"As long as Grandpa and Grandma don't misunderstand me, that's fine." Song Lili breathed a sigh of relief, worried that the elderly people might get stuck on something.
Now that things are out in the open, there's no need to worry about her doing anything in the future that might cause misunderstandings.
Qian Xianming smiled at Song Lili and said, "Don't worry, child, we know what we're doing." They had seen how she had behaved over the past few months.
Wu Zhongge also said, "I'm not that stupid."
Li Zhiyuan was so angry that he puffed out his beard and glared at Wu, "So you're saying I'm stupid?"
Wu Zhongge glanced at Li Zhiyuan with disdain and said, "I didn't say that."
“You…” Li Zhiyuan was so angry that he pointed at Wu Zhongge but couldn’t speak.
"Hehe...haha..." Song Lili laughed happily.
"Hehe..." The two old people laughed along.
Song Lili thought to herself, it seems that the two old men, Li Zhiyuan and Wu Zhongge, have already treated her as family, otherwise they wouldn't have shown such a childlike side.
Looking again at the smiling, seemingly gentle Qian Xianming and Zhao Qian, Song Lili couldn't help but sigh inwardly.
These two people, who seem to be the easiest to talk to, are actually the hardest to talk to. Right now, she probably still feels a bit distant from him.
However, it doesn't matter, as long as you don't refuse her kindness. She promised to help Brother Qian in the first place.
After saying what she wanted to say, Song Lili left, afraid that if she stayed too long, someone would see her and it would eventually reach Luo Juan's ears.
Moreover, the matter with Song Jianguo at home also needs to be resolved as soon as possible.
After Song Lili left, Qian Xianming looked in the direction she had gone and muttered to himself, "That girl is too smart."
Zhao Qian chimed in, "Yeah, we didn't say anything, yet she guessed it. Luckily, she's kind-hearted, otherwise..."
She didn't say what else, but the others understood what she meant.
"Of course, this child looks like she has a kind heart, otherwise I wouldn't have treated her that way." Li Zhiyuan waved his hand casually.
"A smart and pretty girl," Wu Zhongge also said.
"Yes, she's smart and kind. I hope she won't change in the future, otherwise we old folks will be in trouble..." Qian Xianming sighed after sitting down.
"Old Qian, you're overthinking things. I have a good eye for people. That girl won't do that. Don't let your imagination run wild."
"You still have a distance between you and that girl, don't you? You're not sure you can completely trust her yet? I'm telling you, you have so many problems," Li Zhiyuan said, disapprovingly.
That's just his personality—straightforward and direct—so sometimes he really can't stand Qian Xianming's overly cautious and hesitant nature.
Qian Xianming glared angrily at what he was being said, "I'm only doing this for the safety of us old guys, otherwise why would I do this?"
"I think you're all brawn and no brains. Haven't you learned your lesson from what happened before?"
"You... that's because they're heartless, not my problem. I can guarantee that the girl won't have any problems."
“I didn’t say she had a problem…” Qian Xianming started arguing.
"Alright, stop arguing. How old are you both? Aren't you afraid of being laughed at? You're both right, okay?" Zhao Qian quickly stopped them.
"Hmph, don't think I don't know. You and Lao Qian are thinking the same thing. Do you think that girl doesn't know? She knows it perfectly well." Li Zhiyuan sneered at Zhao Qian.
"Okay, you're right, alright? Aren't you tired? Go and get some rest."
"Hmph," Li Zhiyuan snorted and went into the house, while Wu Zhongge muttered "childish" behind him.
Then, Wu Zhongge turned to face Qian Xianming and Zhao Qian and said, "This time, I'm on Lao Li's side. I also believe in that kid."
After saying that, he went inside, leaving Zhao Qian and Qian Xianming staring at each other, wondering, "So, we're the ones who are caught in the middle?"
Song Lili, who had caused the argument among the elderly, was unaware of what had happened. This time, she went to Song Yongli's house to find Song Jianguo.
I don't know if it was just good luck, but we actually caught Song Jianguo, and happened to run into him on his way home.
"What are you doing here?" Song Jianguo was the first to notice Song Lili enter, and he looked at her with an unfriendly expression.
He still remembered the time Song Lili hit him, and he also remembered the time she forced him to write an IOU, so he didn't give Song Lili a friendly look at all.
Song Lili looked at Song Jianguo, a smile involuntarily appearing on her lips. She crossed her arms and said, "Of course I came to find you."
After waiting for so long, it's finally here, how could I not seize the opportunity?
"You're looking for me? What do you want? I don't have any money." Song Jianguo's first thought was that Song Lili had come to collect a debt.
"Don't worry, I'm not here to ask for money today." Song Lili said slowly, "However, if you don't behave well, then it might turn into a debt collection."
"What...what are you going to do?" Song Jianguo watched Song Lili approach step by step, and he retreated step by step in fright.
Song Lili found it somewhat amusing. Had she frightened the child too much? Otherwise, why would the child run away like a mouse seeing a cat?
"You brat, what are you doing here?" Madam Gu came out and pointed at Song Lili, asking fiercely.
"Grandma, don't get so angry. It's better for older people to be calm and peaceful. Getting angry can easily harm your health," Song Lili said slowly.
Seeing her like this made Gu Shi so angry that his liver ached. His hand, which was pointing at Song Lili, trembled, and his chest heaved rapidly.
Song Lili didn't argue with Gu Shi, and looked at Song Jianguo, asking, "What are you going to do?"
If she wasn't mistaken, Song Jianguo was about to leave again.
I couldn't help but feel relieved. If I had been a little later, I probably would have missed it again, and I don't know when I would have another chance to see it.
"What business is it of yours what my grandson does? You little whore, get out of here!" Gu Shi pointed at Song Lili's nose and cursed.
Song Lili's face darkened. Anyone would be upset if someone pointed at them and insulted them like that, not even a family member.
So, she looked at Song Jianguo with a sinister gaze and asked, "Tell me, what are you going to do?"
Song Jianguo was frightened by Song Lili's gaze and hid behind Gu Shi, but his fear from before was gone. He poked his head out, stretched his neck, and shouted, "What's it to you?"
Song Lili looked at him and said, "You don't think you can act recklessly just because you have Grandma, do you? Do you think she can protect you?"
"You'd better think about the previous times. Did she protect you?" Song Lili looked into Song Jianguo's eyes and said, word by word.
"You...I..." Upon hearing this, Song Jianguo was indeed frightened and shrank back behind Gu Shi.
Song Jianguo quieted down, but Gu Shi flew into a rage, "You little whore, what did you say? Say it again, say it again if you dare!"
"Grandma, are you hard of hearing? I didn't hear what I just said, so do I need to say it again?"
