Is Mayor Gu Le having an affair with Mengmeng, the young widow at the Baixing Restaurant?
Erlv once said that his uncle was like a mouse in front of a cat in front of his aunt, so it seems that things are not so simple.
Ma Yunfei decided to find out exactly how far the relationship between Gu Le and the young widow had progressed.
The next day, Ma Yunfei went to Baixing Restaurant.
The young widow said affectionately, "Brother Ma, why did you come alone? Where's Erlv?"
"Heh... Don't you welcome me coming alone?"
"Welcome, of course you're welcome. Please have a seat."
It wasn't mealtime, and there wasn't a single customer in the restaurant.
Ma Yunfei grinned at the young widow and asked, "Sister Meng, does your butt still hurt?"
The young widow involuntarily touched her buttocks, and exclaimed in panic, "So it was you who followed the mayor last night?!"
"Hehe... It wasn't stalking. I just happened to be passing by and saw a suspicious person sneaking up to the back door of your restaurant. I thought it was a thief."
The young widow quickly explained, "Brother Ma, the mayor and I are just ordinary friends, please don't misunderstand."
"Hehe... Sister Meng, don't bother trying to explain. The more you try to cover it up, the worse it gets."
The young widow sighed and said sincerely, "Brother Ma, to be honest, it's hard for a woman to get anything done. I don't have any connections in Qinglong Town, so I have to find a big tree to lean on. Actually, the mayor and I are just having a little fling."
"Sister Meng, I'm here today just to remind you that the mayor's wife is a tigress. She found a few long hairs on the mayor's clothes."
Ma Yunfei tilted his head and glanced at the young widow's long, jet-black braid.
"Ah! The mayor's wife is starting to suspect him?!"
"Yes, Sister Meng, I came here specifically to remind you that if the mayor's wife catches you doing something wrong, you probably won't be able to stay in town anymore."
The young widow said gratefully, "Brother Ma, thank you for reminding me. I don't want to lose more than I gain. It seems I need to keep my distance from the mayor."
"Sister Meng, to be honest, I really sympathize with you. It's tough for a widow to run a restaurant."
"Little brother, I'll cook you two dishes, it's on me."
"Sister Meng, I'm not the kind of person who freeloads, so don't make things up for me. From now on, you'll have to be careful. And by the way, whatever you do, don't mention my name to the mayor."
"Little brother, don't worry. In this world, loyalty is everything. You helped me, so I will never repay kindness with enmity."
Ma Yunfei asked, "Sister Meng, where do you get your restaurant's seasonings from?"
"Little brother, you also want to open a restaurant?"
"No, I have neither the qualifications nor the interest; I'm just asking casually."
“Young man, I have a cousin in City A who runs a wholesale business. Whenever I need seasonings, I just give him a call and he mails them to me.”
Ma Yunfei asked excitedly, "What kind of wholesale business does your cousin do?"
“My uncle does all sorts of businesses, except for drug trafficking and human trafficking. He’ll do anything that can make money.”
Ma Yunfei pleaded, "Sister Meng, could you introduce me to your cousin? To be honest, I'd like to start a business."
"Little brother, no problem."
The young widow gave Ma Yunfei her cousin's phone number and instructed him, "When you call my cousin, tell him: you are my sworn brother."
Ma Yunfei went along with it, saying, "Sister Meng, from now on, we're like brother and sister. We'll help each other out and make money together."
"Great, little brother. I'm an only child and I've always felt quite lonely. But now that I have you as my brother, I feel so warm."
Ma Yunfei left the Baixing Restaurant and went to the post office to call the young widow's cousin.
"Uncle, hello. My name is Ma Yunfei, and I am Mengmeng's sworn brother."
My uncle said warmly, "Little Ma, just tell me what's wrong."
"Uncle, do you know about the market price of yams?"
"Haha... I know it all too well. I've been in the yam business for the past few years."
"Great, Uncle, what's the price of yams in City A?"
"Xiao Ma, my purchase price is one yuan per jin, and the retail price is one yuan and fifty cents."
"Uncle, how much food can you eat at once?"
"Hehe... I'll take as many as you have, the more the better."
"Uncle, our Qinglong Town is famous for its yams. I'm planning to buy a batch of yams and transport them to City A."
“Okay, you can sell them all to me then, one yuan per pound, cash on delivery.”
Ma Yunfei was overjoyed, as the best yams in Qinglong Town could only sell for five cents a pound.
With just one resale, you can make at least a 50% profit.
Ma Yunfei went to Liu Fei's house in high spirits.
Liu Fei asked anxiously, "Son, last night, when you followed your godfather, did you discover anything suspicious?"
“Mom, last night, Godfather went to the Mantanghong Hotel to entertain some businessmen from out of town. They ate until almost eleven o'clock. I noticed that the waitress in the private room had a long braid. When she served food and poured drinks, the long braid hung down on the guests’ shoulders. I thought: the long hair on the mayor’s body belongs to this waitress.”
Liu Fei breathed a sigh of relief and said happily, "I don't really believe the mayor would cheat on me. In the more than ten years we've been married, he has always been very proper and well-behaved. He wouldn't even lift his eyelids when he sees a woman. He would never be unfaithful."
"Yes, judging from the current situation, there is no sign of the mayor cheating. I will keep a close eye on him from now on and keep an eye on him every now and then."
“Son, thank goodness for you. Otherwise, this worry of mine would have gotten worse and worse. Ever since I discovered the long hair on the mayor’s body, I haven’t been able to eat or sleep properly. I thought about interrogating the mayor, but then I thought that without any evidence against him, I wouldn’t get any information out of him and might just alert him.”
"Mom, don't worry. I'll keep an eye on the mayor. As soon as he shows any signs of cheating, we'll put out that little flame immediately."
"Son, I... I am so lucky to have met you in this life."
Ma Yunfei felt the time was right, so he pleaded, "Mom, I'm going to start a small business."
“Son, your godfather has found you a job as a billing clerk at a cement factory. It’s an office job with some power, and you can make a lot of money off it.”
"Thank you, Godfather and Mom. I think doing business is more flexible and you can earn more money."
"Son, what kind of business do you want to start?"
"Mom, I want to set up a yam sales agency to help yam growers sell their yams."
Liu Fei knew nothing about business, let alone what consignment was. She frowned and said, "Son, what do you want me to do for you?"
"Mom, I want you to persuade my godfather to support my sales outlet."
