Wanting to eat but cannot eat

The old mer brought some vegetables for himself and then returned home with Little Tian after buying some eggs and chicken breast for himself and Little Tian. 

The vegetables and meat which he brought were enough for himself and his servant which was why he did not buy more but soon the old mer came to regret it. Because the second he finished cooking and set the meal on the table, his daughters, granddaughters and his sons in laws along with their sons-in-law and his great-grandchildren came looking for him. And that too while carrying bowls and chopsticks! 

And the situation became even more chaotic since he sent an invite to his friends! 

He was so stunned that he wanted to buy more vegetables but who would have expected that he would not even buy a single leaf of lettuce when he sent Xiao Tian to the store again since everything was sold out!
