After leaving the town mayor's house, Ma Yunfei immediately rode his motorcycle back to Majiawan.
Today is Sunday, and the yam sales station is closed.
Chen Yuyan got up early in the morning, ate breakfast, and then took Yueyue to plant vegetables in their private plot.
She heard the sound of a motorcycle and hurried home.
Ma Yunfei put the 30,000 yuan he had earned on the table and said excitedly, "Wife, our family has made another small fortune."
Holding the thick stack of three RMB notes, Chen Yuyan said happily, "Yunfei, you're being too modest. You made 30,000 RMB in one go! Our family is rich!"
Ma Yunfei thought to himself: If this were in 2020, thirty years from now, this amount of money would be nothing at all.
However, in 1990, 30,000 yuan was a large sum of money.
"Yunfei, it's not safe to keep money at home. We should deposit it in the bank as soon as possible. This afternoon, take me to the nearest town on your motorcycle to deposit it."
After lunch, Chen Yuyan entrusted Yueyue to her neighbor, then got on her motorcycle and sped off to a nearby town.
On the way, Chen Yuyan pleaded, "Yunfei, for the past ten years, I've had a wish. Do you want to know what it is?"
"Honey, are you thinking of buying a high-end outfit?"
"No, I don't have any high demands in life. As long as I'm well-fed and clothed, that's enough. As long as my family is happy, that's better than anything else."
"Honey, do you want to travel the world and broaden your horizons?"
"Yunfei, I have no such idea. I haven't even thought about going to any part of China, let alone anywhere in the world."
"Honey, you're not picky about food or clothing, and you don't want to travel the world, so I just don't understand, what exactly do you wish for? You don't mean you want to go to Mars, do you?"
"Hehe... I'm not crazy. Why would I go to Mars? Even if you invited me, I wouldn't want to go."
"Wife, then just tell me directly what your wish is."
“Yunfei, when I was in junior high school, our homeroom teacher, Ms. Wu, took us to the orphanage in Qinglong Town to perform for the orphans and help them take a bath. From that time on, I had a wish: if I ever had money in the future, I would donate to the orphanage because those orphans were so pitiful. I wanted to let them wear new clothes and eat delicious food.”
"Oh, honey, you have such a compassionate heart. I support you. Tell me, how much money do you want to donate?"
"Yunfei, you've earned 30,000 yuan in one go. We can't possibly spend all that money. How about we donate 10,000 yuan?"
"Wife, you're in charge. I'll listen to you."
Chen Yuyan found it strange that the day after their wedding night, he pushed Ma Yunfei, causing him to fall to the ground, hit his head on the wall, and immediately lose consciousness.
From then on, Ma Yunfei was like a different person. He never went to the gambling table again and focused solely on making money.
What's even stranger is that Ma Yunfei seems to have suddenly become smarter. He actually started a business that made money out of thin air without any initial investment, and he made so much money.
"Yunfei, you...you seem like a completely different person. I almost don't recognize you anymore."
"Hehe... Wife, I was a different person all along, because I have reformed and turned over a new leaf. What does it mean to reform and turn over a new leaf? It means I have become a different person."
Ma Yunfei was an economist in his previous life, so he naturally understands the principles of doing business.
Currently, his yam business is just a small part of his overall business; he wants to use his extensive knowledge of economics to create more wealth.
Chen Yuyan had only 20,000 yuan in a bank in a nearby town.
After returning to Qinglong Town, the two went straight to the orphanage.
The orphanage is more than a kilometer away from Qinglong Town. It is a courtyard house with more than thirty orphans inside.
In reality, this orphanage was run by the county government, but it was located in Qinglong Town.
The director of the orphanage was a woman in her fifties.
When the dean heard that the two had come to donate money, his face beamed with smiles, and he said repeatedly, "In recent years, apart from Teacher Wu from Qinglong Town Middle School, no one else has donated money."
Ma Yunfei asked, "Wife, is this Mr. Wu your junior high school homeroom teacher?"
"Yes, that's her, her name is Wu Yajun."
The dean accepted the 10,000 yuan and asked Chen Yuyan to sign a document.
Chen Yuyan only signed one: "Donate to charity".
The dean asked, "You two are locals, right?"
Chen Yuyan nodded.
"Could you two please leave your names?"
Chen Yuyan shook her head.
"Director, I'm donating to the orphanage not to gain a good reputation, but simply to fulfill a wish of mine."
Ma Yunfei and Chen Yuyan visited the orphanage for a while and then left.
On the way back to Majiawan, Ma Yunfei asked, "Wife, this time your wish has finally come true."
"Yes, back then, Teacher Wu often brought us to the orphanage to help the orphans with their work. Teacher Wu often said: 'People should have kindness and love; it is human nature.'"
Ma Yunfei disagreed with Professor Wu's viewpoint. Based on his past life experiences, he felt that people are all different, some are kind-hearted, and some are evil.
Ma Yunfei was very fortunate to have met Chen Yuyan, a kind-hearted woman.
Of course, the other two women he encountered, Wild Girl and Young Widow, were also kind-hearted women.
As soon as they arrived home, they saw a note on the door that read: "Yuyan, today is Teacher Wu Yajun's 70th birthday. A birthday tea party will be held tonight at 7 PM at the Mantanghong Hotel in Qinglong Town. Please be on time."
The note was signed: Gao Yuan.
"Hehe... Speak of the devil, and he appears. Wife, you kept mentioning Teacher Wu on the way here. I never imagined that today is Teacher Wu's 70th birthday."
"Yes, maybe it's a telepathic connection. This morning, as soon as I opened my eyes, I thought of Teacher Wu and my wish."
"Honey, is this Gao Yuan your junior high school classmate?"
"Yes, when I was in junior high school, I became sworn sisters with two female classmates, and we called ourselves the Three Sisters. One of them was named Gao Yuan, and the other was named Anna. Unfortunately, the three of us rarely keep in touch now. I heard that they are both married."
“Wife, we’re quite similar. You’ve made two sisters, and I’ve made two brothers. And you know what? My two brothers have really helped me a lot. Erlv helped me get on the good side of the town mayor, and now the abbot is my most capable assistant.”
“Yunfei, I’m not as lucky as you. The two sisters I befriended haven’t been as close to me since they heard I was going to marry you, a gambler. I think they must look down on me.”
"Wife, I used to make you lose face, but from now on I will not only help you regain your dignity, but I will also make you proud of me."
"Yunfei, as long as you can quit gambling and earn money through hard work like you do now, I will be satisfied. I don't care what others think."
"Honey, let's get ready quickly and take Yueyue to the birthday tea party."
