Ma Yunfei feigned helplessness, spread his hands, and said, "Sasha, you've seen it too. The four of us are working ourselves to the bone, but we're not making much money. If we can earn two thousand yuan in two months, we'll be lucky."
Li Sha stamped her foot and said, "You want me to wait two months? How am I supposed to wait?"
“Sasha, you’re a smart person. Just make up any excuse. For example, you can tell Erlv that the spots for this year are full and you’ve been registered for next year’s class. Then, two months later, when you have the money, you can tell Erlv that next year’s class is full too and they’ve refunded your money.”
Li Sha sighed and said, "That's all we can do. Brother Ma, you have to keep your word. You have to give me two thousand yuan in two months, no matter what."
"Sasha, you should know me. I don't have many other merits, but I do have one: I keep my word."
Li Sha seemed to have come prepared. She took out a piece of paper and a pen from her pocket and said, "Brother Ma, words are not enough. Write me an IOU."
Ma Yunfei gave a wry smile, spread the paper on his lap, and wrote: "Li Sha gave me a transfusion of 400cc of blood. At a price of five yuan per cc of blood, I owe two thousand yuan for the transfusion fee, which I will repay in two months."
Li Sha looked at the IOU and said with dissatisfaction, "Brother Ma, you're so mean. When I ask you for the money later, people will see this IOU and say I have no heart. It turns out it wasn't a beauty saving a hero, but a beauty selling her blood."
“Sasha, let’s be truthful. We should write it exactly as it is.”
Li Sha put the IOU in her pocket and turned to leave.
Before they had taken two steps, they ran into Erlv.
Erlv frowned and asked, "Sasha, what are you doing at the sales station?"
"If you can come, why can't I?"
“Sasha, I’m the manager of the sales station. I have to come and inspect every now and then, otherwise people will forget that I have the title of manager.”
Li Sha curled her lip and said disdainfully, "What level of official are you, the station chief?"
"Hehe... No matter what level it is, it just has the word 'long' in it."
Li Sha turned and left.
Erlv asked Ma Yunfei, "What's Sasha doing here?"
Ma Yunfei shrugged and replied, "She has legs; if she wants to come, I can't stop her."
"Boss, what did Sasha say to you? I saw you two talking together from far away."
"Sasha asked me how the yam business was going, and I replied: It's alright, enough to make a living."
Erlv said with dissatisfaction, "Boss, you're so busy, yet you still took the time to chat with Sasha. It's clear that your relationship is quite special."
Now that Ma Yunfei has the support of Deputy Mayor Chang Xiaobao, he is no longer afraid of Erlv.
"Erlv, whatever your relationship with Sasha is, that's what our relationship is. I have the right to speak to Sasha."
Erlv asked in surprise, "Boss, you...you sound pretty tough."
"I'm right. Why do you always interfere with my and Sasha's freedom of movement? Sasha isn't your wife."
"Sasha is my girlfriend, who will be my future wife."
"Erlv, I advise you to wake up. You'd better go back and look in the mirror. With your character, you still want to marry Sasha? I think you're just daydreaming."
“You surnamed Ma, you…you must have been having an affair with Sasha. I’ve known it for a long time. Well, you’re trying to break ties with me.”
"Erlv, let me make this clear: you're the one interfering with my freedom to make friends. You won't let me talk to Sasha, that's unreasonable. Even if Sasha becomes your wife, I still have the right to talk to her."
“Hey Ma, since you put it that way, then our brotherhood is over.”
After Erlu finished speaking, he turned around and left angrily.
"Erlv, I don't care about being called a brother by you!"
Erlu was furious and immediately went to his aunt's house.
As soon as he entered the door, he began to complain: "Auntie, Ma Yunfei really is having an affair with Li Sha. Just now, Li Sha went to the sales station again and talked to Ma Yunfei in a sticky manner for a long time."
Liu Fei scolded him with a stern face: "Er Lv, I find you're getting more and more out of line. Does that mean Ma Yunfei can't talk to Sasha? It was Sasha who went to the sales station, not Ma Yunfei who went to the barbershop to find Sasha. This is Sasha's fault, not Xiao Ma's."
“Aunt, Ma Yunfei just said that he doesn’t care about me as a friend. Look how arrogant he is now, he doesn’t respect you at all. As the saying goes, even when beating a dog, you have to consider its owner. Ma Yunfei doesn’t take me seriously, which means he looks down on you.”
Liu Fei sighed and said, "Erlv, I think you're being a bit too narrow-minded. You keep saying that Ma Yunfei is seducing Li Sha, but you can't produce any evidence. According to what I know, every time Ma Yunfei and Li Sha are together, it's Li Sha who goes to Ma Yunfei. To put it bluntly, it's Li Sha who's pestering Ma Yunfei."
“Aunt, if Ma Yunfei ignores Li Sha or is cold to her, do you think Li Sha will still take the initiative to go to Ma Yunfei? The root of the problem still lies with Ma Yunfei.”
Liu Fei sighed and said, "I've already warned Xiao Ma that if he goes to find Sasha, I'll immediately scold him. The problem is, it's Sasha who goes to find Ma Yunfei, so I have nothing to say."
“Aunt, I think we need to take drastic measures.”
"Erlv, what do you mean by this?"
“Ma Yunfei built his business on the yam sales station. If it weren’t for that station, his family of three would be starving. I thought: why not have my uncle close down the yam sales station and let Ma Yunfei go back to Majiawan to farm? That way, he and Li Sha will never see each other again.”
Liu Fei said with difficulty, "What reason do you have to close the sales station? Don't forget, you're still the station manager."
Erlv suddenly realized something. He slapped his forehead and said, "I forgot. Since I am the station chief, I will announce: Ma Yunfei, the deputy station chief, is hereby dismissed and removed from his post."
“Erlv, by removing Ma Yunfei from his position as deputy station manager, you’ve essentially shut down the sales station. Think about it: once Ma Yunfei leaves, his wife Chen Yuyan will leave too. And that abbot and Yeya are all in cahoots with Ma Yunfei. Do you really want to run the sales station all by yourself?”
“Aunt, I fired Ma Yunfei because I wanted to ruin the sales station. Anyway, it doesn’t make much money. I want Ma Yunfei to go back to Majiawan and starve.”
"Fine, whatever you say."
Erlv went to the sales station excitedly.
When Ma Yunfei saw Erlv running over again, he knew Erlv had no good intentions, so he kept his head down and continued working, ignoring him.
Chen Yuyan and Ye Ya were busy weighing and keeping accounts, and didn't have time to pay attention to Er Lv.
The abbot was carrying yams when he spotted Erlu, spat on the ground, and angrily said, "Rat droppings!"
