Ma Yunfei found it hilarious; Erlv was a good-for-nothing, and expecting him to get a diploma was wishful thinking.
To suggest that Erlv become a civil servant is like a toad yawning—it's far too ambitious.
Ma Yunfei said dismissively, "Sasha, do you think Erlv can get a diploma? Does he have the ability to become a civil servant?"
“Brother Ma, I asked around and found out that diplomas can be bought. For just two thousand yuan, you can register at a university, work for three years, and get a college diploma. The problem is that Erlv doesn’t have two thousand yuan. I need to help him raise the money so he can quickly buy a diploma and get into the civil service while his uncle is still the town mayor.”
Ma Yunfei shrugged and sneered, "Sasha, is this your grand plan to transform Erlv?"
“Brother Ma, I think this is a viable path: buy a diploma, then rely on nepotism to become a civil servant. None of this requires any ability.”
Ma Yunfei sneered, "Sasha, two thousand yuan is no small sum. Be careful not to throw it into the water and not even make a sound."
"Hmph! You surnamed Ma, are you jealous of Erlv? If you're envious, you can also take this path. You're the mayor's godson now, at least you've climbed this high branch, no less than Erlv."
"I don't have such extravagant hopes. I just want to earn enough to eat and live a peaceful life."
Li Sha said unhappily, "For my plan to be realized, the first step is to raise two thousand yuan. Right now, I only have one thousand yuan, which is the reward I received for selling the information to you."
Ma Yunfei deliberately lamented, "Sasha, you're ruthless. I worked hard for two months and finally earned a thousand yuan, and you took it all away in one go, making all my efforts for nothing."
Li Sha said angrily, "You surnamed Ma, you can't make big money because you're too stupid. Let me tell you: I'm the one who let Er Lv work as an accountant at the sales station and let him cheat on the weight. Only in this way can we make more money. But you actually kicked Er Lv out of the sales station. I say: Did a donkey kick your head?"
Ma Yunfei finally understood that Erlv was like a puppet in a shadow play, manipulated by Li Sha from behind.
Ma Yunfei said unhappily, "Sasha, I do business with integrity and would never resort to underhanded tactics."
“Hey Ma, if you don’t resort to crooked methods, Erlv won’t make any money. Then, my goal of getting him a diploma can’t be achieved. To put it bluntly, you’re blocking Erlv’s path to success.”
"Li Sha, what does my stopping Er Lv from doing anything crooked have to do with you faking illness?"
"Hmph! I'm faking illness to force you to play tricks on the scale, make money as quickly as possible, and give more to Erlv so he can get his diploma sooner."
Ma Yunfei said firmly, "Sasha, you are really not a good person. Don't you know how hard those yam growers work? They are digging for food in the soil."
Ma Yunfei's purchase of yams at a price of four cents per kilogram can be considered a fair trade.
If Ma Yunfei didn't buy the yams, they would only sell for a little over three cents a pound in the local market.
In a sense, Ma Yunfei was helping these yam growers promote their products.
Li Sha sneered, "Everyone looks out for themselves. I'm not a leader, why should I care about those yam growers? I'm just an ordinary citizen, I only need to think about my own life."
Ma Yunfei knew that he and Li Sha could never have a common language; even if they talked for ten thousand days and nights, they would never reach a consensus.
“Sasha, I would never do anything to cheat people. This is my bottom line. If you want to fake being sick, then you can keep doing it forever.”
After Ma Yunfei finished speaking, he walked out of the ward.
Li Sha shouted angrily, "Ma Yunfei, you wait, I'll bankrupt you, I'll make you penniless, I'll make you kneel in front of my hospital bed and beg me to get out of bed."
Ma Yunfei walked out of the health center. He looked up at the gray sky and suddenly felt very sad.
A famous economist is reborn into the body of a gambler, and in order to achieve his goal of becoming the world's richest man, he goes to great lengths and endures hardship.
Now, even a young woman is riding on his head and pooping and peeing. How is he supposed to live like this?
Ma Yunfei wandered aimlessly through the streets until he reached the west end of the town.
Today happens to be market day, and many people are selling things here.
Ma Yunfei saw an old man carrying a bamboo basket, squatting by the roadside selling eels.
Suddenly, an idea flashed into his mind.
"Grandpa, I want to buy an eel, the longest and thickest one."
The old man picked an eel out of his bamboo basket and said, "I'll sell it to you for five cents."
Ma Yunfei gave him one yuan.
He put the eel into his pants pocket, then reached into the pocket and squeezed the eel tightly.
Ma Yunfei returned to the health center.
He ran into Erlv at the entrance of the health center.
Ma Yunfei deliberately asked, "Erlv, did you leave Li Sha alone at the hospital last night and go home to sleep?"
"Boss, don't even mention it. Last night, a woman suddenly showed up, saying that someone had hired her to take care of Sasha. This woman was incredibly rude and actually kicked me out. At first, I refused to leave, and she even tried to hit me."
Ma Yunfei chuckled and said, "Erlv, if you stay up all night taking care of Shasha at the health center, you probably won't be able to handle it. Since that woman kicked you out, it's a good thing."
Erlv stuck out his tongue and said, "Boss is right. I can't stay up late. Last time I delivered yams, I didn't sleep all night, and it made me feel listless for three days."
The two entered ward number 3.
Li Sha said unhappily, "Er Lv, why did you come empty-handed?"
Erlv asked, puzzled, "The shops on the street haven't opened yet. I'll go buy you some fruit when they do."
"Erlv, I haven't had breakfast yet."
Erlv suddenly realized and quickly said, "Then wait for me, I'll go buy it for you right away."
Erlu ran off, all excited.
He had just stepped out when Li Sha's father arrived.
"Daughter, are you alright?"
"Dad, what's good? Last night, my tailbone hurt all night. It looks like I'm definitely going to be paralyzed."
“Daughter, take your time to recover. Even if you become paralyzed, it’s okay. Xiao Ma has already written a promise that he will marry you and take care of you for the rest of his life.”
Old Master Li glanced at Ma Yunfei and asked, "Were you the one taking care of him here last night?"
Ma Yunfei replied, "I hired a woman to take care of Sasha."
Grandpa Li nodded in satisfaction and said, "That's more like it. Little Ma, you must serve Sasha diligently, otherwise, I won't forgive you."
"Don't worry."
A little while later, Erlv brought breakfast.
