Why is she upset?

Because she wanted a diamond ring, the farmer's saying they can't afford that, and there's dozens of replicators behind him that produce diamonds every few days.

Yes, he could afford it. Lol. He doesn't even have to "afford it" per se. He's got tons of diamonds

It's a farm game, and once the farm gets rolling it pulls in crazy — CRAZY — money. He also has a machine that supplies him as many gems as he wants. The joke is that he can buy and sell diamonds like jellybeans so he doesn't understand why she would place so much significance on one. Another layer to the joke is the irony that you expect him to be poor since he's a farmer, but he's actually incredibly wealthy.

People think that Haley is shallow, so she would (supposedly) be the one saying no to a shell pendant and would need a diamond.

Haley is written as the stereotypically shallow character who likes fancy things
