Chapter 872: Chapter 874: Swatting Flies
Yang Ming held back a laugh, indeed his wife had a way to handle people. This was more satisfying than directly using force; it seemed he needed to learn from his wife in this regard.
With one hand holding the child and the other waving in the air pretending to swat at flies, he said, "There’s really a big, stinky fly buzzing around. Honey, let’s go, let’s get away from this fly."
With that, the family of three swaggered past the man without even glancing at him, heading to the kitchen.
Seeing the family walk away, the man behind slightly curled his lips into an inexplicable smile, murmuring, "Interesting, truly interesting."
To think they compared him to a fly, no one had ever treated him like this before. It seemed this journey wouldn’t be too boring. He followed them eagerly and, upon entering the kitchen, greeted with a smile, "Beauty, I’m here to help you."
Seeing this person come in, Xiaoxiao was speechless. This guy really had some nerve. She picked up a fire poker from the kitchen and shot a look at Yang Ming, "Hubby, this fly really won’t go away. Do you think I should use this fire poker to chase it out?"
Yang Ming chimed in with agreement, "Honey, don’t strain your back with such a task. Let me do the fly-swatting. You hold the baby and go back to the room so the fly won’t disgust you."
"No need, honey, just watch how I deal with this fly." Xiaoxiao said and swung the fire poker toward the man, without holding back, hitting him if he deserved it.
"Ouch, beauty, you’re really hitting me?" the man yelled while dodging.
Xiaoxiao continued to swing the poker, saying, "Hubby, this fly is still buzzing annoyingly. Just watch me smack it dead."
Xiaoxiao really wasn’t pulling any punches; you could hear the hitting sound of the poker striking the ground, echoing sharply.
If it hit the body, it would surely hurt a lot. Seeing his wife having such a good time, Yang Ming couldn’t stop her, so he continued to chime in, "Honey, take it easy. Killing a fly is minor, don’t strain your back."
"Relax, hubby, I can’t handle a mere stinking fly?" Xiaoxiao kept swinging the poker.
The man kept retreating from Xiaoxiao’s strikes, saying while dodging, "Ouch, beauty, stop hitting, I’ll leave, okay?"
With that, he scampered off, not bothering to fake a limp anymore.
Seeing the man leave, Xiaoxiao put down the poker, not feeling happy for driving him away, but worriedly said, "Hubby, what should we do about this person tomorrow night?"
Living under the same roof, they couldn’t hide their every move from this person. Everyone was in the same predicament, yet they didn’t know what this person planned. Was he waiting for his men to rescue him? But they had no one for rescue; they could only find ways to escape.
His wife’s question was exactly what he worried about. This person’s behavior was too bizarre, and he was at a loss about what to do, "Honey, let’s see how things are tomorrow."
Clearly, they were in the same situation, yet this person kept pretending, making Yang Ming feel he was dangerous. If possible, it was best not to get involved with him.
Xiaoxiao thought about it and had to agree, "Hubby, take the child to the courtyard, it’s smoky here. I’ll finish up cooking soon."
