While the family was discussing whether the fourth child should go to school, Li Xiuying took the opportunity to slip in.
"Zhengzi, I came to see you."
Li Xiuying had a flattering smile on her face, which was full of wrinkles, and she walked towards their dining table carrying a basket of something unknown.
She looked like she had dressed up specially, and the clothes she wore were different from those when she was in the brigade.
The hair was also combed.
But she looked too old. Even after changing into neat clothes and combing her hair, she still couldn't hide her old age. The hair hanging behind her head was as dry as a handful of hay.
“Woof woof woof—”
Coal Ball screamed even louder, arched his body, dug the ground with his front paws, and made a whining sound from his mouth, ready to attack and bite Li Xiuying at any time.
Whenever Li Xiuying gets close to anyone in the house, it will rush out.
Li Xiuying really didn't dare to move forward.
Today's coal balls are no longer the little cubs they used to be. They are now dogs as tall as an adult's knee, with their mouths bared and fangs exposed. They can tear off a piece of meat with one bite, which makes people's legs tremble just by looking at them.
Li Xiuying didn't dare to move forward and glared at the dog, "You blind beast!"
Then she looked at Qin Zheng and Ye Yun with a smile, as if nothing had happened just now, and praised: "Zhengzi, you have a great dog. Look at how fierce it is, it must be a good guard!"
Qin Zheng: “…”
Ye Yun: “…”
Qin Xiang'e and Lao Si: "..."
The old lady held the bowl and spat at Li Xiuying: "Tui!"
Li Xiuying's face turned slightly blue.
But now she has to endure this anger and cannot fall out with Qin Zheng. She is still counting on Qin Zheng to take her to the city to enjoy a good life.
Li Xiuying was nothing but thick-skinned. She hadn't tasted meat for several months, so she stared at the stewed chicken on the table with her eyes wide open, her saliva watering with greed.
"Zhengzi, mother hasn't eaten yet, why don't we eat together?" As she spoke, she looked at Qin Zheng in a pretended kind manner.
In the past, she would have just sat down on it.
But now she didn't dare to act rashly without Qin Zheng's consent. After all, there was a black dog next to her staring at her hungrily.
Li Xiuying thought to herself that this blind beast would be killed with poison sooner or later!
"Coal briquettes, come on!"
Suddenly Qin Zheng shouted in a low voice.
"Woof——" Coal Ball received the order instantly, stepped back, and rushed towards Li Xiuying fiercely like a sharp arrow!
Li Xiuying was horrified.
"Zhengzi——"
The ferocious dog face of Coal Ball had already enlarged in her pupils, and she was so scared that she turned around and ran out, stumbling over her feet.
"Zhengzi! What do you mean?"
Li Xiuying ran out of the yard in a panic, and reacted quickly by closing the fence gate to block the coal balls that were rushing towards her.
Coal Ball was not to be outdone. He leaned over and barked at her through the fence.
Li Xiuying spat at the dog, and in a rage, she shouted at Qin Zheng across most of the yard, "Zhengzi! Are you crazy? You actually let the dog bite your own mother!"
Qin Zheng finally glanced at her.
That look contained no emotion, but was filled with indifference, unfamiliarity, and perhaps a hint of sharpness.
This look made Li Xiuying's emotions freeze. Her hands that were holding the fence door trembled a little, but she still coaxed: "Zhengzi, quickly let the dog go back and tell it that I am your mother and its owner. Tell it not to bite me. I am your mother."
Qin Zheng suddenly sneered.
There was a trace of mockery in his eyes, and he spoke clearly and word by word: "First, you are not my mother, you have nothing to do with me, and second, Coal Ball doesn't like cruel people. Don't think it doesn't know what you were thinking just now. Are you worthy of being its master?"
"If you don't leave now, it will jump over and bite you to death!"
These words made Li Xiuying's heart tremble.
Li Xiuying subconsciously looked at the height of the fence gate. How could a fence gate that was only half a person's height be difficult for a dog that jumped up and down in the mountains all day long?
Inside the door, Coal Ball gradually lowered his body.
A pair of eyes filled with ferocity looked at the fence gate, its front paws moved restlessly, and it jumped up with a rub!
Rushed towards Li Xiuying behind the door!
"ah--"
The dog's paw rushed towards Li Xiuying's shoulder. Li Xiuying didn't have time to dodge. The clothes on her shoulder were scratched by Coal Ball's claws, and she was knocked to the ground by Coal Ball.
Coal Ball opened his mouth and bit her face.
Li Xiuying screamed in fear, pushed the coal ball away, and ran down the slope screaming and pissing her shit.
The basket fell to the ground.
The fruits flew all over the ground and rolled down the slope, but their speed was even slower than that of Li Xiuying who was running away.
Meiqiu didn't chase her anymore, but stood at the door and barked at Li Xiuying's back.
Qin Zheng shouted: "Coal briquettes!"
Only then did Coal Ball stop shouting.
In the setting sun, the puppy raised his head high, chin up, and stood on the slope proudly, as proud as a rooster that had won a battle.
"Coal Ball, you're back!"
Ye Yun shouted.
Coal Ball instantly wagged its tail, jumped over the fence gate easily, and walked towards the dining table happily.
Ye Yun picked up a piece of chicken neck.
Coal Ball's eyes lit up, and his pitch-black eyes stared straight at Ye Yun's chopsticks. He tilted his head, and his little tail was wagging so hard that it almost took off.
Ye Yun laughed and threw the chicken neck on the chopsticks in her hand towards it.
The chicken's neck drew a parabola in the air. Coal Ball took deliberate action, leaped up, and accurately grabbed the chicken's neck.
“Woof…”
After receiving the reward, Coal Ball lay on the ground and started chewing the chicken neck with relish, making a crunching sound as he bit the bones.
