As everyone quickly assembled, they were still discussing what had brought them together this time, but they didn't know why.
Those who knew the story whispered it to those who didn't.
Everyone who found out was furious, and they were all itching to grab those kids and beat them up.
Wheat straw is the fuel for heating the kang (a traditional heated bed) in the whole village during the winter. They rely on it to get through the winter. Now that it can't be lit, what will they do in the winter?
Many families had already made up their minds about what to do when they arrived at the stage.
Song Lili listened quietly without offering any thoughts.
She is generally tolerant of children and can forgive them if possible, but this time, the person in question seems to be outside the scope of her forgiveness.
When we arrived at the stage, we saw two small figures standing on it, one of whom was a bit chubby and plump.
There were quite a few people standing below the stage; they were the first to arrive and were pointing and commenting on the stage.
Song Lili was standing at the very back, so she couldn't see who was standing on the stage at all. However, judging from their height, the two of them should be big kids, around fourteen or fifteen years old.
As soon as Song Lili and her family stood still, they heard someone in front of them muttering, "Why is it Director Luo's son again this time? He was the one who stole grain from the warehouse last time. How long has it been? Why is he setting fire again?"
"That's because they have a powerful father, isn't it? Last time, they just lost some grain and everything was fine."
"If you ask me, he deserves to be taught a lesson. Give him a good beating. Let's see if he dares to do it again."
Song Lili couldn't help but raise an eyebrow from behind. It was Luo Yuejin again? Had this guy been through too much stress lately and gone a little crazy?
Otherwise, how long has it been since they were taught a lesson? Why are they causing trouble again?
However, it's a good thing that Luo Yuejin got into trouble, a really good thing.
Luo Weijia's image in the eyes of the villagers of Hongqi Village is getting worse and worse. Luo Yuejin keeps sabotaging his father, making Luo Weijia's situation more and more difficult.
I'm afraid an explosion isn't far off, is it? In the past six months alone, how many things have happened to this father and son?
Soon, all the villagers had arrived, crowding the stage.
This time, it was Li Weiguo who stood on the stage and spoke: "I believe everyone already knows what happened, right? I won't go into details, I just want to see how this matter is resolved."
Luo Weijia stood behind Li Weiguo, staring fiercely at Luo Yuejin, his heart filled with rage.
That brat! His father is losing his standing in this village, and now he's dragging him down.
Thinking about it, I should teach him a lesson in the future, otherwise who knows what kind of trouble he might cause.
However, the most urgent matter is to resolve this issue first, Luo Weijia thought frantically.
How can we minimize the damage in this situation?
Luo Weijia's eyes darted around, hoping to find something that could inspire him.
It's just that his mind is too chaotic right now, and he can't sort out his thoughts, so he can't come up with any good solutions.
Meanwhile, Luo Yuejin saw his older sister, Luo Juan, who slowly squeezed to his side.
When no one was paying attention, she stood behind Luo Yuejin and called him over.
Although Luo Yuejin was scared and dared not move, he also had a glimmer of hope that his sister might have a solution.
Finally, he reluctantly walked up to Luo Juan under everyone's gaze.
"Lower your head." It was also the first time Luo Juan had done something like this, and she was very nervous, her palms were sweaty.
Luo Yuejin obediently lowered his head, and Luo Juan immediately told him the solution she had come up with.
"Remember this, you absolutely cannot give in, or you'll get a beating today, and when you get home you'll be in for a really bad beating."
Luo Juan was still a little worried and gave Luo Yuejin a small threat.
Luo Yuejin shuddered as he recalled his previous experience of being beaten by Luo Weijia for stealing grain, and nodded hastily.
"Don't worry, sister, I will definitely not give in, not even if you beat me to death." As she spoke, she made a clenching motion.
Luo Juan nodded in relief, "Okay, I understand."
Then, he quietly hid in the crowd, waiting to see what would happen next.
After hearing his sister's words, Luo Yuejin's panic subsided a little. Looking at the dark mass of people below, he no longer felt afraid.
He kept adjusting his breathing, hoping to appear less nervous and afraid, while constantly replaying Luo Juan's words in his mind.
He repeated Luo Juan's words over and over again, rehearsing them in his mind, afraid that he would say something wrong and get beaten up.
Therefore, he was more serious than ever before, diligently memorizing his sister's words.
After saying that, Li Weiguo fell silent, but kept his eyes fixed on Luo Weijia.
Seeing Luo Weijia pacing back and forth like a cat on a hot tin roof, wringing his hands, I thought of my friend's words once again.
It seems he needs to make a decision.
Lu Qiaosheng was the first to speak. He was now openly standing opposite Luo Weijia, and almost everyone in Hongqi Village knew about it.
"I think they need to be punished properly. It hasn't been long since the warehouse was robbed, and now this straw has been set on fire. I think they deserve to be taught a lesson." This is also the sentiment of many people.
As soon as Lü Qiaosheng finished speaking, he immediately drew a lot of agreement.
"Yes, he deserves to be taught a lesson. Give him a good beating and see if he dares to do such a thing again."
"That's right. If you don't discipline these kids for a day, they'll be climbing on the roof and tearing off the tiles. They need to be properly taught a lesson."
"That's right. They won't learn unless they're punished. Let's teach them a lesson so they'll remember it properly."
Even Yang Weimin, who rarely speaks, couldn't help but nod, "They really need to be taught a lesson, otherwise they might cause trouble in the future."
“I think these kids are too lenient. We need to tighten the reins on them, or they’ll all become unruly.”
Zhang Qinghua and Daqing are both young, and it's not the right time for them to speak, otherwise it would feel like they're talking about themselves.
So, the two of them watched the show from behind, with Zhang Qinghua keeping a close eye on Luo Weijia.
Luo Weijia couldn't say anything at this moment, nor did he know what to say.
Luo Yuejin was caught red-handed by the militia for arson, with the evidence and several eyewitnesses present, so he had no chance of escaping.
Besides, almost everyone in the village is here now. If he favors his own child, he probably won't stand a chance in the next village chief election.
Therefore, after weighing the pros and cons, Luo Weijia ultimately decided to say nothing and let Luo Yuejin be taught a good lesson, since it wouldn't hurt him anyway.
