Chapter 116 Misunderstanding
Granny Song looked at Xiao Nuan and breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that she was no longer on guard or afraid of her. "Do you remember when I came to give you a red envelope during Chinese New Year this year? You were so scared."

Xiao Nuan nodded. When a stranger gave her a large red envelope for no reason, her first reaction was not happiness but fear.

In particular, Aunt Wang, who lived at the entrance of the alley, after learning that Grandma Song sent milk, eggs and other things to Xiao Nuan, she kept telling Xiao Nuan that Grandma Song had an unprofessional son and asked Xiao Nuan to be wary of Grandma Song, saying that these things were petty gains that Grandma Song wanted to curry favor with Xiao Nuan.

Grandma Song made a big noise when she gave Xiao Nuan a red envelope. After Aunt Wang saw it, she secretly whispered to Xiao Nuan that this was Grandma Song's betrothal gift to reserve Xiao Nuan, and accepting it would mean that Xiao Nuan was willing to marry her son. This scared Xiao Nuan.

Her disgust and fear of Granny Song also reached its peak.

Later, there was a sudden rainstorm and Xiao Nuan didn’t bring an umbrella. Grandma Song passed by and gave the umbrella in her hand to Xiao Nuan.

Xiao Nuan refused directly and seriously asked Grandma Song not to bother her again, otherwise she would call the police.

"Grandma Song, you gave me a red envelope because of the oranges?"

Granny Song nodded. "One day at the end of last year, I had an asthma attack and couldn't breathe. I was saved because I asked Orange to get the medicine and help me bring it to me."

Xiao Nuan was shocked by this memory, and then she realized that Aunt Wang was deliberately trying to discredit Grandma Song in front of her: "Grandma Song, do you have any grudges with Aunt Wang?"

After Xiao Nuan told Aunt Wang about her actions, Grandma Song sighed.

"Wang Ju from the alley actually said that? I guess she got caught stealing the cabbages growing in front of my house three years ago and she's holding a grudge against me."

"After she found out that my son had been tricked into going to Southeast Asia, she was so happy that she would talk about my son with the neighbors every day after dinner."

"She said I gave birth to an evil child, that I was being punished for my past life's evil deeds, and that her son was very promising, studying for a master's degree in computer science in the US, and that the country was begging her son to return."

Xiao Nuan didn't expect that there was such a big misunderstanding between her and Grandma Song, and she regretted believing Aunt Wang's words.

"Your kitten is so nice. He cares about me more than my own family does."

Granny Song rambled on and on about all the happiness the kitten had brought her: "After my asthma attack subsided, Juzi paid extra attention to me. Sometimes when I drifted off to sleep, Juzi would jump to the head of my bed and use his paws to feel my breath, worried that I might have fainted."

"When I sleep, I sometimes forget to put my phone next to my pillow. It will help me carry my phone to the bedside, so that if anything unexpected happens, I can get the phone and call the emergency number."

"It even tucks me in by holding the corner of the quilt in its mouth."

As Granny Song spoke, tears of emotion fell from her eyes: "I raised my son until he was 23 years old, and he never did anything like this once."

Grandma Song's son has been uneducated since childhood. After dropping out of junior high school, he spent all his time hanging out outside. Every time he came home, he would ask for money from home. If he didn't get the money, he would resort to violence. Three years ago, he stole Grandma Song's bank card, cash and jewelry, and never returned home since then. There has been no news of him since then.

Grandma Song asked around and heard from others that her son had gone to Southeast Asia with his friends to make a lot of money. She knew that her son might never come back.

"Since you refuse to accept gifts, I can only repay Orange by making delicious food for him in various ways."

Speaking of delicious food, Xiao Nuan explained her purpose to Grandma Song.

When Grandma Song heard that a cat gaining weight would have various negative effects on its body, her expression suddenly became full of self-blame.

She quickly apologized to Xiao Nuan: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I was so ignorant. I didn't know that obesity is much more dangerous for cats than for humans." "I saw that Ju Zi wasn't full, and I heard that a lot of cat food is toxic. I'm an old person and I don't know how to choose and buy it online. I thought cooking my own food is the healthiest, so I fed Ju Zi."

"I was so happy to see it eating its delicious meals every day. I never thought that its good intentions would lead to bad consequences."

As Grandma Song spoke, she hurried to the dressing table, found an old-fashioned box, and took out a jade bracelet wrapped in velvet.

Granny Song stuffed the jade bracelet into Xiao Nuan's hand and said, "I'm sorry for causing you trouble!"

"This bracelet is my compensation for Juzi's medical expenses. Take her to the hospital for a checkup and see what the doctor says about treatment."

"No, no, this is my fault. I was careless in raising the cat, causing Orange to not eat enough and go out to look for food at night."

Xiao Nuan repeatedly shook her head and refused: "I haven't paid you, mother-in-law, for the cost of feeding and taking care of Orange yet."

With Grandma Song's secret care, Orange has no other problems except being fat. His fur is smooth and does not shed. It is trimmed neatly regularly at home. Although he does not secrete much, there are no tear marks at the corners of his eyes.

I have to say that the elderly are really good at taking care of children.

Xiao Nuan took the initiative to hold Granny Song's hand: "Granny Song, as long as you are responsible for helping me and Juzi lose weight together, that's all!"

"From now on, I'll be at work during the day, so the task of supervising Orange's weight loss will be handed over to you~"

"I want to leave Orange at your place during the day. Is that possible? I'll pay the fees every month."

Granny Song quickly shook her head: "No, no, I can see oranges during the day, which is enough for me. You are such a good person, girl!"

Xiao Nuan said righteously, "How can this be? You've taken such good care of Orange, I don't know how to thank you enough."

Granny Song thought for a moment and said, "Xiao Nuan, if you really want to thank me, buy some vegetables and bring them to me every day after get off work. I'll cook dinner for you. Buy more vegetables and make a lunch box for you to take to the company at noon. Seeing you eat takeout every day is not going to work."

When Xiao Nuan heard this, tears flashed in her eyes. Grandma Song's request was actually for her own good.

Every day when she gets home from get off work, she just wants to lie down and doesn't want to cook at all. The money she spends on takeout every month is a big part of her living expenses. How good Grandma Song's cooking skills are can be seen from the level of cat food she makes.

Xiao Nuan replied softly with a trembling voice: "Okay."

She had heard from Aunt Wang how poorly Grandma Song lived, eating only meat twice a week, so she had to buy meat and vegetables every day!

Let the thin Grandma Song gain weight!

"Juzi and I will be with you from now on."

Xu Ying sighed, moved by the story between the man and the cat: "Grandma Song must have felt as satisfied and happy watching Orange eat as she did watching her own granddaughter eat."

She noticed from the corner of her eye that outside the control room door, five fennec fox cubs were already leaning against the door, secretly watching her.
