"Master Chen! Don't you know? Every three years, many students will wait for that opportunity, but how many of them can finally get what they want? Instead of wasting precious time on such an unattainable goal, it is better to seize the present and do something truly useful." County Magistrate Chen was furious when he heard this, and he could not bear it any longer and rebuked Su Yu: "Humph! What you call 'useful things' is cooking delicious food to make a living? Or are you just staying in this academy all day to teach those naughty children to read and write!"

Su Yu didn't take it seriously and responded with a calm smile: "Master Chen, calm down. Accompanying my family is what makes me most happy. You are exaggerating when you mention making food for profit. I am not as smart as my daughter. These ways of making a living were all conceived by my family. I just help out in my spare time."

Then, Su Yu continued to explain his point of view in a firm tone: "When it comes to the cause of teaching and educating people, it is even more far-reaching. Indeed, a man should have made great achievements in battle and accomplished great feats;

However, isn't it more important and influential to become an excellent teacher and give more people the opportunity to realize their ambitions? If there were no such people as Dean Li, how would you and I study and pursue fame? "

Su Yu's words not only expressed his own views, but also praised Li Huairen. As a result, even though County Magistrate Chen was angry, he could do nothing about it. After all, he really didn't want to offend Li Huairen and the powerful Li family behind him. So County Magistrate Chen had to leave with a word "take care of yourself" and walked away.

Seeing this, Li Huairen sighed helplessly: "After all, he is the magistrate of a county. Even if you are a scholar and have some preferential treatment, if he insists on making things difficult for you, I'm afraid you will find it difficult to resist."

However, Su Yu responded disapprovingly: "Sir, you are worrying too much. Lord Chen is just greedy for gain and obsessed with power. He is not so intolerant of a mere scholar like me."

"Oh? I didn't expect you know him so well." Li Huairen looked surprised.

"In fact, I can't say that I know him, but we are both his disciples, so I think our moral character and integrity are the same." Su Yu's words really made Li Huairen happy. He smiled and said, "Well, I will negotiate with him for you. I will never let him get angry with you."

"Thank you, sir!" Su Yu thanked Li Huairen sincerely. In fact, it was not because he was afraid of what County Magistrate Chen would do to him, but because he was worried that this matter would implicate people at home.

At the same time, Deng Qiyue sent someone to the temple to inform his subordinates and servants to move the items to the house he bought and settle them. Then, he bought another batch of grain. Seeing that a big customer had come, the grain store owner immediately offered to deliver the goods to the door. After all, their grain was usually sold to ordinary people, and those aristocratic families all had their own grain stores, so they could not compete with them at all.

Suddenly, Deng Qiyue slapped his forehead hard, secretly regretting that he had forgotten to check the shop. So, he planned to call the three children to go with him to find Wang Yaren. However, at this moment, Su Shian pouted and said, "Uncle Qi, I want to go home."

Deng Qiyue quickly squatted down, looked at her with concern, and asked softly: "Huh? Why is it like this? Is An An unhappy?"

"I'm not feeling unwell, just a little tired... I want to go home and rest for a while..." Su Shian was worried that if he told everyone that his legs were in so much pain that they felt like they were almost broken, he would be laughed at.

Deng Qi looked at his niece carefully and keenly noticed that she seemed not as lively as before, so he nodded in agreement and asked Su Shikuan and Su Shirong with concern whether they felt tired.

Su Shikuan replied, "I'm fine, I don't feel too tired." In fact, Su Shirong was also a little tired, but when he heard his brother say that he was fine, he had to bite the bullet and say that he was not tired either.

At this moment, the most anxious person was the grain store owner. This big customer had not mentioned where to send the grain, so what should he do? He couldn't help but ask softly, "Sir, if that's the case, do you still want these grains?"

"Of course!" Deng Qiyue responded after a brief thought, "Do you know where Mr. Su's house is?"

Faced with this question, the shopkeeper was in a dilemma. He had never heard of the so-called "Su Xiucai's family" and didn't know how to answer for a moment. He could only reply with an embarrassed look on his face: "This..."

At this time, the clever Su Shi'an saw through the boss's embarrassing situation. She suddenly had an idea and suggested: "Seventh Uncle, why don't we go back home together first! As for the grain, please ask the shopkeeper to send someone to go with us." After all, people like her who are often responsible for the family's grain purchase affairs know that the shopkeeper is usually busy with business and has no time to socialize with people. Moreover, Su Xiucai may not be a well-known person, not to mention that their family has just moved into the city and lived there for a short time, so naturally few people know him.

Deng Qiyue carefully held Su Shian in his arms. He keenly noticed that she seemed exhausted, but she was holding on for fear of being laughed at by others. So he chose to silently protect this stubborn and lovely woman.

Along the way, Deng Qi Yue not only thoughtfully bought many delicious snacks for everyone to replenish their energy, but also did not forget to bring some gifts for Deng Xian and Su Shining.

After safely sending the children to their destination, Deng Qiyue planned to find the merchant named Wang Yanren to buy the shop he had long admired.

As night fell, Su Yu returned home and found that Deng Xian had already carefully prepared a table full of delicious dishes waiting for them. It is worth mentioning that the amount of meat on the table today even exceeded the amount of vegetarian dishes. There is no doubt that the cost of these ingredients was naturally paid by the generous Deng Qiyue.

After completing the purchase of the shop, Deng Qiyue did not go home directly, but bought a large amount of meat and fine wine on the way, and then went to his sister Deng Xian's residence. At this moment, he was secretly thinking whether he should try to get Su Yu drunk so that he could take over the house and shop smoothly.

However, just as Deng Qiyue was concentrating on his plan, he suddenly met Su Yu's eyes. Su Yu, who was sensitive, immediately felt that the atmosphere was a little strange and couldn't help asking, "Ziyue, did something special happen today?"
