Gu Fei still had candy, but she wasn't willing to give it away.
'Young or old, when they ask me for things, can't they just say it nicely?'
'They're all so aggressive, and they even blame me, as if I owe them something.'
'Fine! I won't give them a thing!'
Gu Fei simply shook her head. "I'm really all out."
Leaning on her cane, the old lady sneered, "I see it clearly now. That girl has started to hate me."
"Go on, you lot, keep protecting her. She's an ungrateful brat. You'll all see one day!"
The old lady turned to leave. Gu Qing stepped forward. "Grandma, let me help you."
The old lady forcefully shrugged him off. "I don't need your help! I can walk on my own!"
A moment later, the old lady was out the door. From the next courtyard came Bao'er's bright, piping voice. "Grandma, where's the candy you went to get me?"
The old lady muttered something in a low voice.
Suddenly, Bao'er started wailing again. "I don't care! I want candy! I want candy—"
