At the bridge at the village entrance, Song Lili unexpectedly ran into Luo Juan, who was just about to leave. She couldn't help but think to herself, "What a small world!"
However, she didn't intend to approach her directly. She nodded to Luo Juan and tried to walk past her to go home.
It was already dusk, and wisps of smoke were rising from the village not far away, indicating that it was time for dinner.
Song Lili had just passed by Luo Juan when, unexpectedly, Luo Juan took the initiative to call out to her.
Song Lili cursed inwardly, but still turned her head and asked calmly, "Is there something you need?"
"It's nothing, but I just want to see if you're still the Song Lili I used to know. You haven't changed into a different person, have you?"
Song Lili's heart skipped a beat. Had Luo Juan discovered something unusual about her? But two years had passed; surely no one could remember what she looked like back then?
So, did Luo Juan really discover something?
"Are you kidding me? Try something else. Were we that close before? I don't remember us being that close."
Although she had her doubts, Song Lili didn't show them on her face. She controlled her emotions and didn't let Luo Juan see them.
"You don't even know what I used to be like, do you? How dare you say I've become a different person? If you're going to talk nonsense, at least make it believable, you know?"
"Why are you so agitated? I was just joking." Luo Juan squinted, somewhat nonchalantly, as if what she just said was really just a casual remark.
"That's right, it was just a joke. So I suggest you go wash your eyes, otherwise you're really blind, saying such a ridiculous thing."
Luo Juan was nonchalant, and Song Lili remained calm; they were all testing each other, a contest of mental fortitude.
Song Lili believed that she had a relatively good mental fortitude and that facing Luo Juan would not be a problem.
"Hehe... You're right. If it were someone else, how could they be completely flawless? How could they just become smarter?"
"Luo Juan, what exactly are you trying to say? Please hurry up, I'm in a rush to get home and cook dinner, I don't have time for your nonsense."
Song Lili grew impatient. She knew that Luo Juan's intention in saying this was nothing more than to test Xu Youcai's account book.
But will she tell her?
"Go home and cook? Didn't your brother get married? Do you expect me to cook? Doesn't your uncle love you a lot? Why would he make you cook?"
Luo Juan seemed surprised by what Song Lili said and opened her eyes wide to ask for details.
"My family's affairs are none of your business, and whether my uncle is in pain or not is none of your concern. If there's nothing else, I'll be leaving now."
Song Lili glanced at Luo Juan and felt that continuing the conversation would only be a waste of time and pointless. She might as well go home and play with Fangfang.
"It has nothing to do with me, and I don't care about your affairs. But Song Lili, I really didn't expect you to be so smart."
"You've brought down someone like Xu Youcai who's been bullying people in Hongqi Village for years. You've really impressed me."
"Are you out of your mind?" Song Lili stared at Luo Juan. "How did I leave Xu Youcai out? What are you talking about? Please say something I can understand, or at least speak like a normal person."
Song Lili thought to herself, "As expected." Sure enough, Luo Juan had already suspected her; otherwise, she wouldn't have said such a thing.
"What does Xu Youcai have to do with me? You should at least provide evidence before you spout nonsense, okay? Where is your evidence?"
"I don't have any evidence, but I know you did it. Don't try to deny it. I know everything." Luo Juan's tone was casual, but her eyes were fixed on Song Lili without blinking.
Song Lili laughed, a somewhat sarcastic laugh. "Luo Juan, could you please clarify things before you come here? You just say it's me with your lips, then why don't you produce some witnesses and evidence?"
"If it's just talk, then why would I say it was you? You did all of this, and I know everything, so just admit it."
Song Lili didn't intend to confront Luo Juan now, so she decided to fight fire with fire, using Luo Juan's methods against her.
"Tch, you think I'd believe you? What are you pretending for, Song Lili? Wouldn't it be better to be honest and take responsibility for your actions? Why be so hypocritical?"
"I think you're the hypocrite. Being too fake just makes you seem pretentious, so you'd better just tell me what you really want."
"I prefer things to be straightforward. You're going around in circles here, and I really don't understand what you're talking about."
"I wish you really didn't understand, but I don't believe you can't comprehend it, Song Lili, I know it's you."
"You're crazy. I think you've been kicked in the head by a donkey. You're just spouting nonsense. I don't have time to talk nonsense with you. I need to go home."
After finishing her sentence, Song Lili turned around and went home. She took two steps and then stopped without turning back. "By the way, when you talk about others, it's best to provide evidence. I, Song Lili, am not someone to be trifled with. I don't believe anyone can bully me."
"So I hope this won't happen again next time. I can tolerate it once, but I can't tolerate it a second time. I hope you can remember that."
Luo Juan watched Song Lili walk away with an inexplicable look in her eyes. If you looked closely, you could see a hint of resentment in her eyes, along with a little uncertainty.
However, Song Lili was unaware of all this. After walking a distance, she breathed a sigh of relief, paused for a moment, and then headed home.
Luo Juan has already become suspicious, so she will definitely try to find ways to prove that she did those things.
Once Luo Juan confirms it, the next step is to deal with her with all our might and avenge Luo Weijia.
Fortunately, such an opportunity has come to fruition, so Luo Juan won't stay still for long; she'll make her move soon.
Song Lili had already anticipated that someone would seize on this matter, so apart from Xu Youcai's case, she didn't get involved in anything else.
So even if Luo Juan wanted to investigate, it wouldn't involve Song Lili, and Zhang Qinghua and the others wouldn't say anything, so Song Lili felt at ease.
However, Song Lili was a little worried about Lü Qiaosheng, wondering if he would tell anyone, since Lü Qiaosheng was not on her side.
The reason everyone cooperated in the first place was simply because they shared the same goal, which is why they helped each other. Lü Qiaosheng had overheard what she and Zhang Qinghua were planning.
However, they were only overheard at the time, and no substantial evidence was left behind. Even if Lü Qiaosheng really turned against her, she could completely reverse the situation.
With that thought, Song Lili felt much more at ease and walked home with light steps.
When I got home, Xia Niu had already prepared dinner: multigrain noodles with a few fresh cabbages, which was quite good.
