A hard life lived hard

Flower seller in Yuangsho. Tiny lady with a stoop probably the result of years in the rice paddies and now trying to eek out a living selling little bunches of flowers to tourists. Yesterday, we haggled over the price of some Chinese fans. We are talking about a difference of £4 between the original asking price and what we eventually paid. It was only afterwards that I felt guilty as this means nothing to me but could probably feed the seller and her family for a day. So, when this lady offered us flowers for 5 RMB, I refused but then offered her 10 RMB for a photo and here it is.

Little bugger then tried once again to sell me a bunch of flowers for 5 RMB!
