Chapter 102 Die together
Jiang Songchu dressed very casually today, wearing an apricot-colored flared-sleeve woolen top with camel-colored cashmere wide-leg pants, exuding a lazy and comfortable vibe.
She carefully put on a hat, sunglasses, and a mask, greeted her family, and then gently picked up Mo Bao and set off for the pet hospital.
In order to better communicate with the calligraphy, Jiang Songchu specially redeemed a one-day-limited "Pampered Love Pill" in advance.
She gently stroked Mo Bao's chin and said softly, "Mo Bao, today we're taking you to get your third vaccination. It might feel a little uncomfortable, but you have to be brave!"
Mo Bao understood Jiang Songchu's words. It meowed comfortably and replied in its childish voice, "Chu Chu, I know! I feel weak all over after every vaccination, but I will recover quickly, don't worry."
As Jiang Songchu walked along the road, feeling the warmth of the calligraphy in her arms, her heart was filled with tenderness.
However, the weather didn't seem to be cooperating today. The sky was overcast with no sunshine, and the temperature had dropped. She couldn't help but hold the inkstone tighter in her arms, afraid that it would catch a cold.
Soon, they arrived at the pet hospital. The nurse warmly guided Jiang Songchu to Mo Bao's "personal doctor"—Dr. Hao.
However, as soon as they reached the door of the consultation room, they heard a heated argument coming from inside.
A man's angry voice rang out: "Four or five thousand yuan for a cat's vet visit? What is this if not a rip-off!" The man was clearly extremely dissatisfied with the price and felt that he had been cheated.
Dr. Hao's voice was calm and professional: "Sir, I have already explained that the cat's condition is urgent and requires surgery and hospitalization for observation. If you feel the price is not right, I also suggest that you take it to another hospital immediately."
The man was clearly enraged and yelled, "Do you think I can't afford this? You look down on me, don't you...?"
At this moment, a woman's voice tried to dissuade them: "Don't say anything more, saving Mimi is the priority. Just stay here and get treatment. This is already considered a relatively reputable pet hospital."
However, the man's voice was even more rude, and he retorted to the woman without any mercy: "What nonsense are you talking about! Four or five thousand yuan! Do you think it's just a few dollars!"
"I told you not to raise it! Now it's in trouble and I have to spend money on treatment! Do you think my money grows on trees?"
The woman's voice was tinged with helplessness and grievance, and she choked up slightly: "But Mimi is also like this because of you..."
Before she could finish speaking, the man rudely interrupted her: "What does this have to do with me? It's all because it's stupid and doesn't know how to read the room that this happened!"
Arguments rose and fell in the examination room, and the nurses looked somewhat embarrassed.
Jiang Songchu stood quietly at the door, her heart filled with mixed emotions.
She patted Mo Bao's back reassuringly, not wanting him to be frightened.
Mo Bao's little face puffed up with anger as it grumbled indignantly, "Chu Chu, do you know what? That man inside is just too much!"
Mo Bao waved her little paws in the air, as if she wanted to personally teach that nasty fellow a lesson.
"Mimi said that she saw that the woman was not at home and there was no food in her bowl. She was very uncomfortable because she had been hungry all day and wanted someone to feed her some food."
"As a result, the man was furious because he lost the game and was in a bad mood."
"Mimi had just walked up to his computer desk and cautiously meowed, when he kicked her away hard."
Mo Bao's voice carried a hint of fear, clearly showing his deep sorrow over Mimi's ordeal.
"Mimi crashed into the sofa leg, and the damage was terrible... It has several fractures and serious internal injuries. Its condition is extremely critical and it needs immediate treatment, otherwise the consequences could be unimaginable!"
Jiang Songchu's face grew increasingly gloomy as Mo Bao narrated, her eyes filled with anger and dissatisfaction.
She simply couldn't believe that there were such cruel people in the world who would take their anger out on small animals!
She couldn't listen anymore, so she pushed the door open and stared sharply at the man and woman inside.
Jiang Songchu shouted, "Are you going to save Mimi or not? If not, I'll save her!"
The woman was not old, looking to be around twenty years old. She still had a somewhat childish face and a youthful appearance, as if she were still a student.
However, she lacked any youthful vitality and energy; her eyes revealed a lifelessness that was inconsistent with her age.
The man looked very slovenly, with greasy hair sticking out of his head in a mess, and wearing a dirty T-shirt and jeans that hadn't been washed in a long time and were slightly yellowed.
Jiang Songchu looked him over carefully, but she really couldn't tell his exact age.
Upon hearing Jiang Songchu's voice, the woman trembled slightly and stammered, "Save...of course we must save Mimi."
Her voice was filled with helplessness.
Upon hearing this, the man flew into a rage, his tone filled with coldness and ruthlessness.
"Save what?! It's just a cat, if it dies, it dies! If you want to save it, you pay for it yourself, I don't have any money!"
She tried to explain, but the man's words were like a sharp knife, piercing her heart. At that moment, the woman's eyes were already brimming with tears.
"But all the money I earn from my part-time job is with you..."
"What nonsense are you spouting!" The man glared at the woman.
The woman finally couldn't hold back her tears and they streamed down her face. Her voice was choked with sobs, filled with resentment and grievance.
"After you graduated, you stayed at home all day, lazy and not working, while I was still in school. I was the one who worked part-time during my spare time to help support the family, and this is how you treat me!"
"How could you do this to me? Haven't I been good enough to you? How could you be so heartless? How could you become like this!"
The woman became increasingly agitated as she spoke, eventually breaking down completely. She loudly questioned the man, as if trying to vent all her pain and grievances.
The man looked at the woman's tears, but his face showed impatience mixed with a hint of disgust.
He yelled, "Do whatever you want! It's just a cat, keep it if you want! But let me make this clear, I'm not paying for it! If you want to pay for it, we're breaking up! It's not like I can't find someone better than you!"
The man's words were like a fire, completely igniting the woman's anger. Her eyes widened as if they were about to spew flames.
The next second, she suddenly grabbed the scissors from the table, lunged at the man, and shouted, "Die! I'll take you down with me!"
This scene startled everyone present.
Jiang Songchu reacted quickly and moved the calligraphy to a safe place so that it could hide.
Then she moved swiftly forward, trying to stop the woman's scissors.
