Chapter 2005: Puppy for Bones (12)
The Ruanlin Family came over from behind and, with a smile, explained, "This is Rou Rou’s mate. This litter had many puppies, a total of thirteen."
The meat seller uncle looked at Xiaoxue lying on the side, then at the row of little pups, and nodded repeatedly, "Good, good, really good, so many."
He couldn’t bear to move his eyes away.
After recovering from its daze, Rou Rou came over with its tail drooping, feeling inexplicably upset. It tried to force its way into the meat seller uncle’s line of sight, thinking it had successfully attracted his attention, but the meat seller uncle sidestepped it and took a few more steps forward, looking at the dozen puppies with eyes full of excitement.
The meat seller uncle didn’t hide his eagerness. Looking at the litter of puppies, he turned around and went outside to push his cart over, blatantly lying, "Auntie, this is the leftover meat from today. You see, with this weather, meat doesn’t keep well, so I brought it over. Please, could you cook it up for the little guys, make some broth, give them some nourishment? Look how skinny they are..."
"..." Ruanlin Family.
She glanced at the little puppies still yelping excitedly, their bodies trembling, then at the meat seller uncle, genuinely admiring his skill at lying.
However, she also felt troubled.
Helplessly she said, "Xiaoliu, Auntie knows what you mean, but I have no authority to give these puppies away..."
"I know, I know." The meat seller uncle immediately jumped in before Ruanlin Family could finish, "Certainly Rou Rou is the one making decisions here, right? I understand everything you said."
