"Sister, why are you showing me these things? I have no idea."
"As long as you work hard, you can support yourself in any job. If your mother really abandons you, just be the best child you can be. She'll definitely come back, but not with a bang like she did just now. Believe it or not, look outside. Some women literally cry and even kneel down to win back their loved ones. It's like a child who sees a toy in the mall and absolutely wants it. Even if they know it's not right for them, they still waste time and do things that embarrass themselves. That's called wasting time, and time is money. Time can also make you super smart. Do you want to try it?"
"Okay, okay, sister, thank you."
"Shopkeeper, I'd like to ask, when can we start taking pictures?"
"If I were to ask you, it would probably be when you tell me the answer honestly."
"Frankly, I don't understand what kind of answer you want."
"Actually, you know it all, even without me telling you. It's probably because you're confused right now that you're easily led astray. But if you have any questions, you can always come and tell me. What do you think?"
"Of course. But clerk, you won't be taking pictures of me today?"
"Yes, that's right. I really won't take a picture of you. I'm so sorry. I don't want to, but what can I do? I'm too sleepy and want to go home and rest. Good night."
"Wait a minute, it's morning now. Your store just opened, and you want to close it?"
"Of course I'm really sleepy, don't you think? When I saw you, my eyelids almost fell shut. Do you think you can let me take a picture of you and your daughter? How about this, you can come back tomorrow."
"Absolutely not, and I tell you..."
"Ji Nianqin, why are you still here? There's a restaurant across the street having a sale, and that's the duck you're so fond of. Hurry up and leave, my mouth is watering."
"Drooling? No way? Cao Hanhui, you didn't see there were people in my shop, and you kept drooling, making me greedy."
"Can you please take my child with you? Please."
"No, absolutely not. We have a bottom line. As long as the mother is healthy and able to work, then you, as the parent, should take care of the child. You shouldn't burden me. After all, I can't even take care of my own child. I really don't want to take care of your child, okay? Is that okay with you? Is it okay with you giving birth to my child?"
"Ji Nianqin, you're going too far. How can you say that to the woman in front of you? After all, she's the child's mother. You should at least give her some face."
"Cao Hanhui, the truth is, you don't understand the situation at all, so it's better not to talk about it for now. It's like a guy out there who has to tell a girl how miserable his ex-girlfriend is. In reality, the girl has wanted to break up with the guy for a long time, and even if he tells her all sorts of rosy stories, it won't save the love they once had. In short, cherish your time, but there are always some people who dare to waste their precious time to come to the photo studio to take pictures. I think there must be something fishy going on, especially for the less affluent, where time is more valuable than money. And yet..."
