After storing the rice, flour, and cooking oil inside her spatial storage, she picked up a basket and headed up the mountain.

She made a special trip past Aunt Zhao's house, where she had stopped her earlier that day.

"Aunt Zhao, I'm going up the mountain to pick mushrooms, do you want to come along?"

Aunt Zhao heard her calling and came out to take a look.

"Going up the mountain so early?"

Lin Shih-han gave a bitter smile:

"Yes, there's no food at home, so I'm going up the mountain to find something to eat. Luckily, we have a mountain here."

"Living off the land because you live near it!"

"Then you go ahead, I still have to do laundry today."

After Aunt Zhao finished speaking, she remembered something else.

"How could the Zhao family not have food?"

His family is considered wealthy in our village.

We all saw it back then; the son-in-law's bride price was several hundred dollars each time.

The rice was bought in 10-jin (5 catties) increments.

"How could there be no food? Why would you have to go up the mountain to find it? Is Granny Li doing this on purpose?"

Lin Shih-Han gave a wry smile.

"Probably not. I checked the kitchen, but there's nothing to eat. I think I'll go up the mountain instead!"

After she finished speaking, she picked up the basket and quickly headed up the mountain, while Aunt Zhao and her husband sighed behind her.

"That old woman Li is too stingy. She only has this one daughter-in-law left in the family, and she doesn't even give her any food."

She's such a miser, not giving a penny. Doesn't she realize that if she acts like this now, who will she rely on when she's old?

Once Lin Shih-Han went up the mountain, she was free, and turned her attention to the city.

She paid the deposit for the villa yesterday, and today she was to pay the full amount, so she went directly to the sales office.

The sales staff who greeted him yesterday were already waiting for him this morning.

In a time when even households with 10,000 yuan in savings were few and far between, villas were not something everyone could afford.

Only a few villas in that villa area have been sold so far.

Among them was a house she sold to Lin Shih-han. She was worried that Lin Shih-han wouldn't come, so she was eagerly waiting for her!

Upon seeing her, he immediately greeted her with joy.

"Comrade Lin, you've arrived!"

"Yes! We agreed to pay the final payment today, how could I not come!"

Okay, let's get the paperwork done.

The salesperson immediately and happily began processing her paperwork.

Then a question came to mind.

"Are you already married?"

"And this house of yours, your husband?"

"Just put the house in my name, my husband doesn't need to worry about it."

"OK!"

The sales staff began processing her paperwork.

So, in addition to building the snake farm, she also has to renovate the villa.

Do you have any renovation companies here that you could recommend?

Upon hearing her question, the salesperson immediately nodded and said:

Yes, yes!

"When do you have time? I'll have someone go find him and arrange for you to come over so you can discuss things in person."

Lin Shih-Han smiled when she heard that there was a decoration company here.

"I have time now."

The staff immediately greeted them warmly:

"Then I'll take you to him right now."

To be honest, that man is my second uncle. He should be doing renovations for someone over there today.

Don't worry, he has plenty of people working for him; they can easily handle decorating your entire villa.

Lin Shih-Han smiled and nodded.

"Okay, then take me there!"

She didn't care whether the other person was related to this man or not.

Since she's going to find someone to renovate anyway, she might be able to put the construction of a snake farm on the agenda while she's at it.

Then we arrived at their newly launched property development.

This property is considered quite high-end by today's standards.

However, the space inside was still a bit small for her; she still preferred living in a villa.

The salesperson's second uncle's surname is Xie.

"Second Uncle, this is Comrade Jiang. She bought a villa outside the city and needs to renovate it."

"Do you have anyone here who can help her pack it?"

Then he introduced Lin Shih-han to...

"This is my second uncle's surname is Xie. You can just call him Old Xie."

Lin Shih-Han greeted the other person with a smile.

"That won't do. Since you're about my age, I'll just call you Uncle Zhao too!"

"Uncle Xie, do you have time to come and take a look at my villa? We can discuss the renovation plans!"

When Xie Tang heard her say this, and observed that the girl spoke fluently and acted efficiently, he realized that she was capable and efficient.

He nodded immediately.

“Okay, I don’t have anything to do here, I’ll go with you to take a look.”

Let's see how to install it.

Then let's discuss the price!

On this day, Lin Shih-han went from the sales office to the apartment buildings, and then to the villas.

The villa's decoration was simple, especially considering that it wasn't very cold in Guangzhou during the winter.

There's no need to install heating or anything like that; if it's cold, she can just hide inside the space.

The space was at a constant temperature, like spring all year round.

“I’ll build a vegetable garden in the backyard so I can grow some vegetables when I have free time.”

Let's plant a row of roses here!

The room doesn't need to be entirely covered with wooden flooring; large tiles are used instead.

The walls can just be plastered and cleaned up. But can you build the doors, beds, and other things directly here?

There are also cabinets, the kind of huge wardrobes that go all the way to the ceiling!

Don't leave it in half; it'll be difficult for me to clean up if the top is sticking out.

Lin Shih-Han unfolded the blueprints and explained them to him as she spoke.

Xie Tang looked at her drawings and listened to her description, and couldn't help but be surprised.

Her decorating style is completely different from theirs now.

"Okay, this isn't that difficult after all!"

After Lin Shih-han made an agreement with him, they discussed the price.

The renovation price includes things like wardrobes, beds, doors, and dining tables.
