"Maobao'er, what nonsense are you spouting? It's not that I want it; it's for you to offer Uncle Ma a piece as a sign of respect. Can't you even bear to do that?"
The Big Black Cat angrily raised his paw and thwacked Maobao'er on the head.
Stars swirled before Maobao'er's eyes, their rims instantly reddening as tears welled up, glistening.
"You're bullying me again!" Maobao'er wailed.
"I'm not bullying you; I'm doing this for your own good. Uncle Ma isn't an outsider; you can't be so stingy," the Big Black Cat lectured earnestly.
"But I originally had four pieces!" Maobao'er retorted stubbornly, still not producing the tea leaf.
She originally had four pieces. The Big Black Cat had taken half on Wu Kun Mountain, and now, of the remaining two, another half was about to be taken.
Maobao'er's heart ached as if it were bleeding.
