At this moment, Luo Juan felt embarrassed and ashamed. She felt as if she had been stripped naked and thrown into a crowd, with no privacy whatsoever.
She bit her lip in shame, but remembering what Liu Tianhua had said when she arrived, she gritted her teeth and said humbly.
"We are here to apologize for our behavior in the past few days, and I apologize for our behavior today. We hope you can forgive us."
The people behind Luo Juan also bowed their heads and said in unison, "We hope you can forgive us."
Only then did everyone believe that Luo Juan and the others had really come to apologize, not to arrest anyone.
Li Weiguo breathed a sigh of relief, but also looked at Luo Juan with a complicated expression.
These are the children from the village. They've watched them grow up since they were little, so they should have been in a relationship of elders and juniors.
But now they've become irreconcilable enemies, and the apology was so distant. What could be the reason for this?
However, no matter how complicated Li Weiguo's feelings were, he didn't show it on his face, and just looked at Luo Juan calmly.
"I understand. I believe everyone has received it, but I cannot make the decision for you."
"I don't know if they will forgive you, but I heard that you have been punished, so let's just let this matter go."
"Whether I apologize or not is no longer important, just don't do it again in the future." In the end, Li Weiguo couldn't help but say, "After all, I'm from a village."
Luo Juan clenched her fists so tightly that she tasted rust in her mouth before lowering her eyes and saying in a flat voice, "Yes, I will be more careful in the future."
But was her heart truly at peace? No, it wasn't. At that moment, Luo Juan's heart was filled with raging fury.
She felt that now that she was in trouble, anyone could come and kick her while she was down, anyone could come and make sarcastic remarks.
From the same village? Oh, now I know they're from the same village?
If you really considered her a villager, then why did you treat Yuejin that way in the first place?
Why did you treat her uncle like that in the first place? Now you know you're from the same village? Why didn't you say that before?
Luo Juan felt like a fire was burning inside her, but she had to suppress it and make herself appear sincere.
Today, they were all reprimanded by the director, who also solemnly declared that they must apologize and be forgiven, or they would have to leave the Revolutionary Committee.
The leaders have said so, who dares to disobey? Or rather, who wants to leave the Revolutionary Committee?
Finally, everyone followed Luo Juan here to apologize—to apologize in a way that made them feel ashamed.
However, Song Lili and the others were unaware of this. What they did know was that Luo Juan had come to apologize for her mistake.
Many people are familiar with Luo Juan and have been very forgiving of her. After hearing his apology, their hearts softened.
"Secretary, let it go, we forgive them."
"Yes, they're all kids. They've all made mistakes. We haven't held a grudge against them."
"That's right, let's just let this go. Just be more careful in the future."
They followed Luo Juan in. The villagers of Hongqi Village, who thought Luo Juan had come to arrest people again, couldn't help but speak up when they heard Luo Juan and Li Weiguo's conversation.
Li Weiguo heard most people say this, and then nodded, "Okay, since they say they forgive you, then we forgive them."
"We accept your apology," Li Weiguo said softly.
Luo Juan breathed a sigh of relief. As long as she accepted it, that was fine. However, she just looked down on what those people were saying.
Talk is cheap; anyone can talk a good game.
As long as she's still in the Revolutionary Committee, nothing else matters.
"In that case, we'll be leaving. You all go about your business." After saying that, Luo Juan glanced meaningfully at Song Lili and the others' backs, and left without looking back.
Song Lili frowned. Was Luo Juan looking at this area just now? Could she be eyeing those elderly people?
If that's the case, then it's terrible.
They tried every possible way to bring people in, just to avoid attracting too much attention, but in the end they still failed.
Now that Luo Juan has seen it, we have to be careful.
After Luo Juan and the others had all left, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. The people of Hongqi Village also saw the elderly people in the house and asked them questions.
Li Weiguo gave a few perfunctory words and sent the man away.
When only a few people remained in the office, Li Weiguo said, "Why don't you all introduce yourselves?"
"Look, we don't know your names, and we don't know how to address you when we meet again."
To this day, no one knows the names of these elderly people, which is why Li Weiguo asked.
Several people stared at Li Weiguo with lingering fear. After a long while, someone cautiously said, "I... my name is Lin Mu."
Then, the others introduced themselves.
"My name is Huang Zhen..."
"My name is Mu Shaohua..."
"My name is Zhong Hu..."
Finally, a faint voice, the only woman among them, said, "My name is Guqin..."
Song Lili also introduced the people on her side to them, and only then did they truly get to know each other.
Song Lili looked at the person who had just handed her the jade. She had noticed that when he introduced himself, he said he was Mu Shaohua.
She looked at Mu Shaohua and asked, "Do I need to return your things to you now?" The things were still hidden in her sleeve.
Moreover, my entire forearm feels cool and comfortable right now.
Song Lili guessed in her mind. This should be a good thing.
Why did she say it was a piece? It was because Song Lili perceived it herself; it seemed to be a flat piece, but she didn't know its shape.
Just as Song Lili was about to take it out, Mu Shaohua said comfortably, "No need, you don't need to give it to me. Even if you give it to me, I can't keep it, and it might even bring trouble."
"Since you helped me just now, I'll give it to you if you're not afraid it will cause you trouble." Mu Shaohua's face was numb as he said this.
Song Lili was surprised, or rather, shocked.
Song Lili knew it was a good item without even looking at it, and she just gave it to herself like that? She just gave it away so casually?
Shouldn't this be a family heirloom or something? How can it be given away so easily? Song Lili couldn't understand it.
But seeing that Mu Shaohua had no intention of taking it back, Song Lili stopped.
"In that case, I'll keep it for you for now, and I'll give it to you later."
After thinking about it, Song Lili realized that Mu Shaohua was right. It would be more of a curse than a blessing for him to have this thing on him. It would be safer for her to keep it, since she would have a place to hide it.
