The woman lowered her head and said, "Wen Sheng and I are unfamiliar with this place. We were planning to start a small business, but we were cheated time and time again. The hundred taels of silver you gave us were only left with a dozen taels. We had no choice but to open this delicatessen. Although we can't make much money, we can still get by."
"So that's how it is," Ye Fan said with a frown.
"Let's not talk about us, Benefactor." The woman looked up and said, "What about you? How are you doing? Why are you dressed like this? " When she first saw Ye Fan, he was dressed in Han Chinese attire. Why was he suddenly wearing Japanese attire?
"It's a long story," Ye Fan said after hesitating for a moment.
The couple looked at each other and did not say anything.
They could tell that Ye Fan was not doing well.
"Benefactor, where are you going?" the man asked.
"You don't have to ask," Ye Fan said, "It won't do you any good to know about me."
The couple fell silent again.
They wanted to help and repay the kindness, but they were powerless.
"Benefactor, I have a presumptuous request. Please don't refuse," the man called Wen Sheng said to Ye Fan.
"What is it?" Ye Fan asked.
"Can I see what you look like, Benefactor?" The man said, "Benefactor, Yulian and I don't know if we'll be able to see you again in our lifetime."
After hearing this, Ye Fan hesitated.
"Benefactor, don't worry. I won't tell anyone what you look like even if I die," the man said. "I only want to see you once. I can die without regrets."
"Alright." Ye Fan could only agree when he saw the man's sincerity.
He slowly took off the mask on his face.
"Benefactor, your … your hair …" the woman said in shock. When Ye Fan saved her that day, he had a head of black hair. Now, in less than a year, his hair had turned silver!
What kind of drastic change would make a person's hair turn white?! The woman's eyes reddened.
"Benefactor …" The man was also stunned by Ye Fan's silver hair.
"You saw it?" Ye Fan said as he put on his mask again.
"Benefactor, you have to take care of your body," the woman replied with a choked voice.
"You should be the one taking care of yourself." Ye Fan smiled and said, "You're pregnant now. You have to be careful in everything you do. And you," Ye Fan said as he looked at the man. "Don't let her work anymore. She can't take it anymore."
"Yes," the man replied respectfully.
"Judging from your scholarly aura, have you read the books of the saints?" Ye Fan asked the man.
"I've made a fool of myself in front of you," the man replied embarrassedly. "I've tried to pass the imperial examinations, but I've failed many times. Until now, I'm only a scholar."
"If that's the case, why don't you become a teacher? It's much easier than your current job, "Ye Fan asked.
When the man heard this, he gave a long sigh.
"Benefactor doesn't know," the woman said to Ye Fan, "Wen Sheng's literary talent has always been sought after by other students. However, he didn't have the money to bribe the examiners. That's why he failed so many times. He also thought about becoming a teacher, but in my current state, he couldn't leave me alone at home. In addition, we're not familiar with this place, so … "
Ye Fan understood. The woman in front of him had an outstanding appearance. After the previous incident, the man didn't dare to leave her side.
"Right now, the imperial court is incompetent. There's no point in not taking the imperial examinations." Ye Fan said as he took out a stack of gold leaves and placed it on the table. "There are a hundred taels of gold here. Keep it well. With this money, you can open a school to teach. This way, you can teach and make a lot of money. At the same time, you can take care of your wife. It's killing two birds with one stone."
"How can that be? No, no! "The woman hurriedly waved her hand and said.
"Benefactor, please don't!" The man said anxiously. "I can't repay benefactor's kindness. No matter what, we can't accept your money."
"You don't have to refuse anymore," Ye Fan said. "Even if you can endure this hardship, what about the child in your womb? Will it suffer with you? Take this money as a token of my appreciation for my nephew. If you think highly of me, then accept this money. Other than money, I can't do anything to help you. "Ye Fan said as he pushed the stack of gold leaves in front of the two.
"Benefactor …" The woman's voice choked as tears fell like rain.
The man's eyes were full of tears. He couldn't speak.
"You two run the school well. If there's a chance in the future, I'll come back to see you." Ye Fan said as he stood up. "It's getting late. We should be on our way."
Seeing Ye Fan stand up, Akatsuki also stood up.
"You're leaving now?" The husband and wife stood up and asked as they wiped their tears.
Ye Fan nodded.
"Wait a moment, benefactor," the man said as he quickly walked to the chopping board. He deftly wrapped the cut beef in oil paper and handed it to Ye Fan. "Take it with you to eat on the way."
Ye Fan smiled and reached out to take the beef.
The man began to remove the board.
"Benefactor, take care." The woman said to Ye Fan with red eyes.
"You two also take care. I'm leaving." Ye Fan said as he walked out with Akatsuki.
