Shen Jiayin is not really stingy; it's her grandma, her beloved grandma, and of course she wants the elderly lady to feel comfortable and have a good time when she visits Beijing. Therefore, considering the negative news about gutter oil and other issues with outside food, she's concerned that the food outside isn't as clean as homemade, and she's worried that her grandmother might get sick from eating out, so she takes care of everything herself. Grandma Shen has been hardworking and simple since a young age and certainly wouldn't mind.
Xu Xiuqin and the others came here intending to enjoy a big meal at a Beijing restaurant. However, Shen Jiayin neither planned for them to stay at a star-rated hotel, nor does she seem to have intended to take them to a big stall restaurant in Beijing for a meal. Fortunately, they didn't just come here to see Shen Jiayin.
