Kapitel 578: just lower your head for now

" What do you mean that this is the best you can give me?" Old man Tang was furious as he pointed at the bowl that had a watery rice porridge and then looked at the bowls of the other mers whose bowls were filled with rice grains. " Why can I not get a porridge-like that? Why are you giving me this watery porridge, did I eat your children or what?" 

The mer who was responsible for serving the rice porridge did not reply at once, instead, he waited until he has scooped some porridge for the other mer who was waiting with a bowl in his hands, he ladled a generous amount of porridge into the bowl of the other mer and Old man Tang looked at the mer who finally turned to look at him with a smile that was not a smile and replied, " Old man Tang, I did not want to be difficult with you but don't think that we do know about you and your family sneaking in some porridge yesterday when the mers responsible were not looking."
