Lin Qing knew she couldn't hide it any longer, so she spoke directly.
"Oh my, is that the bamboo grove at the foot of the mountain? The bamboo shoots are already growing."
"Yes, it's that bamboo grove over there."
"Oh, that's great! Let's go dig for bamboo shoots together tomorrow."
The older woman slapped her thigh and said to the older woman next to her.
