Chapter 293 Who exactly ruined me?
Chapter 293 Who exactly ruined me?
Lu Yao was both angry and amused.
This girl is like a stubborn plaster; once it's on, you can't peel it off.
"Promise me you'll keep Shumei's whereabouts a secret, and then I might consider being friends with you. Otherwise, we won't even be friends."
"Then kiss me, show some sincerity, otherwise I'll go back and tell everyone that Yuan Shumei ran off with you."
"Hold!"
"Come on, who's afraid?"
"..."
Lu Yao was truly speechless at this little madman.
Looking back, Yuan Shumei wasn't looking this way.
"Pop"
He quickly kissed Jing Youxiang's chubby little face:
"Alright, you'd better keep your word!"
"Um!"
Jing Youxiang nodded vigorously:
"I promise I'll keep it a secret, but you have to keep your word."
"We'll talk about this later."
Lu Yao dared not agree to her rashly.
Otherwise, she could have chased after her own family.
Push the cart and let Yuan Shumei get on the bus.
Jing Youxiang was still calling from behind:
"You're not allowed to date her, and you're not allowed to let her live in your house. I'll be checking up on you later."
Lu Yao ignored her.
As long as she promises not to talk nonsense, that's fine.
I know that although Jing Youxiang is a bit crazy, she's not stupid.
She should be able to help keep such a big deal a secret.
After walking a short distance, Lu Yao lifted his leg and passed it over the beam, then pushed off hard and sat down on the bicycle seat.
They started riding.
Yuan Shumei has a rib injury and cannot ride too bumpy, so she rides very slowly.
Yuan Shumei put her hand on Lu Yao's waist.
We left the city and got onto the country road.
Lu Yao then noticed that Yuan Shumei wasn't wearing gloves.
"Your hands must be cold. Here, take one of my gloves. I can ride with just one handlebar."
"No, I can't hold on with just one hand. I'm fine."
Actually, it was so cold that I kept breathing on it to warm it up after bringing it back.
Lu Yao lifted his shirt: "If you tuck your hands inside my clothes, they won't be cold."
I learned this trick from Liu Shuangyan.
Yuan Shumei hesitated for a moment, but still put her hand inside.
The hand, even through the sweater, sent a chill down Lu Yaobing's spine.
But after walking a little further, her hands got warm.
Yuan Shumei watched Lu Yao from behind, her heart filled with mixed emotions.
Her feelings for Lu Yao deepened day by day. However, she felt that she shouldn't have such thoughts because Zhao Jianguo had died for her. She felt sorry for Xiao Zhao.
The thought of Zhao Jianguo, with whom she had spent over a year, being beaten to death while seeking revenge for her, filled her with sorrow.
With Jing Youxiang's warning, I should probably give up.
No matter how good this young man is, he doesn't belong to me.
Thinking of this, he pulled his hand out and placed it outside Lu Yao's cotton coat.
Lu Yao rode his bike all the way, thinking about his future plans.
Who would have thought what she was thinking behind him?
I didn't even go to Shuiling Commune when I passed by; I went straight home.
Lu Yao made up his mind when he was almost home.
Where should Yuan Shumei go?
Huang Yuejuan's clinic?
Not really suitable.
It was, after all, a public place.
People came and went.
What if Shi Shouyin sends people to investigate everywhere?
If Yuan Hai sees that Shumei has left, he might think of me.
It might be easily discovered.
Ding Dahu's house?
To keep Xiao Meizi company?
I'm afraid Xiao Meizi will overthink things and think I'm having some kind of affair with Yuan Shumei again.
otherwise……
Lu Yao remembered a place.
He rode his bicycle directly to the door of the widow Xilian's house.
As soon as I knocked on the door, Aunt Xilian came out to open it.
"Hey, Company Commander Lu, what's with all the free time? Did you solve a case?"
"What case are you solving?"
Xilian said, "It's the case where I was blindfolded and assaulted! Shouldn't these bad guys be arrested?"
"what!"
Lu Yao remembered.
Xilian did indeed report to me that she had been humiliated by someone who covered her head with a sweater and pinned her to the edge of the kang (a heated brick bed).
But that person is yourself, why are you grabbing at him?
Lu Yao was angry that night because happy Lian relayed a message, so he took his anger out on her.
Seeing that she still genuinely believed he was going to help her solve the case, he couldn't help but laugh:
"This case will be solved slowly, I'll find you someone to keep you company first."
As he spoke, he suddenly stepped forward, revealing Yuan Shumei behind him.
"This is a friend of mine; he's a little injured. Could you please take care of him?"
He then took out ten yuan:
"Take this money."
Xilian's eyes lit up when she saw the ten-yuan note.
Only then did he notice Yuan Shumei behind Lu Yao.
"My goodness, this girl is so beautiful! Hey country bumpkin, is this your girlfriend?"
"It's my friend. He had a little argument with his family, so he's staying here for a few days."
"Alright, alright, I just happen to be looking for company these days, come in quickly."
Xilian quickly ushered them into the house.
Lu Yao followed her in, pulled Xilian aside, and instructed her, "Aunt Xilian, I let her stay because I trust you. Don't spread rumors, understand?"
"Look at you, what are you saying! I'm not that kind of person!"
Lu Yao said seriously, "You told Xie Chunfang that I was having an affair with Huang Yuejuan. Is that true?"
Xilian's face flushed red instantly.
"I never said that, I swear to God!"
Lu Yao reached out and patted her shoulder: "It's okay if I told you, I didn't tell you. But this time you can't tell anyone. If anyone sees you, just say Shumei is your cousin visiting, understand? If you tell anyone, I'll expose you for stealing grain from the brigade twice and have you paraded through the streets!"
Lu Yao has found Xilian's weakness.
Upon hearing this, Xilian was so frightened that she quickly looked around:
"No, no, no, I'm very discreet. I'll treat your friend like a younger sister."
Lu Yao turned back and comforted Yuan Shumei:
"The conditions are a bit worse than in your city, but make do for a few days. Your dad will definitely regress in the first year."
Yuan Shumei's actions were also out of desperation.
I am currently injured and have difficulty moving around.
There was no other way but to compromise.
If I don't hide out, I'm really afraid my dad will bring Shi Shouyin to me.
After giving his instructions, Lu Yao left Xilian's house.
The reason they chose her house was because the villagers were somewhat afraid of Zhang Mazi, and they were even less likely to come to his house after he died.
They even walked around his doorway.
It is said that ghosts who die violently possess malevolent energy.
This way, Yuan Shumei can feel more at ease here.
With the Lunar New Year approaching, Yuan Hai couldn't bear to let his daughter spend the holiday away from home.
I'll just talk to him about it and ask him to come and take my daughter back.
He left, and Xilian quickly made up the quilt for Yuan Shumei to lie down.
As I lay on the edge of the kang (a heated brick bed) spreading out the quilt, I suddenly remembered the feeling of being pinned down here that night and having my underpants pulled down.
Although the report was given to Lu Yao, the person was still not caught.
Looking back, I realized it wasn't a big deal. The person didn't actually hit me; it was just a way of venting.
She was prepared to stop locking the door from now on, so that if he came again, she would definitely check who it was.
If he's presentable enough, let him come if he wants.
By the way, Tuwazi just said he stole grain twice, but he only caught me once.
Which other time was he referring to?
The person who held me down from behind was about the same height as Tuwazi.
That force, that fierce strength... Could that person be a country bumpkin?
Just thinking about it makes my whole body feel hot!
