"Okay, right away, but it'll take two days. I still need to take people to see the house and pick out furniture and stuff. Do you have a preferred style?"

"A simple and elegant style is best; I like a clean and simple feel."

After transferring the money to Mr. Liu, Lin Yue drove to the city and stayed at a hotel for two days. When she returned home, everything was ready.

"Ms. Lin, are you satisfied with this?"

The moment Lin Yue pushed open the door, her gaze slowly swept across the room. The furniture was simple and elegant, without any elaborate carvings, and its clean colors made the whole room feel bright and airy. Sunlight streamed in through the curtains, falling on the clean floor, creating a refreshing and serene atmosphere. There was no clutter or ostentation; every arrangement suited her taste.

Lin Yue touched the furniture and tapped around; it was all high-end, not the cheap stuff you'd find elsewhere. She nodded to Mr. Liu. "Not bad. I'm very satisfied." She then transferred 10,000 yuan to him.

"I'm glad you're satisfied. Feel free to contact me anytime if you need anything."

The man surnamed Liu left. Lin Yue sat on the leather sofa in the living room. She then went to look around the various rooms. Each room had been completely changed. She lay down on the bed, feeling incredibly comfortable. That feeling was even more reassuring than when she bought that three-million-dollar house.

After lying in bed, her consciousness entered the spatial dimension, but she still couldn't find Gu Jingyan there. Nor did he leave any information.

Her consciousness emerged from the spatial dimension. She got up, found a piece of paper, and wrote a note asking where Gu Jingyan was.

Why wasn't I in the space? Then I teleported in. I'll check again tomorrow to see if anyone replies.

While Lin Yue was planting flowers in the yard, she was also planting various vegetables in the backyard.

It was just some ordinary home-cooked dishes, like tomatoes, cucumbers, and eggplants. After that, she checked the space every day, but never saw Gu Jingyan again.

"Where is Gu Jingyan? Has he disappeared? Is he not coming in anymore, or... has something happened to him? That shouldn't be the case. Gu Jingyan's cultivation has already reached the Foundation Establishment stage. Whether in this world or that world, no one should be able to harm him. Why hasn't he entered the space again for so long?"

Lin Yue's consciousness searched the entire space but couldn't find Gu Jingyan or anything he had left behind. It remained exactly as it had been when she entered.

Lin Yue was a little worried, but she reminded herself that Gu Jingyan couldn't possibly be in trouble; he had already reached the Foundation Establishment stage. And he had his spatial dimension; if anything happened, he could simply hide there.

Unlike now, only her consciousness can enter the space; once her consciousness enters, her body will begin to fall asleep.

"Yueyue, Yueyue, open the door."

Lin Yue had just sat up when she heard Aunt Pang's voice outside. She immediately put on her slippers and went to the yard.

After opening the gate, I saw Aunt Pang carrying a basket of fruits and vegetables.

"Yueyue, you just got back. These are tomatoes and cucumbers I grew myself. We can't finish them all, so you can have some."

As she spoke, Aunt Pang picked up her basket and walked into the yard.

"what?"

Lin Yue wasn't short of food, but the woman had meant well. She immediately smiled and followed behind the plump aunt.

"Thank you, Auntie. It's perfect timing. I've been buying groceries a lot lately. This will save me money."

Lin Yue stepped forward, took the basket, and happily went into the kitchen.

"Your house is so spacious and beautiful! It's gorgeous. I think even the houses in the city aren't as nice as yours."

Lin Yue put the vegetables down in the kitchen. She then casually took a two-pound piece of pork from the refrigerator and put it in the basket, as a gesture of goodwill.

"It's nothing special. Auntie Pang, do I still have my land?"

Lin Yue hasn't been back for several years. After her grandmother passed away, they stopped caring about their land, and now they don't even know if anyone is farming it.

"Yes, yes, your dad came back before and rented out the land to Liu Er's family. Your family also planted pepper trees on that land, and your Uncle Liu Er has been taking care of it for the past few years, and the trees are growing quite well. If you want to take it back, you can wait until they harvest the peppers this year. As for the rent, it has been given to your dad all these years. You two need to discuss this matter yourselves."

"Alright, I'll go talk to Uncle Liu about this later. Now that I'm back, my land is still mine. As you know, my dad and the others have moved south. I doubt they ever want to come back."

Aunt Pang toured Lin Yue's house, showering her with praise. The best houses in their village before were only two-story buildings, but Lin Yue's villa had become quite a landmark.

"Then I'll head back. Just come find us if you need anything." As Aunt Pang was about to leave, Lin Yue went to the kitchen and brought back the basket.

"You silly child, why are you putting things in there?" Aunt Pang saw that it was a fairly large piece of meat and immediately tried to return it to Lin Yue.

"I only gave you a few pounds of vegetables, and you're treating your aunt like she's begging for food, even giving her meat. Take it back right now."

"Auntie, I bought too much meat. You can take it home and eat it. Your family has helped me a lot. I can't finish it all if you don't eat it."

Lin Yue forced the meat back in.

Aunt Pang felt rather embarrassed after leaving; she had come to deliver vegetables, but ended up taking a piece of meat with her. Walking along the road, Aunt Pang happened to run into Chen Xiuyun from the village. They were of the same generation, both elderly people in the village.

"Sister-in-law, you're coming from Yueyue's house."

As Chen Xiuyun passed by Lin Yue's house, she wondered if the Lin family girl had something wrong with her head. A woman, unmarried, yet she built such a big and nice house in the village. She wondered what she was after; was she planning to find a son-in-law in the future?

"Yes, Lin Yue just got back, and she hasn't planted anything in the fields yet. I have a lot of vegetables at home that I can't finish, so I'm sending some to her."

The two walked and talked. Chen Xiuyun immediately became interested:

"Do you think Yueyue will be looking for a son-in-law in the future? I reckon she should be thirty this year. I remember she's three years older than my Lanlan. My Lanlan's child is already five years old, and she still hasn't found someone."

"Yes, she's thirty. A few years younger than my eldest son. My grandson will be starting junior high school in the fall. Thirty is the age to get married, but this girl has a hard life. Her grandma passed away, and her parents are like that, so no one talks to her about these things."

Aunt Pang calculated Lin Yue's age; she was thirty, not young anymore. In the countryside, she was considered an old maid, but her children said there were plenty of unmarried women in their thirties outside the village.

"But it's a choice for young people these days, it's up to them. Young people don't want to get married. My daughter is the same. Whenever I bring up marriage, she argues with me in every way, and I can't win an argument with her."

"How can that be? She's thirty and still not married. What if she gets too old in a few years and can't find anyone? And, and, having children at that age is also a problem. She doesn't have any adults in her family, so we have to take care of her."

Chen Xiuyun was already thinking to herself, wondering if her nephew had any chance. It's so hard to find a wife these days; there are no girls left in the village.
