The woman angrily started hitting the young man, "Abao, what are you talking about? Have you forgotten your father was killed by pirates? Have you forgotten he died protecting your mother and me? How can you accept a thief as your father?"
"Don't mention my father! If he weren't so incompetent, would he have been killed? He protected us? If he could protect us well, would we need to be caught on a pirate ship doing hard labor?"
The young man called Abao laughed menacingly, "What's wrong with being a pirate? They will teach me martial arts, and I will become one of them, eating and drinking to my heart's content, unlike you, always crawling in the mud!"
Slap, a resounding slap echoed, as the woman fiercely slapped her son, who she had embraced a moment ago, protecting him without a care for her own safety.
Despair filled the woman's eyes, "If you become a pirate, I'll die in front of you!"
