Xiang Wan carefully stored the contract and headed upstairs, only to be blocked by Nianniian in the middle of the staircase.
The overweight cat lazily insisted on being held, leaving her no choice but to bend down with effort and pick up Nianniian: "You really have no idea how heavy you are, as heavy as a pig..."
Perhaps Nianniian understood her scolding, because the next morning, she was awakened by the cat stepping on her.
Nianniian was a Ragdoll cat, a breed that includes rather large felines, and over the years, Xiang Wan had nourished her meticulously, with her weight nearing forty pounds.
The nearly forty-pound fat cat suddenly pounced with such precision that it landed right on her waist.
She let out an 'ow' as she miserably discovered she couldn't get up; it felt as if her waist was broken.
Normally, Aunt Zhang would be attentive to any noises coming from her room. Today, however, despite her shrill cries, Aunt Zhang didn't seem to hear.
