"No, why do you ask that? What happened to our dad?"
"Ah, no, our community has not been peaceful recently. I'm afraid that my father and mother are not safe at home. When I was running in the morning, I heard the security guard of our community say... A lot of pet dogs and cats have been lost in the community recently." Bella was afraid. Zhixin was suspicious, so he changed the conversation to pets.
"Oh... isn't that normal? The dogs in our community are all famous dogs, and the cats are all high-quality cats worth several thousand dollars. It's normal for thieves to care about them."
"But no matter how powerful the thief is, he can't steal so much, and he disappeared very strangely... He couldn't even catch it on the surveillance video."
Bella always felt that something was wrong about this matter, and wanted to speak out and analyze it with Zhixin.
Unfortunately, Zhixin thought this matter was normal, and the couple did not talk about it at all.
"Thieves are very powerful. Of course they will pay attention to the surveillance video. Maybe it was the security guards who stole it. Fortunately, we don't have dogs at home."
Zhixin's words reminded Bella.
Bella had an idea, walked quickly to the office, searched for a store online, and made a call to a pet store.
"Send me one of the smartest dogs in your store. Yes, send it to my work."
When they got off work, Bella and Zhixin drove home with a little golden retriever.
As soon as the dog entered the door, he barked fiercely, and he barked at Jingde.
It was the kind of abnormal and excited barking that frightened Yang Meili into hiding.
"Hey, what's wrong with you two? Where did you get such a big dog?"
"Mom, I bought this. It's cute. I'll name it Xiaoba." Bella squatted down and touched the golden retriever's head.
Zhixin smiled fondly. "Mom, my wife has recently become obsessed with pets. We have watched a movie called "Hachiko" before. The dog there is an Akita and is very loyal to its owner. Bella was so moved that she has been planning to buy a dog for a long time. The dog is back and our house is lively this time.”
"I don't object to raising dogs, but you have to be obedient. When you have a baby, you can no longer keep dogs, or you can raise them for me... you move out."
"Mom, if we don't move away, we will stay here eating and drinking for the rest of our lives."
Zhixin shamelessly hugged his mother's shoulders.
Then he looked at Uncle Jing's face, which looked not very good.
"Dad, look, he's handsome. He's a little male dog. He's very cute. The golden retriever is very smart." Zhixin pointed at the little golden retriever and smiled.
Jingde took two steps back with a guilty conscience.
"It's very pretty, as long as you like it."
Bella did not let go of this subtle change in Jingde. The little golden retriever didn't know whether it was because she was new to Jingde or something.
After entering the door, he kept shouting non-stop, especially when directed at Jingde, he was particularly fierce.
Jingde seemed to notice this, so he tried to stay away from the puppy and avoid it.
"My dad doesn't seem to like dogs very much?"
Seeing Jingde enter the study, Bella asked her mother-in-law in a low voice.
Yang Meimei said with a smile while knitting a sweater, "He used to like it very much. At that time, someone gave him a big stupid dog. He kept it as a treasure. Later, it was stolen by a dog dealer. He was sad for a while. Maybe It’s because of this incident that he will no longer keep dogs. Your father actually seems to be quiet and introverted, but he is honest and kind to everyone.”
"Yeah, it's pretty good." Bella smiled perfunctorily.
She really almost wanted to tell her mother-in-law that such a seemingly honest person was not your previous husband.
After dinner, while Bella was out walking in her cotton clothes, she heard shocking news in the community.
Many neighbors gathered around and talked.
Bella leaned forward and asked, "What's wrong? Neighbors, what happened?"
"Those missing cats and dogs have been found," a woman said.
"Where?" Bella's heart moved.
