The crowd saw Huang Mao arguing with the woman and mostly sympathized with him, after all, he was a beggar, an underprivileged person.
But when they found out that Huang Mao had actually stolen from the woman, they looked down on him with disdain. You have hands and feet, being a beggar is already shameful enough.
Now you're even stealing other people's things, truly shameless, you deserve to be a beggar!
Facing everyone's accusations, Huang Mao felt immense grievance and shouted, "I only took a few buns, does that count as stealing?"
The bystanders, who initially stood on the moral high ground and criticized Huang Mao, were stunned. He didn't steal the girl's valuables but just took a few buns? Could it be that this beggar was simply starving?
And this girl too, he just took a few buns, is it necessary to shout and make such a fuss?
