I've seen a lot of the killing unwanted girls in chinese web comics but I've never seen a character (grandma) make it sound so normal like that. Like it was just a fact of life.

"My village used to kill a lot of babies for being girls, but hey that's life."

NO. IT'S NOT! Wtf man 0_0

i can not understand the mind of someone who is reading the asshole parents use transphobic and transmisogynistic language and dead look me in the eye and use he/him pronouns for the character. That is a woman. there is no text that is "i just like the clothes" or "i think i am neither/both boy or girl". This flashback in particular is showing a trans girls pain of being told they cannot be a girl, and feeling hope for a version of her future self that can be like her sister.

Fuck dude... I know MC finds her a little annoying but she just looks up so much to her.

They felt they needed to get rid of the big sis because they were not economically stable and because she was a girl. Jokes on them they have two sisters and neither of them wants anything to do with them.

May the bloodline end here

Just noting that Xiaoyang in the original Chinese always consistently uses male terms to refer to himself.

Thanks fot the translation!

someones gonna step up for him, and I thing xingyuan is looking quite sympathetic right now. she too has very abusive parents, so this is her time to find courage to fight back.

What hurts the most in the chapter is the casual passiveness with which their parents' abuse is treated, yup, gotta respect the elders, can't clash with them, gotta be careful, gotta make concessions for them, do not shock them, they're your elders
while the way they're acting isn't great, at least some of what they're doing is deescalating the situation. the call to respect your elders was done as wang fang was escalating the situation and immediately defused that while still preventing "his" parents from continuing to hit "him", and escalation isn't really helpful, either. if they can pull from this more calmly explaining to the parents that they can't just force their expectations onto "him" or find a way to separate them without it turning into a big fight, then what they did will have been worth it. but it's also unclear if that's even possible at this point.
