"Wasting time." Qin Yin was not annoyed, she smiled at the pair of parents and said, "Have you heard the saying, time equals money? Your son wasted so much of our time, which equates to wasting a lot of our money. I need to calculate exactly how much that is, and you'll compensate us."
"Ha, you really have a way with twisted logic. How much time could it waste? Besides, housewives like you spend loads of time bargaining at the Vegetable Market for a dime or two like my nanny. Who do you think you are, the president? Time equals money, right? Your time equals money. Let me calculate. Based on the time you spent building blocks, it was at most twenty minutes. In the Vegetable Market, you would have bargained for two cents. Here, take two cents."
The mother reached into her handbag and handed Qin Yin a dollar, "Here, I'll give you an extra eight cents out of pity for you, no need for change."
As the mother spoke, her eyes were filled with disdain.
