The middle-aged man said sternly, "Young lady, what you just said isn't right. Stealing is illegal; although we're street vendors, we are also law-abiding citizens. This is Ancient Jade from 800 years ago, I'm only asking for twenty thousand yuan, which is already cheap. Some people have offered fifty thousand, and I didn't sell it. Young lady, don't be ungrateful."
"You must think I'm a three-year-old, don't you? It's obviously fake jade; how could real jade shatter when dropped? It's clearly made of glass. Could they even make glass 800 years ago? Who would believe that? Fine, I'll give you two hundred yuan. Stop causing trouble, or I'll call the police," Liu Shanshan said. She had always been well-behaved and didn't want to stir up trouble. Although she knew she had been scammed, she attributed it to bad luck. Being a girl, she felt powerless to argue with these grown men over rights.
Life is full of disappointments, and sometimes you have to let things slide.
