Chapter 688 - 337: Choosing Sides_1
Before Monkey Brother left, Pearl Kid also made a fuss about wanting to go. Yixiu of the Qian family didn’t agree; listening to the Old Monk’s advice, if anything happened to him, she would be in big trouble. Besides, Pearl Kid was so adorable that she couldn’t bear the thought of anything happening to him.
Pearl Kid cried his eyes out, and Yixiu had no choice but to promise him that she would find an excuse in the future to sneak into the clam shell, and they could venture into the deep mountains together. In fact, Yixiu was particularly looking forward to such a day, but it was impossible to realize now, as she couldn’t find an excuse to leave.
Only after speaking did she realize that Pearl Kid’s tears were making a sound as they hit the ground. She knelt down to look and saw they were actually pearls. She picked them up for a closer look, and though these white pearls were only the size of soybeans, they were round, plump, and crystal clear, truly beautiful. They were far prettier than the East Pearl, the South Pearl, and even more lustrous than the pearls from Cave Sky Pool. Of course, in terms of value, they still couldn’t compare to the big pearls from Cave Sky Pool. She greedily picked up the few pearls from the ground, counted them—eight in total. These eight pearls were worth at least over a thousand silver. Crying one bout brought him so much money, more profitable than a glass factory.
As she was rejoicing, Pearl Kid choked up and said, "Mom, do you love tears more than you love me?"
Yixiu hurriedly picked him up and kissed him twice, saying, "How could that be, Mom loves you the most." She looked down at Sister Squirrel nibbling at her trouser leg, picked her up, and added, "And you, Mom loves you too."
Monkey Brother stood aside with a curled lip. The older Monkey Brother got, the manlier he became, and he extremely disliked seeing Yixiu’s affectionate displays with Pearl Kid, Sister Squirrel, Huanhuan, and Xixi. Too much hugging and kissing, it was truly nauseating.
Yixiu understood Monkey Brother all too well and saw what he was thinking. She said, "Don’t look down on us. Have you forgotten about you and Monkey Sister, you and her always smacking lips? Even more sickening. Oh, right, you’ve been married for so long, why haven’t you given me a monkey nephew yet?"
When Yixiu exposed this shortcoming, Monkey Brother got angry, his face turned red, and his eyes bulged.
Seeing that he was truly angry, Yixiu didn’t dare to continue. She quickly sent Pearl Kid and Sister Squirrel back into the Clam Shell House and opened the door to shoo Monkey Brother out.
