Time flies, and it's already June in the lunar calendar. Farmers are starting to prepare for the autumn harvest.
The weather this year has been quite favorable; there was no hail, no scorching sun, and no continuous rain, so everyone can expect a good harvest today.
Therefore, everyone's face was beaming with joy, and the good mood could be felt throughout the village.
Of course, there was also a downside: the criticism and struggle sessions against Xu Youcai were held every week, and each one was more extreme than the last.
To Song Lili's surprise, Xu Youcai had actually survived and was still alive. She couldn't help but sigh, "It's true that evil lives on for a thousand years."
It survived all that torment; it's practically as tough as a cockroach.
Just as the wheat was ripening and ready for harvest, Luo Juan gathered the villagers together once again. This time, no one cared about offending Luo Juan.
If the crops in the fields aren't harvested in time, everyone will die. Who cares about offending Luo Juan?
So everyone pointed and whispered about Luo Juan, saying, "Why is this Luo family's daughter like this?"
"What have you been doing all these years in the countryside? Don't you know this is a busy time? What are you doing causing trouble?"
"That's right, this child is so insensible." Many people pointed and whispered about Luo Juan.
Song Lili stood below, sneering at Luo Juan. "Looking for death? Doesn't she know the people of Hongqi Village already dislike her a lot?"
Luo Juan knew this too, so she didn't waste any words. She simply told someone to quickly bring Xu Youcai away, while she stood on the high platform in the square.
“I know you are unwilling, but this is an order from above, and I have no choice but to carry it out. You can only cooperate.”
"I know you're all busy. Let's all be understanding. It should be resolved in half an hour at the fastest."
Without wasting words, Luo Juan immediately calmed down the people below.
After about half an hour, the crowd gradually quieted down and waited for Xu Youcai's arrival.
Although everyone quieted down, they were still very angry. Luo Juan had no choice but to hate Luo Weijia.
Look at the kind of daughter you gave birth to! She doesn't understand anything and only knows how to cause trouble. She'll be finished sooner or later.
However, no matter how much everyone cursed in their hearts, they maintained a peaceful facade.
Soon, the person who was sent to bring Xu Youcai arrived, but only one person came; Xu Youcai was nowhere to be seen.
"Where is he?" Luo Juan asked with a dark expression, feeling a burning sensation on her face as if she had been slapped.
She had just said she would resolve the issue as soon as possible, but unexpectedly, problems arose so quickly that she was proven wrong.
"Team leader, Xu Youcai suddenly couldn't breathe, and then... he died," the person said in a low voice.
"What did you say?" Luo Juan asked in surprise.
"Xu Youcai died suddenly on the way here. We don't know whether to bring him or not, so I came to ask you."
"Dead?" Luo Juan said through gritted teeth, feeling no relief at Xu Youcai's death, but rather even more furious.
Xu Youcai is dead! He died at this time! It's truly hateful.
Sure enough, even in death, he'll still cause her trouble. He really got off easy before.
Luo Juan stormed out, and the others had no idea what was going on. The crowd erupted in chaos.
"What's wrong with this now?"
"I think Luo Juan is just fooling us. Who knows when this will end?"
Some people with bad tempers went straight into a fight with Luo Weijia.
"Hey Luo Weijia, how do you usually raise your daughter? Didn't you tell her to keep her word?"
"Exactly, you're all grown up, don't you know it's the busy farming season right now? Why are you doing all this?"
"Exactly, can these crops harvest themselves? Can they even feed you? They must have nothing better to do."
"Absolutely. Luckily, I didn't let my child come along, otherwise what if they were corrupted?"
"Now that you mention it, I'll have to be more careful and keep my child away from them. What if they get led astray?"
The people around him were making comments, which made Luo Weijia's face grow increasingly ugly, and he felt extremely resentful.
These people are just snobs; they only dare to say such things because they see he's no longer the village head.
If it were when he was the director, who would dare to say such a thing, who would dare to talk about his daughter to his face?
A bunch of ungrateful bastards.
Xu Youcai thought bitterly to himself, while Luo Juan was also so angry that she wanted to kill someone.
Why did Xu Youcai have to die at such a bad time?
Now that she has gathered people together, he is dead. What is she supposed to do?
While feeling resentful, Luo Juan was also trying to figure out what to do next.
She completely ignored Xu Youcai's body, which was lying on the road, and just walked back and forth, her mind constantly racing.
Suddenly, she stopped in her tracks. "Didn't Hongqi Village send a few people for re-education a while ago?"
After thinking for a while, someone nearby said, "It seems there is such a thing, but not many people talk about it, so no one pays attention."
"Alright, you guys go quickly and arrest those people. Tell them we're going to find someone else to criticize."
Then, Luo Juan glanced at Xu Youcai and kicked him in disgust, saying, "Get rid of him quickly."
When her subordinates finally agreed and went about their business, Luo Juan's face turned completely gloomy.
Luo Juan felt that Hongqi Village might really be her nemesis, otherwise why would every time she came here it was a bad thing?
After making the arrangements, Luo Juan returned to the square. Seeing that the crowd was becoming restless, she quickly said, "Everyone, don't worry, the person is coming soon."
"Hmph, who are you trying to fool?"
"Hurry up and let us go back. We still have a ton of work to do. We don't have time to waste on your nonsense."
"that is……"
However, the villagers didn't buy it at all, thinking that Luo Juan was lying to them, and very few people believed her.
Song Lili watched as if it were a play, and when she saw the shadows and ruthlessness flash in Luo Juan's eyes, she smiled knowingly.
Yes, Luo Juan was unhappy, and that made her feel better. Yes, that's it.
Soon, the person Luo Juan sent out returned. Upon seeing the person who had arrived, Song Lili's relaxed demeanor vanished.
She stared intently at the group of people who were bound hand and foot, her face so dark it could drip water.
Luo Juan, it's you again! Why do you always have to pick on me? Time and time again, haven't you learned your lesson yet?
Song Lili's gaze followed those people and shifted to the high platform, right next to Luo Juan.
Song Lili then stared coldly at Luo Juan, a cruel smile suddenly appearing on her lips.
So, is Luo Juan using a feigned attack on one hand while secretly plotting another? Is she openly criticizing Xu Youcai, but in reality, are these people her targets?
