"Who dares mention dividing the family, you spendthrift hussy!" Old Master Lian coughed on his smoke when he heard Lady Zhou mention dividing the family first. Unable to immediately stop this line of conversation, it ended up firmly nailed down with another sentence from Lady Zhou. Enraged, Old Master Lian threw the broom he was using to sweep the kang bed towards Lady Zhou.
```
```
Lady Zhou was struck on the head and her hair immediately became disheveled. She was also dazed. Old Master Lian was different from most peasant men; he never laid a hand on his wife, and this was the first time he had raised his hand to Lady Zhou.
```
```
Lady Zhou, both ashamed and furious, lunged into Old Master Lian's arms, extending all ten fingers to scratch at Old Master Lian's face.
