It turned out to be an account book, filled with Arabic numerals.
What excited Song Lili most was not this, but that it was an account book of Hongqi Village.
The document contains detailed records of the work points of each brigade in Hongqi Village over the past year, as well as the grain that should be distributed, receipts, and so on.
This is what she asked Zhang Qinghua and the others to find, but it just inexplicably appeared in her house.
It's like finding a needle in a haystack, only to have it come to you effortlessly.
I can't believe I got it so easily.
Song Lili excitedly grabbed Song Fang's hand, "Where did you find it? Take me to see it."
She could hardly believe that Qin Hongxia had left it here; shouldn't it have been delivered by Zhang Qinghua?
Song Fang looked at Song Lili with some confusion, wondering what she was so happy about, but she still took Song Lili's hand and led her to the place where she had found the notebook.
Right at the base of the wall, where the yard was uneven, there was a small pit. The notebook had a brown cover, so it was really hard to spot.
I don't know how Song Fang found out.
However, this really helped a lot and put a huge weight off Song Lili's mind.
With this, we can find incriminating evidence against Xu Youcai.
Song Lili didn't even bother to do laundry. As soon as she entered the house, she went to look at the account books, starting with her own.
She doesn't know about other people's things, and even if there are problems, she can't see them. It's best to look at her own.
She knows her family well; she can tell at a glance if there's a problem.
Upon closer inspection, the problem became clear: the work points for the second half of last year had been reduced by almost half.
In particular, the work points for digging potatoes, and even carrying potatoes, all counted as one work point. Song Lili recorded all of them as one work point.
However, when the potatoes were distributed last year, they were all divided in half, meaning that Xu Youcai concealed half of them.
Seeing this, Song Lili understood perfectly well that there was indeed something wrong with the ledger.
This is also what she's looking for.
But why do I still feel so angry and want to spit fire inside? There's always this urge to destroy things, and I can't seem to suppress it.
Song Lili clenched her fists, making the already crumpled notebook even more crumpled, and it looked like it was about to tear in some places.
Finally, she threw down the notebook, walked quickly towards the door, and had only one thought in her mind: to find Xu Youcai and settle the score.
Her mind was so preoccupied with this thought that she didn't even notice Song Fang running behind her.
The more she thought about it, the angrier she became, and her steps became much heavier, as if she were venting her master's dissatisfaction.
Soon, they reached the irrigation ditch between the Fifth Brigade and the Fourth Brigade. Song Fang couldn't help but pull Song Lili back, looking at her with some concern.
Song Fang hasn't said a word yet, but her eyes, which seem to have been washed by spring water, are full of worry.
Under that gaze, Song Lili's anger seemed to be washed away little by little by the river.
She could only sigh and stroke Song Fang's head, "Don't worry, I'm fine. Let's go home."
After taking one last look in the direction of the Third Brigade, Song Lili took Song Fang home.
She calmed down now and realized that now was not the best time; she needed to wait for an opportunity.
Keeping it hidden is what she should do.
However, it won't be long. The most important thing has been found, and Xu Youcai won't be able to keep up his act for much longer.
She will wait, wait to see the day Xu Youcai comes to his doom.
Now that the item had been found, Song Lili planned to find a day to visit Wang Daming and ask him to do the favor.
This time, Song Lili didn't need to wait specifically, because it had been raining for several days in a row, so there was plenty of time.
The next day, Song Lili went directly to town to find Wang Daming.
Jin Xia was still sitting at the counter.
"Sister Jin, is Wang Daming there? I need to talk to him."
"Lili is here? The director just said he had to leave, but I didn't see him go out. He should still be here. Go find him."
Song Lili was a regular at the town's supply and marketing cooperative and knew the location of Wang Daming's office like the back of her hand.
After Jin Xia became familiar with her, she became much more relaxed and let Song Lili go by herself.
Song Lili didn't say much to Jin Xia; she went straight to Wang Daming's office.
Wang Daming was living a very comfortable life these days, and his wallet was bulging rapidly. He was in a good mood humming a song that Song Lili didn't know.
"Looks like you've been doing well lately, in a good mood?" Song Lili asked, leaning against the door frame.
"What brings you here? Aren't you busy lately?" Wang Daming looked up at the sound of his voice and asked in surprise.
His office door was open, so he hadn't noticed Song Lili's arrival earlier.
"I've been busy, but it's been raining these past few days, so I've been taking a break. I came to see you because I wanted to tell you that the thing I asked you to do last time can start now."
Wang Daming's expression became much more serious. "Are you sure you can bring him down in one go? What are your chances of success?"
This is not a simple thing; it is difficult to do.
Moreover, farmers are simple and honest, and they have a greater sense of respect for officials and teachers than for others.
Therefore, when encountering these two types of people, people will subconsciously back down and blindly trust them.
Song Lili was the first person Wang Daming met in Hongqi Town who dared to go against these two types of people.
Therefore, he was still somewhat worried, fearing that Song Lili's enthusiasm was just temporary.
"If your people are capable, and with the evidence I've gathered, it's 100% possible."
