" I am sorry even though you cooked the meal with so much care, I couldn't…" Xi Sang couldn't understand what was wrong with him. The taste of the sauce was good enough, so why did it matter if the meat that he ate was not the usual kind? But for some reason his body was not willing to swallow down the meat and he ended up hurling every bite.
The same could be said for Mother Xi and Father Xi, they couldn't swallow the meat either and in the end, decided to skip dinner altogether. What was the point of eating a meal only to hurl it back outside?
" No, I am the one who is at fault…" Lady Yan sniffed as she looked at the half-eaten spaghetti and meatballs before saying in a low voice, " I should have just tried to get meat like normal humans but because I was afraid to meet a celestial master…I went to the forest and ended up bringing something that your family doesn't like, I don't know what to do anymore. I can't buy meat at a normal supermarket and the meat hunted in the forest does not suit your parents and you."
Xi Sang's heart could not help but soften a little when he heard Lady Yan's words, he thought that Lady Yan was doing so much for him all because she was his wife, so why couldn't he just eat her cooking? Even though it tasted weird and funny—— this was how his life going to be from now on, Lady Yan would not be able to buy meat at the supermarket and he was too busy to take care of the household affairs.
Eating vegetables all his life was impossible as well, maybe he should just get used to eating the cooking of his ghost wife?
And thus, he asked Madam Yan to bring him another plate of meatballs and spaghetti. This overjoyed Madam Yan as she brought him another plate and this time Xi Sang ate the meal happily, even though he felt like throwing up, he stomached it and soon he no longer felt as bad as before. Though he did not like the taste, at least it was not bad to the point where he wanted to throw up. On the side, Lady Yan served him well, she wiped his sweat and then poured the sauce over his spaghetti considerately which made Xi Sang eat a bit more.
The more he ate the more rejuvenated he became, in the past he was always compared with his cousin. No matter what Xi Xuefeng did, his father would compare his cousin to him —— Xi Sang tried to do better than his cousin but no matter how much he tried he couldn't fight back.
Xi Xuefeng was smarter and more outstanding than him. What was more he studied in a military school with tons of tutors, unlike him who was left to do his studying on his own.
Xi Xuefeng's father was a man with a vision thus even though he couldn't get to the city, he moved his family to the town for better education and opportunities for his children. Something that Xi Sang's father never did—— his father was satisfied with how his life was and never even thought about moving from the countryside to a town when Xi Sang asked him to move his father told him that it was him who wasn't working hard.
If he worked hard then he could compete with his cousin no matter where he was living!
Xi Sang was very jealous of his cousin, he wanted to move to the town and study hard as well. He too wanted to have tutors and go to coaching centres but his father was just too stuck up! Unlike his uncle who was willing to do anything good for his children!
Sure enough, with the opportunities presented in front of him, Xi Xuefeng went to the city and became the assistant of the richest man in the capital—— Fu Yu Sheng! While he continued to fight through his way towards a decent living.
Xi Sang believed that the only reason his cousin was living a better life them him was because he was given better opportunities to grow if they were offered to him there even if he did not work hard, he would have become just as rich and powerful as his cousin!
He knew that the only reason he was behind his cousin was because he couldn't get out of this darned countryside and sure enough, the second he left the countryside, he met Lady Yan!
Xi Sang was sure that there was no way his cousin would ever be able to find someone as considerate and wonderful as Lady Yan even if he was to comb through the entire world. Thus, he did not even care that this woman was a ghost, as long as she was better than everyone else! Then he wouldn't even care about anything else! More importantly, she was even more beautiful than the celestial master who was the wife of the richest man in the city!
All of his sufferings had finally paid off which was why Xi Sang threatened his parents with suicide to make sure that they would not send Lady Yan away. Each time he looked at the beautiful face of his wife he felt rejuvenated —— to think that his wife was even more beautiful than Fu Yu Sheng's hehe!
Mother and Father Xi looked at their son who was acting foolish and pursed their lips. For some reason the more they wanted to push this woman away from their son, the more sticky he got with her!
A few days passed by just like this, Mother Xi and Father Xi tried to maintain their diet strictly vegetarian while Xi Sang, on the other hand, became more and more addicted to the meat that Lady Yan was bringing with her, it reached the point that if he did not get his meat cooked meals on time he ended up getting extremely upset and would start throwing things around.
Seeing their son acting so violently, Mother Xi and Father Xi had a feeling that something was definitely up!
Fortunately, the old master Xi was going to hold his birthday banquet in a few days and Assistant Xi would surely attend that party!
