"They're such nags, constantly telling me what I can't do. When I was the boss in Kyoto, they didn't even know where they stood, and now they're controlling me. I can't suppress the rage inside me." Mr. Lin grumbled.
"Exactly, they even forbid me from drinking. I'm miserable." Mr. Qin nodded in agreement.
"I wanted to eat some cake, and they got me sugar-free ones. I might as well eat plain rice, at least it has a hint of sweetness when I chew." Mrs. Feng chipped in.

"If you stay here for a while, you can eat or drink as you please. As long as I don't overdo it, Xia Yue doesn't bother me."
"I used to be like you back at home, but now I am liberated." Mr. Xia sympathetically glanced at his friends before bragging.
