Mu Shaohua and the others looked at Wang Shan with complicated expressions. They knew what it was like in the cowshed and didn't want Wang Shan to experience it.
But just now, this same girl looked at them with disdain, belittling them as if they were dog poop stuck to the sole of her shoe.
However, seeing her face covered in tears, they couldn't bear to do it.
Finally, Lin Mu said, "Okay, stop apologizing. We forgive you."
"Thank you, thank you," Wang Shan said, crying, as if she had come back to life.
"Hey, you little whore, what about me? Apologize to me." Gu looked at Wang Shan smugly, waiting for her apology.
Wang Shan bit her lip; if she could, she definitely wouldn't want to apologize to the Gu family.
But she knew very well in her heart that it was impossible.
He could only endure the humiliation and went to stand before Madam Gu. With his head bowed, he whispered, "I'm sorry. I was wrong. Please forgive me."
"Young lady, you should watch your words in the future, or what if it backfires on you?"
After saying a few boastful words, Gu pretended to let it go.
Wang Shan apologized to the two people, and that was considered enough for her to be spared the cowshed punishment. She had long forgotten about Song Lili.
Song Lili didn't intend for Wang Shan to apologize. In any case, even if Wang Shan apologized, it wouldn't be sincere, so it was better to let it go.
But some people didn't think that way. Zhang Qinghua put down his pen and stood up. "You haven't apologized to my wife yet."
"Your wife?" Wang Shan was momentarily confused, but following Zhang Qinghua's gaze, she saw Song Lili.
Is Song Lili his wife?
Ask her to apologize to Song Lili? That's absolutely impossible.
If it weren't for Song Lili, she wouldn't be in this state now, and she wouldn't have to apologize to a few stinking intellectuals and a shrew.
So, all of this is because of Song Lili. It's all because of her that things have turned out this way.
Why should she apologize?
He clenched his fists forward, refusing to bow his head.
"If you don't apologize, I'll keep waiting."
Some people, having understood the meaning behind Zhang Qinghua's words, immediately turned their anger towards Wang Shan.
"What's wrong with you, girl? You did something wrong and you don't even know how to apologize?"
"Do you expect us all to wait here for your apology? Apologize now. If you've done something wrong, you should apologize."
Once this person said it, the others understood and immediately echoed him.
"That's right. We farmers all know that if we do something wrong, we should admit it. How come you, a scholar, don't know that?"
"Scholars, indeed! I think they're not even as good as us farmers. They really have no upbringing."
Many people joined in in order to receive the money and tickets faster.
Some people who already disliked Wang Shan also joined in, asking her to apologize.
The voices demanding an apology from Wang Shan had already drowned her out, making her feel humiliated and filled with resentment.
Why should she apologize to Song Lili? She did nothing wrong.
Those people are just intellectuals, they shouldn't be treated the same as them, she did nothing wrong.
They are the ones who are wrong, those people.
Wang Shan firmly believed that she had done nothing wrong, but the voices of those around her grew louder and louder, making her afraid to say she would not apologize.
However, she was unwilling to accept it and unwilling to apologize to Song Lili.
Left with no other choice, Wang Shan finally walked step by step to Song Lili's side.
Looking at Song Lili's smiling face, she felt a fire burning inside her, almost burning away her reason.
However, that nerve called reason hadn't snapped, and it made her clearly aware that she had to apologize.
If she doesn't apologize to Song Lili today, then so many people here won't let her off the hook.
The dislike he felt for Song Lili turned into hatred, which took deep root in his heart and could not be eradicated.
She stared fiercely into Song Lili's eyes. "I'm sorry, I was wrong."
Song Lili sneered, "Could you at least tone down the hatred in your eyes before apologizing? That would make it more convincing."
She never intended for Wang Shan to apologize, and with Wang Daming caught in the middle, she had no choice but to forgive him.
"It's good that you know you're wrong," Song Lili said calmly, and then fell silent.
"Is this alright?" Wang Shan asked Zhang Qinghua, her eyes red, enunciating each word clearly.
Zhang Qinghua nodded expressionlessly, "Okay."
He just wanted to vent his anger for his wife, and now that Wang Shan has apologized, that's enough.
The line continued to collect tickets and money, and Wang Shan also lowered her head and returned to her own line.
But in those covered eyes was an insatiable hatred—hatred for Song Lili, hatred for Zhang Qinghua, and even hatred for everyone in Hongqi Village.
After this incident, the place returned to quiet and order, and everyone's efficiency greatly improved.
After spending several hours distributing money and tickets to everyone, Zhang Qinghua's work was considered complete.
"Why are you here?" Only after everyone had received their money and tickets did Zhang Qinghua have time to ask Song Lili.
"I was just so bored at home that I came out to have some fun, and I never expected to run into this."
"Do you think I'm incompatible with Wang Shan according to our birth charts? Why does nothing good ever happen whenever I see her?" Song Lili said, somewhat frustrated.
"Don't talk nonsense," Zhang Qinghua hissed.
There are so many people here. If someone hears this, they might accuse us of superstition.
She couldn't help but glare at Song Lili. "Why do you blurt out everything? Don't you know we're outside?"
Song Lili chuckled, "I know, but no one else can hear me, so I told you."
She said she had already looked around beforehand, and everyone else was quite far away, so they couldn't hear what they were saying at all.
“We can’t say that, what if?” Zhang Qinghua still glared.
I wonder if they're cracking down on these things now? Why is there still no way to control the smirk around your mouth?
Song Lili chuckled to herself, finding it quite amusing to tease Zhang Qinghua.
But she also understood that Zhang Qinghua was right; they should be very careful.
If someone like Wang Shan, who harbors resentment towards her, hears this, it will be terrible.
So she obediently kept quiet.
"Are you done? Are we going back now?" Song Lili asked.
"Aren't you going to see your family? Why don't you go and talk to your grandparents?" Zhang Qinghua asked in surprise.
Song Lili shook her head. "Let's forget about it. I just checked, and my husband is doing fine."
"As for my grandparents, I'll let it go today. I'm afraid Wang Shan will keep an eye on me, and if she sees me, I'll cry my eyes out."
"I'll talk to them another day. I won't go today."
