Chapter 158 Exposing the Lies

Ma Yunfei advised, "Third brother, you need to take a shower and rest for a couple more days. Your sister-in-law and Yeya are taking care of things at the sales station."

"Boss, you've harvested quite a few yams these past two days, right? Adding to what we harvested a couple of days ago, it's probably over 100,000 jin (50,000 kg) again. I need to get them to City A as soon as possible."

"Third brother, we have indeed harvested a lot of yams these past few days. I plan to make a trip there myself tomorrow. You should rest for a couple of days first."

The abbot patted his chest and said, "Boss, I only spent two days in the dark house and did nothing. My bones are so idle that they're cracking. I've been wanting to work for a long time. If you let me rest, you're just making me suffer."

Ma Yunfei patted the abbot on the shoulder and said, "Third brother, since you don't want to rest, then go to the sales station."

The abbot patted his behind and left.

The young widow asked, "Young man, what method did you use to rescue the abbot?"

Ma Yunfei said proudly, "Sister Meng, there's nothing I can't do. I just used a little trick to get the abbot out."

"Little brother, you're really something!"

The young widow gave a thumbs-up in praise.

Ma Yunfei sighed deeply, thinking to himself: This Erlv is simply my nemesis, I'm afraid he'll pull some more tricks.

Suddenly, Li Sha walked into the Baixing Restaurant, rolled her eyes at Ma Yunfei, and said, "Brother Ma, I rescued the abbot, and you didn't even tell me the good news. You're just sitting here enjoying this delicious food by yourself."

Ma Yunfei remained seated, glancing sideways at Li Sha, and said unhappily, "Shasha, are you trying to steal the credit?"

Li Sha said angrily, "Brother Ma, I never thought you were such a heartless person. I rescued the abbot, and you not only don't appreciate it, but you also make sarcastic remarks."

“Sasha, let me be frank with you, Erlv lied to you.”

"What did you say? Say it again."

“Sasa, Erlu is making a fool of you. On the surface, he said he forgave Erlu, but in reality, he went to the town health center and got a fake injury certificate, lying that the abbot broke two of his ribs, trying to make the injury seem more serious, as if Erlu was in jail.”

"Brother Ma, aren't you just making baseless accusations? You've described Erlv in such a bad light, I don't believe it."

“Sasha, the abbot has just been released. Erlv probably doesn’t know this news yet. Why don’t you go to the No. 1 shop in the world and lie to Erlv, saying that the abbot was just arrested by the county public security bureau, and then question him: Why didn’t you forgive the abbot? Then ask him: What happened to the two broken ribs? I believe that as long as you ask these two questions, Erlv will definitely have no answer.”

Li Sha stormed off to the No. 1 Shop in the World.

Erlv had just finished breakfast and was opening the roller shutter when he saw Li Sha arrive. He asked ingratiatingly, "Shasha, have you had breakfast yet? If not, I'll go buy you some right away."

Li Sha, her face full of anger, asked coldly, "Er Lv, I heard that the abbot was just taken away by the county public security bureau and is going to be sentenced. What's going on?"

"Ah! The abbot has been taken away by the county public security bureau? Hehe... I didn't expect him to be arrested so quickly. Sasha, although the abbot helped you, it was just a small favor, nothing much. Think about it, that outsider only teased you with words, how could he dare to lay a hand on you, absolutely not. Strictly speaking, the abbot only said a few words for you, it's not a great favor, and you don't need to help him."

"Erlv, let me ask you: the other day when we went to my aunt's house together, you asked my aunt to go to the police station and ask them to release the abbot. Was that just an act in front of me?"

"Hehe... Sasha, to be honest, the abbot beat me up, which made my aunt very angry. Even if I forgive the abbot, my aunt won't forgive me. After all, my aunt is an elder, and I can't persuade her to change her mind."

After hearing Erlv's words, Li Sha finally understood that Ma Yunfei was right; Erlv was just placating her and had not forgiven the abbot.

Li Sha asked coldly, "Erlu, I heard that two of your ribs were broken. Are you trying to frame the abbot?"

Erlu touched his chest and denied it, saying, "I didn't frame the abbot. He punched me in the chest twice and broke two of my ribs. My chest still hurts now."

Li Sha grabbed Er Lv by the collar and said, "Since your ribs are broken and your injuries are so serious, you need to go to the county hospital for proper treatment. If you need to be hospitalized, you should be. Come on, I'll take you to the county hospital."

Erlu struggled to say, "Sasha, the doctor said I broke my ribs and need to rest at home. I can't run around. Besides, it's not a serious illness. The health center in our Qinglong Town can diagnose and treat it. There's no need to go to the county hospital."

“Erlv, if you don’t tell the truth, you’ll have to go to the county hospital. I order you: come with me to the county. There’s a long-distance bus in half an hour.”

Erlu had no choice but to admit, "Sasha, to tell you the truth, the abbot didn't break my ribs, but I want to make the injury more serious so that the abbot can sentence me."

Li Sha said angrily, "Er Lv, you are really ruthless. You actually wanted to frame the abbot and harm him. You two are sworn brothers. It's heartbreaking that you are so cruel to your brother."

"Sasha, why are you protecting the abbot? That guy is a troublemaker and a fool. He deserves to spend a few years in jail!"

Li Sha finally saw through Er Lv's true colors. Ma Yunfei was right; Er Lv was only superficially obedient to her, but in reality, he didn't take her seriously at all.

Li Sha's heart sank completely. It turned out that she had been hoping that Er Lv could buy a college diploma and get into the civil service.

Li Sha said, word by word, "Er Lv, listen to me clearly. From this moment on, we are completely cut off. We can't even be ordinary friends anymore."

After Li Sha finished speaking, she turned and left.

Erlu chased after her, pleading, "Sasha, you're actually going to cut ties with me for that scoundrel Abbot? This...this is just too much of a waste."

“Erlu, I’m not cutting ties with you because of the abbot, but because you deceived me.”

“Sasha, ever since I met you, I have always obeyed you and acted like a slave in front of you. But this time, I really can’t forgive the abbot. He beat me so badly that I lost five teeth in one go. Tell me, how could a grown man like me be insulted like this? I really can’t swallow this insult.”

Li Sha said angrily, "Er Lv, I've always looked down on you and never intended to be your girlfriend. Now that I've seen your ugly side, there's no way we can salvage our relationship."
