Song Erzhuang responded and turned to leave.
The brigade leader and his wife have a very good relationship. Li Zhen's spreading of rumors is really going too far and she should be arrested!
Li Zhen and Song Dalong panicked and rushed forward to grab Song Erzhuang.
Song Dalong: "Erzhuang, don't go. My wife was just joking. Don't take it seriously."
Li Zhen immediately chimed in, "Yes, I was just kidding. I won't say anything more. Just pretend I was talking nonsense."
Song Fanxing rolled her eyes. She was just talking nonsense; she couldn't say anything nice.
Song Erzhuang looked at Song Guoqiang, seeking his opinion. He would immediately go back and call his brothers as soon as he gave the word.
Song Guoqiang gave him a wink, and Song Erzhuang turned back.
Li Zhen and Song Dalong both breathed a sigh of relief.
Song Guoqiang said, "Since Fang Jie does not agree to the search, let's leave it at that for now. I'll go report to the commune and wait for their news."
Upon hearing this, Li Zhen thought, "When will that be? My family is waiting for our share of grain."
No, no! Absolutely not!
"Captain, why don't you talk to Fang Jie and persuade her? It won't hurt to search her."
Li Zhen was no longer as arrogant as she had been at the beginning.
Song Guoqiang looked at Fang Jie but didn't say anything.
Fang Jie looked at her daughter and said, "I'll listen to my Xingxing. If she agrees, you can search. If she doesn't agree, I won't agree either."
Everyone looked at Song Fanxing.
Li Zhen: "Fang Jie, you're letting a 3-year-old decide such an important matter? Are you kidding me?"
“I’m not kidding you, I just listen to my Xingxing.”
"What do kids know?"
Song Fanxing stepped forward, raised her chin, and looked cold and indifferent.
"Second Aunt, I can agree to let you search, but if you don't find what you're looking for, you'll have to walk around the village, shouting loudly as you go, 'I'm sorry to my sister-in-law, I wronged her, I'm a pig!'"
After hearing this, Li Zhen's face turned as black as charcoal.
Song Yaohui and Song Yaohua burst out laughing; their sister was too clever.
Fang Jie also covered her mouth and laughed. She knew that with her daughter there, Li Zhen wouldn't be able to find anything.
Song Guoqiang and Song Erzhuang chuckled. How did the little girl come up with such a wicked idea? Is she really 3 years old?
Song Fanxing stated her requirements, and now it was up to Li Zhen to decide.
Li Zhen: "You brat, how could you do this? I'm your second aunt, your elder!"
"Second Aunt, I didn't force you. You don't have to agree. I know these conditions are unacceptable to most people. It's okay, you can go now."
"Song Fanxing!"
"Second Aunt!!! If you want to howl, go home and howl, don't scare people in my house."
Song Fanxing stood with her hands on her hips, looking both cute and fierce.
Song Guoqiang rubbed his hands together, really wanting to go up and hug her. How could this girl be so cute?
Song Dalong said, "Wife, maybe we should forget about it. If we don't find anything, you'll embarrass yourself."
He didn't want to lose face either.
"No! Search! We must search!"
Li Zhen shouted.
The money must be with Fang Jie. She needs to find it; her family is waiting for their share of grain.
She couldn't imagine how her family would survive if they didn't get any food.
Song Fanxing smiled slightly, stepped aside, and let them into the house.
“Alright, search away, Captain. You heard what happened today, so you have to be our witness. If we don’t find anything, you have to make Auntie apologize to my mother in front of the whole village.”
Song Guoqiang squatted down, his gaze level with Song Fanxing's, and said with a smile, "Okay, I'll be your witness."
Li Zhen and Song Guo couldn't wait to rush into the house and start searching.
When Song Fanxing's consciousness entered the space, their family's little treasury lay on the table in the bamboo house, and several baskets of grain and vegetables were in the center of the room.
Song Guoqiang and his companions searched the place thoroughly but couldn't find a single penny.
There was only one able-bodied person in the family. If it weren't for Song Darong supporting them, the whole family would have starved to death.
They're so poor! It's just one room with a thatched roof. How are they going to survive the winter?
Song Guoqiang couldn't help but worry about them.
Li Zhen was not giving up and still wanted to go to the cellar.
As a result, there were only two baskets of grain in the cellar.
Song Guoqiang said, "This is the grain that Fang Jie received this year."
The group returned to the courtyard.
Fang Jie said, "I've already said I didn't take my mother-in-law's money, but you don't believe me."
Li Zhen shouted frantically, "Impossible! Did you hide the money somewhere else?"
Fang Jie said helplessly, "Li Zhen, don't make trouble for me. I really didn't take my mother-in-law's money. Even if I, Fang Jie, die of poverty and have to go out begging, I would never do such a thing."
Before Li Zhen could say anything more, Song Guoqiang stopped her.
“Li Zhen, there’s a limit to going crazy. Stop making a scene. Tomorrow morning, walk around the village and apologize to Fang Jie.”
"Captain...I..."
“Li Zhen, you made that promise yourself, and I also promised Xingxing to be my witness. You can’t make me break my promise.”
Li Zhen was so angry that she turned around and left.
Song Fanxing called out, "Second Aunt, don't forget!"
Li Zhen had just reached the courtyard gate when she stumbled and fell flat on her face.
Song Dalong hurriedly went up to help her up.
"Honey, are you alright?"
Li Zhen didn't want to talk and hurriedly ran away.
Song Erzhuang slapped his forehead. "Captain, I forgot to ask Song Dalong's family if they need to buy grain this year."
Song Guoqiang: "Let's ask again tomorrow. I don't think they can come up with the money today."
Tomorrow is also unlikely.
However, as someone from a village, he gave them one day; otherwise, they wouldn't be allowed to continue.
Soon, Song Guoqiang and Song Erzhuang also left.
The courtyard suddenly fell silent.
Just as Fang Jie was about to speak, Song Fanxing put her index finger to her lips.
