When Mo Yuan, Lin Xue, and Lin Lei reappeared before everyone with big bags and big smiles, under the gazes of the neighbors who were surprised, puzzled, or envious, the whole street instantly erupted in excitement!
People whispered and discussed amongst themselves, their voices rising and falling like a pot of boiling water, creating a lively and bustling atmosphere. After all, not long ago, they had witnessed the Lin family's impoverished state, struggling to even afford a decent meal. Now, Mo Yuan and his companions were returning home so triumphantly, laden with their spoils – how could this not shock and intrigue them?
"This is unbelievable! I thought these things were gifts from someone else, but I never imagined that Mo Yuan actually bought them with his own money!" An older woman exclaimed, her eyes wide with disbelief.
"That's right, who doesn't know the Lin family's situation? Forget about big meals, sometimes they can't even afford to cook! I heard at noon today that the new son-in-law came to visit, and all they had was a plate of fried eggs, and they even had to borrow those eggs from the neighbors! How could things change so drastically all of a sudden? There must be something fishy going on!" Another old man shook his head and sighed repeatedly.
At this moment, someone chimed in, "That's right! Logically speaking, the Lin family's situation couldn't possibly have changed so drastically in just one afternoon. The only explanation is, as Lin Lei said before, that Mo Yuan bought all of this! Just who is this young man? How can he be so rich!"
Faced with the surging questions and curiosity from the surrounding crowd, Lin Xue seemed somewhat at a loss. Her face flushed, and she lowered her head, unsure how to answer everyone's questions. Mo Yuan, on the other hand, maintained a smile throughout, politely nodding to everyone, but when questioned about his identity and the source of his wealth, he simply smiled faintly and remained silent.
Seeing this, Lin Lei couldn't help but feel annoyed. He struggled to push through the crowd blocking his way, shouting, "Excuse me, uncles and aunties, please make way! We're in a hurry to get home, please be kind enough to let us through!"
However, the enthusiastic neighbors did not stop at Lin Lei's shouts; instead, more and more people gathered, completely surrounding Mo Yuan and his companions, making it impossible for them to move an inch. Helpless, Lin Lei had to use all his strength, fighting his way through the encirclement with great effort, before finally managing to lead Mo Yuan and Lin Xue back to the Lin family home with great difficulty.
As soon as she stepped into the house and finally found her footing, Wang Wanru looked up and saw Mo Yuan carrying large bags and small packages. A look of joy appeared on her face, but she still said politely, "Oh my, Mo Yuan, look at you, spending so much! You're such a thoughtful child, but don't do this next time. Come in and rest for a while!"
As she spoke, she hurriedly stepped forward and took the heavy items from Mo Yuan's hands.
Standing to the side, Lin Zhennan chimed in, "Kid, we all know this is your first time visiting, and you want to make a good impression. That's enough; there's really no need to go to such lengths!"
Upon hearing this, Mo Yuan was extremely humble, saying that it was nothing more than what he should do. "Mom and Dad, Lin Xue and I finally had the chance to visit, so please allow us to express our gratitude. You may not know, but we actually planned to come a long time ago, but we were always tied up with various matters, which is why it was delayed until today. I feel truly guilty and uneasy about this. Being able to marry Lin Xue is an immense blessing for me, so what is this little thing? Right, Lin Xue?"
Lin Xue nodded quickly in agreement, and said with a smile, "That's right, Mom. Don't thank me yet. In a little while, let us cook a sumptuous meal for you and Dad, so you can taste Mo Yuan's excellent cooking skills. I guarantee it will surprise you!"
Upon hearing this, Wang Wanru quickly shook her head and waved her hands, saying with a reproachful look, "That won't do! What nonsense are you talking about! You've come all this way, how can I let you cook? Mo Yuan, you should rest well and leave everything to your mother! It'll be good for you to taste my cooking skills!"
In Wang Wanru's opinion, Mo Yuan was ultimately a guest, and there was no way to ask a guest to cook, especially since he had just spent a lot of money to buy such a large amount of things.
However, Lin Xue didn't think so. She had long been spoiled by Mo Yuan's superb cooking skills and now only wanted to create an opportunity for Mo Yuan to show off his skills.
Therefore, they still insisted that Wang Wanru rest.
