Luo Muchen didn't want his mother to see what he had in his hands but he had underestimated her desire for gossip. His mother never beat him or scold him even when he did something wrong. But today for gossip his mother put him in a headlock while yelling give it.
Earlier when he saw the crazed look in her eyes he slipped the envelope down his pyjama shirt thinking it would deter her.
How he even landed in this situation Luo Muchen had no idea. He suddenly opened his eyes and found that his mother had him in a headlock demanding he hand it over.
"No, ma... let me go," he said but his mother was like a bully vowing to not let go until he handed over his lunch money.
"Ya! If you don't give it to me I will have to dig into your clothes and get it myself," she said and Luo Muchen had no choice but to agree.
"Fine, here but don't mess with it. I still have to return the letter," he said and Luo Shih let him go.
