Ma Yunfei questioned, "Sasha, why are you faking illness?"
Li Sha said angrily, "I went to the yam sales station, but you ignored me, which hurt me a lot. In the end, you even pushed me to the ground. I pretended to be sick so that you would know: I'm not someone to be messed with."
Ma Yunfei said with a sneer, "Sasha, you are Erlv's girlfriend. Erlv is a jealous person. If I talk to you, Erlv will get jealous. I don't want to fall out with Erlv over a woman."
Li Sha retorted, "I have repeatedly stated that I am not Erlv's girlfriend, and we are just ordinary friends."
“Sasha, you and Erlv are seeing each other frequently. Whether you admit it or not, you two are not just ordinary friends, you are definitely dating.”
“Brother Ma, so what if I date Erlv? Does that mean I can’t date other men? Even if Erlv and I get married, we can still get a divorce.”
Ma Yunfei glanced at Li Sha and thought to himself: You fickle woman, whoever marries you will be unlucky.
"Sasha, no matter what, it's better if we just stay strangers. Besides, I'm already married and don't want to have anything to do with other women."
Li Sha raised her head, adopting an arrogant and unapproachable demeanor, and said, "Hey Ma, don't think you're so great. You're just a retired gambler who's given up gambling. Now that you're in this unprofitable yam business, you're still a penniless pauper. I'm lucky you even had to talk to me, but you think you're so great. You really don't know your place."
Li Sha never dreamed that Ma Yunfei was already a millionaire.
In 1990, millionaires were a rarity.
"Sasha, I have nothing to say to you."
Ma Yunfei turned and went into the health center, saying, "I'll go and process your discharge procedures right away."
Li Sha jogged after him, angrily saying, "You surnamed Ma, do you think I'm someone to be trifled with? Let me tell you: I went home last night and no one saw me. Now, I'm going back to my ward right away, lying on the bed, and continuing to pretend to be paralyzed. The fact that I can walk doesn't count just because you say so."
After saying that, Li Sha ran into the inpatient department and went to bed.
Ma Yunfei looked around. It was just getting light, and the doctors in the hospital hadn't started work yet. The doctor on duty was still sleeping, and there was only one nurse who was dozing off.
The clinic in the small town had very few patients.
Li Sha secretly slipped back last night, and no one saw her.
It's not enough for Ma Yunfei alone to say that Li Sha can already walk.
Oh, and that snoring lady can testify to that too.
Ma Yunfei followed closely behind into ward number 3.
Li Sha was already lying in the hospital bed when she started crying out, looking like she was in great pain.
The other hospital bed was empty; the snoring older sister-in-law was nowhere to be seen.
Ma Yunfei walked out of the ward and looked around. He wanted to find the snoring woman so she could prove that Li Sha could walk again.
To his surprise, the snoring woman came out of the toilet.
The snoring woman spotted Ma Yunfei immediately, ran over excitedly, stretched out her hand, and said, "Brother, you promised to give me another twenty yuan this morning, hurry up and give it to me."
Ma Yunfei took out twenty yuan from his pocket and handed it to the snoring woman.
The woman took the money, stuffed it into her pocket, and ran out of the health center.
Ma Yunfei called out, "Sister-in-law, wait a minute, I need to talk to you."
The older sister-in-law turned around and said, "I have to catch the long-distance bus."
Ma Yunfei was taken aback and quickly asked, "You've been discharged from the hospital?"
"Yes, I'm not going to stay in the hospital anymore. I'll go home and recuperate."
"Sister-in-law, you haven't completed the discharge procedures yet."
"Hehe... I still owe the hospital money, so I won't go through any discharge procedures."
The snoring woman ran off like a gust of wind.
Ma Yunfei shook his head and sighed, "That's good, we've lost forty yuan for nothing."
Li Sha, lying in her hospital bed, overheard Ma Yunfei and his sister-in-law's conversation. She sneered, "Brother Ma, you've really gotten the short end of the stick. After all this time, it turns out you hired his sister-in-law to take care of me. Haha... Your schemes have finally been exposed."
"What...what schemes or tricks do I have?"
"You asked your sister-in-law to take care of me, but actually, you just wanted her to snoring away so I would expose that you were faking illness. Brother Ma, you're quite cunning."
Ma Yunfei had to admit that he had hired this snoring woman.
“Sasha, I hired this woman to take care of you because I was worried about you at night. I didn’t know she snored at night.”
"Hehe... Brother Ma, don't think you're so smart and treat everyone else like fools. In fact, people like you who are self-righteous often do stupid things. Look, you just wasted forty yuan. You deserve it!"
Ma Yunfei said with annoyance, "Sasha, what exactly are you trying to achieve by faking illness? You might as well tell me frankly."
Li Sha looked at Ma Yunfei and said slowly, "Brother Ma, although you are very cold to me, I don't treat you as an outsider. Since you want to know, I will tell you frankly."
"I'm all ears."
"Brother Ma, put your hand on your heart and tell me: am I, Li Sha, considered a pretty girl in this town?"
Ma Yunfei thought to himself: She's not exactly beautiful, but she's certainly charming.
If he told the truth, he would definitely offend Li Sha, so he said against his will, "Count me in."
Li Sha sighed and said, "It's so tragic that a beautiful girl like me has ended up in this remote town, like a pearl buried in the sand. I long to marry a prince on a white horse, but in this Qinglong Town, I can't even find a white dog prince, let alone a prince on a white horse."
Ma Yunfei looked at Li Sha and thought: This woman has no self-awareness at all. A slut like her still wants to find a Prince Charming. She is truly shameless.
Li Sha continued, "My relationship with Erlv these past two years was out of sheer desperation. Erlv is at best a white rat prince. Although he's not much, he's still a prince because his uncle is the town mayor, so at least he has a powerful backer."
In his previous life, Ma Yunfei despised sycophants, but in this life, he was reborn as a gambler and had to climb the social ladder by associating with officials in order to defy fate.
Suddenly, Ma Yunfei realized that he and Li Sha were cut from the same cloth.
Li Sha clutched her chest, saying with great sorrow, "I've discovered that Er Lv is a good-for-nothing guy who will never amount to anything in his life. But if I break up with him, I won't even be able to meet a third-rate man like him again. After thinking it over, there's only one way out for me, and that is to reform Er Lv."
Ma Yunfei was somewhat surprised and asked in confusion, "How did you modify Erlv?"
“At first, I wanted him to go into business and encouraged him to become the manager of the yam sales station. However, you can’t make a lot of money in the yam business. So I came up with another plan to make Erlv a civil servant. But Erlv doesn’t have a diploma. Now, the only way is to get Erlv a diploma as soon as possible and become a civil servant.”
