Shopkeeper Wang smiled and said, "Old sister, this thing is not worth much, and no one will buy it if it is left there. It will become sturdy and unwearable after a long time. Here, these are all, you can choose from them. Just give me a hundred coins!"
In fact, these straw sandals are not expensive. Usually, the average price for adults is about ten cents, and for children, it ranges from three or four cents to six or seven cents.

Oh my God! What have we done wrong to deserve such punishment from you!!!!"
