Ma Yunfei greeted the young woman with a smile: "Hello, excuse me, why is that barbershop closed?"
The young woman chuckled and asked, "Young man, you spent more than an hour at that hair salon yesterday. Those two sisters must have told you quite a few secrets, right?"
"No, I just got a haircut at the barbershop."
"Hehe...who are you trying to fool? Yesterday, after you came out of the hair salon, I saw the two sisters hurriedly packing their things and leaving the hair salon in a hurry."
“Really? Oh, I remember now. When they were getting their hair cut, the two sisters said that their lease on this place had expired, so they were planning to rent another place.”
The young woman said slyly, "Young man, you don't even know who you're lying to. I do business on this street, and I know exactly which shops' leases are expiring. The barbershop's lease doesn't expire until next month. The two sisters ran away a month early, so you can imagine that something unexpected must have happened. Otherwise, who would leave a month in advance?"
Ma Yunfei shrugged and said helplessly, "Anyway, the two sisters leaving has nothing to do with me."
"Young man, you're really something. You scared the barbershop away just by getting a haircut there."
Ma Yunfei asked, "Boss lady, do you know where the two sisters live?"
The young woman glanced at Ma Yunfei sideways and asked, "Have you taken a fancy to one of the two sisters?"
"What are you talking about? I was just asking casually. To be honest, I'm already married."
"Young man, is the girl who came with you yesterday your wife?"
Ma Yunfei nodded.
The young woman laughed and said, "Young man, you really lie without even a script. The girl who came with you yesterday kept calling you Brother Ma. If she were really your wife, why would she call you brother?"
"That's the custom where we're from; we all call our husbands 'brother'."
"I've never heard of such a rule. Then let me ask you: if the husband is younger than the wife, does that mean he has to call her 'little brother'?"
"No matter how old your husband is, you have to call him 'brother'. That's the custom where I'm from."
The young woman chuckled and said, "Young man, I have a sharp eye. The girl who came with you yesterday must be your lover."
Ma Yunfei shrugged. He had to admit that this young woman was indeed not simple; he could actually see some clues about her.
Ma Yunfei didn't want to get entangled in his relationship with Ye Ya, so he said, "Boss lady, if you know the address of the two sisters who run the hair salon, please tell me. I want to give them some information. There is a shop for rent not far away, and it is very suitable for a hair salon. I want to tell the two sisters this news."
"Hehe... You scared the two sisters away, so you feel guilty and want to make it up to them, am I right?"
Ma Yunfei did want to make up for the two sisters. Yesterday, he gave them 20,000 yuan, but after thinking about it last night, he felt that it was too little.
Today, Jack Ma went to the bank and withdrew 30,000 yuan to give to his two sisters.
Ma Yunfei had no choice but to admit, "Yesterday, the two sisters didn't say anything to me. Perhaps I pried into their lives and scared them a little, so they quickly closed the shop and left. I feel a little sorry for them and really want to make amends."
"Young man, how do you plan to make amends?"
"It's just to provide information, to let them rent a house on that street. I inquired around and found that the rental houses here are relatively cheap and the location is also quite suitable."
Ma Yunfei couldn't tell the young woman the truth. If he told her he would give the two sisters money, it would make the young woman jealous and might cause trouble for the two sisters.
The young woman sighed and said, "Young man, I don't know where the two sisters live. They don't talk much. The younger sister is more lively, but whenever she talks too much, the older sister stops her."
Unable to get the two sisters' address, Ma Yunfei had no choice but to reluctantly say goodbye to the young woman.
The young woman said suggestively, "Young man, come sit here for a while. My husband never comes to the shop, so I'm all alone. It's quite lonely. Come keep me company."
Ma Yunfei said half-jokingly, "Boss lady, you're so beautiful, I wouldn't dare come to keep you company. Maybe you have a lover outside, and they'll get jealous and might even beat me up."
The young woman curled her lip and said bluntly, "Young man, don't underestimate me. I usually don't even bother with most men, but my feelings for you are very unusual. I feel like I've known you for a long time, and I'm very familiar with you."
The young woman was trying to get closer to Ma Yunfei.
Ma Yunfei had no time to flirt with the young woman. He quickly said, "Boss lady, I will come to visit you when I have time, but I dare not cross the line. I am a very upright person."
The young woman said disdainfully, "Young man, all men are the same. If you want to talk about being decent, it's only because you haven't met a woman you like. Once you do, you'll throw all sense of propriety to the winds. Young man, do you perhaps look down on me?"
Ma Yunfei knew: if he didn't leave now, things would get complicated.
He quickly said, "Boss lady, until we meet again!"
Ma Yunfei left in a hurry. He wandered around the neighborhood but did not find the two sisters.
Just as he was feeling a bit dejected, he suddenly saw a familiar figure – the girl from the hair salon.
My younger sister walked out of a supermarket carrying a plastic bag.
Ma Yunfei looked around carefully but couldn't see his sister, so he quickly went to meet her.
"Little sister, I've been searching high and low, but you've come to me without any effort. I was just looking for you two sisters, and I never expected to run into you. It's truly a blessing from heaven."
The younger sister asked in a panic, "Big brother, what...what brings you here to see us again?"
With people coming and going on the street, Ma Yunfei couldn't possibly pay money in such a situation.
"Sister, please come over here, I have something to tell you."
The younger sister was terrified and ran away.
As Ma Yunfei chased after her, he said, "Little sister, don't run away! I'm not a bad person, and I don't want to hurt you two sisters. I want to help you."
The younger sister turned her head and said fearfully, "Big brother, don't follow me, I'm scared."
"Little sister, what are you afraid of? Putting everything else aside, just looking at my appearance, I should look kind and gentle, right? I look like a very good person."
The younger sister, unable to run any further, stopped and panted, saying, "Big brother, what exactly do you want? Why do you keep bothering us sisters?"
"Little sister, please wait and let me explain."
The younger sister stopped, panting, and said, "Big brother, you...you're like a piece of chewing gum, once you're stuck to someone you can't get rid of. I...I really can't do anything with you."
“Little sister, yesterday you gave me some very valuable information, but it also made you two sisters panic and close down the hair salon. Just now, I saw the 'For Rent' sign outside the hair salon, and I know you two are really gone.”
