Chapter 90 I still have this life to protect you
In Cen Yan's opinion, his father should have seen through the nature of everyone in the Cen family and should be extremely disappointed with Old Man Cen and Old Lady Cen.
But even in this situation, he still did this.
Cen Yan couldn't figure it out.
"Dad, you still don't want to split up the family?" She asked directly, "Even if I marry into the Wei family and live a life worse than pigs and dogs, and can't live anymore and simply commit suicide, you still won't split up the family?"
As soon as she said this, tears began to fall from her eyes.
Thinking back to her previous life, she was instigated by her aunt and Yu to handle her father-daughter relationship with Cen Dahai very poorly, so that later Cen Dahai completely ignored her. She suddenly felt sad and aggrieved.
In her previous life, she was blinded by greed and in order to marry Wei Zan, she stubbornly believed that she did not need any love and protection from her father.
But when Cen Dahai protected her like that today, she was shocked and moved.
At that moment, she realized how safe it felt to be protected by her father.
But now she is doubting again, is filial piety so important?
For the sake of filial piety, the father doesn't care about his daughter's life or death?
When Cen Dahai heard her say such extreme words and shed tears again, he was stunned.
When he realized what was happening, he was shocked and said quickly, "What do you mean by life or death? How can you say that?"
"Isn't that so? Dad, let me ask you now, if we don't divide the family, where can I get the money to cancel the engagement? Do you think that given grandma's nature of cherishing money more than anything else, if we don't divide the family, she wouldn't use the so-called rules of the old Cen family to take the money from me?" Cen Yan asked back with tears in her eyes.
"This...but the most realistic thing now is, where can you get so much silver?" A trace of worry appeared on Cen Dahai's face.
Fifty-five taels of silver is really not a small amount.
He was really at his wits' end.
"I'll go to work!" As soon as he finished speaking, Li stood up with her fists clenched. "I can do embroidery, go to the county town to find a wealthy family, sign a contract with them, and work for them! As long as I can earn enough money to break off the engagement with Xiaoyan, I'm willing to do anything!"
"This won't do. If we sign a contract with a wealthy family, we will be tied to them for the rest of our lives and will have to be their slave." Cen Dahai immediately frowned and objected.
"This won't work, and that won't work. I don't think you really care about Xiaoyan's lifelong affairs at all! All you think about is your own foolish filial piety!" Li glared at him angrily.
"That's not what I meant."
Cen Dahai recently witnessed his wife's sharp tongue. He couldn't argue with her, but he still tried to say, "I want to work in the mines. I heard that the money there is fast and the earnings are high. But I am worried about leaving you three behind. If we really have to split up the family, we will have no money and no house. What will you do? Will you have to sleep on the streets? There is no need to split up the family. When the money is earned, I will give it directly to Wei Zan and cancel the marriage myself."
As soon as he said this, Li realized that she had misunderstood him and her face immediately turned red.
But before she could say anything, Cen Yan objected with a serious face: "That's absolutely not possible! Several lives have been lost in that mine. What if something happens to you? It's better not to have that kind of money!"
"Someone died? How come I have never heard of it? Where did you hear it?" Upon hearing this, Cen Dahai looked at her in confusion.
"This..." After he asked this, Cen Yan remembered that the news of the death in the mine was only spread after the matter became a big deal, and it has been calm until now.
But if you calculate the time carefully, it won't be long.
The most important thing is that the death was the first to occur, and then the news could no longer be concealed, so it was leaked.
This incident alarmed even the imperial court, and the magistrate of Xiangyao County was dismissed from his post.
Then, I'm afraid that fatal things will happen during this period of time.
Therefore, Cen Dahai must not go!
"I only heard what Ji Yunzhan said. He often traveled around Wuyao Mountain hunting, and he heard and saw much more than ordinary people." Cen Yan had no choice but to bring up Ji Yunzhan.
"You are very close to Ji Yunzhan? When did he tell you that?" Cen Dahai frowned again when he heard the name.
"He is my savior, so there is nothing wrong with me getting closer to him. There is nothing wrong with our relationship."
Cen Yan was a little unhappy with Cen Dahai's unhappy face when he mentioned Ji Yunzhan. "Anyway, going to the mine to make money is absolutely not an option! Since I've made a promise to my grandparents, I already have a way to make money. I promise not to steal or rob, and not to do bad things. But the premise is that we must split up the family, we must split up the family!"
Upon hearing this, Cen Dahai sighed heavily.
He still didn't give in: "It's getting late today, let's all go to bed early."
After saying that, he walked straight out of the house, went to the yard to wash his face, and went back to the house to sleep.
Seeing his motionless attitude, Cen Yan and Li were both a little angry.
"Don't worry, Xiaoyan. Even if your father doesn't care about you, mother will never let you marry that scumbag Wei Zan!" Li held her daughter's hand and promised firmly.
"Mom, I just talked about Dad, not you. You must never go to any wealthy family and sign a contract with them! I really have a way to make money, otherwise how could I dare to brag in front of grandpa and grandma for no reason?" Cen Yan instructed.
"But..." Li was a little unconvinced.
My daughter is still young, how can she make money?
Cen Yan simply let her know a little: "There are some things that I can't communicate with my father, but mother, I have actually planned to do business with Ji Yunzhan, and he said that if I can't make enough money before the marriage, he is willing to lend me all the money he has saved over the years.
“Although there are some bad rumors about Ji Yunzhan, those are all framed and slandered by Wei Zan. He is actually a very good person.
“He’s a very good person to associate with, you don’t have to worry about me being cheated.
"Besides, if I have to choose between marrying Wei Zan and being deceived by Ji Yunzhan, I would rather choose to be deceived by Ji Yunzhan!"
Cen Yan's decisive words shocked Li.
What shocked her was that her daughter's trust in Ji Yunzhan was too high!
But she was also very clear that her daughter had been very opinionated and smart recently.
Just looking at how she has caused the first and third wives to suffer losses with just a few words recently, you can see her ability.
"Yan, I believe everything you say! Don't worry, I don't have the ability to protect you, but I also know that I can't ruin your affairs. I won't tell your father a word of what you just said to me! Whatever you want to do, just do it boldly! At worst, I still have my life to protect you!" After thinking it over, Li held Cen Yan's hands tightly again and promised with a firm expression.
