"Hah," An Jing scoffed coldly, "You indeed gave birth to me, but are you sure you actually raised me? I haven't forgotten how many years I've slaved away for you all, any villager can attest to how you treated me like a beast of burden, no, worse than an animal. At least animals get fed enough, but I have never had a full meal!"
"Enough," An Jing didn't want to prattle on, "All these years of servitude have repaid the debt of giving birth to me. Now you've sold me off, if you keep harassing me, I won't hesitate to report this to the authorities."
"Repaid?" Lin's mother shouted, "I brought you into this world, so it's only natural that you serve me until death! And you think of reporting to the authorities? Go ahead, I want to see if the Lord County Magistrate will also agree to someone giving away a living person to someone else for nothing!"
