Aunt Li was kind enough to say something, but she didn't expect such an unexpected situation. She couldn't help but feel embarrassed and felt sorry for Zhang Zian.
Of course, Zhang Zian wouldn't blame her. He smiled and said, "Go do what you need to do. I'm fine here."
Aunt Li smiled and returned to the kitchen.
Zhang Zian knew that the slogan of "adopting instead of buying" was popular in society recently, and he also agreed with it. However, adoption was not omnipotent. If you really liked certain breeds of cats, it was basically impossible to get them through adoption. For example, Vivi, who came with Snowy last time, was allergic to cats. If she wanted to raise a cat, she could only raise a Siberian Forest cat. Where could she get one? If it was possible to adopt, then everyone would just do it.
The customers who entered the pet shop were basically there to buy cats and dogs. They wouldn't specifically mention "adoption instead of buying." It was the first time that someone had made a scene in front of him.
After thinking about it, how should he explain?
In the end, he decided not to explain. There was nothing to explain. They had just met by chance, and it was just a coincidence that they were sharing a table for dinner. There was no need to waste his breath to persuade a person who already had a prejudice.
So, he didn't say anything, picked up his spoon and continued eating.
However, when the girl saw him like this, she thought that he was guilty. She talked to him endlessly, repeatedly stating the benefits of adoption, and criticized him for being the key link in the pet scam industry.
Her voice became louder and louder, and the other customers around them vaguely heard it. They all looked at their table curiously, trying to guess the relationship between them.
Zhang Zian felt that if he kept silent, the girl would become even more aggressive, and it would disturb the normal eating of others. So, he put down his spoon and said helplessly, "You are right. I support adoption instead of buying, and I support it wholeheartedly."
He thought that if he admitted defeat, the girl would forgive him, but he didn't expect that the girl would push it further. She asked further, "You support adoption instead of buying? Then why do you still open a pet shop? "
Zhang Zian didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "I support the national policy, but it doesn't necessarily mean that I have to be a civil servant! Besides, adoption instead of buying is not a national policy … "
"Oh, so your support is just verbal support?" The girl's face became colder.
Zhang Zian didn't want to argue, so he said perfunctorily, "More or less. How do you want me to support you?"
"It's very simple. From today on, no cats and dogs will be brought into your shop. Open the existing cats and dogs to the public for free adoption," she said with certainty.
Zhang Zian nodded. "And then?"
She was taken aback. "What do you mean?"
"Then how am I going to make a living? Will you support me? "Zhang Zian asked seriously.
Although there weren't many male guests around, they all burst into laughter when they heard this.
Her expression changed. "What does that have to do with me?"
"How is it none of your business? I did what you said. You have to be responsible for my future life … "Zhang Zian said helplessly." What else can I do? Ask the state for help? Wouldn't that be causing trouble for the country and society? Don't think that I'm too fat. I'm actually a big eater. One meal is equivalent to a grain of rice … If the modernization of the country is delayed because of a rice worm like me, can you bear the responsibility? "
A boy at the table next to her complained in a low voice, "One meal is equivalent to a grain of rice … Are you an animal?"
This precise complaint attracted a burst of laughter from the surrounding diners. Even a lot of girls couldn't help but laugh.
Zhang Zian didn't feel offended. Instead, he looked at the boy with praise.
At this time, the girl in front of him finally understood that Zhang Zian was making fun of her. She was so angry that her face turned blue.
Zhang Zian was afraid that she would really be angry, so he coughed and said, "Actually, I understand the reasoning, but I am selling pets after all. You should talk to the people who are planning to have pets instead of buying them. It is useless to talk to me. As I said, I support adoption instead of buying. I completely agree with your opinion, so you don't have to convince me anymore. "
She gritted her teeth in hatred. "It's because there are too many people like you that the quality of the people in China can't be improved! You! And you! " She pointed at the boy who had just complained and the other boy who laughed the loudest. "You are all accomplices!"
What the f * ck!
The two boys who were innocently affected were also dumbfounded. It was just a joke. Why did they have to start an AOE attack just like that? Shouldn't the smart thing to do at this time be to form alliances to gain sympathy and support?
"Well … Did you misunderstand something? In fact, there are a lot of people abroad who buy pets instead of adopting them! " Zhang Zian tried to persuade her. "Which country do you think has the highest quality? Choose 100 people from that country and let them choose between Ragdolls and cats for free. I think most people will still choose Ragdolls. In daily life, if you want Ragdolls, you have to spend money to buy them. I don't think you can adopt Ragdolls for free. Even if you can, it's very rare."
This misunderstanding was like saying that foreigners didn't buy fake goods or use pirated CDs. In fact, foreigners who came to China went to Xiushui Street to buy fake CDs. To put it bluntly, it was a matter of money and face.
The current situation was that Zhang Zian wanted to finish his meal, then sit there and wait for Old Time Tea and Famous to come back. He wanted the people around him to be his alibi. Otherwise, he would have left long ago. He was too lazy to talk nonsense with her. However, the girl in front of him didn't seem to want to let him go so easily. She wanted him to close the pet shop to vent her anger.
Two girls who came together finished their meal and walked out of the shop after paying the bill. An empty table was vacated, and Aunt Li quickly cleaned up the leftovers on the table.
Before the door was completely closed, it was blocked by a pair of hands. Then the door was pulled open again, and a young man and woman who looked like a couple walked in.
The boy held the door for his girlfriend attentively and closed the door after she came in. He looked around the shop and muttered, "Finally, it's my turn. It's so cold … Is this the shop you were talking about?"
"Yes, yes, this is it." The girlfriend took off her scarf excitedly and sat at the empty table. She patted the table and said, "Sit down. Be careful not to be taken by others."
The diners around smiled. These two were probably college students who occupied seats in the library all day.
Her boyfriend sat down shyly. It seemed that he wasn't used to showing off his love in public.
"Which cat do you like?" he asked.
"That one, that one!" She pointed to the Calico cat in the shop and said, "I heard that cats in the shop can be adopted. I want to adopt it!"
