Lost ability to speak

Nan Yan on the other hand rolled his eyes and then said, " Did you think that my sister and I were lying, Daddy? We were speaking the truth alright. Buying vegetables and meat in this mall is a battle and if we are not careful and quick then we might even lose what we have picked so.. you better hurry before the stock runs out." 

" Ah, are you saying that the stock will run out so soon?"

" Of course! Look at the crowd. It would be a surprise if we could get some high-quality pork belly this time around. Ah, I really wanted to buy a catty! And those red cherry tomatoes and cucumbers. We need those too." 

" I need to buy some eggplants, my grandfather ate it at his friend's house and was clamouring about it. If I do not bring those eggplants with me then my grandpa will give me an earful of lecture."
