Chapter 229: Chapter 230 A Monkey's Gratitude1

Xiaobai, having been held by Ma Xiulian for a while, ceased its whiny cries.

Instead, it stared at her with wide, glistening eyes, filled with curiosity. Its soft, harmless gaze melted the hearts of anyone who saw it.

Moreover, it lay on its paws and exposed its round little belly. It was pitiful and adorable all at the same time.

Thus, Ma Xiulian set it on her lap, her voice softening, "It's rare to see such a chubby puppy, it's like the pet dogs kept by landlords in the past."

After she spoke, she glanced at the monkey munching on an apple in the corner and couldn't help but exclaim, "It's really surprising that monkeys can keep dogs! As I get older, I encounter more and more strange things."

With her eyes half-closed, Helian Qiao listened to her grandmother constantly calling Xiaobai a "pup", while she herself nodded off sleepily.
