"Seeing me ask for tea again, I realized that Chen Hong was starting to regret giving us the tea."

I felt a little embarrassed myself, wondering if we were being too greedy.

At first, I even suggested that Chen Hong find someone to buy tea for us.

It was only when Chen Hong said that the tea was so precious that it couldn't be priced that I realized what was going on.

"I was being too arrogant! I even told Chen Hong I'd take as many as she had, let her name her price, and I'd buy the whole orchard for her!"

Zhou Yi's father nodded sheepishly and handed his wife a cup of Yunwu tea.

"We didn't think too much about it at the time. We felt that this tea was of good quality, so we should get as much as we could!"

Who wouldn't want such good tea? But now that I think about it, with such good quality, the price must be extremely high.

Truly good tea is produced in low quantities, since top-quality tea trees cannot grow in just any environment.

For example, the mother tree of "Da Hong Pao" sold for over 200,000 yuan for 20 grams at the tea expo two years ago, and over 5 million yuan for 1 jin (500 grams).

The Yunwu tea that Chen Hong gave us is of even better quality than Da Hong Pao. If it were to be launched on the market and hyped up a bit, it's hard to say how much it would sell for.

The world lacks everything, but it is never short of wise people with vision and insight, nor is it short of wealthy families who are willing to spend lavishly on health and longevity.

The two pieces of jewelry we gave Chen Hong were truly insignificant compared to the value of the Yunwu tea; Chen Hong really got ripped off!

Uncle Zhou smiled and said, "We already owe Chen Hong a favor, and we've received a lot of help from her since we came to Yujia Village."

Now that the Yunwu tea incident has happened, our family owes Chen Hong more and more favors.

Did you notice? Chen Hong must have found out that we are Zhou Yi's parents.

However, since we didn't reveal our identities, Chen Hong pretended to be confused as well, so it seems she won't be considering marriage anytime soon.

These past two days, another family dispute involving marital breakdown has occurred in the village. It seems like the timing isn't right for us to send a matchmaker to propose marriage.

At least now, we're not in a favorable position either, and we're not in a good position either. Chen Hong's attitude is also very clear now.

Everything depends on the right time, place, and people; the same applies to seeking a spouse and arranging a marriage.

Since we lack favorable timing and harmonious relationships, the location is not so important either. Therefore, we should not rush into marriage or engagement based on the I Ching during this period.

Let's put this aside for now and let Zhou Yi and Chen Hong talk freely! We, as the elderly, shouldn't put pressure on the children.

They are not young anymore; they have both experienced failed marriages, and they know in their hearts where their relationship has reached.

We have come to understand Chen Hong's personality and character, and once we accept her, we feel at ease.

Perhaps if we hadn't gotten involved, and without the pressure from their families, their relationship would have progressed much faster!

Zhou Yi's last marriage was due to pressure from his family, which led to a hasty marriage without him properly understanding Zhao Yumin's character and conduct.

Looking back now, judging a person's character and upbringing solely by their family background and social status is somewhat biased. Perhaps what children value most is spiritual connection.

In this era, some things change so rapidly that some of our old ideas as older people may really be outdated.

Let go! Don't be fixated on any particular form of marriage. As long as the children are happy, whether they live together or the son-in-law moves in, let them be!

Zhou Yi's mother and father exchanged helpless glances. What could they, as parents, do?

This time, acting on my own initiative almost caused a conflict with Chen Hong. Her children were incredibly understanding and tolerant, taking care of both their physical well-being and their emotional well-being.

They really can't break the ice and leave each other no room for compromise.

Since we can't talk about feelings now, we can only talk about interests. The old lady added:

"I told Chen Hong that we're going back to Beijing tomorrow. Knowing how precious this Yunwu tea is, I didn't dare bring up the wine again."

How about this? We'll calculate the price for Chen Hong based on the price of top-grade "Da Hong Pao" tea.

Although our family doesn't have that much money, we still have quite a few gold and jade jewelry pieces.

I've kept it and haven't been able to bear giving it away. I wanted to leave it to my children to share after I died, so they would remember me.

I've already given my eldest daughter-in-law a few items; I plan to choose the rest and give them to Chen Hong.

Regardless of whether she and Zhou Yi end up together, I like this child's character, and I feel at ease giving her this child.

We can't just take such precious things for nothing. These jewels aren't food or drink anyway; if we can exchange them for some good tea, we can use it to nourish our health and live a few more years—it's not a bad deal.”

Uncle Zhou nodded: "That would be best! I also have some good things left by your sister-in-law."

Over the years, these objects have reminded me of her, and I've long since locked them away. When I go back, I'll keep one or two pieces, and send the rest to Chen Hong.

Good things deserve good people, and I wouldn't mind giving them to Chen Hong. She's allowed me to live a few more years without illness or pain, so I'm grateful to her.

I would be even happier if she could marry into our Zhou family during my lifetime.

Even if she doesn't marry Zhou Yi in the end, I can still come to Weihai to stay sometime and treat her like my own niece.

This child doesn't like to take advantage of others, so I believe she won't turn us away.

Also, we can't even tell the eldest son and his wife about this cloud and mist tea when we get back, because too many people will gossip.

"If this gets out, it will not only cause trouble for Chen Hong, but there are countless people across the country with more power than our family. We can forget about ever getting our hands on a single ounce of tea again."

Zhou Yi's mother and father exchanged a glance and nodded in unison: "Big brother, we've got it!"

After seeing Zhou Yi's mother off, Chen Hong returned to the living room and thought for a while, concluding that the three elders of the Zhou family would keep her secret.

She secretly rejoiced that she had only given two catties of the cloud and mist tea produced in her space to the Zhou family elders, so it was still not too late to make amends.

The tea I gave to my younger sister, Fang Yitong, Director Guan, and General Manager Wang from Jinan was all wild tea picked from deep in the mountains.

Although it tastes good and is of high quality, it doesn't have any miraculous medicinal effects.

The fruits and dried fruits in the space, if not consumed continuously over a long period, would not arouse suspicion from others simply because they taste good.

She'll have to be more careful from now on. No matter how good the relationship, she can only give honey and dried fruit produced in her space as gifts.

Gifts given during the four seasons of the year are not given frequently, so their health benefits are not particularly surprising.

Honey and fruit are rich in nutrients, which can regulate the stomach and intestines, promote metabolism, and beautify the skin.

It won't be too outrageous, nor too attention-grabbing; it will be low-key! Low-key!! Low-key!!

Chen Hong patted her face, reminding herself: Don't forget your first goal after being reborn: survive and develop! Survive and live! Survive and get rich!

I'll say it three times because it's important! Seeing that it was almost lunchtime, Chen Hong carelessly went to the kitchen to prepare lunch again.

Xiaoyun and the others went to the orchard to check on the pears and pick corn. I asked them to pick some tender peanuts to cook while they were there. Why aren't they home yet?

It's almost noon and the temperature is so hot, I'm not worried about my child getting heatstroke!
