Qian Yijin, upon hearing this, hugged Old woman Qian and pleaded, “Great-grandma, my mother is not well, could she have given birth to my sister and me so well? Please stop scolding my mother. It really hurts Jinwa to hear you scolding her.”
Qian Sangui also advised, “Mom, don’t say that. There’s always a way to solve these problems. If all else fails, we can have Yixiu ask Old Lady Zhang…”
In fact, he wanted to say that he was ready to stake his life on going to the County Government Office to lodge a complaint, but thinking of his daughter’s reputation, he swallowed these words. The Xu family was cunning enough to know that Qian Sangui wouldn’t dare make a fuss for his daughter’s reputation.
They were too distressed to think about making dinner, so Lady Wu went to the kitchen and made a pot of pork slice and white radish noodle soup. After eating, Old woman Qian was sent back by Qian Yijin. Before leaving, Qian Sangui repeatedly instructed the old lady not to speak of this matter to anyone; it must be kept secret, or Auntie Xia’s reputation would be ruined.
Old woman Qian sighed, “I’m not a fool; how could I speak of such things? I wouldn’t even tell your elder brother.”
Qian Yixiu, Cheng Yue, and Monkey Brother had their meal in the left wing. Holding Monkey Brother in her arms, she whispered instructions to him this way and that.
Seeing that Old woman Qian had left, she held Monkey Brother and went to the main room to discuss her plan.
Qian Sangui glanced at Monkey Brother and asked hesitantly, “Can Monkey Brother really take care of this matter?”
Qian Yixiu was all too aware of the Fierce Red Monkey’s abilities, not to mention that Monkey Brother was the Old Monkey King’s son and had inherited his formidable genetic traits. Although its combat power was still lacking, such “child’s play” was not too daunting for it. She nodded and said, “Father, rest assured, it is very capable. It’s just young now, but it will be even more powerful when it grows up.”
Lady Wu, having seen Monkey Brother’s abilities, said to Qian Manxia with tears of excitement, “Auntie Xia, this plan is good. Monkey Brother will surely succeed.”
To Monkey Brother, who was still trying to wrestle free from her grip, Qian Yixiu said, “If you do this well, my auntie will steam chicken egg custard for you to eat every day.”
Monkey Brother’s eyes lit up, and he looked at Qian Manxia, who nodded with red-swollen eyes. He rotated his large eyes, continuing to set his terms. First, he tugged at Qian Yixiu’s clothes with his hand and then scratched his red fur, screeching twice.
Understanding its gesture, Qian Yixiu said, “As long as you succeed, my auntie will make you two sets of nice new clothes right away, and my mother will embroider some beautiful flowers on them.”
Seeing Qian Manxia and Cheng Yue nodding, Monkey Brother sinisterly bared his teeth in a smile.
When Qian Yijin came back and heard the plan, he too smiled with joy.
Qian Yixiu thought that Jinwa’s bellyband would have been cleaned by now, which would have complicated things, but now, hearing that Jinwa had not yet washed it when it was stolen made things much simpler.
Qian Yixiu asked Jinwa to hold Monkey Brother close so he could smell her scent. In fact, the Little monkey was already very familiar with Qian Manxia’s scent, but to be absolutely sure, Qian Yixiu insisted on letting it sniff her once more.
Embarrassed, Qian Manxia blushed and let out a “yah,” tossing the monkey onto the ground.
Qian Yixiu was also furious, grabbing Monkey Brother’s ear and giving it a whirl.
Monkey Brother, missing his mother, didn’t understand why Jinwa and his mistress had suddenly turned on him. He sat crying on the ground, tears flowing like tap water, utterly heartbroken.
Only then did Qian Yixiu realize she had overthought it; the Little monkey was so young, it must have been thinking of its mother, not planning mischief. She quickly picked it up and stroked its white fur, saying, “I’m sorry, it was my mistake. Our Monkey Brother was thinking of his mother, not wanting to do anything bad…”
Little monkey cried on Qian Yixiu’s body for a while, and only after Qian Yixiu coaxed with kind words did it calm down.
Monkey Brother was heartbroken, he too was made of water.
The other members of the Qian family also blushed with embarrassment, at first all believing this little monkey to be a lecherous monkey, only to later realize it was actually missing its mother.
Qian Manxia said guiltily with a flushed face, “Monkey Brother, don’t be angry, I was overthinking it. I promise not to treat you that way again.”
After cheering up Monkey Brother, the group discussed their next steps.
Thinking of the deceased little master and the terribly wronged mother, Qian Yixiu saw an opportunity to gain some advantage and told Monkey Brother the location of the Fan Family Courtyard, instructing him with this plan and that.
At midnight, all was silent, and the stars twinkled faintly.
At the dilapidated house at the west end of Huaxi Village, suddenly a sliver of the gate opened, and a small red shadow darted out, speeding eastward.
Although this small shadow couldn’t travel eighteen thousand miles in one somersault like Monkey Sun, its speed was extremely fast, and its movements remarkably agile. In the blink of an eye, it had entered Huaxi Village.
It stood on the village’s golden road segment, thinking. It didn’t go directly to the Fan Family Courtyard to the east as its young master had requested, but instead turned right toward the house of the woman who had called it a monster.
Arriving at the bottom of the courtyard wall, it looked around, then leaped onto the wall. With a push of its legs, it jumped onto a tree, swung, and then leapt onto the roof, its movement so light even the dogs didn’t hear.
With another flip, it squeezed through the half-open window into the room…
When it emerged, it had a green midriff garment hanging from its body. Then, it continued eastward and, following its little master’s directions, found the Fan Family Courtyard. It climbed the courtyard wall, and once again sneaked into a small room…
When it came out, it had yet another midriff garment, this one apricot yellow.
Monkey Brother continued eastward and, upon leaving the village, took the two midriff garments off its neck. It sniffed them, preferred the fragrance of the green one, and tossed it into the bushes. The yellow one smelled worse, so it pinched its nose in disgust and tossed it onto the dirt road.
It continued its eastward run, arriving at Darong Village, sniffing to find the direction as it walked. Following that familiar scent, it reached the outside of a large courtyard. It climbed over the courtyard wall, then climbed down the other side, arriving at a half-open window. The familiar scent wafted out of the little window, but strange roaring sounds were coming from inside.
Forgive the little monkey for its naivety, but it didn’t recognize that the strange roaring noises were actually snoring sounds.
It climbed through the window, and starlight faintly illuminated the room. It saw a fat, dark figure like a gigantic river pebble lying face up on the big bed, “shouting” with his mouth wide open. However, his eyes were closed, so he was probably asleep.

Monkey Brother was puzzled. How could this bad old man “talk” while asleep?
It sniffed again, and indeed, the familiar scent was coming from underneath the old man. It remembered its master saying that the midriff garment had been snatched by a young man, instructing it to look in the young man’s room. Why would it be under this old man? This wasn’t what the master had told it, was it?
It sniffed carefully again, and there was no mistake, the familiar scent was indeed coming from underneath this old man.
