The Ace Bigshot Becomes A Farmgirl

Chapter 1232: Chapter 1232: Little Song Le Speaks

The old lady was also taken aback, “Maneki?”

“Meow…” Maneki gracefully walked in.

The Madam of County Magistrate, eyes slightly envious, asked the old lady, “Is this the cat your family keeps?”

The old lady felt a little less embarrassed when she mentioned the cat and nodded immediately, “Yes, this is what Yu brought back before. Later, we left the county town for a while, so the cat was kept by my daughter’s family, but now it spends most of the time at our house.”

The Madam of County Magistrate stared at Maneki, watching it walk in front of her and then… lightly leaped onto the table beside her.

The old lady frowned, “Maneki, come down.”

However, Maneki, being pampered by everyone in the Lu family, already considered itself a cat of high status. Not only did it not come down, but it also walked a couple of steps on the table with its chin up.

The old lady, “…” Look at you, thinking you’re all that.

However, the Madam of County Magistrate’s eyes lit up, and she turned her head, her eyes shining as she asked the old lady, “Can I hold it?”

The Madam of County Magistrate loves cats, but since her mother doesn’t like them, she wasn’t allowed to keep any.

After marrying into the Xiang Family, as a new daughter-in-law, she also couldn’t make such requests. Now seeing the plump, neat, and owned Maneki, she couldn’t resist anymore.

The old lady hesitated, “…I guess so.” After all, she was Madam of County Magistrate, how could she refuse?

Without a second thought, the Madam of County Magistrate picked up Maneki, but the next moment, Maneki bristled entirely and began to struggle vigorously.

The Madam of County Magistrate was startled, while Nanny Gu behind her quickly said, “That’s not how you hold it, Miss, you need to grab it by the scruff of its neck.”

The Madam of County Magistrate, half-doubted, really switched angles and grabbed the loose skin on the cat’s neck.

Unexpectedly, Maneki struggled even harder, its cries somewhat shrill, its four paws swinging wildly.

Maneki’s loud cries made Shu Yu and the others, who were walking quickly towards the living room, pause in surprise, and they hurried their pace.

As they reached the door, they saw Maneki struggling in the Madam of County Magistrate’s grip.

Everyone in the living room, including the old lady, was taken aback, and Nanny Gu’s face turned pale, fearing Maneki’s claws might scratch the Madam of County Magistrate’s arm.

She hurriedly called out, “Miss, let go quickly.”

The Madam of County Magistrate instinctively released her grip, and with a ‘thud,’ Maneki fell to the ground.

“Meow meow!!” Little Song Le anxiously cried out at the sight.

Shu Yu abruptly glanced down at him. Did he just speak? He did, right?

However, before Shu Yu could confirm, Little Song Le and Quanquan had already stumbled in, rushing towards Maneki.

The Madam of County Magistrate was sitting on a chair, not very high, so even if Maneki fell, it wouldn’t be harmed.

However, this is something the adults understood, but children wouldn’t know that.

Quanquan and Little Song Le saw Maneki fall and thought something terrible had happened, feeling heartbroken.

The two kids burst into tears simultaneously with a loud ‘wah.’

Not only was Quanquan’s voice loud, but even Little Song Le sobbed and whimpered.

This time, Shu Yu was sure she didn’t mishear; Little Song Le really spoke.

She couldn’t help but look at the child with delight. It’s not easy; more than a month, finally hearing him make a sound.

Although the two kids were grieving as if Maneki had already passed away, the scene was somewhat comical.

Moreover, they even tried to pick Maneki up.

But Maneki was so plump that even Little Song Le, let alone the smaller Quanquan, could only lift its upper half while the lower half still lay limp on the ground.
