Chapter 397: Real Reason

EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Song Lu felt a sense of helplessness.

“Grandpa Chu, this matter…lt’s about family matters…” Song Lu did not know

what to say.

Chu Zhiwen stared at him, wanting to see what he would say. He thought to himself that it was just as his wife had expected. It was not simply for the provincial examination.

Chu Lin was slightly stunned. After hearing Song Lu’s words, how could he not understand that there must be some other reason? He frowned for a moment, afraid that his daughter would be pushed into the fire pit and be deceived by the Song family.

Song Lu saw the warning look in their eyes, and now that he had already been guessed, he did not dare to hide anything. He could only tell them everything.

“It’s like this. In my second uncle’s family, there’s also a cousin who has reached the age of marriage and has already proposed marriage.”

“The elders in the family want to hold the marriage between the two families together.”

“In my opinion, this is something that has never happened before in the village. I don’t want to see Qingxiang suffer because of this.”

“I can only propose an early marriage so that I can miss the opportunity to jointly marry my cousin. This way, the elders in the family can no longer use the timing as an excuse to facilitate this matter. The elders in the family had no choice. They have already spent too much money on my studies,” Song Lu said.

“Now that I’ve achieved something, I should be independent and become the pillar of the family.”

Song Lu did not dare to hide the truth, nor was he in a position to criticize his elders. His words were more protective, putting himself in the lowest position.

Chu Zhiwen nodded. At least from Song Lu’s reaction, this child’s character was not bad. “Ah Lu, I see. But since you’ve already done the right thing, your uncle and I won’t talk about this anymore. We’ll pretend that you never said anything today.”

“Filial piety is a good thing, but you can’t be foolish.”

“There must be a balance between the wife, children, and parents. Only when the family is harmonious can everything prosper.” Chu Zhiwen sincerely hoped that Song Lu would have a better future.

At least from the way they interacted, this child was not stupid.

His mind was also clear.

Even his eldest grandson could not compare to such a talent.

However, there was a difference in age between the two, so it was not good to compare them.

“I’ll remember what Grandpa Chu said.” Song Lu nodded hurriedly.

Chu Zhiwen nodded in satisfaction.

Chu Lin was even more direct. He looked at him and said, “My daughter is smart. She will definitely be able to help you. You just have to promise me that you will trust her in everything in the future. My children are filial. I can guarantee this with my head.”

“Uncle, you’re being too serious. Song Lu knows about Qingxiang’s character and the Chu family’s character.” Song Lu stood up and bowed.

Chu Lin was satisfied with his reaction. He raised his hand and said, “Sit down and talk. We’re family now. There’s no need to bow.” These words meant that he had accepted him.

Song Lu heaved a sigh of relief.

He had long known that a family that could nurture a person like Big Brother Chu Heng must be somewhat different.

Now, it seemed that just this point of being reasonable was enough for the Song family to slowly learn.

Chu Qingxiang had been eavesdropping at the door. When she heard Song Lu’s defense, a happy smile appeared on her face.

However, she was still wary of the Song family.

At Chu Heng’s house…

Ye Muyu had been making ink for four hours in the afternoon.

The progress was quite smooth, and there was already some ink. She only needed to continue to improve the quality before she could sell it. Chu Heng returned in the afternoon, just like yesterday..
