"Alright, from now on let's take good care of our own little family and not let Yanyan worry. Today wasn't her fault to begin with; there is nothing wrong with children defending their own mother." Father Jiang actually felt quite relieved. Things that were awkward for him to do as a son, his daughter had done for him.
Hearing what the old lady said today had made him both upset and angry, but after all, she was his biological mother—he couldn't very well beat or scold her.
His daughter was different. Since the old lady refused to act her age, the younger generation had no need to show her respect. That was why he hadn't stopped his daughter when she spoke out earlier; a half-hearted word or two after the fuss died down would be more than enough.
