In his previous life, Ma Yunfei was an economics expert and a bookworm. He was confused by the young widow's words.
"Sister Meng, how do I ask for help with something like this?"
The young widow looked at Ma Yunfei, sighed, and said, "Young man, you've been married before, don't you understand what your elder sister means?"
Ma Yunfei shook his head blankly.
The young widow lowered her head and thought for a while, then raised her head and said, "Young man, let me be frank, I would like to ask for your help."
Ma Yunfei finally understood, and he said in a panic, "Sister Meng, I...I'm a married man."
"Little brother, don't misunderstand. I don't mean to marry you, I just want to ask you for a favor."
Ma Yunfei grew increasingly apprehensive. The young widow had asked him for help, and if he did, he would be betraying his wife.
I can't agree to something like that.
"Sister Meng, I...I..."
"Little brother, I don't want to force you or coerce you. I just hope you'll have pity on your older sister."
The young widow's tearful eyes made Ma Yunfei's fragile heart tremble violently.
He couldn't refuse the young widow's request, but he also couldn't grant it.
What should we do?
Ma Yunfei is caught in a dilemma.
"Young man, today, fueled by alcohol, I've told you what's been hidden in my heart. You can consider it. If you don't agree, just pretend I never said it."
"Sister Meng, I... I still hope you can find a Prince Charming."
The young widow shook her head in despair and said, "That's impossible. My heart is dead, and the flower of love has withered. Besides, ever since I met Xiaodi, I've thought: only by meeting a man like Xiaodi can the flower of love bloom again."
Clearly, the young widow had fallen in love with Ma Yunfei.
Ma Yunfei couldn't understand how so many women could fall for him, a notorious gambler.
That's really strange.
"Sister Meng, I...I'll think about it..."
Ma Yunfei could only resort to delaying tactics. He couldn't agree to the young widow's request, but he also couldn't bear to refuse her.
Ma Yunfei thought to himself: Perhaps, after a while, the young widow will meet a man she likes, and then she won't ask me to help her have a child.
The young widow got drunk.
Ma Yunfei helped the young widow to bed and then left the Baixing Restaurant.
The young widow, not yet thirty, ran the restaurant alone and inevitably suffered from the bullying of some bad men.
Ma Yunfei was unable to protect the young widow, so he could only take some measures in secret.
Back then, when the town mayor was harassing the young widow, Ma Yunfei made an anonymous call to the county government and got the mayor to stop.
Erlv also wanted to make a move on the young widow, but Ma Yunfei lied and said that the young widow was the town mayor's lover, which made Erlv back down.
However, there were countless bad men in the town, and Ma Yunfei could only sigh helplessly.
The young widow was Ma Yunfei's sworn sister, and he couldn't stand by and watch his sister be bullied.
What should we do?
Ma Yunfei was physically weak and had no martial arts skills whatsoever, so he couldn't protect the young widow.
He suddenly remembered Ye Ya.
Wild Girl is skilled in martial arts, and her father is a renowned hunter with unerring accuracy.
If Ye Ya and the young widow were to become sworn sisters, then with Ye Ya as their feisty younger sister, the wild men in town would be intimidated.
Thinking of this, Ma Yunfei excitedly muttered to himself, "Damn, my brain really works."
As the saying goes: Speak of Cao Cao, and Cao Cao arrives.
Ma Yunfei ran into Ye Ya.
Wild Girl was carrying a large bag of wild animal pelts and was walking out of the town.
As soon as she saw Ma Yunfei, she excitedly called out, "Brother Ma!"
"Wild girl, where are you going?"
"It's market day today, so I came to sell these animal pelts. But none of the pelt buyers came. Maybe it's because it rained yesterday. I guess I'll have to come back at the next market day."
It was already past three o'clock in the afternoon.
"Wild Girl, it's probably too late for you to come home at this time."
“Brother Ma, I have a relative who lives in a nearby village. I’m thinking of staying at his house for two nights and then coming back to sell these hides at the next market day.”
Ma Yunfei asked, "Ye Ya, is your relative's house far from here?"
"It's not too far, only seven or eight miles."
"Wild Girl, I think you should stay in town."
Ye Ya pouted and said, "Brother Ma, you want me to stay in a hotel? I'm not going to waste my money on that. It's ten yuan a night, and I still have to eat at a restaurant."
“Wild girl, I have a good idea.”
“Brother Ma, what do you mean? Do you want me to stay at your house? Your house is three or four miles from town. Besides, your house is tiny. If I go there, I can’t possibly share a bed with you and your wife.”
"Hehe... What I mean is: you can stay at the Baixing Hotel and eat and stay for free."
Ye Ya pouted and asked, "Brother Ma, you make it sound so easy. Do you own the Baixing Restaurant?"
"Ye Ya, the Baixing Restaurant is run by my god-sister. I'll just let her know."
Ye Ya frowned and said, "Brother Ma, I know: the owner of Baixing Restaurant is a young widow. Could it be that you've gotten together with her?"
"Wild girl, what are you saying? Do you think I'm that kind of person? Do you think the young widow is that kind of person? You can scold me, but please don't scold the young widow. She's pitiful."
Ye Ya said dismissively, "I heard people at the market say that the young widow at the Baixing Restaurant is quite a womanizer, and she's even the town mayor's mistress."
"Ye Ya, don't listen to these people's nonsense. The truth is: the town mayor harassed the young widow, but she resolutely refused and complained to the county. The county magistrate reprimanded the town mayor, and from then on, the town mayor dared not harass her anymore."
Ye Ya glared at Ma Yunfei and said sternly, "Brother Ma, you're always speaking up for the little widow. It's obvious you're having an affair with her. Brother Ma, I'm warning you: you're not allowed to associate with any other woman besides Sister Yu Yan, or I'll kill you."
In Ye Ya's eyes, Ma Yunfei is the backup husband in her heart.
The problem is: Ma Yunfei has a problem in that area, and Ye Ya's father is threatening suicide to prevent Ye Ya from marrying Ma Yunfei.
Ye Ya still held onto a sliver of hope. She gathered herbs from the deep mountains and gave them to Ma Yunfei to drink, hoping to cure his impotence so that she could marry him.
Although Ma Yunfei already has a wife, Ye Ya is a wild girl who will force Ma Yunfei to divorce Chen Yuyan.
"Wild girl, why don't you believe me? If I had an affair with the young widow, I would have a guilty conscience and wouldn't have let you stay at the People's Inn."
