Chapter Twenty-Five: He'll Take the Blame (shuhaige.net)



After saying that, he picked up the potatoes that Luo Weijia had turned over and put them into his basket, then carried it on his back and headed towards the main group...

Song Lili took a deep breath and walked towards Luo Weijia with her basket on her back, but she felt a little reluctant to see Luo Weijia.

Perhaps it was because later generations described this era as too terrifying that Song Lili always felt a sense of fear, always feeling that the people here were all monsters.

These days, she lives cautiously, as if walking on thin ice, afraid of offending some kind of evil spirits and causing even bigger problems.

The Luo family, in particular, was number one on her blacklist, a family she absolutely refused to associate with.

However, after the mill gave Qin Hongxia a small punishment that day, Song Lili suddenly understood.

People are still the same people; good and bad people exist in every era.

As long as she sets boundaries for herself and avoids anything that is currently dangerous, she will be safe.

She can do everything within this framework; there's really no need to be so cautious.

Having figured all this out, Song Lili calmed down and became much more composed and grounded than before.

It's like I was floating in the air without any direction before, but now I'm grounded.

And her heart finally settled down, like a wanderer who had finally found a home. With a place to call home, she felt safe!

However, she still felt resistant to seeing Luo Weijia, especially after that nightmare about Luo Juan.

Luo Weijia also examined Song Lili's basket very carefully, turning it over for a while but couldn't find anything wrong with it. He then waved for Song Lili to leave.

Not long after Song Lili arrived home, Song Jianshe also came home carrying a large basket of potatoes. He was somewhat surprised to see Song Lili there.

"Lili, it's you back? I thought Grandpa carried you back..."

The basket of potatoes was simply too heavy for Lili and Fangfang to carry, which is why he was surprised.

"Oh, I took the basket from Da Da. I don't carry much."

The potatoes were stored in the village warehouse, not in the villagers' homes, so Song Jianshe couldn't see them. Song Lili lied without batting an eye.

"Oh, I knew you couldn't carry it even if it was full. But don't push yourself. If you can't carry it, ask Dad or me. Kids shouldn't do heavy lifting; it's bad for their health."

"I understand..." Song Lili replied, pursing her lips.

She didn't tell her family that she was now very strong and that carrying this basket of potatoes was a piece of cake for her.

She didn't know how to explain how she had suddenly become a strongwoman!

If you keep dragging it out, it turns into concealment.

In the end, she decided it was best not to say anything...

By the time she finished her trip, it was already around 10:30. Song Lili drank a large bowl of cold boiled water, which she had left to cool down when she left in the morning.

Previously, she noticed that several members of the Song family drank unboiled water, which she felt was bad for their health. So, she would boil water every day, let it cool, and then drink it.

Song Jianshe also drank a large bowl of water before finally letting out a sigh of relief. "We'll probably eat lunch in the fields. Did you and Fangfang bring any dry rations?"

Song Jianshe and Song Yongren did not leave with the two sisters.

Because Song Jianshe and Song Yongren are counted as one work point, while the two sisters are only counted as half a work point, the two of them together are counted as one work point, so they did not set off together.

"I brought it with me. I took it with me when I left home. I'll go to the yard and see if I can find something to eat with my dry rations."

Although the grain had been distributed, people were still reluctant to eat as much as they wanted, and various wild vegetables were mixed into the flour.

In Song Lili's eyes, it was just wild vegetable pancakes, but Song Yongren and the others felt very satisfied.

Song Lili couldn't empathize with them, so she could only force herself to endure it and eat the wild vegetable pancakes with them.

Song Lili thought that she didn't have time now, but she would think about how to improve her life when the farming season was over.

She went to the yard and found that the small cucumbers she had planted had already borne fruit, but they weren't very big. The largest was about the thickness of two fingers, and the smallest was about the thickness of a chopstick.

Song Lili gritted her teeth and picked four stalks, one for each person, just right!

As soon as it was taken out, Song Jianshe became unhappy. "Lili, why did you pick it now? Isn't that a waste? It would have grown a lot more if you had waited a little longer..."

Song Lili rolled her eyes and shoved two twigs into his hand. "I've already picked them, so just eat them. They can't be put back in anyway..."

If she doesn't pick them, no one in the family will be willing to do it. They will definitely wait until they grow to their absolute maximum size before picking them, because that would be more economical!

But Song Lili didn't think so. It was precisely when she needed to exert a lot of strength that she found the dry rations too dry and choking. A little cucumber would be a good way to balance things out.
