Luo Yunyi returned to the small courtyard, carrying a fish basket and put the fish into the fish tank in the yard. A woman walked out of the house, saw him return, and smiled.
"Yunyi, you’re back. Dinner’s ready, go wash your hands and eat." The woman urged with a smile. This woman dressed simply yet cleanly and neatly, well-maintained, looking no more than thirty years old. Luo Yunyi’s handsome features were clearly inherited from her genes, with bright eyes and white teeth, skin like snow, undoubtedly a beauty.
"Okay." Luo Yunyi put down the fish basket and went to the nearby sink to wash his hands. This sink had running water, designed by Yu Xinlan. It should be said that the layout of the courtyard, as well as the furnishings in the house, were all designed by Yu Xinlan. Although some things felt a bit strange, they were very practical.
"We have twice-cooked pork, mapo tofu, boiled sliced pork in chili sauce..." Yu Xinlan listed the dishes with a smile.
"Boiled sliced pork in chili sauce?" Luo Yunyi’s eyes lit up when he heard this dish name.
"Yes, the day after tomorrow shall we eat hot pot?" Yu Xinlan asked.
"No plain broth, all spicy broth." Luo Yunyi emphasized.
"Alright. That’s how it is, inheriting my gene, such a fondness for spicy food." Yu Xinlan laughed.
Luo Yunyi also laughed.
"Just now father wanted to come in and eat with us. I said if you agree, he can, then he left." After sitting down, Luo Yunyi spoke out.
The smile on Yu Xinlan’s face froze, then she sat down as well, humming: "No way! Let him stay far away!"
"Let’s eat. Tomorrow I want to eat ’ants climbing a tree’." Luo Yunyi said.
"Alright. And spicy chicken? And maybe some ’husband and wife lung slices’? Tomorrow I’ll make some chrysanthemum tea for you to calm the heat, eating so much spicy stuff every day isn’t too good, right?" Yu Xinlan was a bit worried.
"Mother, cultivators aren’t afraid of spice." Luo Yunyi laughed.
"Oh, right, I always forget that." Yu Xinlan laughed heartily, "Let’s eat, let’s eat."
...
Luo Yunfei returned to his mother’s courtyard, sat down heavily with a dark face, and gulped down half a teapot of tea.
"Yunfei, what’s wrong?" A woman walked out from the inner room, looking delicate and weak, a stark contrast to her luxurious golden clothing.
"Mother, I really don’t understand. Why does father protect that waste so much? Compared to that waste, I’m so much better, why can’t father see it? Why does he only ever reprimand me? Can’t he see how hard I work? Can’t he see my worth?" Luo Yunfei angrily asked.
"It’s precisely because he’s a waste that your father takes more care of him, don’t begrudge it. Why bother with a waste?" Luo Yunfei’s mother, Tao Yingying, laughed, "Anyway, this Luo Family will be yours sooner or later, and Taocheng too. By then, just let him have a bowl of rice. If you’re really uncomfortable about it, find an excuse to send him out to do something, and have someone take care of him on the way." Tao Yingying said lightly.
After saying this, she saw Luo Yunfei looking at her in shock.
"Mother, how can you think that way? No matter what, he’s still father’s child. I wouldn’t go as far as wanting to kill him." Luo Yunfei said in shock.
"Ah haha, I’m just saying." Tao Yingying awkwardly laughed.
"I’m going to eat first, then continue practicing." Luo Yunfei stood up and walked to the dining room.
"Yes, eat first. No need to bother with that waste. Yunfei, I have some good news to tell you." Tao Yingying happily followed.
