Chapter 211 Xie Xiaoxiao reports
"I've also seen the big rooster in the neighbor's house. It's really fierce. When I went back to my grandma's house two days ago, it followed me around, as if it could peck me at any time."
Lin Ting adjusted his sitting position and said gently, "It's true that you can persuade me, but it's only treating the symptoms, not the root cause."
"What should I do? Should I take the big rooster back home, rush into the neighbor's house and beat the big rooster?" the boy said casually.
But the big rooster in his arms began to get inexplicably excited.
"This is not a bad idea. Take this weakling human with you and kill the big rooster. Let it laugh at the chicken and steal the little flower from the chicken. Now even the little flower laughs at the chicken and calls it a defeated bald chicken."
"The chicken must come back to avenge its previous shame and let the little chicken know that it is the most powerful chicken in the whole village."
Hearing the big rooster's ambitious words, Lin Ting tried hard not to laugh out loud.
If this happened in a tiger park, the rooster would definitely be ridiculed for being old.
However, compared to the male tiger, the old rooster really cannot be seen, except for the base of its claws. Its hair is very shiny and its feathers are as red as fire, which shows that it is well taken care of by the old lady.
"What's wrong with Sister Lin's big rooster?" The boy held it tightly, and several times the big rooster broke free because it was too excited.
Lin Ting smiled and looked at the confused boy in front of him, "Big Rooster agrees with your idea."
Hearing this, the boy instantly became timid.
He just said it casually, but he had no intention of helping to beat the big rooster next door. The big rooster next door was so fierce. Even if the big rooster was added, with one rooster each, he was not sure he could beat it.
The dogs in the village are already very ferocious. If he can't even defeat the village dogs, wouldn't he just be asking for his death?
The boy looked at the big rooster with a guilty look.
"What? This weakling human is going to go back on his word, isn't he?"
Lin Ting didn't answer the question about the rooster. "You said the neighbor's rooster is fed to his grandchildren in the city and is killed every Chinese New Year."
"Yes, last year during the Chinese New Year, my neighbor killed a chicken and stewed it with mushrooms. He also sent a bowl to my grandma. It was delicious."
Since they are raised to be eaten, not for companionship like this big rooster.
Lin Ting knocked on the table, a cunning light in his eyes, "I have an idea."
"Sister Lin, if you have any good ideas, please tell me." As long as he is not allowed to fight the big rooster, it will be fine. If he had known that the big rooster in his arms would agree, he would not have said anything nonsense. Now, unless there is a better solution to get along with each other, he will be digging a hole and jumping into it.
"You pay to buy the fierce big rooster next door, and you can do whatever you want with the rest." Lin Ting tapped the table with his fingers, as if waiting for the boy's response.
After hearing this, the boy excitedly flipped the table and stood up, "Sister Lin, what a good idea! This is really a good idea. I will go back now and buy the big rooster next door."
"Thank you Sister Lin for curing my grandma's big rooster. I'll go back first." The boy hugged the big rooster and bowed to Lin excitedly.
Lin Ting quickly stood up and helped the boy up.
There was no rush now, so Lin Ting personally sent the boy out of the pet hospital.
Just as she was about to turn back, a thin figure ran towards her, "Sister Lin."
Xie Xiaoxiao ran towards her in a dress, her ponytails sweeping back and forth behind her. Because she was not so familiar with her, Xie Xiaoxiao did not jump into her arms directly, but stopped at an appropriate position, "Xiaoxiao, why are you here?"
Xie Xiaoxiao took out two brocade boxes from her bag and handed them to Lin Ting. "Last night, Sister Lin sent me the dimensions, and I immediately sent them to my brother, asking him to contact the factory to expedite the production."
"I originally thought I'd have to wait another day, but the factory was so quick to finish it overnight, and it was on my brother's desk the next morning."
"The pearls on it are all freshly mined old clam pearls, and there's a small diamond in the middle, which makes it look even more sparkly. Sister Lin, take a look at it first. If you're not satisfied, you can return it to the factory for modification."
Lin Ting opened the brocade box under Xie Xiaoxiao's expectant gaze. A pink pearl necklace appeared in the box, which seemed to glow in the sunlight. "It's so beautiful! I'm afraid these pearls were specially selected by you and Mr. Xie. I'm afraid the money I gave you is not enough. I will give you the rest later."
Xie Xiaoxiao grabbed Lin Ting's wrist and said, "No need for that. Sister Lin, why are you so polite to us? You've helped us so much, and we don't have much to give you, so we made this necklace with all our heart. You don't have to be so polite to us anymore. If you continue to be so polite, I'm afraid you won't even be able to make friends with us."
Seeing that the other party was determined not to accept it, Lin Ting did not continue to be tough, "In that case, I will accept it."
"Sister Lin, I have another thing to ask." Xie Xiaoxiao spoke hesitantly.
"Don't stand here, it's too hot. Let's go to the cat cafe and tell them." Lin Ting took the brocade box and pulled Xie Xiaoxiao into the cat cafe next door.
The waiter came forward immediately when he saw the two people coming.
Considering Xie Xiaoxiao's situation, Lin Ting ordered two glasses of orange juice and corn tarts.
"After Sister Lin came home yesterday, I discussed with my parents and brother about working at the cat cafe. My parents were a little opposed at first, but after my brother persuaded them, they agreed."
"Sister Lin, due to my health, I can't do much work, so I don't want any salary. I just come here to help and relax."
Xie Xiaoxiao quickly added, "My family thinks the same thing. I could quit at any time. I'm just here to help out for fun. I might even need Sister Lin to take care of me, and I can't ask for a salary."
"Since you're working here, I'll pay you a salary, more or less. Don't refuse. I'm already very happy that you can come and help me and relax. I'll tell them later."
"The cat cafe and the pet hospital are right next door. If you don't like the cat cafe, you can come to the pet hospital and help me take care of the kittens."
"Let's eat something first. By the way, did you feel uncomfortable after eating some greasy food yesterday?" Lin Ting asked, changing the subject.
"No." Xie Xiaoxiao shook her head obediently.
The little girl from the Xie family is so obedient and gentle that she looks like she is easy to bully. No wonder the family hasn't let her go out since Xie Xiaoxiao fell ill.
"That's fine. You play here first. I have some patients to take care of when I get back." Lin Ting patted the little girl's shoulder, stood up and walked back to the pet hospital next door.
Before going back, he also talked about Xie Xiaoxiao with the manager and staff of the cat cafe, asking them to take better care of Xie Xiaoxiao. Xie Xiaoxiao did not have to abide by the employee rules and could leave work whenever she wanted. After all, Xie Xiaoxiao did not want any salary and was just helping out.
