When Liu Chi heard that Yang Gongbing was going to build a spray machine workshop, and that it had great importance, he often went to the woodworking workshop to patrol. Then, he thought of his father and wanted to use this opportunity to connect him with Yang Gongbing.
Hearing that Liu Niu had been chosen, the entire family heaved a sigh of relief. However, Madam Liu became worried. "If you work in the workshop and can't take on other jobs, Chi'er won't have enough money for his daily expenses."
Liu Niu frowned and looked at his son. "I have three days of rest every month. I'll take more work when I come back."
Three days of work was not enough for him to take on larger jobs. He could only take on menial tasks, but how was that enough for Liu Chi to spend?
Madam Liu said, "Why don't you not join them? Let's save some money and send Chi'er to the academy. If he gets the dean's recognition, he can still become an official."
