497: When did I ever try to take the manure scoop from you?

"It's been over twenty years. How have you and the two children been?"

"Thank you for your concern, comrade Yu. My Grandson and I are doing well."

"Division Commander Yu."

Xiao Hongjun and Xiao Weijun walked out and saluted Division Commander Yu.

"Good, good, good. These two children truly resemble Comrade Xiao." Division Commander Yu saw the brothers and thought of his good Comrade-in-arms, Xiao Zhan.

He happily patted their shoulders.

The onlookers at the courtyard entrance grew confused.

"Who are these two handsome young men? They look very familiar with Division Commander Yu."

"Who is this middle-aged woman wearing a military uniform? Could she be a leader from the Military Unit?"

"Could she be the wife of a leader?"

"Judging by her presence, she must not be an ordinary person."

Mother Xiao looked at her daughter and spoke softly.

"Niannian, come over."

Xiao Niannian changed into cotton clothes and walked out.

"Hello, Commander."

Xiao Niannian saluted Division Commander Yu.

Looking at Xiao Niannian, Division Commander Yu smiled and returned the military salute.

"Tell me, what exactly happened here?"

"She was swearing and cursing, and when she saw me fertilizing the vegetables here, she tried to snatch the manure scoop. So, I gave her what she wanted."

How could Xiao Niannian twist throwing manure on someone into claiming the other person tried to snatch it?

"You're full of nonsense! When did I try to snatch your manure scoop?"

Xiao Yueyue roared in anger.

"Move away, you stink too much. Don't fumigate us." Xiao Niannian said, preparing to pick up the manure scoop again.

"Ugh."

Xiao Yueyue had already developed a conditioned reflex. Moreover, she still carried a stench. Even though she quickly took a shower and changed clothes earlier, smelling the foul odor in the courtyard terrified her.

"You clearly hit me and threw manure on me."

"Then tell me, why would I hit you and throw manure on you?"

"You..."

"You're jealous of me."

Xiao Yueyue dared not mention the family affairs or her marriage to Xu Yang. She could only use this excuse.

"Commander, look at Xiao Niannian, acting so arrogant even right in front of you..."

Xiao Yueyue knew that Xiao Niannian was protected by so many people now. To deal with Xiao Niannian, she could only rely on Division Commander Yu for help.

Originally, she had gone to find the leader of the Logistics Department, but she happened to hear someone say Division Commander Yu had arrived, so she immediately sought him out.

After Division Commander Yu saw her and heard what Xiao Yueyue said, he immediately had a female soldier take her for a shower.

Xiao Niannian looked at Xiao Yueyue's appearance and started laughing.

Division Commander Yu saw Xiao Niannian's smile and knew that the child Niannian understood his meaning.

Why does this child, who is otherwise fine, like playing with manure?

The smell in this courtyard was indeed suffocating.

Xiao Niannian saw Division Commander Yu roll his eyes at her, and the smile on her lips widened.

How come she hadn't noticed that Division Commander Yu had such a playful side?

Division Commander Yu glanced at the Head of Logistics Department next to him. Director Yang understood the Commander's intention and immediately spoke up to mediate.

"Comrade Xiao Yueyue, it seems this matter is a misunderstanding. The weather is so cold now, and the Commander has other things to attend to. Let's just drop this..."

"That's right, Comrade Xiao Yueyue, you are dressed so lightly. You should hurry back and rest."

The others also chimed in agreement.

Xiao Yueyue looked at them in shock. What did they mean?

She filed a complaint, yet they weren't punishing Xiao Niannian; instead, they were trying to drive her out of the Family Courtyard?

"Commander, your meeting time is approaching."

As Division Commander Yu looked at his watch, his Guard immediately spoke up.

"Alright."

After Xiao Yueyue froze for a few seconds, realizing they genuinely didn't take her seriously, she panicked.

"Commander."

Division Commander Yu walked toward the outside of the courtyard without stopping.

Xiao Yueyue shouted again.

"Commander."

The surrounding family members started discussing among themselves when they saw Xiao Yueyue's state.

"This Xiao Yueyue doesn't seem to be someone from our Family Courtyard, does she?"

"She really isn't. Why does she always run over to our Family Courtyard?"

"She seems to be from another Regiment."

"She was talking about this and that, and I didn't see any injuries on her face, but I heard the foul language she was using just now. Comrade Xiao has a good temper; if it were me, I would definitely scratch her face..."

Xiao Yueyue stomped her foot in anger and looked at Xiao Niannian.

"Xiao Niannian, just what kind of despicable methods did you use... You slut..."

"Slap."

Xiao Yueyue's face was slapped sideways. She glared angrily at the person who hit her.

It was Xu Yang.

She became even more furious.

"Xu Yang, what is the meaning of this? Xiao Niannian bullied me, and you slap me? Have you always been unable to forget Niannian..."

"Shut up."

Xu Yang angrily covered Xiao Yueyue's mouth. He hadn't expected Xiao Yueyue to dare spout nonsense in front of so many people.

"You won't let me speak, are you feeling guilty..."

"Are you crazy? Come with me..."

Xiao Niannian spoke up.

"Xu Yang."

Hearing Xiao Niannian's words, Xu Yang immediately stopped and looked at Xiao Niannian.

After several months apart, Xiao Niannian's demeanor was even better than before. Thinking back to how Xiao Niannian had brutally trained him and stepped on him months ago, his expression kept changing.

"Keep Xiao Yueyue in check. If there's a next time, I'll beat you every time I see you."

Hearing Xiao Niannian's words, Xiao Yueyue said angrily.

"Stop using such methods to seduce..."

"Slap."

Xu Yang gave Xiao Yueyue another slap.

"You're hitting me while helping her?"

Tears welled up in Xiao Yueyue's eyes. She didn't understand why Xu Yang was helping Xiao Niannian. Clearly, Xu Yang had never even met Xiao Niannian before, and she was much prettier than Xiao Niannian; the villagers used to praise her.

"Didn't I tell you not to cause trouble for Comrade Xiao? Why didn't you listen? Since you are so incorrigible, let's get a divorce..."

He had initially thought that divorcing right after marriage would affect his future prospects, but Xiao Yueyue's repeated antics disgusted him. If this continued, his future would be even more severely impacted.

Xiao Yueyue's eyes widened when she heard this. She looked at Xu Yang in astonishment. He wanted to divorce her just because she caused trouble for Xiao Niannian?

She thought that after all these months, she had managed to warm his heart. Who knew he would still treat her like this?

She was nearly driven mad by jealousy, but if she opposed Xu Yang now, he would definitely try everything to divorce her. If she left Xu Yang, she wouldn't be able to enjoy the good life she had now.

"You must be Xu Yang?"

Xiao Hongjun and Xiao Weijun walked out.

Xu Yang looked at the two brothers suspiciously and replied.

"I am Xu Yang."

Hearing Xu Yang's words, Xiao Hongjun punched Xu Yang in the stomach.

Xu Yang let out a muffled groan, and Xiao Weijun also made a move.

Seeing the Xiao Family brothers hit her husband, Xiao Yueyue panicked.

"Who are you? Why are you hitting my husband..."

"Stop it."

Xu Yang was somewhat stunned from the beating. He didn't understand why these two people were hitting him.
