Chapter 893: Chapter 893
On the second day, while Little Liufu was taking a nap, Xiaoxiao and Yang Ming were in the kitchen preparing dry food for their escape.
Mostly pastries, fermented pancakes, and fried crispy beans for the vegetables. Though everything was dry, it was at least something to eat. If it got too dry, they would drink water. Survive one day at a time, and buy things when they reach the town.
While the two were busy in the kitchen, the annoying voice sounded again, "Oh dear, what delicious food are you making, beautiful one? I smelled it from outside."
Xiaoxiao had grown immune to this person’s way of talking, anyway, they would part ways and say goodbye at night.
"Wife, this big fly is relentless, can’t chase it away. How about we make him go hungry tonight?"
"Husband, that’s a good suggestion, our family isn’t in need of that one or two pieces of Silver."
Actually, if this stranger didn’t add the word "beautiful", his speech might be acceptable. But adding "beautiful" made it sound frivolous, giving the impression he wasn’t a good person.
Moreover, Yang Ming had warned him, yet he continued calling her that indiscriminately, so there was no other way. In Xiaoxiao and Yang Ming’s house, he could only receive this kind of treatment.
Upon hearing he wouldn’t get dinner, the man pretended to be pitiful, "Oh dear, beautiful one, you’re burning bridges after crossing, how could you bear to starve me?"
"..." Who cares whose son he is!
"Husband, let’s settle it . Since we’re not taking a piece of Silver, we’ll cook less for dinner."
Yang Ming and Xiaoxiao continued to ignore the stranger.
The stranger had to take out one piece of Silver and place it on the table, "Beautiful one, I’ve given the Silver, tonight you must feed me."
After saying this, he left the kitchen reluctantly.
After the stranger left, Xiaoxiao burst into laughter in the kitchen.
After two days together, she discovered that although the stranger’s behavior was bizarre and annoying, he had a foodie nature.
To deal with him, just mention food, and it works. Nᴇw ɴovel chaptᴇrs are published on 𝔫𝔬𝔳𝔢𝔩•𝗳𝗂𝗋𝖾•𝕟𝕖𝕥
If food wasn’t mentioned, he would be endlessly noisy, always calling out "beautiful one", mentioning anything else wouldn’t work.
While Xiaoxiao was laughing, she heard Yang Ming speak, "Wife, I still want to beat him."
"..." Xiaoxiao looked up at Yang Ming, what’s wrong with him again?
Yang Ming’s face had a hint of displeasure; his wife was being called beautiful, and he couldn’t do anything, which hurt his manly pride.
He spoke unhappily, "Though verbal attacks are nice, he keeps teasing you by calling ’beautiful one’, I can’t stand it."
"..." He was actually jealous.
Xiaoxiao advised, "Husband, bear it a little longer. Don’t draw villagers’ attention; tonight we’ll all part ways."
Yang Ming had to endure it. If he wasn’t afraid of attracting villagers and affecting their escape tonight, he’d want to give that guy a good beating, even if he couldn’t win, he would have fought. With things as they were, he felt utterly frustrated.
Seeing Yang Ming’s impatience, Xiaoxiao quickly pulled Yang Ming’s hand, "Husband, stop being jealous. For the sake of our family of three, bear it."
"Mm." Yang Ming nodded, swallowing this frustration forcefully.
His wife’s words were like an Imperial Decree to him; he listened to her.
They continued making pancakes in the kitchen, and the smell of the crispy beans wafted out.
"Husband, have a bite."
Just then, Little Shitou hurried into the kitchen from outside.
Xiaoxiao and Yang Ming looked over.
Did he get into a fight again? Why did he return all dusty and gray?
