Upon hearing this, Mr. Xia sighed and said, "Daughter, you did the right thing. These past two days, the supply of yams has been very tight. We can sell them for 1.5 yuan each. It would be such a pity if these three truckloads of yams were snatched up by someone else."
"Dad, luckily I made a quick decision, otherwise, these three truckloads of yams would not belong to the Xia family."
"Daughter, like father, like daughter! You're getting shrewder and shrewder in business. You truly are my daughter, Xia Jiufa."
“Dad, I think Xiao Ma’s yams are of good quality. We can do business with him long-term.”
“Sure, I already gave my business card to Xiao Ma earlier, that's what I was planning to do. By the way, honey, go and chat with Xiao Ma a bit more, build some rapport, that way we'll have another supply channel.”
"Dad, what do you mean by this? Do you want me to seduce Little Horse?"
“Girl, I think Xiao Ma is a pretty honest guy, and he seems easy to fool. Win him over and get him to deliver goods to our company.”
"Dad, are you trying to use your daughter as bait?"
"Hehe... I just wanted you to chat with Little Mala for a bit."
"Dad, are you trying to kill Xiao Ma with Zhang Fei's big axe just because he's honest?"
"Hehe... Why not take advantage of him? Just now, I saw that Xiao Ma was eager to make a move, so I stabbed him. I didn't expect him to suddenly appear out of nowhere and almost ruin my plans."
"Dad, I'll obey your orders and try to win over Xiao Ma."
Xia Tian walked up to Ma Yunfei and asked, "Brother, you haven't had dinner yet, have you? Let me treat you to a meal."
Ma Yunfei shook his head and said, "In the summer, we brought our own dry food and ate it on the way. It's getting late now, and we have to head back. Let's have a get-together another time."
Summer said reluctantly, "Brother, now that you're leaving, I don't know when we'll be able to see each other again?"
"I'll be back to deliver soon, in less than ten days."
"Brother, next time you come to deliver goods, just drive your car directly to Jiufa Company. Don't worry, I won't try to lower the price again."
"All right."
Xia Tian took out his business card and handed it to Ma Yunfei: "Brother, you can contact me directly from now on. Although my dad is the general manager and I am just the general manager's assistant, I can still manage my dad's household."
"Heh... I saw it coming a long time ago, you have a way to deal with your dad."
"Brother, to tell you the truth, although my dad is a cunning old fox, I am a fox spirit. This is what they call: 'The devil is one foot tall, but the Tao is ten feet tall.'"
"Summer, don't talk about your dad like that."
"I was just joking, brother. I hope we can meet again soon."
Ma Yunfei bid farewell to summer and returned to Qinglong Town.
Since they didn't see the young widow's uncle Zhang Yishan this time, they didn't bring her any condiments.
The three trucks went straight back to the transport team.
Ma Yunfei went to Baixing Restaurant.
The young widow, her eyes red and swollen, greeted him with a somber expression, "Little brother, you're back so soon? Did you sell the yams?"
Ma Yunfei plopped down, clutching his chest, and said, "Sister Meng, your uncle suddenly had an accident, which really put me in a difficult position. I don't know who to sell the three truckloads of yams to. I'm so anxious I want to bang my head against the wall."
"Young man, who did you sell the yams to?"
"Hehe... It just goes to show: there are no coincidences in life. Last time, we rescued a girl who had been kidnapped by thugs in City A. Unexpectedly, this girl was the daughter of the boss of Jiufa Company. Jiufa Company specializes in agricultural and sideline products. Just when I was at my wit's end, I ran into this girl's father and sold the three truckloads of yams very smoothly."
"Ah! Little brother, you're truly a simpleton with a lucky heart."
"Perhaps this is what they call good deeds being rewarded. People should do more good deeds, and you never know when you will be blessed."
The young widow wiped away her tears and said, "I don't know when my uncle will be released?"
Ma Yunfei asked, "What exactly happened to your uncle?"
"Little brother, it's really embarrassing. My aunt hasn't been in good health these past few years and can't do 'that' with my uncle. So, my uncle goes to see prostitutes every now and then. I didn't expect that this time we'd run into a prostitution crackdown. My aunt said he might even be sentenced to prison."
The young widow began to sob as she spoke.
"Sister Meng, don't be sad. As the saying goes, 'Since you're here, make the best of it.' Maybe your uncle will be released after a few days in detention."
"Little brother, it's strange, but the other night I had a dream. I dreamt that my uncle was covered in blood and said to me, 'Niece, I'm going to die. After I die, you must take care of your aunt.' Little brother, do you think this dream foreshadows anything?"
"Sister Meng, what you think about during the day, you dream about at night. Dreams don't mean anything, nor can they predict anything."
"Little brother, my uncle is my only family. If something happens to him, I... I don't want to live anymore."
"Sister Meng, why are you so pessimistic and disappointed? I think your uncle will be fine. He just hangs out with a prostitute."
"Young man, I've inquired around, and this matter could be a big deal or a small deal. If someone can pull some strings, it can be turned into a small one, or even nothing at all. But if things aren't handled properly, it could escalate into a major problem."
The young widow's eyes were red and swollen, bloodshot; it seemed she had been crying all night.
Ma Yunfei sighed and said, "It's a pity I don't know anyone in City A, otherwise I would have tried to help your uncle."
Suddenly, Ma Yunfei remembered that Xia Tian was an acquaintance of his.
Perhaps, summer will provide a way to rescue the young widow's uncle.
Ma Yunfei said excitedly, "Sister Meng, I remember now. The girl I saved is from A City. Her family also runs a company. She might have a lot of connections in A City. I'll call her right away and ask."
"Young man, then I'll trouble you."
“Sister Meng, you are like my own sister, and your uncle is like my uncle. If something happens to him, I will do everything I can to save him.”
Ma Yunfei immediately went to the post office to call Xia Tian.
Summer had just started working when she received a call from Ma Yunfei.
"Ah! It's Brother Ma! Have you returned to Qinglong Town? Was the journey alright?"
"I have returned safely to Qinglong Town, and everything is fine."
“Brother Ma, I had a dream last night. I dreamt that you came to City A in a grand procession with ten trucks, but the trucks were empty. I asked you in confusion: Why did you come with empty trucks? You replied: My trucks are full of top-grade yams. I pointed at the trucks and asked: Look closely, the trucks are full of air.”
Ma Yunfei laughed and said, "Xia Tian, your dream is really strange. Since I brought a car to City A, it must be full of yams."
"Brother Ma, I haven't finished yet. Look at the car and you'll find that all the yams on board have been stolen on the way. You'll be so scared that you'll start crying and keep saying, 'I'm doomed! I've lost everything and will be in debt.'"
"Hehe... Summer, are you cursing me?"
"Brother Ma, I was startled awake. I looked at my watch and it was only 3 a.m. Ever since then, I haven't been able to fall back asleep."
