WHAT THEY REALLY MEAN (PRAGMATIC SUBTEXT)
“Don't be polite with me, we are family and you don't need to say thanks.”
💡 Cultural Insight: Familial Closeness (Bukeji)

In Chinese culture, excessive politeness like saying 'thank you' among close family members can feel alienating or distant, so relatives often playfully reject it.
