In the days that followed, many things unfolded as Song Lili had predicted, except for one thing that she found rather strange.
That is, Luo Juan has not taken any action so far. A long time has passed since Zhou Jiaming died, and she has not done anything at all.
Song Lili could only be secretly on guard. On the surface, her life was no different from before: going to the fields and going home.
That day, Wang Daming suddenly came to visit, bringing news that wasn't exactly bad.
"The supply and marketing cooperative has decided to set up purchasing stations, with dedicated personnel in charge. So, I can no longer buy the vegetables you grow; you'll have to take them to the purchasing stations."
The price offered by the purchasing station was definitely not as high as what Wang Daming offered, something Song Lili could easily foresee.
However, for Song Lili, this message felt like a timely gift when she was about to fall asleep.
The vegetables she grows now are only enough for her own family and a few elderly people. After deducting daily consumption and enough dried vegetables for winter, there's not much left to sell.
Therefore, this news is not bad news for Song Lili, but rather good news. However, it is not good news for the other families in Hongqi Village.
"I understand. That's good. I won't be sending any more vegetables over. My family only has enough for our own consumption."
Wang Daming was speechless at Song Lili's calmness, but he also felt that her behavior was normal.
"Alright, I've delivered the message to you. As for the rest, you can handle it yourself. I believe you can do it well."
"In another two or three days, others will also know the news. I just wonder how they will react then?"
Wang Daming was actually quite angry, as these dishes had brought him a lot of benefits.
Now that they've been stripped of their power, how could they not be furious? So, to be fair, there's a hint of schadenfreude in it.
Song Lili gave him a cool look and said, "The fact that something like this happened at this time is actually good for you. Keeping a low profile is the safest way right now."
Song Lili probably knew in her heart that the benefits Wang Daming had previously gained from these dishes were just too conspicuous and would attract special attention from others.
It's great as it is now!
Song Lili's words were like a wake-up call, immediately making Wang Daming realize that she was right.
This is good news for him, a great thing.
Therefore, Wang Daming, who was originally indignant, immediately beamed with joy, "Oh, Lili, I've discovered that you're simply my lucky star."
"If I hadn't come to see you today, I might still be confused and have done something else."
"Now that's great, I'll go back and respectfully hand everything over to others, and I absolutely won't get involved," Wang Daming said with some enthusiasm.
They seemed to be just waiting to watch the show.
Song Lili couldn't help but shake her head. It's not that others will necessarily get into trouble if they do it; it's just that it's safer not to do it. She didn't know what Wang Daming was so excited about.
"If there's nothing else, you can leave. I still have a lot of things to do." Song Lili gave him the hint to leave.
Wang Daming was talking too much, and it was giving her a headache.
"Lili, how could you do this? I kindly came to tell you the news, and you want to kick me out? You won't even let me stay for a meal?" Wang Daming looked pitifully at Song Lili.
Song Lili rolled her eyes. "My family doesn't have any extra food for you to eat. If you want to eat, you'll have to find a way yourself."
This guy wants her to cook, right? But Xia Niu refuses.
"No, I want to eat at your house. You can still spare some food." Wang Daming acted like a rogue.
Actually, he knew what he was doing, otherwise he would have wisely said goodbye long ago.
"Sure, but my sister-in-law is cooking. If it's not to your liking, shut up. You just need to eat," Song Lili warned.
Wang Daming looked at Song Lili with some hesitation. "Lili, is it because your sister-in-law... she's not treating you well?"
"Why are you asking so many questions? I know how to solve it. Just remember what I said."
Wang Daming nodded, "That's right. You're such a shrewd girl, there probably aren't many people who would let you suffer a loss."
"Okay, then I'll listen to you. Can we just eat without talking? It's been so long since I've talked to Uncle Song Yongren and the others."
Song Lili ignored the talkative Wang Daming, handed him over to Song Yongren, and went about her own business, ignoring Xia Niu's dark expression.
Since Song Lili had already acted this way, Wang Daming paid even less attention to her, and only focused on chatting with Song Yongren while waiting for dinner.
The meal was enjoyed in a fairly harmonious atmosphere, and nothing unpleasant happened.
After finishing the meal, without Song Lili saying anything, Wang Daming stepped forward and said, "Uncle, I have to go back now. I still have work to do."
"Alright, then I won't keep you any longer. Come visit me anytime, okay?" Song Yongren said gently.
"I know, I'll definitely come back. Just don't bother me, Uncle." Wang Daming smiled, revealing a set of white teeth.
"Of course I won't bother you. I just want the house to be more lively. It's perfect that you're here. You can also chat with Lili and the others."
Song Yongren had always been worried that, apart from his eldest son Song Jianshe, his other two children didn't have many friends.
There were only a few people he could get along with, so Song Yongren thought he would invite them to his home so they could get to know his children.
Otherwise, they wouldn't act like children anymore.
Song Lili and Song Fang had no idea what Song Yongren was thinking, especially Song Lili, who immediately objected when she heard Song Yongren say that.
"No, don't come here unless it's absolutely necessary." I'll just live a low-key life.
However, Song Yongren thought that Song Lili didn't want Wang Daming to come, and was afraid that Wang Daming would be angry, so he quickly said, "Don't listen to her, listen to your uncle, come if you want to."
"Uncle, I understand." Wang Daming looked at Song Lili and said with a happy smile. He understood why Song Lili had said that.
So he wasn't angry; instead, he felt warm.
After that came the autumn harvest. Crops ripened one after another, and the farmers got busy.
Zhang Qinghua did as Song Lili said, not giving work points to those who were always making trouble for the revolution, and just letting them cause trouble.
Thinking that they would settle accounts slowly after the autumn harvest, the atmosphere in Hongqi Village became somewhat strange.
Those who were making revolution were stirring up trouble, while those who weren't were focused on the fields, busy harvesting their crops, fearing it would rain.
The two groups of people do not interfere with each other, and there is an eerie harmony between them, as if they have found a balance and are living in peace.
