Shen Qiqi rushed into the Lu family compound in a hurry, heading straight for her uncle's wife, Li.

Li was sitting in the yard eating melon seeds and enjoying the afternoon sunshine, completely unaware of the danger approaching.

"Li, tell me the truth, who is that man?!" Shen Qiqi grabbed Li's arm, her eyes fierce as if she wanted to kill someone, and her tone was unquestionable and strong.

The sudden change scared Li so much that she dropped her melon seeds. She looked up at Shen Qiqi in horror, her eyes flickering, and she stammered, "What...what man? What are you talking about? Why don't I understand?"

"Stop pretending!" Shen Qiqi didn't buy her tricks and increased the strength in her hands. "The man who was secretly trading with you at the entrance of the grain station! Don't tell me you forgot!"

Li's eyes flickered even more, and she crossed her arms over her chest, looking defensive: "I don't know what you're talking about. I've never been to a grain station, let alone seen any man!"

"You won't cry until you see the coffin, right?" Shen Qiqi sneered, "Okay, then let's go ask the people at the grain station to see if they've seen you!"

Upon hearing this, Li was obviously panicked, her face turned pale: "Don't... don't go to the grain station, I'll tell you, isn't it okay..."

"Why didn't you cooperate earlier? You just wasted my time." Shen Qiqi let go of her hand, crossed her arms and looked at her with an expression that said, "I wonder what other tricks you can come up with."

Li stammered, "I... I did meet a man, he... he gave me some food coupons..."

"How much is some?" Shen Qiqi pressed on.

"Just... just a few pounds..." Li's voice became smaller and smaller, almost inaudible.

"A few pounds?! Do you think I'm a fool?!" Shen Qiqi was furious. "The food coupon shortage in your family can't be filled with just a few pounds!"

Li was so frightened that she trembled all over and dared not hide it anymore: "Yes...it's ten kilograms..."

"Ten pounds?! I think it's more than that!" Shen Qiqi's eyes were like torches, as if she could see through everything she said, "Tell me the truth, how much is it?!"

Li had a mournful look on her face and tremblingly held up five fingers: "Fifty...fifty kilograms..."

Shen Qiqi took a breath of cold air, fifty kilograms!

This is not a small amount!

She looked at Li with a firm gaze and said word by word, "Now, tell me, who is that man, and why did he give you food coupons?"

Li's face was pale and her lips were trembling, but she didn't speak for a long time.

Shen Qiqi was a little anxious. She was worried that the clue would be lost. Her brows were furrowed, and she looked more and more anxious.

She took a deep breath and said in a more serious tone: "Li, if you don't tell the truth, don't blame me for being ruthless!"

Lu Qing on the side patted Shen Qiqi's shoulder gently and said softly: "Don't worry, she can't run away here. Take your time, we will definitely be able to get the truth from her mouth." Shen Qiqi felt his support and felt warm in her heart. She nodded to him gratefully and continued to question Li.

"Do you know that if you don't tell the truth this time, I have evidence!" Shen Qiqi's tone was threatening, and her eyes flashed with determination.

When Li heard this, her face turned even paler, and she was obviously frightened.

"That man... he... he's a cadre in the county, his name is... his name is Wang Wenshan." Li finally spoke, her voice trembling so much that it was almost inaudible. "He... he gave me food coupons, saying... he asked me to help him with something..."

"Help him do something?" Shen Qiqi's eyes were stern. "What did he ask you to do for him?"

Li's eyes flickered, as if hesitating whether to tell the truth.

Seeing this, Shen Qiqi put her hands on her knees, approached her, and said in a harsher tone: "If you don't tell me, I will really go to the grain station. Don't blame me for not giving up when the time comes!"

Li was forced into a desperate situation and finally said in a trembling voice, "He...he asked me to help him deceive the villagers, saying that the grain station didn't have enough food coupons and they needed to focus on their family first..."

After Shen Qiqi heard this, her heart sank. It turned out that things were more complicated than she had imagined.

She stood up and stared at Li coldly: "How many things have you done to offend the village? How dare you hide them now?"

Li completely collapsed, tears falling like beads from a broken string. "I... I had no choice. Wang Wenshan threatened me, saying that if I didn't do what he said, he would... he would make me lose face in the village..."

Shen Qiqi snorted coldly, turned around and walked into the yard, took out the evidence that Li had framed her before from her arms, and slowly unfolded it.

Seeing this, Li's face suddenly turned ashen. Her body trembled and her lips moved, but she couldn't say anything.

"Li, you really dug your own grave this time..." Shen Qiqi said coldly. Before she finished speaking, she suddenly turned around, staring directly at Li with a dagger-like gaze.

Shen Qiqi sneered and shook the paper in her hand, "Do you still remember this? The evidence you used to frame me has now become a weapon to bring you down!"

Li's face was pale, her lips were trembling, but she couldn't make a sound.

She wanted to rush over to grab it, but was frightened by Shen Qiqi's look and dared not move.

"Want to take it back? It's too late!" Shen Qiqi quickly put the evidence in her arms, "Now, let's go to the grain station and show everyone your 'masterpiece'!"

Li fell to her knees on the ground with a plop, hugged Shen Qiqi's thighs and cried, "Qiqi, I was wrong! I really know I was wrong! Please let me go! I have old people above me and young children below me, you can't live without me!"

Shen Qiqi mercilessly shook her off, her eyes cold: "If I had known this would happen, why did you do it in the first place! When you were plotting against me, why didn't you think about my feelings?"
