Chen Yuyan sighed and said, "Gao Yuan and Anna are my sisters after all. They encountered difficulties, but I could only stand by and watch. I always feel uneasy about it."
Ma Yunfei looked at Chen Yuyan and sighed in his heart: Wife, you are too kind-hearted. Back then, they looked down on you so much that you were worthless. Have you forgotten so quickly?
A kind-hearted person will always remember the good others have done and forget the bad ones.
Chen Yuyan slapped her forehead and said, "Honey, I just remembered, you need to hurry up and give that doctor a 20 yuan red envelope."
Ma Yunfei laughed and said, "Honey, I've been so busy lately that I completely forgot about the red envelope. Yes, I should hurry up and give that doctor the twenty yuan red envelope. Lately, my ears have been burning, so it seems that doctor has been scolding me."
"You should also be scolded. Only you could come up with such a terrible idea, actually using a fake red envelope to fool the doctor."
"Honey, I had no other choice. At the time, I didn't have a single penny, but I had to get the doctor to give me a false diagnosis. What could I do? I had no other option but to resort to this."
The next day, Ma Yunfei took Chen Yuyan to the yam sales station and then hurriedly went to the health center in the nearby town.
He walked into the urology clinic, peeked inside, and found that there was only one female doctor.
There was only one urology clinic, so it seemed the male doctor wasn't at work.
Ma Yunfei vaguely remembered that the male doctor's surname was Zhang.
He walked into the consultation room and asked the female doctor, "Hello, is Dr. Zhang not working today?"
"He's off duty today. If you want to see him, come tomorrow."
"Excuse me, where does Dr. Zhang live?"
The female doctor looked Ma Yunfei up and down and asked, "Are you here to see Dr. Zhang?"
"No, not long ago, I saw Dr. Zhang once. At that time, I didn't have any money on me, so I borrowed a few yuan from him to get medicine. Today I'm here to pay him back."
The female doctor pressed for details, asking, "How much money did he borrow from you?"
Ma Yunfei replied evasively, "Five yuan."
The female doctor immediately turned hostile. She slammed her hand on the table and cursed, "This damned bastard, how dare he hide money from his family!"
Ma Yunfei was startled. Judging from the female doctor's tone, it seemed that Dr. Zhang was her husband.
This caused trouble for the male doctor.
Ma Yunfei asked in a panic, "Excuse me: Are you...are you Dr. Zhang's wife?"
"Yes, I am his lawfully wedded wife. Since you want him to repay the money, then give it to me."
The female doctor looked furious; it seemed that Dr. Zhang was henpecked at home.
There were no patients in the examination room at that time.
Ma Yunfei quickly closed the door to the ward.
The female doctor asked in confusion, "Why are you closing the door?"
Ma Yunfei said apologetically, "Doctor, I lied just now. Here's what happened."
Ma Yunfei recounted the whole story, emphasizing, "My father forced me to get married, so I had no choice but to come up with this crooked idea. I asked Dr. Zhang to cooperate with me. At the time, I didn't have any money on me, so I gave Dr. Zhang a fake red envelope. Today, I'm specifically giving Dr. Zhang a red envelope containing twenty yuan."
The female doctor said with a gloomy face, "So it turns out that the guy who fooled my husband was you. That day, my husband handed me a red envelope after get off work, and said to me happily: 'I received a red envelope from a patient today. I don't know how much money is in it. I didn't dare to open it, afraid that you would say I embezzled the money.'"
Upon hearing this, Ma Yunfei immediately covered his mouth and laughed, saying, "On my way home, I sneezed several times in a row, and I thought Dr. Zhang had discovered it was a fake red envelope and was going to start cursing at me."
The female doctor continued unhappily, "When I opened the red envelope, there was only an IOU inside. At that time, I did call you a bastard!"
Ma Yunfei quickly took out fifty yuan and handed it to the female doctor, saying, "I lied to Dr. Zhang and you, and I deserve to die. I am willing to pay the fine, please accept this fifty yuan."
The female doctor took the money, held it up to the sunlight, flicked it a few times with her fingers, and said, "It's real money."
"Doctor, I came here sincerely to give you a replacement red envelope. How could I possibly try to fool you with counterfeit money?"
"That's not necessarily true. You're no good, coming up with such a crooked idea. You think I'll believe you? No way!"
The female doctor put the money in her pocket and asked, "Are you alright? If you're alright, you can go now. Don't interfere with my treatment."
Ma Yunfei thought to himself: This couple are both in the urology department, and we might need their help in the future. I should try to get along with them.
"Doctor, I would like to invite you and your husband to lunch. Would you do me the honor?"
"Let's skip the meal. We doctors are particular about a scientific diet and don't like eating greasy food in restaurants."
Ma Yunfei was surprised that someone was already advocating for a scientific diet in 1990; it was truly unexpected.
In the 1990s, Chinese people had just started to have enough to eat and were obsessed with eating and drinking to their hearts' content. At that time, restaurant revenue skyrocketed, and Chinese people with a little money began to dine out.
Ma Yunfei said respectfully, "Doctor, I will inevitably trouble you and my husband again in the future. Please take good care of us."
"Take care of me, my foot! You think I'll give you a fake diagnosis or a fake certificate? Don't even think about it!"
Ma Yunfei was met with a firm rebuff and said sheepishly, "Then I'll be leaving. You go ahead with your work."
"Get out of here, don't bother coming back!"
"Heh... I came on a motorcycle, do you want me to get into a traffic accident?"
The female doctor frowned and threatened, "If you keep arguing, I'll call the police."
Ma Yunfei said with a smile, "No way, we're strangers the first time, but we'll get to know each other better the second time, and we'll be friends the third time. I'll definitely come to bother you again in the future."
After finishing his speech, Ma Yunfei left the health center.
He had just gotten on his motorcycle when he saw the female doctor sticking her head out of the window and looking at him.
Ma Yunfei waved and called out, "Goodbye!"
To Ma Yunfei's surprise, the female doctor also waved.
It seems the female doctor has calmed down.
Indeed, as the saying goes: one cannot hit a smiling face.
Ma Yunfei was, after all, there to deliver red envelopes, so he was a genuine smiling face.
The motorcycle had only traveled a little over a hundred meters when a man approached from the opposite direction. Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be Dr. Zhang.
Ma Yunfei stopped the car and asked with a grin, "Dr. Zhang, do you still recognize me?"
Dr. Zhang was taken aback at first, then looked closely at Ma Yunfei, his face hardened, and he scolded, "You big liar, you've ruined me! You gave me a fake red envelope, and my wife scolded me all night."
"Dr. Zhang, I came here today specifically to give you a red envelope. I just gave your wife fifty yuan."
"Ah! You're here to make up for the lost red envelope?"
"Yes, I gave you a fake red envelope last time, and I felt terrible. But I didn't have a single penny on me at the time, so I had no choice. Please forgive me, Dr. Zhang."
