Go or not?

Being opposite the street of Shi Mansion, Wu Cai couldn't help but wasted a little. Two and a half months ago, he had not taken that step after standing here. Now he was traveling in the old place, but he struggled again, and once again the scenes after leaving the restaurant that day appeared.

The money is very hot!

Wu Cai, who had ten taels of silver in his arms, didn't even know how to walk home.

Why is this happening?

What does he mean?

Isn't he afraid...

"I don't care..."

Once again, Shi Yiwen's indifferent words appeared in his mind.

Before he knew it, he returned home. Wu Cai looked up at the dilapidated courtyard gate. It was a dilapidated and narrow courtyard. The walls of the courtyard were short and broken, and weeds grew between the walls and bricks. In the entrance of this alley, there was no more dilapidated courtyard than this.

It was already very dark. With the faint oil lamp in the main hall, we could see a woman in the yard holding a wooden basin in her hand and was about to wash clothes. When she saw Wu Cai coming in, the tired woman smiled at him.

"My husband, I'm back, the meal is ready, it's in the pot..."

While talking, the woman put the wooden basin in her hand on the ground and walked towards the kitchen. Looking at the woman's background, Wu Cai sighed and sat in the yard for a long time without saying a word.

The meal was served on the table.

A bowl of porridge and a plate of pickles.

Looking at the extremely simple food on the table and the half-thin and half-thick porridge in the bowl, he knew that the woman must have eaten porridge that was similar to shabu shabu water today, and the food at home was out of food again!

Looking up at the woman's thin body, Wu Cai sighed, and he touched the silver ingot again.

When I touched the silver, countless thoughts flashed through those eyes, and my brows frowned and tightened.

Sleepless overnight!

Wu Cai, who had not slept peacefully all night, had dark eyes. He was standing by the roadside with his hands on his back, staring at the opposite courtyard gate with swollen eyes. He was not unfamiliar with this courtyard gate. A few days ago, he figured out the raw materials needed to make soap. Although he didn't know what the raw materials were for, he believed that he could earn a fortune with this discovery. He had been struggling for almost an hour that day, but he still didn't take that step.

Now, he was standing by the roadside again, looking at the gate of the Shi family over there. Even though Wu Cai, who seemed to have made up his mind for a night yesterday, seemed to have made up his mind, he hesitated again.

Is this step or not?

Life is the best teacher for a person. He failed to pass the imperial examination for twenty years and exhausted his family property, which made Wu Cai suffer a lot. Although he could always make money by cheating, deep down, he also longed to live a good life. After all, his wife has suffered a lot with him over the years, and even his daughter has no status in her parents' home because of her own. If he were a juren, how could he...

Of course, he had long given up his imperial examination and was even discouraged and felt that even if he was given another twenty years, it would be difficult to pass the Jinshi exam.

Originally, Wu Cai might have lived a life of selling calligraphy and paintings and writing letters in his life, but his unintentional "acquaintance" with Shi Yiwen caused a lot of trouble in his heart.

One hundred taels of silver!

I just gave it to him directly. As long as he wanted, he could go to this person's house to get the remaining ninety taels.

Then what?

Do business?

Do business?

Making soap?

If you really made soap, you probably would have made soap a long time ago.

What if you make soap?

Naturally, Wu Cai thought of the Tang family, thought of the earlier conflict between Tang family soap shop and Tuanjie Soap Factory, and then suddenly, the Tang family withdrew from the soap market.

Did they really quit?

This is not important, it is this hundred taels of silver.

...Perhaps, you can use that hundred taels of silver to study, or maybe you can pass the imperial examination or pass the imperial examination.

But...now, is it possible to get the remaining money?

So long has passed, and...why are those silver easy to get?

With a long sigh, Wu Cai stared at the Shi family's door. He had thought a lot in the past two and a half months. At first, he was a little arrogant, but slowly he clearly realized what he needed.

He needs money to change his life, which is what he needs very much.

The Wu family itself is a commoner. The books he had read for decades have long exhausted the family's wealth. In the early years, his family members occasionally received a little money. After years, he failed to pass the exam for a juren, so he naturally stopped providing support. Therefore, his life became increasingly poor, and he even had to rely on women to do needlework and the money his daughter received from his in-laws' house to help.

Life is too difficult.

Thinking of the conversation with Shi Yiwen that day, Wu Cai believed that as long as he could devote himself to him, even if he was not able to get enough, he would never have to worry about food and clothing.

Although he didn't know much about Shi Yiwen, Wu Cai knew very surely that Shi Yiwen was not from a wealthy family. He had just made a fortune, not because he knew him, but because he didn't even follow a scholar, but just followed his maid. A wealthy young man would follow a maid, but he was also indispensable.

Thinking that most of the people in the factory are from the Song family, Wu Cai believed that Shi Yiwen lacks the most now. Of course, this person is not a scholar, servant, or slave, but a person who gives advice for him.

Wu Cai believed that he could be such a person!

I hope...

There is a rare opportunity right now. If you miss this opportunity, you won’t know when you will have such an opportunity next time.

Taking a deep breath, Wu Cai walked towards the gate of Shi Mansion.

"He doesn't want money?"

Just after breakfast, Shi Yiwen was stunned when he heard Uncle De’s report. He didn’t expect that Wu Cai, who had no news for a long time, would come to the door at this time. When Uncle De heard that it was him, he took him ninety taels of silver as he had told him.

But he refused.

"Young Master, that person said, he doesn't want money, he just wants to see you."

"oh."

The corners of his lips raised lightly, Shi Yiwen smiled.

"Let him come in!"

After entering the room, Wu Cai bowed to Shi Yiwen.

"Wu Cai has met the young master."

He started casually and returned the gift, and then Shi Yiwen said.

"Why do you want to see me? As long as you take the money, you can leave."

Shi Yiwen looked like he was not sure.

"Young Master, I'm here to pay back the money."

After saying that, Wu Cai took out a ten tael of silver ingot and then put the silver on the table.

Looking at the silver on the table, Shi Yiwen smiled.

"Repay the money? If I remember correctly, I'm afraid there's more than this ingot!"

Wu Cai didn't think anything was wrong about Shi Yiwen's re-report of the old things, but just said with a smile.

"That ingot of silver is earned by his ability, but this ingot is worthless and he must not be asked for."

"oh?"

Looking at Wu Cai, Shi Yiwen felt happy.

The so-called "slaughtering eagle" is a joy. The guy in front of him is not a pure scholar. A person who is so righteous even lying is so reasonable. If he can "slaughter" it, it may come in handy.

I gave him money to "shouying the eagle". Originally, he didn't come the next day, but he just thought he had taken a look. Now he came to pay back the money, which aroused Shi Yiwen's interest in "shouying the eagle". I think that in the past two months, Wu Cai himself has "shouying" himself a lot.

"Okay, since that's the case, then let the money be put here!"

After saying that, Shi Yiwen looked like he was sending off the guests.

Well……

Wu Cai opened his eyes wide.

No, why is this happening?

Mr. Shi shouldn't have tried to keep him. He was polite and reluctantly drove him. Why... Seeing that Shi Yiwen had no intention of keeping him, Wu Cai, who was secretly heartbroken, was a bachelor, and asked directly.

"Why don't you keep me?"

"Why should I keep you?"

Shi Yiwen was happy. This guy looked arrogant before, but now he has changed his appearance.

"Because, I, I..."

When the words came to his mouth, Wu Cai became stuttering.

Indeed, why did he keep himself?

After asking back, Wu Cai's hesitation and stuttering fell into Shi Yiwen's eyes, making him sigh in his heart.

It's not an eagle after all... I've given up before I can bear it.
