Chapter 275: Good heavens, the cat raised by his granddaughter has really become a spirit!

~8 min read 1,489 words

The annual Labor Day was approaching, and the Political Commissar's office began to get busy with this year's matchmaking wave.

Their team's products were absolutely reliable!

Perhaps it was because happy events put one in high spirits; after Political Commissar Ji was blessed with a daughter, not only were the hairs on the back of his head saved, but his gray hair stopped spreading.

Honestly, without telling outsiders, Political Commissar Ji was eating black sesame paste.

He was also afraid that when his daughter grew up, he would be old and decrepit and be mistaken for her grandfather!

For this reason, his wife would secretly laugh at him behind his back—what was he doing earlier?

What was he doing earlier? Who told his wife to give birth to two boys first? He was exhausted every day, and when he got home, there were two mud monkeys; he was numb too, okay?

Boys were a type of creature where one was enough, and two were a disaster!

Fighting, not doing homework properly, playing in the mud when they were little, and the mud was mixed with urine...

The past was too painful to look back on; now he and his wife had gotten their wish and could finally get a vasectomy and seal the deal!

What if they had another boy?

Spare his old life!

Now, when sons got married, they needed houses and dozens of legs of furniture.

In the future, there would probably be other big items; he couldn't afford it.

Don't think that just because he was a Political Commissar, his allowance was high.

His hometown, his wife's hometown—everywhere there were relatives. If you didn't help this one or ignore that one, people would say behind your back that you didn't recognize your poor relatives!

Mainly, both sets of parents were in the countryside. You had to give them face; if they really asked, you helped with emergencies, not poverty.

"Old Ji, my niece from my maiden home can come tomorrow. I plan to send Si Si to the younger brother's house for the morning, let the two boys accompany their sister at the younger brother's house, and at noon, after I pick up the person, I'll go to the younger brother's house to pick up the three siblings and bring them home."

"That's fine, but tell the eldest to bring milk powder; don't take advantage of others."

"That goes without saying."

After the couple agreed, the matter was settled.

Wang Mingkui was bathing her daughter, teasing her with a beaming face, and she was looking forward to the niece who was about to arrive on the island.

Her brother and sister-in-law's eldest daughter was eighteen this year, just an adult.

So, at the age of marriage, her brother and sister-in-law sent a letter asking her, this aunt, to help worry about finding a match for her eldest niece; if she could follow the army, that would be best.

If not, let the eldest niece help her take care of the children, bring her along for a year or two, and then return to the hometown to look for a match.

At least broaden her horizons; with her aunt, they felt more at ease.

In this day and age, as long as an aunt wasn't sharp-tongued or bullied by her maiden family as a blood bag, she would almost never refuse to help her maiden family.

A "younger brother demon"—that kind was indeed hateful, but Wang Mingkui was clearly relatively calm and wise.

When she was a girl, she was famous for being sharp-tongued, and her sister-in-law was gentle and kind, so there was no conflict between aunt and sister-in-law.

Later, when she was transplanting rice in the brigade, she took a fancy to her husband, who was disguised as a scorekeeper; chasing a man as a woman was like separating by a layer of gauze.

After they got married, she learned his true identity, then followed the army to the Sea Island, and her husband arranged a leisurely job for her; she worked hard, gave birth to two sons, and stood firm in her husband's family...

Over the years, she and her brother and sister-in-law still had frequent correspondence, and every time, her brother and sister-in-law reported only the good news and not the bad.

During this period, her father passed away, and she went back once; not only her mother but also the villagers said her brother and sister-in-law were good and filial, letting her father leave the world without regrets in his final moments...

She, Wang Mingkui, was not a stingy person. Her brother and sister-in-law had supported her parents in their hometown all these years, and she kept it in her heart. Now that they were asking for her help, she naturally had no choice but to take on the responsibility.

Regarding this, Political Commissar Ji had no opinion.

When he helped his own brothers and sisters, his wife never stopped him; she supported him, at most grumbling a little.

Now that someone from his wife's family was coming, he would silently support her too.

Just like that, Wang Mingkui took time in the evening to go to the younger brother's house to talk about this matter.

After Shen Man heard the ins and outs, she naturally agreed readily.

Not only that, after Wangjie left, she didn't go to take a bath but went to the kitchen to get busy, making a batch of baked goods.

Although she was covered in sweat, the hard work was worth it.

"Meow."

Tangyuan's tail was grabbed; looking back, it was the little master who had grabbed it.

"Iyayaya."

Xiao Nuomi grabbed the thing and was about to stuff it into her mouth.

It was Elder Lu who was quick-witted and hurriedly coaxed the little one to let go of Tangyuan's tail.

If Tangyuan hadn't been raised by his granddaughter and been a house cat, if it had been a wild cat, it would have scratched someone long ago!

"You can't grab Tangyuan's tail; Tangyuan will be in pain."

"Iyayaya."

Xiao Nuomi let go of her palm, but she didn't understand what her great-grandfather meant.

It wasn't until her mother came over and gently patted her little hands twice that she seemed to realize she had done something bad...

"Meow."

Master, I'm not in pain. I'm an artifact spirit and have no sense of pain. The little master didn't mean it; please don't scold the little master, okay?

Tangyuan pleaded, squatting at the master's feet and rubbing its head against the master's calf.

Elder Lu, who couldn't understand cat language, could somewhat understand Tangyuan's meaning at this moment.

Was Tangyuan pleading?

Good heavens, the cat raised by his granddaughter has really become a spirit!

Xiao Nuomi finally realized she had done something wrong and obediently lowered her head, not daring to look into her mother's eyes.

Her little mouth puckered, wanting to cry.

"Manman, the child is still young and doesn't know any better. Why don't we wait until she's a little older to reason with her?"

Elder Lu wasn't taking sides; it was mainly that a baby only a few months old really couldn't understand if you reasoned with her.

"Mm, Grandfather, if you see the child grabbing Tangyuan, you must stop her. Tangyuan is a cat that has won a third-class merit; apart from not being able to speak, it is actually very human-like."

Shen Man was educating her daughter for the first time and couldn't bear to be too harsh.

Just as Grandfather said, the child was still young, only a few months old, and couldn't understand.

However, she wouldn't let it go. Precisely because she was young, she needed to regulate her behavior more. Next time, next time, before she made a mistake, she would have some impression and regulate her own behavior, right?

Shen Man wasn't sure either; she was a mother for the first time, and she really wasn't familiar with educating children.

Ask Grandfather?

Looking at Grandfather's doting look, it was hopeless.

"Hey, I will. Don't worry. Our Tangyuan is so smart, it will definitely be able to dodge next time!"

Elder Lu saw pleading and anxiety on Tangyuan's face.

It was truly a good cat. He would tell his old friends tomorrow to catch more fish and make them into dried fish to compensate the great hero!

"Meow."

Tangyuan gently shook its tail, indicating it didn't matter.

It was an artifact spirit; unless the master encountered danger and shared some of the pain with it, no one could hurt it at all.

It was just a tail; it wasn't in pain.

Shen Man patiently guided her daughter, doing the action of "don't," that the cat would be in pain and cry. She didn't know if her daughter could understand, but in any case, she had to find a way to eradicate it from the root. ===== CHAPTER 276 =====
