Erlu knelt down with a thud, tears streaming down his face, and said, "Sasha, I can't leave you. Without you, my life will be pitch black and hopeless, and I will die."
“Erlu, don’t threaten me with death. If you want to die, just go ahead and die. There’s no lid in the river; there are sleeping pills in the pharmacy; if you want to hang yourself, just take off your belt and find a tree. Even if you die, I won’t even look at you.”
"Sasha, we've been dating for two years, how can you bear to leave me?"
“Erlu, you’d better go back and look in the mirror. See what kind of person you are. Let me tell you: if it weren’t for your uncle being the town mayor, you would be a pile of stinking dog shit. No, you’re not even as good as stinking dog shit.”
“Sasha, you can’t be ungrateful. It was my uncle who approved the expansion of your family’s barbershop, and it was also my uncle who made other barbershops go bankrupt one by one. Otherwise, where would your family be today?”
“Erlv, I admit: your uncle did do some good things for my family, but I also dated you for two years and let you taste the sweetness of love. Neither of us owes the other anything.”
"Sasha, you've abandoned me, which will plunge me into endless pain. The sweetness of our two years together will vanish. This... this is so unfair to me!"
"Erlv, if you think this is unfair, then take a knife and kill me."
Erlu pleaded, "Sasha, it's really not worth it for you to turn against me for that scoundrel, the abbot."
"Erlv, don't you understand yet? I'm not turning against you because of the abbot. You've deceived me and made a fool of me. You told me to forgive the abbot in front of me and even said you'd have my aunt go to the police station to speak up for him and get him released quickly. But behind my back, you framed the abbot by fabricating a false injury certificate. You...you've disappointed me so much."
After Li Sha finished speaking, she raised her leg and kicked Er Lv hard.
Erlu cried out "Ouch!" and fell backward to the ground.
Li Sha walked away.
Erlu lay on the ground and cried bitterly.
Ma Yunfei was hiding not far away and saw this wonderful scene clearly.
He knew that once Li Sha found out that Er Lv had deceived her, she would definitely turn against him.
Ma Yunfei was worried that Erlv might get angry and do something to harm Li Sha, so he followed him.
He walked over to Erlv and asked, "Second brother, what's wrong with you?"
Erlu raised his head, tears streaming down his face, and said, "Boss, Li Sha and I have fallen out. You...you go and persuade her to make up with me."
"Erlv, why did Li Sha turn against you?"
"I...I don't know either."
Even now, Erlv is still keeping it a secret from Ma Yunfei.
Ma Yunfei sneered, "Second brother, look at you. You're lying on the street crying your eyes out for a woman, making a complete fool of yourself. So many people are watching, like they're watching a monkey show. Don't you care about your reputation at all?"
"Boss, if I lose Sasha, I'll lose happiness, and my life will have no meaning."
Ma Yunfei suddenly felt very happy. Seeing Erlv's painful expression, he felt a sense of enjoyment.
He feigned concern and advised, "Second brother, there are plenty of women in the world. Perhaps you will meet a girl even more beautiful than Li Sha."
"Boss, I... I've fallen for Li Sha. I'll never love another woman but her."
Ma Yunfei racked his brains and offered a suggestion: "Second brother, think about it carefully. Why would Li Sha turn against you? It must be because you did something to wrong her. Since you made a mistake, you should apologize."
Erlv suddenly realized and said, "Boss, you're absolutely right. I have to apologize with thorns on my back, but where am I going to find thorns?"
In the grove west of town, Ma Yunfei saw some thorny plants. He raised his hand, pointed west, and said, "Second brother, there are some in that grove over there."
Erlu excitedly got up from the ground.
Ma Yunfei quickly said, "You have to be shirtless and carry the thorny plant on your back to show your sincerity."
Ma Yunfei wanted to embarrass Erlv in Qinglong Town. This kind of act of apology with thorns on one's back had never been staged in Qinglong Town before.
Erlv ran off excitedly.
Ma Yunfei wanted to burst into laughter, but he couldn't make it too obvious, so he coughed to suppress his laughter.
Ma Yunfei walked towards the sales station and ran into the town mayor, Gu Le, on the way.
Gu Le frowned and asked, "Little Ma, you seem quite happy. What good news has happened?"
Ma Yunfei was startled and made an excuse: "Godfather, just now, I was walking on the road and suddenly found ten yuan. Hehe... I've never found a single penny in my life, but now I suddenly found ten yuan. I think this might be a sign from God that I will become very rich."
Fortunately, Ma Yunfei had ten yuan in his pocket.
He took out ten yuan, waved it in front of Mayor Gu Le, and said happily, "Godfather, don't you think this is something to be happy about?"
Gu Le thought to himself: "A country bumpkin is a country bumpkin. He's so happy just because he found ten yuan. He's really pathetic."
He thought this to himself, but said aloud, "Xiao Ma, this is a good omen. Perhaps your yam business will become more and more prosperous."
"Godfather, where are you going?"
"I'm going to the No. 1 shop in the world to find Erlv."
"Godfather, I just passed by the No. 1 Shop in the World, and it seems it's not open yet. Maybe Erlv is still sleeping in."
Gu Le glanced at his watch and said unhappily, "That Er Lv is really useless. He's a piece of trash and can't be helped. He's not even worth one of your fingers."
"Godfather, you flatter me. I'm just doing some hard work. I'm not as smart as Erlu."
Gu Le stared at Ma Yunfei with a sinister look and asked, "I heard that the abbot beat Erlu, and beat him quite badly."
Ma Yunfei feigned indignation and said, "Yes, this abbot is a hothead. When he gets angry, he's not afraid of anyone, not even the Heavenly King. That day, I happened to be in a village down there on business and wasn't at the sales station. It's my fault; I shouldn't have gone out that day."
"Xiao Ma, this is not your fault."
Ma Yunfei feigned ignorance and said, "Godfather, for someone like the abbot, he needs to know the consequences of hitting people. I think we should lock him up for a few more days. Only in this way can he deeply reflect on his actions."
“I have already released the abbot. In any case, he and Erlv are sworn brothers, and it is inevitable that there will be some conflicts between brothers.”
"Ah! Did you order the abbot to be released?"
"Yes, I heard about this and thought we should make a big deal out of it and let it go. I just went to the police station and asked the chief to release the abbot."
“Godfather, I think we should let the abbot stay in the dark room for a few more days. Releasing him so quickly might mean he hasn’t realized his mistakes yet. What if he hits someone again next time?”
Gu Le waved his hand and said generously, "He's been locked up for two days now, the abbot should have learned his lesson."
