The old lady was also taken aback, "Zhao Cai?"
"Miao..." Zhao Cai elegantly walked in.
Xiao Shi looked at the cat with a hint of envy and asked the old lady, "Is this your family's cat?"
Grandma Lu felt relieved to finally have a topic to discuss. She nodded and said, "Yes, this is the cat that Ah Yu brought back. Later, when we left the county for a while, we left the cat with my daughter to take care of, but most of the time, it's here with us."
Xiao Shi stared at Zhao Cai and watched as it walked up to her. Then, unexpectedly, it lightly jumped onto the table next to her.
Grandma Lu frowned, "Zhao Cai, come down."
However, Zhao Cai, being pampered by everyone in the Lu family, felt quite important now. Not only did it not come down, but it also raised its chin and took a couple of steps on the table.
Grandma Lu , "...", look at you.
On the other hand, Xiao Shi's eyes lit up. She turned her head and asked the old lady with bright eyes, "Can I hold it?"
Xiao Shi loved cats very much, but her family didn't like them, so she couldn't keep one.
Now, seeing the plump and clean Zhao Cai with an owner, she couldn't help but feel tempted.
The old lady hesitated, "...Sure." After all, the other party was the county magistrate's wife, could she really refuse?
Without hesitation, Xiao Shi picked up Zhao Cai. But in the next moment, Zhao Cai's entire body bristled, and it started struggling vigorously.
Xiao Shi was startled, and Gu Mama, who was behind her, hurriedly said, "That's not how you hold it, miss. You need to grab it by the back of its neck."
Xiao Shi was half skeptical but still changed her hand position, grabbing the nape of the cat's neck.
However, Zhao Cai struggled even harder, and its meows sounded somewhat pitiful. Its four paws were flailing wildly.
The meowing was quite loud, and it caught the attention of Shu Yu and the others who were approaching the main hall. They quickened their steps.
Just as they reached the door, they saw Zhao Cai struggling in Xiao Shi's hands.
Grandma Lu in the main hall was taken aback, and Gu Mama's face turned pale, fearing that Zhao Cai's claws might scratch Xiao Shi's arm.
She quickly shouted, "Miss, let go quickly!"
Xiao Shi subconsciously released her grip, and Zhao Cai fell to the ground with a thud.
"Meow, meow!!" Xiao Songle, who saw this, anxiously cried out.
Shu You suddenly looked down at him. Did he... did he just speak? He really spoke?
She wanted to confirm it again, but Xiao Songle and Quan Quan had already stumbled inside and threw themselves onto Zhao Cai.
Xiao Shi was sitting in a chair, and the height wasn't that high, so even if Zhao Cai fell to the ground, it would be fine.
However, the adults knew that, but the children didn't.
Both Quan Quan and Xiao Songle looked at Zhao Cai as if it had passed away, crying desperately.
Not only did Quan Quan cry loudly, but even Xiao Songle was sobbing.
Shu Yu confirmed that she hadn't misheard this time—Xiao Songle had indeed spoken!
She couldn't help but look at the child with joy. It had been more than a month, and he finally uttered a sound.
Moreover, the two children were heartbroken, looking at Zhao Cai as if it had died. The scene was a bit comical.
Not only that, they also tried to pick up Zhao Cai.
However, Zhao Cai was so chubby that even Quan Quan, who was smaller, could only hold its upper half, while the lower half remained lying on the ground.
