Ma Yunfei asked curiously, "What part is broken?"
"Hehe... The fuel injector is clogged. You can replace it or not, but just to be on the safe side, I replaced it with a new one. It won't cost much anyway."
Ma Yunfei stared wide-eyed in astonishment. The fuel injector was clogged. What a coincidence!
The mechanic charged two yuan for the repair and asked, "Buddy, did you borrow this motorcycle from that young widow?"
"Yes. Do you know the young widow's motorcycle?"
"I don't recognize it. This is the first time this motorcycle has come to me for repairs. In our Qinglong Town, only the young widow's family owns a motorcycle."
Ma Yunfei rode his motorcycle to the Baixing Restaurant.
Hearing the sound of a motorcycle, the young widow came out of the shop and asked curiously, "Young man, what brings you here today?"
"Sister Meng, I've been traveling with the mayor's wife for eight days straight, visiting all twenty-five villages under the town's jurisdiction. Today, I'm here to return the motorcycle."
"Little brother, you can take it and ride it. It's a waste of resources to leave it here."
Ma Yunfei stroked the handlebars of the motorcycle and said, "Sister Meng, you know what, I've really come to like this motorcycle."
"Little brother, since you like it, I'll give it to you."
"Sister Meng, why should I take your motorcycle? This motorcycle isn't cheap."
"That's true. It was an imported motorcycle. It cost over 30,000 yuan when I bought it. My good-for-nothing only rode it a few times before he died."
Ma Yunfei said, "Sister Meng, how about I ride it first, and buy it when I have the money?"
"Little brother, as I said, it's for you."
"That won't do. I can't accept a reward without having done anything right. How about this, you give me a 30% discount."
“Young man, if you don’t want to accept this gift and insist on buying it, then I’ll give you a 50% discount. Just give me 15,000 yuan.”
"Okay, it's settled then."
"Young man, have lunch here, and I'll have a couple of drinks with you."
The young widow ran to the kitchen, cooked four dishes, and brought out a bottle of liquor.
"Sister Meng, I can't drink alcohol while riding a motorcycle."
"Hehe... This is the countryside, there are no police checking your drunk driving."
"Sister Meng, I'm only able to drink with you here today because your motorcycle saved me."
The young widow asked, puzzled, "Did my motorcycle save you?"
Ma Yunfei recounted the ordeal from the previous night, saying with relief, "Sister Meng, isn't it strange? This motorcycle suddenly stalled about 20 meters away from the steel cable. This morning, I took the motorcycle to the repair shop, and the mechanic said it was just that the fuel injector was clogged."
"Ah! This traffic jam couldn't have come earlier or later, it just happened to be at the right time."
"Sister Meng, could it be that your husband's ghost is protecting me?"
"Hehe... My husband doesn't even know you. Besides, you and I are getting really close right now. I'm afraid my husband's ghost is getting jealous."
Ma Yunfei laughed and said, "Your husband's spirit is very clever. It knows I'm a gentleman and wouldn't try anything with you, so it's protecting me in secret."
"Little brother, perhaps it really is my husband's ghost protecting you. Could it be that my husband knows you've become my little brother, and that I might need your protection in the future?"
Ma Yunfei looked at the young widow and thought to himself: "The affairs of this world are truly unpredictable."
Although the young widow and the mayor hadn't yet developed a romantic relationship, they were, after all, friends.
With the town mayor protecting the young widow, how could he possibly be the one to protect her?
The young widow asked, "Young man, who wants to harm you?"
"Last night, I thought about it all night, but I couldn't come up with anything. In my memory, I don't seem to have any enemies."
The young widow prompted, "Young man, have you ever cuckolded another man?"
"No...no way."
Ma Yunfei didn't know if his predecessor was a gambler and a womanizer.
If his predecessor had cheated on him with another man, then it would be understandable that the other man would try to kill him.
"Young man, don't you know what you've done?"
"Sister Meng, to be honest, I'm still a virgin."
"Hey! Little brother, are you talking nonsense? You're already married, how come you're still a virgin?"
“Sister Meng, I got married a month ago. On my wedding night, I was lured to gamble by some friends and lost a thousand yuan in one night. I borrowed a thousand yuan from Ma Suanpan in the village and wrote a note to sell my daughter, intending to use her to pay off the debt. The next morning, I returned home and told my wife about it. She hit me on the head with a stick, and I've had amnesia ever since. And ever since then, my wife has made me sleep on the floor every day.”
The young widow smiled and said, "Young man, you really know how to make up stories, and this story you made up is quite wonderful."
Ma Yunfei knew that his experience was too bizarre. If he told the young widow that he had been reborn from thirty years in the future, she would probably think it was an even bigger fantasy.
"Sister Meng, I didn't make this up. To this day, I have never slept with my wife. If you don't believe me, that's fine too."
The young widow pondered for a moment and said, "Young man, it seems you have to be careful. Since someone wants your life, they won't let it go until you're dead. They might even try to kill you again."
"Yes, last night, there was a dark figure near the scene of the incident. I shouted and scared him away."
"Young man, is that dark figure male or female? What is its build? These are all clues to solving the case."
"It was too dark. I only saw a dark shadow flash by and then it disappeared. I didn't dare to chase after it."
Ma Yunfei pointed to the steel rod wrapped in clothes on the motorcycle and said, "I was careful and got my hands on the steel rod and the steel cable. This is the evidence."
The young widow solemnly reminded him, "Little brother, from now on, try not to walk at night and go out less at night. I don't want to lose you as my little brother."
"Sister Meng, I don't want to leave this beautiful world either."
After lunch, Ma Yunfei drove his motorcycle back to Majiawan.
As soon as she entered the house, Chen Yuyan said anxiously, "Yunfei, I thought about it carefully last night and this morning, and there is a very suspicious person. Maybe he is the one who did something bad to you last night."
Who is that person?
“It’s Chen Xiaotou from my maternal home, Chenjia Village.”
Who is Chen Xiaotou?
"Yunfei, listen to me."
Chen Yuyan's maternal family is in Chenjia Village. Although everyone in Chenjia Village has the surname Chen, some of them are descendants of migrants and not from the same clan.
The richest man in Chenjia Village is named Chen Datou. He is an aquaculture farmer who has contracted a large fishpond in the village.
Chen Datou has a son named Chen Xiaotou, who is five years older than Chen Yuyan.
When Chen Yuyan was ten years old, she was playing by this fishpond when she accidentally slipped and fell into it.
The pond was deep, and Chen Yuyan couldn't swim. She struggled in the pond and was about to sink.
Just then, Ma Yunfei's father happened to be passing by the fishpond. He dove into the pond and rescued Chen Yuyan.
