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

Chapter 9 Everyone thought she was bragging
“Sister…sister…you…you…really, really…” Wei Jingli was so frightened that her face turned pale and she couldn’t speak clearly.

She had seen wild boars before, but she couldn't imagine how her sister killed them.

Wei Jinghuai looked at Tao Qiuyi with his big, clear black eyes, and then snorted.

There was not enough food in the winter. When my eldest brother came back from leave and his leg was not injured, he went up the mountain to hunt wild boars with the strong laborers of the team. He heard from those who went hunting wild boars together that wild boars are huge in size and even stronger in strength, and when they get angry, they can knock down several strong laborers.

She had thin arms and legs, and was so frail that she looked like she could be blown away by the wind. She went up the mountain to kill wild boars late at night and boasted without even thinking.

Wei Jingyuan's idea was similar to his brother's, but since she didn't tell the truth, he really couldn't figure out where she got the food from.

When Tao Qiuyi saw the little girl’s frightened face, he knew something was wrong.

"Oh, look how scared the little girl is." Tao Qiuyi comforted Wei Jingli with a distressed look on her face. "Lizi, don't be afraid. I was just joking. Look, I'm only a head taller than you. I'm as skinny as you, with thin arms and legs. How could I have the strength to kill a wild boar? It would have almost eaten me."

Her words made the little girl laugh. Tao Qiuyi turned to look at Wei Jingyuan and complained to him, "What do you want to ask? Why don't you wait until the two kids are not around? Look how scared you are, Li Zi."

This was his fault, Wei Jingyuan felt completely baffled. Adhering to the principle that a good man shouldn't fight a woman, he didn't refute Tao Qiuyi's words, but instead instructed his sister. "Xiao Li, go get the medicine from the kitchen."

"Okay." Wei Jingli responded and went out.

Tao Qiuyi then instructed Wei Jinghuai to collect the food on the ground and hide it under the bed. He asked Lizi to take the meat to the kitchen to cook it later, and put the fruit candies and peach cakes on the stone beside the bed so that they would be easy to take when eating.

Just as he hid the food under the bed, Wei Jingli came in with a bowl of medicine, walked straight to Tao Qiuyi and handed the bowl to her.

This is... Tao Qiuyi didn't reach out to take it, but looked up at Wei Jingyuan.

"It's fever-reducing medicine." Wei Jingyuan said, "You look better now. Take the medicine and leave with your things."

Leaving was impossible. Tao Qiuyi rolled her eyes at Wei Jingyuan. She had already said that the three of them belonged to her. She wanted to raise them fat and plump, and she must live with the three of them.

He had chased her away once yesterday, but she didn't leave. She thought he understood her determination to stay, but he chased her away again today. He must have ignored her words. But there was no need to worry, time would prove to the three brothers and sisters that she was serious.

Before that, take care of your body first.

Tao Qiuyi looked at the dark medicine juice in the bowl with a frown. She really didn't want to drink it, but her cold wouldn't get better if she didn't take the medicine. The recurring fever would hinder her body from absorbing the medicine.

Suddenly, she smelled that scent again.

Suspecting that there was something wrong with her nose? Tao Qiuyi reached out to take the bowl and lowered her head to smell it. She was not mistaken, and there was nothing wrong with her nose. No wonder she had diarrhea so badly that her legs were weak. It turned out that the problem was this bowl of medicine.

"Are you sure this is a fever-reducing medicine?" Tao Qiuyi raised his head and asked Wei Jingyuan directly.

"Sure." Wei Jingyuan replied.

He personally brought the medicine back and boiled it for Xiaoli, so of course it was certain.

Tao Qiuyi stared at him intently, certain. How could he say so calmly? She'd already had diarrhea after drinking only half a bowl of medicine. If she drank this half bowl, whether it would reduce her fever was another matter, but she would definitely be unable to defecate in the bathroom. The word "quack" rolled in her throat, but she didn't say it out loud.

"Where did you learn your medical skills?" Tao Qiuyi asked casually, gently shaking the medicine bowl in his hand.

"The troops." Wei Jingyuan answered, frowning at her actions, unable to guess what she was doubting.

"The army also teaches people medical skills, which is quite good." Tao Qiuyi was a little surprised, and then asked: "Did you learn medical skills from a master, or did you go to medical school?"

Tao Qiuyi asked as he placed the medicine bowl in his hand on the stone beside the bed.

This meant that she doubted his medical skills and was not going to take the medicine. Wei Jingyuan frowned and asked, "You suspect there is something wrong with my medicine?"

"It's not suspicion, it's certainty." Tao Qiuyi didn't intend to hide it, because taking the wrong medicine could be fatal.

"Most of the herbs in your medicine can reduce fever, but one has multiple effects that conflict with the other fever-reducing herbs. That's why I had to go to the bathroom three times after drinking your medicine yesterday. It wasn't that serious originally, but my body is too weak, and I just took a cold bath, so I couldn't withstand the impact of the medicine."

"Xiao Li, take the medicine out and throw it away later." Wei Jingyuan didn't doubt Tao Qiuyi's words, and looked at her with a hint of inquiry. "Do you know medical skills?"

"No," Tao Qiuyi answered calmly. She reached out and pulled Wei Jingli, who was closest to her, to sit next to her. She then waved to Wei Jingyuan. "That's not important. Wei Jingyuan, come over and sit down. Xiao Huai, come over too. Let's discuss the next arrangements."

Wei Jingyuan felt that her actions were like calling a puppy, so he ignored her.

Besides, her arrangements had nothing to do with him.

Seeing that his elder brother didn't move, Wei Jinghuai didn't move either.

"Come here. Aren't you tired of standing if your legs are inconvenient?" Tao Qiuyi realized that he was standing by the door to avoid suspicion and avoid gossip about her. The anger that had just risen dissipated. "Forget it, stand wherever you want, as long as you don't feel tired."

"Let me make my stance clear first. Yesterday, I said you three belong to me. I'm going to keep you three fat and plump. I wasn't just saying that. The food I brought back can prove it. So, Wei Jingyuan, don't even think about chasing me away. I won't leave. If you chase me away again, I'll beat you up."

The little girl opened her mouth in surprise.

Wei Jinghuai burst out laughing.

Only Wei Jingyuan's handsome face darkened. This girl was really brave. It was the first time a girl dared to say that she would beat him up.

"Be good, keep your mouth shut. Be careful of mosquitoes flying into your mouth. It's disgusting if you can't spit it out, and even more disgusting if you swallow it." Tao Qiuyi pinched the little girl's face and looked up at Wei Jinghuai. She had already seen that this boy was not as easy to bully as he looked. "Xiao Huai, do you have anything to say?"

"No." Wei Jinghuai, who was called out, shook his head and glanced at his eldest brother. "But sister, we are not related at all. It's not good for your reputation if you live with us like this."

Hearing him call her sister like Li Zi did, Tao Qiuyi was very happy. She wanted to say that she didn't care about reputation, but then she thought Xiao Huai might have something else to say, so she asked, "Do you have any good ideas?"

Seeing her being so understanding, Wei Jinghuai walked up to her and said seriously, "A great man once said that any relationship that is not based on marriage is just hooliganism."
