The skinny lady sat down next to Lin Manman, looked at the book in Lin Manman's hand, and chatted casually:
"You are such a kind-hearted young comrade! He is still reading a book. You can tell at a glance that he is a cultured person!"
"Little comrade, what's your name? How old are you this year? Where are you going? Visiting relatives or going home?"
Although people nowadays chat with each other on the train, Lin Manman always felt uncomfortable with the skinny old lady's questions. It didn't seem like chatting, but more like checking the household registration book!

After saying that, Lin Manman lay down on the table and pretended to fall asleep.
The skinny old lady saw Lin Manman sleeping on the table and whispered unhappily:
"Why is this girl so lazy? This is not okay. We need to take care of her!"
Lin Manman did hear these words, but she sneered at them. What does it have to do with you whether someone is lazy or not? This lady is really nosy!
