"Boys have more land and more food, but there are advantages to having fewer boys. For example, my eldest, second, and third sisters don't eat the family's food after they get married, and the dowry money they earn is enough for my parents to enjoy a comfortable life."
Xie Ming's firm but firm retort left Old Madam Xie speechless, knowing that the dowry money had been pocketed by her and then used to subsidize the second wife's family.
Enraged, Old Lady Xie glared at Xie Ming and pointed repeatedly with her finger, saying, "You heartless little beast, you don't respect your second uncle at all! What a waste of all the food they've fed your eldest son's family over the years! Go! Go and call your parents back. Today I'm here to ask if you don't want to live a peaceful life anymore."
The second wife and her children were still at home. Hearing the noise outside, they came out and saw that the old woman and the brothers from the next branch of the family were arguing. They all came over to comfort them.
Some people wanted to yell at Xie Ming, but Xie Ming wouldn't give them the chance. Instead, he said first, "Did you hear that? I told you to go call my parents."
As he spoke, he grabbed a bamboo stalk about the thickness of a calf from the ground and snapped it in two with a "snap," just like breaking a chopstick. Then, pressing down on the surface with both hands, he forcefully tore the bamboo in half with a "ripping" sound.
The people opposite him swallowed hard, watching as he tore the bamboo in his hand into pieces with his bare hands.

He tore off a piece, stood up, and his aura shifted slightly. Old Mrs. Xie was so frightened that cold sweat began to bead on her forehead; she understood what her grandson had said.
That means if you make me suffer a clear loss, I don't know what kind of hidden loss you'll suffer.
Judging from the skill he just displayed, he's probably even more formidable than Xiao Lei from the second wife's side.
She was genuinely afraid of his innate brute strength!
Fine! Isn't she supposed to be tough on this old woman? Then we'll deal with this little beast when his father gets back.
Having made up her mind, Grandma Xie turned to her granddaughters-in-law, hoping they would offer her a way out.
