Madam Yang was so angry that she was shaking all over. She knew that Su Nuannuan was unwilling to move back to the backyard, but what did you mean by forcing me? For a moment, she really wanted to agree to let this shrew move back regardless of the consequences, just to see who would be dumbfounded? But thinking about it, the backyard would be very lively by then. If her son was chased by her again, he would be so embarrassed that he would be thrown to his grandmother's house. What's more, what if this was a provocation? If she fell into the trap and agreed, wouldn't she be doing what this shrew wanted?
Thinking of this, Madam Yang tried hard to suppress the urge to challenge, and snorted coldly and walked away: She didn't care, let this shrew do whatever she wanted, as long as she didn't get in front of her.
"This is steamed fish. It's delicious with rice, right? Eat slowly, don't choke. Have you not eaten enough in a few meals?"
Su Nuannuan touched the clean back of the big tabby cat, making the big cat close its eyes comfortably, but its head was eating the rice and steamed fish in the blue and white bowl bit by bit quickly, which made Su Nuannuan very pleased. She felt that this big tabby cat should be her pet. Look how greedy it was, it looked like her.
"Well, what name should we give it?" Su Nuannuan put her hand under her chin and seriously considered this important question. Finally, she decided, "Let's call it Zhaocai."
"Zhaocai?" Honglian, who was passing by her, staggered and almost fell to the ground. She murmured, "Grandma, are you kidding? Zhaocai... this name is too vulgar. It's better to call her Mimi or something."
"Zhaocai is a male cat." Su Nuannuan looked at Honglian seriously: "Is it appropriate to call him Mimi?"
"That... that can't be called Zhaocai. How can that be a name that the Crown Prince's wife would come up with? People would laugh their heads off when they hear it."
"What's wrong with Zhaocai? The wife of the prince also has to eat and spend money. A name that means money is the most auspicious. Whoever wants to laugh can laugh. I just love money, so what? Is there anyone in the world who doesn't love money? But many people pretend to be noble on the surface, and denounce it as money. Bah! A bunch of hypocrites. I am different from them. I am a real villain. It's decided, let's call it Zhaocai. How good is a fortune cat? How auspicious? Yes. Let's call it Zhaocai. I won't change it."
Honglian looked at the big cat with sympathy and whispered, "Cat, it's not that I won't help you. But I'm just a servant and I can't change grandma's mind. Poor thing, from now on you can only be called Zhaocai."
"Meow..." The big cat raised its head from the bowl and called out. Not noticing its dissatisfaction with the new name, Su Nuannuan couldn't help but smile and said, "That's right. What's the point of a name? As long as there's food to eat, you can call me cat or dog."
Honglian also laughed and shook her head, saying, "This is just a cat or a dog."
Before he finished speaking, he heard a scream from the kitchen: "Su Mengnuan. You vicious woman. Ahhhhh!"
Honglian was startled, but Su Nuannuan remained motionless and said calmly, "What's the big deal? It's not the first time your grandfather has turned into a rat and entered the kitchen."
Honglian asked in confusion, "I know that Master likes to go into our kitchen, but what's with the noise today? Usually Master eats in secret. He only comes over after he finishes eating."
Su Nuannuan sneered, stood up and stretched, and said leisurely: "There is nothing to steal in the kitchen today, so the greedy rat will be anxious and angry, right?"
Before she could finish her words, Duan Tingxuan rushed in from outside, jumped in front of Su Nuannuan like a meteor, and asked repeatedly: "Where is the shrimp and eel noodles? Where are the pig ears? Where are the snacks? How come there is not even a piece of pickled mustard tuber left? Are you planning to move?"
"Where should I move to?" Su Nuannuan looked at Duan Tingxuan with a half-smile, "Give up on this scumbag. I didn't give in in front of the old lady today. I won't move to the backyard of the inner house to fight with my sisters."
Duan Tingxuan sat down like a deflated ball, and said depressedly, "I also know that the old lady may not be useful, but I didn't expect you to really not give me any face. Forget it, there is no rush for this matter, let's put it aside for now. I want to ask you, where are the things in the kitchen? Why are they so clean as if they were robbed?"
Su Nuannuan said: "I cooked lunch in the big kitchen today, and then the Xue family's daughter-in-law came over and swept away the pork sauce and other things and took them all to the big kitchen. I was too lazy to cook in the evening, so I just made some rice and steamed two fish..."
Before he could finish, Duan Tingxuan's eyes lit up and he said with salivating eyes, "You don't have to come up with fancy tricks every time. The steamed fish you make must be excellent. Where is it? Bring it out to me quickly."
Su Nuannuan said with a smile: "It's dark now, aren't we going to eat? Of course we ate."
"What? You ate it all?" The young marquis' eyes instantly widened like a hungry wolf: "There's...there's nothing left?"
"There is some rice and half a fish left..." Su Nuannuan said slowly, but before she could finish, Duan Tingxuan grabbed her sleeve. The scumbag asked with starry eyes and hope, "Where is it? It doesn't matter if it's leftovers. We have been married for five years. What intimate things have we not done? I don't mind eating your leftovers."
"Get lost." Su Nuannuan blushed. Duan Tingxuan was so shameless. He said such things in front of the girl. He was shameless and I still had some dignity.
"Where exactly is it? Tell me." The young marquis was also impatient and asked murderously. He was really hungry after working outside all day.
"Hey!" Su Nuannuan tilted her head. Duan Tingxuan followed her gaze and saw the big cat Zhaocai. He was stunned for a moment, then said casually: "You like cats? You should have said so earlier. I would have gone to the palace to get you a Persian cat. That's beautiful. This is just a local cat..."
Before the word "forget it" came out of his mouth, the young marquis finally saw the point and looked at the large blue and white bowl in disbelief. He pounced on it like a hungry tiger, pointed at the rice and fish in the bowl and looked at Su Nuannuan, his voice trembling: "This... this is..."
"The remaining rice and the half steamed fish." Su Nuannuan spread her hands and said, "I am a son of a wealthy family, I won't compete with a cat for food, right?"
Duan Tingxuan really couldn't do such a tasteless thing as competing with a cat for food. However, the screams and murderous intent that Su Nuannuan imagined did not appear. The young marquis seemed to have lost all his bones. He slumped in his chair and said in despair: "I run around every day, working hard for the prosperity of this family and for the people in this family to live a happy and smooth life. In the end, I... I am worse than a cat?"
As he spoke, the young marquis raised his head, looked at Honglian with tearful eyes, and murmured with trembling lips: "You say, I... am I really that hateful? You would rather feed the leftovers to the cat than give them to me? I... that's all, my true love has gone with the flow, this is how things are in the world, you... enjoy your meal, I'm leaving..."
