"A joke?" Old Granny Zhang laughed angrily.
Pointing at Lady Dong's nose, she scolded: "What a fine surname you have, but such a rotten person to carry it, wasting such a good name. Dong, Dong, what nonsense do you know? Is what you say human language? Do you act like a human being? Come, come, let me hear it, what is your birth status? Do you think you can bully me, an ignorant old country woman?"
"Pah! Do you think I don't know? Those who become concubines are either people who willingly debase themselves, coveting wealth, refusing to be the rightful wife, insisting on being inferior. Or they have no choice, being respectable women forced into becoming concubines by shameless men."
"Those with no choice are pitiable, but look at you, just a concubine, strutting around like you own the world. You're obviously someone who covets wealth, shameless, despicable through and through! You think you can talk about status with me? Have you looked at yourself? Do you even measure up?"
