On the night of her wedding, the husband left for a mission as a soldier. For three years, Su Yueya dutifully took care of her mother-in-law. Just as she finally waited for her husband to be promot...
"I've got it!" Lu Si'an's eyes suddenly lit up. She waved to Milk and called out, "Milk, come and help!"
If kittens don't understand what they're saying and don't believe them, will they believe in milk?
After all, they're just kittens!
Anyway, it's always good to give it a try.
“Milk, go and comfort it. It’s scared. Tell it that we are all good people, that we won’t bully it, and that we will always protect it,” Lu Si’an said.
Then, you can see the milk approaching Xiaomi.
Perhaps it's because they are all kittens, of the same kind, that Xiaomi didn't seem so averse to the milk.
No one knows what happened, but the two kittens huddled together, especially Milk, which meowed for a long time. When Su Yueya reached out to Xiaomi again, Xiaomi didn't react anymore, as if it accepted Su Yueya's approach.
"Mom is amazing! Mom got to hold the kitten!" Lu Si'an exclaimed excitedly, then quickly covered her mouth, a little embarrassed, worried that she might scare the kitten with her loud voice.
"It's alright, An'an, come on, let's go treat the kitten's wounds," Su Yueya said.
When Su Yueya brought Xiaomi into the space, she noticed that the kitten had injuries!
If time hadn't been an obstacle, she really would have wanted to take a good look at how the wound got there.
"Mom, I'll go get the first-aid kit with the milk!" Lu Siyuan said.
We always keep a first-aid kit at home, since we have three doctors.
Lu Si'an had a sudden idea. Since they all had a first-aid kit, shouldn't they also prepare one for Milk?
This led to the development of first-aid kits specifically for milk.
Unexpectedly, the first time it came in handy was because of Xiaomi.
"Okay," Su Yueya replied.
When Su Yueya carefully examined Xiaomi, she found it unbelievable, because the wounds on Xiaomi's body were clearly caused by someone.
Given Xiaomi's timid nature, Su Yueya didn't believe it at all that it had injured itself by jumping around everywhere.
Moreover, the wound showed signs of treatment, albeit crudely and clumsily. This also indicated that an adult in the Liu family knew about Xiaomi's injury, because it would have been impossible for Liu Shengrui to treat the kitten's wound.
Su Yueya also discovered that even though Xiaomi seemed to accept her touch and approach, it would tremble uncontrollably every time her hand touched its body, as if it were a conditioned reflex.
"Little kitty, can I pet you?" Lu Si'an stared at the kitten longingly. Seeing that it didn't react, she immediately said, "You didn't refuse me, so I'll take that as a yes. Don't worry, I'll be gentle and won't hurt you."
When Lu Si'an carefully placed her hand on it—
Su Yueya saw it; Xiaomi was trembling again.
Such a reaction makes it easy to imagine how Xiao Mi was abused by Liu Shengrui in the Liu family, which led to its current state.
"Brother, I can pet the kitten!" Lu Si'an was pleasantly surprised.
Perhaps it was because Lu Si'an was really gentle that when Lu Siyuan tried to pet Xiaomi, it didn't resist like a frightened bird, but it couldn't help but tremble unconsciously.
"Mom, it's shaking." Lu Siyuan was extremely surprised.
Normally, when he strokes Milk, Milk looks very happy. When Milk is happy, it will even lie down and expose its belly so that Lu Siyuan can stroke it.
But the kitten is trembling!
"It has wounds, so please don't touch it for now," Su Yueya said. Then she carefully treated Xiaomi's wounds again, applied better medicine, and bandaged them.
Upon hearing that the kitten was injured, the two little ones immediately withdrew their hands, because their mother had told them that hands are dirty and carry a lot of germs, and it would be terrible if the kitten's injury worsened.
"Xiao Yuan, An An, go and get some food for the kitten," Su Yueya said.
They were already able to take good care of Milk, so Su Yueya felt very reassured letting them prepare food and water for the kittens.
"good."
Su Yueya felt that the topical medication and bandages were not enough, so she added crushed anti-inflammatory medicine to the kitten's food, hoping that it would recover faster because it looked too weak.
Although Xiao Mi had been abused by Liu Shengrui for a long time, it had a different experience when it spent time with Su Yueya's family, and gradually let down its guard.
Especially after the food and the spiritual spring water were brought over, the kitten buried its head in them.
“Mom, it likes the food we prepare for it,” Lu Si’an said happily, squatting down to watch the kitten eat. “Little kitten, you should eat more like milk, and then grow bigger.”
"Little kitty, eat slowly. We have plenty of food at home, you won't go hungry," Lu Siyuan said.
Su Yueya was very surprised.
She never expected that such a tiny kitten would eat so—fervently? It looked like it had been starving for a very, very long time.
wrong!
Could it be that when they were at the Liu family's house, they went so far as to not even feed the kitten properly?
Su Yueya became increasingly confused as she looked at the situation. She had initially thought that only Liu Shengrui might be going too far, but now it seemed that the Liu family's indifference was also a form of dereliction of duty.
"Mommy, the kitten looks so pitiful," Lu Si'an pouted. Even she could tell that the kitten looked like it had been starving for a long time.
How could anyone be so cruel as to not feed the kitten properly?
No wonder, they're clearly from the same litter as Milk, but their sizes are so different now, it must be because they're not getting enough to eat.
Because her grandparents always told her and her brother that if children don't eat properly, they won't grow tall.
“It’s okay, it’s already in our home now. We’ll make sure it’s well-fed and doesn’t suffer,” Su Yueya said. She now felt that she had done the right thing.
“Yes, I will protect it!” Lu Si’an said.
“Me too,” Lu Siyuan said.
After a hearty meal and drinks, Xiaomi was finally satisfied and stopped.
Milk stayed by Xiaomi's side the whole time. When Xiaomi ate, Milk never fought or snatched food; it just lay quietly beside her.
Now that Xiaomi has finished eating, the two kittens huddled together and started meowing incessantly, as if they were having a chat.
Lu Siyuan and Lu Si'an were completely captivated by the two adorable kittens. They didn't want to play with their toys anymore, so they squatted down beside them and watched them meow curiously, even though they couldn't understand a word they heard.
"Brother, what do you think Milk is saying to the kitten?" Lu Si'an asked curiously. She couldn't figure it out herself, so she asked her brother.
