Chapter 119 Taking Care of Stray Animals (Added 1 more for voting)
Xu Youyou looked puzzled.
Aunt Liu explained: "In order to pay off debts, the couple's house was sold. Now they live in the house that was owned by their parents' family more than ten years ago. However, her parents did not transfer the house to her. They only said that she would live in it until she passed away. I have never made a will for this matter before.”
"My eldest brother and sister-in-law have been arguing with her about this matter for more than ten years. She is afraid of trouble and gives thousands of dollars every year as rent. Now her eldest brother's grandson is getting married and is urging her to vacate the house. Let's talk about it. Go ahead and bully her because she has no children to support her.”
Xu Youyou couldn't help but sigh in her heart. This person's situation was so urgent. He didn't want the valuable newspaper at all costs. He didn't know whether to praise him for being highly conscious and principled, or saying that he was too stubborn.
Since this person has no children, Xu Youyou cannot provide her children with high-paying jobs.
"Aunt Liu, is your friend particularly good at taking care of kittens and puppies?" Xu Youyou asked.
Aunt Liu said: "She has no other hobbies, she just likes to raise these little guys. The little money she earns from doing odd jobs and picking up scraps every month is almost all spent on these little guys. She doesn't even eat bran-thick vegetables by herself. I’m willing to let the little ones go hungry.”
"She doesn't buy those kind of pet cats and dogs. She keeps all stray cats and dogs. She always says that the little guys are pitiful and have no home. She should take care of them as much as possible if she can."
Xu Youyou understood it well enough. She knew that even if she spent hundreds of thousands to buy this newspaper and forced the other party to accept the money, she was afraid that it would be spent on cats and dogs in the end.
"Aunt Liu, I also like cats and dogs very much, and I also want to give stray cats and dogs a home. But as you know, I usually stay in Shanghai and don't often stay in the capital, so I want to hire someone to help me. I think your friend is particularly suitable to take care of stray cats and dogs in the capital. I would like to ask her to work for me. What do you think?”
Aunt Liu understood what Xu Youyou meant and opened her eyes slightly: "Miss Xu, if you want to raise stray cats and dogs, you can raise them in Shanghai..."
Xu Youyou made up a story casually: "The capital is the land of Longxing. I am a businessman, so I am inevitably a bit superstitious. I always feel that doing charity in the capital may be more effective than other places and bring me better luck."< br>
Aunt Liu seemed to just want an excuse from Xu Youyou to persuade her friend. After receiving the excuse Xu Youyou made up, she didn't continue to ask further questions.
"I...I'll call her right now and tell her about it...I'll persuade her to agree!"
Xu Youyou smiled and said: "Aunt Liu, I plan to go there in person tomorrow to ask for help. I should be courteous to the corporal and show the proper attitude."
Xu Youyou respects the other party from the bottom of her heart, so she wants to visit him in person.
Aunt Liu felt Xu Youyou's sincerity and agreed repeatedly.
The next morning, Xu Youyou did not continue to wear casual clothes, but changed into more business clothes, and her hair was tied up solemnly, making her look dry and neat.
Mrs. Li lives not very far away, close to the airport and less than thirty miles away from Xu Youyou's hotel.
Although the trip had missed the eight-morning rush hour, it still took nearly an hour to reach Pi Village.
Although Pi Village is also located in Chaoyang District, people are surprised as soon as they enter.
After all, no one thought that there was such a place in the capital. It didn't look like the prosperity of a big city at all, but more like a small county town on the 18th line.
Ms. Li's home is in an old alley. The car cannot be driven in. Xu Fang stopped the car at the entrance of the alley. Xu Youyou was accompanied by Aunt Liu, and four bodyguards behind her were carrying some health products and high-end pet snacks. , walking slowly towards the depths of the alley.
Xu Youyou's four bodyguards are all wearing black suits. They are all tall and look quite intimidating.
The neighbors in the alley craned their necks to look out at the excitement. "Whose relative is this? He looks so wealthy!"
"It looks like I'm going to Mrs. Li's house."
"It's impossible. Mrs. Li just collects the rags. Who would come to her when she has nothing to do?"
"I'm looking for Mrs. Li! I've seen that woman before, and she was here yesterday. Mrs. Li didn't go out to pick up trash yesterday. The two old ladies had a great time chatting together."
There are no secrets in the alley, and the neighbors can guess Xu Youyou's destination in just a few words.
Old Mrs. Li lives in the smallest yard at the end of the alley. Aunt Liu told her in advance last night about Xu Youyou's visit. Old Mrs. Li heard the knock on the door and trotted to open the door.
"Hello Aunt Li, I'm Xu Youyou, excuse me." Xu Youyou greeted Mrs. Li like a junior.
When Old Mrs. Li saw her, she immediately smiled cordially: "Miss Xu, your presence here really makes my humble house shine. I'm not afraid of your jokes. I haven't had any new friends in this yard for several years." ”
Xu Youyou also laughed. Old Mrs. Li was exactly as she had imagined. She was gentle and loving, but also extremely tough and spoke very well. At this time, the old lady's silver hair was tied up. Although her clothes were old, they were not very good at all. Not dirty.
It's just that Mrs. Li and Aunt Liu are obviously the same age, and neither of them has stopped working, but time has not favored her. She looks at least ten years older than Aunt Liu.

Her yard is the same as Aunt Liu said. In addition to the neatly stacked waste products, there are cats and puppies basking in the sun everywhere. They are all ordinary breeds. Some are limping when walking, and even Some of them were missing their eyes, but without exception, these cats and dogs all looked relaxed, and they were obviously well cared for by Mrs. Li.
Guaiguai also called out a few times next to Xu Youyou: "Shocker, I like this old lady, she has a warm smell!"
Xu Youyou touched Guaiguai's furry head. Sure enough, animals have a clear mind and are better at distinguishing good from bad than adults.
"Ms. Xu, last night A Ping called me and told me about you. It's just a newspaper. I didn't notice that it was valuable. I missed it myself. You don't have to hire me because of this. I'm old. , I'm afraid it will delay your business." Mrs. Li took the initiative.
Xu Youyou shook her head: "Auntie, I want to do something good, but you just happen to be the most suitable candidate. Don't think too much about it, don't feel pressured by it."
The doubts in Mrs. Li's mind were obviously not something that Xu Youyou could dispel with a few words. The old lady had never asked for help in her life, and now she would not violate her principles of life just because she was about to live on the street.
Xu Youyou continued to persuade: "Aunt Li, if I don't hire you, I will hire someone else. I want to give stray cats and dogs a home. If I hire someone else, I'm afraid of meeting someone with a dark heart who will abuse cats and dogs and accumulate good fortune." If you don’t succeed, you will commit sin.”
Mrs. Li has loved small animals all her life, and she really became worried when she heard this.
Xu Youyou patted Guaiguai's head and said: "This little guy is the stray dog I picked up. He originally had a family, but the nanny who took care of him abused him. The little guy ran all the way from Suzhou to Shanghai. I don't know. Even though he has suffered so much, I am afraid that other cats and dogs will suffer the same thing again.”
When Mrs. Li heard this, she immediately stopped refusing: "Ms. Xu, I will take over this matter, but you don't have to pay me any salary, as long as food and accommodation are included."
Xu Youyou couldn't let her work for free.
But suddenly a high-pitched voice came from outside the door: "No wages? Who doesn't give wages? I don't agree with letting my sister work for free!"
