Lian Yeye talked back to Lady Zhou, and Lady Zhou wanted to make a big deal out of it, causing the whole village to know. But Lian Yeye was not afraid at all; she was even more willing than Lady Zhou to put the matter in the public eye and let everyone judge right or wrong.
Lian Yeye was determined.
Actually, regardless of the issue itself, just focusing on the fight between Lian Yeye and Lady Zhou, if really judged by everyone, it would end in mutual defeat. Lian Yeye, with her lower ranking, would be criticized for being unfilial for talking back to Lady Zhou. However, Lady Zhou, at her age, confronting her granddaughter so directly, would also be criticized for being disrespectful and lacking dignity.
Lady Zhou was a bit surprised at Lian Yeye's reaction, but she had always been stubborn and unwilling to admit defeat. Thus, the grandmother and granddaughter were at loggerheads.
