Eating big melon is so refreshing
Chapter 27: Litigation
Seven days later, Jiang Tian left the prison. As expected, Jiang Tang asked Jiang Tian to acknowledge his illegitimate son but was rejected.
Jiang Tian felt that her husband had betrayed her, and her brother's death had driven her crazy. She scolded Jiang Ji's family so badly that the whole village came to watch.
The men in the village envied Jiang Tang for having a son, but at the same time they despised Jiang Tang for being too picky. Why did he choose a maid to give birth to a son? Isn't the son of a slave still a slave?
"If you keep making trouble, we will divorce you!" Jiang Tang was also a man who cared about his reputation, so he spoke out his thoughts in anger.
"I'm not afraid of you!" Jiang Tianshi is now like a fire-breathing dragon, she will spit fire when she sees something she is unhappy with. Jiang Tang dared to threaten her, so she turned around and sued Jiang Tang. After more than 20 years of marriage, they tore their faces in court and broke off their relationship!
The county magistrate ruled that Jiang Tang's property was divided into three parts, with Jiang Tang, Tian and Jiang each getting one part. Jiang Ji, as a concubine's son, had no right of inheritance. According to the law, his descendants could not take the imperial examinations within three generations!
In court
Tian Bao's will almost drove Mrs. Tan crazy. Her son's background was exposed, and as the descendant of a convicted official, he would not be allowed to take the imperial examinations for three generations!
Tan hated Tian so much. It was this old woman who had sowed discord between them. This old woman must not die well! Tan stared at Tian fiercely with her scarlet eyes. Just as Tian walked down the stone steps, she bumped into him. Tian missed a step and hit his head heavily on the stone steps. Blood gushed out and he died on the spot.
"How dare you!" The county magistrate was furious. "Take this shrew and put her in jail!" She actually dared to kill someone in front of him. It was simply lawless. This shrew's son and grandson were probably not good people either. They must be taught a lesson to prevent them from doing evil and harming the people.
Tan had an iron chain put around her head and was dragged away like a dead dog, making creepy noises all the way. She had killed Tian, and no one could stop her son and grandson from dividing the Tian family's property.
Jiang Tang glanced coldly at Tian who was lying on the ground. After more than 20 years of marriage, they had come to the point where they were disgusted with each other. He left without any hesitation.
A bolt from the blue!
A bolt of lightning struck Jiang Tang, who was three feet away. He fell headfirst and could never get up again. Jiang Ji, who was standing next to him, turned pale and took two steps back in fear.
"God bless you! It's the first time I've seen a living person killed by lightning."
"Divorcing your original wife for a concubine is something that even God cannot tolerate."
"Mother!" Jiang squeezed in and threw herself towards Tian who was lying in a pool of blood, and burst into tears.
"Who did it?" As soon as Zhao Erlang saw the posture of Tian falling, he knew that someone pushed her down the stone steps from behind and killed her on the spot.
"It's that crazy woman Tan. She's been taken to jail." Someone in the crowd kindly replied, "
Your father-in-law was just struck by lightning."
Zhao Erlang felt a darkness before his eyes. He never expected that his father-in-law and mother-in-law, two old enemies, would end up like this. It became famous throughout the entire Huangyang County!
★★★
Thirty miles away in Zhaojia Village, Xiao Qiu looked up at the sky and sighed in his heart.
Jiang Tang and Jiang Tian were supposed to die in a mudslide on their third-day bathing day, but their sister's big melon saved them from the disaster. They didn't expect that four years later, their fate would end like this.
If Jiang Tang hadn't died, he would have used filial piety to suppress Jiang's concession to Jiang Ji. If Tian hadn't died, she would have used filial piety to suppress Jiang's support for the Tian family. Zhao Erlang and Jiang would have disagreements due to various conflicts and finally divorce. Xiao Chunya and Xiao Qiulin would have been separated, one following his father and the other following his mother.
Xiao Qiulin would not accept such an outcome. As a heavenly master, he could trace the source and nip the seeds of disaster in the bud, so Jiang Tang and Tian must die!
"Brother, what are you looking at?" Xiao Chunya came over and looked up at the sky shoulder to shoulder with him. There was nothing in the sky except a big white cloud!
The family's grain had been stored in the warehouse and the soybeans had just been planted. It was time for the annual military service again. This time, Zhao Silang rushed to go. The service location was to dig a canal near Gaojia Village for fifteen days.
Zhao Silang's wife, Gao, was from Gaojia Village, so Gao had the opportunity to return to her parents' home and live there for half a month openly.
In this dynasty, married women could only go back to their parents' home with their husbands the day before the New Year or other festivals. They were not allowed to visit their parents' home at will at other times, even if they lived in the same village!
Zhao Ming opened a private school in the village to teach children basic education, and he only accepted eight children because he still had to prepare for the imperial examination and could not waste all his energy on teaching.
Zhao Qi, grandson of Zhao Dong, Zhao Yan, grandson of Zhao Xi, Zhao Chang, grandson of Zhao Nan, and Zhao Daniu, grandson of Zhao Bei, occupied four places at once.
There was an old scholar in Xiaohe Village. He recruited students and charged one or two taels of silver for each month's tuition. This did not include the cost of writing brushes, inkstones, books, and food. Therefore, people who did not have any money at home could not go to
Private school.
The private school opened by Zhao Ming was more like a service for his own sons and nephews. Among the eight students, four were cousins, three were nephews, and the last one was a son. No one else could get in.
Xiao Chunya was bored and went to inquire. She learned that Zhao Ming's private school only charged 800 coins per month. He copied the "Three Character Classic" by himself and sold it for only 100 coins. If he went to a bookstore in the county to buy it, it would cost 300 coins per copy.
"Fat sister."
The five-year-old Erniu brought Sanniu and Daqing and said, "Where are we going to play today?"
It rained heavily last night and the temperature dropped several degrees. Today's weather is suitable for going out and playing.
"Let's go to Third Grandpa's orchard to help weed." Xiao Chunya clearly wanted to eat fruit. In addition to citrus trees, Third Grandpa's orchard also grew a loquat and a papaya.
The elder leading the team was Zhao Wulang. He said a word to Third Grandpa as he passed by his house, then led a group of little kids to the orchard.
There is only a small hill in Zhaojia Village, with only 15 acres of land. Zhao Nan's family has 10 acres, and the village chief's family has 5 acres. One family mainly grows citrus, and the other mainly grows apples, pears, and peaches.
Sanniu and Daqing are only three years old. When they walk, Xiao Chunya and Xiao Qiulin hold one of them. As for the five-year-old naughty kid Erniu, he also has to hold his three-year-old brother Sanniu. Then Zhao Wulang walks freely.
After crossing a relatively flat land, we started climbing the mountain. The mountain road was not rugged, but it was narrow, and the thorns growing on the side could easily get caught on our clothes or prick our hands, which was very painful.
"Hiss" Xiao Chunya asked her fifth uncle and learned that the small red fruits growing on thorny vines are edible, so she reached out to pick one, but was pricked by the thorns.
"Does it hurt?" Zhao Wulang said with a smile, "This juice is sweet. It's okay to drink one or two. If you drink too much, you will get a sore throat and a nosebleed."
Xiao Chunya ate the small red fruit. It tasted very familiar. Now she was sure that it was wolfberry!
