"Mrs. Jia, what you're saying makes no sense at all. These lunch boxes have been mine from the very beginning. I only agreed to bring them home for your family because First Uncle told me your family was struggling. I thought that as neighbors, we should help each other out whenever we could, so I agreed. But that doesn't mean my lunch boxes have become the private property of the Jia family."
As he spoke, Shazhu spread his hands, his face full of helplessness and grievance.
