Xian Jin Gang wanted to speak, but Chen Jianfang's voice came from the inner room, which was obviously suppressing his anger.

"Seventh Uncle, if you think the in-laws we found for Zuo Niang are not good, we will go and return the savings box in person, apologize to the Zhang family, and just pretend that there was no such marriage proposal."

"There's no need to embarrass others with these dirty ancestral face demands."

Then he heard the seventh great-grandfather's cane thumping, "I'm not satisfied at all! I'm not a scholar! My family isn't a scholarly family! The in-laws I found for Zuo Niang are the county magistrate of our Jing County! Our Chen family's business in Jing County is flourishing, all thanks to our close relationship with the county magistrate!"

Well, it had nothing to do with her working herself to death.

It all depends on you to be Cui Heng's bootlicker.

Xianjin curled his lips.

"Look at who you are looking for now! He is a tea seller at home and has no reputation at all."

How strange.

You can't deny that Zhang Wenbo's achievements as a teenager are worthless just because there are so many scholars in Jing County.

Xianjin curled his lips again.

"I accepted this man for your sake, Erlang. But!" Uncle Seven's voice became increasingly excited, "We have lost face, so we have to make up for it! What's wrong with wanting two stores? It's for the expansion of Chen Ji! It's not for my own selfish desires!"

Chen Jianfang said, "If the Zhang family agrees to give you the shop, what will you do? Who will the Chen family send to supervise it?"

The Seventh Great Uncle said confidently, "The shop that Zuo Niang got in exchange for her marriage, naturally his father and his brother should be in charge of the supervision."

After thinking for a while, he added, "Let He Xianjin go too. Once the two shops are established, we'll move her somewhere else."

Mother Zhang made a "tsk" sound outside the window, her eyes looked murderous, and she cursed with gnashing teeth, "Why doesn't he just die? He's always plotting against us! He's not keeping still at all!"

Xianjin held Zhang's mother's hand soothingly.

In the main hall, Chen Jianfang was silent for a while, then he chuckled, "Is that what Seventh Uncle was planning?"

There was a rustling sound, and Chen Jianfang stood up.

"Since you are so sharp-eyed and well-informed, I will not interfere in Zuo Niang's marriage. You can do whatever you want."

"No!" The seventh uncle immediately refused and looked at his son.

We can’t let Chen Jianfang go!

Today, I heard from the Zhang family that they are willing to pay two thousand taels of silver to marry Zuo Niang - this means that the Chen family must pay at least one thousand taels to marry their daughter in order not to lose face!

It is rare to find a wealthy man who can afford to spend so much money to marry a wife!

It is unheard of that a wealthy man could afford so much money to marry Zuo Niang!

How could we possibly let this golden son-in-law go!

Once a rich son-in-law comes to their house, he becomes a cuckold in their family!

Besides, with all this money in and out, wouldn't three thousand taels fall into Zuo Niang's pocket? ? Isn't Zuo Niang's money her father, mother, and grandfather's money?

Such a large sum of money cannot be let go easily!

On the other hand, the Zhang family is looking for a lady who has passed the imperial examination. If Chen Jianfang doesn’t care, they won’t be able to find a matchmaker who matches her. It would be a pipe dream…

Although the Seventh Great-Uncle was old, his brain was young. He soon thought of at least a hundred reasons why Chen Jianfang couldn't just leave the business alone. He finally gave in and sighed, "Erlang, you've seen how people flatter the powerful and bully the weak. I...we planned this because we're afraid that Zuo Niang will have no one to rely on in the future."

Zuo Niang's father also chimed in, "Yes, yes, yes, Erlang has to speak on this matter. Our words don't count!"

After a while, Chen Jianfang's calm voice came, "…Since the two elders have entrusted Zuo Niang's marriage to me, I will do my best to complete this task - one person can make the decision on everything. The more people make the decision, the more confused it will be."

Zuo Niang's father said repeatedly, "Yes, yes, yes! We are just making a suggestion!"

Followed by a series of dry and awkward laughs.

The noise from the inner room gradually became quieter. After a while, the Seventh Uncle and Zuo Niang's father came out. When the Seventh Uncle saw Xianjin standing at the door, he snorted coldly and walked out with his crutches.

Xianjin also responded with a heavy "snort".

Who tolerates your bad habit of biting people everywhere?

After everyone had left, Xianjin walked into the main hall and saw Chen Jianfang frowning, tilting his head and squinting, and kneading the bridge of his nose with his hands.

Xianjin sighed softly in his heart.

Master Chen Liu is vicious and cruel, with many lives on his hands; Uncle Qi is timid and cowardly, but has lofty ambitions...

These elders in the Chen family are really more wonderful than each other.

Can't we just ignore these dirty things?

Xianjin thought so in his heart and asked aloud, "Can we ignore these bad things and live a good life?"

A person has limited energy, and if a lot of it is spent dealing with troublesome family affairs, naturally less energy will be left to devote to one's own career.

Xianjin just felt annoyed.

These blood-sucking relatives are so annoying.

Chen Jianfang gently put his hand down, a bitter smile appeared on his lips, and he slowly shook his head.

He is the eldest son and grandson, and was raised with the combined efforts of the entire Chen family.

How could he do such a thing as destroying the bridge after crossing it or pulling up the ladder after climbing a tree?
