nodded. "After the family split up, we didn't even have a table to eat at. I heard Uncle Chen is a carpenter, so I asked him to help make some furniture."

Thinking of what happened on the day when Tao Qiuyi separated from the family, Aunt Hehua felt uncomfortable. Now when she heard her say that there was not even a table for dining at home, she wanted to rush to the Wei family and scold Li Hongying severely.

"That old hag Li Hongying is such a coward! Her heart is set on the ground." Aunt Hehua couldn't help but curse.
