In the dim little kitchen, Hua Yu stood in front of the water tank, his head lowered expressionlessly. In the flickering light, it was impossible to see the expression on his face.

In the half-filled water tank, the corpses of several large rats floated on the surface, their bellies bulging outwards, as if they had been drowned...

This mouse is exactly the same as the mouse hiding in the chicken coop...

I spent the whole day yesterday cooking...

Flowers, time!

Hua Yu stood there, staring at the dead rats floating on the water with gloomy eyes, his hands hanging at his sides, clenched into fists.

…

"Meow……"

The fluffy black cat quietly pushed open the small wooden door with its head and squeezed out little by little from the gap.

In the yard, Hua Xiao and Hua Li, who were squatting by the well washing dead mice, heard the cat's cry, raised their buttocks, and turned their heads to look over curiously.

"Meow..." The black cat walked with cat steps, jumped quietly onto the small stool, coiled its furry tail, and sat down.

A pair of blue cat eyes looked at the unfamiliar environment curiously, licked its paws, and had no intention of leaving.

"Wow! It's a cat!" Hua Li widened his eyes, his pupils lit up, and his eyebrows were filled with smiles. He stood up suddenly, wiped his hands, and wanted to walk over.

"Meow...?" The black cat tilted its head and looked curiously at Hua Li who suddenly stood up.

Hua Li grinned, his face slightly red, as if he was very excited, "Hua Xiao, look! There's a cat!"

Hua Xiao frowned, put the wet dead mouse in the basin, put his hands on his hips, and asked seriously, "Where did the cat come from?"

Hua Li walked towards the black cat eagerly, imitating the cat, meowing and teasing the black cat, obviously liking it very much.

Hua Xiao thought for a moment, then said to Hua Li seriously, "Hua Li, our family can't afford a cat."

Grandma won't agree either.

Hua Li's eyes dimmed, and her excitement faded a lot. She didn't know what she was thinking about, but a trace of sadness flashed across her face...

When Hua Shi came back from the backyard, she saw from afar the black cat sitting on her low stool, combing its hair slowly.

Compared to last night when it was listless and droopy, the black cat was obviously much more energetic.

As if sensing the sound of footsteps, the black cat turned its round head and looked over. Its dark blue eyes seemed to brighten up, and it meowed at Hua Shi.

Hua Shi walked over and Hua Li stopped less than half a meter away from the black cat, looking at Hua Shi with a wary look.

Hua Shi ignored him, squatted in front of the black cat, and reached out to touch the little guy's furry head.

The black cat also cooperated and rubbed her hand affectionately, "Meow... Meow."

Hua Li stared at Hua Shi and the black cat, his face full of disbelief, "You...you!"

Hua Shi was a little confused, but after hearing what the little boy said, he still asked, "We? What's wrong with us?"

"How is it possible for you! Xiao Hei is so well behaved! How could he be close to you!" Hua Li said gritting his teeth.

How could a person with a vicious heart possibly be loved by a kitten!

"Xiao Hei?" Hua Shi looked at the black cat with black hair all over its body, without a single stray hair. It was indeed very appropriate to call it Xiao Hei.

"Meow?" The black cat seemed not to understand Hua Shi's words. Seeing Hua Shi looking at it, it rubbed the back of Hua Shi's hand again.

Looking cute and clingy...

Hua Li's eyes were red with jealousy, and she gritted her teeth, not knowing what to say.

This black cat seems to be very close to this vicious woman, damn it! Why?

Hua Shi patted the clingy Xiao Hei and said in a low voice, "Okay, stop acting like a spoiled child. It's useless. I won't keep you here. Go away."

She had no plans to keep a cat. She couldn't even get enough food to eat now, so it was impossible and inappropriate for her to keep a pet.

Even if she wanted to raise him, Mrs. Li wouldn't agree...

This black cat must have run down from the mountains. It's better to go back to the mountains...

Hua Shi pointed at the open door and pushed the black cat's butt, with the intention of driving it away being obvious.

“Meow… meow?”

The black cat was pushed off the small stool and called out twice at Hua Shi in confusion.

"Okay, let's go." Hua Shi stood up straight, put his hands behind his back, shook his head, and had a tough attitude.

"Meow……"

The black cat called out to her again, but Hua Shi ignored it.

The black cat stared at Hua Shi with its big blue eyes, its furry ears twitching, its long, fluffy tail drooping and dragging on the ground, looking at her helplessly...

"…Meow……"

Hua Shi suddenly felt his trouser leg scratched by a pink pad of flesh, it was itchy, he looked down,

The little fellow's eyes were wide open, and he was meowing and scratching at her, his fluffy tail brushing her ankles...

Hua Shi kept a straight face and shook his head, "No."

“Meow…”

When he saw the flowers, he didn't react. The clever little guy knew that he was not pleasing. He walked with cat steps, called out twice, and then jumped out of the low wall. He disappeared in a short while.

The Hua family courtyard returned to peace.

Hua Li had long since learned that the black cat had approached Hua Shi, and she had withdrawn in annoyance and confusion. She watched the entire process as Hua Shi chased the black cat away, her mouth gaping blankly, her eyes longingly gazing in the direction the black cat had left...

Hua Shi didn't know Hua Li's dissatisfaction, but he noticed Hua Yu's secret gaze on him.

How to say...

Hua Shi accidentally glanced over and was frightened by the cold and incomprehensible gaze.

That gaze was filled with resentment and disgust that she couldn't understand. It was dark and gloomy, as if something was brewing...
