Old Mrs. Xia wasn't like Mrs. Xia, who favored her daughters; she actually despised girls the most, especially now that Xia Ningxing had the nerve to talk back to her, which made her disdain even greater, "A worthless wretch raised by a cheap slut; absolutely not presentable, no concept of respecting one's elders at all!"
"Respect has to be earned, Granny, and you certainly don't qualify for it," Xia Ningxing stressed the last few words, elongating the tone with full sarcasm.
A crazy old hag, daring to speak of respect in front of her!
I'll respect your grandmother's leg!
"You good-for-nothing, you're asking for a beating!" Old Mrs. Xia, who had been pampered by her children and daughter-in-law all her life, couldn't take this humiliation; she raised her walking stick to strike Xia Ningxing.
Mrs. Xia and the five brothers were immediately alarmed and tried to stop her, "Mother/Grandma, don't hit your sister!"
