"Don't talk nonsense. We have married Yingchun and Yingxia to Chen Fan. We must not break our promise."

"And if it weren't for Chen Fan this time, our Su family might not be able to survive the difficulties. We can't do anything like burning bridges."

"Zhao Hongwei is from an official family. Our daughter can only be a concubine when she gets married. I'm afraid she will be even more wronged by then."

Su Yi refused directly.

However, Wang Wei was still unwilling at this time.

"Sir, Chen Fan is just a poor boy. He has helped our Su family this time. If we give him a sum of money to live a prosperous life, we will be worthy of him."

"It's better to be a concubine of an official than to endure hardships like this poor boy!"

"And we have climbed up to Zhao Hongwei. When he becomes a high official, our Su family will have to move to the next level!"

Wang Wei continued to persuade.

Wang Wei's words made Su Yi a little moved.

As Daxia's current emphasis on agriculture and suppression of business became more and more serious, there were more and more restrictions on businessmen.

Not only has the Su family not made any progress under Su Yi's hands over the years, but it has even regressed.

This made Su Yi feel very guilty and felt sorry for the ancestors of the Su family.

If you climb up to the Zhao family, it will indeed be beneficial to the development of the Su family.

But if he did this, he would feel sorry for Chen Fan, and Su Yi began to feel entangled in his heart.

"Let's talk about this later!"

Su Yi gave an ambiguous answer.

Wang Wei knows her husband very well. He knows that his heart is moved, but he has not yet made up his mind.

Then let yourself help him!

Wang Wei secretly thought.

"Let's all come and eat!"

Su Yi shouted to Chen Fan and others.

Soon the whole family was sitting around eating together.

Looking at the table full of dishes, Chen Fan couldn't help but swallowed.

"This time our Su family was able to turn danger into safety, and Chen Fan deserves the most credit. I will toast Chen Fan with my first glass of wine."

Su Yi raised his glass and said.

Chen Fan quickly stood up and had a drink with his father-in-law.

At this time, Chen Fan felt that his father-in-law had heard enough, at least he didn't kill himself just because he was poor.

"Brother, I almost made a big mistake because of Lan Lan. I hope you don't blame me."

At this time, Su Wenqi stood up and admitted her mistake.

After all, she still depends on the Su family for her life.

If Su Yi holds a grudge and cuts off her living expenses, then she and Lan Lan will not be able to survive.

Chen Fan looked at the humble Su Wenqi and felt inexplicably distressed.

"snort."

"Wen Qi, I'm not telling you. Your brother and I were ready to protect the Su family's ancestral graves with our lives."

"You are still going against us. Lan Lan's life is life, but my life and your brother's are not life?"

Before Su Yi could speak, Wang Wei said dissatisfiedly.

These words made Su Wenqi dare not refute, and could only look at Su Yi silently and nervously.

"Forget it, Lanlan is still young, I can understand why you do it for her."

"But from now on, your and Lanlan's monthly fees will be halved."

Su Yi also said with a cold face at this time.

When Su Wenqi heard that the monthly fee was halved, her face suddenly turned bad, but she didn't dare to argue, otherwise the other half would be gone.

"yes."

Su Wenqi could only sit down without daring.

"Okay, let's start eating!"

Su Yi said.

As soon as Su Yi finished speaking, Chen Fan started to take action. He picked up the plate with one hand and poured it into his bowl. With the other hand, he picked up a chicken drumstick and put it into his mouth.

Su Wenqi and Lan Lan had dinner with Chen Fan for the first time, and they were frightened when they saw the way Chen Fan was eating.

It's like being reincarnated as a starving ghost.

This made Yingchun and Yingxia blush, but Chen Fan couldn't control that much.

His military career in his previous life taught him that he must eat enough in a short period of time in order to cope with various emergencies.

"Chen Fan, can you eat slowly? There is no etiquette at all. No one in our Su family will compete with you for food."

Wang Wei said dissatisfied.

"Etiquette cannot be eaten as food. Eat what you have and leave me alone."

Chen Fan gnawed on the chicken leg and said with an indifferent expression.

Hearing this, Wang Wei's face suddenly showed anger.

"Say less! Chen Fan has been tired for the Su family these days, so let him eat more!"

At this time, Su Yi stood up and smoothed things over.

But Wang Wei doesn’t want to let it go.

"Welcoming spring and summer, do you still remember Zhao Hongwei, the county magistrate's son?"

At this time, Wang Wei suddenly looked at her daughter and asked.

Hearing what their mother said, Yingchun and Yingxia both showed doubts at this time. They didn't know why their mother would mention Zhao Hongwei at this time.

Su Yi on the side frowned at this time. He knew what his wife wanted to do.

"Remember."

Although the two sisters were confused, they nodded very honestly.

"Master Zhao has already entered the Imperial Academy. He will be able to become an official after taking the imperial examination next year."

"Mr. Zhao has always had a good impression of you two before! It would be great if you followed Mr. Zhao. From now on, you will be an official's wife."

"It's a pity that you followed a poor boy and had to suffer. Mother feels very guilty!"

Wang Wei sighed and said.

As soon as he said this, everyone present looked at Wang Wei.

When Chen Fan said this, everyone saw Wang Wei's thoughts.

Chen Fan also frowned at this time and put down the chicken drumstick in his hand.

Chen Fan naturally heard that Wang Wei regretted marrying her daughter to him.

This made Chen Fan feel angry.

Wang Wei is planning to kill the donkey!

"Mother, what nonsense are you talking about! My husband-in-law is so kind to us sisters, why would he let us suffer?"

"Mom, we don't want to be official wives. We two sisters want to live a good life with our husband."

The two sisters said firmly one after another.

"You are still young and don't know..."

"Okay, just stop saying a few words!"

Wang Wei still wanted to speak, but was stopped by Su Yi on the side.

Su Yi still has some conscience, and he feels a little sorry for Chen Fan when Wang Wei said this just now.

"Chen Fan, you saved the Su family this time. I promised you before that I would never treat you badly."

"From now on, you can get a monthly payment of one thousand taels of silver from the Su family."

"You have nothing to do now. I can give you a store in the Su family to take care of. You can get 50% of the store's monthly income."

Su Yi said with a generous look.

For ordinary people, this condition is excellent.

But for a man who saved the Su family, he was a bit stingy.

Su Yi still looked down on Chen Fan in his heart, thinking that these conditions were enough to make Chen Fan burst into tears of gratitude.

"Master Zhao entered the Imperial College on his own merit."

"And some people still rely on women to survive. There is really no comparison between people!"

Before Chen Fan could speak, Wang Wei on the side said something strange.

These words made the two sisters very angry.

"I, Chen Fan, will not take a penny from the Su family. I have the ability to make my wife live a good life."

"You can wait and see. Within a year, my wealth will surpass that of the Su family."

Chen Fan said disdainfully.
