Chapter 259 (1/2)
The blind woman listened to her son and hesitated a little. A cat is worth a car and maybe a house in the future! But she still didn't call the cat out from under the bed. She only said to her son at dinner, ”if you have a cat, let me keep it here.”
The son wiped the oil left by the roast duck on his mouth, smiled and said, ”it's not easy to find a cat now, otherwise it wouldn't be so valuable!” then he sandwiched a large piece of pig head meat to his mother, ”Mom, you eat, eat!”
The blind woman was absent-minded, wondering whether to tell her son about picking up a stray cat. Looking at her son's courteous appearance, even if she knew it was hypocrisy, she enjoyed it very much.
The son dug out the duck brain from the duck head with chopsticks, dipped some sauce into the old lady's bowl and said, ”Mom, eat this, this brain tonic.”
The blind woman smiled and ate the duck brain into her mouth. The duck's brain was soft in her mouth, and her heart softened.
”Is a cat really worth a car?” she stood up and went to the bed in the inner room. ”Will it be worth a suite in the future?”
The son looked at her with a smile and said, ”of course it's true.”
The blind woman put her hand on the sheet and suddenly remembered the poor look of the cat. Her heart and hands shook together.
My son still looked at me with a smile. He's not in a hurry. Anyway, he doesn't have to take the cat away today. He has made up his mind to endure until the price rises. It's the so-called rare goods to live in. Now there are fewer and fewer cats, they will be more and more refined and expensive. If all the cats in the world die, he will be left. Oh, no, he's the only one here. It's not that he can have as much money as he wants!
His only worry was that the old lady wouldn't give it to him, and he couldn't take it back. It was inconvenient and wouldn't raise it. He waited for the old lady to say it on her own initiative. As long as she said she had a cat, the cat would be his.
The blind woman was still hesitating and picked up half of the sheets in her hand. At this time, the door lock clattered, and then with a bang, someone opened the door and came in.
The blind woman quickly put down the sheets and went back to the living room. It was her daughter.
The daughter came in angrily. When she saw her brother, she scolded, ”you really can do it. You came without saying a word. Is there anything like you?” she looked at the table, ”Oh, I bought so many dishes and wanted to bribe the old lady. There's no way!”
”Who bribed? Who bribed! Shouldn't I buy something to eat for my mother?” the younger brother argued, ”look at you. What are you doing as soon as you come in?”
The elder sister ignored her younger brother and walked through the living room to the room. High heels beat on the floor and made a thump. She almost bumped into her mother coming out. She was stunned, shouted ”Mom” and passed by the old lady.
”Hey, what are you doing?” the blind woman pulled her without holding her.
The son was worried and rushed in with a shout from the old lady: ”what are you doing?”
The daughter ignored it, walked around the room and went to lift the moving sheet just put down by the old lady. She lifted up the sheet and put it on the bed. She bent down and looked at it. After a while, she would reach out to touch the shoe box inside.
”What are you doing?” when the younger brother stretched out his hand and pulled out his sister, ”I really don't take my mother as my mother?”
The elder sister angrily asked, ”where is the cat? Where is it hidden?”
The younger brother said, ”didn't you share the money for killing the cat? What else are you looking for?”
My sister said, ”don't think I don't know. Why are you here today? If the property owner hadn't told me, I'd still be in the dark! Mom has another cat, hasn't she? Don't try to hide it from me. The cat was given to you last time, and this time it belongs to me!”
”Why!”
”Why? Because I'm my mother's daughter, I'm the first heir to the inheritance like you. My mother will be gone in the future, and half of the house will be mine. You can't eat it alone!”
”You are the first in line successor, but have you fulfilled your maintenance obligations? The law stipulates that children who fail to fulfill their maintenance obligations cannot inherit the inheritance. You have married out and want to take advantage of it. Go to your mother-in-law.”
”Oh, tell me the law! Say I didn't fulfill my maintenance obligations. Did you? You gamble every day. If you don't lose all your money at home, will mom go to pick up garbage to live?”
