Madam Xia was not like Wang Xiuzhen. Seeing the young boss's hesitation, she deliberately patted the back of her hand.

“They’re quite smooth,” she said. “The hands of working people are truly valuable when they have a few calluses!”

"Sister, you really know how to compliment people!" The young boss said, a little embarrassed.

"Sister Tao, what kind of bells do you want us to make?" Yang Yajing asked.

"Let's make it a trendy one for my little pets too!" Mrs. Xia said, putting bells into a small paper bag. "Should we braid the lion cub's hair?"

Upon hearing "braiding," Wang Xiuzhen thought it referred to a person and exclaimed, "How ugly! Madam Xia, you're not really going to use these braids, are you? I dare not use them; it would be too ugly to go out like that!"

"Is it ugly?" Madam Xia was already impatient with Wang Xiuzhen's comments. She said that wearing it would make her look cheap and be laughed at, and that it was ugly.

What is Tao Jiaxuan's worth? Even if she wore cheap clothes to a banquet, no one would dare to say anything about her, or that it would lower her status.

She deliberately held up a bow on Wang Xiuzhen's head and said, "It does look pretty ugly!"

Wang Xiuzhen was about to agree when Madam Xia muttered, "But your ugliness doesn't seem to have anything to do with this bow. Your unique temperament, which comes from within, is truly irresistible!"

Wang Xiuzhen wanted to curse but couldn't bring herself to do it, and wanted to flatter but couldn't bring herself to do it; she was feeling very frustrated.

The small business owner and Yang Yajing were secretly pleased to hear this "sincere" comment!

"Girl, I'll take both of these colorful pom-pom bows too," Mrs. Xia said directly to the shopkeeper. "My little lion would look adorable with these!"

"A little lion? Is it a little girl?" the shopkeeper asked while packing the bag.

“It’s Sister Tao’s Shih Tzu, and it’s female.” Yang Yajing said, pointing to Wang Xiuzhen as she said “female.”

"Yang Yajing! Who are you calling female? You're comparing me to a dog!" Wang Xiuzhen couldn't scold Madam Xia, but she wouldn't hold back when she cursed Yang Yajing. "You can't expect anything good to come out of a dog's mouth!"

"A poodle! Of course it's female, what, a girl?" Yang Yajing said ambiguously. "Besides, dogs don't produce ivory, they only have dog teeth! Auntie, you need to learn common sense!"

"You!" Wang Xiuzhen pointed at Yang Yajing, "Stop talking nonsense! I'm talking to you! Don't think you can just stick your fangs out and bite people just because you have Madam Xia backing you up!"

"Huh? I can't spit out dog teeth either. No ivory either, the species isn't right! I just said we should have common sense." Yang Yajing replied nonchalantly. "Could it be... Auntie has dog teeth in her mouth? Let's see them! How interesting!"

"Yang Yang!" Jiang Xuanxuan tugged at her mother's sleeve. "Yang Yang's words are so rude! Has Xuanxuan's mother offended Yang Yang? Why is he targeting Xuanxuan's mother like this?"

"Miss, did you understand?" Yang Yajing asked the shop owner on purpose, but actually meant for Mrs. Xia.

"Girl, didn't you understand?" Madam Xia added decisively, "What the child means is that her mother can say that all creatures of the same species are dogs, but others can't be the same species as her because she doesn't acknowledge that we are the same species, understand?"

The shopkeeper was confused; was it a tongue twister? After thinking for a moment, he asked, "So, that auntie thinks we humans are dogs, but she doesn't acknowledge that she's one of us because she's not a dog, so she can't be considered a human either? Is that what you mean?"

"You're not human! What kind of dog are you? You're a worthless slut!" Wang Xiuzhen cursed.

At this point, Madam Xia made a sarcastic remark: "So, we humans are dogs, and you're not a dog, so you can't be considered a human either... Then... what exactly are you?"

"Pfft!" Yang Yajing and the young boss were both amused by Madam Xia's bewildered expression full of curiosity!

So this Madam Xia also has a pair of sharp little teeth! Her feigned ignorance is quite convincing! And her "not ashamed to ask questions" is truly something else...

"Why does Yang Yang like to argue so much?" Jiang Xuanxuan changed her target when she saw Yang Yajing smiling.

"Arguing for the sake of arguing? I can't do it all by myself." Yang Yajing put on a fake smile.

"You little slut, how can your mouth smell so foul?" Wang Xiuzhen pointed at Yang Yajing with her crystal-encrusted fingernails.

"Hey! Ya Jing! Come here! Don't talk nonsense in front of them!" Madam Xia pulled Yang Ya Jing back.

Wang Xiuzhen was feeling smug when she heard this! She thought to herself, "See? Madam Xia disliked me, didn't she?"

"That's right! She has no manners!" Wang Xiuzhen rolled her eyes at Yang Yajing.

But Madam Xia's next words made her swallow another bitter pill: "Look at you, look at how they've made you smell bad! You can't hide the stench even if you don't want to!"

Okay! Yang Yajing thought to herself, "Sister Tao is awesome!"

"Ya Jing! I want to eat stinky tofu!" Madam Xia suddenly pouted.

"Sister Tao, Boss Xia said to eat less street food!" Yang Yajing pouted.

"I don't care! You're not allowed to tell on me!" After saying that, Madam Xia looked at Wang Xiuzhen and said, "Sister, want to come together? Stinky tofu smells so good! It can also block the stench, so people won't think it's coming from the inside out."

"Hehe...hehe..." Wang Xiuzhen's face twitched, her smile was forced and insincere.

Jiang Xuanxuan felt that if things continued like this, Madam Xia would probably be influenced by Yang Yajing and start to have a problem with them.

Before things get out of control, let's take her unruly, taciturn mother and make our way out!

It seems that to please Madam Xia, we'll have to find an elegant setting next time when Yang Yajing isn't around!

Since there was plenty of time, Jiang Xuanxuan gave Wang Xiuzhen a way out: "Mom, Xuanxuan's feet hurt, the road is all bumpy..."

"Oh! Xuanxuan, does your foot hurt? This road is so uneven! We stepped on it a couple of times, and it dared to hurt my darling's foot!" Wang Xiuzhen said casually.
