Thank you Xuan’er Feifei for the reward, thank you!

As the group walked out of the breakfast shop, Luo Zhiyong whispered to Zhou Yunmei, "Mom, things are expensive in the county, don’t shout about the prices when you hear them. People will laugh at us; they might think we ate without intending to pay and deliberately caused trouble in the shop."
"How come? Just because their stuff is overpriced, am I not allowed to speak up?" Zhou Yunmei said, still looking displeasedly at Fang Pingying.
"Earlier, it was you guys. If it were me, I definitely wouldn’t have paid that much, at most twenty cents. I think those items are really only worth ten cents, yet their shop dared to charge fifty cents."
Fang Pingying gave a helpless smile, truly unable to understand Zhou Yunmei’s mentality about spending money.
Sometimes she spends freely when there’s no need, other times she’s excessively stingy. Yet, she begrudges spending a little on eating something.
Seeing Zhou Yunmei still shouting even though she was wrong, Luo Zhiyong’s face darkened as he tried to reason with her, "It’s not you who decides how much things should cost, it’s the store’s listed price. If you want to eat, you pay; if not, you should ask the price beforehand."
Zhou Yunmei completely disagreed with Luo Zhiyong’s view.
With a disdainful expression, she retorted to Luo Zhiyong, "How can you say that? In our town, everything is negotiable. If the seller asks for twenty cents for vegetables, I’d only give ten cents, and they still have to sell it to me or they wouldn’t even earn that ten cents."
