"Sister Niu, my mom said the bean sprouts are for you. You don't need to return the soybeans, or else my mom will scold me if she finds out."
Lin Xiang stuffed a handful of fruit candies into Dong Sheng's jacket pocket, along with a few Big White Rabbit milk candies. "If she scolds you, just say I told you so. Hurry back, don't delay on the road, get home early and rest."
"Thank you, Sister Niu!"
Dong Sheng returned home with the soybeans and repeated what Lin Xiang had said to Fifth Aunt.
He thought he would be scolded harshly, but Fifth Aunt just gave a helpless smile, "This kid really doesn't take advantage at all."
Lin Xiang washed up and went to bed.
Just as she lay down, Mrs. Lin, who had been lying with her back to her, suddenly jumped up into a sitting position.
"Mom, what's up with you?"
Mrs. Lin sat cross-legged and asked Lin Xiang, "Tell me honestly, are you interested in Lin Yun?"
"Hmm?" A series of question marks flashed through Lin Xiang's mind.
