Chapter 2509: Saving a life is better than building a seven-story pagoda

Ma Lan stood on the side of the road at the airport exit, constantly calling Xiao Changkun, but she couldn't get through.

She couldn't help but curse: "This damn Xiao Changkun, I don't know where he died, he hasn't answered my phone."

Xiao Churan asked her, "Mom, are you sure you told him the time clearly?"

Ma Lan said angrily, "Of course I told him clearly, he already promised me on the phone, who knows why he hasn't appeared yet and the phone won't connect, it's really unreliable."

Xiao Churan also hurriedly took out her mobile phone and called Xiao Changkun, but the phone was indeed unanswered as Ma Lan said.

She said very nervously, "Could Dad have had an accident... It's not time to sleep yet, how can the phone not be connected?"

Ye Chen hurriedly persuaded, "Wife, don't think blindly, Dad is in good health, what accident could he have? Maybe he fell asleep, why don't we go home and see!"

"Right!" Xiao Churan said very approvingly, "Let's go home quickly. If Dad is not at home, we'll go out and look for him. If it really doesn't work, we'll call the police!"

Ma Lan on the side said very unhappily, "Go home? How to go home? Your dad didn't drive to pick us up, how can we go back?"

Xiao Churan said subconsciously, "Let's just take a taxi back."

"Take a taxi?!" Ma Lan said with an exaggerated expression, "I, Ma Lan, am a celebrity. In New York, at Bedford Hills Correctional Facility, I was the number one figure. I flew back on a private plane. After getting off the plane, you don't let me take a Rolls-Royce, and you don't get me a Mercedes or BMW, but you let me take a taxi. Where should I put my face?"

Xiao Churan said helplessly, "Oh Mom, what time is it, you still care about this, let's go home quickly and see what happened to Dad, that's the most important thing!"

As she spoke, without waiting for Ma Lan to reply, she hurriedly reached out and stopped a taxi on the side of the road.

Seeing Ye Chen and Xiao Churan open the car door and prepare to get in, Ma Lan said depressedly, "Churan, at least call a luxury special car or something, get a broken Jetta, how shabby!"

Xiao Churan saw that her mother was so human, and couldn't help but get angry, "If you want to take a luxury special car, then wait here, I'll go back with Ye Chen first."

After speaking, she opened the car door and sat in.

When Ma Lan saw this, she lost her persistence just now and could only sit in the passenger seat sullenly.

As soon as she entered the passenger seat, she frowned, covered her nose, and said to the driver, "I said master, why is there such a big smell of smoke in your taxi?"

The master said casually, "Is there a smell of smoke?"

"Right!" Ma Lan blurted out in a bad tone, "It's all the smell of smoke, can't you smell it? Is that a nose on your mouth?"

The master curled his lips, "There is a smell of smoke naturally because I smoked, what's the big deal."

Ma Lan said angrily, "How can you smoke in the car when you drive a taxi? Is there too little service awareness?"

The master also got angry, stared, and said, "That was smoked when parking, and I didn't smoke when you got on. The taxi company stipulates that we are not allowed to smoke in front of passengers, and I didn't violate the regulations? Oh, you take my car for at most a few dozen minutes, do you not allow me to smoke at other times?"

Ma Lan said angrily, "You make it clear, the taxi is your service place, you must maintain the cleanliness and hygiene of this service place, and the air is fresh, and you have a reason for such a big smell of smoke?"

The master retorted, "This service place is provided by the taxi company, not by me. I only drive. If you have any dissatisfaction, go to the taxi company to make suggestions."

As he spoke, the master muttered dissatisfiedly, "Just smoking, what's the big deal, doesn't your old man smoke?"

Ma Lan gave him a white look and hummed, "Smoke."

The master continued, "That's it, smelling smoke at home is smelling, and smelling smoke when you come out is also smelling, what's the difference?"

Ma Lan said two words disdainfully: "Dead."

The master asked subconsciously, "What's dead?"

Ma Lan deliberately said loudly, "Didn't you ask if my old man smokes? I answered you that he smokes, smoked to death."

The master's expression was extremely ugly, but he still argued pale, "Look at you, this female comrade, you don't speak well, people die in many ways, how do you know he was smoked to death?"

"Lung cancer!" Ma Lan said sarcastically, "He smoked and got lung cancer, which spread to his heart, liver, spleen, lungs, kidneys, and brain. It is said that even his bones were full of it. He went to the hospital, the doctor said he couldn't be saved, and he would live for at most three months. As a result, he hung up in less than a week. I donated his body to the medical school and let those medical students open his chest and belly to practice. It can be considered a contribution to society."

As she spoke, Ma Lan sighed, "Oh, you don't know, that professor at the medical school said that my old man's two lungs were smoked blacker than coal. As soon as he opened his stomach, he could smell that fishy and smelly smoke. He almost smoked the old professor to death on the spot. The two lungs were cut off and taken out, just like the smoked pork, dripping oil directly, those are all the tar in the smoke! You say, was he smoked to death?"

The master looked like he had eaten a fly with highly toxic poison when he heard this, which was disgusting and scary.

Seeing that his expression was very ugly and he didn't answer, Ma Lan couldn't help but mutter, "Oh, you say this cancer cell is really powerful, the lungs are smoked into charcoal, and the cancer cells can grow more and more vigorously. That vitality is really tenacious, it feels like on the rotten wood, it can grow a lot of wood ear, it's a bit interesting."

The master thought: "What's the meaning of your mother! You dead old woman, what kind of rotten metaphor is this, why is it so disgusting!"

Ye Chen sat in the back, also helpless, thinking: "My mother-in-law is really vengeful. The old man just didn't drive to pick her up, and she really picked up her mouth and cursed the old man to death in front of the taxi driver, and was opened by medical students. This mouth is really no one."

Xiao Churan was also angry and uncomfortable. She sat behind Ma Lan and heard Ma Lan curse her father like that, naturally she couldn't accept it.

But she didn't want to expose Ma Lan's lies in front of the taxi driver, because she was afraid it would make the taxi driver doubt life, so she could only cough a few times in the back to remind her.

Ma Lan heard Xiao Churan cough and naturally knew what her daughter meant. However, she was angry with Xiao Changkun, so she didn't care that her daughter and son-in-law were present, and continued to say to the driver: "Master, you are right, smoking is actually very normal, and getting lung cancer is logical. You, just smoke, anyway, living in the world, isn't it just living happily?"

The master's expression twitched, and he said awkwardly, "Uh... that... smoking... is indeed harmful to health, this can be smoked less, try to smoke less..."

Ma Lan asked the driver with a smile, "Master, how much do you smoke a day?"

The master held the steering wheel with one hand awkwardly, scratched his scalp with the other, and said without confidence, "I... this... a little more... a day... that is probably... a pack and a little bit..."

Ma Lan nodded and said casually, "Almost, my old man smoked a pack and a half a day before he left, and he was gone in his thirties."

After speaking, she looked at the driver and asked curiously, "Master, I see you are in your forties or fifties?"

The master smiled, "I... I am fifty-two..."

"Amazing." Ma Lan gave a thumbs up and said seriously, "You are enough, grit your teeth and persist for another ten years, and you will live twice as long as my husband."

The master's expression at this time was uglier than crying.

Ma Lan sighed at this time: "Actually, you say what is the meaning of people living so long? My old man left early, and I don't have to worry about anything. Unlike me, I am both a father and a mother. Sometimes I think, in fact, it is better that the person who left is me, then I will die early and be reborn, and leave early and be relieved."

The master glanced at the storage tray under the car center console and saw a pack of Jin Ling cigarettes inside, his heart was mixed.

Xiao Churan couldn't bear it anymore, patted the back of Ma Lan's seat in the back, and said angrily: "Mom! Why haven't you finished yet!"

Ma Lan turned her head and said with a sense of justice: "Churan, I am holding back the sadness and pain of missing your dad, and using your dad's personal case to kindly remind this master to pay attention to his health. If he listens to these words, can he quit smoking, or at least smoke less in the future and live a few more years, don't you say I saved his life?"

As she spoke, Ma Lan waved her hand: "Forget it, it's not saving his life, saving half his life, a quarter of his life, it's not too much, right? People say saving a life is better than building a seven-story pagoda, can't I accumulate some virtue for myself?"

Xiao Churan asked angrily: "What about my dad? You said my dad like this, aren't you afraid of losing virtue?"

Ma Lan said seriously: "He is dead, what's wrong with me saying it?"

Xiao Churan said angrily: "Mom! It's too much to say that again!"

Ma Lan saw that Xiao Churan was indeed very angry, so she hurriedly said: "Okay, okay, I won't say it, I won't say it, okay?"

After speaking, she said to the driver: "Master, you, just smoke your own in the future, don't take what I just said seriously, just treat it as me joking with you."

The master's mouth twitched a few times, and he said awkwardly, "Uh... that... okay, okay..."

For the rest of the way, Ma Lan seemed to have vented enough and didn't say another word.

Ye Chen and Xiao Churan also didn't speak because of this awkward atmosphere, and they were silent all the way.

More than half an hour later, the taxi stopped in front of the Tang Chen Yi Pin villa area.

Ye Chen paid the money, and the three got out of the car.

Seeing the three walking away, the driver grabbed the half pack of Jin Ling cigarettes, threw it out of the window, and cursed: "Go to your mother, don't smoke in the future!"

Before Ye Chen entered the door, he caught a glimpse of a box of things thrown out of the driver's window, and was slightly startled. In the dark, he seemed to hear a voice: "Ma Lan, merit +100, current merit balance: minus one hundred and eight thousand..." ===== CHAPTER 2510 =====
