After hearing Wu Zhongge's words, Song Lili was quite puzzled. How did Xu Youcai know that she was involved?
The only people who knew about her involvement were Zhang Qinghua, Daqing, and Yang Mei. These three people would definitely not betray her.
So where did this news come from? Or is it just something Xu Youcai made up out of thin air?
"Lili, will they cause you trouble?" Just as Song Lili was lost in thought, Wu Zhongge looked at her with a worried expression.
Song Lili quickly composed herself and said, "No, it's just a minor disagreement between us. Even if there's trouble, it's just a quarrel between neighbors, Grandpa, don't worry."
"Lili, don't let your guard down. Grandpa thinks you... should be careful." Qian Xianming, who had been listening the whole time, stammered as he spoke.
"Yes, one should always be wary of others, girl, it's best to be careful."
Wu Zhongge nodded seriously, "That's right, sometimes the people around you are the most venomous snakes."
Seeing the worried and even nervous looks on the faces of the elderly, Song Lili quickly nodded seriously, "Grandpas and Grandmas, don't worry, I will be careful."
She suddenly realized that the elderly people's strong reaction must be related to their experiences, and she needed to give them a proper answer to put their minds at ease.
Seeing Song Lili's serious expression, they were indeed relieved and breathed a sigh of relief.
Song Lili quickly stood up. "Grandpa and Grandma, it's getting late, I need to go home. You should get some rest too."
There aren't many entertainment options in the countryside at night, so people go to sleep as soon as it gets dark, and the elderly people are still the same.
"Okay, then be careful," Qian Xianming instructed.
"Don't worry, it's just a short walk. I'm off." Song Lili waved goodbye with a smile.
It's unclear whether it was intentional or unintentional when the houses were built, but the houses of the elderly people are less than 100 meters away from Song Lili's house as the crow flies.
It would take several minutes to walk along the normal route, but from the back, it's only a few steps.
When Song Lili came to the old man's place, she always took the back path because almost no one would appear on the back path at night.
When she went back, she naturally returned the same way.
Several elderly people initially considered seeing her off, but Song Lili was a brave person and not afraid to walk alone at night.
After being rejected by Song Lili several times, he got used to her going home alone.
When Song Lili returned home, her family was still sitting and chatting. She didn't disturb them, just lingered at the door for a moment, and then went into her room.
Less than ten minutes later, Xia Niu and Song Fang returned.
"Lili, you're still awake? I thought you were asleep." We were chatting when Lili suddenly said she was going to sleep and left by herself.
Xia Niu originally thought she would see Song Lili sleeping soundly and deeply, but she didn't expect to make eye contact with Song Lili as soon as she entered the door.
"Yes, I suddenly wasn't sleepy after I got back, and I was too lazy to go over. I just sat by myself for a while. Sister-in-law, are you done talking?"
"Yeah, it's nothing much. It's just that our boss told us about building a house in a couple of days and said we should find a few people to help out or something."
"Oh, I see. I understand." Song Lili gave a perfunctory reply and then lay down.
This was something she and Song Yongren had planned together. Song Jianshe helped hold Xia Niu back, and Song Fang was completely unaware of it, being dragged along to make up the numbers.
She said that to prevent Xia Niu from finding out, and also to let Song Yongren see that she wouldn't go home and wouldn't let the group disband.
The reason she went to the door just now was to let Song Yongren know that she was back and everyone could go back to sleep.
Soon, Song Fang was lying next to Song Lili, and Xia Niu was lying on the other side.
Song Lili turned to her side and listened quietly. After the two people next to her were both safely asleep, she turned over and quietly looked up at the sky.
Actually, she couldn't see anything. Her eyes were open, but unfocused; she was thinking about what Wu Zhongge had said earlier.
If Wu Zhongge heard correctly, then she had now become a thorn in Luo Juan's side.
Human imagination is limitless; knowing just one thing can lead to countless possibilities and feel infinitely real.
Xu Youcai told Luo Juan that it was her child who was involved, so Luo Juan would wonder if she was behind Luo Weijia's affairs.
Therefore, a thorn will remain in Luo Juan's heart, and she doesn't know when it will flare up.
It's also possible that Luo Juan will be more cautious and come to verify. If the verification is true, then they will truly be enemies.
If it's not true, there will still be a thorn in her heart, a thorn that will ache faintly.
Therefore, her relationship with Luo Juan has become somewhat delicate. If Luo Juan were to catch her making even the slightest mistake, things could get very serious.
It seems I need to be even more wary of Luo Juan from now on.
But how exactly did Xu Youcai know? This was something Song Lili couldn't figure out.
It's impossible that she was betrayed; she only knew three people, and she completely trusted them.
So, where exactly did things go wrong? Song Lili started to think from the beginning.
Suddenly, Song Lili's eyes lit up. She remembered that the account book had fallen from Qin Hongxia's body. So, could it be that she had lost it somewhere?
After thinking it over and over, Song Lili could only come up with this one answer, and this was the only possibility that existed.
But couldn't it just be a coincidence? Why did Qin Hongxia suddenly remember this at this moment? Was she pretending to be stupid all along?
Song Lili's dark conspiracy theories have surfaced.
It's not her fault, but the timing is just too special, forcing her to overthink and make such a guess.
Song Lili felt that someone like Qin Hongxia, with that kind of personality, seemed incapable of doing such a thing.
Therefore, she was very uncertain, unsure whether it was Qin Hongxia who told Xu Youcai.
Song Lili struggled for a long time but couldn't come to a conclusion, and in the end, she became even more conflicted.
She could only decide in her heart that she should stop overthinking for now and find an opportunity to test Qin Hongxia tomorrow or some other day.
If it really is Qin Hongxia, then a simple test would surely reveal the truth.
However, the sudden emergence of this incident has added some unnecessary uncertainty.
This made Song Lili a little irritable. It was really one problem after another, and she didn't know what it would eventually turn into.
She vaguely thought that she would have to be more careful in the future, especially with Luo Juan, whom she had to be constantly vigilant about.
You can't guard against them suddenly jumping out and biting you.
