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

What Su Ruan can see are peach blossoms, pear blossoms, and cherry blossoms; it must be very beautiful.

The estate is large, but overall it is quite simple.

It's all because when they need to hire workers, a lot of people come.

Their accommodation and meals need to be addressed.

Su Ruan had seen the old-fashioned houses in the town, and one of the most important features was the guest rooms and the large dining room.

During holidays and festivals, relatives and friends from afar would gather at the host's house at the same time for a meal and then stay overnight.

Besides the family reunion dinner where everyone gathers, there are also Qingming Festival, the Ghost Festival, and the National Day holiday, among others.

During Qingming Festival, relatives and friends return to their hometowns to pay respects to their ancestors; during the Lantern Festival, married women return to their parents' home; and during the National Day holiday, it's because of the long holiday.

In short, gatherings in villages and towns are not usually about having a meal and then going their separate ways; rather, they often involve staying overnight.

During busy farming seasons, when hiring help, you need to hire at least ten people to sit at a large table, which is too big for a small restaurant.

Not to mention Brother Zhang's situation.

His medicinal herb fields are large, and he needs a lot of manpower. If he hires people from outside, he will have to be responsible for their accommodation.

Of course, while taking practicality into account, they also tried their best to consider aesthetics.

"Such a big yard, it must take a lot of time to maintain, right?"

Su Ruan immediately thought of this.

When she lived with her grandmother, she cleaned the entire yard, inside and out.

Every day, I have to clean several times.

Brother Zhang smiled and said, "It's alright."

"We don't have such strict rules here, and we don't sweep the yard every day."

"No one usually goes into the guest rooms upstairs, the doors and windows are always closed, and they don't need to be cleaned every day."

"We bought a robot vacuum cleaner for the first floor. It does all the small chores, which saves us a lot of time."

Lu Shuangshuang's eyes sparkled as she listened.

This was the first time she had ever heard of such a down-to-earth lifestyle.

"Our old house's yard is only this big, but we had more than a dozen servants to serve us. Looking back now, it was such a waste!"

"Only my grandmother and I lived in that house. Other people rarely came back; it was usually empty."

Brother Zhang was stunned for a long time, unable to think of how to reply.

His courtyard is considered one of the best in their area.

But it can't compare to the courtyards in their city.

Besides, it's an old house that can afford to employ more than a dozen servants.

It was Lu Yanci who came to the rescue.

"You're always daydreaming. If you dare, go back and tell Grandma to fire all those servants."

Lu Shuangshuang immediately shut her mouth.

Her grandmother, having nothing to do, would look around here and there, making sure there was no dust anywhere in the house, otherwise she would frown.

The yard should be kept clean and tidy, and the flowers should be trimmed nicely.

We also frequently have various guests visiting our home, so someone has to entertain them...

Su Ruan gently covered her mouth and laughed.

Old houses and courtyards represent life, and so does this kind of mountain villa.

Everyone has their own needs, and everyone has their own kind of beauty.

After touring the courtyard, lunch was ready.

"Since we've come all this way, let's go for a stroll in the mountains this afternoon."

After lunch, Brother Zhang made the suggestion.

Lu Shuangshuang was the first to respond.

She was really there to have fun.

Wen Yubai nodded as well.

Looking at Su Ruan, he asked, "Master must have taken you up the mountain to gather herbs, right? Do you remember?"

Su Ruan shook her head.

She couldn't recall anything about the vast medicinal herb fields she had seen before.

Let's go up the mountain and take a look.

Everything that needed to be discussed was discussed at the dinner table, and the contract was signed.

"I know, we won't go too far, we'll just wander around nearby," Brother Zhang said.

"it is good."

After putting on raincoats and shoe covers, the group set off.

The mountains and woodlands seem to be Su Ruan's comfort zone.

She walked steadily and quickly.

They closely followed Zhang Ge's steps.

Lu Shuangshuang was just like a little magpie, chattering non-stop the whole way.

The leaves here, the flowers there—everything was so new and so fun to her.

Su Ruan's gaze swept across the jungle, and the names of every tree and every wild grass popped into her mind.

Grandma Li taught her how to use medicinal herbs.

What about the other plants?

Some were Grandma Zhou, some were kind old men, and some seemed to be very gentle women.

That woman felt incredibly familiar and intimate to her; even the slightest thought of her filled her with joy.

But her face was so blurry, and her voice seemed so distant.

But Su Ruan knew that the woman was her mother, whom she had searched through all her memories but could not find any image of.

A figure moving through the woods, a pair of hands holding hers.

As we walked along the forest path, I taught her about the plants we saw along the way.

Which animals are safe for pigs, cattle, and sheep to eat? Which are poisonous? Which can be used in medicine and sold for profit?

She patiently taught her survival skills.

Her hands were a little rough, but very warm.

"Mommy~"

Su Ruan unconsciously called out softly.

She finally, she finally saw her mother's face clearly.

It was a face that bore a striking resemblance to hers, inheriting the alluring beauty of the Su family lineage.

However, her face was softer and more gentle, and her eyes curved when she smiled, making her extremely beautiful.

Wen Yubai and Lu Yanci stopped in their tracks.

Lu Shuangshuang also looked curiously at Su Ruan, who was holding up a leaf and staring blankly.

Lu Yanci and Wen Yubai did not tell anyone else that Su Ruan had memory loss.

They only gleaned this information from the doctor's fragmented words and their observations of Su Ruan's several memory triggers.

Judging from the current situation, it's clear that Su Ruan has definitely triggered her memories again, and they're about her mother.

This memory trigger allowed Su Ruan to completely immerse herself in this world, moving her from a state of near-departure.

The faint sense of insecurity that had been lingering in Lu Yanci's heart finally disappeared this time.

He didn't know what had happened.

All he knew was that Su Ruan's detached and indifferent demeanor had completely vanished.

He finally felt that sense of security that he could completely hold onto her.

"Quick, we've found an unmarked old clubmoss plant here!"

Wen Yubai and Su Ruan immediately turned their heads away.

His face showed a look of joy.

Lu Shuangshuang looked puzzled.

Su Ruan quickly translated: "An old ginseng is a ginseng of good age. If it's not marked, it means no one is taking care of it and it can be dug up by us."

Lu Shuangshuang suddenly realized: "Then we're rich!"

Su Ruan tapped Lu Shuangshuang on the head, "It's Brother Zhang who pays."

Lu Shuangshuang stuck out her tongue. "Everyone gets a share!"

Wen Yubai walked past from the side.

"Miss Lu, you're absolutely right this time. It really is true that everyone who sees it gets a share."

Lu Shuangshuang's eyes lit up immediately.

"Sister Ruan Ruan, listen, I got a share too!"

Su Ruan smiled.

Lu Shuangshuang quickly took off running towards Brother Zhang.

It ran up to me and then stood obediently in place.

"Brother Zhang, you dig, I won't cause any trouble."

Brother Zhang chuckled, "Thanks to you all."

Lu Shuangshuang chuckled, feeling that she was also blessed.
