Mrs. Guan agreed with a tender smile and inquired, "Jia'er, why did you come here today, accusing Madam Shao of mistreating me? Where did you hear that? What exactly did you hear? Please tell me."
Guan Jialing pressed his lips together and blurted out, "That's right. I overheard two girls talking. I got really angry, so I rushed over to help Mother vent her frustration!"
The couple was taken aback and simultaneously questioned, "What did they say?"
Guan Jialing was indignant, tightly pursing his lips. "They said Madam Shao is mean and wicked. She used foul language and even plotted to have someone hit Mother and snatch her money. She even wanted to take me away and make me her slave. She planned to drive our family out and forbid us from living in the backyard of the state government office!"
"She's so awful! So awful! Mother, I don't like her at all. Tell Father to kick their family out!"
"Alright, alright. Jia'er, did you really hear all of this?"
