Song Lili and Luo Weijia quickly reached a consensus and resolved the issue.
When the people in the courtyard emerged from the enormous sum of three hundred yuan, they were surprised to find that the two sides, who had previously been at odds, had actually reached a consensus.
The matter was resolved without any warning.
Song Yongren was completely bewildered when Song Lili dragged him home.
The matter seemed to have passed just like that, and no one brought it up again after that day, but rumors began to circulate in private.
It is said that Luo Weijia and Xu Youcai, together, have embezzled an unknown amount of money, including three hundred yuan, which they could easily take out.
Finally, the rumors started to distort the truth, and people began to say that Luo Weijia had embezzled several thousand yuan from the village. The stories were told in great detail and with seemingly convincing details.
They even know exactly when and how much money they embezzled.
By the time it reached Song Lili's ears, it had been exaggerated many times over.
Song Lili smiled; she was very satisfied with the result.
The days that followed returned to their monotonous routine. Every day consisted of going to the fields and going home to sleep; nothing else mattered.
Throughout May, all the farmers were busy weeding the fields, squatting in the fields pulling weeds again and again, just to prevent the weeds from stealing nutrients from the crops.
Throughout May, Song Lili, the Zhang family, and even the Daqing family all focused their attention on the Luo family, keeping a close eye on them at all times.
In order to get Xia Jun to help her, Song Lili exaggerated Luo Weijia's resentment towards Xia Jun and told him about it.
In the end, Xia Jun was also coaxed and tricked by Song Lili into coming over to help Song Lili keep an eye on Luo Weijia.
It can be said that the Luo family, especially the Luo family, were under surveillance whenever they went out.
Even so, they couldn't find anything wrong with Luo Weijia.
With the autumn harvest just around the corner, things were still not progressing, and Song Lili was so anxious that she wanted to visit Luo Weijia's house.
Finally, Zhang Qinghua stopped her and told her not to rush, saying that he already had a plan, and Song Lili calmed down.
As June arrives, farmers begin preparing for the autumn harvest. All tools are checked to ensure they are usable without any unexpected issues that could disrupt the process.
Also, things like hemp rope and sickle need to be secured more firmly, etc.
The livestock also need to be well taken care of. They absolutely cannot be short of grass at night, and they should be given more than enough so that they have the strength to harvest in the fall.
Besides these, in early June, something else, neither too big nor too small, happened that once again disturbed the peace in Hongqi Village.
On the eighth day of the sixth lunar month, the village loudspeaker, which had been silent for several years, suddenly blared, telling the village officials to hurry to the office.
The village officials, who were working in the fields, didn't want to delay, so they rushed to the stage without stopping, not knowing what had happened.
Li Weiguo shouted through the loudspeaker, and everyone looked at her with suspicion, eager to know the answer.
"Secretary, what's going on? Why were we suddenly called back from the fields? What happened? The autumn harvest is almost here, we can't afford to be delayed."
"Yes, yes, Secretary, what's the matter? Just say it quickly, we're still busy in the fields."
The others nodded in agreement, "Yeah, there's a ton of work to do in the fields."
"Alright, stop arguing. People from town have come and said all the village officials, big and small, should wait. I don't know what's going on."
Li Weiguo had just received the news. He immediately used a loudspeaker to announce it, afraid of delaying things.
Doesn't he know he's busy in the fields? He's worked the land his whole life, what doesn't he know?
"Huh? People from town? What's wrong now? What are they checking this time?" Everyone vividly remembered Qian Liulin's last visit.
"Don't these people in town know the autumn harvest is coming soon? Why are they running down there for no reason? Who's going to be responsible if they cause any delays?"
"Could something have happened? Why did they suddenly call everyone back?" Everyone wondered.
Upon hearing this news, Luo Weijia's heart skipped a beat, and he suddenly had a very bad premonition.
He always had a sense of unease, always feeling that something bad was going to happen.
Moreover, it is very likely that it is related to him.
Zhang Qinghua was also pondering what the people from the town really meant.
Yes, this time, not only Zhang Qinghua came, but also Daqing, the newly appointed militia captain.
In addition to the Party Secretary and Director, there were also the captains of five brigades, making for an unprecedentedly well-organized group.
Everyone was speculating, wondering what the people from the town wanted to inspect. Only Zhang Qinghua remembered what Song Lili had said to Zhang Shengtian not long ago.
She said time was of the essence. Could it be related to what she was talking about when the people from town came? And do they even have time?
I believe it. Zhang Qinghua couldn't help but look up at Luo Weijia and noticed that Luo Weijia's expression was not good, and there seemed to be some unease in it.
Zhang Qinghua's heart skipped a beat. Could it be that Luo Weijia also knew something?
Zhang Qinghua was unsure, since both Song Lili and Luo Weijia knew.
If Song Lili weren't here right now, she would definitely have sneered and firmly said it was impossible.
Luo Weijia isn't from the future, so how could he possibly know what she knows?
Luo Weijia didn't know anything; he just felt very bad, that was all.
Everyone waited anxiously and nervously, anticipating either a violent storm or a gentle drizzle.
About twenty minutes later, we saw a few people walking over from the other side of the bridge at the village entrance.
Li Weiguo didn't plan to pick them up either; he never did that kind of thing.
Luo Weijia, who is usually the most proactive, was still frowning and thinking about his unpleasant feeling, unaware that someone had already arrived.
So they stood there and waited for those people to come closer.
When they got closer, they could see that there were four people: three men and one woman. Two of them looked familiar.
One of them was Xiao Sun, who was with Qian Liulin last time. He's someone everyone is familiar with.
When Xiao Sun saw that everyone was waiting, he didn't stand on ceremony and pointed directly at a man and a woman, the two unfamiliar faces, and said, "These are the experts who were filmed to study our local climate and crops?"
"The town's intention is to come to your village, not the other villages. Please cooperate fully with the experts' work."
"If experts discover any high-yield crops, your village will be the first place to test them."
"Just cooperate with them." Then, pointing to another person, he said, "This is Xiao Wang, an official from the town, who is here to handle some of the experts' miscellaneous tasks."
"From now on, he will be staying in your village with these two experts. You can take them there. I have other things to do, so I'll be leaving now."
