2469 Side Story; Nameless Nie 2
Nameless Nie guffawed and swung his fist, charging toward the woman. “The world is dangerous and human intentions are unpredictable! Let me teach you a lesson!”
However, a “plop” resounded and Nameless Nie tripped and crashed next to her feet.
The woman turned around and looked at Nameless Nie, baffled. “What did you say?”
Nameless Nie replied, “Oh… I missed my mom too much, so I was probably having hallucinations…”
“Who did you say you were teaching a lesson to?” The woman stared at Nameless Nie.
“Didn’t I come here to learn martial arts? Teach me a lesson then,” Nameless Nie said. ???e?e???ѵe?.c૦?
The woman instantly picked up Nameless Nie and strode toward the mansion up ahead.
…
“To be my student, you have to abide by three rules,” the woman said to Nameless Nie in the living room.
“Which three rules?” Nameless Nie asked curiously.
“First, from today onward, you’re responsible for the cleaning the house as well as buying groceries and cooking.”
“Second, from now on, you’ll do whatever I say without any objections.”
“Third, you’re now a member of our family and the only man in the house, so you must work and train harder so that you can at least protect us in the future.”
Nameless Nie sat on the sofa with one leg crossed over his knee and snorted when the woman finished speaking. “What do you mean I’m the only man? Is your husband dead? Are you a widow? Don’t even think about making me buy groceries, cook, and clean! I want to learn the monkey fists, so how about you give me a monkey show?”
Before the woman could respond, an apathetic girl walked downstairs from the second floor with a white dress.
“Mom… so noisy…” the girl softly said to the woman. Her gaze toward Nameless Nie was aloof but was mixed with a trace of curiosity.
“Who are you?” Nameless Nie asked the girl.
“You’re in my house. Why are you asking who I am?” the girl retorted calmly.
“Nameless Nie, she’s my daughter. In terms of family hierarchy, you should call her aunt,” the woman said.
“Aunt?” Nameless Nie stared at the girl. “Why should I call her aunt? Why isn’t she calling me Grandfather instead? If she calls me Grandfather, I’ll call her Aunt. If we address each other like this, then I can accept that.”
Before the woman could respond, a realization dawned on Nameless Nie. “She’s your daughter… Which means you really have a husband, but you just said I was the only man in the house. Your husband really is dead, and you’re a widow!”
“Imp, don’t take a mile when I’ve given you an inch. I never hit children,” the woman responded coldly.
“Hag, don’t bare your fangs at me! I never hit women!” Nameless Nie wasn’t to be outdone.
“Ling Miao, help Mommy teach this imp a hard lesson,” the woman said to the girl. ??e?wℯ???ѵ?l.?o?
The girl shook her head though. “It’d dirty my hands.”
“It appears I have no choice but to personally teach you a lesson, imp.” The woman snorted.
“Come! Do you think I’d be scared of you, a widow?” Nameless Nie pursed his lips.
…
About half an hour passed.
Nameless Nie, who was beaten black and blue, looked at the woman with a grin on his face. “Auntie Ling, Great Aunt, give me some money. I’ll go buy some groceries…”
“Are you giving in?” Auntie Ling asked Nameless Nie.
“How could I give in… It’s just that I’m the only man in the house, so I have to yield to you and Aunt Ling Miao. This is just a basic form of respect…”
Nameless Nie, who was basically beaten to submission, could only start shouldering all the chores in this house. He did all the cleaning and cooking every day. Thankfully, Auntie Ling treated him decently and left the laundry to Ling Miao.
