Gu Le pondered for a long time, tapping his knee with his fingers. After a while, he said, "Xiao Ma, the information you provided is very important. In the future, if you find anything unusual, please tell me immediately."
“Godfather, I think that if something happens to my uncle, it will definitely implicate you. That’s why I’m concerned about his safety.”
“Yes, your uncle is my relative, and I introduced him to me. If something happens to him, it will definitely affect me. This is what they call sharing both prosperity and adversity.”
"Godfather, you should remind Uncle to be careful and not cause any trouble."
Gu Le nodded.
Ma Yunfei bid farewell to the town mayor.
As soon as he stepped outside, he muttered to himself, "Hmph! Let's see if you still dare to let Gu Tian be your henchman."
Ma Yunfei lied to the town mayor, his intention being to warn the mayor that someone was already targeting Gu Tian, so that the mayor would no longer dare to use Gu Tian as a tool.
The town mayor only has Gu Tian's stick. As long as Gu Tian doesn't move, Ma Yunfei will be safe.
In addition, Ma Yunfei also wanted to show his loyalty to Gu Le.
Since eliminating Du Fei as a competitor, the yam sales station has been booming, collecting more than 10,000 kilograms of yams every day.
In just two months, Ma Yunfei made three more trips to B City and sold 500,000 jin of yams.
Now, Ma Yunfei has earned 600,000 yuan.
He excitedly said to Chen Yuyan, "Wife, if we put in a little more effort, we'll become millionaires."
Chen Yuyan sighed and said, "Honey, the more money we have, the less I dare to buy anything. Look, I've patched up two of my clothes. Also, our food has gotten worse lately. I used to buy tofu every now and then, but now I don't even dare to eat tofu."
“Wife, we have to pretend to be poor, but not to this extent. We still need to eat tofu, just buy less meat, fish and eggs. However, we can’t neglect Yueyue’s nutrition. How about this, every time you buy meat, buy half a catty or eight taels, and don’t always buy from the same place. Oh, and there’s another way, which is that the three of us can go to the Baixing Restaurant to improve our lives. Every time we go in through the back door of the Baixing Restaurant, we can eat in the young widow’s bedroom.”
Chen Yuyan sighed and said, "Our family clearly earned the money honestly and uprightly, but it's being made to look like we stole it."
"Wife, there's no other way. Look, in our remote little town, you can hardly find a rich person. If our family gets rich first, we'll become a thorn in people's side."
As the saying goes: misfortune strikes unexpectedly.
This means that disaster will strike suddenly when you are least expecting it.
That day, Ma Yunfei delivered goods to City B again. As soon as he returned to Qinglong Town, Chen Yuyan said nervously, "Honey, something was wrong yesterday. There were suddenly far fewer people delivering yams. We only received a little over 3,000 jin."
"Oh no! Has another competitor arrived?"
Ma Yunfei rushed to the Dongfeng Hotel. He ran to the backyard of the hotel and saw no sign of the yam.
Ma Yunfei asked the innkeeper, "Have any out-of-towners stayed here recently?"
The innkeeper shook his head and replied, "Lately, my inn has been deserted. I haven't had a single guest. If this continues, I'll have to close down."
Ma Yunfei then went to two other inns in town, but found no one buying yams.
That's strange. If no one is buying the yams, why is the business at the sales station so quiet?
Ma Yunfei wandered aimlessly around the town.
Suddenly, a sweet, delicate voice called out, "Brother Ma, it's been so long since I've seen you, I've missed you so much!"
Ma Yunfei turned around and saw that it was Erlv's girlfriend, Li Sha.
He greeted her with a smile: "Sasha, why are you missing me? You should be missing Erlv instead."
Li Sha curled her lip and said disdainfully, "Brother Ma, I'm increasingly looking down on Erlv. Look at him, he's like a lazy bum all day, sleeping on the recliner in the shop. I heard that his 'Number One Shop Under Heaven' doesn't make any money at all. If I marry him, won't I be starving?"
"Sasha, it's not as serious as you say. I heard that Erlv's shop is still making money."
"Hmph! A few days ago, I checked Erlv's accounts and found that he only earns a little over a hundred yuan a month."
“Sasha, don’t be so greedy. You can earn a hundred yuan a month, which is more than the town mayor earns. Do you know how much the mayor of Qinglong Town earns a month? Let me tell you, it’s only seventy-something yuan.”
Li Sha pouted and said, "Brother Ma, I heard you transport yams to the city every few days. You must have made a lot of money, right?"
Ma Yunfei patted his clothes and said, "Sasha, you can tell whether I've made money or not just by looking at my outfit. To be honest, the yam business really isn't profitable, and I'm even thinking of giving up."
Li Sha glanced at Ma Yunfei and said, "Brother Ma, don't forget, I, Li Sha, am no ordinary person. Don't underestimate me just because my father is a barber. I also come from a big city and have a natural business sense."
“Sasha, I’m not lying, the yam business really doesn’t make money.”
"Hmph! If the yam business wasn't profitable, no one would do it. But why are people still traveling thousands of miles to Qinglong Town to buy yams?"
Ma Yunfei asked in surprise, "Sasha, you said someone went to Qinglong Town to buy yams?"
"yes."
Ma Yunfei asked anxiously, "Where are those people who buy yams? I can't see them."
Li Sha kept everyone in suspense and said, "Brother Ma, don't forget, those who buy yams also know how to cut hair. In Qinglong Town, I'm the only barbershop there."
Ma Yunfei understood; it must be that those who bought the yams went to Li Sha's barbershop for a haircut.
“Sasha, where do those people live? I just went to three hotels, but I didn’t see any people buying yams.”
"Hehe... Brother Ma, you're looking everywhere for people who buy yams, it must be because the sales outlets are having a bad time."
"Yes, business at the sales outlets has plummeted these past two days. I'm wondering where all those who buy yams have gone."
"Brother Ma, do you want to know where those people who buy yams are?"
"Of course I want to know, Sasha, tell me quickly, where are they?"
Li Sha proudly raised her head and said smugly, "This information of mine is worth a fortune to you. You think I'll just casually reveal it? It's not that easy."
"Sasha, I'd like to invite you and Erlv to dinner."
Ma Yunfei didn't dare invite Li Sha to dinner alone because Li Sha was Erlv's girlfriend, and Erlv was petty and jealous.
