Xiaomei's mother, seeing that Xiaomei was sincerely looking out for Xiaojie, no longer got angry with her, but kindly explained, "Xiaomei, your sister-in-law has promised us that if Liu Ping dares to beat our Xiaojie, she will go home and beat Liu Ping herself. Moreover, Liuliu has also assured us that if Liu Ping dares to take a concubine, she too will go home and beat Liu Ping. With your sister-in-law's promise, you don't need to worry anymore, Xiaojie will be well taken care of."
"Father, Mother, you believe what she says? She could not find anyone to marry herself, so she forced your eldest son to marry her!"
"Impudence!" Xiaomei's words were cut off halfway by her own father. She felt a pang of injustice in her heart. Now that she's home, her parents aren't as sympathetic to her as they used to be, and tears welled up in her eyes.
