Fu Bao confidently declared, "I want this butterfly."
"Sure, here you go." The elderly woman smiled warmly as she handed the straw butterfly to Fu Bao. Once Fu Bao held it, she couldn't seem to let go.
Unbeknownst to them, someone nearby observed the scene.
Ah, so she likes this?
Noted.
"How much is it?" Li Xiaojun inquired as he retrieved money from his pocket.
"No need for payment. I can see how adorable the little girl is, so I'm giving it to her as a gift," the elderly woman said, her eyes filled with affection as she looked at Fu Bao.
"No, I insist on paying," Fu Bao insisted, noticing that the elderly woman likely faced hardships given her circumstances.
"Well then, if you insist," Li Xiaojun responded, handing over fifty cents.
The elderly woman accepted the money and retrieved some crumpled change from a small blue cloth bag. She counted out four cents to return to Li Xiaojun.
