390: Chapter 390 Spirit Tablet

Time passed quickly.

Lin Heng and Lin Xiaoxiao arrived in front of the small hut where they once lived.

Looking at the empty house before them, covered in weeds, brought a wave of melancholy.

It has been decades, and it still looks exactly the same as when they were children.

Aside from being more dilapidated, this place was no different from before.

It was as if the traces of time would not appear here.

For a moment, the two were transported back to their purest times, embracing tightly and getting through one cold night after another.

However...

All of this ended with a long sigh from Lin Heng.

"Alright, we're back."

Lin Heng quickly and familiarized himself with putting down his belongings, then took out the cleaning tools and began tidying up.

Lin Xiaoxiao naturally helped out very enthusiastically.

Through the efforts of the two, the room was soon cleaned up. Inside and out, it looked brand new. If someone had come by from the outside at this moment, they would have been instantly impressed.

The festive appearance would make people mistakenly believe this was a very lively and cheerful place.

Yet, little did they know, only a pair of siblings were there reminiscing about the past.

Hoo...

After offering incense, Lin Heng let out a long breath.

Xiaoxiao, who was usually playful and mischievous, was silent this time.

"Mom and Dad... We've come to see you. Don't worry, Xiaoxiao's grades are excellent, and she's about to attend a prestigious university. It's much better than when I was her age. Many famous schools are fighting to recruit her."

"She will surely become a very accomplished person in the future... It counts as bringing honor to the ancestors..."

"Our lives are going very well. We have a good place to live, good clothes to wear, and... we are completely self-sufficient in terms of food, clothing, housing, and transportation. You two can rest assured..."

"..."

Lin Heng rambled on in front of his parents' spirit tablets.

Lin Xiaoxiao, standing beside him, pursed her lips.

She murmured, "Hmph, stop saying useless things here. What Mom and Dad cared about most was whether you have a girlfriend..."

Upon hearing this, Lin Heng was momentarily stunned.

He turned his head to glance at Lin Xiaoxiao.

This girl...

"Are you looking for a beating?"

Lin Heng glared at her.

However, Lin Xiaoxiao merely clasped her hands together, knelt on the prayer cushion, and revealed a sly, charming smile on her face.

She chuckled.

"Hehehe... Brother, you're not young anymore. It's time for you to start a family. I think that Streamer Su Xueer is quite good. She's even a senior at your Longdu University of Economics and Trade... Everyone says, 'A woman in her third year holds a golden brick!' You two are a perfect match!"

"You...!"

Lin Heng was somewhat speechless.

He then let out a wry smile.

"Who taught you to say things like that?"

Hearing this, Lin Xiaoxiao smiled wickedly and continued speaking:

"Never mind who taught me for now. Besides... Sister Xueer's affection for you isn't just for a day or two. You wooden-headed idiot, why can't you figure it out?"

Hearing this, Lin Heng gave a bitter smile.

He slowly spoke, "You are still young; you don't understand these matters."

"Hmph hmph, I'm still young? I'll be eighteen next year, I'm not young anymore!"

"It's you who is already in his twenties and still not thinking about finding a wife. Are you planning to be single until you're old? Mom and Dad won't look kindly upon you then!"

Lin Xiaoxiao snorted, lecturing Lin Heng like a little adult.

As she said this, for some unknown reason, the two plaques on the altar table simultaneously tipped over onto the table, as if nodding in agreement.

Good heavens...

Lin Heng was speechless.

She actually guessed correctly.

Seeing this, Lin Xiaoxiao stood up to set the two spirit tablets upright. She glanced back at Lin Heng and snorted.

"Hmph hmph, didn't I tell you? Mom and Dad in heaven won't spoil you this much!"

However, Lin Heng shook his head with a bitter smile.

He quickly got up and walked in front of Lin Xiaoxiao.

The next second...

Lin Heng made a move, and with a 'pa' sound, he slapped Lin Xiaoxiao's behind.

"Ah! Brother? Why are you hitting me??"

Lin Xiaoxiao cried out in pain, rubbing her backside, saying aggrievedly.

At the same time, she complained, "Hmph! I'm already this old, men and women shouldn't touch! You still hit my bottom. What will happen when I get married in the future??"

But Lin Heng looked completely unconcerned.

He didn't speak, just reached out and took a thin thread hidden in her hand.

To ordinary people, this thing was like nothing, transparent, and impossible to see without looking closely.

But what kind of person was Lin Heng?

He could see this thing with just a faint glance.

The spirit tablets falling onto the table for no reason earlier, wasn't that something Lin Xiaoxiao engineered herself?

She was crying thief while stealing!

"I was wondering why Mom and Dad were so eager to rush me. Turns out it was you little brat secretly causing trouble... Has it been too long since I disciplined you, making you feel like your skin is itching if you aren't dealt with?"

Lin Heng snorted.

Hearing this, Lin Xiaoxiao chuckled slyly, like a child who had been caught doing something wrong.

She lowered her head sheepishly, "Well... I was just anxious for Mom and Dad. You're always busy with your part-time jobs, and I haven't seen you find a girlfriend or anything..."

"I think Sister Xueer treats you very well. Why not just settle for her? Looking at her, she'd practically throw herself at you. Our family wouldn't even need to pay a betrothal gift. Isn't that a good thing?"

Lin Xiaoxiao clearly had some mischievous thoughts.

She just wondered what Su Xueer's reaction would be after hearing these words.

Upon hearing this, Lin Heng quickly slapped Lin Xiaoxiao's delicate bottom with a heavy palm, causing her to cry out in anguish.

She spoke pitifully.

"Brother... how could you be like this..."

"Don't worry about my affairs right now. This is not something you should meddle in."

"Also, stop nagging me about finding a partner in front of Mom and Dad..."

Lin Heng said helplessly.

"Oh... Alright then..."

Lin Xiaoxiao looked miserable.

And just as Lin Heng finished speaking, with a 'pa' sound!

The spirit tablets actually fell onto the table again.

Seeing this, Lin Heng turned his head to look at Lin Xiaoxiao.

Lin Xiaoxiao quickly became nervous. She shook her head with a wry smile, "Brother... It wasn't me this time, I swear it wasn't me!"

"Perhaps... this time it really is Mom and Dad's spirits?"

Soon... Lin Xiaoxiao revealed a mischievous yet adorable smile.

This girl...

She probably hadn't been spanked in too long!

Her skin was itching terribly!

Lin Heng snorted!

He raised his hand and slapped down.

...

Meanwhile.

At the entrance of the village, a peerlessly beautiful woman dressed in a white long dress appeared.

Su Xueer stood on her tiptoes, gazing into the village.
