Farmers do physically demanding work, which is very hard, so they can easily get injured. Song Lili didn't want Song Yongren to get his leg injured again.
She would rather be careful than cause any more problems.
There's no way around it; without food coupons, you can't buy food, even if you have money.
She had to work in the fields to earn work points so that she could receive grain after the autumn harvest and earn enough food for her whole family.
Otherwise, we'd have to bother Wang Daming again, and we'd need to spend a lot of money to get grain coupons.
With her current abilities, she can't afford such luxuries, so she has to rely on herself to make a living.
May passed, and June was almost over, but Song Lili still hadn't received any news from Zhang Qinghua and the others that they had obtained the account books.
Song Lili was almost giving up. She thought that the notebook Xu Youcai was carrying might not be an account book, otherwise Zhang Qinghua and the others should have gotten some results by now.
She thought, "Why don't we try another way?"
She was already exhausted from her daily work, leaving her with little energy to plan this project, which seemed to have been shelved.
In June, it's time to weed. All the excess weeds in the field need to be removed, which requires manual labor.
Almost everyone in Hongqi Village goes there, adults and children alike, as long as they can avoid damaging the crops.
This prevented Song Lili from having any opportunity to meet other people.
What's most frustrating is that it hasn't rained recently, making it even harder to find an opportunity.
In mid-June, Yang Mei suddenly came to see Song Lili early in the morning.
"Lili, I'm here to tell you that Daqing came to see me yesterday and said they found the ledger, the one that Xu Youcai had."
Yang Mei now calls Li Qinghua "Daqing" along with Song Lili and Zhang Qinghua, and everyone is gradually getting used to it.
"Really? I thought it wasn't true, and I was even planning to find a new method. I didn't expect it to be true!" Song Lili was surprised and delighted.
Yang Mei was also very happy. "Yes, Daqing said they haven't found an opportunity yet, and Xu Youcai has been busy with something lately, he just hasn't gone swimming."
"Daqing couldn't find a chance to get close to that notebook. It was only a few days ago that Qingguo and Xu Youcai ran into it by chance and saw the notebook. Out of curiosity, they flipped through it and memorized the contents."
"After I got home, I told Qinghua about it as a funny thing, and that's how they found out."
"I see..." Song Lili pondered. It seemed that Xu Youcai valued that notebook very much.
This makes things difficult from here on out. How are we going to get our hands on that ledger?
Stealing? That seems very difficult. Xu Youcai always carries it with him, which means he never leaves it behind. The possibility of stealing it is very small.
What if we rob it?
There's a problem with robbing them: they can't do it in Hongqi Village or with people they know, otherwise, if someone sees them, Xu Youcai might guess it was them.
The possibility of finding someone else is very small, and Song Lili doesn't believe that those people would really keep quiet.
That leaves only one option: outright robbery.
Then we need to find a time when Xu Youcai is not in Hongqi Village.
Song Lili thought, if I can't steal it, I'll just rob it.
She told Yang Mei about her thoughts and asked her to pass them on to Zhang Qinghua and Daqing, as she herself simply didn't have the time.
She still has to get out of bed.
Yang Mei has time; she occasionally has days off, so having her relay the message is faster than Song Lili doing it herself.
After listening, Yang Mei only asked one question: "Lili, is this really okay?"
"If that doesn't work, then steal it."
In any case, we must find that ledger; otherwise, the chances of bringing down Xu Youcai are slim.
After Yang Mei left, Song Lili thought about it for a long time by herself, going over the whole plan in her mind before finally getting ready to leave.
This time, we'll have to rely entirely on Zhang Qinghua and his team.
Zhang Qinghua and Daqing were both shocked when they heard the news about Song Lili.
This girl is really bold, trying to rob someone openly, so unconventional!
Normally, when faced with something like this, wouldn't one try to do it secretly? Why would she think of robbing someone openly?
However, it must be said that this is a very good method, since the probability of successfully stealing is too small.
"I think this method is good, we can give it a try."
"But how would we know when Xu Youcai isn't in the village?" Daqing worried, as they also had to work in the fields every day.
“I told Ai’ai to be careful lately. She won’t be getting out of bed for the next few days, so she can help us keep an eye on things.”
