Chapter 892: Chapter 892 Do I Have the Qualifications to Treat (1)

Old Lady Xia’s heart nearly burst with rage. Her nostrils flared as she breathed heavily, her small, green eyes glaring at Xia Hao with such venom, as if she wished she could flay and debone him.

"You, you little Wang..."

Just as she was about to blurt out "little bastard," Old Lady Xia suddenly clamped her mouth shut. Though uneducated, she understood certain principles—indeed, a "little bastard" is born from a "big bastard," which, by that logic, would make her the "old bastard."

Unable to voice her intended insult, her rage found no outlet and she felt stifled. Old Lady Xia stared at Xia Hao, clearly unwilling to admit defeat.

Behind Old Lady Xia, her daughter, Xia Laosan, was scheming as she hid.

"Oh my goodness! Don’t get so angry you become ill! What would happen to all of us if something happened to you?!"

Xia Laosan burst out crying and dancing towards Old Lady Xia.

Old Lady Xia was initially startled, but then, figuring out her daughter’s intention, responded.

She suddenly bent her knees and collapsed softly to the ground, clutching her chest and gasping for air.

"Ouch, it hurts so much, my chest hurts! Oh, my heart disease is acting up! An undutiful offspring, oh!"

Xia Laosan threw herself onto Old Lady Xia, wailing in cooperation: "Mom, oh my mom! What are we going to do? Xiao Pheng is already in the hospital, are you going to end up there too? Oh dear, medical expenses are so costly, how are my brother’s and my families supposed to survive? Such misfortune, such misfortune!"

Xia Laosan knelt on the ground, crying as if she had lost her own parents.

Xia Laoda knew his own mother and sister’s scheming minds well. Seeing no harm in it for himself, he decided to play along too.

"Xia Hao, you unfilial grandson! To think you’ve angered your grandmother to this state, don’t you know she has a heart condition? You deserve to die! Where are your parents? Have them come out, I need to teach you a lesson!"

Xia Laoda rolled up his sleeves while pointing at Xia Hao in anguish: "Do you know that such disrespect can lead to imprisonment?! Lao San, your husband is a lawyer, tell him how serious the crime of unfilial behavior is!"

Upon his cue, Lao San’s husband straightened his tie, cleared his throat, and said earnestly, "According to Xuanjin law, adults guilty of disrespect and unfilial behavior should be sentenced to at least ten years of imprisonment! Xia Hao, as Old Lady Xia’s grandson, not only have you failed to fulfill your duties of support, you even yelled and insulted her, according to criminal law, you ought to be in jail!"

"Exactly, you should be in jail!" Xia Laoda took over, his expression one of righteous indignation, looking at Xia Hao with a mix of heartache and reluctance, "Xia Hao, where did you learn all these bad habits? You’ve distressed your grandmother, and as your uncle, I really don’t want to see you in jail, but fair is fair among brothers; you must cover all of grandma’s medical and living expenses! Get your parents out here, I need to have a serious talk with them!"

After all the circling and dual performances, the ultimate aim of Xia Laoda and his team was still to extort money, more shamelessly than any previous attempt.

Xia Hao coldly glanced at both Xia Laoda and Lao San’s husband and sniffed disdainfully.

"Uncle, Uncle-in-law, do you two really think I am oblivious to the law? I might be young, but I have read more books than both of you. According to article 230 of Xuanjin’s laws, those who abuse or abandon family members causing severe consequences can face up to two years of imprisonment, detention, or probation; and, if it results in death or injury, a sentence of two to seven years. If I’m truly unfilial, then I’ll admit to it. But everyone is welcome to ask around in our neighborhood—see if anyone dares claim that my family of three is unfilial!"
