"Wow, the courtyard of the Gong Family is so grand. It's made of green bricks and glazed tiles. The rooms are spacious and bright. It seems that they have transplanted some trees at the courtyard too." Xiao Lingye exclaimed during mealtime. "The rich are different."

There was still some envy in his eyes. He was wondering if he should go out and explore the world after his university entrance exam. After all, he was already 18. He could work legally already.

Mother Xiao knocked on Xiao Lingye's head with her chopsticks. She warned sternly, "Xiao Lingye, I'm warning you. That's their business for being rich. You are not going to resort to something sinister to earn money. If I find you you're earning black money, I'll break your legs!"

Even though their children were very obedient, Mother Xiao and Father Xiao still dispensed life lessons once in a while.

Xiao Lingye rubbed his head and grumbled, "Mom, that was just a statement. Did you need to hit me? Plus, I will be earning money with my hard work in the future. I will not let you and Dad down."

"You're always a sweet-talker!" Mother Xiao rolled her eyes and saw, from the corner of her eyes, Father Xiao reach for the chili. She coughed, and Father Xiao's hand trembled. The chopsticks changed direction to pick up the pig's liver instead.

He put the pig liver into his mouth with a bitter laugh. After chewing it a few times and swallowing it, he carefully said, "Dear, I want to discuss something with you!"

"We shouldn't talk when we're eating." Mother Xiao said seriously, "If you have anything to say, you can say it after you're done eating."

Everyone, "..."

Cowed by Mother Xiao, Father Xiao finished his bowl of rice, and he said, "Dear, I'm done eating. Can we discuss it now?"

"But I have not!" Mother Xiao retorted.

The two children, "..."

Father Xiao, "..."

Father Xiao immediately turned his children. He mouthed, 'Help me!'

His two kids looked at him helplessly and mouthed back. 'Who told you to make Mom angry?'

Father Xiao's face instantly fell. He didn't intend to do that. It had been so long since he had something spicy. He yearned for them.

One time, he sneaked to grab some chili to eat from the kitchen when his wife was out. However, once the chili was in his mouth, his wife returned. The tail of the chili was still poking out of his mouth. Mother Xiao didn't say anything. She just glanced at him and left.

However, for dinner that night, every dish had chili, except the plate of pork liver. Therefore, Father Xiao couldn't eat anything but the pork liver. It was fine for one meal, but this continued for the next few days. Father Xiao would be given chicken soup and pork liver. However, the other spicy dishes would be sitting on the table to taunt him.

He had eaten pork liver for four consecutive days already. If this continued, he would vomit.

Since his two children sided with his wife, Father Xiao had to do this on his own. He waited for his wife to finish eating.

The moment she did, he said impatiently. "Dear, I need to discuss something with you. Can you stop making pork liver for me? I'm about to vomit from eating it."

Mother Xiao said calmly, "Pork liver is good for the blood. You lost a lot of blood from the surgery. Plus, just think of the chilies waiting for you in the future. Once you're healed, you can eat as many chilies as you like. But to heal quickly, you need to eat more pork livers."
