"I am willing to work with my father at his workplace to help out and share the burden at home. At night, I will study hard and enrich my knowledge."
Through my own efforts, and despite my family's relatively comfortable circumstances, I've managed to dedicate more time to my studies. And I believe I will still achieve academic success.
Zhu Yunwen finally smiled and said:
"It's good that you understand. Remember, if a person cannot put their family first, then even if they pass the imperial examinations, they will not put the people first. Do we, the Great Ming Dynasty, really need such an official?"
Taking care of your own family is the foundation for taking care of the community; this is basic common sense that every adult should possess, especially since you are an educated person, you should understand this principle even more clearly than the average person.

"Child, whether you pass the imperial examination or not, you will always be the greatest pride of our family."
