Erlv said angrily, "Ma Yunfei, you are an ungrateful wretch. If I hadn't helped you back then, you would still be toiling in the dirt, and you wouldn't be where you are today."
Ma Yunfei thought: Erlv is right. No matter what, Erlv did help him back then. Although he and Erlv are no longer on the same path and are no longer brothers, he still has to remember their old friendship.
Thinking of this, Ma Yunfei's tone softened a bit, and he said, "Erlv, how could I not want you to marry a beautiful girl? The problem is that Li Sha really doesn't love you. She has long wanted to find a man from the city. I was just asked by her to help make the match."
Erlu said with a straight face, "Ma Yunfei, you owe me a girlfriend."
Ma Yunfei couldn't find Erlv another girlfriend. Anyone who married a man like Erlv would be cursed with bad luck for the rest of their life.
"Erlv, I admit I'm sorry. Here's what I'll do: I'll give you some compensation for your emotional distress."
Upon hearing this, Erlu was overjoyed and immediately made an outrageous demand: "Ma Yunfei, you have to give me 100,000 yuan in compensation."
Ma Yunfei thought to himself: This guy really dares to ask for an exorbitant amount.
"Erlv, as you know, I run a small business with very low profits. To be honest, I can't even earn 100,000 yuan a year."
Erlu said angrily, "Then you can pay in installments, give me 20,000 every year, and pay off the full compensation in five years."
Ma Yunfei was trying to negotiate with Erlv to reduce the compensation to 20,000 yuan.
Just then, Ye Ya suddenly ran over. Thinking that Er Lv was causing trouble for Ma Yunfei, she punched Er Lv in the face without saying a word.
Erlv covered his face, trembling with fear, and said, "You... why did you hit me?"
Wild Girl brandished her fists and threatened fiercely, "I'm warning you, don't you dare bully my brother."
Erlu said aggrievedly, "Ye Ya, it's not that I bullied your brother, it's that your brother rode on my head and peed on me."
Wild Girl snorted and raised her fist again, threatening, "Erlv, stay away from my brother. Next time, if I see you bothering my brother again, I'll break your legs and smash your head!"
Erlv retorted defiantly, "You dare!"
Wild Girl raised her leg and kicked Erlu hard in the chest.
Erlu let out a miserable cry and fell backward to the ground, clutching his chest and yelling, "Help! I'm going to die!!"
Seeing that Ye Ya was kicking Erlu with all her might, Ma Yunfei knew something was wrong and rushed forward to ask, "Are you...are you alright?"
"Brother Ma, please save me! I'm dying, I'm really dying!"
Seeing that Erlu looked like he was in pain, and it didn't seem like he was faking it, Ma Yunfei knew that Ye Ya had hit him too hard and must have injured Erlu. So, he quickly picked up Erlu and ran towards the clinic as fast as he could.
The doctor took an X-ray of Erlv's chest and confirmed that two of his ribs had been broken by the kick.
Erlu lay on the hospital bed, groaning and complaining angrily, "I'm going to call the police! I'm going to have the police arrest that wild girl and send her to jail!"
Based on Erlv's injuries, if the police are called, Yeya will be arrested and might receive a suspended sentence, or at least detention.
Ma Yunfei quickly advised, "Erlv, you and Yeya are friends, you have some connection. Your fight is just for fun, don't take it seriously."
“Ma Yunfei, you’re taking sides, no way! Ye Ya is your brother and sister, but we have nothing to do with each other, let alone any friendship. I’m going to sue her and make her go to jail.”
Ma Yunfei said to appease the situation, "Erlv, if you don't call the police, we can settle this privately. I promise to give you 100,000 yuan in compensation, and it will be paid in full at once."
Erlv was somewhat tempted and asked, "You were just saying you were poor and couldn't come up with 100,000 yuan all at once, how come you have it now?"
Ma Yunfei sighed deeply, feigning dejection, and said, "I really can't come up with 100,000 yuan all at once, so I have to borrow it from all over the place."
Erlu glanced at Ma Yunfei and extorted, "You stole my girlfriend, so you have to pay me 100,000 yuan. Now that Yeya has injured me, you have to pay me another 100,000 yuan. That's 200,000 yuan in total, not a penny less."
Seeing that Erlv was trying to blackmail him, Ma Yunfei said angrily, "Erlv, if you want to extort money from me, I won't give you a single penny."
Erlv struggled to sit up in bed and said, "I'll call the police right away! Call the police immediately!!"
Ma Yunfei stood up nonchalantly and said, "Erlv, since you insist on calling the police, you won't get a single penny of compensation. And I have to tell you: Yeya is a shrew. As soon as you call the police, she'll disappear into the mountains. The police won't go all out to catch her because she only gave you minor injuries, which isn't a big deal. So, you'll end up losing everything and getting nothing."
Upon hearing this, Erlv felt somewhat disheartened and muttered, "Ma Yunfei, even if you don't give me 200,000, you have to give me 150,000, not a penny less."
“Erlv, what I say is a done deal. As long as you don’t call the police, I’ll give you 100,000 yuan in cash first thing tomorrow morning. If you call the police, you won’t get a single penny.”
Erlv hesitated for a long time without saying a word.
Ma Yunfei said alarmingly, "Erlu, you know how fearless Yeya is. If you call the police, it's like putting her to death. You two will become enemies. Yeya isn't someone to be trifled with. She'll hide in the shadows and secretly shoot you in the head. Yeya's marksmanship is impeccable; one shot can blow your head apart."
Erlu glanced nervously out the window, worried that Yeya was hiding outside, aiming a gun at his head.
Ma Yunfei walked outside, saying as he went, "Erlv, I don't have time to argue with you. You'd better make a decision quickly."
"Brother Ma, don't go."
Ma Yunfei stopped at the doorway.
Erlv finally made up his mind and said sheepishly, "Brother Ma, then I'll listen to your advice and not call the police. However, you have to keep your promise and give me 100,000 yuan in cash first thing tomorrow morning."
Ma Yunfei said with a smile, "That's right. I will keep my promise and will definitely hand over 100,000 yuan in cash to you at eight o'clock tomorrow morning."
Ma Yunfei walked out of the health center.
Ye Ya was peeking around near the clinic when she saw Ma Yunfei come out. She quickly ran over and asked anxiously, "Brother Ma, is Erlv faking his illness?"
“Wild girl, you’ve gotten yourself into big trouble. Erlu has broken two of his ribs. That’s only a minor injury. If Erlu calls the police, you’ll be arrested.”
Ye Ya curled her lip and said disdainfully, "Er Lv is really weak. I broke two of his ribs with a light kick. Is he made of paper?"
"Wild girl, you were too reckless. Luckily you didn't kick with all your might, otherwise Erlu would have been killed, and you would have been in big trouble."
Wild Girl said nonchalantly, "At worst, it'll be a life for a life. I'm not afraid of death!"
"Hmph! Erlu's life is worthless. Using your life to pay for his life would be a huge loss."
