To my immediate reactions, I kept a close watch on the stall auntie, afraid that she might giving me the exchange soya bean. However, the stall auntie did not do so. In what is seen as the woman had tentatively to change for water chestnut drink.

The stall auntie had evidently built up frustration by the woman's inappropriate demand and actions.

Thereafter, the woman left with her water chestnut drink. It was than, the stall auntie examined the return soya bean drink and told me that she did drink it. This eventually portrays how that woman's attitude and disrespect to others.
