It's frustrating to hit the target on the first try; I flipped a coin twice, and both times it got stuck in a crack in the ground.
After thinking for a moment, he carried his hunting rifle down the mountain and arrived at Qinglong Town.
He went straight to the sales outlet.
Wild Girl, with her sharp eyes, spotted the perfect shot at a glance and rushed over in delight.
"Father, you've come."
One-Shot-Accurate said listlessly, "Daughter, your mother won't let me get married."
Ye Ya asked curiously, "Dad, did you toss a coin on Mom's grave and it landed tails?"
"Honey, I tossed a coin twice, and both times it got stuck in the crack in the ground, standing upright. It wasn't heads or tails. Honey, what does that mean?"
Wild Girl tilted her head and thought for a moment, then asked in confusion, "Dad, why are there so many cracks in the ground in front of Mom's grave?"
“Daughter, it’s been so dry lately, it hasn’t rained for a long time, and the ground is cracked.”
Ye Ya is very superstitious. She believed what the blind fortune teller said. However, the coins were all standing upright. What does that mean?
Ye Ya ran into the warehouse and said to Ma Yunfei, "Brother Ma, my dad is here. He encountered something strange."
Ye Ya told Ma Yunfei what had happened.
Ma Yunfei looked at Ye Ya and thought: Sigh! People who haven't read books are so ignorant; they even believe the words of blind fortune tellers.
On the other hand, the best way to solve problems is to use foolish methods on foolish people.
Ma Yunfei asked, "Ye Ya, do you really want your dad to marry the woman next door?"
"Yes, the lady next door is a very nice person. She is not only kind but also hardworking. Over the years, she has taken good care of me, just like my aunt."
Ma Yunfei said, "Ya, is this why your father came to find you?"
"Yes, my dad looks worried, I don't know what's wrong. Brother Ma, you're knowledgeable and cultured, can you explain this to me? What's going on?"
Ma Yunfei chuckled and said, "I'll go explain to your father."
He walked out of the warehouse, put on a very friendly demeanor, and called out, "Godfather, hello! It's so nice to see you."
Yi Qiangzhun glanced at Ma Yunfei's head and asked, "Is the head injury healed?"
"It's all better now. The herbs you gave me were very effective."
With a stern face, Yi Qiangzhun said, "You little brat, don't forget what I said. I'm a man who doesn't hold grudges. Don't be fooled by how affectionately you call me 'godfather.' When the time comes, I'll still shoot you dead."
"Godfather, why did you shoot me the moment we met? No matter what, I'm still your godson."
"What kind of godson is he! I don't care."
Ma Yunfei invited, "Godfather, it's almost noon. Let me invite you to the Baixing Restaurant for lunch and a drink."
He refused, saying, "I have bread and water in my backpack, I don't need your treat."
Ye Ya said unhappily, "Dad, why don't you give Brother Ma any face at all? Brother Ma is inviting you to dinner, so just go. It's a waste not to eat."
Ye Ya turned to Ma Yunfei and said, "Brother Ma, I'm going too. I'll have a meal with my dad. It's been a long time since I've eaten at the same table with him."
Wild Girl dragged Yi Qiang to the Baixing Restaurant.
The young widow said happily, "Godfather, you've come! I heard you came a few days ago too. Why didn't you come here? This is Yeya's home, and it's also your home."
The young widow and the wild girl became sworn sisters, and Yiqiangzhun became the young widow's godfather.
It was Yi Qiangzhun's first time entering the Baixing Restaurant and also his first time meeting the young widow. He had heard Ye Ya mention that she had a god-sister in Qinglong Town.
With a single shot, Yi Qiang spotted the young widow and, finding her somewhat pleasing to the eye, said, "Last time I went to Qinglong Town, I was visiting relatives and only stayed one night before leaving."
The young widow personally went to the kitchen and cooked eight dishes, and also brought out a bottle of Wuliangye liquor.
Yiqiangzhun shook his head and said, "I have to rush back later, so I can't drink."
Ma Yunfei said, "Since Godfather doesn't drink, then we won't drink either. We'll just drink tea instead."
He was eating with his head down, his shot hitting the mark.
Ma Yunfei asked, "Godfather, I heard that you threw coins at Godmother's grave, and both times they got stuck in the cracks in the ground."
He nodded accurately with a single shot.
"Godfather and godmother's meaning is very clear: they want you to marry your sister-in-law as soon as possible."
Yi Qiangzhun raised his head, puzzled, and asked, "Isn't it said that if the coin lands heads, it means my wife agrees, and if it lands tails, it means she disagrees? The problem is: the coin is stuck in a crack in the ground, so it's neither heads nor tails. How can you say my wife agrees?"
“Godfather, you tossed a coin twice and both times it got stuck in a crack in the ground, standing upright. This means that Godmother is telling you to decide for yourself. If you want to marry your sister-in-law, then hurry up and do it. If you don’t want to marry her, then forget it.”
One-Shot-Accurate asked, puzzled, "If my wife agrees, then it should be a positive outcome, right?"
"Godfather, think back carefully. When Godmother passed away, that sister-in-law hadn't married into the family yet. In other words, Godmother didn't know this sister-in-law at all, right?"
Ma Yunfei had already learned everything from Ye Ya, which is why he was able to fabricate this theory.
After recalling for a moment, Yi Qiangzhun said, "That's true. My sister-in-law only married into the family the year after my wife died. My wife really didn't know her."
“Godfather, that’s right. Godmother doesn’t know this sister-in-law and doesn’t know if she’s suitable. How can she answer? She can’t say whether she agrees or disagrees. You can only decide for yourself. Godmother’s point is: if you think she’s good, then marry her. If you think she’s not suitable, then forget it. In short, Godmother has no objection.”
Yiqiangzhun slapped his forehead, suddenly realizing, "You're right, kid. My wife has never met your sister-in-law, so of course she can't express her opinion."
“Godfather, my thought is: you should marry your sister-in-law as soon as possible. As the saying goes, 'the longer you wait, the more things can go wrong.' Your sister-in-law has been a widow for more than ten years. Before, she didn't remarry because her son was still a child. Now, her son is eighteen years old, and your sister-in-law may be married off to someone else soon.”
Yiqiangzhun tilted his head and thought for a moment, then said in a panic, "Yes, that's possible. Recently, there's been a hunter in the mountains who keeps going to my sister-in-law's house, and another hunter even wants to be the godfather of my sister-in-law's son, Tuqiu. Humph! He's obviously trying to take advantage of my sister-in-law."
Ma Yunfei added fuel to the fire, saying, "Godfather, I dare say: Sister-in-law is already tempted, and may have already agreed to marry him. If you don't make a move soon, it may be too late."
Yi Qiangzhun said embarrassedly, "This... how am I supposed to bring this up?"
Ma Yunfei patted his chest and volunteered, "Godfather, how can I stand idly by when it comes to your life's most important matter? I'll personally go to your sister-in-law's house to act as matchmaker for you."
Ye Ya also said, "I'll go with Brother Ma to talk to Sister-in-law and break the ice."
