Meanwhile, Song Lili went home in a good mood.
I've finally released all the pent-up frustration I've been holding in these past few days, and it's also resolved a long-standing problem.
This time, Luo Juan probably won't make any other moves, right?
Song Lili was also annoyed by Luo Juan's repeated provocations, so she decided not to just passively wait for Luo Juan to attack her. This time, she took the initiative to threaten her.
It seems to be working very well now. Judging from Luo Juan's expression just now, the people around her will be safe from now on.
At the very least, Luo Juan won't be the one to cause trouble anymore, so others won't be focusing their attention on Song Lili.
Now, only Xu Youcai remains. Once he is dealt with, Song Lili will be free of any other threats.
Song Lili wondered if she should find something to make Xu Youcai seek his own death.
After thinking about it, she decided against it. She didn't intend to spend so much effort dealing with others. As long as Xu Youcai didn't bother her, she could just pretend he didn't exist.
But is it really possible that Xu Youcai will be so obedient as to not cause trouble? Probably not.
In the afternoon, Song Lili received a message from Qian Liulin that Wang Daming was alright, but he was still very ill and needed to rest.
Therefore, Wang Dazhi took this opportunity to bring Wang Daming back to the county.
Upon hearing this news, Song Lili finally breathed a sigh of relief, feeling a weight lifted from her shoulders.
As long as everyone is alright, that's good. The physical damage can only be managed by rest and recuperation. But everything turned out well, didn't it? Nothing irreversible happened, right?
That's good enough.
Therefore, Song Lili felt even better.
However, the atmosphere in Hongqi Village was rather somber, lacking the lively and joyful atmosphere of previous years' Spring Festival celebrations, and instead filled with tension and caution.
This must be related to what happened on the first day of the Lunar New Year, right?
Song Lili knew in her heart that probably no one would bring people to conduct a large-scale search again, right? Apart from Luo Juan, no one would be that free, would they?
After this incident, the Lantern Festival passed by in a blur. Many families simply closed their doors, had a meal together, and that was it.
After the Lantern Festival, the farmers started their new year's work again, and Song Lili, who hadn't visited the elderly people in a long time, went to see them.
"Grandpa and Grandma, I've come to see you," Song Lili called out from the doorway.
Spring plowing is just around the corner, so while everyone is still relatively free, Song Lili thought she'd like to talk to them.
"Lili's here? Come in quickly, it's still quite cold outside." Zhao Qian was boiling water in the kitchen, and as soon as he saw Song Lili, he pulled her into the house.
"It's not too cold, I'm wearing thick clothes." Song Lili said as she followed Zhao Qian into the house, where Qian Xianming, Wu Zhongge, and Li Zhiyuan were sitting and talking.
"Girl, you're here? It's been quite a while since you've come." Li Zhiyuan said with a smile when he saw Song Lili.
"Hello, grandpas. I was busy during the Chinese New Year, so I didn't open," Song Lili said, touching her nose, a little embarrassed.
I don't know what I've been busy with lately, but in the end, I haven't had time and haven't been able to visit the elderly even once.
“Yes, these few days during the Spring Festival are the busiest. We’ve been busy for several days.” Qian Xianming glared at Li Zhiyuan before smiling at Song Lili.
“That’s right,” Wu Zhongge nodded in agreement.
"Alright, is there something you need today?" Zhao Qian smiled and stopped the old men, afraid that if they said anything more, Song Lili would run away in shame and indignation.
Then, she looked at Song Lili kindly and asked her with a smile.
"It's nothing, I just came to see you. I went to town a couple of days ago and saw Brother Qian, so I came to let you know."
Song Lili just felt that she hadn't seen them for a long time, so she came to visit. She only gave this reason because Zhao Qian asked.
"You went to town? How's Xiaolin? Is he alright?" Qian Xianming asked, after all, he was his own son and he was very concerned.
“Brother Qian is doing well, and his work is going smoothly. He just couldn’t come to see you, so he asked me to tell you,” Song Lili said softly.
She always treated the elderly people with great respect, and answered their questions patiently.
However, the content is mostly the same; Qian Liulin says almost the same things every time.
The last time they met was too rushed, so Qian Liulin didn't have time to talk to her at all; it was just Song Lili repeating what she had said before.
The elderly people didn't think anything was wrong. They all smiled and said, "We know this child. Let him work hard. We can take care of ourselves. Don't worry about him."
"Besides, didn't he ask you to take care of us? What's there to worry about? He's made excellent arrangements."
When they left their familiar places to come here, they were all filled with despair, if not all of them.
After being here for so long, they slowly began to see hope. Life was tough, but not unbearable, and they gradually returned to normal.
That's why I can say it like this now, almost as a joke.
“Okay, I’ll definitely tell Brother Qian next time I see him,” Song Lili replied with a smile.
"Grandma, I was in a hurry when I went to town last time, so I didn't go to the post office or check your letters. I'll go again in a few days."
During the Lunar New Year, they can't reunite with their children; they must be missing them, right? If it weren't for what happened before and what happened with Wang Daming, she might have taken it back.
However, with so many things to do, she couldn't think of so much else. She only suddenly realized this point, and she came today to explain it to them so they wouldn't worry.
“Girl, we all know it’s chaotic outside right now. If you can avoid going out, then don’t,” Qian Xianming said.
They couldn't go out on their own, otherwise they would have gone by themselves.
They knew about what had happened recently, and after their near-arrest experience, they were even less likely to go out.
Therefore, Qian Xianming knew this, understood it in his heart, and never blamed Song Lili.
“Yes, there’s no rush for our letter. You can pick it up when you go to town when you have some free time. You don’t need to make a special trip,” Zhao Qian said, patting Song Lili’s hand.
"I know, I just went to town on business and brought it back for you. But I was worried you were in a hurry, so I came to tell you today," Song Lili explained, just in case the elderly people felt embarrassed.
That's why she made a special trip to talk to them, and of course, chat with them as well.
