Chapter 515 Go with him, I agree.
Lu Yao persuaded Jing Youxiang for a few more minutes.
Jing Youxiang stopped crying and started laughing. She accepted reality and put her underwear back on before Lu Yao left.
As soon as he came out, Jing Youxiang punched the pillow repeatedly with her little fists:
"You damned Lu Yao, you stinking Lu Yao! I've been so good to you, and you still married Xiao Meizi! What's so great about Xiao Meizi? Is she as fair-skinned as me? Can she give injections? Does she have a job? Is she a city resident? Can she sing the 'Net-Pulling Drum Song'?"
Finally, after looking in the mirror and comforting myself for a while, I calmed down.
Lu Yao drove to Yuan Shumei's house.
Yuan Shumei is knitting a sweater on the kang (a heated brick bed) at home.
Girls of this era were said to have a pair of scissors on the kang (heated brick bed) and a shovel on the floor; they were capable both in the living room and the kitchen.
Almost every young woman knows how to knit.
Hearing the door open, I saw Lu Yao come in.
He was so happy that he quickly put down his sweater, got off the kang (heated brick bed), and put on his shoes to greet her.
Ever since Lu Yao barged in last time, she has made sure to dress up before getting up to avoid Lu Yao seeing her without washing her face or combing her hair.
"Lu Yao, you're here!"
"Yes, I have good news for you."
"What good news? Please have a seat, I'll get you some water."
Yuan Shumei is different from Jing Youxiang; she is more composed.
Even when her heart was racing, she remained completely calm.
Wenwendangdang poured Lu Yao a cup of hot water and brought it over before sitting down two meters away from him.
There's one at the head of the kang (heated brick bed) and one at the foot.
Lu Yao looked at her and said very solemnly:
"Shi Shouyin is dead. Little Zhao can rest in peace now."
"..."
Yuan Shumei was taken aback.
Immediately, my nose tingled with emotion.
With tears in her eyes, she said, "That's great! How did this villain die? It was you..."
"It wasn't me. I had no right to kill for revenge. But Director Mei never gave up on avenging Xiao Zhao, and in the end, he forced them to turn against each other, and was killed by the person he trusted most."
Yuan Shumei also had some feelings for Zhao Jianguo, after all, they had spent some time together.
Furthermore, Zhao Jianguo died to avenge himself.
Upon hearing that the person who killed him had received his just deserts, he wept with joy, a single tear streaming down his face.
Wipe it off quickly:
"Thank you, Lu Yao. Let's consider this matter over and not bring it up again. Actually, I still feel a little sorry for Zhao Jianguo."
"Why do you say that?"
Yuan Shumei sighed:
"Actually, the night before the accident, I planned to break up with him the next day. But... when I got into trouble, he still risked his life to help me."
Lu Yao knew why she wanted to break up. Zhao Jianguo had told him that the person Yuan Shumei truly loved was him, Lu Yao.
At this point, all we can do is offer words of comfort:
"None of that matters anymore. It's good that Xiao Zhao didn't hear you say you wanted to break up. He died for his lover, and he was a true man."
The two chatted for a while longer, because the topic they started with was a bit heavy.
Therefore, there is no reason to hug.
They all treated each other with courtesy.
Even after Yuan Hai and Fan Suzhen returned, the two were still two meters apart.
Yuan Hai greeted Lu Yao warmly as soon as he arrived.
Yuan Tianshu intended to win over Lu Yao, so he gave Yuan Hai the order. If he was even willing to use his own daughter as a pawn, how could he not be close to her?
Fan Suzhen also hurried to the kitchen to prepare dishes so that Lu Yao could have lunch there.
Just as they were busy working, a tall figure walked in.
"Is Yuan Hai back?"
The visitor asked Fan Suzhen in the kitchen.
Fan Suzhen felt a chill run down her spine upon hearing the voice and quickly straightened up:
"Father, you've come."
"Um."
Yuan Tianchu snorted and walked inside.
Fan Suzhen also whispered:
"Yuan Hai is inside."
Yuan Tianchu opened the door and said impatiently:
"Da Hai, who drove the command post car outside the gate...?"
Seeing Lu Yao at a glance was somewhat unexpected:
"Xiao Lu, you're here too?"
Yuan Hai quickly got up to offer him a seat and pour him water.
Yuan Tianshu sat in the chair with an air of authority.
Judging from his demeanor, the more Lu Yao looked at him, the less he seemed like a clerical worker who wielded a pen.
Upon hearing that Lu Yao had driven the command post's car, Yuan Tianshu couldn't help but praise Lu Yao for his competence.
At this time, people who can drive are extremely rare.
Even in the 1980s and 90s, many workplaces still had dedicated drivers.
In the 1970s, drivers were hard to find; it was definitely a skilled trade.
With Lu Yao present, Yuan Tianchu switched to chatting with Lu Yao directly:
"Xiao Lu, do you know that Shi Shouyin is dead?"
Lu Yao nodded: "I know, I saw him die with my own eyes."
"Is that so?"
Yuan Tianchu asked in surprise, "I heard from the police that it was an internal conflict between them, and that they were killed by their own men. Is that true?"
Lu Yao nodded and briefly told him about the capture of his subordinate Hou Yu, the subsequent prison break by Lin Dong, and his pursuit of Shi Shouyin, which led him to witness Shi Shouyin's murder.
Lu Yao gave the same statement in his statement to the police, and he wasn't afraid of others finding out.
Yuan Tianchu nodded repeatedly, touching the stubble on his face:
"What a pity, you've lost this friend, you've cut off a path for yourself."
Lu Yao smiled:
"What kind of friends are we? He just wants to recruit me to work for him."
Yuan Tianchu looked at Yuan Shumei: "You don't need to hate that bastard anymore, someone has killed him for you."
Yuan Shumei simply nodded politely without saying anything.
Yuan Tianchu turned to look at Lu Yao:
"But you and Mei Ping have a good relationship, right? Last night I talked to Deputy Director Zhao Dianchen about you. He said he didn't participate in this operation; it was Mei Ping who worked with your militia on the case, and you played a leading role?"
"I'm just assisting Director Mei; what leading role can I possibly play?"
Yuan Tianchu laughed and said, "Hmm, it's rare to see someone so young yet so humble and polite. I'll have a drink with you later."
But Lu Yao didn't want to drink with him anymore:
"No, Mr. Yuan, I drove here to buy a hunting rifle, so I won't drink. I'll leave now."
He stood up as he spoke.
Yuan Tianchu also stood up: "Yes, you said you wanted to go hunting last time. The sea..."
Yuan Hai quickly stood up next to Yuan Tianshu, and the factory director looked more and more like a servant.
"Dad, what's wrong?"
"If you have any money, give Xiao Lu another five hundred. Xiao Lu wants to buy a hunting rifle, but he might not have enough money."
Yuan Hai's face twitched twice, and he nodded, saying, "Okay, Dad, I only have five hundred."
He beckoned Fan Suzhen in, opened the locked box, and took out a metal box containing malted milk powder.
He opened it and pulled out some 10,000-yuan notes and some five-yuan notes from steelworkers.
Lu Yao kept saying no, he'd said enough, but Yuan Tianshu grabbed him and wouldn't let him go.
They insisted on giving it to him.
Lu Yao tested the strength of this finger, and it was no less than that of Wang Tieshan, who had practiced Iron Palm.
Unable to refuse such hospitality, Lu Yao accepted the five hundred for the time being, promising to return it to him in a few days.
At this moment, Yuan Shumei put her clothes on:
"Dad, Mom, I want to go back to Jiapigou with Lu Yao to visit. I miss Xiao Meizi."
Before Yuan Hai could speak, Yuan Tianchu chuckled:
"Go ahead, it's fine, go with him, I agree. Spend more time with Xiao Lu and learn some skills, that young man is a rare talent!"
