"My father married into the Zhou family twelve years ago."
"During these twelve years, the Zhou family treated him well, never lacking in food or drink, and provided him with clothes and shelter generously. My grandparents, while they were alive, treated him like a son. My mother obeyed his every word."
"Five years ago, my grandparents both fell seriously ill and passed away. Peng Cheng's true nature was revealed; he used the excuse of running a business to establish a residence elsewhere and had an illegitimate child. He even forced my mother to acknowledge the child and give him the Zhou surname, adding him to the Zhou family genealogy."
Zhou Ying stood tall, recounting the grievances suffered by her and her mother: "My mother refused, and Peng Cheng cursed and beat her. I tried to protect my mother and was beaten as well."
"My mother has many old wounds; you can have a doctor examine them."
