Eating big melon is so refreshing

Xiaowang Village, Jiang Tang’s home.

"You are talking nonsense! You are slandering me!"

Tian Bao was threatening with anger, and said angrily, "Sister, I told you this guy is a piece of shit. Look how he slandered me. Now he's showing his true colors, right?"

Zhao Erlang sneered, "I slandered you? I'll go find a doctor right now!"

Tian Bao looked stern but was actually weak. "You are a live-in son-in-law, who gives you the face to act so arrogantly in front of the elders? Sister, today it's either him or me, or me or him!"

Jiang Tianshi, who was always gentle, was angry and said, "Erlang, hurry up and apologize to your uncle. It's a rare visit for him, why do you doubt his visit?"

Tian Bao looked at Zhao Erlang proudly. His own sister was more on his side, so what was he, a live-in son-in-law?

"I am a magnanimous man. I will forgive you if you apologize." Tian Bao said, "Kneel down respectfully and kowtow to me three times..."

"You fart!"

Zhao Erlang said bluntly, "You are running around the streets with the virus, God will punish you with lightning!"

"you……"

"Zhao Erlang! You are being too harsh. Do you think I treat you too well? Are you glaring at me?"

When Jiang Tian saw her son-in-law cursing her own brother, she said in her heart, "You should apologize quickly, otherwise..."

"Get him out! Take those two little bastards away." Tian Bao fanned the flames. "Sister, Dazhu and Erzhu asked you to choose one to adopt. Aren't you afraid of having no descendants?"

"I'm not dead yet, what's the point of adopting me?" Jiang Tang pushed open the door and walked in, followed by several yamen runners and a doctor.

Tian Bao felt guilty and wanted to run away, but a yamen runner covered his face with a piece of cloth, walked up to him and knocked him to the ground with one punch. Tian Bao screamed in pain.

The doctor also covered his face when he examined Tian Bao, and then said, "He was infected with the epidemic at the peak of its spread. Take him away and put him in jail."

The yamen runner put a rope around Tian Bao's head and dragged him out like a dead dog.

"Take her away as well and isolate her immediately."

The doctor pointed at Jiang Tian and said, "She had been in contact with the patient for a long time, so she is very likely to be infected."

Jiang Tianshi felt as if struck by lightning and was taken away by the yamen runners like a walking corpse.

Zhao Erlang felt heartbroken. He treated his parents-in-law with all his heart, but his mother-in-law still secretly wanted a nephew to adopt. He didn't know whether his father-in-law had the same idea.

It doesn't matter anymore. He won't be so foolish as to open his heart to them anymore. He will have to save money to provide a home for himself and his children.

"Father-in-law, my wife and children are still in the countryside. I will rush back." Zhao Erlang turned around and left in a hurry. Jiang Tianshi brought it upon herself and deserved to be locked up in isolation in the prison.

Jiang Tang sighed inwardly. His son-in-law had become estranged from him. He used to call him dad, but now he calls him father-in-law.

His eyes were somewhat dim, someone told him that the woman had given birth to a son, so he not only had a son but also a grandson. After all, grandchildren were not biological grandchildren, so they were always unreliable.

Jiang Tang had made up his mind. According to the laws of the Daye Dynasty, sons born out of wedlock had no inheritance rights, let alone the imperial examinations, so he had to be raised under the name of his wife.

Zhaojia Village, Zhaobei’s home.

As soon as Zhao Erlang entered the yard, he heard his daughter's voice: "What's going on? Grandpa actually has a son who is living away from home, and his son, daughter-in-law and grandchildren are coming back to recognize their ancestors?"

Zhao Erlang stopped in his tracks. This was a shocking piece of news. His mother-in-law had just been arrested and isolated in prison, and his father-in-law's son and grandson appeared on the scene.

Xiao Chunya's voice "Seven-year-old Jiang Ziheng is fine, he is a little smarter than ordinary children. That five-year-old Jiang Baochai is an amazing person, she is very good at everything, not only can she cook, but also can spin, weave, embroider, read, and do arithmetic. She can beat ten of me. From then on, grandpa only has eyes for them. My brother and I should be more sensible and persuade Dad and Mom to rent a house outside. We can't win against them, absolutely not."

"Where's grandma?"

Xiao Chunya said, "It turned out that grandma and grandpa divorced, and grandma took her share of the property back to her parents' home, and used her property to support her brother's family. After her money was spent, she was abandoned by the Tian family and finally starved to death on the roadside."

"My mother and my grandfather became enemies. My uncle would often make trouble to prevent my grandmother from giving her the property. My grandmother had to suffer this fate entirely because of herself."

Xiao Chunya suddenly burst out with a voice, "How can the son of a concubine have the right of inheritance? According to the laws of Daye, the status of a concubine's son is equivalent to that of a slave. Jiang Baochai still wants to beat me up, I will send her to jail first!"

"Wait, there's another big melon. Tian Bao's son was born to his wife who had an affair. He has been cuckolded for decades. He should know the truth before he dies."

Xiao Chunya said, "We must hurry up and expose this matter, so that grandma will not take the property back to support those people. As long as my mother takes out the legal books, grandpa will not dare to accept the illegitimate child openly. As long as my grandmother sues him, grandpa will go to jail. In the end, the inheritance right will still belong to my mother, she is the only legitimate daughter."

Jiang was already tired of hearing all this. How did she end up eating melons in her family? Her father actually had an illegitimate child, and he actually came to her house!

Prison

Tian Bao, who had been locked up for half a day, had collapsed. The doctor told him clearly that there was no way to cure him and he could live for three more days at most!

Jiang Tian had a mild infection and her illness could be cured, so she would be able to leave the prison in about seven days.

"I don't want to die, I want to live." Tian Bao muttered to himself, from roaring to crying and finally to despair and numbness. At this time, Zhao Erlang and Jiang came to the prison.

Zhao Erlang didn't want to talk, he stood aside and served as a background picture. He felt somewhat happy when he saw Tian Bao's current state.

"Mom, uncle."

Jiang Tianshi was startled when she spoke. Jiang Tianshi was shocked to see her daughter appear. "Yuniang, please ask Erlang to find a doctor. There should be other doctors with excellent medical skills in the county. Let the doctor treat your uncle."

"Mother, the doctor who treated my uncle was an imperial physician from the capital. My uncle was suffering from an epidemic. Even if he was cured, he would still be dragged out of the market and beheaded, because he knew that he could infect people but still ran around. This alone is enough to sentence him to death."

Jiang's voice was a little cruel. "Mother, you have committed a crime together. You will probably be dragged away and beaten with a stick after you recover. Father will use this as an excuse to divorce you because he has a son outside, and now both his son and grandson are back."

"What?" Jiang Tian was so angry that her body was shaking. How dare the old man treat her like this? "You...did you see it with your own eyes?"

"Yes, that man is called Jiang Ji. He has a seven-year-old son, Jiang Ziheng, and a five-year-old daughter, Jiang Baochai."
