Chapter 14 is all about eating cats.

"Grandpa Village Chief is lying. She was the one who wanted to eat my Lingling."

Ning Bao glanced at Lingling in Mu Chengye's arms as she spoke.

With great tact, Mu Chengye stood in front of the crowd, holding Lingling, and pointed to the white cat in his arms, looking at everyone.

"This kitten is named Lingling. It was raised by my sister. It grew up with my sister since it was a kitten and we are like family."

"Mmm." Ning Bao nodded repeatedly.

"Lingling is Ningbao's family. She's so tiny, but this older brother..."

Ningbao pointed her chubby little finger at Mu Chengrong.

"He actually wanted to eat my Lingling! Grandpa Village Chief, Lingling is my family member, how could he eat her?"

Although my Lingling is a cat, it's not an ordinary cat. It's my Ningbao's cat, and Ningbao will protect it with his life. "As long as the cat lives, so does the person; if the cat dies, so does the person."

Village Chief Lin: "…………"

Ning Bao forced out two tears, staring at Mu Chengrong with a pleading expression.

"Brother, please don't eat my Lingling, please don't eat my family, okay?"

My Lingling is so tiny, she's practically skin and fur, there's hardly any flesh on her bones, really, you won't believe me, just look!

The adorable Ningbao seemed to be pleading, but her expression was both cute and fierce. She pouted and glared angrily at Mu Chengrong.

Spoiled and arrogant, Mu Chengrong still doesn't think he's done anything wrong; on the contrary, he feels extremely wronged.

Ning Bao had barely finished her accusation when he loudly retorted.

"Are you a little silly, you brat?"

How could a lousy cat become a family member?

My grandma said that since it's a famine year, we can eat anything that can fill our stomachs. I'm the most important person in our family, so what's wrong with me eating you, you wretched cat?

"Give me the cat right now, I want to eat meat today."

"Grandma...Grandma, I want to eat meat...I want to eat meat..."

Seeing Mu Chengrong cry, Zhao Juhua felt heartbroken and quickly comforted him in her arms.

Even after being struck by lightning, Mu Chengrong is still so obsessed with eating cats. Ning Bao is speechless. She originally wanted to take the pitiful route, but in the end she thought better of it. She just wanted to beat people up and didn't want to cry and make people feel sorry for her.

...

Lightning had just struck this spot from the sky, and most of the villagers in the camp rushed over.

Hearing Ning Bao's words, everyone felt indignant.

“Zhao, you’ve spoiled your son Chengrong rotten.”

"That's right, that cat belongs to that young girl. You can't just give it to him just because your grandson wants to eat it."

Does that mean if I take a fancy to a rich man's gold and jewels, he'll just hand them to me without hesitation?

"Exactly, that's too domineering. Besides, I've seen people eat chickens and ducks, but I've never seen anyone eat a cat. And look at that kitten, it's only the size of a palm. Once you skin it, all that's left is bone. How can you bring yourself to eat it!"

...

Before Zhao Juhua could even soothe her eldest grandson, she heard the villagers criticizing her. Her anger flared immediately, and she glared at them.

"My grandson wants to eat cats, so he can eat them. It's none of your business what he did."

After Zhao Juhua finished speaking, she glared at everyone, then walked up to Mu Chengye and reached out to grab Lingling from Mu Chengye's arms.

Standing behind Mu Chengye, Mu Cheng'an and Shen Sijian had been watching Zhao Juhua as she approached. Upon noticing her movements, the two acted in perfect unison: Shen Sijian pulled Mu Chengye aside, while Mu Cheng'an took the opportunity to shield Zhao Juhua.

"Grandma, what are you trying to do? Are you trying to rob me?"

So what if it's outright robbery?

You want to hit me?

Let me tell you, I am your great-grandmother, your father's aunt, and your grandfather's sister-in-law. Have you ever heard of the saying "an elder sister-in-law is like a mother"?

Even your grandfather wouldn't dare to do anything to me?

You little brat, you think you're so tough? Believe me, if you piss me off, I'll slap you across the face!

"Who are you going to hit? Sister-in-law, your ability to be unreasonable is getting better and better?"

Li Guizhi and Shen Yuzhen, who had been standing at the back of the crowd and hadn't come forward, couldn't stand it any longer. Zhao Juhua's unreasonable and disruptive behavior was well-known in Shanglin Village.

Mu Chunping and his children certainly couldn't handle her.

Li Guizhi pushed her eldest grandson aside and stood where Mu Cheng'an had just stood, staring directly at Zhao Juhua.

"Sister-in-law, I've said it before, I don't care how you spoil your child, but don't expect us to spoil him with you!"

Why should your Chengrong get to eat meat, but my Ningbao's beloved cat gets to be eaten?

If you really love your grandson so much, go cut off some of your own flesh to feed him. Don't even think about touching our cat! You can't even touch a single hair of our cat!

"Hehe, sister-in-law, what are you saying? We're family, and my eldest grandson is also your eldest grandson..."

Li Guizhi waved her hand, "No! Look! My eldest grandson is right here!"

"Sister-in-law, even if my Chengrong isn't your eldest grandson, he's still your husband's grand-nephew, right?"

People often say that you can't write two "Mu" characters in one stroke, but our two families are blood relatives, and the blood is thicker than water.

Chengrong is still young and has gotten thin from hunger lately. What's wrong with him craving cat meat? Isn't that normal?
