After Aunt Qian finished her roar, the women from Lijia Village who were following behind her also began to chirp in agreement, like a group of hens whose roost had been blown away, the noise was so loud that it made people's brains hurt.
Shen Qiqi rubbed her ears and thought, this head-on confrontation will definitely not work, we have to outsmart it.
Back at the Lu family, Shen Qiqi locked herself in the room, her brows furrowed, her fingers tapping on the table.
The whole room was filled with a heavy atmosphere, making it hard to breathe.
At this moment, the door creaked open, Lu Qing walked in and hugged her in his arms.
"What's wrong? You look so sad, like an eggplant hit by frost." His gentle voice rang beside Shen Qiqi's ears.
Shen Qiqi told Lu Qing the whole story. After listening, Lu Qing patted her on the back gently: "Don't worry, there will always be a way out."
The next morning, Shen Qiqi set off for Lijia Village and went straight to Aunt Qian's house.
When Aunt Qian saw Shen Qiqi, she looked like she had seen an enemy. Her nose was not a nose, and her face was not a face.
"What are you doing here? We in Lijia Village don't welcome you!" She crossed her arms, looking as if she was keeping people at a distance.
Shen Qiqi was not annoyed. She walked up to Aunt Qian with a smile and took out a stack of documents from her bag. "Aunt Qian, don't rush to send me away. Take a look at this first."
Aunt Qian took the document suspiciously, only to see that it was covered with densely written words and stamped with a bright red official seal.
She squinted her eyes and looked carefully, and her expression gradually changed.
Seeing this, Shen Qiqi continued, "These are all successful cooperation cases in other villages. Their profits have increased several times! If you still don't believe it, I can take you to a field trip for an inspection." Aunt Qian tightly grasped the documents, her eyes flickering, "This..." Shen Qiqi smiled slightly, "Aunt Qian, please think about it carefully. I'll come back tomorrow."
Aunt Qian was holding the stack of cases, her fingernails almost poking holes in the paper.
Her weather-beaten face was full of wrinkles, like a dry field, but at this moment, it was slightly rippled.
Seeing this, Shen Qiqi raised a smug arc at the corner of her mouth, like a cat that caught a mouse.
She crossed her arms and said playfully, "Aunt Qian, this is pure silver. Are you sure you want to go against it? Who would complain about having too much money these days?"
Aunt Qian's eyes flickered, and she was obviously a little shaken, but she still insisted: "Who, who knows if you are lying to me! I have seen a lot of things like this!" Although she was not forgiving in her words, her tone was obviously softened. She no longer had the arrogance at the beginning. Like a tiger with its teeth pulled out, she looked less intimidating.
Shen Qiqi knew that this old lady was a typical "sharp tongue but soft heart". She struck while the iron was hot and continued to speak: "Hey, you are really observant, but this is a case of real money. How about we go to the next village to take a look? Seeing is believing! Anyway, you have nothing to lose, just take a stroll?" She blinked her innocent big eyes as she spoke, like a bewitching goblin.
Aunt Qian was completely disarmed and surrendered by her soft and hard persuasion, muttering: "Go if you want, why should I be afraid of you?" She turned and went into the house, changed into a decent dress, and when she came out, although she still had a stern face, there was a hint of expectation in her eyes.
In the afternoon, the sun shone warmly on the country road. Shen Qiqi and Lu Qing walked side by side, followed by the shy Aunt Qian.
A gentle breeze blew by, lifting the strands of hair on Shen Qiqi's forehead. Her fair face shone in the sunlight, like the finest mutton-fat jade.
Lu Qing turned his head to look at her, his eyes full of tenderness and love.
Suddenly, Lu Qing pulled Shen Qiqi to the corner of the road, and his hot breath sprayed on her ears.
"Qiqi, you are so beautiful today." There was a hint of hoarseness in his low voice, like a beast that had been dormant for a long time and finally showed its fangs.
Shen Qiqi instantly felt a current running from the soles of her feet to her forehead. Her cheeks flushed like ripe apples. She lowered her eyes shyly and whispered, "What are you doing? There are so many people watching us." Her coquettish tone was like a coquettish kitten, tickling people's hearts.
Lu Qing curled his lips into a smile, leaned close to her ear, and spoke in a deeper voice: "I just want to tell you that I am proud of you for everything you do, just like now." His fiery gaze locked onto her, as if to suck her in.
Shen Qiqi's heartbeat was as fast as a drum. She felt her cheeks burning hot, almost burning. She gently pushed Lu Qing away and said coquettishly, "Stop it. Be careful not to be seen by Aunt Qian. This old lady is thin-skinned."
Hearing this, Lu Qing chuckled and returned to his usual self, but the emotion in his eyes became even stronger.
He took Shen Qiqi's hand, and said with a hint of teasing: "Let's go, my little talent, and see how our plan progresses."
The two continued to walk towards the village. Aunt Qian followed behind. Seeing what the two had just done, the corners of her mouth twitched slightly. At this moment, Lu Qing suddenly stopped, staring at the front with a puzzled expression on her face.
He slowly let go of Shen Qiqi's hand and said, "Wait, do you feel that there is something wrong with this..."
Lu Qing's brows were furrowed, and his eyes were as sharp as torches as he scanned the surroundings.
He keenly sensed something unusual, a hint of unease in the air.
At this moment, a sharp voice broke the tranquility of the afternoon, like a file, piercing the eardrums and causing pain.
"Oh my god, this cooperation is probably a big pit! We have to hold on to our village's purse tightly!" Accountant Sun's signature loud voice exploded at the entrance of the village, like a depth charge, instantly causing an uproar.
