In the courtyard, Shen Qiqi had just sent Lei Zhen away and hadn't even sat down when she heard the village loudspeaker shouting at the top of its lungs, "Attention, fellow villagers! Attention! Leaders from above are coming to inspect our work! Everyone, pack up and don't bring shame to our village!"

Shen Qiqi's heart skipped a beat. Why did this leader's inspection sound like he was going to cause trouble?

Her eyes froze slightly, and she glanced around nervously.

These days, the thing we fear most is someone coming from above, as we can easily be caught as an example if we are not careful.

When Mrs. Lu heard this, her face turned green, as if her soul had been sucked away.

Her old hands were shaking like sieves, and she kept muttering, "What should we do? What should we do? If anything is found out, our Lu family will be finished!"

Shen Qiqi's heart skipped a beat. As expected, trouble was coming.

The old lady's behavior clearly shows that she has something to hide.

She observed Old Lady Lu calmly, her mind racing.

Not long after, village cadres led a few simply dressed cadres into the Lu family yard.

The leading cadre looked around the courtyard with a stern face, then said straight to the point, "Comrades, today we're here mainly to check on everyone's living conditions and the state of their food reserves."

When Mrs. Lu heard that she had to check the food, her legs went weak and she almost fell to the ground.

She glanced at Shen Qiqi guiltily, her eyes seemed to say, "Think of a way quickly and save me."

Shen Qiqi sneered in her heart, Old lady, you have come to this day?

Where did the ruthlessness that you used to plot against her go?

Are you scared now?

“Comrade, there’s no problem with our food, it’s just…” Before Mrs. Lu could finish her words, she was interrupted by Shen Qiqi.

"Leader, my family's situation is special. A few days ago, Master Lei sent a batch of food, and our family has a little more food in stock." Shen Qiqi said with a smile, and brought up Lei Zhen, directly blocking the topic.

When the leading cadre heard the name "Master Lei", his face changed slightly, but he still insisted: "We have to check it too, this is the rule."

"Since the leader wants to investigate, please come in." Shen Qiqi smiled slightly and made a gesture of invitation.

She had guessed this would happen and had already prepared a response plan.

However, looking at the guilty look on the old lady's face, she knew that this matter was definitely not that simple.

She bit her lip and thought silently: This time, I must find out who is behind this.

Shen Qiqi looked at the stern face of the leading cadre and exclaimed in her heart, "Good boy, are they really going to play it!" She felt like a duck being roasted on a fire, and her whole body was uncomfortable.

This old lady is really a time bomb; you never know when it might explode.

She bit her lips so hard that her teeth almost left bleeding marks on them. This was no joke. If she wasn't careful, her whole family would suffer!

"Don't be afraid, I'm here." Lu Qing's big hand suddenly held Shen Qiqi's hand, his eyes like a ball of flame, firm and hot.

Shen Qiqi raised her eyes and looked into his. At that moment, all her anxiety and uneasiness seemed to be dispelled by a warm current.

Yes, she is not fighting alone, she has Lu Qing, a great teammate!

The warmth in her heart blew through her like a spring breeze. She felt full of strength again. She even wanted to laugh out loud three times and say, "I'm back to full health!"

"Comrade, you want to check the food, right? No problem!" Shen Qiqi said with a smile, a hint of cunning in her smile.

"However, we have too much grain at home. The warehouse can't hold it all, so we've piled it in the yard. Don't be scared!" She deliberately raised her voice so that everyone could hear clearly.

The leading cadre raised his eyebrows, obviously disagreeing with her words.

He thought to himself, in this day and age, who can have a yard full of food?

He doesn't even think twice before bragging!

But out of courtesy, he still followed Shen Qiqi out.

Seeing this, Mrs. Lu's face turned even paler. She followed behind tremblingly, praying in her heart that God would open his eyes and not let the family's ugly things be exposed.

When everyone arrived at the yard, they were all stunned by the scene before them.

I saw the yard filled with sacks of all sizes, neatly stacked into a small hill.

The words "Lei Zhen" were printed on the sack, which was particularly eye-catching.

"This... this is..." The leading cadre widened his eyes and could not speak clearly.

He looked at the mountain of grain in front of him in disbelief, and his heart was filled with turmoil.

The corners of Shen Qiqi's mouth rose slightly. She looked at the shocked expressions of the cadres and felt secretly happy.

Humph, if you want to check her house, you have to see if you have the ability to do it!

She glanced triumphantly at Old Lady Lu, whose face was ashen, and thought to herself, "Old Lady, you were hiding it, but I finally dug it out."

"Ahem, leader, how about we open it and take a look?" Shen Qiqi smiled like a fox that had stolen a chicken. She paused deliberately, then said slowly: "But, this is not ordinary food, it is specially provided by Master Lei!"

Lu Qing raised his eyebrows in cooperation, with a meaningful smile on his face.

He patted Shen Qiqi's shoulder gently and said in a low voice: "Don't worry, I'll take care of everything."

Shen Qiqi turned to look at Lu Qing. She always felt that Lu Qing seemed to be hiding some secret from her.

She subconsciously held Lu Qing's hand and said in a light but slightly tentative tone: "You...is there something you haven't told me?"
