Rebirth: Splendid Marriage in the 80s

Chapter 481: Chapter 482: He is Ashamed

Chiang Xiao was actually startled by their reaction.

Uncle Huo was already excitedly saying, ”Miss Xiao Chiang! If you can revive the Ancient Tea Tree, you can take as much tea powder as you like, and I’ll give it to you for free!”

Uh...

For free?

Chiang Xiao thought to herself, do you think my tea cake business won’t take off, that I’ll just be dabbling and won’t be buying much stock?

Do you have any idea how popular matcha will be in the future?

Chiang Xiao’s mind quickly started to whirl again.

”Tea powder for free isn’t necessary; how about I use reviving the tea tree as my investment into your Tea Garden Villa, and in return, I get a 10% share of the profits from the sale of the tea leaves from the Ancient Tea Tree? What do you think?”

Although reviving this tree amounted to doing the Huo Family a huge favor, she didn’t want the profits from any other tea, just from this Ancient Tea Tree.

This way, it really wouldn’t count as taking advantage of the Huo Family.

Old Huo and Uncle Huo exchanged looks, barely believing at this time that Chiang Xiao had the ability. Yet, the tea was crucial for them, and they now had no other alternative but to try this desperate remedy – treating a dead horse as if it were alive.

”Miss Xiao Chiang, if you can really revive this tea tree, let alone 10%, I’ll give you 30% of the tea tree’s sales profits,” Uncle Huo said with a wry smile.

Chiang Xiao immediately agreed, ”Okay. Let’s draw up an agreement then! And while we’re at it, let’s draft the agreement for the tea powder and honey as well.”

She glanced at Hu Xibing, ”Brother Hu, if that’s the case, then I’ll have to stay here a couple more days; is that okay with you?”

Hu Xibing, already dumbfounded by her, replied subconsciously, ”Of course, why wouldn’t it be?”

And so, they settled in at the Tea Garden Villa owned by the Huo Family.

To make it look real, Chiang Xiao even made a trip down the mountain that day, claiming she was going back to the city to find some Medicinal Soil for reviving the trees. Hu Xibing wanted to follow, but Chiang Xiao refused. Jokingly, if he really went with her, wouldn’t she be exposed?

After all, she didn’t actually go to the city but walked a bit farther to a secluded place, flashed into the Space, and filled a small sack with Black Soil.

That piece of Black Land had dug out a hole for her, and just as she hesitated, the hole slowly started to fill up automatically right before her eyes.

It was then that Chiang Xiao breathed a sigh of relief.

If this soil wasn’t inexhaustible, she would really be reluctant to take any of it away.

Fortunately, the Space was considerate enough to refill itself after digging.

However, she felt that the effects of the Black Soil would be discounted once it left the Space; it definitely wouldn’t be as miraculous as it was within it. Fortunately, that was what she wanted. If it were too miraculous, she felt it would be too conspicuous.

Timing it well, Chiang Xiao emerged from the Space and hurried back to the Tea Garden Villa. Seeing her returning with just a small bag of black soil, the Huo Family father and son were both skeptical and expectant.

”Miss Xiao Chiang, the tea tree is already planted. We chose a good spot on Tea Mountain especially for it. What should be done with this?” asked Uncle Huo.

Hu Xibing had already taken the small bag from Chiang Xiao’s hands.

It felt heavy the moment he took it.

He was inwardly shocked—Chiang Xiao had carried such a heavy bag up the mountain? Wasn’t she tired? How could she carry it?

Such incredible strength!

Then he regretted not insisting on accompanying her. Having let sister-in-law do such laborious work—Captain Meng had specifically instructed him to take good care of her—he felt ashamed!

However, when Chiang Xiao was determined, he was helpless; he didn’t have the authority to speak to her commandingly like Captain Meng, and he felt that if he did, he would surely suffer a terrible fate.
