Chapter 15: Reunion in the Hall, Battle of Wits Restarts



As soon as these words were spoken, the whole audience was in an uproar.

Even Lu Qing was stunned. He didn't expect Shen Qiqi to do this suddenly.

Mrs. Lu and the other two were stunned as if they had been struck by lightning, and it took them a long time to react.

"This...how can this be possible!" Zhang was the first to react. She didn't want to take on this troublesome matter.

"I... I'm uneducated and don't understand these things..."

"Second sister-in-law, didn't you just say that we should follow the rules? Supervising resource allocation is a rule passed down by our ancestors. How can we just say we don't want to do it?" Shen Qiqi asked innocently.

Zhang was choked to the point of being speechless, her face turning pale and blue, like a chameleon.

Li was not much better. Although she loved to take advantage, she also knew that the job of supervision was not an easy one.

If anything goes wrong, you will be held responsible!

Old Mrs. Lu was also anxious. She wanted to refuse, but she couldn't find a suitable reason.

This girl Shen Qiqi is so devilish!

"Since the eldest sister-in-law and the second sister-in-law have no objection, then it's settled!" Shen Qiqi made the decision without waiting for them to speak.

"But, let me be frank. If anything goes wrong during supervision, you will be punished!"

She deliberately emphasized the word "punished", which made Mrs. Lu and the other two feel uneasy.

This Shen Qiqi clearly dug a hole and waited for them to jump in!

Shen Qiqi smiled harmlessly, but her eyes were as sharp as knives.

"Grandma, eldest sister-in-law, second sister-in-law, you must supervise well!" She paused, her tone meaningful, "I... am looking forward to your performance!" After listening to Shen Qiqi's plan, Village Chief Zhang stroked his beard and nodded with satisfaction: "Qiqi's plan, I think it's okay! It's fair and just, and it also takes care of the elderly, the weak and the disabled. It's much better than the previous muddled account!" He made the final decision and directly announced that it would be implemented according to Shen Qiqi's plan.

Old Lady Lu and the other two looked uglier than if they had eaten a fly, but they did not dare to refute the village chief's decision and could only swallow their anger.

This time, Shen Qiqi has completely established a foothold in the Lu family.

With her wisdom and courage, she not only won Lu Qing's respect and love, but also made other people in the Lu family look at her with admiration.

In the past, everyone only knew that she was a "foreign daughter-in-law", but now, everyone knows that she is the "Zhuge Liang" of the Lu family!

The Lu family's family meeting ended in a bad mood.

Mrs. Lu and the other two returned to their respective rooms dejectedly, feeling extremely aggrieved.

"This Shen Qiqi is such a vixen! How dare she ride on our heads!" Zhang was so angry that she stamped her feet, wishing she could eat Shen Qiqi alive.

Li also had a gloomy face and whispered in agreement: "Mom, we can't just swallow this anger!" Old Mrs. Lu sat on the kang, her face terribly gloomy.

She clutched the cane tightly in her hand, her eyes gleaming with resentment.

Just then, there was a noise outside the door.

A child ran in breathlessly, shouting, "Grandma! People from the village... from the village are coming! They say... they say that the higher-ups have distributed some supplies and they want to... distribute them to everyone!"

When Mrs. Lu and the other two heard this, their eyes suddenly lit up, as if they saw the dawn of hope.

"Supplies? What supplies?" Old Mrs. Lu asked anxiously.

The child scratched his head: "I...I don't know, there are so many things piled up at the village committee!"

The three of them looked at each other, and a glint of greed flashed in their eyes.

Old Mrs. Lu stood up shakily with her cane, her tone grim: "Let's go and take a look!"

Li and Zhang also hurriedly followed, thinking about how they could get more benefits.

They reached the door but suddenly stopped.

They saw Shen Qiqi and Lu Qing standing in the yard, looking at them with a half-smile.

"Grandma, eldest sister-in-law, second sister-in-law, where are you going in such a hurry?" Shen Qiqi asked with a smile, but her tone was filled with a barely perceptible chill.

Mrs. Lu and the other two's faces froze and their eyes flickered.

"Let's...let's go see what's going on..." Zhang stammered, clearly lacking confidence.

Shen Qiqi smiled slightly, her smile full of deep meaning: "Lively? What lively? Why don't we go and see it together?"

As she spoke, she walked out the door, and Lu Qing followed closely behind her. There was a tacit understanding between the two of them that didn't require words, it was like they were sharing Wi-Fi.

Mrs. Lu and the other two looked even uglier, but they could only bite the bullet and follow...
