"Such a rich person," Fang Yue muttered as she placed the 10,000 yuan into the drawer. She asked Pei Sisi what she had bought, wondering why she had given so much money. When she found out that Pei Sisi had spent 10,000 yuan and only bought 100 steamed buns, Fang Yue was dumbfounded. She called Pei Datou and Pei Daniu over, carefully patted them a few times, muttering, "Their value is really high."

"What are you muttering about? What do you mean, high value? Datou and Daniu just happened to run into a rich owner. Don't keep talking to them like that, you're scaring them," Fang Yi said, pulling Pei Datou and Pei Daniu behind him. Fang Yue's actions had been so strange that, as expected, it had scared them.

"Hey, brother, take Pei Datou and Pei Daniu around the store and see what else they like. Just give it all to Pei Sisi. Don't bother with the prices, she definitely won't give you less money," Fang Yue suggested from the side.

"You're thinking too much. We don't really need that little bit from her. Go play your game, don't scare them anymore." Although it was true that they could get a lot of money from Pei Sisi this way, Fang Yi felt like it was pointless.

The animals in the store were living well—they had a place to stay, food to eat, and toys to play with. That was enough. They didn't need so much money.

"Alright, I was just saying," Fang Yue mumbled as she returned to continue playing her game. Finding a rich person who was willing to pay was so tempting, but she couldn't really take advantage of it.

The next morning, after breakfast, Fang Yi noticed Old Hu was sunbathing in the backyard. Old Hu was Xiao Yuan's uncle, and he was holding a cat in his arms. Xiao Yuan sat beside him, also holding a cat, but unlike Old Hu, Xiao Yuan had a long line of animals in front of him.

"Xiao Yuan, is it fun?" Fang Yi asked, walking over to his side.

"Not fun," Xiao Yuan said as he placed a cat into Fang Yi's arms, asking him to scratch it. While doing so, he said, "I've been out all day, and nobody helped them scratch them. They must be really anxious. I have to scratch them now; I'll never leave them again. I feel so bad for them." Xiao Yuan said, feeling guilty.

Since Xiao Yuan came to the store, he had spoiled the cats and dogs with their strange habits. Many of the cats and dogs couldn't go a day without being scratched, and they would only let Xiao Yuan do it. Fang Yi had mentioned it a few times, but Xiao Yuan just ignored him.

"Why do you help them scratch?" Fang Yi had asked this question a long time ago, and Xiao Yuan had said that scratching the animals made them feel good.

"They don't have hands, so scratching themselves is really inconvenient. I scratch for them, and they feel really good," Xiao Yuan answered as usual. Fang Yi nodded after hearing that. Xiao Yuan was thoughtful, so it wasn't too bad.

Seeing all the cats and dogs lined up in the yard, Little Bandit bounced over, holding a carrot and watching from the side. It kept munching on the carrot, the "crunch crunch" sound never stopped.

"Little Bandit, come here," Fang Yi called, summoning Little Bandit to his side and rubbing its head. Little Bandit seemed to enjoy it, stretching its neck and letting Fang Yi rub it. After Fang Yi left, Little Bandit tilted its head to look at Xiao Yuan, then ran to the back of the line to join the others.

Fang Yi went to his usual spot, only to find it was covered with mice...

D**d mice of all sorts—some rotten, some fresh, some half-rotten. It made Fang Yi frown. He called Naima over to ask what was going on.

Naima ran over, sniffed around, and communicated with the other animals nearby. After a while, he made some sounds that seemed to be trying to tell Fang Yi which cat had brought the mice. But Fang Yi didn't understand. Noticing this, Naima circled around Fang Yi a few times, then ran to the wall and called loudly. Soon, a cat appeared on top of the wall.

"Yo, Naima," a big red bird swooped down from the sky, landing on Naima's head. Not far away, a gray parrot was perched on a branch.

The cat walked slowly up to Fang Yi, carrying a live mouse in its mouth. When it got to him, the cat moved its mouth slightly, and a few drops of blood dripped from the corner of its mouth, making the mouse instantly still.

The cat placed the still mouse on Fang Yi's chair and then looked up at him.

"Da Fei, translate for me, what does it want?" This wild cat hadn't had much contact with Fang Yi. It rarely came into the yard for cat food and only stayed in Fang Yi's room during pregnancy. Most of the food it ate came from Naima. Fang Yi didn't think he had a good enough relationship with this cat for it to bring him a mouse.

"Gah gah gah, beg me, beg me, beg me," Da Fei flew to Fang Yi's shoulder and said loudly.

"Naima." Da Fei was still as cheeky as ever. Fang Yi didn't know where it had learned these lines from. He called out for Naima, who immediately barked a few times at Da Fei. Da Fei responded with some bird language, and Naima, clearly displeased, barked back. After a while, Da Fei backed down, its voice lowering, and it flew to Naima's head, calling out to the wild cat.

The wild cat meowed a few times in reply, even reaching out with its paw to swipe at Da Fei. Da Fei immediately flew onto Fang Yi, shouting loudly, "Bullying me, bullying me, bullying me."

"Bad cat, bad cat, bad cat." Gufei also flew down from the tree and stood on Fang Yi's other shoulder, clearly wanting to avenge Da Fei.

"First, tell me what it wants to do?" Fang Yi brought Da Fei in front of him.

"Mouse, mouse, mouse," Da Fei screeched, then tilted its head and thought for a moment, continuing, "Give to the kids, give to the kids, give to the kids."

"I understand. You can go now." Hearing Da Fei mention the kids, Fang Yi immediately realized that the wild cat was likely thinking about its kittens. The mice were for its little ones to eat.

"Bad person, bad person, bad person." Da Fei was very displeased with Fang Yi's attitude of using it and then discarding it. It circled in the air and shouted a few more times before flying off, leaving with Guifei.

"Sigh, I should call Tian Yanming over quickly. These mice..." Fang Yi grimaced and walked off, deciding he didn't need that chair anymore.

When Fang Yi called Tian Yanming, Tian Yanming was drinking tea with someone. After hearing that the mother cat missed her kittens, he said he would bring them over right away. But even though Fang Yi had already prepared the steamed buns, Tian Yanming still hadn't shown up.
