"You snake and rat—"
The child's unfinished words caught in his throat under the stern gaze of the child opposite him.
Auntie Zhao frowned.
She was shocked, and she also felt a little dislike for this child—almost revulsion.
Did this child know what that idiom meant?
Was he just taking it literally and using it carelessly?
Or...
Did this child know how serious the meaning of that idiom was?
Apart from that child...
This was the first time she had encountered something like this...
Auntie Zhao could barely stifle a laugh.
Her face was full of confusion and helplessness.
"Do you know there are security cameras nearby?"
You're really being petty.
How could you wrong a child?
Uncertainty and confusion showed on her face.
The situation was very unfavorable for her now.
Unfortunately, that was just how things stood.
"Then we'll ask the police to contact your parents."
"You'll be late getting home if this drags on."
She hadn't needed this child's help to pick up the vegetables in the first place.
Auntie Zhao's heart gave a little jolt.
She was angry, exasperated, and at a loss.
"Do you want to go and check?"
Her conscience was clear.
She had nothing to feel guilty about.
The girl in the middle immediately shook her head.
A child who had done something wrong, refused to admit it, and then turned around and blamed someone else...
It wasn't a big deal, anyway.
The calm girl turned her head.
"Check the security footage."
She made a show of reaching for her phone.
The calm girl's lips curled again.
The calm child's lips lifted slightly.
Auntie Zhao turned her head to look at the child who had surprised her by stepping forward to speak up for her...
"Ma'am."
