"You're going to pull out all my vegetables to plant pear trees?"
"Does a small pear tree really need to take over the entire vegetable garden?"
"If we don't grow vegetables, what will we eat?"
"What? You said we'll buy vegetables every day?"
"Oh, our family buying vegetables to eat?!"
Mrs. Cai blocked the garden entrance like a protective mother hen, reciting her complaints to Zhao Xing.
"Mrs. Cai, I'll cover the cost of buying vegetables, alright?" Zhao Xing said helplessly.
Mrs. Cai, a bit reluctant, replied, "It's not about the money, really. I just can't bear to part with this vegetable garden. I love growing vegetables myself for the family to eat..."
"I'll pay double for the vegetables!"
Mrs. Cai's face immediately lit up, and she stepped aside. "Go ahead and pull them up, pull them up. Do you want me to help?"
"..." Zhao Xing found it amusing how quickly she changed her tune.
"No need for your help, I can handle it myself."
