Yes, I Have Double Standards

Chu Hanming immediately panicked upon hearing this and waved his hands anxiously, saying, "What are you doing, A'Li? I'm not here to ask for money."

Nanli blinked and said, "Second Uncle, you are an elder, and it's only right for me to show my respect as a junior. Now that you have brought chicken soup for me, how can I feel at ease? Second Uncle, this thousand taels are not much. Please accept it, or I will feel guilty."

Rainbow had already fetched the silver notes and placed them on the table in front of Chu Hanming.

Chu Hanming now understood Nanli's intentions. She was trying to preempt any requests for favors by giving him money. Feeling a bit annoyed, he thought Nanli was just finding an excuse because she disliked the quality of his ingredients and didn't want to be asked for a favor. However, being thick-skinned, he chuckled and said, "A'Li, if you're worried about feeling guilty, how about helping your uncle with a small favor?"
