Chapter 142: Chapter 142 Supreme Quality

She felt a bit embarrassed as she said to the child’s mother, “I’m feeling a bit dizzy over here… The child’s crying is really pitiable, please ask that gentleman to stop hitting him. I have some meat buns here, let the child come over and take one…”

The child’s mother, seemingly without any intention of offering her bunk, furrowed her brows, but upon hearing there was food, quickly turned around, pulled the child from her husband’s grip, rudely dragged the child over to Yang PeiMin, and tossed him in front of her, instructing, “Hurry up and call her Auntie, Auntie has something tasty here.”

The child, with tears and snot flowing, hearing there was food, also stopped crying, but still sobbed intermittently. He wiped his nose with the back of his hand then, turning his palm over, reached out towards Yang PeiMin, “What is it?”

Yang PeiMin couldn’t bear to look directly and took a meat bun from the wax paper, but didn’t give it to him right away, instead she coaxed softly, “Inside the bun is meat filling, very delicious, but you have to tell Auntie your name first, and why you were crying just now. Men aren’t supposed to shed tears, I believe you must have had some trouble, right?”

The little boy wiped his nose again, puffed out his little chest, but looked at her without the usual shyness of children, “I’m Gou Dan, if I tell you, will you give it to me?”

Yang PeiMin nodded, glanced at the onlookers enjoying the spectacle, and as she passed over the child’s mother, who seemed somewhat impatient, she mouthed to her: Your child is so cute! Of course, she made this gesture for all to see, and everyone smiled kindly, seeing it as nothing more than innocent fun with the child.
