 Chapter 474: Gain Some, Lose Some

"Thank you for your concern, Madam. This servant understands."


Ye Muyu nodded and didn't say more.


She knew that Chu Heng would come back later, so she didn't wait for him.

The old house.


When Chu Heng arrived, Zhang was cooking dinner—simple fare, just whole grain noodles.


Accompanying Chu Heng was Chu Cai.


Chuheng went to call his second brother, Chu Cai and coincidentally he had just finished eating, so he joined them.


"Third son, second son? You're here?" Chu Zhiwen, holding a hoe, poked his head in from outside and entered, followed by Chu Lin.


Chu Zhiwen had just seen the figures of the two from afar and thought he was mistaken.


"Second brother, third brother, have you had dinner?" Chu Lin noticed that Zhang and their mother were not in the courtyard, indicating that the two younger brothers had just arrived.


"We have. Eldest brother, father, you go wash up and have dinner first. We'll talk later." Chu Heng made it clear that they would discuss matters after dinner.


Chu Zhiwen, understand his son, nodded when he heard this, placed the hoe in the corner, and washed his hands.


Chu Lin hesitated, not knowing what his third brother had come for.


He still remembered that it wasn't even half a month since his third brother left for the provincial exam.


"Eldest brother, if you have something to say, let's wait until after dinner. There's no rush." Chu Heng had a magic power that could calm people down. Seeing Chu Lin's slightly agitated mood, he made eye contact with him and after hearing his words Chulin's mood relaxed.


He smiled, "Third brother is right. Eldest brother is too preoccupied."


Chu Heng noticed that Chu Zhiwen 's face was full of fatigue, with his brows furrowed from time to time, obviously troubled.


Although he guessed it had to do with Chu Qingxiang, there was an old saying that went, "Gain some, lose some." If one kept worrying about it, it would be better to choose to give up before getting married.


While thinking about these things, he remained expressionless, and with each step, he walked towards the main hall.


After taking a couple of steps, Chu Heng was stopped by Chu Cai. "Third brother, is there something wrong with eldest brother's family? I didn't quite understand what you said just now."


Chu Heng looked at his usually honest and steadfast second brother, accustomed to him not being too bright, and said, "Since it's a troubling matter, eldest brother should be the one to talk about it. Second brother, aren't you the one who dislikes trouble the most?"


"Is it something troubling that doesn't concern me?" Chu Cai, upon hearing Chu Heng's words, felt relieved.


Following that, Chu Heng said, "Not really."


At the moment, Chu Cai was suddenly reminded "What's going on? But now that you've mentioned it, I've become curious."


However, Chu Heng no longer intended to enlighten him. Since they were going to develop the family, they needed to understand each other more to walk the path smoothly.


"Second brother, it's time to pay more attention to other families. After all, we all share the same surname, and in critical moments, we are all connected."


"You can only live wisely if you can see clearly."


Hearing Chu Heng's reminder, Chu Cai, though he might not understand, felt that his third brother's words made sense. If he could see clearly, why not just take the imperial examination?


But for some reason, he also felt that his third brother was right. Walking while contemplating his brother's words, he suddenly felt wiser.


The main hall of the old house was very large because the house was built with a lot of money.


The hall could accommodate three tables.


Chu Heng sat with Chu Cai at one of the tables, drinking tea.


Chu Liushi and others were having dinner.


Perhaps because everyone in the main house had something on their minds, this meal was eaten in complete silence.
