Chapter Ninety-Six: Deciding to Cooperate



“I’ve heard people say before that the Lü family dotes on their daughters, and that Lü Qiaosheng is extremely fond of his niece.”

"So, he really would do something like this for Lü Xiaolan?"

"Girls are treasures?" Song Lili asked in surprise.

How can one not be surprised? In a place and era where patriarchal ideas are still deeply ingrained, it's astonishing that some people still treat girls like treasures.

Song Lili wanted to say that this family was truly farsighted.

Even Song Yongren only didn't discriminate against girls, yet someone else did it even better? Song Lili was utterly curious.

So, is what Lü Qiaosheng said true?

Zhang Qinghua had been listening the whole time, and only now did he slowly speak, "Since he wants to cooperate, then let's cooperate."

Song Lili looked at Zhang Qinghua in surprise, "You believe Lü Qiaosheng?"

Zhang Qinghua shook his head. "I don't believe him, but that doesn't affect our cooperation with him to bring Luo Weijia down."

"But..." What if Lü Qiaosheng...

Zhang Qinghua said, "You're overthinking it and being too cautious. Since Lü Qiaosheng wants to cooperate, let's have him face off against Luo Weijia first."

Song Lili was taken aback, but immediately understood Zhang Qinghua's meaning: "You mean, let Lü Qiaosheng openly confront Luo Weijia?"

In this way, regardless of whether Lü Qiaosheng was genuinely cooperating or not, he had now come face to face with Luo Weijia, and it was impossible for him to cooperate with Luo Weijia.

“That’s a good idea, we can do it.” Zhang Shengtian agreed with Zhang Qinghua’s suggestion, and he also had a secret weapon he hadn’t revealed yet.

So even if all of these fail, there are still opportunities.

All three agreed to cooperate with Lü Qiaosheng.

Zhang Qinghua said, "Don't have any more contact with Lü Qiaosheng. Since he already knows that it was the two of us together, I'll go find him."

Zhang Qinghua never intended to reveal all his cards, which made Lü Qiaosheng think that it was just him and Song Lili who wanted to bring down Luo Weijia.

Song Lili nodded, knowing that Zhang Qinghua was thinking of her.

First, it's not good for a man and a woman to be alone together if others see them, even though she's only fifteen and Lü Qiaosheng is over twenty.

Secondly, she didn't want Lü Qiaosheng and Luo Weijia to clash in the future, which would make Luo Weijia suspect her and target her.

It's also possible that by following the clues, they could all be dragged out.

Therefore, it was most appropriate for Zhang Qinghua to step forward.

Two boys together wouldn't attract much attention, and besides, Zhang Qinghua is so smart. He wouldn't let anyone see them.

When Song Lili arrived, she was filled with anxiety, fearing that the plan could no longer be implemented.

When I left, I felt refreshed and invigorated. The air was fresh, the sky was blue, and everything felt wonderful.

She's just waiting for news.

The three days of the Lunar New Year were uneventful, just like last year, and even the people who came to pay their respects were exactly the same.

After a dull and uneventful New Year, the restless farmers are about to get busy again.

As time went by, Song Lili's heartstrings gradually tightened.

As that time drew closer, she became increasingly nervous.

Putting all that aside, just after the New Year, Wang Daming actually bought a bicycle and started coming over for meals every day.

Looking at the old bicycle, Song Lili couldn't help but circle it three times. "Wow, Wang Daming, what a nouveau riche! You've even bought a bicycle."

This bicycle is not cheap; in the eyes of farmers, it is an astronomical price.

Unexpectedly, Wang Daming rode it around the city so blatantly.

Song Lili still wanted to live a life of geological surveying in the future, so she kindly reminded her, "I advise you to keep a low profile."

"I've lived like this for the first twenty years of my life, and I really don't know how to write the word 'low-key' or how to do it."

Song Lili kicked Wang Daming angrily, "Don't you know I still want to live a peaceful life? You're not allowed to ride it to my house anymore."

Otherwise, once the incident comes to light, Wang Daming will be seen as blatantly siding with capitalists, and he'll be severely criticized.

Most importantly, she will also be implicated, and that's the key point.

Before many people have seen this bicycle, it's best to hide it quickly.

Wang Daming couldn't understand why Song Lili was reacting so strongly, but he couldn't persuade her otherwise and had to compromise in the end.

He reluctantly chose the latter option over being forbidden from coming over in the future or walking over to freeload a meal.

There was no other way; he couldn't cook, and the food outside was too monotonous, which he was tired of. For the sake of food, he had no choice but to agree to Song Lili's request.

Song Lili was relieved now, and hoped that Wang Daming's future would be better.
