Shen Meng held her trembling nine-year-old son, Lu Mingyang, in her arms, wondering how much strength such a young child could possibly muster.
Wu Xianglan, lying on the ground in pain and rolling, looked fiercely at the mother and son huddled together, pulling Yong Qiang and Yong Li to stand behind her.
"Shen Meng, look at how your son bit my arm. This is not over. After all, he's an outsider's wild child, eating and living off the Lu family, and now he dares to bully the legitimate Lu family members. I must tell the father-in-law and mother-in-law about this, to kick these wild ones out. You'll receive a lesson too. We haven't even split the family property yet, but you only think about outsiders. Just you wait!" she yelled at Shen Meng like a madwoman.
Lu Mingliang and Lu Mingfang, both frightened children, glanced at Shen Meng, terrified she might abandon them if their grandparents took charge.
