79: The man who stole the prey was injured by the monkey.

Hu Ping grew angrier when her showing-off was overshadowed by someone else. But she didn't dare conflict with Xiao Niannian now. Xiao Niannian was currently viewed as an outstanding soldier by the Company Commander and the others, and if Hu Ping caused trouble, they wouldn't help her.

Xiao Niannian withdrew her gaze and slept for a while.

After hearing the noise, she immediately got up, put on her clothes and shoes, and went to the training ground.

After running another three kilometers, she went to listen to the broadcast.

Xiao Yueyue thought for two or three days but couldn't come up with a good plan. However, her parents called her twice more.

Before Xiao Yueyue could scheme against Xu Yang, she first saw Xu Yangs Mother.

"You are Xiao Yueyue?"

The middle-aged woman in front of her, wearing a woolen coat and leather shoes and sporting a finely permed hairstyle, was frowning as she scrutinized Xiao Yueyue.

"Hello, what would you like to buy?"

Although Xiao Yueyue was usually arrogant, she maintained an excellent attitude toward people who were well-dressed.

"I am Xu Yangs Mother."

Xu Yangs Mother had thought that her father-in-law and mother-in-law had chosen a high school student, a very pretty young girl, for her son. She hadn't expected the Xiao Yueyue in front of her to be merely delicate-looking. When Xiao Yueyue looked at her, the look in her eyes immediately revealed that she was not simple-minded.

"Hello, Auntie."

Xiao Yueyue immediately bowed, feeling a little excited. This was her future mother-in-law.

Seeing Xiao Yueyue's fawning expression, Xu Yangs Mother felt even more displeased.

"I am not satisfied with you. How much money do you want to cancel this engagement?"

Xiao Yueyue hadn't expected Xu Yangs Mother to have the same attitude as Xu Yang the moment she arrived.

"Auntie, this engagement was set by my Grandma and Grandpa Xu's Grandparents. I am the junior, and I cannot make decisions about this matter."

Xiao Yueyue immediately resented Xu Yangs Mother. She was now a Sales Clerk at the Supply and Marketing Cooperative and dressed like a city person, so why did Xu Yangs Mother look down on her?

If they all looked down on her, she was determined to marry Xu Yang. Only by marrying Xu Yang could she become superior. Seeing the clothes Xu Yangs Mother wore and her style, she realized this was the best-dressed person she had seen at the Supply and Marketing Cooperative these days. If she married Xu Yang, she could dress like this too, and everyone would envy her.

Anyway, the Jade Pendant was in her hands, and she was the Granddaughter of her Grandma. Xu Yang's family shouldn't think about ruining this engagement.

"What do you mean you can't make decisions? Just state your terms. Someone like you is not worthy of our Xu Family. I will absolutely not agree to this engagement..."

They claimed to have saved their Old Master, but who knew what methods they had used to trick the Old Master and her mother-in-law into agreeing to this engagement.

Thinking of this, she disliked Xiao Yueyue even more.

"One thousand yuan, plus arranging a job for your family."

She stated the terms.

Hearing "one thousand yuan," Xiao Yueyue felt a little tempted. But the fact that Xu Yangs Mother could casually take out such a large sum of money showed that this money was nothing to the Xu Family. If she married Xu Yang, all that money would be hers.

"You misunderstood, we truly didn't save Grandpa Xu for money..."

Seeing Xiao Yueyue's slightly tempted expression and hearing her words of refusal, Xu Yangs Mother laughed mockingly.

"Stop pretending. I know exactly what you're thinking."

Xiao Niannian's eyes welled up with tears.

"Auntie, you really misunderstood me..."

Watching Xiao Yueyue's tearful appearance, Xu Yangs Mother grew even more displeased.

"That's all for today. You should think about it carefully."

Xu Yangs Mother walked straight out.

Xu Yang was surprised when he heard his mother had arrived.

"Mom."

Xu Yangs Mother looked at her son, her face full of smiles.

"You've lost weight." Xu Yangs Mother had also heard about her son's performance over the past year or two and was very happy. "Mom heard you've been doing very well..."

Xu Yangs Mother praised Xu Yang thoroughly.

After Xu Yang brought his mother into the Guesthouse, Xu Yangs Mother brought up the matter of Xiao Yueyue.

"Your Grandparents are truly muddle-headed. They even told me to come here and finalize your marriage... Your Grandparents were simply tricked by that Xiao Yueyue..."

Listening to his mother's words, Xu Yang said.

"Now, this engagement of mine is causing an uproar here. She even went to Jiaojiao, and now Jiaojiao's Superior has also spoken to Jiaojiao..."

Xu Yangs Mother also looked down on Wu Jiaojiao somewhat. However, Wu Jiaojiao's family background and job were much better than Xiao Yueyue's.

"She actually dared to cause trouble with Wu Jiaojiao? Truly an ill-mannered person raised in the countryside."

Xu Yangs Mother valued rules the most. For years, she had felt that her son was excellent and her husband held a good position. Among the neighbors in the Compound, whose daughter-in-law wasn't from the city, either a teacher or working at a good organization? Some were of equal standing. If her daughter-in-law was a country bumpkin, her reputation would be completely ruined.

Yet her father-in-law and mother-in-law said they used to be country people too, and that this girl from the countryside had excellent character. But she didn't feel her character was good at all.

"Don't worry about this matter. I've requested half a month of leave, and I will handle this properly."

Xu Yang nodded after hearing this.

"Grandparents also said that if I don't submit a report to marry, they will call our Commander..."

Xu Yangs Mother became even angrier after hearing this.

The Old Master and the Old Madam were truly muddle-headed.

Xu Yangs Mother knew that the Old Master and the Old Madam were capable of doing this. Although her son's Division Commander in the Division Headquarters was not the Old Master's subordinate, one of the Deputy Division Commanders was. If the Old Master gave an order and the report was submitted directly, Xu Yang would have no choice but to marry Xiao Yueyue.

Family Courtyard.

Many people woke up early and heard the cries of several people.

"Ah..."

"The monkeys on the back mountain are actually throwing stones at people."

"My hand was injured by that monkey."

"My head also took a hit."

Hearing these words, many people gathered around.

"The monkeys on the back mountain have always been very obedient."

"Oh dear, they are bleeding! Hurry and go to the Medical Team to get checked."

The injured people quickly went to the Medical Team.

Watching these people leave, someone spoke up.

"These past few days, they've always run to the back mountain early, and their houses smell of meat every day. Could it be that they were catching Wild Chicken and rabbits on the back mountain?"

"Stop talking nonsense. They don't look like people who can catch Wild Chicken and rabbits."

"I heard from my kid that they took the prey caught in the traps set by the brothers Wang Jiang and Wang He..."

"What? Something like that happened?"

When the brothers Wang Jiang and Wang He heard this news, they were extremely shocked. What their older sister said was actually true—those monkeys really did help them guard those traps, and these injured people were the ones who had been stealing their prey.

Older Sister is truly amazing.

These people were truly excessive. They didn't just steal once, but many times. They even claimed that the brothers monopolized the prey on the back mountain...
