Chapter 48 Animals Fight to Gain Good Reviews (Revised)
Gu Yiliu checked the system's approval rating.
She gained 4% from the cobra, 1% from the koi fish, and another 1% from the meat bun's hope that she could save Cat Brother. She also received 1% positive feedback from Cat Brother when she saved him.
However, the progress bar, which should have been 7%, suddenly dropped to 0. This means that when DianDian helped her save Cat Brother, she lost 7% of her energy.
Perhaps it's more than that; the system's progress bar, which had just been upgraded, suddenly regressed, essentially dropping a level, otherwise the system wouldn't have fallen into a dormant state.
Therefore, she still needed to help the system advance its level as soon as possible. Gu Yiliu sighed. Just then, Tang Shishen and Wu Runyi came to visit Cat Brother with their child Yangyang, so Gu Yiliu entrusted Cat Brother to the care of the three of them.
Wu Runyi quickly hugged Cat Brother and asked him carefully about the precautions, "Are there any precautions to take when he eats? Do I have to hold him the whole time?"
Gu Yiliu shook his head, "It's just become stupid now, but it has no other problems with eating, drinking, or defecating."
This also shows that Cat Brother's physical fitness is truly amazing.
"Then, can I give it a bath?" Wu Runyi asked again.
Gu Yiliu was stunned. Only then did she realize that Cat Brother was filthy. From the time she left Brother Shan's cattery to when she went to keep watch, and then to when she brought him home, he had never cleaned his fur.
She laughed awkwardly at her carelessness, "Anything is fine as long as it doesn't hurt it."
After settling Cat Brother in, Gu Yiliu went out to "do good deeds".
Where there are the most animals, besides zoos, is naturally livestock stations.
Gu Yiliu went straight to the livestock station.
She arrived at the perfect time; there were quite a few animals at the livestock station.
They are all domesticated animals.
Gu Yiliu went in and listened and observed for a while.
"Your pig is too dirty. No wonder it's sick. Go get some water and take it outside to wash it. I'll take a look at it then."
The five-month-old piglet grunted twice, its eyes filled with gratitude as it looked at the veterinarian.
Veterinarian! You are such a good veterinarian! I've finally waited for you.
Gu Yiliu chuckled as he listened to the little pig's thoughts. The little pig might have many needs, Gu Yiliu noted them down, he couldn't let it run away.
Ni Xue'ou handed the piglet to its owner, and upon hearing laughter, glanced at Gu Yiliu. She saw that the latter wasn't looking at her, but rather watching the direction the piglet had gone.
With just one glance, Ni Xue'ou continued her consultation.
"How long has your little bunny had a hard belly?"
"It's been two months."
"You brought it two months ago? The little rabbit has suffered. You can massage its belly until it poops, then stop."
Ni Xue'ou examined the rabbit from head to toe. As she pinched the rabbit's ears, Gu Yiliu heard the rabbit shout loudly.
"Aaaaaah! Veterinarian, my ears are itchy! Tell my owner so she can clean them for me!"
Gu Yiliu looked at the little rabbit. Although it was called a little rabbit, it was actually quite large, with big, long ears that drooped down on both sides of its head. When it made a sound, its cute nose twitched.
This is a demand. Gu Yiliu smiled and secretly noted it down.
"You dog..."
"..."
After observing for a long time, Gu Yiliu finally caught people's attention.
"Miss, is there anything I can help you with, or your pets?" After examining all the small animals she had, Ni Xue'ou looked up and turned to Gu Yiliu.
It was impossible for Ni Xue'ou not to notice her. Every time she examined a small animal, the person listening most attentively, besides the owner, was the woman in front of her, who was also smiling.
Thinking of this, Ni Xueou asked with a puzzled look in her eyes.
What were you laughing at? Was my diagnosis wrong?
Gu Yiliu hadn't expected to cause her any misunderstanding. Not wanting to annoy anyone, she quickly explained, "No, your diagnosis is correct. I just found it funny when I heard the little pig calling itself, so I laughed. I didn't mean anything else."
Ni Xue'ou was even more puzzled, "You heard that?"
Gu Yiliu nodded. "That little pig praised you as a good veterinarian, saying that the pig had finally waited for you. I laughed because of the nickname 'pig'."
Ni Xue'ou understood. She murmured, "Piggy, I've finally waited for you," and then belatedly smiled.
She quickly understood why Gu Yiliu wanted to laugh: "This little pig is still a cub, so his words are inevitably a bit immature."
"Are you Gu Yiliu?" Ni Xueou asked after looking at her intently for a while.
Gu Yiliu nodded.
"I don't know how you speak animal language. Can I bring you back so I can see it?" Ni Xue'ou often interacts with animals, and she knows that animals have their own ways of expressing themselves. Because of her years of contact with animals, she is able to understand their behavior and habits.
More than half a year ago, ever since she learned about Gu Yiliu, she had been thinking about meeting him one day. She was curious whether animal language was a real language.
This coincided with Gu Yiliu's idea, so Gu Yiliu was naturally happy to agree.
Soon, the opportunity came. The piglet was washed clean by its owner and brought inside. Its skin was red, especially its ears and belly.
Ni Xue'ou examined the pig and gently pressed its ear; it was still red when she released it. She then asked the owner what other symptoms the pig had.
"diarrhea."
Ni Xue'ou nodded, having made up her mind. She turned to her assistant and instructed, "It's erythroderma, prepare to give the injection."
"Hmph hmph hmph~" The little pig rubbed against Ni Xue'ou's palm.
Veterinarian, I'm afraid of pain, please be gentle.
Ni Xue'ou's eyes lit up, and she turned to look at Gu Yiliu. "What is it saying?"
"It said, 'Veterinarian, I'm afraid of pain, please be gentle with the injection.'"
The little pig in Ni Xue'ou's hand suddenly raised its head, let out a surprised "humph," its ears perked up, and its little eyes were full of astonishment.
The little pig was surprised that the woman next to the veterinarian could understand it.
"Hmph hmph hmph!" How could you possibly understand what I'm saying? Even my master doesn't understand!
The pig squealed loudly, and its squeals instantly startled all the animals in the livestock station's hall.
Every single animal was looking in the direction of the piglet. Even their clueless owner was looking over as well.
"Woof?" What?
"Huh?" What did you say?
"Chirp chirp?" Pighead, what's going on?
Upon hearing this, the little pig immediately retorted, "Hmph! Chicken head, if you call me pig head again, believe me, I'll eat you!"
"Chirp!" Tch!
"Baa! Baa!" How childish! What a child!
"..."
Gu Yiliu saw the rooster with the dripping water spread its wings toward the lamb opposite it.
As a result, the lamb on the other side only gave it a dismissive look and then ignored it.
That one look was enough to make the rooster crow in grief and indignation.
"Cluck cluck!"
"..." Gu Yiliu suddenly laughed.
"What's wrong with them?" one of the animal owners asked.
"Has he gone mad?"
Ni Xue'ou glanced at the man, "How could he suddenly go crazy? Nonsense!"
The man chuckled, "Could it really be..." He glanced at Gu Yiliu, who could understand animal speech, something even veterinarians couldn't understand. Could someone be that capable?
However, he accepted it well. Ni Xue'ou told him not to talk nonsense, so he just watched quietly.
Looking at the sudden "restlessness" of the small animals, Ni Xue'ou glanced at Gu Yiliu and understood that it was all related to her.
What are they saying?
As soon as he asked the question, all the animals in the livestock station's hall turned to look at Gu Yiliu.
Gu Yiliu scratched his head and laughed, "They're arguing."
Although it sounded absurdly funny, Ni Xue'ou inexplicably believed it. She laughed and said, "Ask this little pig if it's feeling unwell anywhere else?"
Gu Yiliu looked at the little pig, but before she could speak, she heard the little pig ask her, "Hmph hmph hmph?" You can understand what I'm saying, so can you help me?
Upon hearing this, Gu Yiliu seemed to see positive reviews flooding in.
What do you want me to help you with?
The pig glanced at its owner and opened its mouth.
"Hmph hmph hmph?" Could you please find me a different owner?
Gu Yiliu quickly clicked "confirm".
She also glanced at the pig's owner, a robust man in his sixties, who silently watched Gu Yiliu "communicate" with his pig.
The old man planned that after the conversation, he would ask the woman what his little pig had said.
Actually, the old man also wanted to know how his piglet viewed him. He fed it well every day, and the old man believed that his piglet must really like him. Just now, when he was giving it a bath, it didn't move at all and was very well-behaved.
"Why?" Gu Yiliu glanced at the old man.
"Hmph!" Because he's not clean.
The little pig almost cried when he said that.
Except for Gu Yiliu, no one else could understand what the little pig was saying, but the other animals could.
Unsurprisingly, he was mocked by the rooster.
"Cluck cluck!" How clean can a pig be? It poops in huge clumps.
The little pig suddenly turned its head and loudly cursed the rooster.
"Hmph!" You dead rooster, you dare to criticize me just because you rooster's crows and shrugs wherever you want!
The sheep uttered a haughty remark, thinking that both the chicken and the pig were fools, arguing about such pointless wins and losses. "Baa~"
You two are cut from the same cloth.
The rooster was furious, wishing he could pluck all the wool off the sheep across from him. This guy's droppings were the smelliest, but his meat was the most delicious! He wanted to pluck all the wool off and use it for hot pot!
"Squeak! Hey, you mutton hotpot, shut up!"
"Meow~" Okay, I'll shut up~
The rooster was so angry that it flapped its wings.
Gu Yiliu found it both enjoyable to watch and enjoyable to listen to.
"I'm afraid I can't help you with this." Gu Yiliu really couldn't help.
"Hmph?" Why?
The little pig looked dejected and couldn't stop feeling disappointed.
"Miss, what did my little pig say?" the old man asked. "And could you help me ask it what it thinks of me? I raised it to..." The old man gave a simple smile, embarrassed to say the rest, but everyone present knew what he meant.
The purpose of raising pigs is to sell them for money.
Ni Xue'ou and the others also looked at Gu Yiliu; they all wanted to know.
“It says it wants a different owner,” Gu Yiliu said, looking at the old man, “because it thinks you’re not clean.”
The old man exclaimed "Ah!" and after a moment, a smile appeared on his dark-skinned face. He looked at the piglet and said, "Oh dear, I'll clean your pigsty more often from now on, otherwise you'll get sick."
The little pig turned its head, "Oink oink! Oink oink!"
It's not because I'm sick that I'm disgusted with you, it's because I can't stand it anymore! I'm a clean little pig! You never wash my trotters, they're full of filth and poop! I'm itchy and you don't rinse me off! If you're not clean, I don't want to eat anymore! I might as well starve to death!
Gu Yiliu told the old man what the little pig had said.
The old man sensed the pig's grievance. He had never known that his pig was so wronged. In his old mind, if a pig grew up big and strong, it meant he had raised it well. But it turned out there was more to it than that.
"Okay, I'll be clean from now on and take good care of you. If you feel it's dirty, just call me and I'll definitely clean the pigsty for you."
"Hmph?" Really?
The old man nodded, "Of course it's true!"
Ni Xueou also told the old man, "Actually, the reason your pigs got red skin disease is because they are too dirty and have been infected with bacteria. You really need to be careful."
The old man readily agreed. Just then, Ni Xue'ou's assistant reminded him that it was time for the injection, so he quickly took the piglet to get it.
"Comrade, could you ask my sheep for me?"
"Comrade, could you ask my chickens?"
"Comrade, could you ask my dog for me?"
Gu Yiliu stopped everyone from talking at once, saying, "Your sheep, chickens, and dogs have to be willing to talk to me. It's not that I'm unwilling to help you, but if they're unwilling to communicate with me, there's nothing I can do."
She then looked at each of the small animals one by one, asking, "Is there anything you need my help with? Would you like me to relay your messages to your owner? Is there anything you'd like your owner to do for you? What do you like to eat? Would you like to tell your owner so they can prepare more for you?"
Gu Yiliu's words sounded ordinary, but only Gu Yiliu knew that she was eager to lure these innocent little animals with bribes.
The innocent little animals, upon hearing her words, began to stir restlessly, one by one...

Author's Note: I'm here! Commenting will get me a red envelope! I also recommend my pre-order, "Deeply Bound to a Master of Historical Fiction"—please add it to your favorites if you like it! [kissing emojis]
Synopsis: This story is also known as: "The Scheming Father and Daughter in a Historical Fiction [1960s]"
When Jiang Yulu opened her eyes, she found herself and her father transported to the 1960s.
The story begins in hell mode: she marries a female military officer after her father's marriage, but the officer's two sons dislike her and are determined to drive her and her father away.
The wealthy stepmother has both money and power, and neither the father nor the daughter wants to give her up.
The wealthy stepmother cares about the father but completely disregards her stepdaughter, even declaring, "You can only choose one: your wife or your daughter!"
Jiang Yulu gritted her teeth and, in order to avoid being kicked out and to further solidify her relationship with her father, conspired with her father to scheme against Zou Jingpu, the son of her wealthy stepmother's direct superior and a notorious figure in the military.
A man and a woman were found lying alone in bed. Faced with the wrath of her wealthy stepmother, Jiang Yulu clung tightly to the man's back, her doe-like eyes filled with fear and grievance.
Zou Jingpu, who held a high position and was indifferent to women, never expected that he would end up being bitten by the rabbit right next to him.
He was furious, convinced she was a scheming woman. The organization instructed him to acknowledge Jiang Yulu as his girlfriend, and he did.
Zou Jingpu made up his mind not to ask any more questions beyond the necessary greetings.
But Jiang Yulu and what she did for him were constantly mentioned in his ears.
Winter is coming, so I knitted him a sweater by hand and brought it to him.
He said he wanted to eat the snacks he ate when he was a child, so she made them for him by hand and delivered them to his desk the next day.
She took care of his mother day and night when she was sick, and even his picky mother praised her a thousand times.
And so on... Sometimes Zou Jingpu thought that if she could always be like this, he would treat her better.
After his opinion of her changed, he thought of taking her to the movies, but unexpectedly stumbled upon her having a private conversation with her father.
She asked, "Dad, did you bring it up? Does your rich stepmother want to have a child with you?"
"...I didn't mention it. If I had, she would probably have wanted a divorce, and your stepmother probably wouldn't have wanted you either."
"So, how are things going between you and Jingpu?"
She said, "Don't even mention it, it's so difficult."
“Your stepmother said she wanted the scarf I knitted. I’ll knit an extra one and give it to her in your name, how about that?”
"OK."
Zou Jingpu's face turned as black as ink. It turned out that everything she had done for him was done by her father. How ridiculous that he had always thought it was she who had done it for him.
He watched coldly as she tried to please him. Soon, the father and daughter's scheme was exposed, and he and she were quickly cut ties. He thought she would come to him crying and begging. He thought that if she cried, he wouldn't be angry with her. Who would have thought that she would turn around and start contacting other people?
"Jiang Yulu, am I dead?" he sneered.
