Taoist Master and the Cat - Chapter 20
Father Feng smiled, “They are Xiao Yu’s classmates, so consider this dried fish from us.”
Grandma Tao: “That can’t be done, otherwise I won’t buy any of it.”
The two talked about it, and finally Father Feng gave Grandma Tao a 20% discount, which was a discount for the first time shopping.
After saying their farewell, they walked toward the warm community.
In front of Grandma Tao, Xie Jingyuan didn’t say anything. When she got home, Grandma Tao started cooking. Xie Jingyuan looked at Su Miaomiao who was sitting on the carpet eating dried fish with a serious face, and said, “A little snack is enough. You are so greedy. If a stranger lures you into a car with dried fish, will you follow him?”
After chewing the dried fish, Su Miaomiao said, “I’m not that stupid. Mom and dad said that I can’t go with strangers.”
She was just a three-year-old child with no strength. Su Miaomiao always kept her parents’ instructions on safety in her mind.
According to her, people in that world could even build airplanes, so the means of abducting children must be more varied than in ancient times.
While talking, Su Miaomiao ate the five small dried fish.
Su Miaomiao licked her lips and looked at Xie Jingyuan, “Master, you don’t like fish, can you give me your bag of dried fish?”
“This kind of snack can only be eaten once a week.”
Su Miaomiao was very aware of his uncompromising temper, curled her lips, and muttered in a low voice, “If you don’t give it to me, I’ll ask my parents to buy it for me.”
“Buy it. If you eat too much of it, your teeth will rot, then uncle and aunt will take you to the hospital for injections and tooth extraction.”
Su Miaomiao: …
Xie Jingyuan: “Go rinse your mouth first, you smell fishy.”
Su Miaomiao was a clean cat, as long as Xie Jingyuan showed such a disgusted expression, she would obediently clean up.
When she came back after rinsing her mouth, she saw Xie Jingyuan staring out of the window again.
“Master, what are you thinking?” Su Miaomiao was quite curious.
Xie Jingyuan glanced at her and said, “I’m thinking about how to make money. Grandma is getting old, we can’t always spend her money.”
As for the pocket money given to him by Xie Rong, he handed it all over to Grandma Tao.
He didn’t have any extra expenses at the moment, but Su Miaomiao was greedy. She was greedy for dried fish, and next day she may be greedy for other snacks, so as to prevent her from developing a bad habit of stealing, Xie Jingyuan felt that he needed to save some money to deal with her occasional needs.
He had arrested Su Miaomiao and taken her to the temple before, so she was reincarnated with him. Xie Jingyuan had the responsibility to take care of the cat and not give her a chance to cause harm to the world.
“Is grandma out of money? It doesn’t matter, my parents have money. I can ask them for it.”
Su Miaomiao had no sense of money worries.
As a cat, she was also very good at observing her surroundings. With Su Mingan and Tang Shiwei’s financial situation, it was no problem to support her for a lifetime.
Xie Jingyuan looked at her meaningfully, “Parents have the responsibility to raise you until the age of eighteen. After the age of eighteen, you have to learn to be self-reliant.”
Su Miaomiao was ignorant.
Xie Jingyuan went a little deeper, “Study hard, get admitted to a good university, and it will be easier to find a good job with a high salary after graduation.”
Su Miaomiao understood the meaning of work.
Couples like Su Mingan and Tang Shiwei had to go to work almost every day, stuck in one place, and couldn’t go home as they pleased.
Su Miaomiao lay down, rubbed Xie Jingyuan’s leg with the top of her head like a cat, faced him on her back and said, “I don’t want to work. When my parents don’t support me, you support me, okay?”
Su Miaomiao, who hadn’t fully understood the world’s ways of life, really believed that her parents would abandon her after turning eighteen years old.
After all, she was a wild cat without parents in her previous life.
If the cultivation base was still there, Su Miaomiao could be self-reliant, but that cultivation base was gone, and she didn’t want to eat dirty mice. Su Miaomiao wanted to return to the way of life in Qingxu Temple, and let Xie Jingyuan continue to provide her with food and daily needs.
Xie Jingyuan looked indifferent, “I can raise a cat, but you are a human being now, and as a human being, you must learn to support yourself.”
Su Miaomiao sighed in disappointment.
After all, being a cat was more comfortable than being a human.
Evening was the time for Su Miaomiao to be with her parents.
Tang Shiwei sensitively noticed that her daughter looked at them in a wrong way, as if she felt a little wronged.
“What’s the matter Miaomiao, is someone bullying you in kindergarten?” Tang Shiwei gave Su Mingan a look and asked gently.
Su Mingan didn’t care about it on the surface, but he actually raised his ears. If someone dared to bully his daughter, he would definitely vent his anger on his daughter’s behalf.
Su Miaomiao’s face was full of sadness as she said, “When I am eighteen, will you both not want me?”
The way cat parents stopped raising kittens was to drive them away and then disappear.
Tang Shiwei: “How can that be? Miaomiao, you are our daughter, so we have to be with you.”
Su Mingan: “That’s right, Miao Miao tell me, who told you this?”
Su Miaomiao: “Brother, he said that you will only support me until I am eighteen, and then I will have to be self-reliant.”
Tang Shiwei smiled, “Brother means, Miaomiao will be an adult at the age of eighteen. You can make some decisions on your own, and you can work and earn money after graduation, just like your parents.”
Su Miaomiao blinked and confirmed, “Then, if I’m not good and don’t want to work, will you both continue to support me?”
Su Mingan didn’t think about it, he said, “Of course, Dad will work hard to earn a lot of money, and it will be fine to raise Miao Miao for several lifetimes.”
Tang Shiwei coughed. Even though it was true, they also wanted to encourage their daughter to make progress. Could it be that they really expected their daughter to accomplish nothing?
Su Mingan understood what his wife meant, and quickly changed his words.
But Su Miaomiao already understood that in this life, she no longer had to worry about being abandoned by her parents.
The Taoist said so because he didn’t have a mother, and his father was with another woman, so he prepared to be self-reliant early.
What a pity.
