Chen Yuyan's parents were very grateful to Ma Yunfei's father and immediately arranged a marriage between them, so that Chen Yuyan would marry Ma Yunfei when she came of age.
Three days later, many of the fish in the pond suddenly died. The pond's owner, Chen Datou, then went to Chen Yuyan's parents and blamed Chen Yuyan for falling into the pond and bringing bad luck, which caused many of their fish to die.
This almost led to a lawsuit.
Chen Datou proposed that Chen Yuyan marry his son Chen Xiaotou, and that would settle the matter.
Chen Yuyan's parents did not agree, and finally, with the village chief's mediation, they compensated Chen Datou with one hundred yuan.
From then on, Chen Xiaotou became obsessed with Chen Yuyan, and whenever he saw her, he would keep calling her "wife, wife."
A month ago, Chen Yuyan and Ma Yunfei got married. On their wedding night, Ma Yunfei went to gamble, and Chen Xiaotou actually came and knocked on the door and window.
Upon hearing Chen Yuyan's account, Ma Yunfei flew into a rage and said, "Damn it, this Chen boy is going too far! It was one thing for him to harass you before, but now that you've married me, he's come to Majiawan to cause trouble. Isn't he trying to cuckold me?"
“Yunfei, I just have some suspicions about Chen Xiaotou. Based on what I know of him, he’s a little bad, but not that vicious. However, maybe he’s enraged that I’m already married to you, and he might just do something drastic to you.”
After thinking for a moment, Ma Yunfei decided to talk to Chen Xiaotou.
The next day, after breakfast, Ma Yunfei went to Chenjia Village.
Chen Xiaotou's family lived right by the fishpond. Their five brand-new brick houses and high courtyard walls clearly indicated that they were a wealthy family.
Ma Yunfei knocked on the courtyard gate and shouted, "Chen Xiaotou!"
An old woman in the courtyard asked, "Who is it?"
"I am Chen Yuyan's husband."
The courtyard gate opened, and an elderly woman in her fifties looked at Ma Yunfei and asked, "Are you from Majiawan?"
"Yes, I am Chen Yuyan's husband."
"Why are you looking for my son?"
Ma Yunfei lied and said, "I want to buy a batch of fish and I'd like to discuss the price with your son."
"Oh, my son went to Qinglong Town. He's at Yipinxiang Tea House discussing business with someone. Go there and find him."
Ma Yunfei thought: It would be better to meet in town.
He rode his motorcycle to Yipinxiang Tea House in Qinglong Town.
This teahouse is the most upscale teahouse in Qinglong Town.
The teahouse has two floors; the first floor is the main hall, and the second floor has private seating areas.
Needless to say, Chen Xiaotou must be discussing business in the private room on the second floor.
There are eight private rooms on the second floor, seven of which are empty. Obviously, Chen Xiaotou must be in one of the occupied private rooms.
Ma Yunfei walked to the door of the private room and peeked through the crack in the door. Inside, he saw a man and a woman sitting.
The man was tall and thin. According to his wife Chen Yuyan's description, Chen Xiaotou looked like a telephone pole. It seems that this tall man should be Chen Xiaotou.
Upon closer inspection, the other woman turned out to be a young widow.
Ma Yunfei was shocked. Could it be that Chen Xiaotou and the young widow were having an affair?
Ma Yunfei felt disgusted. The young widow kept saying that she was still a virgin, but she was flirting with the town mayor one minute, and with Erlv the next. Today, she was having tea alone with Chen Xiaotou.
Were they discussing business or having a secret rendezvous?
Ma Yunfei knocked on the door.
Chen Xiaotou said, "Please come in!"
Ma Yunfei pushed open the door and went inside.
The young widow asked in surprise, "Young man, it's you? Are you... are you here to see someone? Or are you here to have tea with someone else?"
Chen Xiaotou asked suspiciously, "Boss Meng, do you know this uninvited guest?"
"Little guy, he's not an uninvited guest. Let me introduce him. He's Ma Yunfei from Majiawan."
As soon as the young widow finished speaking, Chen Xiaotou stood up abruptly, his face stern, and asked, "You're Ma Yunfei?"
"Hehe...yes, I am Ma Yunfei."
The young widow was somewhat surprised. Seeing that Ma Yunfei and Chen Xiaotou both looked strange, she asked, "You two knew each other before?"
Ma Yunfei sneered, "Hehe... Although we've never met before, I've long admired Chen Xiaotou's reputation. It's a pleasure to meet you today!"
Ma Yunfei extended his hand.
Chen Xiaotou didn't want to shake hands with Ma Yunfei. He hesitated for a moment, then reluctantly shook hands with Ma Yunfei.
The young widow said, "Brother Xiao Tou, our contract has already been signed. This is none of my business. Let's leave."
After the young widow finished speaking, she stood up and left.
Ma Yunfei sat down in the young widow's seat and said to the waiter, "Give me a cup of tea."
Chen Xiaotou asked coldly, "Did you come here specifically to find me?"
"Yes, I went to your house. Your mother said you were discussing business at Yipinxiang Tea House, so I came here."
"You...you also want to do fish business? I'm sorry, I don't want to do business with you."
"Hehe... Chen Xiaotou, I didn't expect you to be so petty. I'm just wondering, you're the one who provoked me, but it's like I owe you something."
“Ma Yunfei, there’s nothing to talk about with you. You’re a gambler, and I never gamble. We’re like cars on two different roads, never going to cross paths. Sorry, I’m not going to play along.”
"Wait! I haven't finished speaking yet."
"Speak your mind, or shut up. I have things to do and don't have time for your nonsense."
"Heh... Perhaps, if I were to appear before you right now, it would surely disappoint you greatly?"
Chen Xiaotou said, puzzled, "I don't understand what you mean."
"Hehe... I don't like beating around the bush. Last night, you were the one who tripped me up on the path, weren't you?"
Chen Xiaotou looked suspicious and asked, "The more you talk, the more confused I get. What tripwire?"
"Hehe... Chen Xiaotou, you're quite good at playing the fool. Too bad, my motorcycle has a spirit attached to it. It sensed your scheme and tricks, so it suddenly stalled about 20 meters from the tripwire. I think you'll be quite surprised."
Chen Xiaotou said angrily, "Ma Yunfei, I don't have time to listen to your nonsense. What tripwire, what motorcycle? Wait, are you going to pop up with an atomic bomb or a Martian later?"
After saying that, Chen Xiaotou turned around and was about to leave.
Ma Yunfei roared, "Stop right there!"
Chen Xiaotou angrily rolled up his sleeves and said, "Ma Yunfei, you've got some nerve! You stole my wife and you still dare to cause trouble for me. Today, I'm going to teach you a lesson."
Perhaps Chen Xiaotou was still a little afraid of Ma Yunfei and dared not make a move easily. He stopped, thought for a moment, walked to the window, and shouted outside, "Come on up!"
A series of thumping sounds were heard on the stairs, and less than twenty seconds later, two burly men ran up.
It seems that these two burly men are Chen Xiaotou's bodyguards.
