Erlu argued confidently, "In today's society, it's all about connections, family background, and connections. I have my uncle as a powerful figure, so naturally I should stay under his protection. Otherwise, wouldn't I be a fool?"
Erlu looked at Ma Yunfei and mocked, "Some people don't have a big tree to climb, but they still shamelessly try to climb higher branches and enjoy the shade."
Ma Yunfei knew that Erlv was mocking him, but he didn't refute it because he looked down on Erlv and thought it wasn't worth arguing with him.
Gu Le said coldly, "Er Lv, don't talk so sarcastically. Xiao Ma only asked me to agree to set up a sales station. Apart from that, he worked himself to the bone to earn a little money for food. I think Xiao Ma didn't get any relief from my influence."
Liu Fei said unhappily, "Erlu, why are you becoming more and more useless? Of the three of you brothers, Xiao Ma is smart and hardworking, and the abbot is hardworking and willing to put in the effort. Only you only think about enjoying the shade under your uncle's big tree and don't have any ambition at all."
Erlu looked at Ma Yunfei and said, "Ma Yunfei, I heard that you're still flirting with Li Sha. Someone saw you two talking together late at night."
Ma Yunfei chuckled and retorted, "Am I not allowed to talk to Li Sha? May I ask: Is Li Sha your wife?"
"Li Sha is my girlfriend."
"Erlv, don't flatter yourself. Li Sha has stated to your face many times that she and you are just ordinary friends. I've heard this countless times, and my ears are practically calloused from hearing it."
"Li Sha is my girlfriend, that's an indisputable fact."
Ma Yunfei sneered and said, "Even if Li Sha is your girlfriend, does that mean I can't even talk to her? There's no such rule in law, is there? And there's no such rule in traditional Chinese morality either."
"You...you're eating from your own bowl while eyeing what's in the pot, and you even want to steal someone else's bowl. You're utterly shameless."
Ma Yunfei said righteously, "Erlv, Li Sha doesn't want to be your girlfriend, but you shamelessly stick to her. I think you're the one who has no shame."
Ma Yunfei is no longer afraid of Erlv, and he doesn't even take Gu Le seriously.
Once Gu Le leaves, Er Lv will lose his backer and become nothing more than a pile of dog shit in Qinglong Town.
Li Sha will probably never even glance at him again, let alone date him.
Erlu said angrily, "Auntie, did you hear that? Ma Yunfei is so arrogant now, he actually humiliated me in front of you."
Liu Fei accused, "Erlv, it's so unreasonable of you to prevent Xiao Ma from talking to Li Sha. Even if Li Sha is married to you, Xiao Ma still has the right to talk to her. Besides, you and Li Sha aren't even officially engaged yet, so why are you interfering with Xiao Ma's right to interact with others?"
Gu Le had long disliked Er Lv, and he said bluntly, "Er Lv, if you can't stand Ma Yunfei, then leave. Don't cause us any trouble here."
Gu Le gave Er Lv the order to leave.
Erlu was a little embarrassed and said, "Aunt, Uncle, you two have been deceived by Ma Yunfei's sweet words. He is the kind of person who says one thing to your face and another behind your back. You must not fall for his tricks."
Liu Fei warned, "Erlv, if you want to argue with Ma Yunfei, then please leave."
Erlv found it unbelievable that his aunt and uncle were both on Ma Yunfei's side.
What kind of magic did Ma Yunfei possess that could bewitch his aunt and uncle?
Erlv stormed off in a huff.
Liu Fei stared at Erlv's retreating figure and cursed, "What a spineless wretch!"
Ma Yunfei explained, “Originally, I was determined to ignore Li Sha, but I was injured and Li Sha gave me a 400cc blood transfusion. In this situation, it would be too ungrateful of me to ignore her. A few nights ago, I ran into Li Sha on my way home and we exchanged a few words. I don’t know which gossipy person was spreading rumors behind my back.”
Gu Le glanced at Ma Yunfei and asked, "Little Ma, has Li Sha fallen for you?"
This was the second time Gu Le had asked Ma Yunfei the same question, clearly indicating that Gu Le also believed that Ma Yunfei and Li Sha were having an affair.
“Godfather, it’s always Li Sha who pesters me. As for whether she likes me or not, I don’t know. However, I think Li Sha wouldn’t like any man in Qinglong Town because she told me the other night that she wanted to find a boyfriend in the city.”
Liu Fei curled her lip and said disdainfully, "Li Sha is all talk and no action. She doesn't even look at herself in the mirror. Although her face is passable, her figure is not good at all. She can't even compare to me."
Ma Yunfei glanced at Liu Fei and thought to himself: It's precisely because you have a good figure and a decent face, and even though you're in your thirties, you still look like you're in your twenties, that you seduced Gu Tian and got taken advantage of by him.
However, Liu Fei will not tell anyone about this, let alone her husband Gu Le.
When Liu Fei recounted her ordeal at the county public security bureau, she repeatedly asked that her story be kept confidential.
The meal was very depressing. Gu Le was about to be transferred away from Qinglong Town, and the county had not given him any details about his next move. He had a vague feeling that the future looked bleak.
After finishing the meal, Ma Yunfei, for the first time ever, washed the dishes and tidied the table.
As he left the mayor's house and reached the entrance of the town government building, he was suddenly stopped by a security guard.
"Ma Yunfei, I was just looking for you."
Ma Yunfei's heart skipped a beat. Lately, he had been feeling uneasy. As the saying goes, "If you have done something wrong, you will be afraid even if no one knocks on the door."
"What...what do you want with me?"
"It's not me looking for you, it's two policemen from the county public security bureau who are looking for you everywhere."
"Why are the police looking for me?"
"I heard they want to ask you about something. You'll find out the details when the time comes."
Another security guard came out of the gatehouse and said, "Ma Yunfei, the people from the county public security bureau are at the police station, waiting for you. Come on, I'll take you there."
They said they were taking Ma Yunfei to the police station, but in reality, they were escorting him there.
As soon as he entered the police station, the station chief shouted, "Ma Yunfei, you're really hard to find! We sent seven or eight people to look for you for more than an hour. I'm telling you, where have you been?"
"I was eating at a restaurant, and I had just put down my bowl."
The station chief led Ma Yunfei into a room and said, "Wait here for a moment, the people from the county public security bureau will be here soon."
Ma Yunfei felt uneasy, after all, he had also done some things that made him feel guilty.
He once passed messages to Gu Tian. Could it be that he considers himself Gu Tian's accomplice?
After waiting for about ten minutes, two police officers from the county public security bureau entered the house.
A policeman asked bluntly, "Ma Yunfei, I heard that more than two months ago, on your way back to Majiawan, someone tripped you up with a rope."
Ma Yunfei shook his head and denied it, saying, "No one tripped me up."
