"Alright, starting tomorrow, follow the group. Do whatever they do. When Luo Juan and the others came looking for me, I refused them outright."
"Don't go out with them and wander around. If possible, it's best to cut off all contact with them."
"As long as you do what I say, you'll be fine," Song Lili said, looking down at Song Jianguo.
"Okay, okay, I'll listen to you, I'll listen to everything you say," Song Jianguo said, wiping away his tears and sobbing.
Song Lili twitched her lips. She really despised Song Jianguo. He had no responsibility, no backbone, and yet he was jumping around so happily.
If it weren't for her, she probably would have ruined herself sooner or later.
Therefore, she spoke very rudely to Song Jianguo: "You better remember what you said, otherwise I won't care even if you die."
Song Lili's low, resolute tone frightened Song Jianguo, further solidifying his resolve not to get involved.
"I will remember, I will remember." He nodded frantically.
"Okay, you can go back now. It's late, we should go to sleep too," Song Lili said in a good mood.
With one thing resolved, she could finally feel a little relieved.
Starting from the second day, Song Jianguo really did as he said, and stopped running around with Luo Juan and the others to criticize and struggle against him. Instead, he stayed at home obediently.
When it was time, they would go to the fields with the production team, and after that, they would go home to eat and rest, rarely leaving their own homes.
This has left many people puzzled and finding it somewhat unbelievable.
This was the most well-behaved Song Jianguo had been since birth, without exception. Many people were curious as to why Song Jianguo had become like this.
Even Gu Shi and Song Yongli kept asking, but Song Jianguo stubbornly refused to say anything and didn't tell anyone.
Song Lili and Song Yongren would certainly not say anything, and as for Xia Niu, she had no idea at all, so this matter seems to have become an unsolved mystery.
After Song Jianguo calmed down, Zhou Jiaming was dragged out again, and this time, his condition could only be described as appalling.
I don't know when I got injured, but the wound wasn't treated properly and became infected and festering. Plus, the environment I was in was bad, which made it even worse.
Sure enough, Song Lili knew at a glance that Zhou Jiaming's body had been completely drained and he was just barely holding on.
He smelled foul, probably from his wounds. Song Lili thought he was about to give up.
It seems that Luo Juan did not only criticize Zhou Jiaming in Hongqi Village, but also did so in other places.
Otherwise, Zhou Jiaming wouldn't have been injured so severely.
Song Lili realized once again how ruthless and vicious Luo Juan was.
Sure enough, a few days later, Song Lili heard that Zhou Jiaming had died in a dilapidated house by the bridge that had been uninhabited for a long time. His body was not discovered until several days later.
When she heard the news, Song Lili was at home. She felt there was no need to go to the fields recently, so she didn't go.
She was thinking about what other preparations she needed to make.
There shouldn't be any problems at home, and the elderly people are also fine for the time being, since no one has pointed the finger at them yet.
Therefore, I didn't have many thoughts about the news of Zhou Jiaming's death.
"Fangfang, where did you hear that from?" Song Lili looked at her sister, whose eyes were sparkling, with amusement.
That's right, it was Song Fang. It was Song Fang who told Song Lili the news of Zhou Jiaming's death.
“Everyone’s talking about it; you can hear it as long as you go out,” Song Fang said excitedly.
"He's dead, so he's dead. It's a relief for him. It's probably harder for him to be alive."
After all, Luo Juan had been targeting him all along. He either had the ability to bring Luo Juan down, or he could only free himself.
Due to various reasons, Zhou Jiaming chose the second option.
"Really?" Song Fang didn't quite understand what Song Lili was saying. However, this didn't affect her mood.
"Anyway, it's a good thing he's dead. Many people say he deserved it, and he even bullied my sister before, so he deserved it even more, humph."
Song Lili asked in surprise, "Fangfang, how do you know he bullied me?" She had never told Song Fang about this.
"I...I overheard it. He was talking to Luo Yuejin. I heard it," Song Fang said softly, her head down, looking like she had done something wrong.
Song Lili looked at her amusedly, so it was only now that she realized she had made a mistake. Wasn't it a little too late?
However, she didn't mean to blame Song Fang. It wasn't like she was specifically eavesdropping; she just overheard it by accident, so it was fine.
"Alright, I don't blame you. He's already dead. Let's not talk about this anymore, okay? Let's just pretend it never happened, okay?"
She was afraid that Luo Juan would turn her attention to Song Fang in order to protect Luo Yuejin, which was something she didn't want to see.
"Okay, I understand." Song Fang obediently agreed and happily went out.
Song Lili's attention was still focused on this. Zhou Jiaming's death still stirred something within her.
That means my understanding of Luo Juan has reached a new level.
This person was truly ruthless in achieving his goals, which was terrifying. In just a short time, Zhou Jiaming was already finished.
So, who will be next? Will it be her?
However, Song Lili estimated that it was very likely that it was herself.
She wasn't afraid; she had ways to cope and protect her loved ones, so she didn't panic.
But when I think of my family, I think of my uncle Wu Jiang. I think of that family, and I wonder how they are doing?
After much thought, Song Lili finally decided to go to her uncle's house, hoping to remind them.
Otherwise, when you know nothing, it's easy to go the wrong way or choose the wrong direction. She still didn't want anything to happen to her uncle's family.
So, she had already decided that after she brought the old people's letters back from town in a couple of days, she would go to her uncle's house to visit them.
Because she was worried about her uncle's family, Song Lili went to town the next day to see if the old folks' letter had arrived.
She was quite lucky; she arrived yesterday and picked it up today.
He tucked the letter he had written to Wu Zhongge inside before going to the house where the old people lived.
She arrived very early in the morning, and Li Zhiyuan was the only person in the courtyard.
"Grandpa Li, this is your letter. I brought it back yesterday and brought it to you," Song Lili said with a smile.
"Here it comes again?" Li Zhiyuan happily accepted it, looking all smiles.
"Yes, it seems your families are thinking of you, which is why they've been writing so frequently. That's a good thing."
