It's not too late to return it to Mu Shaohua after everything has passed, since he is currently in constant danger of being arrested and criticized.
Therefore, Song Lili solemnly told Mu Shaohua, "You can ask me for it again after everything is over. I'll keep it for you now."
After saying that, he took the item out of his sleeve, and only then could he see that it was a round jade pendant with dragon patterns on it, giving it a grand and majestic feel.
Moreover, Song Lili felt that this jade pendant looked very much like the kind that only people in the imperial palace could wear, which she had seen in TV dramas before, which made Song Lili quite shocked.
However, she didn't say anything, just glanced at it briefly, then stuffed it into her pocket and ignored it.
Song Lili's behavior surprised the five people who had just arrived. They all knew the value of the jade pendant, yet this girl remained so calm.
The five people didn't really believe it, but that's what they saw with their own eyes.
Finally, they came up with a particularly plausible reason: Song Lili might not have known the value of the jade pendant.
This is a girl who has lived in the countryside for many years. She has not seen much of the world or many good things, so it is normal that she does not know.
Thinking about it this way, they calmed down and realized that this was probably the truth.
“Since I’ve already made up my mind, I’ll leave first and go home with you.” Song Lili said.
Now is not the best time for her to appear in public.
“Okay, I’ll keep an eye on them, don’t worry,” Zhang Qinghua nodded and said to Song Lili.
Daqing didn't miss the opportunity either, saying, "Don't worry, we have plenty of people here, we'll definitely make it look beautiful for you."
If Qian Liulin hadn't asked Song Lili, Daqing wouldn't have said that; he would have just done it.
However, since Song Lili is now in charge of the people, it wouldn't hurt to inform her.
Li Weiguo also said, "Don't worry, I'll keep an eye on things."
"Of course I trust Uncle, then I'll be going." Song Lili flattered him at the opportune moment before leaving.
Once outside, Song Lili realized she hadn't reminded Zhang Qinghua to bring some food to the elderly, but she decided against it.
Zhang Qinghua definitely remembers it; she doesn't need to say it again.
When Song Lili got home, Song Yongren and the others were waiting for her. As soon as Song Lili entered, Song Yongren rushed over to her, somewhat obsequiously, "Lili, you're back?"
"Yes," Song Lili nodded, but she was a little puzzled. What was wrong with Song Yongren? Why did he have such an expression?
"Is something the matter? If so, just tell us and we'll help you. We're family." Song Yongren's eyes lit up as he looked at Song Lili.
"It's nothing." Song Lili didn't want Song Yongren to know that she had taken over the work of a few more people, for fear that he would worry if he found out.
Song Yongren was extremely worried about the previous few people. After the last incident, he was paranoid for a long time, so Song Lili did not intend to say anything this time.
"No..." Song Yongren said dejectedly, then continued to follow Song Lili.
"Boss, is something wrong?" Song Lili looked at Song Yongren helplessly. What's wrong? If you have something to say, just say it. Why are you following me?
"It's nothing," Song Yongren shook his head.
"..." Song Lili stared at Song Yongren for a while, but couldn't figure it out. Before Song Yongren could speak, she could only turn around and leave.
It's probably about the Gu family. The two of them had a falling out last time, so it's hard to say this time, which is why they're so hesitant.
She has other things to do right now, so I'll ask her about it after I finish those things.
Therefore, the thick-skinned Song Lili mistook Song Yongren's flattery for indecisiveness, unaware of what Song Yongren would think if he knew.
Song Lili was worried that Zhao Qian and the others would be concerned, so she made a final trip to tell them about the arrangements for them.
"Sigh... We used to be friends, but I never expected it to turn out like this," Zhao Qian said with a sigh.
"Girl, how are they doing?" Li Zhiyuan asked in a somber tone.
"Not very well, my health is poor, I need to take good care of myself." Song Lili spoke the truth without hiding anything.
"Sigh... take good care of him? Is that even possible? He still needs to work in the fields, there's no way he can be kept alive," Qian Xianming said.
"What's the point of talking about raising them now? It's good enough that they're alive. We can only hope they're strong and get through this difficult time," Wu Zhongge said irritably.
Given the current situation, it's good enough if it doesn't get worse; don't even think about anything else.
Song Lili was also feeling heavy-hearted, and in the end, she could only offer comfort to a few people.
"Qinghua will help keep an eye on things, and the Party Secretary will also help. As long as it's not too obvious, they should be able to slow things down."
Keeping them alive is unrealistic; we can only take a short break and catch our breath.
"Sigh...this is the only way. Lili, visit them more often and help them out."
"It's not suitable for the few of us to go, so we can only ask you to go and look after them." A hint of sadness flashed in Zhao Qian's eyes.
Song Lili nodded, "Grandma Zhao, I know. Don't worry, I'll make time to visit you often."
"Don't worry about them in the village, no one will make things too difficult for them."
From what happened to Zhao Qian and the others, Song Lili also realized that the people of Hongqi Village are quite tolerant and do not criticize others.
As long as they do what they can, even if they don't do it well, few people will say anything.
Therefore, Mu Shaohua and the others must be in the same situation.
After leaving Zhao Qian and the others, Song Lili thought for a moment, went to her private plot, picked some fresh vegetables, put them in a basket, and then went to the brigade.
She wouldn't feel at ease unless she watched over it herself, and even though she knew Zhang Qinghua would make the arrangements, she would still keep thinking about it.
In the end, she decided to go and see for herself, just to put her mind at ease.
When she arrived at the first brigade, she didn't see anyone she recognized, so Song Lili went directly to the houses that had been built specifically for these people.
Before Zhao Qian and his team arrived last year, each brigade had built houses, so it's quite convenient to arrange people now.
From a great distance, Song Lili could see a large crowd gathered around, making it impossible to see what was happening inside the courtyard.
Song Lili didn't go in directly. Instead, she stood at the back of the crowd, looked around for a while, and then asked, "Are the people who came today arranged to be here?"
People from the village have come; everyone probably already knows that, which is why Song Lili asked that question.
"Yes, it was delivered by the Party Secretary himself, but their situation is really not good."
"Not only did he look slovenly, but he also seemed to be in poor health, as if he had been through a lot."
