"Sister, will Grandma like this bracelet?" Zhang Weiyu asked Annie, picking up a bright red garnet bracelet.
"Third son, I already said that Grandma will like anything you send."
"Okay, this is it. But shopkeeper, I won't bargain, but you have to give me these two rings for free."
Upon inspection, the shopkeeper realized they were two ordinary rings made of unknown materials.
"Little friend, this bracelet isn't even profitable to begin with, and you want me to give it away for free? That's really not possible."
"Hehe, then forget it, sis, let's go. There are plenty of shops ahead, and there's plenty of this kind of stuff."
Annie suppressed a laugh and nodded. The three of them turned and left, completely ignoring the stall owner's shouts.
Seeing that the deal was about to fall through, the man immediately stepped over the stall and grabbed Zhang Weiyu.
"Little friend, we can talk about it. Okay, we're about to close up shop, but I'll make an exception and sell it to you today."
"How can that be? How can we let you lose money? Let's just forget about it."
"We won't lose money, we won't lose money, we'll just make a little less profit." The stall owner pulled Zhang Weiyu back. He quickly put the bracelet into a wooden box and handed it to Zhang Weiyu.
"Little friend, these two rings are for you too. To be honest, I don't even know what they are. I found them at the foot of a mountain in the suburbs. The family was so poor they couldn't even afford to eat. The old lady was sick, and they had no other choice but to pawn a lot of things."
Zhang Weiyu took the ring, casually put it in his pocket, and took out some money to hand to the stall owner. He asked nonchalantly, "Stadium owner, I just like these strange and unusual things. What else did you get from them? Let me see?"
"It's been five or six years, they've all been sold out, only these two rings are left and nobody wants them."
"Alright then, I wish the stall owner great success in business." He then left with a smile.
"San'er, you can do it!" Annie exclaimed with a smile, praising Wei Yu.
"Sis, you can praise me like that!" Zhang Weiyu smiled, but only those closest to him knew the excitement in his eyes.
He met Zhang Zhenye a short while later. Zhang Weiyu glanced at his brother.
Zhang Zhenye narrowed his eyes. He didn't know what the third brother meant, but he knew that the third brother must have something exciting to say.
They then separated again, and as the eldest, he had to look after the younger ones. But that didn't stop him from choosing gifts for the elderly.
It wasn't until 5 p.m., when all the shops and stalls had packed up, that they reluctantly headed home.
They had planned to go ice skating in the park, but they didn't end up going. It was so late by then that they reluctantly left.
"Boss, this place is so interesting! I've really learned something new," Zhang Ruifeng exclaimed.
"Yes, boss, second brother is right. We'll come back to visit again when we have the chance."
"Okay, but we'll have to find some books to read when we get back."
Zhang Shouyi came home early today. The two children are leaving tomorrow, so he can't be late today. Besides, he hasn't seen his wife for several days and misses her both physically and mentally.
When he returned home, the children were not there, but he saw his wife sitting in the living room reading a book, and he suddenly felt a sense of peace and tranquility.
Hearing the noise, Zhang Hongmei looked up at the tall, handsome man who had entered, and smiled, as if a hundred flowers were blooming.
Zhang Shouyi, supporting himself on the sofa blanket, bent down and gave his wife a deep kiss.
After a while, Zhang Hongmei pushed him away; this guy was getting more and more outrageous.
"The children should come back."
"Honey, I miss you so much."
"Yes, Brother Zhang, I miss you too."
Zhang Shouyi sat down next to his wife, and the two talked about what had happened in the past few days.
When the children returned, the house immediately became lively, with everyone sitting around Zhang Hongmei, showing off their day's harvest.
Dinner was exceptionally lavish; there were many dishes that are rarely made on the table today.
Knowing that Annie and her family would be leaving tomorrow, the children took extra care of them.
Zhang Hongmei had already asked Lu Jing to pack up all of Annie's things that afternoon. There were two large bags of clothes alone, and another bag of jewelry.
After dinner, the children all went to prepare gifts for the elderly, so they were busy until nine o'clock before they finally went to wash up and rest.
Zhang Shouyi took a bath early and waited for his wife.
Just then, Zhang Weiyu and the other three came in. "Dad, where's Mom?"
"I'll be there in a bit. What's wrong?" The sons usually wouldn't come at this time.
Zhang Weiyu handed the two rings to Zhang Shouyi. "Dad, I received these at Panjiayuan today."
Zhang Shouyi squinted at the two rings in his hand; these were the same as the six he had at home.
"Please sit down, your mother will be out soon." He then got out of bed.
Zhang Hongmei came out of the space and returned to her room, where she saw her four sons, which puzzled her.
Zhang Shouyi handed the ring to Zhang Hongmei. "Wife, this is what San found today."
Zhang Hongmei took them and looked at them. Her pupils contracted slightly as she probed out. These two were also storage rings. How could there be so many?
In front of the children, he took out the contents of a ring, which were all gold, but inside a small wooden box lay a letter.
Zhang Hongmei put everything away before sitting down, holding the wooden box.
This letter was written by that ancestor, and it explains that there are eight storage rings in total. Below the letter are the cultivation techniques that his family desires most, since there are only three levels at the beginning, and these are the remaining seven levels.
It also revealed that the Cui family's fate was only nine hundred years, warning future generations not to defy the will of Heaven.
Zhang Hongmei found it very amusing; how could fate be so accurate? She handed the cultivation manual to Zhang Shouyi.
"The other ring also contains gold."
“Alright, you can keep it. One is enough for San’er.” Zhang Shouyi secretly observed his third son.
Zhang Weiyu really didn't care. He already had one, so there was no point in having more. He only had one, and it was still a long way from being full.
Zhang Shouyi was in a good mood. He studied the martial arts technique with his sons, making sure all four of them memorized it, before shooing them away.
The four of them exchanged glances and went back to their rooms; they would be leaving tomorrow too. Let's discuss this when it's just the four of them alone.
Zhang Shouyi picked up Zhang Hongmei from the long bed. "Wife, everything else has to come later, you have to satisfy me first."
Zhang Hongmei also missed him, so the couple felt that absence made the heart grow fonder.
It wasn't until late at night, after the couple each had a glass of water, that they lay down and began to talk about what had happened that day.
"Brother Zhang, there are three extras. Would you like to take one?"
"No need, one is enough for the two of us, let's keep it."
"I never expected there were still seven layers of the technique remaining."
"Wife, if we both practice this, can we live for several more decades?"
"Probably. My ancestor wasn't very reliable either, and he didn't give any instructions."
