Me at two years old, a queen!

Chapter 186 You can't mistreat yourself!

Duoduo held the simple, khaki-colored shirt dress, looking it over from left to right. Finding no price tag, she mustered her courage and hesitantly asked, "How much...how much is this?"

She was truly discouraged by the repeated setbacks of not having enough money. With little cash on hand, she didn't even have the confidence to ask about prices.

"What did you say? How come you, a young girl, can't even speak as eloquently as this old woman?"

"Grandma! Dodo's asking you! How much does this dress cost?!"

Before Duoduo could speak, An'an, who had been looking around with nothing to do, immediately leaned close to the old woman and shouted, "Grandma! Did you hear me now?"

"I heard you! I heard you! You...you just sit here and don't say anything~"

As she spoke, the old woman patted her chest, still shaken, and pulled out a stool to settle the loud-voiced An'an before going to speak to Duo Duo:

"This dress is my best-selling item. It was brought back from thousands of kilometers away in a foreign country. It's an imported product, and I'm the only one on this street who owns it!"

Duo Duo pointed somewhat suspiciously to a similar red dress hanging on the next stall and asked uncertainly, "That one looks the same, Grandma?"

An'an: "Grandma? Are your eyesight not good either?"

"You little girl, stop talking!"

The old woman quickly grabbed a small handful of the fried beans she had brought for An'an, telling her to stop talking, as An'an was ruining her business. Seeing Xie Han's wary expression, she grabbed another handful for him.

"These are all homegrown beans, roasted and very fragrant. You should try some. And do you see any clothes here that you like? I'll give you a discount!"

After saying that, looking at Duoduo who was still reluctantly touching the red dress, he took a big gulp of water and began to promote it: "How about it? Isn't this dress pretty? Do you want to buy it?"

"But I don't know if my mom can wear it?"

"Oh my, look how good you are! Your mother is just as good-looking. Listen to your mother, this is the size. It'll fit your mother, no doubt about it!"

"This is the last one I have here~ Since you're a regular customer who brought it here, I'll sell it to you for the cost price of 70 yuan!"

Before Duoduo could offer her opinion, An'an, seeing that they had entered the familiar bargaining phase, quickly stuffed the beans in her hand into her pocket and subconsciously said, "Can you make it a little cheaper?"

Hearing that familiar voice haggling, the old woman's already hunched back trembled, and she straightened up even more: "Oh dear~, how can it be any cheaper? This is already the lowest price!"

"Can you make it a little cheaper?"

Fearing that with my old bones, I might develop a heart attack, which would be a huge loss, I skipped the haggling process with An'an and just said:

"Fixed price, 60 yuan! Buy it or not?"

An'an popped a few beans into her mouth, smacked her lips, and continued, "Can you make it a little cheaper?"

"You're going to kill this old woman! I really can't go any lower! Where did you learn to bargain so well, little one? I'll have to learn from you so I can bargain when I'm buying goods!"

Seeing that the old woman was quite angry, Duoduo guessed that she couldn't give her a discount any further, and she was really afraid that the old woman would hit them, so she quickly tugged at An'an's clothes.

The old woman who had been watching them saw this and assumed that she was still not satisfied, so she hardened her heart and said, "55 yuan, that's really the lowest I can go. If you don't like it, go look somewhere else!"

Upon hearing this, Duoduo quickly took out his money, fearing that the old woman would hit him. Before the old woman could help them pack their clothes, he grabbed An'an and ran outside.

The two ran for a short while, then hugged each other and smiled. An'an continued shopping, and when she saw a convenience store, she wanted to pull Duo Duo inside. An'an could tell at a glance that Duo Duo wanted to buy snacks.

Because the snacks they bought yesterday were mostly fed to the adults by their parents, they barely got to eat anything themselves.

"An'an~, we still need to buy clothes for ourselves!"

As expected of the daughter of a movie queen, Duoduo is meticulous about her fashion sense and has high standards. She even managed to drag An'an, the glutton, away, saying, "We're going to the bonfire party looking our best together!"

Duoduo, now experienced, started searching among the street stalls. Suddenly, the two of them walked into a stall selling children's clothes and toys.

An'an spotted the real magic wand at first glance, and immediately pushed past Duo Duo, who was looking at dresses, to get close to the bearded grandpa: "Grandpa? How much is this?"

"This one, 20 yuan!"

When Duoduo saw An'an about to take out her money, she suddenly didn't react immediately. Thinking that An'an had forgotten the bargaining process, she secretly took An'an's hand and whispered:

"An'an? You haven't said yet: Can you make it a little cheaper? Have you forgotten?"

"But my dad said that you shouldn't mistreat yourself! I like this magic wand, and it might not be cheap!"

Xie Han felt she absolutely had to cut out this part of the conversation to show Lu Junxing how An An was behaving this way, but then she thought about their mission...

She still avoided the camera and secretly shook the skirt next to her, letting An'an and the others notice that there were many pretty little skirts hanging there.

Duoduo: "This is so pretty, it's Elsa's dress!"

An'an: "Wow~, this is so pretty~"

An'an also spotted a green halter-neck tulle dress, noticed the sequins on it, and touched it repeatedly, even rubbing it against her face until it pricked her skin.

"Grandpa! Please wrap this up for them!"

An'an grabbed her dress, held it up, and shoved it in front of the old man with the beard. Then, remembering the magic wand next to her, she added, "And this too! I want one too!"

"Ahem~, little girl, you know you have to pay for things, right? Do you have any money?"

Seeing the suspicious look in the old man's eyes, An'an immediately took out the 70 yuan she had left over from her bag, which she had given to Duoduo but hadn't used:

"Look, they're rich kids, they don't run up debts!"

An'an stuffed the money directly into the bearded old man's hand, showing him off her wealth! She even added proudly:

"Hmph~, she's a smart little thing; even when she was a baby, she knew to ask for money when buying candy~"

After the incident where she had to work to pay Lu Junxing back the money she owed him at the mall, An'an felt that it wasn't a good idea to buy on credit; it was too much work. She decided to let others buy on credit instead! She had lost all interest in working now!

Duoduo also came over with the Elsa princess dress, and followed suit, taking out the rest of her money. Then, worried that she didn't have enough, she looked nervously at the bearded grandfather: "Grandpa? Is this enough?"

The bearded grandfather, fearing the two children had secretly taken money from home to buy the items, turned to Xie Han, who appeared to be their parent. Seeing Xie Han nod, he finally felt reassured and sold the items to them.

"You don't have enough money. This green dress costs 70 yuan, plus this toy costs 20 yuan, so you need to give me 90 yuan. Do you have 20 yuan left?"

"No, Grandpa, you don't need to give me change! I won't haggle anymore, I just want this dress and the magic wand! You can have all the money!"
