Hindi term or phrase: Arre... to sunao kahani... batao
here's the context:
...Harish-Harry’s wife arrived on Sunday mornings after she had washed her hair...
“Arre, Biju . . . to sunao kahani,” she always said, “batao . . . what’s the story?”
But it didn’t matter that he had no story to tell, because she went immediately to the ledgers kept under a row of gods and incense sticks...

can you tell me, please, what the hindi phrase above literally means? and thanks in advance
