388. Chapter 388 A Place



Su Wenyue understood her father and brother, and what she said hit the mark on what Grandpa Su and his son were thinking. Plus, Grandpa Su and his son were both decisive. At first, they were a little shocked because Su Wenyue's opinion went against their long-held beliefs. But after Su Wenyue explained it in detail and they weighed the pros and cons, they made a decision.

"What Yue Niang said is right. Now is a time of chaos. We cannot just stick to the old ways. We have to make changes. Moreover, we have such good prerequisites and know the direction of the future. If we don't use this opportunity to seek benefits for the Su family, wouldn't we be letting down God's kindness to us? In such a chaotic world, only a strong enough family can give the Su family a way out. Otherwise, having wealth will only make them lambs to be slaughtered in the eyes of those people. We are still men, but at the critical moment, we can't see it as clearly as a girl like Yue'er. Let's decide it. Do as Yue'er says!" As the head of the family, Mr. Su made the final decision.

The Su Hengyi brothers naturally had no objections, but felt a little ashamed. Their father had taught them a good lesson. As men of the Su family, they were too narrow-minded and did not have the long-term vision of their younger sister. They had the advantage but used it for small profits, which was really wrong. Fortunately, their younger sister reminded them, and they felt more grateful and loving towards this sister. After their younger sister got married, she cared more about the family. She was no longer like the child who only knew how to play. She had really grown up.

"Son, I obey my father's orders."

Su Wenyue didn't expect to convince her father and brother so easily. She was originally prepared for a long battle. After all, the rules of the Su family were absolutely inviolable and unchangeable in the eyes of her father and eldest brother. This result was somewhat unexpected: "Dad is so decisive. Our Su family will definitely become stronger in the future."

After hearing what Su Wenyue said, Master Su and his son's eyes were filled with unprecedented passion and fighting spirit. After so many years, they could finally do whatever they wanted and display their talents and ambitions. Master Su even felt a sense of relief all over.

The descendants of the second branch of the Su family are all promising. However, for so many years, they have been bound by the ancestral rules and regulations of the Su family and can only be active in the business world, which is really frustrating.

Although the status of merchants in the Daming Dynasty was higher than that of the previous dynasty, it was still a lowly profession in the eyes of the world, and their status was really not very good. Although they had the Bei'an Marquisate as their backer, they had been separated from the Marquisate and became outright merchants.

The Su Hengyi brothers learned civil and martial arts since childhood, but they rarely had the chance to use them. They were absolutely happy in their hearts, especially when they saw their cousins ​​acting so gloriously in front of others. They had the same background, but one was as far away as the other. They had felt unfair. Even if they did not rely on the Beian Marquis' Mansion, they still could not earn a future with their own talents, just because of the rules of the Su family. However, they were good men of the Su family after all. Even if they suffered injustice and injustice, they knew the overall situation was more important and were willing to sacrifice for the Su family.

The reason why Master Su agreed so quickly was not only because it was good for the Su family, but also because he felt guilty towards his children. They were all legitimate sons from the Bei'an Marquis' Mansion, but just because he was born at the right time and ranked second, he had to put his wife and children in a difficult position. He was even worse than the illegitimate sons of the Marquis' Mansion. The sons of ordinary families could enter the official career through their own efforts, but his own son could only go into business. If his son had no future, it would be okay, at least he could live a rich life without worries about food and clothing. But he knew that his sons were talented and capable. Now was the right time, so when should he break the rules?

"My dear daughter, our second branch can finally have a chance to excel, and it's all thanks to you." Master Su felt that his love for his daughter was justified. His daughter was the lucky star of their second branch. If his daughter did not know what would happen in the future, they would not dare to make such a bet.

"Dad, don't say that. It's not my credit. If our second branch wants to prosper, it still depends on my eldest and second brothers. In such a chaotic world, the Bei'an Marquisate is also in trouble in Chang'an, otherwise they wouldn't have sent grandmother and aunt to us. If our second branch can find a way out, the Su family can maintain its past prosperity and not decline. If the ancestor sees it, he will be pleased."

Su Wenyue added the last sentence out of consideration for her father and brother's feelings. In fact, she was selfish. Although the people in the first wife's house were nice to her, when it came to interests, she considered her father and brother more. But she thought the first wife's house was the same. After weighing the interests, they considered the interests of the Bei'an Marquis' Mansion more, and family affection was secondary. In aristocratic families, family interests are paramount.

The Su Hengyi brothers looked at each other and saw doting and smiles in each other's eyes. How could they not understand their sister? Because she was a girl, she was spoiled by them since she was a child and did not have a strong sense of family. This high-sounding rhetoric was just to comfort their father so that he would not feel guilty.

The Su Hengyi brothers understood their sister, and Master Su understood his daughter as well. However, he felt comforted by his daughter's thoughtfulness. However, things were not as simple as Yue Niang said, so she looked at the Su Hengyi brothers seriously.

"Although this matter has been decided, it is only on paper. It is not so easy to achieve. Even if we know that person will sit in that position in the future, the first step is how to gain his trust and stay with him. Our second branch has been separated from the Bei'an Marquis Mansion. We are just an ordinary businessman. We may not be valued by him."

Mr. Su was not carried away by the knowledge of what would happen in the future. Even though he knew the direction of the future, the road to prosperity of their second branch could only be taken step by step.

This question was simple for Su Wenyue. She knew what Liu Xiu lacked the most. Liu Xiu had so many people under his command. Just their food and expenses were a huge expense. The more troops he had, the greater the expense. The Liu family's financial resources alone could not support it. That's why Liu Xiu would be so humble as to accommodate a fickle woman like Chen Li. He only cared about Chen Li's ability to make money. From this respect, Liu Xiu was truly a man who could bend and stretch.

"Dad, don't worry. Since I made this suggestion, I have already thought about how to gain that person's trust. Besides, that person may need the help of our Su family right now. As long as we operate well, we will definitely gain the greatest benefit and occupy a place by his side."

Su Wenyue believed that Liu Xiu definitely valued the Su family more than Chen Li, but she had no choice before. No matter how capable Chen Li was, she was just a newcomer who had just risen to prominence. How could she compare with the Su family, which had deep roots and strong financial resources? Moreover, she also had a general idea of ​​Chen Li's tricks and methods in the business world.
