Chu Cai felt a little awkward because of the atmosphere. He could not help but touch the tip of his nose. From time to time, he looked at his eldest brother and the others. He also noticed that his niece, Qingxiang, had only drunk a mouthful of soup and eaten a mouthful of rice before saying that she was full.
His heart skipped a beat as he suddenly thought it through. Could it be related to his niece’s marriage?
He usually liked to bury his head in work and not meddle in other people’s business, but it seemed that his wife had said something about it during the day.
Chu Cai faintly felt that he had guessed correctly, and he did not want to overthink it.
It was better for him not to interrupt this kind of thing. As for whether his parents needed his help, they had to tell him. He would help with the physical labor obediently.
When Chu Heng finished drinking a cup of tea, Madam Liu and the others had finished their meal.
The two kids, Chu Sheng and Chu Ming stayed behind and sat down on a stool.
Madam Liu wiped her hands on her apron. She sat down and looked at Chu
Heng. “Ah Heng, do you have something important to say today?”
“I mentioned it last time. It’s a business that I’ve decided to do after some consideration.”
“I don’t know if it will work, but I’ll tell everyone first.”
“After all, it hasn’t worked out yet. It wouldn’t be glorious if word got out.” Chu Heng said slowly. In fact, he was hinting to Madam Liu to let the children go out first. It was not suitable for the children to listen to the adults’ discussion for the time being.
In case it was accidentally spread.
Madam Liu instantly understood and looked at Madam Zhang.
Madam Zhang had also heard Chu Lin vaguely mention this matter, but she did not hear it clearly last time, so she was a little curious now.
She patted her two sons’ shoulders. “Don’t you want to study in the county school when you go back to do your homework? If you can’t pass the seasonal examination, you’ll be sent back.”
Chu Sheng and Chu Ming became nervous when they heard that. Without waiting for Madam Zhang’s urging, they got up and went back to their rooms to read.
Actually, Madam Zhang had said this on purpose to reveal this information to
Chu Heng.
When Chu Heng heard this, he looked over at her.
She knew that her brother-in-law was smart. Because of her eldest daughter’s marriage, Madam Zhang finally understood the benefits of her third brother-in-law’s scholar rank. If it was not for Chu Heng the Song family would probably bully them even more!
“Third Brother, isn’t Teacher Lin leaving? I was thinking of sending the two children to your current school in the county. In the future, when it comes to sending pickled vegetables, just let your eldest brother send them directly.” Madam Zhang then mentioned this matter. She had always wanted to say it but had not found the opportunity. She was busy from time to time. Chu Heng was not surprised at all. “Alright.”
Seeing Chu Heng agree, Madam Zhang heaved a sigh of relief.
Chu Lin also felt relieved. Seeing that his third brother did not say anything, it was obvious that he agreed with their idea.
In terms of studies, he was not as good as his third brother. He also wanted his two sons to be successful, so he naturally valued Chu Heng’s opinion.
“Alright, let’s get down to business.” As soon as Madam Liu spoke, everyone turned to look at Chu Heng.
Chu Heng said, “It’s the ink-making we talked about last time. I plan to discuss this matter with Father and Mother. Ink-making requires an extremely long process. At least half a year, at most a year or two.”
“If we want to do this business, we must invest a lot of money.”
“I have two ideas. Please listen to them.”
“Firstly, I will build an ink workshop under my name. I can only start operating it officially after I gain some fame. Without fame, I can’t keep my skills. I want us to become a family famous for our ink, just not an ordinary ink merchant..”
