Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

“I hope that Father, Mother, Eldest Brother, Eldest Sister-in-law, Second Brother, you can understand this.”

“Secondly, I can teach you how to make ink. It depends on whether you plan to make your own ink and sell it or cooperate with me. I will arrange for you to do whatever you are good at. You will receive a monthly salary.” Chu Heng did not elaborate further.

When he finished speaking, the entire place fell silent.

Madam Liu was shocked by Chu Heng’s words.

Madam Zhang was somewhat hesitant, not knowing what to choose.

On the other hand, Chu Cai said without thinking, “Third Brother, I’ll work for you. I’ll do whatever you want me to do. As for the monthly salary, you’re my third brother after all. You definitely won’t starve me to death.”

His thoughts were in line with his honest personality. After all, the money earned from selling pickled cabbages at home was enough for his son to study.

He only needed a fixed job and earn extra money when he was idle. That would be enough for him to live.

“Third Brother, ink making is very expensive. Do you have enough money?” Chu Lin asked.

“Enough.” At this moment, Chu Heng did not conceal his aura.

Chu Lin’s eyes flashed with surprise. He recalled that his family had more than fifty taels of silver now. To him, it could almost be described as a sudden wealth.

However, to Chu Heng, that was only enough to make a little ink. It was like how they treated making pickled vegetables.

Chu Lin suddenly thought it through. Yes, even if he and his second brother combined, they would definitely not be as smart as his third brother, let alone his ability to earn money.

Although he was the eldest son and had to inherit his parents’ property and provide for his parents, the three brothers had been living separate lives. Even if they lived together, they could not control their third brother’s matters.

In other words, if Third Brother became rich, it would not have much to do with them, and others would not comment anything either.

However, it was clear that his third brother had the intention to help them.

Moreover, his third brother’s family had just opened a bookstore, and it was said that it would cost a few hundred taels of silver. To him, this was simply a huge sum of money.

Now, his third brother was planning to open an ink workshop and even become a family famous for ink-making.

At this moment, Chu Lin felt that even if he tried his best, he would still be able to catch up to Chu Heng. This year was especially so. If his third brother passed the imperial examination, he might even become a scholar.

He instantly understood that Chu Heng would reach a height that he could not see sooner or later.

It was said that if someone was around the same level as one, one would only be jealous. If someone stood at a height that one could not see, there would be no jealousy at all. There would only be admiration.

This was Chu Lin’s thought.

“Third Brother, I have the same thoughts as second brother. I will have to rely on you in the future.” Chu Lin took a deep breath and made a decision.

After more than ten years, Chu Lin recalled what happened today and realized how much his decision had affected his life and even affected the younger generations.

Chu Heng’s deep eyes fell on their faces as if he were confirming something.

Chu Lin was a little confused, but he subconsciously straightened his back to make himself look more confident.

Chu Cai was a little confused. He reached out and touched his face.

When Chu Zhiwen heard about becoming an aristocratic family, he could only be happy. After all, it was his son. His third son walked the path of being an official. It was only safe for his other two sons to be helped by his third son and do things they were good at.

As for the choice of his two sons, he would not interfere. His sons had grown up and had to take responsibility for their own choices.

Madam Liu thought about the same thing as Chu Zhiwen. She even thought more and could tell that Chu Heng was asking seriously. He also had the intention to helping the eldest and the second..
