 Chapter 391: Being Strong is Better Than Anything

Seeing that Chu Liushi did not object, Zhang brought up the matter of Chu Heng "Mother, think about it. Third Brother will be leaving for the capital to take the exam in less than a month. At that time, he will have to bring one or two servants with him."


"After Third Brother leaves, taking away half of the servants, Third Brother's wife will be alone at home. With the remaining servants helping us deliver pickled vegetables, it will be a bit difficult."


"Now that our family has a cattle cart, it's embarrassing to trouble Third Brother and Third Brother's wife again." Zhang knew that she could take advantage of this situation because of the two elders. However, to speak nicely she had to say it this way.


Chu Liushi glanced at her. How could she not know what Zhang was thinking?


However, regardless of what the eldest daughter-in-law was thinking, as long as the family had no conflicts, she would be happy.


"Is the eldest son also of this opinion?"


Chu Lin had gone to the fields and wasn't at home during this time, cultivating some vegetables.


"Of course, my daughter-in-law has already discussed it with my son-in-law." As soon as Zhang Shi heard this, she knew there was hope. A hint of joy flashed in her eyes.


Chu Liushi had actually considered this point. Although she hoped her third son would pass the imperial examination, she also needed to consider what would happen if he didn't.


The first family had already been promoted. The money earned from selling pickled vegetables in a year was enough to allow the two children to study until the age of seventeen.


In the future, they couldn't rely solely on the third family to promote them. If they didn't work hard themselves, even if the third son became an official, it might not be a good thing for the entire family.


Thinking of this, Chu Liushi agreed.


However, she had to warn Zhang in advance "Since you and the eldest son have thought about it, I will talk to the third son another day. Don't be dissatisfied and regret it later."


Zhang immediately understood that Chu Liushi was reminding her not to refuse now and then later feel embarrassed to ask others to deliver pickled vegetables again.


She had thought about it before. If it had been before, she would have regretted not being able to take advantage of this small benefit.


But now, the big benefits had been directly given to her by Ye Muyu.


She looked at Chu Liushi, forced a smile and said, "Mother, the way you put it, it seems like troubling the third son was a special case before. Now, it's not appropriate to continue troubling him."


"I was still thinking about inviting the third son and the third son's wife to dinner at the end of the month to show gratitude."


Zhang didn't care about this small advantage anymore. She made this decision very happily without any hesitation. Instead, she felt delighted that her family could gradually prosper.


In fact, anyone would prefer to become prosperous on their own rather than taking advantage of others.


After all, taking advantage of others meant being at their mercy, occasionally being squeezed but if she became prosperous herself, who would dare to give her a hard time?


Feeling the sweetness of prosperity, Zhang became confident.


Seeing that she was sincere and not pretending, Chu Liushi nodded, no longer making things difficult for her. "Since that's the case, then go and send Ah Ming and Ah Sheng to the county school. When Ah Heng was about twelve or thirteen years old, he also went to the county school."


"Mother, it's settled then. I'll find a time to ask about the county school, whether they can start school in September. Although generally, students can only start school in the spring, with some connections and pulling some strings, we can get them in through the back door."


This kind of thing had never been completely eliminated from ancient times to the present.


"Well, you just need to know the limits."


Zhang naturally nodded and agreed with a smile.


Chu Ming and Chu Sheng didn't expect that they would really be able to go to the county school to study. Both of them were very happy. As the eldest juniors in the family, they had been compared with their third uncle Chu Heng since they were young.
