Another few months and they would welcome a new life into their home. He would not want these nosey, shady, uninvited guests to ruin their mood.
Especially their wife’s!
“You dare!” Grandmother Ye bellowed angrily as she rolled over in the mud.
Her body was still in good shape. Even when she was tossed out, she only had minor bruises here and there.
“Care to try?” Ye Yang stood at the door, glaring at her imposingly.
He was not one to fool around!
He might not speak much normally, but when he did, he would do what he had sworn to do!
Not wanting to waste his time and breath, Ye Yang turned around and headed back through the entrance of their yard.
He blew a loud whistle, and Hei Xiaomeng scampered out from the woods.
Even dogs had to do their business somewhere.
It used to do it at home, or take a dump outside during one of its explorations.
“Stand guard!” Ye Yang looked down and instructed the dog, despite not being sure whether it understood.
With its jet black fur, Hei Xiaomeng wagged its fluffy tail.
Of course, it did not understand a single word, but it had the natural instinct to guard the premises from strangers.
After that, Ye Yang walked towards the others. At the same time, Grandmother Ye made a move to rush into the yard.
Hei Xiaomeng immediately snarled at her ferociously, baring its fangs. If she dared to step through the door, it would not hesitate to pounce on her.
Grandmother Ye skidded to a halt. Her attempt failed.
“Move over, you brute!” The old woman, covered in mud, scolded Hei Xiaomeng.
She despised cats and dogs. She found them particularly troublesome.
If she got any of their fur on her person, she would feel quite uncomfortable.
She waved her hands at the dog, trying to shoo it away, but would a tall and mighty Mastiff such as Hei Xiaomeng be afraid of that?
Hei Xiaomeng approached her instead, its sharp teeth ever provoking.
The family saw what was happening but ignored the event. If Hei Xiaomeng really bit the old woman, she probably deserved it!
“Get rid of this brute this instant, or I’ll poison it next time!” Grandmother Ye shouted as she glared angrily at them.
She also looked around, hoping to find a stick to be on the safe side. It could be used to deal with this savage beast.
However, there was nothing but fallen and yellowed bamboo leaves around her. Not even weeds!
Still, the family ignored her screams. She deserved to be bitten by the dog if it came to that!
Plan to poison Hei Xiaomeng?
They wondered if she had the guts.
Hei Xiaomeng spotted her wandering eyes and pounced on her. It opened its mouth and bit her hard on the arm, all the while making extremely fierce yet excited sounds.
There came another shriek. “Ah!”
The onlooking villagers were frightened to have witnessed a Mastiff biting a person for the first time.
The family was shocked too. Only Ye Yang remained indifferent.
“Yang, should we call back Xiaomeng?” Ye Ling suggested.
Even if the attack would not kill the old woman, he felt it was too cruel to watch.
Hei Xiaomeng looked terribly fearsome.
Ye Yang pretended not to have heard, his unwavering eyes glued to the vicious act.
Aunt Li had the same idea as Ye Ling but she did not voice it.
