Chapter 6 Entering the Tiger's Den Again



Ma Yunfei was terrified. He was forced to marry Ye Ya tonight with a single shot. What should he do?

Ma Yunfei frowned, quickly pulled Ye Ya aside, and whispered, "Marriage is a major life event, how can it be so hasty? If we get married tonight without even a wedding ceremony, what kind of event is that?"

Ye Ya agreed, "Dad, I'm not some girl who can't get married, why should I be in such a hurry to get married?"

"Daughter, don't you want to marry Ma Yunfei?"

"Of course I want to, but we need to make some preparations. We need to go to town to buy some 'double happiness' characters to put up, buy a bright red quilt cover and sheets, and invite all the old hunters from the neighborhood to attend the wedding. I don't want to get married in secret."

Yi Qiangzhun said thoughtfully, "That's true, daughter. Tomorrow you go to town to buy things for the wedding. I'll stay home and watch over Ma Yunfei so he can't escape."

Ma Yunfei was overjoyed, thinking: "I'll delay as long as possible. Let me think of a good plan."

That night, Ye Ya let Chen Xueyan and Yueyue sleep in her bedroom, and let Ma Yunfei and Yi Qiangzhun sleep in the same bed.

With a single shot, Ma Yunfei was forced to sleep in the bed. He warned, "Don't go out at night. There are hungry wolves outside. With your build, you wouldn't even be enough to fill a wolf's stomach."

The next day, before dawn, Ye Ya got up, ate breakfast quickly, and went down the mountain to town.

Chen Yuyan also got up and helped Yeya make breakfast.

Before leaving, Ye Ya said to Chen Yuyan, "Big sister, you and Yunfei shouldn't even think about escaping. The mountain paths are winding and twisting. If you get lost and encounter wild animals, you'll both become a pile of bones."

Yesterday, I came up the mountain from Majiawan and encountered a lone wolf halfway up the mountain.

If Ye Ya hadn't pulled out a dagger and brandished it, that wolf probably would have pounced on her.

"Wild girl, we won't run away."

After breakfast, Yiqiang sat at the door with his hunting rifle in his arms, looking as if he was always on guard against Ma Yunfei's family escaping.

Ma Yunfei sighed and said to Chen Yuyan, "Wife, our family has escaped the wolf's den only to fall into the tiger's lair."

Chen Yuyan frowned and said, "Yunfei, since Yeya likes you, you should just marry her. Anyway, we haven't gotten a marriage certificate or slept together."

Ma Yunfei shook his head firmly and said, "Wife, you're not right about that. We've been childhood sweethearts. You agreed to marry me when you were ten years old. Although we haven't gotten a marriage certificate or even slept together, we're a match made in heaven."

"Yunfei, didn't you realize that if you don't marry Yeya, our whole family of three will probably die here?"

"Although the wild girl is very domineering and her aim is accurate, this father and daughter are both dim-witted. We can outsmart them."

"How do you plan to outsmart her? Yeya has already gone down the mountain to prepare for the wedding. Tonight, you're determined to marry Yeya unless the three of us grow wings and fly out of the mountain."

Ma Yunfei retorted, "I don't believe it. As the saying goes, 'Three cobblers are equal to one Zhuge Liang.' Do you think our family of three can't come up with a good plan?"

Chen Yuyan looked at Yueyue and said with a wry smile, "Do you really expect your three-year-old daughter to come up with some magical ideas for you?"

Ma Yunfei chuckled and said confidently, "I didn't sleep a wink last night and came up with a good idea, but I still need to consider it."

"What method?"

"I wanted to lie and say that I was impotent. I'm so desperate for a grandson. If they hear that I'm impotent, they'll probably kick me out overnight."

"You...you lied and said you had problems with that kind of function? Can Yiqiangzhun and Yeya believe that?"

“I will offer to go to the town’s health center for a check-up. That way, even if they don’t believe me, they will at least believe the doctor’s diagnosis.”

"Yunfei, you...you really can't do it in that area? No wonder last night was our wedding night, but you made up an excuse and didn't come home all night. So you're not a real man after all."

"Honey, I'm perfectly fine in that area. I... I was dragged into gambling by my friends last night. It was a moment of folly. Now I'm determined to quit gambling and never go to the gambling table again."

“Yunfei, if you don’t have a problem in that area, the doctor will find out as soon as he examines you.”

"Hehe... I heard that doctors accept red envelopes. If you give them a red envelope, they can diagnose me with erectile dysfunction."

Chen Yuyan sighed and said, "I don't have a single penny on me, and neither do you. Where are we going to get a red envelope to give to the doctor?"

"Honey, I heard someone gave you a red envelope last night. Do you still have it?"

“Xiao Cui next door did give me a red envelope with ten yuan in it. Today, I used it to buy meat, fish, eggs, and three packets of rat poison. I spent it all and don’t have a penny left.”

"Do you still have that red envelope?"

"Yes, I'm here."

Chen Yuyan took out a red envelope from her pocket.

Ma Yunfei took the red envelope and said happily, "This red envelope is enough."

"Yunfei, do you really think you can fool the doctor with this empty red envelope?"

"Yes, but I have to fake it a little. I'll put a few pieces of white paper in the red envelope. Oh, and I'll write on the paper: 'I owe you twenty silver dollars, and I will pay you back in full soon.'"

“Yunfei, if you… if you give yourself away, the doctor will turn on you on the spot, and then this plan will be ruined.”

"Hehe... Honey, I've thought it through. I'll put a few pieces of white paper into the red envelope, then seal it with glue. That way, the doctor won't open it on the spot. Once I leave, it'll be too late for him to regret it. But I'll keep my promise and give the doctor a 20 yuan red envelope when I have the money."

At noon, Chen Yuyan finished cooking and called out, "Uncle, come and eat!"

With a fierce expression, Yi Qiang said unhappily, "You're acting all high and mighty, as if this is your home and I'm the guest."

Chen Yuyan smiled and said, "Uncle, I've heard that you are a very loyal and hospitable person. Now that we're here, we won't treat ourselves as outsiders."

Yi Qiangzhun rolled his eyes at Chen Yuyan and said, "Once my daughter marries Ma Yunfei, I'll send you down the mountain. Girl, you're beautiful and virtuous, you won't have trouble finding a good man. Ma Yunfei isn't anything special. I've heard he's a gambling addict, and a weak woman like you can't subdue him. However, once he enters my family, my daughter has plenty of ways to control him."

Chen Yuyan retorted, "Uncle, actually I didn't want to marry Ma Yunfei at all. He held a knife to my neck and forced me to marry him. Now that your daughter has taken a liking to him, I can't wait to leave him."
