The village chief was helpful, so she naturally wouldn't say anything more. After expressing her gratitude, she hugged her daughter and sat under the eaves of the house.
The Nut came back from playing outside, followed by two male dogs. Who knows where they came from—she couldn't remember anyone in the village owning a dog. People were struggling to survive, who would keep a dog? She kept one because she was a single woman and needed a guard. If she hadn't felt sorry for it back then, it might not have had the chance!
After looking, she sneered.
"Good thing I had you neutered early. Otherwise, after we went out for that week, wouldn't you have come back pregnant with a litter of pups for me?"
The Nut barked at her twice after hearing her tease, as if saying, 'You're single yourself, and yet you're dragging me into it too, that's too much!'
An Yi glared at it.
