How can this not be considered a soft bone with a hard bone?

The young woman went to buy sugarcane, and the shopkeeper initially agreed to the terms.

Sugarcane, peeled, costs 16 yuan.

But after it's been peeled, it costs 24 yuan just to open your mouth.

The young woman said she didn't want it anymore and turned to leave.

The boss grabbed the young woman's bag and said, "You're not leaving until you pay!"

The young woman didn't know what to do, so she just stood there and cried for half an hour in a pathetic state.

Just then, an older woman passing by asked, "Young lady, what's wrong?"

The young woman cried as she recounted how her boss had cheated her.

[A kind-hearted auntie, about 1 meters tall, jumped up and slapped the boss after hearing this.]

[They said he's too shameless as a boss; they need to get rid of that thick skin.]

[This young woman seems pathetic for not giving the 24 yuan; yet she also seems strong-willed for crying motionless on the roadside for half an hour.]

Fortunately, crying for half an hour wasn't useless; a kind-hearted auntie appeared out of nowhere and upheld justice.

"You could say she's tough, because if the boss doesn't want her to leave, she really won't. But you could also say she's spineless, because she can cry for half an hour straight without giving up on paying her."

"If you encounter a shady merchant... and you stand there crying your eyes out for half an hour... then an auntie will automatically jump up and slap the boss [write this down in a notebook]."

"If it were me, I would yell at the top of my lungs, 'This swindler is charging me 24 for something that costs 16, and the peeling fee is 8 yuan! I won't buy it. It costs 8 yuan just to peel this!'"

"Um, I've encountered this before. They agreed to chop off the root and top, and I picked out the pieces, but they wouldn't. I said I didn't want them and was about to leave when the shopkeeper pointed a knife at me and said, 'What are you pretending for?' I looked at him blankly and said, 'What am I pretending for? Are you trying to force me to buy?' He started cursing at me, and I said, 'Go ahead and chop me if you dare,' but he kept cursing. It was pretty ridiculous. Isn't it my right not to buy?"

"Why is sugarcane so expensive? Here, a whole stalk costs five yuan, and they even peel it for you."

"I went to buy fruit with my boyfriend the other day. He saw a really big sugarcane and picked it up to tease me. I thought he wanted to eat it, so I went to ask the vendor how much it cost. The vendor said 52 yuan a piece [smile]. I turned around and told him to put it down right away. Is fruit really that expensive now? [smile]"

"At the high-speed rail station, the taxi fare was initially agreed to be 15 yuan, and he even helped me carry my two suitcases. Just before I got out, he said I needed to pay an extra 5 yuan. I didn't dare argue and paid anyway [crying emoji]. I cursed him in my heart, 'He even dares to rip off locals!' [awkward laugh emoji]"

"Back when I was in Dongguan, I would go into mobile phone stores to look at mobile phones."

I just asked the shop owner how much that phone cost.

He said 1800 and I said it was too expensive.

He said he'd give you 1500 and then went to pack it up.

I have no idea what he's doing.

He asked me to pay, and I was completely bewildered.

They even blocked my way, preventing a teenage girl like me from leaving.

The shouting during the forced sale was terrifying.

I called the police [emo/fashionista]”

"[Tears streaming down my face] I remember a girl who was verbally abused by her driving instructor. The insults were really vulgar. She went to the driving school, but they didn't care and even mocked her. They wouldn't give her a refund. The girl stood at the entrance of the driving school and cried for a whole day, telling everyone who wanted to go in what had happened. The driving school couldn't take it anymore and gave her a refund."

The elderly women buying groceries under the canopy immediately couldn't stand it anymore: "What kind of behavior is this vendor showing off to a young woman? He's really shameless."

If it were me, I would just stand in front of his stall and yell at others not to buy from him, saying that there's some old geezer selling sugarcane who's cheating people.

This thing costs 16 yuan, and then they sell it for 24 yuan. They're ripping off us ordinary folks with our hard-earned money!

Everyone come and give me your opinion! How can you do business like this? If I don't buy it, is he going to chop me up with his machete?

That unscrupulous businessman dared to try and force me to buy things from him today, cheating me out of my money and treating me like a fool. I'll make sure his shop can't stay open in Qingshui Town and he has to pack his bags and leave as soon as possible.

Young women who care about their image: When it comes to reasoning with those street vendors, I really don't know as much as my mother.

Whenever my mom was busy, I would go out to buy groceries for her. The shopkeeper seemed quite kind, but he would always give me a few extra coins. I was so clueless back then, I didn't even realize it! ⊙﹏⊙

When I got home after grocery shopping, my mother checked the bill and realized that I had only bought a few bunches of leafy greens and barely any meat. How could it have cost so much money?

Enraged, she angrily cursed the group of unscrupulous merchants who only knew how to cheat people, even children. They had no shame, making money through dishonest means without fear of future misfortune and retribution.

I was young and didn't know what to do, so I just stood there like a pillar, not daring to say a word. Fortunately, my mother didn't blame me for the incident; she focused all her attention on cursing those unscrupulous and greedy business owners.

He immediately took the vegetables and led me to confront the restaurant owners.

Now when I go out to buy groceries, the vendors recognize me as my mother's daughter and will carefully calculate my payment, not daring to overcharge me by a single penny, for fear that my mother will come looking for them again.

I really got away with this. Every time I went to the market with my sisters, I would use my mother's name to intimidate them.
