Ma Bajin began reporting on the village's work, but Liu Fei only listened for a few sentences before dozing off.
Ma Yunfei frowned and interrupted the village chief's report, saying, "Village chief, Madam didn't come here today to listen to a report. She came specifically to discuss the purchase of yams. Madam is the manager of the yam sales station, have you heard?"
Ma Bajin shook his head blankly.
"Then I'll get straight to the point. My godmother is the manager of the yam sales station in our town. You should immediately set up a sales point in the village, designate someone to be in charge, and buy the best yams at four cents a pound. Then, collect them and transport them to the sales station in town. After my mom sells the yams, she can settle accounts with the sales point. In short: my godmother's yam sales station is for the benefit of the growers."
Ma Bajin nodded repeatedly, flattering her, "Madam's dedication to serving yam growers is commendable and worthy of emulation by our entire village."
"Village chief, you should hurry up and set up a sales point, promote it in the village, and buy up the yams as soon as possible."
Ma Bajin nodded repeatedly, like a chicken pecking at rice.
Liu Fei dozed off for a bit, then woke up and asked, "Son, have you said everything you needed to say?"
"Mom, I've already spoken to the village chief, and he'll be making the arrangements right away."
The village chief said respectfully, "Madam, I will convene the village committee immediately and make the arrangements. We will purchase the yams within a week and deliver them to the sales station."
Liu Fei asked, "Son, now that we've finished, should we go?"
The village chief quickly urged her to stay, saying, "Madam, please have lunch before you leave. The chef is cooking right now. We have a chef in our village who used to work at a three-star hotel. His dishes are even better than those at the Mantanghong Hotel in town. I'm not exaggerating, you'll see when you try them."
Liu Fei turned to Ma Yunfei and asked, "Son, what do you think..."
The village chief winked at Ma Yunfei repeatedly, trying to get Ma Yunfei to persuade the town mayor's wife to stay.
"Mom, since the village chief is so kind, let's stay and have lunch before we leave."
Ma Yunfei suddenly noticed his wife, Chen Yuyan, waving to him from outside the door, so he went out.
"Honey, what brings you here?"
“Yunfei, someone came to tell me that you hung Ma Tuzi from the roof beam. I said: Yunfei, you must not go too far. We are all fellow villagers. Let's be lenient with each other. Let him down quickly.”
Ma Yunfei pursed his lips and said, "Wife, you don't know, just now, he had me tied up and was going to hang me from the roof beam. I didn't provoke him first."
“Yunfei, whether you provoked him or he provoked you, let’s call it even. Right now, you’re the mayor’s godson, riding high on your success. But don’t forget, life is unpredictable. Today’s honored guest may be tomorrow’s prisoner. We need to have a backup plan.”
Ma Yunfei is both a grateful person and a vengeful person. Originally, he wanted to hang Ma Tuzi up for a whole day to make him suffer, so that he would stop him from always bullying others in the future.
Since his wife had come to plead for him, he couldn't very well refuse her request.
“Wife, since you’ve spoken up, I’ll let him off the hook.”
Ma Yunfei walked into the village committee's warehouse and said to Ma Tuzi, "You're lucky. My wife came here specifically to plead for you. For my wife's sake, I'll let you off the hook."
With tears streaming down his face, Baldy Ma said, "Sister, thank you so much. I will never forget your great kindness."
Ma Yunfei warned, "Bald Ma, remember this: you are not allowed to act tyrannically and bully the villagers again. Otherwise, even if someone pleads for you next time, I will not let you off the hook."
“Brother Yunfei, I’ll remember your words. From now on, I will be a great philanthropist and will never dare to bully the villagers again.”
Ma Yunfei ordered the militiamen to lower Ma Tuzi down from the roof beam.
Baldy Ma lay motionless on the ground, wailing incessantly, "My God, my arm is ruined!"
Ma Yunfei kicked Ma Tuzi and cursed, "You spineless coward, you were only hung up for an hour."
Chen Yuyan advised, "Yunfei, don't be like Baldy Ma, bullying your fellow villagers by abusing your power."
"Honey, I'm not that kind of person. Don't judge me based on a sliver of an eye."
"That's good. I was just afraid you'd end up like Baldy Ma. If that happened, I... I'd be very disappointed in you."
"Wife, you should go back now."
The cook finished cooking, and twelve dishes filled a large table.
Liu Fei suddenly remembered and asked, "Son, don't you live in Majiawan? Quickly call your wife and daughter over, I want to meet my daughter-in-law and granddaughter."
Village chief Ma Bajin immediately sent someone to summon Chen Yuyan and Yueyue to the village committee.
Liu Fei said with a smile, "Hello, daughter-in-law."
"Godmother, hello. Yueyue, quickly call her Grandma."
Yueyue smacked her lips and sweetly exclaimed, "Grandma, you're so pretty! You're a beautiful grandma!"
Liu Fei was so happy she couldn't stop smiling. She said with a smile, "Look, even a three-year-old knows I'm pretty, haha... I never thought that I'd still look like a young girl even though I'm in my thirties."
Ma Bajin flattered, "Madam, you are more beautiful than any young girl. There is no woman in our village more beautiful than you."
Liu Fei pointed at Chen Yuyan and said, "Village chief, you're lying. I think my daughter-in-law and granddaughter are prettier than me."
"Madam, I should say that your daughter-in-law and granddaughter are just as beautiful as you."
"Ha ha……"
Liu Fei found the village chief's words very helpful.
The meal lasted a full two hours. Liu Fei put down her chopsticks, stretched, and asked, "Are there any clean beds here?"
Ma Bajin quickly said, "Madam, the village committee has specially arranged a guest room to accommodate the leaders. The sheets and blankets are all new. I even had someone take them outside to air them out yesterday. Please go and rest for a while."
Liu Fei went to take a nap.
Ma Bajin asked in confusion, "Yunfei, nephew, how...how did you manage to get on the good side of the town mayor?"
“Village chief, you’re mistaken. It’s not that I’ve climbed up the town mayor’s social ladder, but rather that the town mayor has taken a liking to me, and his wife likes me too. They insist that I become their godson. Tell me, how could I dare disobey the town mayor?”
"That's right, that's right."
Ma Bajin nodded like a chicken pecking at rice.
He just couldn't understand why the mayor and his wife had taken a liking to this big gambler.
Did the town mayor and his wife not know that Ma Yunfei was a gambler?
No, the town mayor has many informants. If he wants Ma Yunfei to be his godson, he will definitely investigate beforehand.
It's strange, why would the town mayor take a fancy to Ma Yunfei, this loser?
Regardless, Ma Yunfei is now the town mayor's godson, so he has to treat Ma Yunfei like an honored guest.
Ma Bajin asked respectfully, "Nephew, what kind of gift do you think I should prepare for the mayor's wife?"
