Maodou argued back immediately, "Third aunt, we are cousins from the same family. We shouldn't be so distant."
Lu Jiao glared at him and mocked, "Now you're cousins from the same family? How come I never saw you protect your little cousins or share food with them? I never see you help them out and instead, you make your three-year-old cousins do all the work. After leaving them with all the work, you go into town to study. How dare you come out here today to say, you're cousins from the same family."
Lu Jiao thoughtfully added, "Now that your third uncle's legs are healed, you want to be a family again. It's truly sad that you spent a few years studying because you haven't seemed to learn anything about shame."
Maodou's face turned bright red. He wanted to say more but Lu Jiao stopped acknowledging the two brothers.
She asked the four little ones, "Are you wounded?"
