However, upon hearing Luo Juan's words, Song Jianguo took three steps back in fear, staring at Luo Juan in terror.
He thought of what Song Lili had said, and how Luo Juan would take advantage of him, and the thought came to mind involuntarily.
"I...I don't want to, I...I really don't want to. Please don't look for me, please don't look for me. I...I have something to do, I have to go now."
Song Jianguo was truly frightened by Song Lili's previous description, so now he didn't want to listen to Luo Juan's words at all.
He was convinced that Luo Juan was using him, so no matter what Luo Juan said, it wouldn't matter.
"Go find someone else, don't come looking for me!" Song Jianguo shouted as he ran, as if Luo Juan were some kind of tiger or wolf.
This made Luo Juan's face turn completely black, almost black, as she stared venomously at Song Jianguo's departing figure.
So, even that idiot Song Jianguo has become smarter now? And he's not following her anymore?
However, Song Jianguo's attitude puzzled Luo Juan. Was she really that scary?
Unable to achieve her goal, Luo Juan was furious and sullen. As she passed Song Lili's house, she peered inside with a dark expression.
Just then, Qin Hongxia returned from the fields and saw Luo Juan like this. She looked at Luo Juan, then at Song Lili's house, and seemed to understand something.
"Qin Hongxia, I didn't expect you to be doing so well now, you've even become a squad leader." When Luo Juan saw Qin Hongxia, a smile immediately appeared on her face, as if she wasn't the one who had been looking gloomy just moments before.
This made Qin Hongxia shiver. Suddenly, she felt that Luo Juan was terrifying, and she developed a resistance to Luo Juan.
So, the slight excitement from before vanished, leaving only a faint reply: "No, I'm just following along with everyone else."
Having been out there for so long, Qin Hongxia has learned to say polite things.
"Yes, we need to be together. Unity is strength. Only when we are together can we do a better job in the revolution. Hongxia, let's work together from now on."
"Huh? Let's forget it. I... you're a high school graduate, I... I won't go with you, I... I..." Qin Hongxia stammered, but her refusal was very clear.
Although Qin Hongxia's words were all flattering to Luo Juan, Luo Juan knew that Qin Hongxia was only saying these things because she didn't want to be with her.
This made her feel frustrated again, as if nothing was going right, as if she had been cursed with bad luck lately, and nothing was going smoothly.
Having just been rejected by Song Jianguo, and now being rejected by Qin Hongxia, how could Luo Juan not be angry?
Previously, these two people were always following her around, never daring to disagree with her. I never expected them to reject her now.
This made Luo Juan even more resentful. She resented Song Jianguo and Qin Hongxia for betraying her after using her, and she also resented Li Weiguo and Yang Weimin for meddling in her affairs and causing her so many obstacles.
She glared fiercely at Qin Hongxia. "Are you sure? I'm the group leader of the town's revolutionary committee now. Only by following me can we better carry out the revolution."
Qin Hongxia shook her head again. Luo Juan's gaze had really frightened her. "No...no, we...we have leaders, from the town's Revolutionary Committee."
After saying that, Qin Hongxia didn't want to stand there any longer. "Luo Juan, I have to go home and cook. I'm leaving now, or my mother will scold me when she gets back."
At that moment, Qin Hongxia suddenly felt that Zhang Laidi's bad reputation was actually a blessing in disguise, allowing her to escape a disaster.
Watching Qin Hongxia run away as if she were being chased by wolves, Luo Juan's face turned ashen with anger.
Finally, she could only glare hatefully at Song Lili's family, then at Qin Hongxia's family, before leaving in a huff.
Once Luo Juan had walked away, Song Fang stood up from the corner of her wall. She had heard the entire conversation between the two of them.
Of course, Song Fang didn't eavesdrop on purpose. She had just come back from the fields and was in a hurry to go to the toilet. She had just squatted down when she heard Luo Juan and Qin Hongxia talking.
After that, she didn't dare to stand up again halfway through, and could only stay squatting, waiting for the two to leave before standing up.
So when Song Lili got home, she heard her sister tell her about the conversation between the two of them.
After listening to Fangfang's words, Song Lili stared thoughtfully at the distance. Luo Juan was standing there recruiting soldiers.
To her surprise, Qin Hongxia was surprisingly shrewd this time, actually rejecting Luo Juan's suggestion. It was truly unexpected.
However, this is good. They didn't follow Luo Juan's nonsense and have no one under their command. Let's see how Luo Juan can still wield power.
Therefore, Song Lili's mood improved, and she was happy to hear that Luo Juan was having a bad time.
During dinner, she learned that Luo Juan had gone to see Song Jianguo, because Song Jianguo himself came over and told her.
After stammering through the whole story, Song Jianguo asked fearfully, "Do you think she might use the past to threaten me?" This was his biggest fear.
"Probably not, but I'm not sure." What wouldn't Luo Juan do?
"Then...what should we do?" Song Jianguo was terrified and panicked. His hands and feet were trembling, and he looked helplessly at Song Lili with trembling lips.
Song Lili couldn't help but roll her eyes. "Didn't I tell you? As long as you stay home and don't go out and cause trouble, I guarantee you'll be fine."
"So you can do what you did before, and Luo Juan can't find you. Even if she threatens you, it won't work," Song Lili said with certainty.
"Really?" Song Jianguo asked, somewhat incredulous yet hopeful.
"Of course, I made a promise to you, and I certainly won't go back on my word." Song Lili's expression was firm and her words were very certain.
This somewhat comforted Song Jianguo, calming his panicked heart a little. "That's great, really great."
He rushed over and grabbed Song Lili's arm. "Lili, I promise I'll listen to you. I will definitely listen to you. I won't go out. I will never go out again."
Song Jianguo was truly terrified. At this moment, he would do whatever Song Lili said, as long as he could stay safe.
“I will go to the fields, I will follow everyone to the fields, I will earn work points, I will not go out to do revolution, I will stay at home.”
"Alright, that's enough. As long as you remember what I said, I can guarantee you'll be fine. So now that everything's alright, you can go back."
Song Lili actually disliked Song Jianguo and didn't really want to see him. If Song Jianguo hadn't been in such a bad state, she would have kicked him out long ago.
Having received reassurance from Song Lili, Song Jianguo felt somewhat relieved and left following her advice.
Most importantly, he was afraid that if he didn't leave, Song Lili would abandon him, and that would be the most unbearable thing for him.
So, even though he was still a little scared, Song Jianguo managed to suppress it and left step by step.
