"Really?" Song Lili asked, somewhat incredulous. Was Zhang Qinghua being too naive?
Zhang Qinghua didn't have time to explain, so he hurriedly said, "We'll talk about it later, I'm going to help out first," and left.
Song Lili sat there anxiously for a long time, her mind filled with imagining how Zhang Shengtian would punish the two of them after he finished his work.
The images that flashed through her mind were all more terrifying than the last, making her shiver and want to run away in fear.
However, a last shred of reason told her that she couldn't abandon Zhang Qinghua and run away. She could run away, but she couldn't hide. In the end, she still had to face the situation.
Whether she sticks her neck out or not, she'll still get stabbed. She might as well just wait obediently. Maybe Zhang Shengtian will take pity on her and let her go because of her good attitude?
But is that even possible?
Song Lili waited alone for more than three hours before she saw the people who had gone to the graves returning in small groups, accompanied by bursts of crying.
Song Lili had no time to care who was crying; she was anxiously waiting for Zhang Shengtian's sentencing.
Zhang Shengtian and his son were among the last group to return, coming back with the Luo family.
Seeing Zhang Shengtian's guilty conscience, Song Lili wanted to turn around and run away, but she didn't dare.
She didn't even notice Luo Weijia's somewhat sinister gaze, preoccupied with how to explain herself later.
After a calm afternoon, Zhang Qinghua was completely at peace, without the slightest bit of unease.
Seeing Song Lili's cautious manner was both funny and adorable, and I couldn't help but want to protect her.
Luo Juan returned with Zhang Qinghua and the others. Luo Juan's gaze lingered on Zhang Qinghua and Song Lili for a while before she went home.
When only three people remained, Zhang Shengtian immediately put on a serious face and coldly shouted, "You two, come in with me."
This was Song Lili's first time visiting Zhang Qinghua's home, but she never expected to enter under such circumstances.
The room was sparsely furnished but neatly arranged, with mugwort, garlic, and other plants hanging on the walls, creating a strong sense of everyday life.
Zhang Qingguo was reading in the room when he saw three people come in, and he greeted Song Lili very happily.
To everyone's surprise, Zhang Shengtian said fiercely, "Get out of here, go away with Ai'ai, and don't eavesdrop."
Zhang Qingguo's smiling face immediately turned sullen; the change was so rapid that Song Lili almost laughed too.
If Zhang Shengtian's expression hadn't been so serious, she would have loved to tease Zhang Qingguo.
"Speak, what are you two planning?" Zhang Shengtian sat at the front, staring intently at the two of them.
Song Lili tried to struggle a little more, but Zhang Qinghua stopped her.
Zhang Qinghua knew his father well; if he didn't speak up this time, it wouldn't be so easy to get away with it next time his father found out.
Therefore, it's better to be honest and tell the truth.
He didn't let Song Lili speak; he recounted everything himself, from Song Lili's decision to bring down the two of them to Xu Youcai's recent affairs.
Zhang Shengtian listened quietly the whole time, without interrupting Zhang Qinghua, and did not express any opinion on what they were doing.
Only after Zhang Qinghua finished speaking did he sigh, "Hey, you kids, how can you be so bold? What if you get caught? Have you thought about the consequences?"
"Xu Youcai is alright, he's rather stupid to begin with, but Luo Weijia is different. He's a cunning fox. He's the one who schemes against people, no one can outsmart him."
"I think you should just give up. You all better stay put and don't do anything risky again, or I'll teach you a lesson."
Zhang Shengtian's last words were directed at Zhang Qinghua, since this was his own son and easier to discipline.
Song Lili couldn't say anything, she could only offer a slight reminder.
But Song Lili was extremely anxious. She absolutely couldn't give up like this, otherwise she didn't know what Luo Weijia would do next.
"No. We can't just let it go like this. Keeping Luo Weijia as the village head is a disaster; he'll ruin everyone."
Although Song Lili's statement was somewhat extreme, it's not impossible.
Luo Weijia is so petty. If he gets the chance, won't he take revenge on those who have wronged him? At that time, most of the people in Hongqi Village will be in trouble.
The first to suffer were Song Lili's family.
Therefore, no matter who tries to stop us, it won't work.
Zhang Shengtian stared at Song Lili as if he were seeing her for the first time, "Do you know what you're doing? Do you know that Luo Weijia is not Xu Youcai?"
"I know, and that's why I'm trying to bring Luo Weijia down. Otherwise, it's not just one or two people who will suffer in the future."
The negative energy of the Luo family father and son was too great, and coupled with the external environment, it only made them more and more outrageous.
Zhang Shengtian was taken aback. "Why would you say that?" He could tell that Song Lili was very serious.
Song Lili bit her lip, unsure whether to reveal what she knew. If she did, would Zhang Shengtian believe her?
Zhang Shengtian didn't get a reply from Song Lili. Seeing her struggling expression, he couldn't help but raise his voice and ask again, "Why did you say that?"
Zhang Shengtian was now certain that Song Lili seemed to know something that others didn't.
Song Lili took a deep breath and said resolutely, "There will be great changes in the coming year, and these changes will give Luo Weijia wings. At that time, no one will be able to suppress him."
“He can make anyone suffer if he wants to. There was no one in Hongqi Village who could stop him before.”
