"Mother, if you want to hit my brother, then hit him. Why are you hitting me too?"
"My mother is in great pain."
Qin Jingtai, after being beaten by Yang Jiaojiao, clutched his head and accused his mother.
"How dare you complain of pain?"
Yang Jiaojiao grabbed Qin Jingtai's ear and spoke, then reached for Qin Jingmu's ear with her other hand, but Qin Jingmu dodged it.
