PWDLAW Chapter 476: Decision

 Chapter 476: Decision

"On this point, I hope that parents, older brother and sister-in-law, and second brother, you can understand."


"Secondly, I can teach you the method of making ink. Depending on whether you want to make ink to sell on your own, or cooperate with me, I will arrange tasks according to your strengths and there will be monthly wages."


Chu Heng didn't elaborate further.


After he finished speaking, the whole room fell silent.


Chu Liushi was shocked by the four words 'famous ink family' mentioned by Chu Heng.


Zhang, on the other hand hesitated, unsure of what to choose.


Surprisingly, Chu Cai spoke without hesitation, "Third brother, I'll work with you. Whatever you ask me to do, I'll do. As for the monthly wages, since you're my third brother, you won't let me starve."


His thoughts completely matched his honest nature. After all, the money earned from selling pickled vegetables in the family was enough for his son's education. He only needed a steady job to earn some money during the slack season to make a living.


Chu Lin asked, "Third brother, making ink is expensive. Do you have enough money?"


"Enough." Chu Heng didn't hide his confidence at this moment.


Chu Lin's eyes flashed with astonishment. He thought that with the fifty or so taels of silver they had saved up, they could be considered wealthy. But in his third brother's mouth, it was only enough to buy a little ink, just like letting them sell pickled vegetables.


Chu Lin suddenly realized that even if he and his second brother combined their efforts, they wouldn't be as clever as their third brother, nor would they have his ability to earn money.


Although he was the eldest son and would inherit his parents' property in the future to support his parents, now that the three brothers had separated households, at most they would live together, but he couldn't interfere in his third brother's affairs.


If his third brother became successful, they wouldn't be able to control him and no one would say anything about it.


But obviously, his third brother had the intention of promoting them.


Moreover, his third brother had just opened a bookstore which reportedly cost several hundred taels of silver. For him, this was a huge sum of money.


And now, his third brother was planning to open an ink-making workshop and even establish a famous ink family!


In that instant, Chu Lin felt that even if he tried his best, he couldn't keep up with Chu Heng's pace. This year in particular, if his third brother passed the imperial examination or even became a Jinshi (a successful candidate in the highest imperial examinations), it would be even more so.


He suddenly understood that Chu Heng would eventually reach heights beyond his reach.


People always say that if someone is about as good as you, you'll only feel jealous. But if they're standing at a height you can't see, you won't feel jealous at all, only admiration and envy.


That was Chu Lin's current mindset.


"Third brother, I have the same idea as second brother. We'll rely on you in the future." Chu Lin took a deep breath and made a decision.


Several decades later, when Chu Lin looked back on this scene, he realized how much his decision at this moment had influenced his life and even the lives of his descendants for generations.


Chu Heng's deep gaze fell on the two of them, as if confirming something.


Chu Lin felt a bit inexplicable but subconsciously straightened his back to appear more confident.


Chu Cai felt a bit confused and touched his face.


Chu Zhiwen laughed when he heard about the famous ink family. After all, they were his sons. Chu Heng would pursue an official career, and his other two sons, being promoted by their third brother, would do tasks they were good at, which was the safest option.


As for the choices of his two sons, he wouldn't interfere. His sons were grown up and had to take responsibility for their own decisions.


Chu Liushi thought along the same lines as Chu Zhiwen, and even more. She even realized that Chu Heng was seriously asking and had the intention of promoting the eldest and second eldest.
