00:00Every day, the boy drank as much milk as an entire cow could produce.
00:02In a single meal, he could eat a hundred giant pig's feet.
00:05Even the bathroom scale could not support his weight.
00:07One day, he tried to eat an entire roasted pig all by himself.
00:10His father feared that overeating might eventually kill him,
00:12so he sent him to a rural ashram to lose weight.
00:15Get out.
00:15Yeah, yeah, I heard you.
00:16Why are you shouting so much?
00:17This car door is too small.
00:18Are you Lucy?
00:18I'm Tom, and this is my son, Jack.
00:20This isn't a daycare center.
00:21I know.
00:21Here is a deposit of $100,000.
00:23You have three months, and I have only one condition.
00:25Make him lose 55 pounds.
00:27Once he succeeds, I'll give you another $200,000.
00:30Teach him the true meaning of life.
00:31His mother has spoiled him terribly.
00:32At home, he hits and verbally abuses the servants.
00:35At school, he argues with his teachers.
00:36He eats as much as five people and can barely walk properly.
00:39I'm so busy with my work that I can't deal with him.
00:41Money is not a problem.
00:42Just turn him into a decent person.
00:43I accept.
00:44Dad, what are you doing?
00:45I'm not staying in this dump.
00:46There's no Wi-Fi or air conditioning.
00:47Are you trying to kill me?
00:48Shut up.
00:49You're staying here for the next three months.
00:50I've frozen all your cards and stopped your allowance as well.
00:53You can leave, but you won't receive a single penny from me.
00:55Lucy, he's in your hands now.
00:56Don't go easy on him at all.
00:57Shout at him, or even slap him if necessary.
00:59As long as he stays alive, do whatever you need to do.
01:01His father had dumped this troublesome burden on Lucy.
01:03Hey, how much did my dad pay you?
01:05I'll give you twice as much.
01:06Take me back to the city right now.
01:07Fine.
01:07First, bring me an ice-cold Coke, and then cook five dishes for me.
01:10Two meat dishes, two lighter meat dishes, and one vegetable dish.
01:13Hurry up.
01:13I'm starving.
01:14He was treating Lucy as though she were his personal maid,
01:16and the entitled look on his face was almost comical.
01:18The kitchen is over there.
01:19Cook whatever you want.
01:20You expect me to cook?
01:21Yes, you.
01:22You seriously expect me to cook?
01:23Do you even know who I am?
01:24My father is Tom.
01:25He's paying you to serve me.
01:26First of all, your father isn't paying me to serve you.
01:29Step into this courtyard.
01:30You must obey my rules.
01:31Third, my rules do not include being your personal maid.
01:33Rules?
01:34Let me tell you what makes the rules.
01:35Money makes the rules.
01:36Not here.
01:36Money doesn't make the rules here.
01:37I do, and I don't have time for your tantrums.
01:39There isn't even a drop of oil in this.
01:41Is this supposed to be dinner?
01:42You call this food?
01:42I wouldn't even feed it to a pig.
01:44This is what we eat here every day.
01:45Eat it or don't.
01:46I'm not eating this.
01:47I'm going home.
01:47Take me back right now.
01:48Fine.
01:49I'll call your father and ask him to come and get you.
01:50But the contract clearly states that if you choose to leave,
01:53the $100,000 deposit will not be refunded.
01:55And let me remind you, your father left you here so you could change.
01:58Do you honestly think he'll invite you back home?
02:00Your cards, gaming accounts, and everything else you own will probably be shut down too.
02:03You have 10 minutes.
02:04Stay here.
02:05Clean up.
02:05And go hungry.
02:06Or I'll make the call.
02:06Jack did not eat anything that night,
02:08but Lucy wondered what would happen the next day or the day after.
02:10She wanted to see how long he could hold out.
02:12Jack locked himself inside his room and did not come out until the afternoon.
02:15He apparently believed he could secretly order something,
02:17but there was no mobile network there,
02:18and none of the food delivery applications worked.
02:20This is your job.
02:21Chop all of this wood, and then you'll get breakfast.
02:22At this hour, it'll also count as your lunch.
02:25What?
02:25Manage your time wisely.
02:26If you haven't finished by noon, you'll have more work to complete before dinner.
02:29Jack's first attempt at chopping wood was a complete failure.
02:31I did it.
02:32Who even does work like this?
02:33Are you trying to kill me by making me work this hard so you can keep my father's money?
02:36Are you tired?
02:37Of course I am.
02:37Good.
02:38That means your fat is burning, and you're one step closer to losing 55 pounds.
02:41That's a good thing.
02:41This is your lunch and dinner.
02:42If you want breakfast tomorrow, get up and keep working.
02:44Why are you allowed to eat?
02:45Because I worked.
02:46I watered the plants, prepared the vegetables, and lit the fire.
02:48I completed all my tasks.
02:50Did you split even one log?
02:51Being completely ignored was the final straw for Jack.
02:53He finally understood that tantrums and throwing money around were useless in this courtyard.
02:57There was only one rule here.
02:58Lucy's rule.
02:58No work meant no food.
02:59A faint mixture of warmth and hurt appeared in his eyes,
03:02like a child who had finally received praise after experiencing defeat.
03:04Not bad.
03:05Split nine more logs, and then you can eat.
03:07Jack finally received his meal after splitting ten logs and developing blisters on both hands.
03:11It was already three o'clock.
03:12The food counted as both lunch and an early dinner.
03:14The brown rice was hard.
03:15Nothing like the soft white rice and noodles he usually ate.
03:17But after taking a few bites, surprise appeared in his eyes.
03:20The rice had a pleasant aroma and the natural sweetness of grain.
03:22It barely contained any seasoning, only a little salt.
03:25Yet he could still taste the vegetables' freshness, sweetness, and crispness.
03:28It was the plainest meal he had ever eaten in his life,
03:30and perhaps the best, because he had earned it through his own labor.
03:32Hey, what are we doing tomorrow?
03:34Tomorrow, you'll fetch water and fill the courtyard's water tank.
03:36The well is downhill, and the full round trip is one mile.
03:39Chopping wood could be done inside the courtyard,
03:41but to collect water, he had to walk a mile along the mountain path.
03:43Can we do a little less?
03:44Of course.
03:45That will earn you only one meal.
03:46Breakfast, lunch, or dinner you can choose.
03:48You've completed your first trip.
03:49Here is your reward.
03:50He had never imagined that millet porridge could taste so delicious,
03:53or that a steamed bun could smell so wonderful.
03:55How long do I have to keep doing this?
03:56His voice had already become hoarse.
03:57Until the tank is completely full, that is your work for the entire day.
04:00Fill it, and you'll receive your other two meals.
