Zhang Qinghua was definitely embarrassed, but he didn't ignore Song Lili's expression. Seeing the faint expression on Song Lili's face, he knew that she was angry.
Ignoring her embarrassment, she hurriedly explained, "I...I know what you just said, I heard everything."
"So what did I say?"
"You said you wanted to find a few people to beat up Song Jianguo, and I agreed."
"I really heard it." Song Lili murmured to herself, her discomfort disappearing because Zhang Qinghua was indeed listening.
"What was that expression you made just now?" Song Lili asked curiously. Why did it look so strange?
Now we're back to square one, and Zhang Qinghua feels uneasy again, though not as badly as before.
He gripped the sickle tightly in his hand and pulled hard on the rope of the basket with his other hand. It took him a while to speak.
"I...I just suddenly thought that you would treat me like this in the future, and hit me...so that's why..."
That's all I have to say, but Song Lili understood everything.
At first, I couldn't believe it when I heard it. How could Zhang Qinghua's aunt think like that? Then I found it very funny.
Song Lili couldn't help but burst into laughter. Seeing Zhang Qinghua's face getting redder and redder, she laughed even more uncontrollably.
"Hahaha...haha...you...how could you think that? Haha...I'm laughing...I'm dying of laughter."
Song Lili clutched her stomach, trying to stop, but she couldn't help but laugh whenever she saw Zhang Qinghua.
Finally, she laughed until she was so weak that she couldn't stand up and collapsed.
This startled Zhang Qinghua. She dropped the sickle in her hand and quickly grabbed Song Lili. Because of her nervousness, she didn't control her strength well and pulled Song Lili into his arms.
"Ouch...it hurts..." Now, Song Lili was in trouble. She had been hit on the nose, and it was on Zhang Qinghua's cloth button that she immediately felt pain.
Then, my nose tingled, and tears welled up in my eyes. When I looked up again, there was no laughter left. All I could see was a pitiful, tearful face.
"Lili, what's wrong? Why are you crying? I... I'm fine..." Zhang Qinghua was completely bewildered.
What did he do to make Lili cry? He didn't say anything, so why did Lili cry?
Zhang Qinghua was like an ant on a hot pan, anxiously pacing around, but he didn't know how to comfort Song Lili.
Song Lili was rubbing her nose to relieve the pain, the soreness in her nose, and the tears welling up involuntarily. She didn't pay attention to Zhang Qinghua.
When they heard Zhang Qinghua's helpless voice, they looked up and saw Zhang Qinghua looking like a headless fly.
"What are you doing?" Song Lili asked in a muffled voice, her nose still stinging and tears streaming down her face, sounding like she was crying.
"Lili, are you...are you angry? I...I..." Zhang Qinghua stammered for a long time, not knowing what to say.
Anyway, he racked his brains but couldn't figure out what he had done wrong that made Lili cry.
"Why am I angry?" Song Lili's voice was muffled, but she finally stopped crying, though her eyes were still wet.
"You...you're not angry?" Zhang Qinghua asked cautiously. "But then why are you crying?"
“Cry? I didn’t cry.” Song Lili denied crying at all. She wiped her nose before realizing what Zhang Qinghua meant by crying.
She quickly wiped away her tears hastily. "I'm not crying, it's just that I bumped my nose somewhere and it hurts."
She didn't know what was so hard, but it hurt so much that she couldn't hold back her tears.
"Huh?" Zhang Qinghua opened his mouth wide, not knowing what to say. He never expected such an answer.
"I'm not angry. Besides, you didn't make me angry, so why should I be angry? I'm not crazy."
"That's because it hurts, that's why it looks like I'm crying," Song Lili explained slowly, feeling incredibly comforted inside.
Zhang Qinghua's behavior made her very happy. His care for her made her feel a faint sense of happiness.
"Oh," Zhang Qinghua didn't know what to say next.
Song Lili wrinkled her nose. Zhang Qinghua was such a blockhead, only answering with one word? Some more sensitive girls would probably get angry, right?
However, Song Lili knew that he wasn't just being perfunctory, and she knew what kind of person he was, so she wasn't angry.
"You promised to help me, so remember to help me. I can't find anyone else, so I can only ask you." Song Lili's voice was soft, and she unconsciously adopted a coquettish tone.
"Okay," Zhang Qinghua's voice immediately softened, looking at Song Lili with doting eyes, almost patting her head.
I'll just glance around and then decide against it; it wouldn't be good if someone saw us outside.
"I've realized that it's so great to have you around. If there's anything I can't do, you can definitely do it." It's just like Doraemon; you can make a wish and it will come true.
"I will help you with anything you want to do, Lili."
"And what about you? Is there anything you want to do?" Zhang Qinghua had always been the one helping her, and she seemed to have never said anything about what she wanted.
"I just want my family to live peacefully and healthily, and then to make a good life on our own. That's enough," Zhang Qinghua said quietly, gazing at the distant sky.
Since the famine, this had become his greatest wish and what he most wanted to achieve.
As for the others, they can all be put aside, but now there's one more.
Zhang Qinghua looked at the girl beside him. Now, he had another wish: to have someone by his side and live a peaceful life together.
Song Lili had no idea what Zhang Qinghua was thinking. She just felt that Zhang Qinghua was being a little sad at the moment and didn't want to see it.
So, she patted Zhang Qinghua on the shoulder in a rather exaggerated way and said, "Is that all your wish is? My wish is much bigger."
"What is Lili's wish?" Zhang Qinghua was also a little curious, as Song Lili's previous dislike had lessened considerably.
"I want to go out and see the world. The world is so big, how can I stay cooped up in this small village forever? Of course I want to go out and see it for myself."
"I don't know what beautiful things are out there yet. I don't want to stay here, toiling in the fields, and let my whole life just pass by like this."
"Okay, in a year or two I'll go with Lili to see the world, let's go see it together."
"No, no, no, I don't want to. Let's wait another ten years." Going out now is practically suicide, and she doesn't want to put herself on a dead end.
Let's talk about it after things settle down. For now, it's more practical to stay put in this little mountain village.
