Mrs. Chen slapped Gu Sanlang on the back. "Riches? Don't count your chickens before they hatch!"
Gu Zhang looked at Gu Sanlang. "Don't go shouting about this outside. We don't know if it will even work. Raising pearl clams requires a lot of capital and takes a long time. Plus, the pearl clams get sick and die easily. It's not that simple to raise them. We could lose our entire investment."
Gu Zhang saw Gu Sanlang deflate instantly, and Gu Erlang lost his spirit as well.
He added, "But no matter how difficult, we have to do it. It's fine if we lose a little at the start. If we succeed, the profits won't be just a little bit. For generations to come, our family can rely on this skill to not just survive, but to live well."
Mrs. Chen looked at Gu Fei. She finally understood why Gu Fei had wanted to go into the silver building to look at pearls that day. So, she had been planning to raise pearl clams all along.
