A woman in eastern China fractured four of her mother-in-law’s ribs after accusing the older woman of neglecting her grandchildren to pursue a romantic relationship.

The family feud in Jiaxing, Zhejiang province, was recently reported by Zhejiang Television and has fuelled a heated online debate over childcare and filial obligations.

After Jiao and his elder brother lost their father, the two remained in their hometown, while their mother, surnamed Shen, moved to Jiaxing with their elder sister.

Jiao and his wife, who have two children and work in different cities, later placed the youngsters in Shen’s care. The ages of the two children are not disclosed in the report.

The dispute erupted after their son told his mother through the family’s home surveillance system that he felt unwell but his grandmother had refused to take his temperature.

Alarmed, the mother took a high-speed train and arrived in Shen’s home in about an hour.
