Ma Yunfei replied cheerfully, "That young woman has already been discharged from the hospital."
"Wow! She's been discharged from the hospital so quickly? Li Sha can walk again?"
“She wasn’t sick at all; she was just pretending. Last night, I let a snoring woman sleep in her hospital room, which kept her from sleeping. She ran home in the middle of the night. This morning, I ran into her, and she actually cheated on me by going back to bed. She even said smugly, ‘If you can’t provide any corroborating evidence, I can continue to pretend to be sick.’”
"Honey, why...why is Sasha discharged from the hospital again?"
“I bought an eel at the market and secretly slipped it under her pillow when the doctor made rounds. The eel crawled out and scared Sasha so much that she jumped off the bed and ran out of the ward. She was so agile, haha... The doctor was stunned.”
Chen Yuyan laughed and said, "Honey, you have so many clever ideas. I never noticed this before. You've changed so much lately, it's like you're a completely different person."
Ma Yunfei said smugly, "Wife, from now on, one surprising thing after another will happen to you."
The abbot also ran over and asked with concern, "Boss, is that bitch still pretending to be dead?"
"Hehe... She's come back to life and went home with her father."
The abbot said indignantly, "Eldest brother, if I had been there when I went to pick up your wife that day, she wouldn't have dared to bother you."
Looking at the warehouse piled high with yams, Ma Yunfei asked, "Wife, how many kilograms did you collect in total?"
"We have 150,000 jin (75 tons) of this. We need to get it to the city to sell it as soon as possible. I don't feel at ease if it's just sitting in the warehouse."
Ma Yunfei said, "Tomorrow, the abbot and I will go to City A again to sell all of this batch of yams."
Ma Yunfei immediately went to the transport team and requested four trucks.
He went to the post office again and called Xia Tian from Jiufa Company, telling her, "Tomorrow, I'm going to deliver 150,000 catties of yams. Wait for me at the company, don't be late."
Xia Tian excitedly said, "Brother Ma, I have some good news for you. Yam prices have suddenly skyrocketed these past two days, rising by another two cents. I'll buy this batch of yams you delivered for one dollar and forty cents."
Ma Yunfei was so excited he could jump for joy. At this price, he could make a net profit of one yuan per kilogram, so 150,000 kilograms would mean a net profit of 150,000 yuan.
He returned to the sales station excitedly and said to the abbot, "You should quickly ride my motorcycle to each village and tell them to hurry up and deliver the yams. Tell them that starting tomorrow, our sales station will buy them at 45 cents per pound for a week."
The abbot asked worriedly, "Boss, has another competitor appeared?"
"yes."
Ma Yunfei didn't tell the abbot the truth; there are some things that can't be said to outsiders, and that's what's known as a trade secret.
Ma Yunfei hummed a little tune as he went to the Baixing Restaurant.
The young widow frowned and complained unhappily, "Little brother, you haven't come for several days. Have you forgotten about your older sister?"
"Hehe... Sister Meng, how could I forget you? Haven't you heard that I've been pestered by Li Sha these past two days?"
The young widow asked in bewilderment, "Just an hour ago, I saw Li Sha and her father walking excitedly past the entrance of my restaurant."
“Yesterday, Li Sha came to the sales station to bother me. I pushed her and she fell. So she pretended to have broken her leg and stayed in the hospital bed. This morning, I threw an eel on her bed, which startled her. She jumped up and her faking illness was exposed, so she had to be discharged.”
The young widow warned, "Young man, I think you're too popular with women; that's dangerous."
"Hehe... I think it's great. Being popular with women isn't a bad thing. Look, I have you as my good older sister, and I also have this feisty younger sister, Wild Girl from Dragon King Mountain. I feel very comfortable."
The young widow glanced at Ma Yunfei and said cryptically, "Young man, you're going to be in trouble."
As the two were talking, suddenly, Li Sha's father ran over.
“Xiao Ma, I went to the sales station to look for you, but I didn’t see you. I guess you must have gone to a restaurant to drink.”
"Uncle, I'm not addicted to alcohol."
"Little Ma, my guess was right. You scared my daughter out of her hospital bed with an eel. You must be very proud of yourself and will probably drink a couple of ounces of liquor to celebrate."
"Uncle, your daughter ran home to sleep last night. You must know she was faking illness."
"Hehe... I knew it all along. My daughter should have faked being sick. If I hadn't scared you a little, you would have continued to lay hands on her."
"Uncle, you've wronged me. I didn't lay a hand on your daughter. She hugged me, and I just instinctively nudged her."
Grandpa Li said, "Xiao Ma, no matter what, you made my daughter fall on her bottom. That was wrong of you. My daughter is the apple of my eye. How can I let you bully her? I came to you to settle this score."
Startled, Ma Yunfei jumped to the side and glanced at Old Master Li's hands. He saw that Old Master Li wasn't carrying any weapons.
"Little Ma, don't be afraid. I'm going to settle accounts with you now, not with force, but with reason."
Ma Yunfei asked, puzzled, "What is 'literary arithmetic'?"
"Little Ma, you're a smart man, don't you understand? A martial arts plan means beating you up, while a literary plan means you have to buy me a drink."
Ma Yunfei readily agreed, saying cheerfully, "Uncle, no problem."
The young widow thought that Old Master Li had come to settle scores with Ma Yunfei, and had already signaled to her two servants to come and break up the fight.
I was relieved to hear that Grandpa Li was going to study arithmetic.
"Sir, please have a seat. I'll cook you some of our restaurant's signature dishes."
The young widow went into the kitchen excitedly.
Old Master Li sat down, his face grim, and said, "Little Ma, I've come here today for two reasons: first, to settle accounts with you, and second, to discuss something with you."
"Uncle, regarding the account, I'll treat you to Wuliangye right away. This debt should be settled then."
“Little Ma, I heard that you were abandoned in the woods by the village right after you were born, which means you don’t even know your father’s surname or given name.”
"yes."
"Then you don't have the problem of carrying on the family line. Although your surname is Ma, you are not a direct descendant of the Ma family, so there is no need for you to carry on the Ma family line."
Ma Yunfei understood immediately: Old Master Li wanted him to become a live-in son-in-law.
Ma Yunfei found it both funny and infuriating. He was already married and had an adopted daughter, yet Old Master Li was still stubbornly pursuing him.
“Xiao Ma, I didn’t sleep a wink last night. As dawn was breaking, I finally figured it out. I’ve decided to make you my live-in son-in-law.”
"Uncle, you want me to be a live-in son-in-law so that I can continue the Li family line."
