Facing Su Yu's questioning, Deng Qiyue couldn't help but feel timid, but he still answered with a stiff upper lip: "No...no."

Seeing Deng Qi's words becoming more evasive, Su Yu became more suspicious and asked, "Really?"

Although he was a little flustered, Deng Qiyue still pretended to be calm and repeated: "Really not."

"Husband, Seventh Brother, what are you talking about?" Deng Xian came out of the kitchen carrying the last dish and put it on the table. She then asked the children to help serve the food and put the food on the table one by one. When everything was ready, Deng Xian smiled and said, "Okay, everyone must be hungry, now we can eat."

The family sat around the table and started to eat. The atmosphere was harmonious and there was constant laughter. However, Su Yu seemed absent-minded and kept observing Deng Qiyue. Finally, after the meal, Su Yu put down his bowl and chopsticks, looked at Deng Qiyue and asked directly: "Just say it if you have anything to say! Don't keep it in your heart and make yourself uncomfortable."

Deng Qiyue had no intention of forcing Su Yu to drink, but instead drank many cups on his own. Hearing Su Yu's words, he was slightly startled at first, and then asked back: "Do I look like someone who has something on his mind? Or are you so curious that you can endure it until now?"

Su Yu glanced at Deng Qiyue and did not respond. Instead, he turned to look at Su Shikuan and his two siblings and asked softly, "You went out with your seventh uncle today. What did he do?"

The three children looked at each other and rushed to answer. They vividly described how Deng Qiyue bought two houses and then went out to buy a shop, even telling the details of how many snacks and meats he bought without reservation...

Deng Qiyue looked helpless and couldn't help but sigh: "It really is true that children are the apple of their parents' eyes, and vice versa. It seems that I was really too sentimental this time."

Su Yu, who was watching the fun, took the opportunity to add insult to injury and said, "Why don't you hurry up and get married and have a few children?"

Deng Qiyue immediately covered his chest with his hands when he heard this, pretending to be about to vomit blood. Everyone present shook their heads when they saw this. Especially the other children, they simply couldn't bear to watch, wondering how this uncle could be like a child and actually do such a childish thing.

Su Yu and Deng Xian laughed at him in a low voice without any scruples, as if they were not worried at all about angering him.

"Are you guys done yet?" Deng Qiyue finally couldn't help it and decided not to beat around the bush. He took out the deeds of the house and the shop from his arms, handed them to Su Yu, and said, "This house can be regarded as my dowry to Sister Xian'er."

Deng Xian quickly reached out to stop Deng Qiyue and said anxiously, "Seventh Brother, I've been married for so many years, how can I have the nerve to accept your dowry again?"

Deng Qiyue sighed deeply and said with emotion: "When you were kicked out of the house, I was powerless and could not help you at all. Now that I finally have some ability, I should naturally make up for this debt."

"Seventh Brother, you have helped us so much. There is really no need to trouble you anymore." Deng Xian waved her hands and refused to accept the things handed over by the other party. Su Yu on the side also said, "Zi Yue, let the past be the past. In fact, this is good for everyone."

"That's two different things. This is a little gift from me. Please accept it." Deng Qiyue was determined and had no intention of taking his hand back, as if he had already made up his mind.

Seeing that he couldn't persuade him, Su Yu had no choice but to say helplessly: "We have rented a house here for half a year, so you'd better not make things difficult for us..."

"So what if I've rented it? The worst that can happen is that I can check out early and just lose some rent." Deng Qiyue answered nonchalantly.

"This is not just about money. Look, we have finally cleaned up the house. If we move out in a hurry now, wouldn't all our previous efforts be in vain?" Su Yu tried to persuade him.

Deng Qiyue disagreed and asked, "So what if it's all in vain? Your family of four lives in such a small place, and the children have to squeeze into one room, especially Ning'er is so big now, don't you think it's inconvenient?"

Speaking of this topic, neither Su Yu nor Deng Xian could raise any objections. After all, as the children grew up, it was indeed no longer appropriate for them to live together under the same roof for a long time.

Su Shian, who was standing nearby, gently tugged at Su Yu's sleeve and slowly said, "Since Uncle Seven is willing to help, why don't we move in? When we are able to make money in the future, we can buy this house back from Uncle Seven."

In fact, it was not that Su Shian was spoiled and could not endure hardships, but the room she was living in was too small and cramped. It was indeed inconvenient for her and her sister to live together with her brothers. Another reason was that the toilet here was extremely simple and dilapidated, and it was also a place she had long planned to make money to renovate and improve.

Now that Uncle Seven has bought the house, although it is not a good idea to accept this gift for nothing, they can still earn money through their own efforts to buy it back. At this moment, Su Shian realized that the burden he was carrying was getting heavier, because the house actually required a full 150 taels of silver to buy it!

After Su Yu and Deng Xian exchanged glances, they responded, "That's fine."

After hearing Su Shian's words, Su Yu and Deng Xian immediately changed their minds. Deng Qiyue gave Su Shian a look of approval, thinking that this little girl was not only smart, but also knew how to judge the situation and adapt to changes. She would definitely be a good businessman in the future.

Su Yu continued, "But we can't accept the deeds to the house and the shop. We can just move in and live there after a little tidying up."

Deng Qiyue said: "How can this be possible..."

Su Shian quickly interrupted, "Uncle Seven, as the saying goes, one hand pays the other hand delivers the goods. We can't take the title deed away before we pay. But it doesn't make any difference if we move into the house!"

"Okay!" Deng Qiyue nodded helplessly to show his agreement.

"That's right, isn't Seventh Uncle's shop also left for us to use?" Su Shian took the opportunity to ask.

Deng Qiyue replied arrogantly: "If I don't give it to you, who else can I give it to? Do I have other relatives?"

At this time, Su Shikuan on the side finally couldn't help but interrupted and said: "Yes... Mom and Dad both said that grandpa is waiting for you to come back home!" Her tone was a little playful, which caused everyone to laugh.
