Chapter 554
When he was a child, before entering the new society, he had seen a group of rich ladies raising cats, but could those pet cats really catch rats?
After entering the new society, he had only seen wild cats, never domestic ones.
"You don't need to worry about that!"
Jia Zhangshi smiled mysteriously.
The next morning.
Jia Zhangshi went out with a rope.
"First Elder's wife, Second Elder's wife, come over here; I have something to tell you."
"Just now, Jia Zhangshi went out with a rope; do you think she's going to climb a tree to catch an owl again?"
The Third Elder's wife went to find the First and Second Elder's wives.
"Whether she is or not has nothing to do with me; the rope she took this time wasn't borrowed from me!"
Whenever a rope was mentioned, the First Elder's wife's face turned dark.
When Jia Zhangshi went to look for an owl, she borrowed a rope from her; the rope broke, Jia Zhangshi fell, and instead, she blamed the rope for being too thin.
She even extorted five yuan from Yi Zhonghai.
"First Elder's wife, you really can't escape this."
"The rope Jia Zhangshi took is the one she borrowed from your house last time; after it broke, there was still a piece left, and she didn't return it to you!"
The Third Elder's wife laughed.
"What?"
The First Elder's wife's face looked even worse.
If Jia Zhangshi had another accident, would she come to extort Yi Zhonghai again?
At this moment.
Jia Zhangshi headed straight for the suburbs.
She wanted to find a wild cat to raise.
She believed that domestic cats and wild cats were all cats; in the wild, they were wild cats, and if you caught them and raised them at home, they were domestic cats—all were good at catching rats.
"Why aren't there any wild cats?"
"When I went to catch the owl last time, I clearly saw two wild cats; why are they gone?"
Jia Zhangshi turned around and around, but couldn't find any!
She searched for over half an hour.
"Haha, found it!"
Jia Zhangshi saw a wild cat.
It was especially fat—the fattest cat she had ever seen—and it looked fiercer than an average cat; when it opened its mouth, the two front teeth on its upper jaw were especially long.
"Haha, too good."
"Growing so fat, it must be very good at catching rats—it ate until it got fat!"
"As long as I catch it, I won't have to worry about rats anymore."
Jia Zhangshi's face smiled like a chrysanthemum.
A fat version of a chrysanthemum!
"Little kitty, I'm coming."
Jia Zhangshi rushed up, intending to use the rope to tie the cat.
How could the fat cat let her have her way?
It sprang up directly, scratching Jia Zhangshi several times on her hands, neck, and face, before running a short distance away and stopping.
Ah!
Jia Zhangshi screamed.
"Why is this cat so fierce?"
"I understand, this is a wild cat; its nature is wilder than a domestic cat!"
Jia Zhangshi realized.
She chased it several times but couldn't catch it.
"No, I can't outrun it."
"I'll go home first, and wait until tonight when Dongxu gets off work; Dongxu and I will come over to catch it together."
Jia Zhangshi decided.
She returned to the Sihe Academy.
The Third Elder's wife was shocked; what kind of trouble had Jia Zhangshi been up to?
What was with the scratches on her neck and face?
Was she scratched by someone?
It didn't look like it was scratched by a person!
The Third Elder's wife suppressed her curiosity and didn't ask!
Jia Zhangshi had a bad temper; if she asked, she would easily get cursed at!
Jia Zhangshi had just left.
The Third Elder's wife and the others began to discuss, guessing what Jia Zhangshi had been doing.
Everyone had their own theories.
In less than fifteen minutes, they had speculated over dozens of versions; the most exaggerated version was that Jia Zhangshi had gone to be a mistress for someone...
... and was blocked by the legal wife and scratched!
Off work.
Jia Dongxu returned and was shocked to see the scratches on Zhang Qunhua's neck and face.
"Mom, what happened to you?"
"Who did you fight with again?"
Jia Dongxu was very surprised.
"What fight?"
"I was scratched by a wild cat."
"I found a wild cat, especially fat; it must be especially good at catching rats—it ate until it was fat."
"It's too powerful; I couldn't catch it, and it even scratched me."
"Come, come with me to catch it."
Jia Zhangshi urged Jia Dongxu to go catch the cat together.
Jia Dongxu nodded; isn't it just a slightly fiercer wild cat?
It's not a lion or a tiger, so what's there to be afraid of?
Soon.
The two arrived at the place where Jia Zhangshi had discovered the fat wild cat.
"Mom, why is this cat a bit strange?"
"I've never seen such a fat cat, and it looks a bit fierce!"
Jia Dongxu saw the fat cat Jia Zhangshi had mentioned.
"It's good that it looks fierce!"
"What I want is a fierce-looking wild cat!"
Jia Zhangshi urged Jia Dongxu to catch the cat with her.
Jia Zhangshi was in the front, attracting the wild cat's attention, while Jia Dongxu held the rope, made a noose, and approached the wild cat quietly from behind.
Wah!
The fat cat let out a sharp cry, sprang up, and jumped over Jia Dongxu's head.
At the same time.
It gave Jia Dongxu a scratch.
Three bloody marks appeared on Jia Dongxu's left cheek; the skin was broken.
Jia Dongxu seriously suspected that if he hadn't dodged a little, that scratch wouldn't have just broken the skin—it would probably have left three gashes on his face.
"Is this wild cat too fierce?"
"This is the first time I've seen such a fierce wild cat!"
