After being momentarily stunned by Tang Mo's new-money vibe, Aunt Hua quickly grabbed her empty backpack and started stuffing everything inside.
"Are you silly, child? Didn't your parents teach you not to flash your wealth in front of strangers? How can you be so thoughtless? What would you have done if I were a bad person?"
The worry in Aunt Hua's voice was impossible to hide. For a moment, Tang Mo even had the illusion that Aunt Hua wasn't a stranger she had just met, but a neighborhood aunt who had watched her grow up, or perhaps even a distant relative.
Tang Mo let Aunt Hua pack her bag while she took out a bag of candy. She stuffed a handful into her own pocket, then put a few more pieces into Da Bao's.
Seeing the candy the older sister had stuffed into his pocket, Da Bao instinctively reached to take it out and give it back.
His mother had told him not to accept things from others.
'But… this is candy.'
