Song Lili was harassed by Xu Youcai several times in the village, but each time it was just a verbal argument, which annoyed Song Lili to no end.
Apart from that, there were no other major moves, and Luo Juan didn't make any moves either, which puzzled Song Lili.
Did Luo Juan really just let out such an idiot as Xu Youcai?
But this knife is too dull; all it does these days is argue.
If that's the case, why would she kill Xu Youcai out of impatience?
It wasn't until one night when Song Jianshe rushed into Song Lili's room with his things that she realized she had been too naive.
Looking at the tattered book in Song Jianshe's hand, a storm brewed in Song Lili's eyes. "Where did this come from?"
“This was given to your sister-in-law by someone else. She felt that she didn’t have any paper to start a fire at home, so she brought it back.” Song Jianshe’s heart was pounding.
If he hadn't lifted the mat on the kang (a heated brick bed) to look for something today, he probably wouldn't have found this book.
The thought that if someone came and saw this book, the whole family would be in trouble made Song Jianshe's descendants break out in a cold sweat and their hearts trembled.
His hands trembled so much he could barely hold the book, his lips quivered, and his voice trembled as he said, "Lili, this..."
He wanted to know what to do; this thing in the house was practically a time bomb.
At the same time, he was also relieved that he suddenly wanted to smoke today, and then he remembered the cigarette that Wang Daming had given him when he came last time, which he had reluctantly put in the crack of the mat.
When he went to look for it again today, he couldn't find it in the crack. He had to lift the mat to look for it, and unexpectedly found the book there.
"I'll go ask my sister-in-law." Song Lili got up, put on her coat and shoes, and then took the book from Song Jianshe's hand and flipped it open.
Very good, this is definitely a book that is not allowed now.
The book contains many paintings, seemingly copies of good sayings by others. This... is exactly what needs to be broken down now.
If this is found in a search, then it's a typical example of destroying the Four Olds.
Moreover, it's reasonable that this item was found in the Song family, since all the children in the Song family had gone to school, so even if it was found during the search, no one would find it strange.
But who on earth could have come up with such a vicious method?
It's estimated that only Song Yongren and Xia Niu in the Song family are illiterate, so they are the least wary of each other. Even if they see this book, they won't think there's anything wrong with it.
Having gained experience as a brigade leader, Song Yongren wouldn't be so foolish as to fall for a trick, so in the end, Xia Niu would probably be the only suitable candidate.
A rural woman who has never been to school and cannot read a single character will definitely take it home because she is greedy for cheap prices.
The people behind this were incredibly shrewd; if Song Jianshe hadn't discovered it tonight, their scheme would probably have succeeded.
Song Lili arrived at Song Jianshe and his wife's room with a cold expression. Xia Niu was still sitting on the edge of the kang (a heated brick bed) looking like she hadn't reacted yet.
"Sister-in-law, where did you get this?" Song Lili asked in a gloomy tone.
"I...I brought this back to start a fire! What's wrong?" Xia Niu still looked confused.
When she returned to her room tonight and was about to go to sleep, she saw Song Jianshe lifting the mat and looking for something. Before she could ask him what he was looking for, Song Jianshe ran out like a gust of wind.
A moment later, Song Lili walked in with a gloomy expression.
Upon seeing Song Lili's expression, Xia Niu's heart skipped a beat, and she hurriedly tried to recall what she had done recently to upset Song Lili.
After thinking it over, he couldn't think of anything that could make Song Lili show such a gloomy expression, so he looked at Song Lili somewhat timidly.
When Song Lili asked about the waste paper she had brought back a few days ago, he answered very quietly.
"I'm asking you who gave it to you?" Song Lili's face darkened again, but her tone towards Xia Niu remained relatively calm.
Xia Niu forced herself to think for a moment, calmed herself down, and then said, "This was given to me by Aunt Hongxia. She said not to mess with her. Is there... a problem?"
Even if Xia Niu was naive, she realized that there was probably something wrong, otherwise Song Lili wouldn't have shown that kind of expression.
Based on past experience, if Song Lili was dissatisfied with her, she would have already sneered and confronted her. The fact that she is treating her well now means that it wasn't Song Lili who angered her.
Combining this with Song Lili's actions just now, Xia Niu also figured it out.
“Zhang Laidi?” Song Lili asked.
"Yes, she said that others gave her too many, and she had nowhere to put them, so she asked me to take some home to start a fire."
"I figured we didn't have any newspapers left at home to start a fire, so I brought them back." After saying that, he shrugged again.
Because, no matter what, she's the one who brought this back. If there's really a problem, then she...
"I understand." Song Lili let out a sigh of relief, then asked, "Besides this, is there anything else?"
Regardless of whose responsibility it is, these things must be dealt with now to prevent any unforeseen complications.
"They're all...all under the jars in the kitchen. I just thought they looked nice, so I put them under the mat." I plan to look at them when I have nothing else to do.
Because the painting was so beautiful, she couldn't resist taking it inside.
"Find them all, then burn them, don't leave a single one." Song Lili took the lead and went straight to the kitchen.
If it really was a setup, then all the "waste paper" that was taken back is probably problematic and must be eliminated.
We can't let anyone find even the slightest evidence to drag her and her family into that chaotic battlefield.
To confirm, Song Lili called out Song Yongren and Song Fang and asked them to think if they had seen any other books like this elsewhere.
Finally, with the whole family working together, they actually found the fish that had slipped through the net—it was found in the pigsty where they used to raise pigs.
It was because it was the Song family's turn to cut grass for the livestock. Song Jianshe was quite capable, so Song Yongren put the grass in the pigsty and happened to see it.
Otherwise, even if you burn everything at the bottom of the jar, it won't help.
After burning all the books they found, everyone seemed to breathe a sigh of relief. Everyone was covered in cold sweat, and even their faces were covered in cold sweat from fright.
Song Lili told them everything without holding anything back, including what the consequences would be if these things were found.
Xia Niu was so frightened that her legs went weak and she fell to the ground, her body trembling.
Song Lili ignored Xia Niu, but she should have taught her a lesson, otherwise she might continue to be careless and fall into the same trap again.
Therefore, this lesson must be one that she remembers deeply and never forgets.
Finally, Song Lili was still worried, so she had her whole family work overtime to search the house again, inside and out. They were relieved to find nothing.
