Fortunately, I’ve done well in business and earn around 50 million yen a year.
This content is machine-translated.
The other day, I saw a woman in her twenties selling apples by the roadside.
The apples looked ordinary, so partly to support her, I said,
“I’ll buy one for 500 yen.”
But she replied,
“I’m not selling it,”
and then muttered to herself,
“Poor people, stay away.”
Am I poor?

The fact that he went out of his way to mention his annual income of 50 million yen bothers me.
More importantly, it seems like he’s going about this the wrong way.
Normally, you’d start by asking, “What’s your usual allowance?” But he arbitrarily named a price of 500 yen and then said, “In that case, I’ll buy it.” That comes across as very condescending.
And the part about “doing it partly to support you” also gives off a vibe of, “I’m important, so be grateful that I’m willing to support you.”
If someone spoke to you that way, it would be understandable to simply say, “Sorry, we’re sold out.”
He should probably learn the usual etiquette and process first.
