Chapter 597 The Female Director of the Drama Troupe
The lights in the room went out.
Song Zhe thought Yu Lu had really given in, so he unbuckled his belt as well.
"Hmph, the wife I married is the horse I bought, I can ride her and beat her as I please! If you dare to resist again, see if I don't beat you up!"
Just then, someone knocked on the gate outside the courtyard:
"Hello, is anyone home? Open the door."
"Bang bang bang"
The sound of banging on the door was loud.
Song Zhe wondered, since the two were arguing quietly and wouldn't disturb the neighbors, who would knock on the door?
I had no choice but to pull up my pants and turn on the light.
He came out of the house and opened the wooden gate to the yard:
A burly man stood outside, reeking of alcohol.
"Comrade, my pigeons have run onto your roof. I'm going in to scare them away."
Song Zhe was so angry that he was about to close the door:
"Where did these pigeons come from? Get out of here!"
The big man stretched his foot forward and blocked the door.
"I'll just give you a couple of shouts, I don't need to come to your house..."
As the two were arguing, Yu Lu packed her things and ran out of the house.
She squeezed past Song Zhe.
"Song Zhe, just wait and see what happens. I'll talk to my brother-in-law!"
After speaking, he ran away.
Song Zhe quickly reached out and grabbed:
"You come back here right now."
But he was stopped by the burly man who was looking for the pigeons:
"What are you doing, buddy? How can a grown man bully his wife like that?"
"Get out of my way..."
Song Zhe tried to push the big man away, but the big man pulled him back into the courtyard and he couldn't get out.
Angered, he cursed, but the big man just grinned and wouldn't let go.
It took Song Zhe quite a while to push her out of the yard.
It was clear that Yu Lu had already turned the corner.
……
Lu Yao's jeep was parked on the side of the road, with the heater on, making it warm and cozy inside.
A tall, slender figure walked over, backlit by the moonlight.
It was Yu Lu, coming out of her house.
He was wearing a wool coat.
He was carrying a military-style satchel.
In this era, no one in the country carries a designer handbag; having a new military-style backpack is already quite remarkable.
If a man is carrying a bag made of imitation leather, he must be a leader in some organization.
Yu Lu reached the jeep, looked back to see if anyone was following her, opened the door and got in.
I glanced at Lu Yao, who was leisurely reclining in his chair:
"Xiao Lu, I did as you said. Do you think he'll go to Li Yinping?"
She knew that the burly man who had knocked on the door earlier was no accident.
It was Lu Yao who arranged for Sun Dabiao to wait outside the door for rescue.
If Yu Lu provokes Song Zhe, he definitely won't let Yu Lu leave, so he'll turn off the lights as a signal.
They brought Yu Lu out to meet them.
Lu Yao smiled slightly:
"They're bullying you because they know you're too proud to speak up. If you tell your brother-in-law, he'll definitely go to Li Yinping to discuss what to do."
No sooner had he finished speaking than a bicycle rode out of the alley.
They chased after Yu Lu for a while, then turned back.
They passed by the jeep on their way back without even glancing inside.
He never imagined that his wife was sitting in the car watching him.
Song Zhe did not go home; instead, he headed south.
Yu Lu knew that this was the direction the troupe was heading.
Li Yinping's home was near the county theater troupe.
Sun Dabiao also came out at this time, riding a 28-inch bicycle, following Song Zhe at a distance.
Lu Yao started his car and followed.
Song Zhe pedaled hard all the way and arrived at the residential area of the Education, Culture and Health Bureau.
At that time, the Bureau of Culture, Education and Health was an agency that combined the Bureau of Education, the Bureau of Culture and the Bureau of Health into one.
During this special period of institutional restructuring, culture, education, and health were merged into one bureau, usually named "County Revolutionary Committee Culture, Education and Health Bureau".
Internally, it is further divided into cultural, educational, and health groups to manage specific affairs.
It not only oversees cultural departments such as theater troupes and cultural centers, but also jointly oversees education bureaus, as well as hospitals, health and epidemic prevention stations, maternal and child health stations, and commune health centers.
Therefore, many families live in this combined residential unit, where good books and stories accompany them every day. The area has become a whole neighborhood.
There must be at least several hundred households.
The neighborhood has numerous alleyways and a complex geography.
There were no cars coming and going, so it was very narrow.
Unable to follow in his car, Lu Yao got out.
"Let's go, we'll walk there."
Yu Lu followed Lu Yao with trepidation.
Suddenly, she felt a warmth on her hand as Lu Yao grabbed her.
Lu Yao did not turn around and continued walking quickly. It seemed that he was afraid that she would fall behind, so he was holding her hand. He did not mean her any disrespect.
Yu Lu did not break free, letting him hold her hand.
It's been so long since I've been held hands by a man while walking...
Song Zhe leaned his bicycle against the wall, looked around, and saw that there was no one in the alley.
He walked to the gate of a house, stopped, and lowered his voice:
"Woof woof, woof woof."
He started barking like a dog.
It's also very realistic.
He called twice, but there was no response. He called twice more, this time louder.
The gate to the courtyard opened a crack, revealing half a face.
Li Yinping was in her early teens, with delicate features, curly hair, and a sweater. She glanced outside and opened the door.
"Come in, come in quickly."
Song Zhe asked doubtfully, "Me going in? Is that okay? Isn't your brother-in-law here?"
"I'm on night shift tonight. My son went to a classmate's house to play and won't be back for a while, so come on in. What a nerve you have!"
Li Yinping looked at his handsome face and deliberately thrust her chest forward to greet him.
I love watching Song Zhe's slightly shy and cautious demeanor.
The courtyard wasn't large, and Song Zhe entered the house in just a few steps.
The room was warm, and the stove was burning brightly.
Li Yinping locked the door and turned to look at him.
"Why are you here at this hour?"
Song Zhe stood in the middle of the ground, unsure of what to do with his hands:
"She... Yu Lu ran away."
Li Yinping frowned:
"Speak plainly, did they run away? Where did they go?"
"She went to her sister's house." Song Zhe recounted what had happened, his voice growing softer as he spoke. "She said she was going to tell her brother-in-law about us..."
After hearing this, Li Yinping snorted:
"Whether she has substantial evidence or not, even if her brother-in-law works for the armed forces, this isn't his jurisdiction. Making a scene wouldn't be good for their family either. What can they do to you?"
Song Zhe sighed, "I'm a little scared."
Li Yinping sat on the edge of the kang (a heated brick bed), lit a cigarette, and took a puff:
"Didn't I tell you before that if you appease her, everything will be fine? But you insisted on going against her. Do you think I don't know her? She's so proud she'd rather suffer than admit it. Would she dare tell anyone? If she did, her whole family would be disgraced."
Song Zhe stood with his head down, listening to Li Yinping's reprimand.
"Go to her sister's house tomorrow to pick her up, say a few kind words, and apologize."
Li Yinping flicked her cigarette ash, speaking in a commanding tone:
"If she doesn't come back, go there a few more times and wait at the door. She's concerned about her image and doesn't want the neighbors to laugh at her, so she'll have to go back with you sooner or later."
Song Zhe nodded: "Alright then, I just came to ask you for instructions... I'll be going now."
He had just turned around when Li Yinping stubbed out her cigarette.
"Where are you going? Old Gui is on duty tonight and won't be back. The kid went to a classmate's house for dinner and might not be back for a while."
Song Zhe stopped, but didn't turn around.
He knew in his heart what Li Yinping meant by those words.
"Come here," Li Yinping said, taking off her sweater.
Song Zhe turned around, forcing a smile:
"Yinping, it's too late today, I..."
"Late? What's late?"
Li Yinping stood up, walked over to him, and reached out to unbutton his cotton-padded coat:
"I'm really into it. My husband's been eating like a noodle all day long, and I don't even get to eat anything."
Song Zhe asked her to unbutton two buttons, but he didn't do it himself.
Li Yinping reached in and touched his chest muscles, then moved her hand up to touch his face:
"Why are you sweating so much? Let her go, it's fine."
She pulled him toward the edge of the kang (a heated brick bed).
Song Zhe followed and sat down on the edge of the kang (a heated brick bed).
Li Yinping began to help him take off his clothes:
"Take everything off, you'll get hot when you start exercising."
