The table suddenly fell silent.
Wang Guixiang's chopsticks stopped in mid-air, her eyes wide open.
Grandpa Su slowly put down his wine glass, lost in thought.
Su Jianjun frowned.
"Brother, tractors aren't cheap."
Su Jianjun hesitated.
"Even a random one costs three or four thousand..."

Su Jianguo waved his hand.
