After the chaos died down, the two of them went to the state-owned restaurant.

At the same time, in a secluded alley, Du Jiaming was running forward with his bag in hand. The sound of his hurried footsteps was infinitely amplified in the alley.

After a while, the sound of more rapid and tight footsteps sounded behind him, and someone shouted, "Stop, stop right there..."

Du Jiaming was already exhausted. He had never risked his life like this in his two lives. But he knew that he could not be caught by the people behind him. His reputation in the Red Star Brigade was already bad enough. If he was caught by the patrol team, the brigade cadres would have to go and take him away. Not to mention that he would not be able to explain to the brigade leader, it would probably be difficult for him to come to the black market again in the future.

After turning another corner, Du Jiaming really didn't have the strength to run anymore.

He had encountered patrol teams many times while going to the black market during this period, but this was the first time he had encountered two people as desperate as the one behind him. It seemed like they would not give up until they caught him.

There are residents on both sides. It is working hours now and every door is closed.

Du Jiaming gritted his teeth, looked behind him, and climbed over the not-so-high wall of a nearby house.

The yard was quiet and there seemed to be no one there. He squatted at the foot of the wall, staring at the movements outside the wall, listening to the hurried footsteps running past, and after a long while, the footsteps came back.

He knew that the patrol team had not found the person and should look elsewhere, but he was afraid that they would launch a surprise attack, so he still did not dare to move.

Sitting under the courtyard wall, I took a deep breath to rest while listening to the noise outside.

I didn't hear any noise outside, but there seemed to be a different sound coming from inside the house.

"You damned bastard... Be gentle, you've almost broken my bones. You're a heartless bastard, how long has it been since you last had sex..."

"It's been a long time since I last came to see you, and it's been a long time since I last ate meat. So, am I treating you well? I'm saving these grains to feed you..."

"Don't try to fool me with that. Has anyone in your family been willing to be a widow for such a long time? You've saved so little food for me, and you really think I'm some ignorant little girl who can be fooled with sweet words..."

"This little bit of food isn't enough, so I'll give you some more. I'm going to make sure you're well fed today. Tell me, who's better, me or your guy? I heard he's going on a business trip to Hai City. Can I stay home tonight?"

"That won't do. If you come again at night, what if someone sees me? I'll be unable to live as a human being..."

Du Jiaming cursed his bad luck inwardly and said that there was no one in the house, but he ended up running into an adulterous couple.

Just as he was about to climb over the wall to get out, the door rang and it was too late for Du Jiaming to climb over the wall.

"Who are you? Why are you in my house?"

The man was not tall, wore glasses, and carried a briefcase. He looked at Du Jiaming with sharp eyes.

Du Jiaming wanted to explain, but he didn't know where to start. The man had already called out to the woman in the room, "Qiumei, Qiumei, what's going on?"

The woman called Qiumei came out of the house crying, "Lao Zhang, you're back! I was mending shoe soles in the house when someone suddenly showed up. Before I could react, he tried to touch me. Luckily, Xiao Wang arrived in time. If it weren't for Xiao Wang, I wouldn't be able to see you..."

Xiao Wang, who was standing next to Qiumei, also spoke up. "Director Zhang, you must trust Sister Qiumei. She's been wronged today. Luckily, I happened to be passing by and heard Sister Qiumei's cry for help. Otherwise, the consequences would be disastrous. I was discussing with Sister Qiumei in the house how to deal with this little hooligan. Director Zhang, you're back."

Du Jiaming on the side couldn't help but twitch his lips.

The woman called Qiu Mei was in her 40s. Although she had never done farm work and her skin was still fair, her fat was twice as big as his. How blind was he to have such thoughts about touching such a person?

And his adulterer, he was speaking with confidence at this moment.

Du Jiaming believed that as long as Director Zhang was not blind, he would know that these two people were lying.

As it turned out, Director Zhang was really blind.

After hearing what his wife and subordinates said, Director Zhang's eyes were wide open with anger, and he wanted to kill Du Jiaming.

"What's there to discuss? Let's beat up this little hooligan first. Xiao Wang, hold him down! He dares to come to my house and harass my wife. Let's beat him until he's half paralyzed, then take him to the police station and charge him with hooliganism."

This is much more serious than being caught by the patrol team.

Du Jiaming rushed towards the open door without thinking.

Director Zhang was not paying attention and was pushed by him, causing him to stagger. Fortunately, Xiao Wang caught him in time.

"Don't worry about me, go catch the gangsters."

…………

Lu Xiao and Jiang Wanwan ate and drank their fill at the state-owned restaurant before riding their bikes home.

Just as he walked onto a small road, a figure rushed out from the alley. If Lu Xiao had not braked in time, he would have hit that person.

The man awkwardly held onto the handlebars and apologized repeatedly, "I'm sorry..."

She looked up and saw the man in front of her clearly. She didn't say the last word. She glanced behind her and hurriedly ran in one direction.

After a while, two people, one tall and one short, one fat and one thin, came chasing after them breathlessly. They stood on the side of the road and looked around, and finally their target was Lu Xiao and Jiang Wanwan.

"Comrade, did you see anyone running this way?"

Lu Xiao nodded and pointed them in a direction. "He ran over there. Why are you chasing him?"

"That boy dared to molest my wife in broad daylight. We must send him to the police station."

After saying that, he chased after him without stopping.

Jiang Wanwan stared at the short, plump figure, lost in thought. "Has Qiao Wenwan no longer been able to satisfy Du Jiaming? How desperate must he be to come all the way to the county town to tease someone else's wife?"

That man must be 50 years younger than him, right? If his wife were his age, she could be Du Jiaming's mother.

Has the taste become so strong?

Lu Xiao glanced back at his naughty wife and explained, "It's not that he flirted with someone else's wife. He must have been desperate to avoid the patrol and ran to someone else's house, leading to misunderstandings."

"How do you know he's hiding from the patrol? Does he also come to the black market to sell things?"

"There was egg liquid coming out of the bag he was carrying."

Jiang Wanwan felt that it was reasonable, otherwise how would Du Jiaming get the money to pay her back the 200 yuan in such a short time.

As expected of the male lead, his vision is much longer than others.

I just don't know if I can escape this disaster. Lu Xiao was not polite just now. The direction he pointed was exactly the direction he wanted to escape.

Lu Xiao rode his new bicycle back to the village, causing quite a stir in the village.

It wasn't that their return to the village made too much noise. It was the slack season for farmers, and people liked to visit each other and gossip about the neighbors. When they came back, they happened to meet Aunt Sun who was visiting.

She was a famous loudmouth in the village. In less than a day, everyone in the village knew that they bought a bicycle.
