Otherwise, Chu Heng would have opened his own ink workshop long ago. Why would he choose or even discuss it with them?

Seeing that Chu Lin had agreed, Madam Liu heaved a sigh of relief.

Although she did not know where Chu Heng’s confidence came from, she had an inexplicable intuition that they believed him.

“Third Brother, what do you need us to do? Just tell us directly.” Madam Zhang could not wait to do something, and if she did not work, she would not have the face to ask for money.

“Soon. I’ll inform you when the time is right.” Chu Heng nodded.

He did not have any intention of going into the details.

Chu Lin and Chu Cai were too shy to ask, so the topic passed.

“Ah Heng, have you heard about the Song family?” Under Madam Zhang’s anxious signal, Madam Liu sighed and said.

After all, Qingxiang was her granddaughter. She had to be considerate. She would not feel at ease if she allowed her to be bullied. She would help if she could, but she could not made decisions for Chu Heng.

Thus, after Madam Liu finished speaking, she sat up straight and did not intend to say anything more.

Madam Zhang did not expect too much. After all, her mother-in-law had always liked fairness. If she insisted more, it would only make the elders angry. The gains would not make up for the losses.

“The Song family? What’s the matter?” Chu Heng glanced at Chu Lin and his wife, asking.

Chu Lin deliberated for a moment. “It’s an old problem. Didn’t the empress pass away? If marriage is prohibited, then the previously set date will not work.”

“I don’t know if something happened to the Song family, but they strongly requested to hold a banquet with the son of the second branch of the Song family. Because in a month, the closest date that can be chosen is also when the wedding of the son of the second branch of the Song family will be held.”

“This time, the Song family is very firm. They even said that they would only give six strings of silver as stated previously, not six taels.” Chu Lin frowned slightly. He could not understand why the Song family’s attitude had changed so drastically.

Previously, when they came to discuss, they were forbearing. Why did it seem like they would be firm with their decision even if they argued?

When Madam Zhang heard this, she could not control her temper at all. She slammed her palm on the table and said angrily, “That Song family is bullying my Chu family!”

“We clearly agreed on it before, but they’re going back on their word now.” “In my opinion, they think that my daughter must marry Song Lu!”

“There’s also Qingxiang. Why did she meet Song Lu alone and get caught by Madam Huang? At that time, she didn’t say a word, so I thought she was as happy as I was that my daughter and her son had a good relationship.”

“So she deliberately grabbed hold of the evidence and used it to ask us to relent and give in on the marriage!”

“We can’t let this matter go just like that. Does he really think that my daughter has to marry him? If we give in this time, they will think that our Chu family is easy to bully. After Qingxiang gets married, won’t she be bullied too?”

“Mother, no matter what you say, I will not back down this time.” Madam Zhang threw caution to the wind. She had been suppressing the anger in her heart for a long time. Otherwise, she would not have such a big reaction.

“Even if I give up on this marriage, I can’t be bullied by the Song family for no reason. I only like Song Lu because he has a calm and responsible personality and a good temper. That’s why I tolerated the Song family. Besides, there’s also the fact that they still have many young children in the family.”

“But they’re pushing their luck now..”
