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

Chapter 96 Coward

Outside the house, a lot of people gathered in front of the thatched hut. They were all villagers from the second brigade, who came to see the old Chinese doctor.

The first and second brigades are very close to each other, and their land is adjacent to each other. During the busy farming season, everyone works together in the fields to earn work points, and chatting is also common.

The story of Li Hongying's family in the first brigade had already spread among the villagers in the second brigade.

After listening to Tao Qiuyi's crying, everyone suddenly realized that Li Hongying wanted to beat to death her grandson who used to be a soldier and now had a limp.

"Does Li Hongying really want to beat her grandson to death?"

"I don't know, but hearing her granddaughter-in-law crying so sadly, it might be true."

"How could Li Hongying do such a sin? Wei Jingyuan is her own grandson. How could she have the heart to beat him to death?"

"I think it should be true. Li Hongying's second son and daughter-in-law are both dead. If she beats her grandson to death, the Wei family's magnificent courtyard will belong to Li Hongying and her other two sons."

"Didn't you hear her granddaughter-in-law say that the house had been sold to Li Hongying's other two sons?"

"I know about this. My daughter came back and told me about it the day before yesterday. The house was indeed sold. Wei Jingyuan and his wife only kept two rooms and the kitchen, and lived with the twins."

"Did you really sell the house?"

“It’s really sold.”

"Then why does Li Hongying want to beat her grandson to death now?"

The voices of people talking outside reached the house.

Li Hongying came back to her senses and angrily cursed, "Little guy, what nonsense are you talking about?"

"I'm not talking nonsense. You tried to beat Wei Jingyuan to death with a carrying pole, and I didn't stop you. What would I do if you killed him?" Tao Qiuyi retorted in a tearful voice, "We just got married not long ago. If you kill him, I'll become a widow, and I don't want to be a widow."

"You..." Li Hongying was so angry that her chest heaved violently and her whole body trembled.

Fearing that his mother would be pissed to death by Tao Qiuyi, Wei Lao San quickly said, "Jingyuan's wife, you've misunderstood your grandmother. She's Jingyuan's biological grandmother. How could she possibly want to beat him to death?"

Tao Qiuyi turned her head to look at Wei Lao San and asked innocently, "Grandma couldn't possibly beat Wei Jingyuan to death, so why did she hit him with a carrying pole? Could it be that the person Grandma wanted to hit wasn't Wei Jingyuan, but me who was standing with Wei Jingyuan?"

Wei Laosan was speechless.

Suddenly I realized that Tao Qiuyi is not only good at beating people, but also good at talking.

She cried and told everything that happened at home. She was also very good at confusing right and wrong. Her mother didn't hit her or Jing Yuan at all, but she insisted that her mother wanted to beat Jing Yuan to death.

What a vicious heart.

Glaring at Tao Qiuyi angrily, Wei Lao San said softly, "Your grandmother was sick yesterday and didn't come home all night. You only came to see her today, so she's a little angry, so she brought the carrying pole. She didn't really want to hit Jing Yuan, she just wanted to scare him."

Tao Qiuyi looked at Wei Laosan's serious nonsense and laughed in his heart. He didn't expect that Wei Laosan had such ability to confuse right and wrong without blushing or feeling nervous.

Wei Jingyuan didn't say anything, just watched Tao Qiuyi and his third uncle talking nonsense back and forth.

The discussions outside had become much quieter, but Tao Qiuyi could hear them clearly. Most of them were blaming Li Hongying, but some people also said that she was wrong.

"What are you doing here?" a strong voice asked.

"Mr. Jiang, please move aside quickly. Mr. Jiang is back. Let him pass." The people surrounding the house made way for Mr. Jiang.

Tao Qiuyi in the room heard the sound and was too lazy to continue acting with Li Hongying. He grabbed the carrying pole and pushed Li Hongying lightly, causing her to stagger a few steps and fall down on the edge of the bed.

Wei Lao San stretched out his hand to catch his mother, but she fell down on the edge of the bed. Tao Qiuyi quickly pulled Wei Jingyuan out the door, and she casually put the shoulder pole she had snatched behind the door.

I met an old man who was about to enter at the door. The cotton-padded jacket he wore was patched up with patches. Although the clothes were worn out, they were washed very clean. He was a clean-loving old man.

The old man is in his fifties and is full of energy.

Tao Qiuyi glanced at the basket on the old man's back and asked, "Are you Mr. Jiang?"

"I am." Old Jiang nodded, his cloudy eyes fixed on the young couple in front of him. He had seen Wei Jingyuan before, a village doctor from a large group. His medical skills...he had no medical skills at all.

He can bandage wounds, treat minor colds, do some simple first aid, and use some Chinese and Western medicine, but he can't even be called a half-baked doctor.

The woman next to him is very thin, but her facial features are well-proportioned. When she gains some weight, she will definitely be a pretty girl.

Both of them were wearing brand new sets of cotton-padded jackets and trousers, and they looked very well matched.
"Hello, Mr. Jiang." Tao Qiuyi smiled and explained her purpose directly, "My husband and I are here to see you."

"See a doctor?" Elder Jiang was stunned for a moment, looking at Tao Qiuyi with interest, then raised his hand and pointed at Wei Jingyuan. "He is the village doctor of the first brigade. If you want to see a doctor, just go to him."

"It's not me who's doing the diagnosis, it's him." Tao Qiuyi pulled Wei Jingyuan over and pushed him in front of him.

Elder Jiang looked at Wei Jingyuan and, seeing him nod, said, "You two go sit in that room and wait for a while. I'll check on the patient who's staying here first."

"Okay, you go ahead." Tao Qiuyi nodded, and walked towards the room designated by Mr. Jiang with Wei Jingyuan.

Old Jiang walked into the room. Li Hongying was sitting on the edge of the bed, and Wei Laosan was sitting on a chair. Both mother and son had their heads down, not knowing what they were thinking.

In the next room.

Tao Qiuyi and Wei Jingyuan sat side by side on a long bench and looked around the room.

The furnishings are really not simple, there is a medicine cabinet, a long table with a notebook and a bamboo pen holder on it, and several benches.

Other... nothing else.

Poor, people in this era are really poor, Tao Qiuyi sighed again.

Seeing Wei Jingyuan's big hands on his legs clenched tightly, Tao Qiuyi smiled and leaned in to ask, "Are you scared?"

"No." Wei Jingyuan answered so quickly that he didn't even believe it himself. He turned his head to meet her bright eyes so close to him, and his heartbeat began to become disordered again.

He quickly moved away, afraid of being discovered by her, and tried hard to keep an expressionless face.

Watching his actions, Tao Qiuyi snorted in displeasure, ruthlessly exposing his lies. "If you're not afraid, why are you holding your hands so tightly?"

Men who are stubborn are the most annoying.

"It's a habitual action." Wei Jingyuan made up an excuse.

Still talking stubbornly, still talking stubbornly, Tao Qiuyi was so angry that she laughed, her voice leisurely. "Your habitual action is not good. It makes people think you are afraid."

She found out that he was lying, but didn't notice his heartbeat quickened. Fortunately, Wei Jingyuan gave up struggling and stopped talking.

"Coward." After giving him a glare, Tao Qiuyi turned away and stopped looking at him.

Soon, Old Jiang walked in, went straight to the table and sat down, glanced at Tao Qiuyi, and then glanced at Wei Jingyuan.
