Seeing the two kids playing with firecrackers with the cat, the old lady thought it was a good thing that it all happened in their own yard, only known to the family. If others had seen it, especially the gossipy types, it probably would have caused some trouble.
In the village, it was one thing for these animals to be smart, but being too clever was not necessarily a good thing.
Afterwards, the old lady mentioned it to Mr. Jiao, who then called both kids and Zheng Tan over to talk to them sternly.
They had their fun with the firecrackers, and that was enough. Zheng Tan didn't need to keep playing with them, he should be more restrained.
"Hey, Dad, isn't the dog having stomach issues?"
Mr. Jiao pointed to the pile under the grape vine in the corner of the yard.
"Stomach issues?" Old Sir Jiao walked over to take a look, "Indeed."
