At the second store, Xiao Zhuang's cat adoption process started off well. He expressed his interest in adopting and then the person in charge instructed him to complete a simple adoption procedure.
This ”simple” procedure shocked Xiao Zhuang, who hadn't experienced much of the outside world.
Xiao Zhuang mockingly said, ”Do you guys know the conditions required for an adoption?”
He slowly held up his fingers and counted. ”One, you need a copy of your ID and a submitted bank account statement. Then, you have to give them another picture of you holding up your ID. Bloody hell, when I saw that requirement, I felt like was in a police station!”
”Two, you have to agree to house visits, and video calls from QQ or Wechat are not optional. Random surprise visits have to be accepted unconditionally. When I read this condition, I felt like I was a criminal on bail!” Xiao Zhuang was so agitated his spit flew everywhere as he spoke.
He looked at Ting Ting. ”For her, I could force myself to accept the first condition but the second one? What if I wasn't home when they made a surprise visit? To let Ting Ting handle them alone... Honestly, I'd be worried. These days, any kind of person can exist. What if we accidentally let someone dangerous into our house?”
”It's not like that, you can't think of them that way!” The unfamiliar young lady emphasized, ”It's only because people don't know how to cherish an adopted pet since it comes at no cost. There have been cases where pets have been abused after they were adopted and this prompted such strict rules and regulations on adoptions!”
”I completely support the argument that people don't know how to cherish anything that comes without a cost.” Zhang Zian nodded his head in agreement.
The unfamiliar young lady fiercely glared at him.
”Isn't the condition too much?” A plump young lady nearby couldn't help but to speak up. ”A tough girl like me wouldn't be afraid of house visits, but to take a picture with my ID? I'm sorry, I really can't accept that. What if they use that picture of mine to get a loan? Isn't there a number of online banks now where you can easily get tens of thousands dollars worth of loans approved with just a picture of you and your ID? I'm actually really interested in adopting a cat too, but if this is the case then I think I'm fine. I'd rather just buy one with my own money,”
”You're just supporting the growth of the industry for black-hearted pet dealers! And just because all of you are afraid of the troubles, afraid of this and afraid of that! It's leading to a number of pets being abandoned, abused, and left with no home to return to!” The young lady confronted everyone she saw. If anyone even slightly questioned adoption practices, she didn't hesitate to confront them.
The plump young lady was as she described herself to be. She was truly a tough girl. She immediately snapped back, ”Don't try to use morals against me, I'm not a saint and I don't want to be one. I'm only doing whatever I can to give away love and kindness. But if by doing so brings me unwanted troubles, then it can stay far away from me!”
”Huh, the title hypocritical and fake pet lover is just for people like you!” The unfamiliar young lady sarcastically replied.
”Holier-than-thou adoption b*tch!” The plump young lady said with no restraint.
The unfamiliar young lady's face was flushed red with anger. ”Who are you calling a adoption b*tch?” Her lips moved a few times, but she was still unable to let out the last words.
”I didn't mention exactly who, anyone who thinks it's them can gladly accept the title.” The plump young lady lowered her head, and finished off the last mouthful of rice in her bowl before she raised her voice and shouted, ”Lady, more rice!”
