I Bought Cherries and Went Home for the Chinese New Year, but My Mother Said I Was Showing Off My Stinky Appearance

About This Novel
Two days before New Year's Eve, I took annual leave and went back to my hometown. In the evening, I opened and washed the cherries I bought specially from the imported supermarket and brought them to my mother who was watching TV. Mom glanced at the purple-red fruit, and then squinted at me. "Actually, you're quite capable of showing off." My action of wiping my hands froze in mid-air. "What?" "Okay," my mother interrupted, her tone a little irritable. "Your brother has just lost his job, so you are carrying such an expensive thing, are you trying to belittle him?" "You don't want to help your family even if you have this money, you just enjoy yourself." I lowered my eyes and didn't refute. She doesn't know that I am allergic to cherries and never eat them. I bought these two boxes of fruits because she casually mentioned on the phone last week that she wanted to eat them.
