Chapter 130 A Cat Has Nine Lives But One Heart (11)
Three o'clock in the morning.
An Huairou dragged her tired body back to the nightmare house.
She had nowhere else to go.
An Huairou once applied for asylum at the police station, but it was rejected - the reason was that her injuries were very minor, and Luo Xiangfei was quite cooperative... Finally, the police station said they would contact the local Women's Federation and send someone to provide An Huairou with living assistance during the days that Luo Xiangfei was detained.
An Huairou had no choice but to accept such an arrangement.
...An Huairou relied on the layout of her home in her memory and groped her way forward step by step in the double darkness.
“Woof woof—woof woof—”
When Daben saw his mistress coming back, he wagged his big tail to welcome her.
An Huairou responded affectionately by calling out "Daben".
The big wolf dog became even more excited, and wanted to pounce on the hostess with a run-up and act coquettishly.
Seeing this, Shi Sui also took a running start, flew over, and kicked Daben in the face.
"Your mistress's eyesight is not good. If you rush over like this, you will knock her down! Be quiet and stay still!"
"Woo woo—" Daben was either feeling wronged or on the way to feeling wronged. "I miss my mistress so much! She used to play with me and help me take a bath! But ever since she disappeared, I've been chained up by the male owner. There's no one to play with me, and I can't even eat enough..."
An Huairou heard the cat's meow and quickly asked, "Little Black Cat, is that you? You were the one who helped me lead the police here, right?"
Unfortunately, Shisui couldn't speak, so she could only meow and circle gently at her feet.
"That's great! You're the one sent by God to save me...!"
An Huairou squatted down and stretched out her hand to feel around.
She first touched Shisui's tail, then followed the slippery fur to the belly, and finally found the little head and rubbed it lovingly.
When Daben saw this, he was extremely envious, so he carefully came forward and leaned on An Huairou's hand.
He asked to be touched too!
Comforted by the cat and the dog, An Huairou's anxiety was relieved a lot.
"With you guys here, I will definitely be strong!"
An Huairou was so tired that she didn't even change her clothes. She stumbled up to the room on the second floor and fell asleep.
I slept until noon the next day...
Bang bang——
Bang bang bang bang bang bang——
An Huairou was awakened by a violent knock on the door.
"Big sister Rourou!! I'm Sister Yang, the Women's Federation sent me to look after you!"
Outside the yard gate, a middle-aged woman in her 40s was shouting at the door with two plastic bags in her hands.
An Huairou woke up from her sleep and quickly responded, "I'm coming! Wait for me!"
She wore an eye mask and carefully groped her way down the stairs.
Shisui was one step ahead of her, running errands for her to the compound, and jumped over to open the gate.
When Mrs. Yang saw that it was a cat that opened the door, she kept muttering to herself, "A black cat... Could it be the one that bit the village chief last night..."
Sister Yang walked into the living room on the first floor, put down a lunch box, and said to An Huairou who was coming down the stairs, "Hey, sister, you just got up? The sun is already setting in the west!"
An Huairou explained sheepishly, "I got home very late yesterday, so I got up a little late."
"Then come over and have a hot meal. I brought you some food. I knew you were sick, so I specially cooked something lighter... Where do you keep your chopsticks?"
Mrs. Yang is the director of the Women's Federation. She has come into contact with many people and things, and has a social aura. She is quite enthusiastic towards An Huairou.
Before eating, An Huairou thanked Mrs. Yang again and again for coming.
Like many older women, Mrs. Yang naturally started chatting with her.
"It's just a matter of putting more rice in the cooking. My home isn't far from yours, so it's not a big deal."
But when An Huairou asked her whether the Women's Federation could provide her with some shelter after Luo Xiangfei's detention ended, Mrs. Yang remained silent.
"I just followed the orders of the leaders and delivered your meals twice a day. I don't know anything else."
Although An Huairou was a little disappointed, she stopped there and did not ask any further questions.
After dinner, Mrs. Yang took the initiative to wash the lunch boxes. An Huairou felt embarrassed to just enjoy other people's help, so she did her best to clean up the living room.
After washing the dishes in the kitchen, Mrs. Yang returned to the living room and saw An Huairou wearing an eye mask and working hard to clean up the clutter on the table. The expression on her face began to become a little complicated.
She hesitated for a long time before finally speaking: "What you said is a little different from what our village chief said."
From Yang Sou's rambling, An Huairou and Shi Sui learned that the nosy village chief had called the leader of the Women's Federation and said that An Huairou was an ungrateful "psychopath" and told the women's federation to be careful with An Huairou, saying, "She's an ungrateful person. There's no need to be too nice to her!"
Yang Sou sighed and said, "I didn't quite believe that Luo Xiangfei would lock you up. After all, he's always polite to everyone... Now I think you're a pretty good person. Maybe what you said is true. I've been working at the Women's Federation in this county for almost 10 years and have seen a lot of bizarre family affairs. But, women are always afraid of marrying the wrong man. When it comes to marriage, women are always no match for men."
The meaning of Mrs. Yang's mumbling was very clear, that is, she sympathized with An Huairou's situation, but because of the village chief's face, she could not help her further.
Mrs. Yang said that all she could do was to report this to her superiors after returning home and see if they could send someone to visit regularly to prevent the imprisonment problem from happening again.
...Shi Sui heard a clue from Mrs. Yang's words.
Why would the village chief protect Luo Xiangfei to this extent?
It's no longer as simple as "mutual admiration" between two stinky men.
The two of them... must have some hidden secret. Shisui wants to wipe them out!
