Li Sha said happily, "Brother Ma, I think your greatest strength is your loyalty. I'm similar to you. My dad always says: 'In the world of gangsters, loyalty should come first.' Brother Ma, actually, we're a match made in heaven."
Ma Yunfei shuddered; Li Sha's words filled him with a sense of fear.
His reason for trying to please Li Sha was simply to get her to say a few good words for the abbot in front of Er Lv; he had no affection for Li Sha whatsoever.
Ma Yunfei quickly said, "Sasha, I've heard that people are reincarnated after they die. If we meet again in the next life, let's be husband and wife."
Li Sha frowned and said, "Brother Ma, don't think I want to marry you. Given your current situation, I wouldn't even consider you. Look at you, working like a donkey at the sales station all day, and you don't even earn much money. If I married you, I would end up like Chen Yuyan, working from morning till night at the sales station. I can't take that kind of hardship."
After Li Sha finished speaking, she turned and left.
Chen Yuyan quickly asked, "Honey, what did Li Sha say? Did she convince Erlv to forgive the abbot?"
Ma Yunfei said excitedly, "Li Sha has already accompanied Erlv to his aunt's house and asked his aunt to go to the police station in person. The abbot will only be detained for three days and then released."
Chen Yuyan breathed a sigh of relief and said happily, "That's good. Once the abbot is released, we'll treat him to a meal to comfort him."
Ma Yunfei nodded.
Suddenly, a sense of unease flashed through Ma Yunfei's mind: Had Erlv really forgiven the abbot?
Erlu is an unfaithful person and a man who doesn't keep his word. Perhaps he was just making a show of force in front of Li Sha, and in reality, he hadn't forgiven Erlu.
Ma Yunfei felt that he needed to verify what Li Sha had said.
He immediately pocketed a thousand yuan, bought some snacks and a fruit basket, and went to Liu Fei's house.
Liu Fei looked furious when she saw Ma Yunfei.
"Mom, I've been very busy these past few days and haven't been able to come see you. Today, I made a special effort to find some time."
"Little Ma, you know that the abbot injured Erlu, right?"
Ma Yunfei was startled. Ever since Liu Fei accepted him as her godson, she always called him "son." Today, she broke the rule and called him "Little Ma." This was an ominous sign.
"Mom, I went to all the villages today and just got back a little while ago. I only just found out."
"Little Ma, I think you're not here to visit me, but to plead for the abbot."
"Mom, I'm not trying to speak up for the abbot. To be honest, the abbot is too reckless. Before he left, I gave him a lecture and told him not to make things difficult for Erlv. If you don't believe me, just ask Erlv."
Liu Fei, with a stern face, reprimanded, "Xiao Ma, I'm not trying to criticize you, but I heard from Er Lv that the abbot listens to you the most. Since you reprimanded the abbot, why did he beat Er Lv like that?"
"Mom, when I heard about this, I was furious. I said right away: Good job catching him. That kid has to suffer a bit, otherwise he'll never change his fiery temper."
As Ma Yunfei spoke, he took out a thousand yuan from his pocket and handed it to Liu Fei.
"Mom, I made some money on these two business trips. You can use it to buy some nutritional supplements."
Upon seeing the money, Liu Fei immediately smiled.
“Son, it’s not easy for you to earn money. I heard that you carry yams shirtless every day, working like a donkey. Every time you deliver yams to City A, you rush back overnight, your eyes bloodshot from staying up all night. It’s not easy to earn money, and you still think about taking care of me. You’re so filial.”
“Mom, there’s an old saying: ‘Don’t forget the well-digger when you drink water.’ If it weren’t for you, I would still be toiling in Majiawan, farming those few acres of land.”
"Hehe...Son, the fact that you always remember my kindness shows that you are very filial."
"Mom, I will never forget your kindness to me."
Liu Fei sighed and said, "Your brother, the abbot, is outrageous. He's completely ungrateful. He almost beat Erlv to death. We absolutely cannot let him off this time."
Upon hearing this, Ma Yunfei immediately understood.
Just as he expected: Erlu had lied to Li Sha, and he had not forgiven the abbot.
"Mom, of course we can't let the abbot off the hook. I think he should at least be detained for half a month so he can experience what it's like to be locked up in a dark room. Maybe then he'll never hit people so easily again."
Liu Fei pouted and said angrily, "It's not just about locking him in a dark room for half a month. The abbot slapped Erlu's face until it looked like a steamed bun, knocked out five of his teeth, and even more seriously, broke two of Erlu's ribs. This is no ordinary injury."
"Erlu broke two ribs?"
Ma Yunfei was shocked.
If Erlu really broke two of his ribs, then the matter would be serious, and it might not just be a matter of detention; he could actually be sentenced to prison.
"Yes, the doctor has already issued a certificate, and the certificate has been submitted to the police station. This is irrefutable evidence."
"Ah! That abbot beat Erlu so badly, he should go to jail and rot in jail!"
"Son, don't you even want to say a good word for the abbot?"
“Mom, there’s an old saying: ‘Debts must be repaid, and murderers must pay with their lives.’ Since the abbot beat Erlu so badly, he should bear the consequences. He deserves what he got.”
Liu Fei said happily, "Son, I'm very pleased that you can look at this matter from a fair standpoint. Originally, I suspected that you instigated the abbot to beat Erlu, but it seems that I misunderstood you."
“Mom, as you know, I am sworn brothers with Abbot and Erlv. They are all my flesh and blood, and I will never favor one of them. Since Abbot has not shown brotherly affection, he is in the wrong, so he should be punished by law.”
“Son, your ability to look at things from an objective standpoint shows that you are fair and upright.”
"Mom, this is all thanks to your guidance."
“Son, Erlu might have some misunderstandings about you. Go visit Erlu later, talk to him and clear up the misunderstandings. Otherwise, I’ll be caught in the middle and it’ll be hard for me to do things. Think about it, Erlu is my nephew, and you are my godson. You’re both my flesh and blood. I don’t want you two to fall out.”
Ma Yunfei thought to himself: Although I am your godson, it was something I obtained by flattering and currying favor. In reality, it is just a relationship based on mutual benefit.
However, you and Erlv are related by blood; it's an unbreakable bond, like blood ties.
"Okay, I'll go visit Erlv later and explain things to him. I believe that the ten-year brotherhood between Erlv and me is unbreakable."
Liu Fei said angrily, "Later, I will go to the police station again and tell them to send the relevant information to the county public security bureau as soon as possible and issue an arrest warrant."
