Chapter 1038: A Different Kind of Father-in-Law (3)
Hearing Little Green say this, Myna Xiao Mo became restless and began to squawk loudly, obviously trying to rebut Little Green’s words. Alas, it lacked the talent for mimicry and couldn’t speak, so after a long while of shouting, Mo Qingze, their owner, indicated that he hadn’t understood a word of bird language.
However, as a fair and just owner, Mo Qingze treated both birds the same and understood their personalities. He didn’t take Little Green’s word as the whole truth.
Little Green had a history of past offenses, taking advantage of its ability to speak human language to often twist the truth. After being deceived twice, Mo Qingze only believed half of what it said. This time, he believed that they were fighting over a toy, and that Little Green had dropped the toy into the water, but he didn’t believe Little Mo was entirely to blame.
And furthermore...
"I’ve told you many times not to just take other people’s things in the street, why don’t you listen?" Mo Qingze, with a stern face, unleashed a barrage of reprimands at the two birds, "The street vendors all have small businesses. If you steal something from them, they might end up losing money and going hungry. How could you be so mischievous?"
Little Green and Little Mo drooped their heads sullenly, not daring to look at their angry owner. In fact, they knew they shouldn’t randomly take human possessions, but when they saw something fun, they couldn’t control their claws. After being caught and rebuked by their owner each time, they wished they could chop off their claws and turn over a new leaf. However, that was just too cruel; they couldn’t do it!
Seeing the two birds quietly closing their beaks, Mo Qingze nodded in satisfaction, not feeling at all annoyed by these two incorrigible creatures. He extended his finger and tapped the parrot’s green head, still with a severe expression, "Little Green, tell the truth."
