Chapter 204

Half an hour later, I sat in the mediation room with my two cousins. Mai Sui, Hutao, and Gua Gua had all put down their work to come and support me. Once everyone had arrived, my two cousins began to pour out their grievances with great passion. To summarize, their argument was that since they were born male, they were entitled to preferential treatment from all relatives surnamed Lian, and if the family assets weren't handed over for them to enjoy, then I was unworthy of being buried in the Lian family ancestral grave. After listening to them, the police warned my cousins not to harass me at school again, citing provocation and disturbing the peace, and noted that any repeat offenses would result in detention and fines.
