Song Lili's prediction was correct; the matter quickly escalated. On the third day after the discovery of the picture album, Luo Juan suddenly stormed in with her entourage.
"Luo Juan, what are you doing?" Song Lili came out after seeing a lot of people suddenly squeeze into the courtyard.
She looked at Luo Juan, whose eyes were filled with smugness, and remained calm as she looked at Luo Juan.
"We received a report that your family is promoting feudal superstition and capitalism, so we came to check it out." As he spoke, his eyes were practically overflowing with schadenfreude.
Song Lili sneered, "Really? Your information network is really impressive! I didn't even know I had these things at home, how did you find out?"
"I really want to know, who reported it? How could she be so capable? I didn't even know anything about my family's affairs, how did she know?"
"I wonder what abilities he has that allow him to know about my family? Or is this person just lurking in the shadows, watching our house every day, trying to find some kind of leverage against us?"
Song Lili stared straight at Luo Juan, practically declaring that the person in question was Luo Juan.
The fact that Luo Juan brought people here today means that the two of them will never be able to coexist peacefully again, so Song Lili will no longer bother with those unnecessary formalities.
At this moment, of course, Luo Juan would say whatever made her uncomfortable.
"Heh, how would I know? Maybe he's done too many bad things, which is why someone couldn't stand it and came forward to report him?"
"But whatever it is, it has nothing to do with me. We just received a tip, so we came to search."
"Everyone go in and search carefully, don't miss any place." The somber tone in Luo Juan's last sentence was palpable to everyone.
Moreover, a chilling coldness appeared in her eyes, making anyone who saw her feel frozen.
But Song Lili wasn't afraid, because her family members had checked each of them before these people came in.
The search was so thorough, and even a careful inspection revealed nothing. Song Lili didn't believe these people could have discovered it; otherwise, they would have had to frame someone on the spot.
However, Song Lili would not allow such a thing to happen.
So, she glanced coldly at Luo Juan and said, "Fine, since someone reported it, then go ahead and search. Otherwise, you can say we're not cooperating with your work and that we're hindering the revolution."
"But you can't just search like that, can you? If that happens, will you be able to come and ransack my house anytime someone reports it, even without any evidence?"
"You..." Luo Juan's face turned pale with anger. What did Song Lili mean by this? Turning them over and over, did she think they were thieves?
"Hmph, all your words are useless. The more you say, the more it shows you're guilty and that you have something to hide," Luo Juan said, pointing at Song Lili.
Song Lili smiled calmly, "Where did you get the idea that I have something to hide? I just think you guys are bullying me too much."
"Or are you Red Guards here specifically to bully us proletarians, so you can do whatever you want without any scruples?"
"You... of course not. We are responding to the leader's call for the proletariat." Luo Juan quickly denied it when she saw the faces of the people around her change.
The worst thing is that everyone thinks that way, then everyone will oppose their work in the future, and even if they can criticize and denounce, they won't have that much energy.
Therefore, we must not let people think that way, and of course, we must not let Song Lili incite others.
Song Lili had been waiting for this very question. She smiled slightly and said, "Alright, what if we can't find it? How are you going to explain that to me?"
"Then can I go to the town's Revolutionary Committee to report you, saying that you are using your position for personal revenge, bullying us, and undermining socialism?"
Luo Juan wasn't the only one who could use words to intimidate people; Song Lili could too.
In her previous life, as a liberal arts student, she was quite eloquent.
"You...we only came because we received a tip, you..." Sure enough, as soon as Song Lili said this, many of the people following Luo Juan hesitated.
It's likely that only a few people know why things are like this now; the others are just accomplices who were pulled out of the fray.
Therefore, those who were unaware of the situation naturally hesitated when they heard Song Lili say this.
Those who knew the truth pointed directly at Song Lili and said, "Hmph, let's search first. Who knows if you have it at home?"
“We received a report that your home promotes feudal superstition and capitalism. So we have to search it.”
Now Song Lili had taken the initiative. "I didn't say you couldn't search. I just said what you should do if you couldn't find anything."
"Or do you actually know that my family doesn't have these things at all, which is why you're hesitant and afraid to agree?"
“I think everyone here knows that my family has been poor peasants for generations. Do you have any evidence to prove that we are feudal, superstitious, and capitalist?”
Song Lili played a trick here, subtly changing the concept.
Then, many people who came out to see what was happening echoed, "That's right, the Song family has always been in Hongqi Village."
“That’s right. We’ve been neighbors in Beijing for so many years, we know each other inside and out. The Song family has been poor farmers for eight generations, how could they possibly be capitalists?”
"Yes, are you mistaken? Or is Lili right? Are you framing her?"
Everyone was grateful to Song Lili for leading them to grow vegetables in the greenhouse, which brought more income to their families.
Although the price offered by the purchasing station is not as high as what Wang Daming offered, it is still a source of income. Most rural people are simple and honest, and they remember it.
So now, everyone can't help but come out to support Song Lili.
The people Luo Juan brought were caught in a dilemma, not knowing what to do, and could only watch Luo Juan.
These people were not from Hongqi Village. Luo Juan couldn't find any followers in the village, so she went outside to look for them.
Therefore, seeing so many people supporting Song Lili made me uneasy, and I began to doubt myself, thinking that I had really wronged Song Lili.
Subconsciously, I went to look at Luo Juan, since Luo Juan was from Hongqi Village and knew the situation there better.
This infuriated Luo Juan to the point of wanting her lungs to explode. She had brought these people here to use as weapons, and now she was being asked to handle the situation?
If she can solve it, what's the point of having these useless people?
However, the situation had to be resolved. Luo Juan could only take a deep breath, step forward, look at Song Lili, and grit her teeth, saying, "Okay, it's settled then. If you can't find anything, you can report us."
She just couldn't believe it. She had sent so many, afraid of being found, so she sent a lot at once. Did she really not have any left?
I haven't heard Zhang Laidi mention anything about anything being found in Song Lili's house recently!
