Xu Sanya's hand hurt from the force of her own strikes.
The Xu Family siblings all had a scale that must not be touched, not their own children, but their old mother.
The family used to laugh and joke around, no matter how fiendishly or wildly the old lady acted, her three children would just take it with a smile.
It wasn't because the old lady was too fierce—after all, they weren't afraid of her. She was their birth mother; she couldn't really hurt them.
Their fear was out of filial piety.
No one knew better than the Xu siblings how their old mother struggled to bring them up when they thought their father had died.
Back in those days, it was even more brutal than now.
Carrying the reputation of a widow and having to support three children, their mother endured bullying from countless people, both openly and in secret.
At that time, her relatives were all advising her to abandon the three siblings and remarry into a good family, to find a man to provide for her.
