"I want meat! I want meat! I want rabbit meat!"
Tonglai continued to roll on the ground, throwing a tantrum.
Aunt Su hugged the child and cried, saying, "It's my fault as a grandmother for not being capable."
She gritted her teeth, seemingly making a tough decision, and looked up, saying, "Aunt Wang, could you spare some of your rabbit for me? I'll pay for it. I can't bear to see the child suffer like this. He's so deprived!"
Aunt Wang didn't believe she would actually pay, and besides, meat was hard to come by. She had two grandsons of her own to feed.
She said, "That's not possible. I have children to feed too. No, no."
Aunt Su pleaded, "Please, help me out. I'm begging you…"
Aunt Zhou chimed in sarcastically, "You just said you had no money, and now you want to buy a rabbit? Who knows what's true and what's not, huh?"
Aunt Su explained, "I do want to buy it, but… but I don't have the money right now. I'll pay you back at the end of the month when I get my wages."
Oh!
