Chapter 7 Chapter 7 Broken down again and again
Marisa spends a little time every day going to the garage to see how her car is doing.
A good car is almost dismantled, it really hurts people to see it.
Regarding the garden house in Muzha, Ma Lisha was still in charge of dealing with it, contacting lawyers and negotiating with the landlord, most of which were arranged by her alone.
There are many things in the world, which are often "unexpected".
The owner of the house was divorcing his wife, and Marisa got involved in talking about the house and took care of the housework for others.
"Husbands and wives persuade each other but not separate" is the principle of persuading fights, and Ma Lisa manages some nosy affairs according to this principle.
She advised the owner: "Gambling is harmful. From ancient times to the present, you are not the only one who went bankrupt. In terms of the current situation, it is still too late to stop now. The reason why your wife is 'begging to go' is just because of 'in order Retreat to advance', I hope you will turn your back on the shore!"
She took great pains to find the owner's wife and persuade her: "Don't think about it, don't think about it, because of the kindness of the husband and wife for many years, the children have grown up so much, there is nothing you can't let go of, you My husband is addicted to gambling to the point of selling the house, I believe he will regret it himself, the house can be rebuilt after the house is sold, and it will be difficult for the couple to get divorced, so you must think more about it! "
The owner of the house told Ma Lisa: "I have earned the house through years of hard work. I can earn it or sell it. Is it worth asking her to show me around? What a gossip..."
The owner's wife also told Ma Lisa, "He thinks it's very easy for me to go home. As long as he swears in front of the ancestor's god that he will never gamble again, I don't care..." After she finished speaking, she burst into tears.
Ma Lisa also tried to find the children of the owner, hoping that they would also help persuade the parents.
Her enthusiasm can be said to be fed to the dogs. The owner's sons and daughters, the young ones don't care about things, and the older ones hang out with bad boys and girls, and they have learned a sloppy appearance.
This is also the relationship of the family’s lack of discipline. The father is addicted to gambling, the mother only cares about fighting with her husband, and the children develop independently. How can such a family end well?
What happened was like this. Because of her judo practice, Ma Lisa walked a few steps as if she was doing a swing dance. In some places where bad boys were mixed, everyone looked at each other as if "birds of a feather flock together". It also seems that they don't like each other, young people have a kind of contradictory psychology that has evolved into extreme abnormality, which is one of the reasons why they go astray.
Ma Lisa went to the place where the unscrupulous boys and girls gathered to find Fang Lintai (the eldest son of the owner) who was nicknamed "Three Elder Brothers", and was surrounded by a group of unscrupulous boys and girls whistling.They thought that Ma Lisa was the same kind of unscrupulous person as they were, and it didn't matter if they whistled and ate tofu.But Ma Lisa was in a hurry to get things done. When she asked for directions, she didn't know what to ask, or asked questions that were not answered, and deliberately made things difficult.
Ma Lisa has gotten into trouble a lot over the years, so her temper has also been cultivated. She was not angry until a delinquent boy touched her buttocks.
Ma Lisa slapped him first, but that slap was already extremely merciless. The bad boy had no external injuries other than five fingerprints on his face, or it was because the slap was too light, so caused a fight.
First time, one to one.
Ma Lisa happened to take the opportunity to practice judo, and she repeatedly warned: "It's too early for you to learn to fight. If you must make a fool of yourself, I will throw you eighteen somersaults, each with different tricks!"
Ma Lisa is not big, and she doesn't look like a martial arts character. Who would believe that she knows karate in addition to judo?
The bad boy was thrown badly.Sometimes "the sow sits on the mud", sometimes "the turtle turns over the ingot", and sometimes "the dog eats shit", anyway, it just gets up and then lies down...
There are many tricks of falling, even crawling and rolling, so he became angry because of this, and immediately called his so-called "brothers" to carry out a group fight.
Ma Lisa also got angry, and she didn't care about the number of them when her anger rose, and she started to use karate.
Her chopping palm weighs tens of catties, and a three-inch thick board can be split in half with one palm, not to mention that people are made of flesh, how can they withstand such a violent blow? The sound of "beep" is guaranteed to be bloody.
Those delinquent teenagers were originally a "rabble", and there was no one to lead them into any kind of organization. Most of them were caused by the abnormal family environment, which caused them to form groups and behave recklessly.
In terms of real fighting, each of them is still far behind.
It can be said that Ma Lisa is more than enough to deal with them alone. Her one-hand palm splitting performance is superb.It's like "cutting melons and vegetables", one palm at a time, and it falls down in response. Anyone who gets close to her body, Ma Lisa only needs one or two movements, and he is guaranteed to make him crawl on the ground...
The place where those unscrupulous boys and girls meet was originally half a street away from the ditch in front of the garden house.
When the fight started, Marisa walked towards a spacious place in order to use her hands and feet.
When they got to the side of the ditch, the guy who was beaten first jumped at him, and Ma Lisa caught his fist with both hands, moved to her arms, and elbowed him in the face with her elbow.Then he pulled his wrist to create a half-moon circle on the flat ground, stretched out his leg and hooked it, and the kid staggered and rolled down the ditch with his head down and his feet up, and he fell into the water with a splash.
That ditch, which seems to be full of scenery, is actually the sewer outlet ditch of Taipei City. All kinds of dirty water are collected in that ditch, and then discharged into the Tamsui River.
It didn't matter if I fell from this fall. When I got up, my body was covered in mud, like a mud man.It can be smelled from afar, and the smell is incomparable.
Seeing that shape, many delinquent teenagers laughed to themselves, and some even laughed out loud.
"You don't have to laugh, you go down too!" Ma Lisa was kicking up, when she lifted her foot, she was the second one to go down the ditch.
Followed by the third and the fourth... as long as they were grabbed by Ma Lisa, they all fell into the sewage ditch.
This fight can be said to be extremely enjoyable, it is no different from "practicing the style" with the human body.
Ma Lisa's performance was indeed brilliant enough. Some neighbors who lived in the vicinity hated those unscrupulous teenagers for making trouble and making troubles, and some people even applauded her.
"Good fight, good fight!"
Some people applaud and applaud, but Marisa is overwhelmed with joy.One palm at a time, I saw people continuously crawling and rolling into the ditch, including children who were watching.
"Oops..." It was too late when Marisa found out that it was terrible.
An innocent child was watching the fun by the ditch with his eyes wide open, when disaster suddenly struck. Ma Lisa only lifted his arms, and the child turned his head and fell into the ditch, covered in a large amount of mud , salty and smelly.
The kid who had been giggling when he came came was crying and crying.
His parents chased him out, swearing at the street as a shrew, and some advocated calling the police.
Ma Lisa said confidently, "Who can figure out whether they belong to the same gang? They practice beatings, and I really have to guard against them!"
"Do you think my son will look like a Taibao?..."
"The Tai Bao was also raised by his parents, but they were neglected in their family education and did not let them go on the right path, and no one had engraved words on their heads!" Ma Lisa said.
Finally the police arrived, and those unscrupulous boys and girls scattered like birds and beasts, and they thought they were unlucky after being beaten.Because most of them are registered with the police.When they entered the police station, they were even more troubled.
Ma Lisa is not bad, and some neighbors who have seen the road have testified for her, explaining the whole story.As for hitting the wrong person, Ma Lisa is willing to compensate him for the loss.
A round-neck sweater was torn, and he was compensated with a sweater. In addition, there was a scratch on the skin, and a small change was given to him to apply the red lotion, and the matter was over.
Ma Lisa is really a celebrity, and some police officers in the police station know her.
That happened to be the kidnapping incident of Tian Yidao, when Ma Lisa and the "hippie" villain had a big fight, and that policeman was transferred from that side of the police station.
"To be honest, the society really needs a few more people like you. Every time there is a chance to punish those evil people, they won't be so rampant!" said the policeman.
Ma Lisa was still complacent, and when she returned home, she exaggerated the facts and spoke vividly and vividly.
Ask her why the fight was to find the owner's eldest son.Why are you looking for the eldest son of the owner?It is to persuade the owner and his wife to fight.
Why bother?Because they got divorced.What is the reason for the divorce?Because the owner is addicted to gambling...
The problem is that the further you go, the further you go, and you have to go around a big circle to understand its cause and effect.
I sighed and said, "Please go to the negotiations to buy and sell houses. Why do you take care of other people's housework?"
She said: "It is only natural to do good deeds every day. How can we bear to see a family that is about to separate the broken couple?"
"It's hard for an upright official to decide on housework. Even if you have a more compassionate heart, you can't dissuade that house owner from gambling, and dissuade that young master from his family from being a guardian..."
"I'm just doing my best!"
"But you've got another fight, so why bother?"
Ma Lisa said: "What does this kind of fighting have to do with it? It's no different from doing calisthenics. You should exercise your body at about the same time!"
My mother also had her opinion, saying: "If you want to fight, you should beat up the owner first. This person, for gambling, even wants to lose his whole family!"
Marisa's car was repaired, and the owner of the repair shop informed her to go for a test drive. My good wife is active again, and she can forget food and sleep when playing with cars. When the car arrived at the factory, the owner of the repair shop went straight into my office and demanded money from me. "How much?" I have to do some calculations! "The total is 7,780 yuan. I have already paid 2,000 yuan, and I still have to pay 5,780 yuan!" The owner of the garage has already submitted the bill. Spending more than 20,000 yuan to buy a classic car is enough to be fooled. In addition, I paid driver Liao more than 6,000 yuan to repair the car. The car has been running for less than a week, and I have to pay another 7,000 yuan.How should this account be calculated? "7,000 yuan, it's a good deal to repair your car like a brand new one!" The owner of the garage said, "If you repair your car in another factory, it's no wonder that others don't charge you more than 10,000 yuan! " I was a little unconvinced and said, "Why do you calculate so cheaply?" "In good conscience, this car of yours is already over-aged. The reason why I give special preferential treatment is that I hope to attract some long-term business. If you are satisfied, please continue to take care of my car repair shop in the future!" "According to what you said, this car is still unreliable after being overhauled. It will still be dragged into the repair shop anytime and anywhere?" "No!" The boss of the garage immediately patted his chest and assured him, "If it breaks down within a week, I will take full responsibility and repair it for free..." "A week?" Ma Lisa yelled strangely, "You promise that there will be no problems within three months, don't you?" "Hey, ma'am, your car is twenty years old. Do you want to see how old it is to feed a child at twenty? This is the machine that will inevitably break down!" "Why didn't you say that before you repaired the car?" Ma Lisa was also a little angry. "Well, since you bought a car and it broke down, it needs to be repaired anyway, why don't you put it at home as a 'bonsai'?" The art of car repair is no different from "killing a dog to negotiate the price", it is enough to negotiate the price. It was written very clearly on the repair bill, all four tires were replaced with new ones, 800 yuan each, the fuel tank was cleaned, 500 yuan, sheet metal, 1,200 yuan... I suddenly thought of a question, why should all four tires be replaced with new ones? "The tires on the car are all old and tattered, and they will blow out anytime and anywhere, so it is safer to replace them with new ones." "So what to do with the replaced old tires?" I asked. "It can be used as a spare tire!" "Four spares?" "Of course, if you want, I can make spare tires for you..." It turned out that he didn't have a good mind at all, and none of the four spare tires were placed on the car.Whether or not he has changed to new tires is a question worth considering. This is the reason why cars are called luxury goods. When you don't understand cars and buy a car, it is tantamount to suffering. Now it is not only whether the tires of the car have been replaced, but also whether the carburetor, spark plug, sheet metal, and fuel tank have been washed, and whether the place that is enough to cause the car to break down has been repaired has become a problem. After the owner of the auto repair shop has set a price, whether he should pay it or there is still room for bargaining is a matter of learning. Marisa also began to wonder if those tires had ever been changed. Where is the difference between old and new tires?It is difficult to distinguish it as long as it has been spinning on the ground.Especially the inner tube, if you don't take it out for inspection, who can see it? Ma Lisa kicked it one by one. This method is used to test its air pressure. It is useless for laymen to kick. Can you try it out? She scratched her scalp, as if those tires were still the same ones, they hadn't been changed at all. "Have the tires really been changed?" she asked. "If not, I will be destroyed by heaven and earth, and I will be crushed to death by a car when I step out!" The owner of the garage swears. "I think it's still an old tire!" “It was refurbished!” "Why not get new tires?" "Hey, how much does a brand new tire cost? At least 1200 to 1500 yuan. I'm afraid the original ones will be out of stock!" "Then the four that have been replaced are completely second-hand?" she asked. "No! Those are refurbished tires! To be fair, the retreaded tires are stronger and more durable than brand new ones..." "If that's the case, there's no need for new tires at all?" "Tires are a thing of the past. Sometimes brand new ones explode faster!" It is not known what his theory is based on. At this moment, driver Liao happened to drive old Mr. Hu Gongdao to the factory. "Ah!" Ma Lisa was overjoyed, she said: "Driver Liao is the 'culprit' of the whole thing, we just need him to confront him!" As she spoke, she rushed towards Hu Gongdao's car. Mr. Hu Gongdao just got out of the car, and Ma Lisa passed towards him. He stepped on the accelerator, made a sharp turn, turned the car around, and went straight out of the factory gate. A cloud of dust rose up from behind the car, and it ran so fast that it disappeared in an instant. The owner of the garage is just begging for money, saying the car has undergone a complete overhaul.What can be used as proof? It is a fact that the car can be driven again, the brake part no longer leaks oil, and it is also a fact that there is no oil stain on the ground. "Taking the leather and stretching the tendons" is not the answer after all. Except for the four old tires that are not on the car, the rest of the expenses must be paid according to the bill. I jokingly asked Marisa: "You bought the car, and you also contacted for the repair. Why should I pay for it?" Ma Lisa stuck out her tongue and said, "If I pay the car repair fee again, you will eat at home for a whole month, and the money for small dishes will be gone!" The money had to be paid by me. Ma Lisa suggested: "The factory should pay the money. You bought the car, and it paid for your transportation!" "Factories are nowhere near supplying automobiles for transportation!" I said. "Then why does Mr. Hu Gongdao take a car?" "That was signed when the contract was signed, and it is one of the conditions for cooperation!" "That's too unfair. Since the factory makes money, you should also take a car!" "What are you thinking about?" "I want to sell you this car, including all the documents and the repair fee..." "If the factory wants to buy a car, it shouldn't buy such a costly car. It must be fuel-efficient and durable!" She said: "In fact, this kind of car is not too bad, but it is more expensive to maintain. If it consumes fuel, is a factory afraid of burning more cars every day?" Ma Lisa persuaded like this, it can be seen that she has other ulterior motives in her heart. After cross-examination, it turned out that it was the boss of the auto repair shop who made trouble again. The car being repaired in his repair shop has a 1,000 cc West German small car, milky white, two doors, and all the documents are complete. The owner intends to sell it. The boss of the car repair shop talked about it, how good it is, it is suitable for girls to use by themselves, and it only costs 45,000! Ma Lisa had already made up her mind. The car she bought, including the one cheated by driver Liao, and the cost of repairing the car, cost close to more than 40,000 yuan. If the car can be sold for more than 40,000 yuan, and the supplement is less than a few thousand yuan, then the 1,000 CC West German car can be bought.Can such wishful thinking be said to be played badly? I said, "Isn't it enough that you've bought a car and been scammed? Why are you so eager to get scammed a second time?" She said: "Buying a car doesn't have to be a scam every time!" There are four broken tires at the door of our apartment, and the four broken tires are definitely not from our car. The owner of the garage insisted that it was originally dismantled from our car, and he swore all kinds of evil oaths against the sky, it was really his fault. Anyway, at this time, it is already dead without proof. Who told you that you don't even know anything about repairing cars! The last time a person learns to be good, this is the first stage of being a car class. Four broken tires are placed at the bottom of the stairs at the entrance of the apartment, saying that it is useless, that it is bought with money, and that it is useful, it is disgusting to see. Look at those outer tires, they still look like tires, look at their inner tubes, they are riddled with holes, they are even uglier than a beggar's clothes, thanks to the owner of the car repair shop, he swore to God that it was ours. Unloaded from that car. Taipei City is densely populated, and there are many urchins in every residential alley. The four broken tires became toys for the urchins, who rolled the tires all over the alley, and sometimes fought and fought. It took a lot of thought to deal with the four broken tires, and the urchins couldn't take them as toys for a long time, and it would be a pity to throw them away. Marisa also plans to buy a big chain and string it up and lock it between the iron bars under the stairs. How troublesome is that?Many residents who live in the same apartment also find it an eyesore. In the end, it was Ma Lisa who made a shrewd decision, and she sold them for fifteen yuan each to a peddler who bought second-hand goods. It is said that hawkers can resell it to leather shoe shops, and the leather shoes with the soles of car tires are just right for it. The four broken tires earned 60 yuan, and they just bought a "water basin chicken", and the whole family had a tooth sacrifice. Marisa also enjoys having a car.The house on the Mucha side has also completed all the formalities, and only needs to pay the final installment before the house can be handed over. The problem was with the mother again, she couldn't pay the last installment.It is said that the difference was tens of thousands of yuan. She had to wait until her father's money from Hong Kong arrived before she could pay the final payment. As far as I know, my mother has already prepared the money to buy the house, why is there a shortage of tens of thousands of yuan?What's the point?There must be something strange in it! When I asked my mother, she smiled and didn't answer. Marisa also felt that something was wrong and asked her uncle.Lei Sanfeng said that he didn't know what, he couldn't figure it out at all. It is clear to the bystanders.Xiao Zhang and Xiao Li's wives often get together when "three are missing and one is missing". According to Xiao Li's wife, my mother has recently lost a lot of money. On average, each game is at least one or two thousand yuan, and ten games is almost ten to twenty thousand yuan. Playing cards day and night, counting two games a day, accumulating, it is not a small number. Lei Sanfeng said that the mangy man was not a "doctor", and he had never lost, except for the first two games at the beginning, after he called himself a "good dish". In addition, Lei Sanfeng often borrows money from his mother, and he has various reasons. For example, the loan owed by the school to the bank needs to be repaid with interest. The school has to pay the rent, and some students have difficulties at home... His reasons are almost all "loose words" in a vivid way, as if they were real.In fact, after Lei Sanfeng told the reason, even he himself forgot. How much money did Lei Sanfeng borrow from his mother?No one will know. According to Xiao Li's wife, she had heard with her own ears that Lei Sanfeng had various reasons for borrowing money, and he repeatedly told his mother: "Don't let Ma Lisa know..." This made Ma Lisa furious, she had expected this for a long time. Lei Sanfeng's bad habits are hard to change, and whoever gets closer to him will always be unclear about the money in the end. When Lei Sanfeng came to my house that day, Ma Lisa blocked him at the gate. "Just tell me how much money you borrowed from your mother!" She was furious and asked the teacher for the crime. Lei Sanfeng said: "I don't have much money, just because I'm inconvenient for a while..." "When did you have it handy?" "Hey, what's the point of turning around a few dollars in relation to relatives?" "You're just looking for embarrassing things to do!" "Borrowing some money is nothing to be ashamed of!" Lei Sanfeng seemed to have a reason. "When you play cards, you often don't even have the gambling capital. If you win money, you put it in your pocket. If you lose money, I will pay for you. It is said that if I save face for you like this, you should also keep it for me." With a little face, how can I still ask my mother to borrow money? How do you want me to behave in this family...?" "Marisa, what's the matter with you? After marrying a rich husband, you start to become a miser? What is money? 'If you don't bring it when you live, you don't take it when you die', whoever has money, spend more on him , Whoever has no money, lend him more, this is the way to make money, let alone we are relatives!" If it was someone else, Ma Lisa would have already slapped him with a split palm, but Lei Sanfeng is her uncle, who has grown up with her for a generation, so how can he use force against his elders? What's more, Lei Sanfeng has seventh degree in judo and fifth degree in karate, and she is several degrees higher than her in any aspect. If Ma Lisa doesn't make a move, she will only get beaten. She was furious, but she couldn't vent this nameless anger, so she could only block the door of the apartment, preventing her uncle from entering. "You have to make it clear how much money you borrowed, otherwise I will refuse you to enter my house again in the future!" She said with her hands on her hips. Lei Sanfeng smirked for a while, and said, "Ma Lisa, don't get me wrong, I am your elder, and now, I am your mother-in-law's guest, and you have no right to interfere with our elders making friends!" Ma Lisa said: "But I have to do this to save the face of my mother's family!" Lei Sanfeng was also very upset, and said: "After all, it's still a matter of money. What's so great about borrowing a few dollars from your in-law's family!" "I just pay attention to this aspect!" "Borrowing money is at best repaying money..." "I never heard that you will pay back the money. When I was at home, I only saw someone asking for debts!" "You girl really deserves a beating!" "Don't think that you are an elder. I can tell my mother about the matter. I can't do anything to you, but my mother can not spare you!" When the old and the young were arguing vigorously, a daredevil came, with a bald head, mouse eyes, and a hooked nose. It was the gambler's uncle Zhang with dysentery. "Hey, why did the two of you chat at the gate? I arrived just in time, just in time to open the table!" Mandiarrhea said. Ma Lisa stood in front of the door and said, "Don't come in!" "What's the matter? You two seem to be blushing and thick-necked. Is there something wrong?" Uncle Zhang kept looking at the two of them. "How much money have you won in my family in total? You don't need to mention the past account, so you should be able to stop?" "What's going on?" He deliberately pretended to be confused. "Ma Lisa, how can you be rude to Uncle Zhang?" Lei Sanfeng scolded. "What uncle Zhang is dirty? You have come to my house to play tricks!" Ma Lisa had already found someone to vent her anger on. "Oh, what an insult!" Ma Lisa touched the tip of the mangy head's nose with her fingers, and said with a stern face: "You are forbidden to come to my house again!" "Did I do something wrong?" The greatest ability of anyone who eats this kind of food is to be able to cheat! Lei Sanfeng was anxious and said, "Ma Lisa, don't be rude to Uncle Zhang!" Marisa said: "Is it rude, I want to beat him!" Diarrhea jumped up and said, "Are you going to beat me? Why did you beat me? What did I do wrong..." "Bah!" Ma Lisa couldn't help but slap her with a wave of her hand. This palm split, Ma Lisa was furious from the heart, without measure, in an instant, I saw that the mouth and nose of the mangled head were covered with blood. "Hey, Ma Lisa, how can you hit someone?" Lei Sanfeng growled. "Anyone who is a doctor will be beaten!" Ma Lisa said angrily. "Langzhong? What an insult, have I lied to you about something?" Mandiarrhea has the attitude of "a dog's power", and he relies on Lei Sanfeng to back him up. Without saying a word, Ma Lisa rushed forward and gave Mandia a somersault. This guy looks dangerous, but he is a person with the power of "hands-free chicken". When Ma Lisa flicked lightly, he threw a "Dogs eat shit", his face was black, blood and mud mixed together. "Rebellion, rebellion!" Lei Sanfeng yelled strangely, trying to stop Ma Lisa from continuing to fight. Just as he stretched out his hand, Marisa had already slapped him. "Ah, you actually made a move on me?" Lei Sanfeng said angrily, "I taught you all your kung fu!" Ma Lisa said: "If anyone shames my natal family, I will not recognize anyone!" Diarrhea got up from the ground, looking in a state of distress, he wept and said, "If there is such a niece in my family, I must kill her!" "Haven't you been beaten enough?" She stepped forward, and the mangy head hurried away. One chased and the other ran, the performance seemed to be a farce, but the people watching the excitement in the alley gradually gathered up.Especially there are so many urchins in this alley, they applaud and applaud one by one. "No more fights!" Lei Sanfeng shouted. "If you have the guts to walk into my house again, I'll hit you if I see you!" Ma Lisa said again. Mandiarrhea vented all his grievances towards Lei Sanfeng, saying, "You invited me to this place because I was beaten..." How can Lei Sanfeng answer?Usually, he is also a troublemaker outside, but there is nothing he can do about Ma Lisa. It is true that Ma Lisa has been spoiled since she was a child, especially when her mother was widowed when she was young, so she raised such a child. The only one who can discipline Lei Sanfeng is Mrs. Ma. Lei Sanfeng is afraid of his sister, so he gives in to Ma Lisa. He really doesn't dare to teach Ma Lisa a lesson. "I think it's unlucky!" Mandiarrhea walked down the steps, turned around and slipped away. Ma Lisa pointed to her uncle again and said, "If you don't change your old habits, I will also prohibit you from playing cards in my house!" "You really treat uncle as an enemy!" "Tell me how much money you borrowed, and I will try to repay it for you!" "Don't worry about it, I will pay back my debts myself!" "You never have the habit of paying back!" "It's none of your business whether you pay back the money or not!" Lei Sanfeng felt that he was bored, and he also needed to go down the steps, especially when the crowd surrounded him to watch the fun.He said: "I can't discipline you, your mother will discipline you and teach you how to treat your elders!" Ma Lisa said: "Do you still have the guts to tell my mother? I really admire your courage!" "Let's see!" He turned his head and left. Ma Lisa seemed to be full of resentment, and she roared to the crowd watching: "What else is there to see? Are you really free?" She climbed up the stairs angrily, and when she raised her head suddenly, she found that the people watching the excitement were not only the crowd around the front door, but people were standing on many balconies of that apartment. Worst of all, Mama was on the terrace too, rapt in those thick glasses, for how long she had been standing there, Marisa had no idea. Aunt Chen was also standing on the arcade with Tian Yidao, and she was singing a hymn, "Let God give me courage." Ma Lisa was in a nervous mood, as if she was embarrassed by her mother-in-law who found her fighting in the alley. When Ma Lisa walked in the door, her mother smiled and said to her: "Is the person you hit just now a man with dysentery?" Ma Lisa blushed, "That's the one with the surname Zhang!" Mom said: "Good job!" Marisa was very surprised and said, "When you say you played well, which aspect do you mean?" "This guy is very unruly at cards and often steals cards!" "Since you know that he steals cards, why do you still play cards with him?" "Oh, we often miss one of three, and he is your uncle's friend, so it's hard to get along!" Ma Lisa's face flushed, she was tongue-tied, not knowing how to explain to her uncle. "Why did you hit him?" Mom asked again. "It's because he stole cards!" "How did you know? Who told you?" "I guess this way, haven't you lost a lot of money recently?" Ma Lisa said. "Did you hit someone based on guesswork?" "I think I hit the right..." My mother clapped her hands and said, "Look at the situation, I can't make any cards today. Let's go to the new house!" At this time, Mrs. Chen slipped to Ma Lisa's side and said secretly: "I prayed for you when you were fighting and sang music poems. Please God give you strength! God has appeared!" "How do you know God has manifested?" "Well, I saw that you pushed him gently, and he fell into a big somersault. Who has the strength? For a moment, you barely moved, and he crawled all over the ground. Who can Has this power? In the New Testament, the divine power Samson was only killed by Dana Li, cut off the hair bestowed by the divine power, and was thrown into the prison to do hard labor. Afterwards, he prayed to God and gave him divine power, so He can tear down the temples of the Romans..." Marisa laughed it off.
Dad has sent another remittance, enough to pay for the garden house in Muzha, and there is still a lot left. After twists and turns, the garden house was finally sold.Marisa and Mom started to get busy, and they hired painters to redecorate. Look at the scenery, the local environment is indeed good.Surrounded by mountains and rivers, the air is fresh, it seems like a villa for the elderly to retreat to. Ma Lisa was busy buying furniture with her mother again, and Xiao Zhang and Li's wife also mobilized. I believe it's only these few days. My mother didn't play cards or get sick. Her spirit is much better when people are happy and happy. The furniture was moved to a new house, and a new problem came again. No one would take care of the house. The location of the garden house was remote, and it was easy to attract thieves. The furniture was moved away by car, including even the electric bubble glass windows. During the day, there is no big problem, Xiao Zhang and Xiao Li's wife can sit there, but the night is the most annoying. Ma Lisa once discussed with Mrs. Chen, hoping that she would go there to help for a few days, and she would come back after "joining the gang" and her mother's family hired another servant. My mother has her superstitions. To join a group, you must choose a good date, and everything must be auspicious. The day of "joining the group" is an "auspicious day" selected, but it will take several days. Mrs. Chen rejected Ma Lisa's request, saying, "I won't go to places where hymns are not allowed!" "Who will forbid you to sing hymns?" "Huh, the old lady often complains, she is not happy to listen to the hymns, she said: That is the song sung by the foreign Bodhisattva!" Ma Lisa said: "The old lady is busy adding all kinds of things these days. She will rarely go to the new house. You stay there to look after the house and sing whatever you like!" "I will not go!" "Why not?" "Nobody listens to my hymns, I won't go!" Marisa stomped her feet again and said, "You sing hymns at home, and no one listens to you!" "Why not?" "Who? Who?" "Tian Yidao, Tian Erdao! Hey, Tian Erdao is really good now. Every time she hears me singing hymns, she will stare, puff her mouth, and imitate me! I think, you When my two children grow up, they will definitely learn from me and believe in my Lord Christ!" "Don't talk about that now, I need you to go to Muzha to see the house!" Mrs. Chen didn't answer, just sang a hymn and slipped into the kitchen, making Ma Lisa so angry that "the seven orifices were filled with smoke". They had no choice but to seek help from the helper agency, and invited a young servant girl who was fat and white, and their mother took a fancy to her for being neat and tidy. 可是这位下女甚为娇小，听说晚间只留她一个人在那儿看屋，她吓得哇啦哇啦的直哭，卷起包袱，就此辞工不干了。 这问题自是要和佣工介绍所交涉的，他们取了介绍费，连半天的时间也没有待，下女就跑掉了，那除非是他们退还介绍费。 第二天，佣工介绍所带来了一位“欧巴桑”，一看而知，那是老资格的佣人了。 她好像巡逻什么东西似的，整幢屋子由上至下每一个角隅都看过了之后，说： “这样大的一幢屋子，至少也要三个佣人才行，洗衣裳的、烧饭的、打扫院子的！一个人做不了！” 马莉莎说：“你做烧饭的？还是洗衣裳的？或是打扫的呢？” 她说：“三样全做也行，那就要三份工钱！” “一份工钱是多少呢？” “八百！” “三份就是二千四了！” 欧巴桑也笑，说：“假如一个人做的话，至少也要两千元，钱少了可真受不了，屋子这样大，院子也这样大，七八间房间，上下打扫，包括洗衣裳烧饭还要抹玻璃窗，十多个钟头也忙不了！” 马莉莎说：“屋子里只有一个人！有时候顶多也不过两个人！” 欧巴桑哪肯相信，她的眼睛横扫了屋子，包括田一刀，老老少少的，她说：“一个人要这样大的屋子干什么，你们又不供佛堂？” “真的！只是一个人住！”马莉莎再声明一次。 “这样好了，算一千八百元！”她又问：“人多人少在其次，你们打不打牌的？如是时常打牌，工钱便可以少算，算一千五好了……一千四不能再少了！”她的确是一位老资格的女佣了，连打牌的好处也都懂，可以说明，她在“海派”的人家也做过事呢。 “工钱一千元！”马莉莎很坚定地说：“这种工钱在台北市也不算少了，而且每天打牌，你还有外快可拿！” “你们打多大的牌呢？”她显现出那副贪婪的神色。 "You don't care!" “既然每天打牌，一定要多买小菜了？” “当然，有客人打牌时就多买小菜，但是假如没有客人时，也许就不买小菜了！”马莉莎对她的查根问柢已渐开始有点不耐烦了。 “好的，什么时候开始呢？” “今天就可以开始，不过我们搬家进来还需要两天！” “啊，我明白了，你们要我先看房子！”欧巴桑真是经验丰富呢。 “按照佣工介绍所的规矩，也要先试用三天！” “但是我们也有规矩，看房子要一天算做两天！” 只相差一两天的时间就是很起码的问题，妈妈也帮同劝告，叫马莉莎不必为此小事争执下去。 好容易才算是谈妥了一个女佣人。 但欧巴桑可谓是真的资格老到，她回佣工介绍所去取了行李，立刻就似模似样地开始工作，手脚还相当的干净利落，屋子内粉刷留下的灰烬尘垢立刻清扫得干干净净。 只见她忙出忙进的，大桶大桶的垃圾向外清除，新粉刷的屋子配上了新的家具，整间房子就有了新的气氛。 第二天，大家帮同装上了窗帘布，购置的家具分批运至，麻将间也布置好了。 电冰箱、电视机，也相继进了屋子，一切筹备尽善，这时只等着“入伙”了。
“天有不测风云，人有旦夕祸福”，入伙的那一天偏巧台风正要光临。 天气就像台风演奏前奏曲一样，不时风，不时雨，又不时地出太阳。 广播电台、电视机，都不时地在报告着台风的动态，呼吁市民作防台的准备，凡低洼地区居民及早迁移…… “入伙”的一天，遇上这样的天气，也是够杀风景的了，好在那是妈妈自己挑选的“黄道吉日”，无法怨天尤人了。 这天到的客人并不多，还是那几位最基本的，如小张的太太、小李的太太、胡公道夫人、王文娟两姊妹，都是女客，男客只来了一位，就是马莉莎的舅父雷三封。 雷三封特别声明，他是奉马莉莎的妈妈之命送礼物来的。 马老太太给她的亲家母送来了一盏台灯，上面还贴有一张红纸，上写“乔迁志喜”四个大字，可谓是礼貌周到了。 其实这是马莉莎提醒她的妈妈这样做的，她自己买了台灯，送到柔道学校去，让马太太再派人送回来，她就有着顾全面子的习惯。 可是马莉莎却没有想到送台灯来的竟派了雷三封呢。 “呀！今天真是打牌的好天气！”妈妈高兴了，她念念不忘是她的那间新布置的麻将间，还未有启用过呢。 她已经一再请人参观她的麻将间了，各项的设备尽善尽美，以它的面积而言，至少可以开两桌麻将。 她每一项事物都准备得十分周到，好像是经过专家设计似的。 可是，到这时候才发现缺少了一项最重要的东西——没有麻将牌。 这不是天大的笑话吗？设备完善的麻将间没有麻将牌和筹码。记得西洋有这么一个故事，世界上一个著名的都市，有一所设计至为完善的邮政大厦揭幕。政要贵人光临剪彩，招待各界参观。等到典礼如仪之后，发现忘记了装设邮筒。 这情形和麻将间没有麻将不是一样的可笑吗？ 妈妈很感觉到尴尬，责备马莉莎说：“怎么搞的，你为什么不提醒我一声：该买几副麻将牌的！” 马莉莎说：“我以为你早准备好了！” “唉，今天买这，明天还那，谁想到会忘记买麻将牌呢！” “照说是应该由香港带来的麻将牌比较漂亮，日后想办法带个一两副来就是了！” “现在怎么办呢？” “今天不搓牌也可以嘛，台风正要光临，每一个客人都是要早回家的！” “那怎可以给大家扫兴呢？” “客人并不一定都很爱搓牌的，比喻说，胡老太太早就想回家了，小李的太太是无所谓，王文娟王文美她们吃了晚饭就要走的！” “晚饭时不是每一位太太的先生都会到吗？” “他们都不是搓牌的角色！” “不用管，有麻将间没有牌，会被人笑话的，快替我想办法去买两副！” “连天大雨，要跑回台北市去……” “你不是有汽车吗？要不然，要汽车何用呢？”妈妈已经开始情急了，她是打算命令马莉莎去做。 其实马莉莎是不希望她的舅父雷三封再和妈妈坐上麻将桌子。 “我回家去将家里的那副麻将牌拿来算了！”她最后下决定说。 “一副牌怎么够呢？” “刮台风时所有的店铺都提早打烊，关上铺门，休想买到东西！” “唉，那么你就快回家去，将你的那副牌先送来再说！” 马莉莎不得不从，她冒着风雨，自行驾车去了。 除了妈妈和雷三封两人想坐上麻将桌之外，其他的几个人都盼望着想提早回家去。她们是碍在马莉莎的面子，谁也没肯做声。 这一段时间是很难打发的，台风来得太不是时候！ 马莉莎冒着风雨，独自驾车由木栅奔台北，回到家中，取了麻将牌和筹码，还有麻将尺麻将桌布等物，卷了一大包。复又由台北赶往木栅。 她的驾驶技术仅是刚入门的阶段，经验可是一点也没有的。 天雨路滑，加上经年失修的路面，全是坑洼，一些深洼的破坑被雨水填满了，连有丰富驾驶经验的人也会上当的。 马莉莎在回程的路上后轮陷在泥坑里。向前进汽车的力量不够，向后退又怕会滑进稻田，真是进退两难呢。 在公路的半途上，呼天不应唤地不灵。她还算是有办法的，跑到附近的农家，雇请几名农人帮忙推车。 暴雨连天，竹杠可敲大了，还要说尽好话，好容易连拉带推算是将那辆汽车推出了泥坑，马莉莎可浑身淋得湿透。光着脚，半身是烂泥巴。 她回到木栅时，大家乍眼看去，还以为是疯人院里跑出来的病人。 她的功劳不可磨灭，至少麻将牌是送到了。 麻将间内透出来的是滴滴嗒嗒的声音，原来是马莉莎的舅父雷三封出的好主意。 为了打发那段“空闲”时间，他借用了一只饭碗教大家掷骰子。 骰子的掷法纯台湾式的，俗称为“掷唏巴”！要用六枚骰子去投，所以声响显得特别的吵耳。 小张和小李对这些怪名堂都很感兴趣，他们抵步不久就玩上了。加上王文娟两姊妹，她俩对搓麻将学了很久，老是“进不了门”。可是投骰子她们一学就会，还十分的起劲呢。 马莉莎有了这样一个舅父，也是够她伤脑筋的了。 她一身淋得湿透，前两天才洗头做好的头发，这时像“清挂面”，不成一个形状了。光着两条大腿，沾满了污泥，肚子里的一股怨气正无处发作呢。 她又要找舅父的麻烦了。 刚好这时候胡公道老先生和我一起到达，我离开工厂时正好乘胡公道老先生的汽车而来，他是专程为道贺而来的，进门就大嚷恭喜，其实他的太太在当天一早就把礼物送到了。到底，胡公道老先生比我们长上一辈，又是工厂的董事长，马莉莎得对他礼貌一些。 她失去了发脾气的机会，溜进了浴间，将泥垢洗涤干净，借了妈妈的一身衣裳。当然那是很不称身的，两个人的体型就不对。 她穿了那身的衣裳，简直和马戏班的小丑差不多呢，我没敢笑。
Notes:
Marisa's car was repaired, and the owner of the repair shop informed her to go for a test drive. My good wife is active again, and she can forget food and sleep when playing with cars. When the car arrived at the factory, the owner of the repair shop went straight into my office and demanded money from me. "How much?" I have to do some calculations! "The total is 7,780 yuan. I have already paid 2,000 yuan, and I still have to pay 5,780 yuan!" The owner of the garage has already submitted the bill. Spending more than 20,000 yuan to buy a classic car is enough to be fooled. In addition, I paid driver Liao more than 6,000 yuan to repair the car. The car has been running for less than a week, and I have to pay another 7,000 yuan.How should this account be calculated? "7,000 yuan, it's a good deal to repair your car like a brand new one!" The owner of the garage said, "If you repair your car in another factory, it's no wonder that others don't charge you more than 10,000 yuan! " I was a little unconvinced and said, "Why do you calculate so cheaply?" "In good conscience, this car of yours is already over-aged. The reason why I give special preferential treatment is that I hope to attract some long-term business. If you are satisfied, please continue to take care of my car repair shop in the future!" "According to what you said, this car is still unreliable after being overhauled. It will still be dragged into the repair shop anytime and anywhere?" "No!" The boss of the garage immediately patted his chest and assured him, "If it breaks down within a week, I will take full responsibility and repair it for free..." "A week?" Ma Lisa yelled strangely, "You promise that there will be no problems within three months, don't you?" "Hey, ma'am, your car is twenty years old. Do you want to see how old it is to feed a child at twenty? This is the machine that will inevitably break down!" "Why didn't you say that before you repaired the car?" Ma Lisa was also a little angry. "Well, since you bought a car and it broke down, it needs to be repaired anyway, why don't you put it at home as a 'bonsai'?" The art of car repair is no different from "killing a dog to negotiate the price", it is enough to negotiate the price. It was written very clearly on the repair bill, all four tires were replaced with new ones, 800 yuan each, the fuel tank was cleaned, 500 yuan, sheet metal, 1,200 yuan... I suddenly thought of a question, why should all four tires be replaced with new ones? "The tires on the car are all old and tattered, and they will blow out anytime and anywhere, so it is safer to replace them with new ones." "So what to do with the replaced old tires?" I asked. "It can be used as a spare tire!" "Four spares?" "Of course, if you want, I can make spare tires for you..." It turned out that he didn't have a good mind at all, and none of the four spare tires were placed on the car.Whether or not he has changed to new tires is a question worth considering. This is the reason why cars are called luxury goods. When you don't understand cars and buy a car, it is tantamount to suffering. Now it is not only whether the tires of the car have been replaced, but also whether the carburetor, spark plug, sheet metal, and fuel tank have been washed, and whether the place that is enough to cause the car to break down has been repaired has become a problem. After the owner of the auto repair shop has set a price, whether he should pay it or there is still room for bargaining is a matter of learning. Marisa also began to wonder if those tires had ever been changed. Where is the difference between old and new tires?It is difficult to distinguish it as long as it has been spinning on the ground.Especially the inner tube, if you don't take it out for inspection, who can see it? Ma Lisa kicked it one by one. This method is used to test its air pressure. It is useless for laymen to kick. Can you try it out? She scratched her scalp, as if those tires were still the same ones, they hadn't been changed at all. "Have the tires really been changed?" she asked. "If not, I will be destroyed by heaven and earth, and I will be crushed to death by a car when I step out!" The owner of the garage swears. "I think it's still an old tire!" “It was refurbished!” "Why not get new tires?" "Hey, how much does a brand new tire cost? At least 1200 to 1500 yuan. I'm afraid the original ones will be out of stock!" "Then the four that have been replaced are completely second-hand?" she asked. "No! Those are refurbished tires! To be fair, the retreaded tires are stronger and more durable than brand new ones..." "If that's the case, there's no need for new tires at all?" "Tires are a thing of the past. Sometimes brand new ones explode faster!" It is not known what his theory is based on. At this moment, driver Liao happened to drive old Mr. Hu Gongdao to the factory. "Ah!" Ma Lisa was overjoyed, she said: "Driver Liao is the 'culprit' of the whole thing, we just need him to confront him!" As she spoke, she rushed towards Hu Gongdao's car. Mr. Hu Gongdao just got out of the car, and Ma Lisa passed towards him. He stepped on the accelerator, made a sharp turn, turned the car around, and went straight out of the factory gate. A cloud of dust rose up from behind the car, and it ran so fast that it disappeared in an instant. The owner of the garage is just begging for money, saying the car has undergone a complete overhaul.What can be used as proof? It is a fact that the car can be driven again, the brake part no longer leaks oil, and it is also a fact that there is no oil stain on the ground. "Taking the leather and stretching the tendons" is not the answer after all. Except for the four old tires that are not on the car, the rest of the expenses must be paid according to the bill. I jokingly asked Marisa: "You bought the car, and you also contacted for the repair. Why should I pay for it?" Ma Lisa stuck out her tongue and said, "If I pay the car repair fee again, you will eat at home for a whole month, and the money for small dishes will be gone!" The money had to be paid by me. Ma Lisa suggested: "The factory should pay the money. You bought the car, and it paid for your transportation!" "Factories are nowhere near supplying automobiles for transportation!" I said. "Then why does Mr. Hu Gongdao take a car?" "That was signed when the contract was signed, and it is one of the conditions for cooperation!" "That's too unfair. Since the factory makes money, you should also take a car!" "What are you thinking about?" "I want to sell you this car, including all the documents and the repair fee..." "If the factory wants to buy a car, it shouldn't buy such a costly car. It must be fuel-efficient and durable!" She said: "In fact, this kind of car is not too bad, but it is more expensive to maintain. If it consumes fuel, is a factory afraid of burning more cars every day?" Ma Lisa persuaded like this, it can be seen that she has other ulterior motives in her heart. After cross-examination, it turned out that it was the boss of the auto repair shop who made trouble again. The car being repaired in his repair shop has a 1,000 cc West German small car, milky white, two doors, and all the documents are complete. The owner intends to sell it. The boss of the car repair shop talked about it, how good it is, it is suitable for girls to use by themselves, and it only costs 45,000! Ma Lisa had already made up her mind. The car she bought, including the one cheated by driver Liao, and the cost of repairing the car, cost close to more than 40,000 yuan. If the car can be sold for more than 40,000 yuan, and the supplement is less than a few thousand yuan, then the 1,000 CC West German car can be bought.Can such wishful thinking be said to be played badly? I said, "Isn't it enough that you've bought a car and been scammed? Why are you so eager to get scammed a second time?" She said: "Buying a car doesn't have to be a scam every time!" There are four broken tires at the door of our apartment, and the four broken tires are definitely not from our car. The owner of the garage insisted that it was originally dismantled from our car, and he swore all kinds of evil oaths against the sky, it was really his fault. Anyway, at this time, it is already dead without proof. Who told you that you don't even know anything about repairing cars! The last time a person learns to be good, this is the first stage of being a car class. Four broken tires are placed at the bottom of the stairs at the entrance of the apartment, saying that it is useless, that it is bought with money, and that it is useful, it is disgusting to see. Look at those outer tires, they still look like tires, look at their inner tubes, they are riddled with holes, they are even uglier than a beggar's clothes, thanks to the owner of the car repair shop, he swore to God that it was ours. Unloaded from that car. Taipei City is densely populated, and there are many urchins in every residential alley. The four broken tires became toys for the urchins, who rolled the tires all over the alley, and sometimes fought and fought. It took a lot of thought to deal with the four broken tires, and the urchins couldn't take them as toys for a long time, and it would be a pity to throw them away. Marisa also plans to buy a big chain and string it up and lock it between the iron bars under the stairs. How troublesome is that?Many residents who live in the same apartment also find it an eyesore. In the end, it was Ma Lisa who made a shrewd decision, and she sold them for fifteen yuan each to a peddler who bought second-hand goods. It is said that hawkers can resell it to leather shoe shops, and the leather shoes with the soles of car tires are just right for it. The four broken tires earned 60 yuan, and they just bought a "water basin chicken", and the whole family had a tooth sacrifice. Marisa also enjoys having a car.The house on the Mucha side has also completed all the formalities, and only needs to pay the final installment before the house can be handed over. The problem was with the mother again, she couldn't pay the last installment.It is said that the difference was tens of thousands of yuan. She had to wait until her father's money from Hong Kong arrived before she could pay the final payment. As far as I know, my mother has already prepared the money to buy the house, why is there a shortage of tens of thousands of yuan?What's the point?There must be something strange in it! When I asked my mother, she smiled and didn't answer. Marisa also felt that something was wrong and asked her uncle.Lei Sanfeng said that he didn't know what, he couldn't figure it out at all. It is clear to the bystanders.Xiao Zhang and Xiao Li's wives often get together when "three are missing and one is missing". According to Xiao Li's wife, my mother has recently lost a lot of money. On average, each game is at least one or two thousand yuan, and ten games is almost ten to twenty thousand yuan. Playing cards day and night, counting two games a day, accumulating, it is not a small number. Lei Sanfeng said that the mangy man was not a "doctor", and he had never lost, except for the first two games at the beginning, after he called himself a "good dish". In addition, Lei Sanfeng often borrows money from his mother, and he has various reasons. For example, the loan owed by the school to the bank needs to be repaid with interest. The school has to pay the rent, and some students have difficulties at home... His reasons are almost all "loose words" in a vivid way, as if they were real.In fact, after Lei Sanfeng told the reason, even he himself forgot. How much money did Lei Sanfeng borrow from his mother?No one will know. According to Xiao Li's wife, she had heard with her own ears that Lei Sanfeng had various reasons for borrowing money, and he repeatedly told his mother: "Don't let Ma Lisa know..." This made Ma Lisa furious, she had expected this for a long time. Lei Sanfeng's bad habits are hard to change, and whoever gets closer to him will always be unclear about the money in the end. When Lei Sanfeng came to my house that day, Ma Lisa blocked him at the gate. "Just tell me how much money you borrowed from your mother!" She was furious and asked the teacher for the crime. Lei Sanfeng said: "I don't have much money, just because I'm inconvenient for a while..." "When did you have it handy?" "Hey, what's the point of turning around a few dollars in relation to relatives?" "You're just looking for embarrassing things to do!" "Borrowing some money is nothing to be ashamed of!" Lei Sanfeng seemed to have a reason. "When you play cards, you often don't even have the gambling capital. If you win money, you put it in your pocket. If you lose money, I will pay for you. It is said that if I save face for you like this, you should also keep it for me." With a little face, how can I still ask my mother to borrow money? How do you want me to behave in this family...?" "Marisa, what's the matter with you? After marrying a rich husband, you start to become a miser? What is money? 'If you don't bring it when you live, you don't take it when you die', whoever has money, spend more on him , Whoever has no money, lend him more, this is the way to make money, let alone we are relatives!" If it was someone else, Ma Lisa would have already slapped him with a split palm, but Lei Sanfeng is her uncle, who has grown up with her for a generation, so how can he use force against his elders? What's more, Lei Sanfeng has seventh degree in judo and fifth degree in karate, and she is several degrees higher than her in any aspect. If Ma Lisa doesn't make a move, she will only get beaten. She was furious, but she couldn't vent this nameless anger, so she could only block the door of the apartment, preventing her uncle from entering. "You have to make it clear how much money you borrowed, otherwise I will refuse you to enter my house again in the future!" She said with her hands on her hips. Lei Sanfeng smirked for a while, and said, "Ma Lisa, don't get me wrong, I am your elder, and now, I am your mother-in-law's guest, and you have no right to interfere with our elders making friends!" Ma Lisa said: "But I have to do this to save the face of my mother's family!" Lei Sanfeng was also very upset, and said: "After all, it's still a matter of money. What's so great about borrowing a few dollars from your in-law's family!" "I just pay attention to this aspect!" "Borrowing money is at best repaying money..." "I never heard that you will pay back the money. When I was at home, I only saw someone asking for debts!" "You girl really deserves a beating!" "Don't think that you are an elder. I can tell my mother about the matter. I can't do anything to you, but my mother can not spare you!" When the old and the young were arguing vigorously, a daredevil came, with a bald head, mouse eyes, and a hooked nose. It was the gambler's uncle Zhang with dysentery. "Hey, why did the two of you chat at the gate? I arrived just in time, just in time to open the table!" Mandiarrhea said. Ma Lisa stood in front of the door and said, "Don't come in!" "What's the matter? You two seem to be blushing and thick-necked. Is there something wrong?" Uncle Zhang kept looking at the two of them. "How much money have you won in my family in total? You don't need to mention the past account, so you should be able to stop?" "What's going on?" He deliberately pretended to be confused. "Ma Lisa, how can you be rude to Uncle Zhang?" Lei Sanfeng scolded. "What uncle Zhang is dirty? You have come to my house to play tricks!" Ma Lisa had already found someone to vent her anger on. "Oh, what an insult!" Ma Lisa touched the tip of the mangy head's nose with her fingers, and said with a stern face: "You are forbidden to come to my house again!" "Did I do something wrong?" The greatest ability of anyone who eats this kind of food is to be able to cheat! Lei Sanfeng was anxious and said, "Ma Lisa, don't be rude to Uncle Zhang!" Marisa said: "Is it rude, I want to beat him!" Diarrhea jumped up and said, "Are you going to beat me? Why did you beat me? What did I do wrong..." "Bah!" Ma Lisa couldn't help but slap her with a wave of her hand. This palm split, Ma Lisa was furious from the heart, without measure, in an instant, I saw that the mouth and nose of the mangled head were covered with blood. "Hey, Ma Lisa, how can you hit someone?" Lei Sanfeng growled. "Anyone who is a doctor will be beaten!" Ma Lisa said angrily. "Langzhong? What an insult, have I lied to you about something?" Mandiarrhea has the attitude of "a dog's power", and he relies on Lei Sanfeng to back him up. Without saying a word, Ma Lisa rushed forward and gave Mandia a somersault. This guy looks dangerous, but he is a person with the power of "hands-free chicken". When Ma Lisa flicked lightly, he threw a "Dogs eat shit", his face was black, blood and mud mixed together. "Rebellion, rebellion!" Lei Sanfeng yelled strangely, trying to stop Ma Lisa from continuing to fight. Just as he stretched out his hand, Marisa had already slapped him. "Ah, you actually made a move on me?" Lei Sanfeng said angrily, "I taught you all your kung fu!" Ma Lisa said: "If anyone shames my natal family, I will not recognize anyone!" Diarrhea got up from the ground, looking in a state of distress, he wept and said, "If there is such a niece in my family, I must kill her!" "Haven't you been beaten enough?" She stepped forward, and the mangy head hurried away. One chased and the other ran, the performance seemed to be a farce, but the people watching the excitement in the alley gradually gathered up.Especially there are so many urchins in this alley, they applaud and applaud one by one. "No more fights!" Lei Sanfeng shouted. "If you have the guts to walk into my house again, I'll hit you if I see you!" Ma Lisa said again. Mandiarrhea vented all his grievances towards Lei Sanfeng, saying, "You invited me to this place because I was beaten..." How can Lei Sanfeng answer?Usually, he is also a troublemaker outside, but there is nothing he can do about Ma Lisa. It is true that Ma Lisa has been spoiled since she was a child, especially when her mother was widowed when she was young, so she raised such a child. The only one who can discipline Lei Sanfeng is Mrs. Ma. Lei Sanfeng is afraid of his sister, so he gives in to Ma Lisa. He really doesn't dare to teach Ma Lisa a lesson. "I think it's unlucky!" Mandiarrhea walked down the steps, turned around and slipped away. Ma Lisa pointed to her uncle again and said, "If you don't change your old habits, I will also prohibit you from playing cards in my house!" "You really treat uncle as an enemy!" "Tell me how much money you borrowed, and I will try to repay it for you!" "Don't worry about it, I will pay back my debts myself!" "You never have the habit of paying back!" "It's none of your business whether you pay back the money or not!" Lei Sanfeng felt that he was bored, and he also needed to go down the steps, especially when the crowd surrounded him to watch the fun.He said: "I can't discipline you, your mother will discipline you and teach you how to treat your elders!" Ma Lisa said: "Do you still have the guts to tell my mother? I really admire your courage!" "Let's see!" He turned his head and left. Ma Lisa seemed to be full of resentment, and she roared to the crowd watching: "What else is there to see? Are you really free?" She climbed up the stairs angrily, and when she raised her head suddenly, she found that the people watching the excitement were not only the crowd around the front door, but people were standing on many balconies of that apartment. Worst of all, Mama was on the terrace too, rapt in those thick glasses, for how long she had been standing there, Marisa had no idea. Aunt Chen was also standing on the arcade with Tian Yidao, and she was singing a hymn, "Let God give me courage." Ma Lisa was in a nervous mood, as if she was embarrassed by her mother-in-law who found her fighting in the alley. When Ma Lisa walked in the door, her mother smiled and said to her: "Is the person you hit just now a man with dysentery?" Ma Lisa blushed, "That's the one with the surname Zhang!" Mom said: "Good job!" Marisa was very surprised and said, "When you say you played well, which aspect do you mean?" "This guy is very unruly at cards and often steals cards!" "Since you know that he steals cards, why do you still play cards with him?" "Oh, we often miss one of three, and he is your uncle's friend, so it's hard to get along!" Ma Lisa's face flushed, she was tongue-tied, not knowing how to explain to her uncle. "Why did you hit him?" Mom asked again. "It's because he stole cards!" "How did you know? Who told you?" "I guess this way, haven't you lost a lot of money recently?" Ma Lisa said. "Did you hit someone based on guesswork?" "I think I hit the right..." My mother clapped her hands and said, "Look at the situation, I can't make any cards today. Let's go to the new house!" At this time, Mrs. Chen slipped to Ma Lisa's side and said secretly: "I prayed for you when you were fighting and sang music poems. Please God give you strength! God has appeared!" "How do you know God has manifested?" "Well, I saw that you pushed him gently, and he fell into a big somersault. Who has the strength? For a moment, you barely moved, and he crawled all over the ground. Who can Has this power? In the New Testament, the divine power Samson was only killed by Dana Li, cut off the hair bestowed by the divine power, and was thrown into the prison to do hard labor. Afterwards, he prayed to God and gave him divine power, so He can tear down the temples of the Romans..." Marisa laughed it off.
Dad has sent another remittance, enough to pay for the garden house in Muzha, and there is still a lot left. After twists and turns, the garden house was finally sold.Marisa and Mom started to get busy, and they hired painters to redecorate. Look at the scenery, the local environment is indeed good.Surrounded by mountains and rivers, the air is fresh, it seems like a villa for the elderly to retreat to. Ma Lisa was busy buying furniture with her mother again, and Xiao Zhang and Li's wife also mobilized. I believe it's only these few days. My mother didn't play cards or get sick. Her spirit is much better when people are happy and happy. The furniture was moved to a new house, and a new problem came again. No one would take care of the house. The location of the garden house was remote, and it was easy to attract thieves. The furniture was moved away by car, including even the electric bubble glass windows. During the day, there is no big problem, Xiao Zhang and Xiao Li's wife can sit there, but the night is the most annoying. Ma Lisa once discussed with Mrs. Chen, hoping that she would go there to help for a few days, and she would come back after "joining the gang" and her mother's family hired another servant. My mother has her superstitions. To join a group, you must choose a good date, and everything must be auspicious. The day of "joining the group" is an "auspicious day" selected, but it will take several days. Mrs. Chen rejected Ma Lisa's request, saying, "I won't go to places where hymns are not allowed!" "Who will forbid you to sing hymns?" "Huh, the old lady often complains, she is not happy to listen to the hymns, she said: That is the song sung by the foreign Bodhisattva!" Ma Lisa said: "The old lady is busy adding all kinds of things these days. She will rarely go to the new house. You stay there to look after the house and sing whatever you like!" "I will not go!" "Why not?" "Nobody listens to my hymns, I won't go!" Marisa stomped her feet again and said, "You sing hymns at home, and no one listens to you!" "Why not?" "Who? Who?" "Tian Yidao, Tian Erdao! Hey, Tian Erdao is really good now. Every time she hears me singing hymns, she will stare, puff her mouth, and imitate me! I think, you When my two children grow up, they will definitely learn from me and believe in my Lord Christ!" "Don't talk about that now, I need you to go to Muzha to see the house!" Mrs. Chen didn't answer, just sang a hymn and slipped into the kitchen, making Ma Lisa so angry that "the seven orifices were filled with smoke". They had no choice but to seek help from the helper agency, and invited a young servant girl who was fat and white, and their mother took a fancy to her for being neat and tidy. 可是这位下女甚为娇小，听说晚间只留她一个人在那儿看屋，她吓得哇啦哇啦的直哭，卷起包袱，就此辞工不干了。 这问题自是要和佣工介绍所交涉的，他们取了介绍费，连半天的时间也没有待，下女就跑掉了，那除非是他们退还介绍费。 第二天，佣工介绍所带来了一位“欧巴桑”，一看而知，那是老资格的佣人了。 她好像巡逻什么东西似的，整幢屋子由上至下每一个角隅都看过了之后，说： “这样大的一幢屋子，至少也要三个佣人才行，洗衣裳的、烧饭的、打扫院子的！一个人做不了！” 马莉莎说：“你做烧饭的？还是洗衣裳的？或是打扫的呢？” 她说：“三样全做也行，那就要三份工钱！” “一份工钱是多少呢？” “八百！” “三份就是二千四了！” 欧巴桑也笑，说：“假如一个人做的话，至少也要两千元，钱少了可真受不了，屋子这样大，院子也这样大，七八间房间，上下打扫，包括洗衣裳烧饭还要抹玻璃窗，十多个钟头也忙不了！” 马莉莎说：“屋子里只有一个人！有时候顶多也不过两个人！” 欧巴桑哪肯相信，她的眼睛横扫了屋子，包括田一刀，老老少少的，她说：“一个人要这样大的屋子干什么，你们又不供佛堂？” “真的！只是一个人住！”马莉莎再声明一次。 “这样好了，算一千八百元！”她又问：“人多人少在其次，你们打不打牌的？如是时常打牌，工钱便可以少算，算一千五好了……一千四不能再少了！”她的确是一位老资格的女佣了，连打牌的好处也都懂，可以说明，她在“海派”的人家也做过事呢。 “工钱一千元！”马莉莎很坚定地说：“这种工钱在台北市也不算少了，而且每天打牌，你还有外快可拿！” “你们打多大的牌呢？”她显现出那副贪婪的神色。 "You don't care!" “既然每天打牌，一定要多买小菜了？” “当然，有客人打牌时就多买小菜，但是假如没有客人时，也许就不买小菜了！”马莉莎对她的查根问柢已渐开始有点不耐烦了。 “好的，什么时候开始呢？” “今天就可以开始，不过我们搬家进来还需要两天！” “啊，我明白了，你们要我先看房子！”欧巴桑真是经验丰富呢。 “按照佣工介绍所的规矩，也要先试用三天！” “但是我们也有规矩，看房子要一天算做两天！” 只相差一两天的时间就是很起码的问题，妈妈也帮同劝告，叫马莉莎不必为此小事争执下去。 好容易才算是谈妥了一个女佣人。 但欧巴桑可谓是真的资格老到，她回佣工介绍所去取了行李，立刻就似模似样地开始工作，手脚还相当的干净利落，屋子内粉刷留下的灰烬尘垢立刻清扫得干干净净。 只见她忙出忙进的，大桶大桶的垃圾向外清除，新粉刷的屋子配上了新的家具，整间房子就有了新的气氛。 第二天，大家帮同装上了窗帘布，购置的家具分批运至，麻将间也布置好了。 电冰箱、电视机，也相继进了屋子，一切筹备尽善，这时只等着“入伙”了。
“天有不测风云，人有旦夕祸福”，入伙的那一天偏巧台风正要光临。 天气就像台风演奏前奏曲一样，不时风，不时雨，又不时地出太阳。 广播电台、电视机，都不时地在报告着台风的动态，呼吁市民作防台的准备，凡低洼地区居民及早迁移…… “入伙”的一天，遇上这样的天气，也是够杀风景的了，好在那是妈妈自己挑选的“黄道吉日”，无法怨天尤人了。 这天到的客人并不多，还是那几位最基本的，如小张的太太、小李的太太、胡公道夫人、王文娟两姊妹，都是女客，男客只来了一位，就是马莉莎的舅父雷三封。 雷三封特别声明，他是奉马莉莎的妈妈之命送礼物来的。 马老太太给她的亲家母送来了一盏台灯，上面还贴有一张红纸，上写“乔迁志喜”四个大字，可谓是礼貌周到了。 其实这是马莉莎提醒她的妈妈这样做的，她自己买了台灯，送到柔道学校去，让马太太再派人送回来，她就有着顾全面子的习惯。 可是马莉莎却没有想到送台灯来的竟派了雷三封呢。 “呀！今天真是打牌的好天气！”妈妈高兴了，她念念不忘是她的那间新布置的麻将间，还未有启用过呢。 她已经一再请人参观她的麻将间了，各项的设备尽善尽美，以它的面积而言，至少可以开两桌麻将。 她每一项事物都准备得十分周到，好像是经过专家设计似的。 可是，到这时候才发现缺少了一项最重要的东西——没有麻将牌。 这不是天大的笑话吗？设备完善的麻将间没有麻将牌和筹码。记得西洋有这么一个故事，世界上一个著名的都市，有一所设计至为完善的邮政大厦揭幕。政要贵人光临剪彩，招待各界参观。等到典礼如仪之后，发现忘记了装设邮筒。 这情形和麻将间没有麻将不是一样的可笑吗？ 妈妈很感觉到尴尬，责备马莉莎说：“怎么搞的，你为什么不提醒我一声：该买几副麻将牌的！” 马莉莎说：“我以为你早准备好了！” “唉，今天买这，明天还那，谁想到会忘记买麻将牌呢！” “照说是应该由香港带来的麻将牌比较漂亮，日后想办法带个一两副来就是了！” “现在怎么办呢？” “今天不搓牌也可以嘛，台风正要光临，每一个客人都是要早回家的！” “那怎可以给大家扫兴呢？” “客人并不一定都很爱搓牌的，比喻说，胡老太太早就想回家了，小李的太太是无所谓，王文娟王文美她们吃了晚饭就要走的！” “晚饭时不是每一位太太的先生都会到吗？” “他们都不是搓牌的角色！” “不用管，有麻将间没有牌，会被人笑话的，快替我想办法去买两副！” “连天大雨，要跑回台北市去……” “你不是有汽车吗？要不然，要汽车何用呢？”妈妈已经开始情急了，她是打算命令马莉莎去做。 其实马莉莎是不希望她的舅父雷三封再和妈妈坐上麻将桌子。 “我回家去将家里的那副麻将牌拿来算了！”她最后下决定说。 “一副牌怎么够呢？” “刮台风时所有的店铺都提早打烊，关上铺门，休想买到东西！” “唉，那么你就快回家去，将你的那副牌先送来再说！” 马莉莎不得不从，她冒着风雨，自行驾车去了。 除了妈妈和雷三封两人想坐上麻将桌之外，其他的几个人都盼望着想提早回家去。她们是碍在马莉莎的面子，谁也没肯做声。 这一段时间是很难打发的，台风来得太不是时候！ 马莉莎冒着风雨，独自驾车由木栅奔台北，回到家中，取了麻将牌和筹码，还有麻将尺麻将桌布等物，卷了一大包。复又由台北赶往木栅。 她的驾驶技术仅是刚入门的阶段，经验可是一点也没有的。 天雨路滑，加上经年失修的路面，全是坑洼，一些深洼的破坑被雨水填满了，连有丰富驾驶经验的人也会上当的。 马莉莎在回程的路上后轮陷在泥坑里。向前进汽车的力量不够，向后退又怕会滑进稻田，真是进退两难呢。 在公路的半途上，呼天不应唤地不灵。她还算是有办法的，跑到附近的农家，雇请几名农人帮忙推车。 暴雨连天，竹杠可敲大了，还要说尽好话，好容易连拉带推算是将那辆汽车推出了泥坑，马莉莎可浑身淋得湿透。光着脚，半身是烂泥巴。 她回到木栅时，大家乍眼看去，还以为是疯人院里跑出来的病人。 她的功劳不可磨灭，至少麻将牌是送到了。 麻将间内透出来的是滴滴嗒嗒的声音，原来是马莉莎的舅父雷三封出的好主意。 为了打发那段“空闲”时间，他借用了一只饭碗教大家掷骰子。 骰子的掷法纯台湾式的，俗称为“掷唏巴”！要用六枚骰子去投，所以声响显得特别的吵耳。 小张和小李对这些怪名堂都很感兴趣，他们抵步不久就玩上了。加上王文娟两姊妹，她俩对搓麻将学了很久，老是“进不了门”。可是投骰子她们一学就会，还十分的起劲呢。 马莉莎有了这样一个舅父，也是够她伤脑筋的了。 她一身淋得湿透，前两天才洗头做好的头发，这时像“清挂面”，不成一个形状了。光着两条大腿，沾满了污泥，肚子里的一股怨气正无处发作呢。 她又要找舅父的麻烦了。 刚好这时候胡公道老先生和我一起到达，我离开工厂时正好乘胡公道老先生的汽车而来，他是专程为道贺而来的，进门就大嚷恭喜，其实他的太太在当天一早就把礼物送到了。到底，胡公道老先生比我们长上一辈，又是工厂的董事长，马莉莎得对他礼貌一些。 她失去了发脾气的机会，溜进了浴间，将泥垢洗涤干净，借了妈妈的一身衣裳。当然那是很不称身的，两个人的体型就不对。 她穿了那身的衣裳，简直和马戏班的小丑差不多呢，我没敢笑。
