He Yufeng smiled mockingly. “Your parents are really amazing. To be able to nurture such an outstanding child like you, your family’s ancestral grave must be smoking in pride!”

Li Mingyuan smiled and said, “No, no. Actually, there are many outstanding people. I’m not worth mentioning in front of them.”

Although he said that, the smug smile on Li Mingyuan’s face was different.

He Yufeng flattered Li Mingyuan again.

Li Mingyuan was even more flattered by He Yufeng’s praise. The smugness in his heart grew.

Suddenly, He Yufeng changed the topic and said, “I heard that you were on the rankings last time. I should call you a scholar now!”

Li Mingyuan looked a little embarrassed when he heard this. Who asked him to still be a student? He was not qualified to be called a scholar.

However, He Yufeng’s praise for him was still in his mind. If he denied that he was not a scholar now, wouldn’t that be slapping his own face?

However, he could not admit it. After all, there were too many people who knew about his background, especially since Su Li was still here. She knew that he was still a student, so Li Mingyuan maintained a smile on his face and did not deny or admit it.

When He Yufeng saw Li Mingyuan like this, the corners of his mouth curled up.

He said, “By the way, your surname is Li, and your name is Li Shengchang? Can I call you Shengchang in the future?”

Li Mingyuan’s expression turned ugly when he heard these three words.’

Li Shengchang was his classmate. Not only was his family background better than his, but his grades were also better than his. The teacher’s favorite student was also Li Shengchang. Although they were both surnamed Li, they had nothing to do with each other. Li Shengchang even suppressed him in every aspect.

Previously, he felt that he would definitely pass the scholar examination. Who knew that after he failed, Li Shengchang would successfully become a scholar?

The greater the gap between them, the stronger the jealousy in his heart.

He heard that Li Shengchang had married the daughter of a rich businessman. He did not have to worry about his life in the future.

Every time someone mentioned Li Shengchang, he would feel that they were mocking him, and this time was no exception.

He Yufeng looked at Li Mingyuan’s unpredictable expression and couldn’t help but feel smug. That’s right, he did it on purpose.

He had long heard of Li Mingyuan’s name. He had never cared before, but now he felt very sour.

“My name isn’t Shengchang!” Li Mingyuan held back his anger.

He Yufeng said in surprise, “You’re not called Shengchang? Did I remember wrongly?”

Su Li added, “His name is Li Mingyuan. He’s the only student in the Su Family

Village.”

Su Li emphasized the word “student”.

He Yufeng looked enlightened. “Oh, I’m really sorry. I mistook you for someone else. I thought Scholar Li was from our village.”

Su Li said meaningfully, “He was born with a golden key in his mouth. It’s not something country bumpkins like us can compare to.”

Li Mingyuan listened to the couple echoing each other and clenched his fists. Then, he let go. He took a deep breath and said, “I still have something on. I won’t talk to you anymore!”

He Yufeng pretended to persuade him to stay. “Aren’t you going to continue chatting for a while?”

Li Ming walked away even faster.

Su Li looked at Li Mingyuan’s fleeing back and asked with a smile, “He seems to be very afraid of the name Li Shengchang. Do they have any grudges?”

“Not really!” He Yufeng said, “He’s just jealous of others, so he naturally can’t stand to see someone praise another person in front of him, especially when they praised him so highly previously.”

“That’s true.” Su Li nodded.

She realized that He Yufeng’s large hand was still on her waist and she slapped him hard.

“How long are you going to hold on to me? Hurry up and let go!”

Only then did He Yufeng realize that something was wrong and hurriedly let go of his hand.

Su Li reached out and pinched the flesh on his waist.

The next day.

As promised, Ling Yiran got someone to send the deed to the door.

Su Li took the deed and kissed it again and again. She was someone who had a property now.

When He Yufeng saw Su Li’s happy expression, his eyes were a little unfocused. No one could tell what he was thinking.

“Do you like silver very much?” He Yufeng asked.

Su Li asked, “Don’t you like it?”

“The people of the world are working so hard every day for the sake of a few taels of silver. Sadly, only this few taels of silver can resolve all kinds of melancholy in the world.”

He Yufeng changed the topic and said, “What are you planning to do with the shop? Sell soap?”

Su Li shook her head and said, “That thing was sold to the Exquisite Pavilion. I won’t start a new business. I have other plans for this shop. It has to be kept a secret for now.”

Seeing that she was unwilling to share, He Yufeng did not ask further.

The Su family’s house was quickly repaired.

Su Li also planned to bring He Yufeng and the two children back to the He Family Village. Over the past few days, the gossip in the village had slowly increased.

Everyone felt that their family was at their wits’ end. Now that they had come to seek refuge with their parents, Su Li and He Yufeng did not care about this, but these words still had some impact on the two children.

He Qingyao and He Qingmu were visibly not as happy as before. From time to time, they would ask Su Li when they were coming home. They would say that a nest of gold and silver was not as good as their own kennel. They still wanted to go home to sleep.

When Jiao Yuying found out about this, she ran to argue with those people. Although she won in the end, she was also furious.

However, it was impossible to block someone else’s mouth. Su Li thought about it and realized that she was almost done with her work. It was time to go back.

Before leaving, Su Li revealed her plan.

“Father, Mother, I want to bring Su Ze back and let him slowly train and learn some things.”

Su Ze had never gone to school before. It was a little late to go to school now. He couldn’t keep up with people of the same age. There was no difference whether he went or not.

Moreover, with her knowledge, it shouldn’t be a problem to teach him personally. After all, Su Ze wasn’t going to take the imperial examination.

Su Jidong and Jiao Yuying were a little worried that Su Ze would add to Su Li’s burden.

“If he goes, won’t you have to cook an extra bowl of rice? Why don’t we forget about it! ”

Su Li pouted. “Father, Mother, what are you talking about? Don’t tell me I can’t even afford to support another person? Did your daughter live for nothing?”

Jiao Yuying sighed. “I’m really worried about you. It’s not easy to raise two children, and now there’s an additional younger brother for you to raise.”

Su Li said, “I won’t raise him for nothing. If he follows me, he has to do manual labor.”

Su Ze rubbed his palms excitedly. “Father, Mother, let me go! I can still work for Sister if I go. Otherwise, she’ll be so tired alone!”

He Yufeng, who was standing at the side, felt inexplicably stifled. Could it be that he was not considered someone?

Su Jidong waved his hand. “Alright, alright, alright. Go, go! If you don’t listen to your sister, I’ll beat you to death.”

Su Ze smiled and said, “If I don’t listen, I can beat myself to death..”
