"They say that revenge only leads to more revenge, but I'm afraid it will never end," Zhang Qinghua said seriously.
There is no such thing as an absolutely lenient person in this world. No matter how broad-minded and kind a person is, there will always be people they dislike.
Then let's stop talking about those vengeful people. If such a person appears, many people will suffer.
Take Hongqi Village for example. If it were just Luo Juan, the entire village would probably suffer some harm.
By looking at specific examples and considering the bigger picture, we can see just how terrible the situation we will face in the future will be.
Li Weiguo and Zhang Shengtian were both shocked by what Zhang Qinghua described. They stared blankly at Zhang Qinghua, not knowing how to react.
On the contrary, Song Lili looked at Zhang Qinghua with great surprise, and then nodded and said, "Yes, that's what I meant too."
She couldn't say she knew what was going to happen in the future; Zhang Qinghua's words were truly a perfect excuse.
The two adults were so frightened by what the two children described that they couldn't come to their senses for a long time, but Song Lili and her husband didn't care and just waited for them to come to their senses on their own.
After a long while, the two of them seemed to wake up from a dream, but it was a nightmare, and neither of them looked well.
"Is...is this real?" Li Weiguo asked, still somewhat incredulous.
Zhang Shengtian sighed. He knew what Zhang Qinghua was like, so Li Weiguo had no further questions.
"Actually, when you think about it, what the two children said isn't wrong. The possibility is still very high, but we just don't want to think about it."
Song Lili didn't believe that Zhang Shengtian and Li Weiguo couldn't have imagined such a possibility.
However, they always tend to think of people in a kind way, which is why they rejected this possibility. It's just that this wishful thinking has now been shattered by Song Lili and the other person.
“Sigh…who can argue with that?” Li Weiguo sighed as well.
At this point, the two adults had come to agree with Song Lili and Zhang Qinghua's views.
"But how do we solve this?" Li Weiguo asked with a sigh, his head spinning with worry.
"This... I can't think of a solution right now," Zhang Shengtian said.
Although he is no longer the brigade leader, Li Weiguo still habitually consults him when there are things to discuss, so he knows most of what's going on in the village.
"Do you two have any good ideas?" Zhang Shengtian turned to ask Song Lili and the other woman who were silent.
Song Lili looked at Zhang Qinghua, indicating that she wanted Zhang Qinghua to speak first.
Zhang Qinghua paused for a moment before saying, "It's impossible to suppress this kind of thing, because the more you suppress it, the stronger the resistance will be, and it may even make things worse."
Song Lili nodded secretly. It's said that where there is oppression, there is resistance. Zhang Qinghua's words are quite true.
"This...this method doesn't work?" Li Weiguo said dejectedly, because this was the method he had just thought of, but it didn't work.
"Sigh... I also feel like I can't control them. Look at that bunch of brats, are they obedient? The more you try to control them, the more they'll jump around," Zhang Shengtian said resentfully.
"They might even turn around and accuse you of protecting those people and being in cahoots with them. They might treat you the same way they treated you today," Song Lili added quietly.
Such things have happened before; in times of turmoil, cases of collective punishment have occurred before.
"They dare!" Zhang Shengtian and Li Weiguo slammed their fists on the table in anger.
“Of course they dare! Look how arrogant they are right now! Do you really think they wouldn’t dare?” Zhang Qinghua followed up with a retort.
"This..." The two fell silent, because they were genuinely unsure.
"Therefore, the best approach is not to harbor any wishful thinking that they could not possibly do such a thing."
"You know, if someone walks into a dead end, no one can call them back, so if they really decide to do that, no one can stop them."
Teenagers are naturally in their rebellious phase, and in order to prove that they have grown up, they always want to go against adults.
Therefore, communicating in an adult manner at this time will be counterproductive and will not achieve the expected results.
"Then... how do you explain this?" Li Weiguo asked.
His own children are all quite obedient, so he really doesn't have any good solutions for dealing with these unruly kids.
Zhang Shengtian was also somewhat helpless. He and Li Weiguo were in the same situation; they had only seen it but had never experienced it firsthand.
“It’s better to guide than to block; suppressing is only used when there’s no other way,” Zhang Qinghua concluded.
Song Lili nodded. "Yes, the more we try to control them now, the stronger their resistance will be. The autumn harvest is coming soon, and we'll deal with those unruly kids after the harvest." Song Lili said with a deep look in her eyes.
"So... does that mean we should let them make a fuss for a month? Just ignore them?" Zhang Shengtian asked uncertainly. Was that really okay?
"No, I came here to tell Uncle Li that now it's all about work points. Let them make a fuss, but you won't get work points if you don't work in the fields."
"It'll be the same during the autumn harvest. When it's time to distribute the grain, I want to see if they want their lives or a revolution," Song Lili said sharply.
Faced with a choice between life and revolution, most people would likely make the choice that is most truthful and correct to them.
It's important to know that the work points awarded during the autumn harvest are different from those awarded at other times; the distribution of grain depends primarily on the autumn harvest.
If you don't participate in the autumn harvest, you'll probably just starve to death.
"We'll see what they choose then," Song Lili thought with a hint of malice.
Zhang Qinghua also smiled, looking at Song Lili with a mixture of helplessness and indulgent affection.
"This...that's it?" Li Weiguo and Zhang Shengtian looked at each other in disbelief. The coldness that Song Lili had exuded earlier made them feel uncomfortable.
At that time, it felt as if there were sharp swords pointed at them from all sides, making their hair stand on end.
This was the second time the two had experienced a different aura emanating from Song Lili, but the feeling was completely different.
Last time I felt a sense of authority and pressure, but this time I felt fear, coldness, and dread.
The two looked at each other and saw the same thing in each other's eyes: this girl is not simple.
Of course, Zhang Shengtian was probably even happier. Because his son liked this girl, they would be family from now on.
“Yes…that’s it. Let them choose for themselves when the time comes,” Song Lili said confidently.
People are always like this: when things don't go their way, they tend to shift the blame to others and make excuses for themselves.
Only by making your own choice can you avoid complaints. Even if you regret it in the end, you can only keep it to yourself and have no one to blame you.
What Song Lili wanted was for them to willingly settle down, live quietly, and behave themselves.
