38: I'm willing to give you some money to dissolve this marriage.

"Company Commander Xu, someone is looking for you at the guardhouse."

Hearing that someone was looking for him at the guardhouse, Xu Yang thought it was Wu Jiaojiao. He walked over with a smile on his face.

"Company Commander Xu."

When he saw the father and daughter, he frowned.

He didn't know this father and daughter.

"comrades, is there something I can help you with?"

Xiao Yueyue looked at Xu Yang. He was a head taller than her, dressed in a military uniform, looking very imposing. His serious expression made him seem more powerful than anyone she had ever met before.

This was her Fiancé.

Xiao Yueyue's face instantly flushed, and she looked at Xu Yang shyly.

Xu Yang watched the middle-aged man and the young Female Comrade sizing him up. One had a joyful expression, the other was shy. Who were they? Why were they looking for him?

"You are Xu Yang? You are the Company Commander?"

Second Uncle Xiao knew some of the positions in the Military Unit because his elder brother, Xiao Zhan, had been a soldier for more than ten years. This Xu Yang was so young, yet he was already a Company Commander. This was too good.

He would be the Company Commander's father-in-law in the future. As soon as he thought of this, Second Uncle Xiao felt that he could walk with his head held high in the commune. In the future, he could walk sideways in the surrounding ten li and eight villages.

"I am Xu Yang. May I ask what you two comrades need?"

Xu Yang had carefully observed them just now. He realized that he didn't know these two people. Why were they looking for him?

Could it be Jiaojiao's family?

But looking at their clothes and appearance, they didn't look like Jiaojiao's family.

"My surname is Xiao, and I am your father-in-law. This is my daughter, Yueyue, your Fiancée."

What?

The soldier next to him widened his eyes when he heard this. Didn't Company Commander Xu already have a partner, that Comrade Wu from the Cultural Troupe?

Xu Yang's expression changed slightly when he heard this, and he immediately said,

"comrade, I don't know you. Please don't talk nonsense."

Hearing Xu Yang say he was talking nonsense, Second Uncle Xiao became anxious.

"I'm not talking nonsense. I really am your father-in-law, and my daughter is your Fiancée."

Second Uncle Xiao pulled Xiao Yueyue in front of him and said loudly,

"This marriage was arranged by your Grandparents and my mother. Both sides exchanged tokens, this jade pendant, and a letter..."

What?

It was that family after all?

Xu Yang had been thinking of finding the Xiao Family in the past year or two to clarify things. He planned to give them a sum of money to resolve the matter.

"You two, follow me."

Xu Yang glanced at the soldier next to him and said to Second Uncle Xiao and Xiao Yueyue.

Xiao Yueyue looked at Xu Yang with a shy expression, already imagining how wonderful her life would be after marrying him. She heard that a Company Commander earned fifty or sixty yuan a month, she wondered if it was true.

If there really was that much money, it would be wonderful. She could buy anything she wanted in the future, without having to ask her parents for money or try every trick to get money from her Grandmother.

She wanted to work at the Supply and Marketing Cooperative. The work at the Supply and Marketing Cooperative was great; countless people flattered and fawned over you, and you could earn extra money. She heard that you could earn a lot of extra money in a year... Xiao Yueyue laughed happily.

Hearing Xiao Yueyue's inexplicable laughter, Xu Yang turned back and glanced at Xiao Yueyue.

"Little Xu, why did you call us over?"

Although Second Uncle Xiao wasn't very capable, he was quick to read expressions. Xu Yang's current expression showed he didn't want to acknowledge him and his daughter.

How could this be? If his daughter didn't marry Xu Yang, was he going to let that stinky adopted girl, Xiao Niannian, marry him instead? No one was allowed to steal this marriage.

"Little Xu, you wouldn't be thinking of not marrying my daughter, would you? This marriage was arranged by your Grandparents. If you break off the engagement, what face will my daughter have to live? I must find your leaders to preside over justice for us..."

Second Uncle Xiao knew how to manipulate people.

Xu Yang's face darkened when he heard this. He had never been threatened like this in his life.

Looking at this person surnamed Xiao, he was worse than the hooligans on the street. This Xiao Yueyue was so ordinary-looking, and the way she looked at him made him very displeased.

How could a Female Comrade be so shy at first sight? She had no self-respect.

This Female Comrade was too different from Jiaojiao.

He couldn't imagine what kind of life he would lead if he married Xiao Yueyue. If he brought her back to the capital, he would definitely be ridiculed by his peers in the compound.

Even without Jiaojiao, he wouldn't marry this Xiao Yueyue. The gap between them was too big.

"Uncle Xiao, this marriage was arranged by my Grandparents, but I never agreed. It's a new era now, and such old customs are unacceptable. So I will never marry your daughter..."

Xiao Yueyue's face turned pale when she heard this, and she looked at Xu Yang in disbelief.

"Comrade Xu, why won't you marry me? Who do you want to marry?"

Xiao Yueyue immediately became suspicious. Could it be that Comrade Xu already had a partner? And was going to marry that woman?

How could this be? The only person Xu Yang could marry was her.

Or had Xiao Niannian come over and taken her place in advance?

"Have you seen Xiao Niannian? Did you believe her words? She's a liar, I'm your Fiancée..." Xiao Yueyue became anxious, and her words started to become careless.

"She's a shameless woman..."

Xu Yang's face grew even darker when he heard this.

What was this Xiao Yueyue saying? Who was a liar, or a shameless woman?

How could she say such vulgar words?

"What nonsense are you talking about? It's impossible for me to marry you. I already have someone I want to marry. I am willing to give you a sum of money to annul this marriage."

What?

Money?

Hearing Xu Yang's words, Second Uncle Xiao's eyes lit up. Xu Yang was wearing a Plum Blossom brand watch on his wrist. These watches cost at least two hundred yuan, and expensive ones could cost several hundred yuan.

This indicated that Xu Yang's family was not ordinary.

Moreover, Xu Yang's salary was several tens of yuan a month. Wouldn't that be six or eight hundred yuan a year? Xu Yang must have been a soldier for several years, so he must have several thousand yuan?

Xiao Yueyue said angrily when she heard this.

"I don't want your money, you must marry me. If you don't marry me, I'll find your leaders and ask them to give me justice."

Hearing his daughter's words, Second Uncle Xiao nodded in satisfaction. His daughter was finally smart.

"Two hundred yuan."

Hearing two hundred yuan, Second Uncle Xiao blinked.

If their family hadn't lost their money, he wouldn't even care about two hundred yuan.

"Two hundred yuan, are you humiliating us like this?"

Hearing this, Xu Yang knew that two hundred yuan would not be enough to make them agree.

"Five hundred yuan."

Hearing five hundred yuan, Second Uncle Xiao was somewhat tempted, but only somewhat. He wouldn't agree to money that could be earned in a year.

Seeing five hundred yuan, the Xiao Family was still unwilling to annul the marriage.
