270 Saving the Little Beggar
Niu Baishun said imperiously, "Nobody wants it? Hah, he actually said no one wants it! That fish was bought for my Liuniang's cat. How could no one want it?"
"I'm telling you, now you've made it so my cat has no fish to eat, and my Liuniang is unhappy. If she's unhappy, then I'm unhappy! So, what are you going to do about it?"
The beggar remained very polite, explaining calmly, "Sir, the cat isn't eating the fish, so it must be full. I thought since it fell on the ground and got dirty, it would be a waste to throw it away. Giving it to someone in need would be better."
"Humph! You smelly beggar," Niu Baishun rolled up his sleeves, saying angrily, "How dare you say I'm wasteful! I spent money to please my beauty; what's wasteful about that!"
"Let me tell you, today, even if I buy a pile of good food and the cat doesn't eat it, you still can't eat it! Even if I throw it away for fun, if I haven't told you to eat it, you can't pick it up and eat it!"
