1406 Impromptu Speech (1/2)
When Zhang Zian's parents opened for business today, a golden cat and a tea-colored cat walked into the store one after another. The latter was somewhat understated but the former was simply arrogant and jumped to the cat climbing frame. It may have disliked that ashes or the hair of other cats were on the climbing frame, so it pulled a paper towel and wiped down the cat's climbing frame before casually throwing it aside.
His parents saw that there were no bells or nameplates on the necks of the two cats. They first thought that they were stray cats, but upon closer inspection saw that they weren't. The two cats were very clean and had no odor or dirt on it. The tea-colored cat was an authentic raccoon cat, but they couldn't recognize the golden cat because they haven't seen it before. However, they have seen many pure breed cats The difference between a pure breed cat and a mixed cat was observable, and this golden cat looked like it was from some rare cat species.
Maybe someone else's cat ran here?
The old couple had run their pet shop for many years but never encountered such a situation. It was time to close the store and their guests have left, but they didn't close just yet. Firstly, their son has not returned yet. Secondly, they didn't know how to deal with the two cats. Should they have posted a lost-cat-found poster at the door?
They were discussing their next course of action when Zhang Zian came back carrying a cat, a birdcage, and ... on his shoulder... isn't that a monkey?
”Zhang Zian, you... you... went to the dog market?” The old couple was so stunned they couldn't talk properly.
”Oh! Why did you buy the monkey back? We can't raise it! It's illegal! Hurry and go back to return it!” The father hurriedly took his outer coat. He wanted to head back to the dog market before it closed and make Zhang Zian return the monkey immediately.
They heard that the management of the dog market wasn't standardized. Some vendors who wanted to make quick money took advantage of the buyer's information. With a gibbed tongue, they could persuade customers to buy some pets that weren't allowed to be sold in the country. An example of this was leopard cats being sold under the guise of other types of pet cats. They also peddled rare birds and thumb monkeys. When trouble occurred, they would move. They wouldn't stay at the dog market long enough to get caught.
They probably thought that Zhang Zian went to the dog market and was fooled by the unscrupulous traders into buying a monkey. They didn't know what was in the birdcage, but they assumed it was a rare bird as well.
”No, don't worry about it. I met a couple who were putting monkey shows on the road. Their monkeys are undocumented, so I reported them,” Zhang Zian took out his mobile phone and showed some photos he took of the monkey couple being seized by the Forestry Bureau.
The old couple understood, but they felt relieved and worried at the same time. They were relieved because their son was not deceived but also worried because what he did was dangerous. If others found out, what would he have to do to retaliate?
However, the son's approach was correct and couldn't be scolded for doing the right thing.
”As for this little monkey, it was from the monkeys in the chaos that I met. It is already late, and the Forestry Bureau should have gotten off work. I'll send it to them tomorrow morning.”
”There is also this gray parrot, which will be sent there together tomorrow morning,” He put down the birdcage, picked up the black cloth covering the birdcage, then went to the door to pull the shutter door down.
”Was this gray parrot... also raised by the couple who have monkeys?” The old couple felt incredulous. They have never heard of monkey shows having parrots. After all, this wasn't the circus.
Stunned by the light, the gray parrot turned his black eyes and looked at the old couple, flapping its wings and shouting: ”Hey! Hey! Look! The stylistic monkey, two flowers blossoms!”
The old couple's doubts were suddenly dispelled. This parrot was definitely raised by the couple and attracted business by talking rubbish!
