Ma Yunfei broke out in a cold sweat.
Teacher Wu continued, "Classmates, would you like to know who this donor is?"
"Teacher Wu, is this donor among us?"
"Teacher Wu, how much money did this donor give?"
…………
People asked a barrage of questions: some were curious about the amount of the donation; some wanted to know the donor's name; and some found it incomprehensible that the donor had kept his identity hidden.
In short, everyone wanted Teacher Wu to give the answer.
At this critical moment, Ma Yunfei decisively expressed his opinion.
“Teacher Wu, I think that since this donor wishes to remain anonymous, we should respect his wishes. As for how much money was donated or who the donor is, these are not important. What is important is that we should all learn from his spirit of giving back.”
Teacher Wu looked at Ma Yunfei with appreciation, nodded vigorously, and agreed, "You're right. Originally, I wanted to announce the donor at this tea party and encourage everyone to learn from him. Now I've changed my mind. Just as Xiao Ma said, we should respect the donor's wishes and learn from his spirit of giving back. I propose that we give these two donors a warm round of applause to pay our highest respects!"
The banquet hall erupted in applause, with everyone clapping enthusiastically for a long time.
Ma Yunfei finally breathed a sigh of relief and wiped the sweat from his forehead.
Chen Yuyan whispered, "Honey, you're so wise."
"Who am I? There's nothing I can't handle, no fire I can't put out."
"Honey, you must never be arrogant or complacent."
"Hehe... Honey, just let me be proud this once. Men have pride too. Don't forget, I used to be a gambler that everyone despised."
The applause finally subsided.
Now it's time for open discussion.
Many students reminisced about their student days and recalled those unforgettable years.
Ms. Wu sat down next to Chen Yuyan, took Chen Yuyan's hand, and whispered, "You are my good student."
This is an ordinary compliment, yet it is also the highest level of praise.
The tea party has ended.
Ma Yunfei and his family of three returned to Majiawan.
Ma Yunfei hesitated before asking, "Wife, are you going to let me sleep on the floor again tonight?"
Chen Yuyan said shyly, "If you don't want to sleep on the floor, then come and sleep on the bed."
Clearly, Chen Yuyan has forgiven Ma Yunfei and acknowledges that Ma Yunfei has repented and reformed.
Overjoyed, Ma Yunfei went to bed.
Chen Yuyan turned off the light and said reproachfully, "You...you should be more civilized..."
That night was truly Ma Yunfei and Chen Yuyan's wedding night.
The following evening, when Ma Yunfei and Chen Yuyan returned home from Qinglong Town, they found Anna and her husband Hu Ge waiting at the door.
Anna said with a grin, "Yu Yan, Yun Fei, you two are so busy. You made us wait all afternoon."
Chen Yuyan explained, "Anna, Yunfei and I are both at the yam purchasing station in Qinglong Town. We've been extremely busy lately. Today, we collected another 10,000 jin of yams."
Anna's husband, Hu Ge, reached out his hand.
Putting aside past grievances, Ma Yunfei extended his hand to shake his, and said cheerfully, "Welcome to my home."
Hu Ge was carrying a pile of gifts.
Chen Yuyan asked in bewilderment, "Anna, what are you doing? We're sisters, and sisters should have a gentlemanly relationship, so why buy so many gifts?"
"Yu Yan, this is my first time visiting. I can't come empty-handed. Besides, as her aunt, I should give my nephew Yueyue a gift."
Ma Yunfei thought to himself: Last night, at the birthday tea party, you two looked down on our family of three, but unexpectedly, overnight you came to curry favor with us.
Anna said shyly, "Yuyan, I heard that your yam purchasing station goes to City A every few days. It just so happens that my husband bought a truck, but business hasn't been good lately. How about I ask my husband to help you transport yams?"
When Jack Ma flew to City A to transport yams, he used a truck from the town's transportation team, which cost him nothing. If he had hired Anna's husband's truck, he would have had to pay a shift fee.
Ma Yunfei would never do such a losing business.
Chen Yuyan felt embarrassed to refuse Anna, so she looked at Ma Yunfei.
Ma Yunfei politely declined, saying, "Anna, the head of the yam purchasing station is the mayor's wife. I'm just a deputy head, basically a gofer, not a manager. How about this, I'll convey your suggestion to the mayor's wife. If she agrees, that would be great, but I doubt it, because we use the town's transportation team's vehicles to transport yams to City A, so we only need to pay for the fuel."
Chen Yuyan chimed in, "Yes, Yunfei is just a laborer. The mayor's wife has the final say, and he doesn't dare utter a single word."
Anna sighed and said, "Two years ago, my husband bought a truck, and business was booming. He could earn 70,000 to 80,000 yuan a year. But recently, more and more people are buying trucks, and they are competing with each other for business. As a result, our truck is only used sporadically. If this continues, we might even lose money."
At this time, Ma Yunfei's business was just starting out, and he couldn't afford to hire Anna's husband's truck.
It seems that Anna and her husband must have had a very important reason for coming to visit.
Anna was somewhat disappointed and said dejectedly, "Then please ask Brother Yunfei to put in a good word for us with the mayor's wife."
"No problem, I'll talk to the mayor's wife about it tomorrow."
Anna and Hu Ge walked away dejectedly.
As soon as they stepped outside, Anna complained, "Honey, I told you, Ma Yunfei is now arrogant because he's successful. There's no way he'd hire our truck to transport yams. Look at him, he's making excuses. You can tell he doesn't want to help us."
Hu Ge sighed and said, "Wife, we're in a bind now, we have no choice but to bow our heads. Look, our truck hasn't had any business for a month. If this continues, we'll be starving."
"Honey, are you really not as good as a big gambler? Look at that guy surnamed Ma, how successful he is now."
“Wife, it’s not that I’m incapable, it’s just that we don’t have any backing. That guy surnamed Ma only got close to the town mayor because he’s married into the family. Otherwise, he’s just a piece of dog shit.”
"Hmph! Before, he wasn't even worth a pile of dog poop. At least dog poop gets picked up and used as fertilizer for crops."
The two cursed each other as they walked, regretting that they shouldn't have come to ask Ma Yunfei for help, only to be met with a cold shoulder.
As soon as Anna and Hu Ge left, Chen Yuyan said sympathetically, "Honey, can we help them out? After all, Anna is my sworn sister."
Ma Yunfei spread his hands and said, "Wife, tell me, how can we help him? We're using the transport team's free truck. If we hire Hu Ge's truck, we'll have to pay a shift fee, which would cost at least 800 yuan for a round trip. Anna might not even be satisfied with that price."
