Online dating backfired? A wealthy heir begged me to continue lying to him.

Su Ruan was also envious.

This large detached villa is nestled against the mountains and beside the water, surrounded by familiar villagers, with its own medicinal herb garden. In its spare time, it can even go into the mountains to find medicinal herbs.

This is simply the ideal life.

As for the hard work...

What job isn't hard work?

Here, you don't have to go to work on time every day, and outside of the busy farming season, you have basically free time.

When it rains and I'm feeling lazy, I can just stay home and sleep.

Nobody is constantly pushing you to meet performance targets.

There are no strange or unusual clients to deal with, and no backstabbing office politics.

The only downside is probably the unstable income.

But looking at Brother Zhang's family background, whether it's stable or not doesn't seem to matter.

"Brother Zhang, you can't possibly own all the medicinal herbs in these mountains, can you?"

Su Ruan asked curiously.

If you want to make big money from something that isn't particularly rare, you can only rely on quantity.

Medicinal herbs from outside the region are expensive, but the income from herbs from their place of origin is actually not high.

Brother Zhang smiled and said, "There aren't any left, but about a third of them are grown by our family."

"In recent years, many young people have gone to work in the city, and no one has taken care of the medicinal herb fields at home, so we rented them out."

"Over the years, many households in the village have been left with only the elderly, as the children have all settled in the city, so we have rented some more."

Lu Shuangshuang's eyes widened in surprise.

"You mean a third of all the medicinal herbs on this mountain belong to your family? That's amazing!"

Brother Zhang was all smiles.

"It's all because of my dad. He took advantage of his youth and took over all those fields that no one was farming."

"He couldn't manage to plant them all himself, so he called us all back."

Lu Shuangshuang still found it incredible.

"Such a large area of ​​land, even your family couldn't grow it all."

Lu Shuangshuang nodded.

I was still deeply shocked.

Uncle Zhang is indeed quite young, looking to be only in his thirties or forties.

"My parents got married early. They had my older brother when they were just 20, and then they had my older sister. I am the third child in my family."

What a big family!

"My brother and sister-in-law moved to the city because my nephew needs to go to school."

"My sister is dating a PhD student, and she's studying at the university and doesn't come home."

"Right now, it's just my dad, my mom, and me in my family."

Uncle Zhang and Aunt Zhang smiled warmly at the guests.

"Come in and sit down."

"Lunch will be ready in a bit, you two chat first."

As she spoke, Aunt Zhang went to the kitchen to prepare the food.

Uncle Zhang came over and offered them cigarettes, while Brother Zhang went to make tea.

None of Wen Yubai and the others smoked, so they politely declined and sat down on the sofa.

The villa was also decorated in a very luxurious style, with the feel of a high-end hotel.

Large chandelier, genuine leather sofa, European-style exquisite patterns, simple patterned flooring, central air conditioning, and whole-house fresh air circulation system.

Luxury, extravagance.

The extravagance is visible to the naked eye.

Lu Yanci saw stars in Su Ruan's eyes.

"You like it? Let's find a place you like sometime and build one together."

Su Ruan's eyes widened.

Not so much.

It's really not that bad.

Can she possibly live in so many houses?

That large single-level apartment is enough for her to live in.

Lu Yanci also said he would give her a courtyard house.

How many beds can she sleep in?

Lu Shuangshuang was jealous.

"Brother, I like it too! Why don't you say you'll build one for me too?"

Lu Yanci looked at Lu Shuangshuang with a puzzled expression.

"If you like it, build one yourself. Why do you want me to build it for you? All the money I have now comes from your sister-in-law."

Lu Shuangshuang: ...

"Brother, you weren't like this before."

"With the first pot of gold you earned, you bought two houses, one for you and one for me."

Lu Yanci: "Then you almost gave away the house I bought for you."

Lu Shuangshuang: ...

Can't we just talk normally?

Lu Shuangshuang angrily turned her head to the side.

Su Ruan also knew about the bet between Lu Shuangshuang and Lin Zhiyu.

The reason it happened was because the bet involved the house that Lu Yanci bought for his brother and sister with his first pot of gold.

Lin Zhiyu tried to win the house that belonged to Lu Shuangshuang, which led to her test after she traveled back in time.

Therefore, she did not participate in this topic between the siblings.

Wen Yubai's cold voice rang out beside her.

"I do have a house in the valley, which is very quiet and surrounded by medicinal fields. If you are interested, you can stay there for a few days."

what?

"oh!"

Lu Yanci tugged at Su Ruan's sleeve.

Su Ruan then realized what she had subconsciously replied to.

Then he quickly explained, "When I have the chance, I will definitely visit my senior brother's home."

Wen Yubai didn't say anything more, but his expression grew even colder.

Lu Yanci chuckled to himself behind his back, though no one knew what he was laughing about.

After making tea, Brother Zhang heard that Su Ruan and the others were very interested in his villa, and warmly invited them to visit.

Uncle Zhang quickly added, "Yes, you take your friends and go explore. I'll go help your mother."

Upon hearing that she could go see the villa, Lu Shuangshuang instantly became excited.

"This is good, it's too stuffy sitting here."

She used to be confined to the old house, and was basically not allowed to go anywhere. She rarely had the chance to go out for some fresh air.

Now that she's recovered, she can't sit still anymore and always wants to go out and see the world.

Su Ruan also felt immense pressure sitting there, so she quickly stood up.

"That's exactly what I wanted to see."

She and Lu Shuangshuang exchanged a glance, then held hands and prepared to set off.

Lu Yanci glanced at Su Ruan's hand, which had been snatched away by Lu Shuangshuang, and regretted bringing up Lu Shuangshuang's silly sister's sore spot earlier.

Lu Yanci stood up, and Wen Yubai also stood up.

Lu Yanci turned to look at Wen Yubai: "This isn't your first time here, is it? Want to go take a look too?"

Wen Yubai glanced at Lu Yanci with a faint look, but said nothing.

But that expression said it all: mind your own business.

Su Ruan was completely unaware of the subtle movements of the two people behind her, her heart filled with the joy of being in sync with Lu Shuangshuang.

A cute little girl, a gentle beauty.

The two men's praise and longing made Zhang Ge's lips curl into a smile.

"This is the living room, and this is the tea room. When there are more guests, the male guests who smoke and drink tea will come to the tea room."

"This is the first-floor restroom and storage room, which will be more convenient when there are many guests."

"The kitchen is in the back, and the large and small dining rooms are in this area."

"We usually only use small restaurants, but when there are many people, we need to use large restaurants."

"There's also a yard in the back, where my mom grows vegetables and some flowers. There's also a pond in the back yard, which is convenient for washing vegetables."

"There's a fish pond in this corner where we keep some of the fish we usually eat. You know it's not very convenient here, and we often have a lot of guests, so we just kept some."

"There's a ring of fruit trees on the hillside behind the mountain. Actually, we eat very little of them during the harvest season; we give most of them away. But they're very beautiful when they're in bloom."
