Hua Xiaomai didn't get annoyed but simply grinned and winked at Old Lady Meng, effortlessly spewing out one flattering remark after another.
"I know you think I'm not clever, and I've always been aware of my own silliness, but no matter what, I've been married into the family for over a year now. Don't I deserve a little progress?

I'm with the two of you all day long, learning through osmosis, so isn't it normal for me to get a bit smarter?"
"Ah..."
Old Lady Meng was covered in goosebumps from all this flattery, shivering for a good while before she recovered, and with a face full of distaste, she said, "According to you, do you suspect those two men aren't really looking to buy our sauces?"
"They came so suddenly, and the deal was agreed upon so quickly, it's impossible not to be suspicious!"
