Su Le invited Yao Cuifang and her family in, along with Chen Zheng and the other two. She poured about twenty cups of brown sugar water from her room for each of them to drink as a token of gratitude.

"I'll cook in a while, don't leave!" Su Le shouted at them.

"Su Zhiqing, I'm afraid it's not appropriate for us to stay here!" Chen Zheng looked at Li Zichen and said hurriedly.

Su Le disagreed, "What's inappropriate about that? There are so many people here."

Chen Zheng looked at Li Zichen, and Li Zichen nodded.

She didn't know how to cook, so she pretended to take a big black bag from the room. Xu Jiaojiao asked, "Le Le, let me help you."

How could Su Le dare to ask her for help? "No, no, just help me entertain them. I'll do it quickly."

Wang Lan, Chen Qing, and Wang Xiang wanted to help. Su Le stopped them. He smiled and said, "You are the guests, I will do it. I have an exclusive secret recipe that you cannot know."

Everyone laughed when they heard it.

Su Le was still thinking about taking out the ready-made ones from the space and pretending to stir-fry them a few times. They couldn't be allowed in.

Su Le started frying according to the time, and the aroma spread to the living room in no time.

"Mom, it smells so good! I didn't expect Su Zhiqing to know everything!" Wang Lan said to Yao Cuifang while smelling the fragrance.

Yao Cuifang was also mesmerized by the fragrance. "Whoever marries Su Zhiqing will be very lucky."

"Those shameless people are still slandering Su Zhiqing." Wang Lan looked at her mother angrily.

Wang Yun quickly lowered her head. "My dear, I'm leaving now. I don't have the face to eat Su Zhiqing's food."

Wang Lan didn't stop her and let her go so that she would learn her lesson.

Chen Zheng whispered to Li Zichen, "Brother Chen, you will have a treat in the future!" Li Zichen glanced at him.

An hour later, Su Zhiqing came to the living room table carrying dishes. "Hey! You're the one who's supposed to help serve the dishes!" Li Zichen pointed at him and followed her into the kitchen to serve the dishes. There was fish and meat. I'm sure they'd spent all their savings to entertain them.

Li Zichen felt sorry for her and said, "Su Zhiqing, we can just eat something simple. It doesn't have to be so sumptuous. You can save some for tomorrow!"

Su Le rolled his eyes at him and said, "Then eat less!"

Li Zichen nodded. Su Le saw his serious expression and said with a smile, "I'm just teasing you!"

Xu Jiaojiao also helped to serve the rice, "Le Le, this is all rice. Will you have enough food to eat during the winter?" she asked worriedly.

Su Le comforted him, "It's okay, I can go to the county to buy some. They helped me, I can't let them eat steamed buns, right?"

Xu Jiaojiao thought so too, "If you don't have enough to eat, you can eat mine."

Su Leyou was moved.

Yao Cuifang looked at the plate full of rice, chicken, pork belly, and fish, and quickly said to Su Le, "Su Zhiqing, this is too rich. We can't finish it all. Please put the chicken away."

Su Le pressed down the plate of chicken and said, "I'm at the foot of the mountain. If you want to eat meat, you can go up the mountain to hunt game. I want to thank you today. If you are being polite, I won't have any contact with you in the future." He pretended to be angry and said.

Chen Zheng originally wanted to bring some game to Su Zhiqing later, but when he saw Li Zichen, he thought, with Brother Chen here, there's no game he can't eat, so why would he have to rush and start tasting it.

Everyone stopped talking and quickly started eating. Everyone's face was slick with grease and they praised the food again and again.

Wang Lan was excited and said, "Su Zhiqing, how did you make this? It's so delicious!"

Su Le smiled and said, "It's no use telling you. You guys are reluctant to add seasoning, but I put in a lot of seasoning. That's why it tastes this way."

Chen Qing and Wang Xiang also stopped talking. Yes, no one would be willing to do that, let alone their family.

Everyone's stomachs were full from eating. Su Le quietly cleared the table, and Li Zichen helped. The others also hurried to help clean up.

Wang Lanchen was very considerate and gave the kitchen to the two of them. Li Zichen looked at Su Le and said, "Su Zhiqing, I have something to tell you."

Su Le raised his eyes to look at him, "What do you say?"

Li Zichen said seriously, "Su Zhiqing, you've already offended most of the people in the village. Although you're both civil and military, and you're not afraid of trouble, you're still an outsider. Your future won't be easy."

Su Le pondered, he was right. There would be endless troubles ahead, and he couldn't return to the city now.

Li Zichen showed her his military ID. Su Le looked at him in confusion, waiting for his next words. "I'm a soldier. I can take you back to the army, away from the troubles here, and reunite with your family. But only if you get married to me."

Su Le didn't refuse immediately. The temptation was great. Her biggest wish was to be with her family. "What's your purpose?" she looked at him warily.

Li Zichen said helplessly, "I need you as my wife to help me solve the bad peach blossom problem."

Su Le didn't let down his guard, but when he heard the word "wife", his cheeks still turned red. "Anyone else can do it. Why must it be me?"

Li Zichen looked at her helplessly, "Do you really need me to tell you that I'm the only one who doesn't like you?"

Su Le burst out laughing, "So you're looking for abuse. I need to think about it."

Li Zichen said, "Tell me the answer tomorrow. I will also ask the boss to provide you with a separate courtyard and buy some things. Then you can move in directly."

Su Le rolled his eyes. "How can you be sure that I will agree? I can't refuse?"

Li Zichen said with a smile, "You have no reason to refuse."

Su Le cursed, "Old fox! Old man! Dog..."

Li Zichen seemed to have thought of something and said to Su Le with a smile, "Oh, by the way, I also bought the house you live in! I will be your landlord from now on."

Su Le choked on his curse words. He continued to wash the dishes awkwardly, "Ahem, why buy so many houses?"

Li Zichen said, "I've split up, where do I need to live? I can't live on the street."

Su Le pointed in the direction next to him and said, "Aren't you planning to build a house there?"

Li Zichen nodded and said as a matter of course, "I want to build a courtyard house for my retirement. It must be comfortable for me to live in."

Su Le shut up and stop talking. He is rich and can do whatever he wants!

Li Zichen achieved his goal and helped her wash the dishes and clean the kitchen. The two of them were busy for a while and were about to clean the living room, but found it was already clean.

Yao Cuifang said goodbye to Su Le, "Su Zhiqing, we're going back first."

"Su Zhiqing, I'm leaving too." Chen Zhengdao said.

Li Zichen couldn't stay either. They hadn't gotten the marriage certificate yet, and he couldn't ruin his wife's reputation. "Tomorrow morning, we'll go to the county to take wedding photos and come back to get the marriage certificate. I'll wait for you in the oxcart at the village entrance."

Su Le glared at him and didn't answer.
