Uncle Chen's agonizing screams, paired with Second Grandpa's explanation, finally made me realize that the old man in our family wields the absolute most authority in the entire Chen clan. It's just that in today's harmonious society, clan ties have faded so much that this dominance rarely shows itself anymore.
"Is Uncle Chen alright? He's screaming so miserably! Are you really sure he's fine? How can you be so unconcerned?" Uncle Chen's shrieks hadn't stopped for a second.
Second Grandpa offered an explanation. "You don't understand! He's the eldest of his generation, which is why you call him Uncle Chen, and why he doesn't beat you. The earliest thing he got into, and the one thing he excels at, isn't beating people up—it's getting the crap beaten out of him."
