"Alright, go ahead." Chen Zhanshan watched the two leave; he had no intention of getting involved in the old house's affairs.
His daughter hadn't been back for half a month, but judging by the days, she should be back soon. He needed to prepare some good food for her, so he didn't have time to worry about these trivial matters.
Chen Zhancai was furious on the way, but he firmly believed that he was incredibly lucky and would definitely pass the imperial examination in Ningjing.
Even if he fails the exam, there will definitely be even greater opportunities waiting for him, just like when he passes the imperial examination to become a scholar.
He didn't care about the doubts or the ridicule.
When he returns home in glory, that will be the perfect time to slap those people in the face.
Back home, Chen Zhancai began packing his bags, preparing to head to Ningjing the next day.
Old Mrs. Chen was still worried and kept giving Chen Zhancai instructions while holding his hand.

As soon as Old Mrs. Chen finished speaking, Ru Hua came in carrying a bowl of boiled eggs. "Husband, quickly pack these eggs up and save them for the journey."
Upon seeing this, Chen Zhancai felt so disgusted he almost vomited. He thought to himself, "We'll eat at a restaurant when we get hungry along the way. Who would eat this?" He wanted to refuse, but he couldn't very well turn down Ruhua's kindness. He figured he could just feed the stray cats and dogs along the way.
Thinking of this, he nodded and smiled, "Not bad, not bad. These eggs should last me three to five days. Ruhua, I'll leave the house to you."
Ruhua's eyes showed reluctance. "Husband, you can focus on your exams and strive to return as soon as possible. Ruhua will take good care of our parents at home."
