Chapter Thirty-two: A Mouse's Mischief

  "Ah-choo!" Little Qian, wrapped up like a rice dumpling, let out another sneeze.

  I found another coat for her to put on, and with a sly smile, I said: "Look at you, in order to do less work, you've gotten yourself into this state, what's the point, what's the point?"

  Xiao Qian gave me a resentful look, sniffled and muttered under her breath: It's all because of you!

  I laughed and said: "Alright, let's just leave the task of cleaning the house to you then. Anyway, you're already sick, so it doesn't matter if you get infected again."

  Xiao Qian: You're a Huang Shiren, you're a Zhou Papi!

  "Look, I've even prepared the broom for you, go ahead and go." Pushing Xiaoxian into the house, I strolled leisurely around the courtyard. I walked to the outside of the courtyard and found that this courtyard still had a name "Jingzhu Garden..." It took me half a day's effort to make out these three words from the dusty plaque, and then I complained: "What Jingzhu Garden, I think it should be called Qingcao Garden!"

  "Xiao Qian, hurry up! Your movements are so slow!" I ran into the house.

  Taking a closer look around, it's actually quite large in scale, but the location is too remote, so it's been neglected.

  "Madam, apart from ordering people around, what else can you do?"

  "You'll be calling me again, Qianqian!" I laughed so hard my eyes narrowed to a slit. Xiao Qian ignored me and continued sweeping the floor, when suddenly she let out a loud shout: "Ah! A mouse!" She dropped her broom and jumped over to my side.

  I took a look and indeed it was - a large-sized old mouse was squeaking away.

  "Eh, Xiao Qian, what's going on? There's nothing to eat in Jingzhu Garden, how did it get so fat?"

  "Madam, do you still have the mood to ask this at a time like this?"

  It's just a mouse, is it worth it? I pushed away Xiaoxian who was pouncing on me like a koala bear, picked up the broom on the ground and swept the mouse away with a few strokes. Finally, I even gave Xiaoxian, whose face had turned pale, a flirtatious glance.

  But Xiaoxian obviously didn't buy it, and resentfully said to me: "If you want to clean, then clean! I'm never setting foot in this house again!" Having said that, she stamped her foot heavily and rushed out of the hall.

  What a nuisance you mice are! One of these days I'll get some rat poison and kill you all off!

  Huh, wait a minute, why can't I go now? Can't I just use the excuse of buying rat poison to leave the house openly and honestly? Right! I made up my mind, excitedly ran out of the room: "Qianqian, let's go buy rat poison!"

  "Madam, what did you buy rat poison for?"

  I grabbed Xiang's arm and said, "Of course it's the poisonous mouse!" Hehe, more importantly, with the mouse gone, Xiang has to go to work now! Haha, don't you think I'm clever?
