Chapter 963 Apology
The reason why she called Xiao's father out was because she had discussed the matter of borrowing the dog with Xiao's father at the grain station, so she naturally didn't want to confront him right away.
When Mr. Xiao heard the shouting, he thought: Who would look for him at his daughter's house?
As soon as he came out, he saw the people coming from the grain station, and his face suddenly darkened: "Are you looking for me?"
The man who had come to borrow his dog earlier had a flash of embarrassment on his face: "Brother Shanliang, no, Brother Changsheng, let me first say sorry to you."
Father Xiao said coldly, "What did you say when you borrowed the dog? And Zhuifeng has been missing for a few days. Now you're saying sorry to me? You're a public institution, how can you do this?"
The man quickly put on a smile and said, "Brother Changsheng, I'm so sorry. It was all our negligence. We sent people everywhere to look for Zhuifeng the day he went missing, but we couldn't find him. I wanted to contact you, but I didn't have your address in the city. I'm so sorry. Look at what we've done."
They were worried about not being able to explain to the owner, but they didn't expect that after receiving a letter from Liushu Village, the dog followed the scent and found its owner.
While I breathed a sigh of relief, I felt a bit upset. I was so worried that I hadn't had a good New Year. I didn't expect that Zhuifeng would go home to reunite with his family. "Brother Changsheng, I know you're angry, but we didn't lose it on purpose."
Before Xiao's father could say anything, Chu Xue spoke first: "I want to ask, what was your promise when you borrowed the dog?"
The man coughed lightly, his face full of embarrassment: "I know, we really didn't take good care of Zhuifeng."
Chu Xue didn't let him continue: "Did you do it?"
The man was just thinking about how to respond when he heard Chuxue sneer, "Your grain station is really good. My Zhuifeng is almost skin and bones from starvation. Not to mention good food and drink, even food and clothing are a problem. I just want to ask where his rations are?"
When the man heard this, he knew someone might have heard about it, so he sighed heavily. "Nizi, I know it's futile for me to explain this matter any further. After all, Zhuifeng did suffer here with us. But I still want to point out that it was the man who was responsible for taking care of the dog who embezzled Zhuifeng's rations."
Chu Xue got angry when she heard this: "This dog has become thinner day by day due to starvation, not just in one day. Are you kidding me?"
The man knew that others would not believe him: "Nizi, that man is also a traitor. At the beginning, he asked us to watch the dog food every day. We saw that he was indeed feeding Zhuifeng on time and in the right amount, so we were relieved and thought that he was an honest person in the company. After that, we stopped paying attention to him.
After a few days, we found that the dog was not as lively as before. He even joked that he might miss his family. That night, Zhuifeng also caught a man near the granary. We thought it was quite smart and thought it was in a bad mood.
Later, several people from the grain station were sent to regional training, and the rest of the people were a little unable to come, so the matter of Zhuifeng was entirely entrusted to the person who took care of Zhuifeng.
After the trainees came back from the region and the shifts became regular again, someone wanted to take Zhuifeng out for some fresh air. Only then did they realize that Zhuifeng had lost a lot of weight, so they hurried to the front to tell everyone about it.
The person who took care of him said that Zhuifeng had no appetite. The stationmaster quickly asked someone to call a veterinarian to take a look. The veterinarian said that the dog was not sick at all, but was just hungry.
Only then did we realize that the man had deceived everyone. He had been coveting Zhuifeng's rations. At first, he didn't dare to take too much, but when he saw that no one noticed him, he became more and more daring. In the end, he even mixed the water used to wash the pot at home with a handful of bran and a handful of coarse grains, which was Zhuifeng's rations for a day.
