Quick Transmigration: Leisure

“Uncle! What are you doing? My father has been gone for many years, how can I... acknowledge another father!” Xia Liangjun said with grief and indignation.

At his advanced age, he was forced by his uncle, whom he had only met twice in his childhood, to say such unfilial things in front of everyone! He was filled with grief and indignation.

Tian Chaoyu gripped Xia Liangjun's hand tightly, giving him strength.

She knew her husband didn't want to talk about the past, but he hadn't kept the details of the Xia family's past from her.

Seeing that Xia Liangjun had acknowledged his uncle's identity, he immediately recalled everything about this person.

The old man was thin, with murky, calculating eyes. His gaze swept over them with the coldness of someone picking out merchandise.

"Ahem! Second Brother Xia, you've misunderstood."

“He’s your second son, he should acknowledge me as his father!” The uncle said, a smug smile on his lips, seemingly certain that his son wouldn’t refuse.

"what!"

"impossible!"

While Xia Liangjun was stunned into a standstill by his uncle's even more shocking words, Tian Chaoyu instantly grasped the whole story, including the source of his uncle's and his group's confidence.

Immediately, she unleashed her powerful aura, attempting to scare away all the uninvited guests.

“Niece-in-law, you can’t just say that.”

The old man adopted a "woman, don't get involved" attitude, giving Tian Chaoyu a huge, cold look. But she wasn't intimidated at all, and instead showed even more exaggerated contempt.

"In this family, I'm the one who calls the shots!"

"How dare you speak to your elders like that!" The old man raised his voice, looking as if he was about to give a public lecture, leaving the villagers who were gradually gathering around completely bewildered.

What Madam Xia said is not wrong. In Heyang Village these days, whose family doesn't have the matriarch in charge?

If there is no matriarch or daughter in charge of the household, people will laugh at you.

However, Uncle Xia, who has been away from the village for many years, may indeed not have kept up with the customs.

Such customs in Heyang Village have only formed in the last one or two decades, mainly because there are too few daughters born in this area. Thirty years before that, the gentry and landlord families in this village, represented by the Xia family, absolutely followed the ancient system, regarding the husband as the supreme ruler, whose word was law.

Conflicting views

That's how the scene of the two of them fighting came about.

Seeing Uncle Xia arrogantly sizing up Xia Liangjun and intending to target the children, Tian Chaoyu stepped forward first and pointed the finger at the sore spot.

"What, is your concubine unable to bear children? Or are you impotent? Are you trying to steal my son?"

Upon hearing this, the onlookers were stunned, having never seen such a powerful rebuttal before.

Xia Liangjun reacted quickly and supported his wife's shoulders.

Then she leaned forward slightly to block the unfriendly stares. The four older children in the family surrounded their mother, each holding a weapon, ready to strike at any moment.

Xia Youmi protected Xia Youtian and hid behind her. She was confused about the situation and decided to wait for the adults to resolve it.

Even if things escalate to the point of a physical fight, she is not afraid.

I imagine that my uncle's family has already received the news and rushed over.

The uncle was so angry that he glared and pointed his trembling finger at Tian Chaoyu's nose and started cursing.

"What an ignorant and foolish woman! Not only have you ruined my family's fortune, but you've also failed to educate your children! You're simply awful!"

"you shut up!"

Xia Liangjun retorted immediately.

This was not because Tian Chaoyu was impolite, but because she had pieced together everything and understood the ugly purpose of Uncle Xia and the others' trip.

Not saying it out loud is purely to save face for my deceased parents-in-law and uncle.

"Hey! How dare you act so wildly!" One of the men next to Uncle patted his chest and tried to step forward to intimidate him, but he was blocked by the even taller Xia Yisong.

He felt as if there was a wall in front of him, making it impossible for him to see the direction of his opponent.

"Puch-"

The first burst of laughter that couldn't be contained came from the crowd, from the three Yu Lingling brothers who were the first to come and see what was going on.

His actions slightly dampened the momentum of Uncle Xia and his entourage.

But to do something like this requires an extraordinary thick skin. They quickly became immersed in their own world of righteous indignation, blocking out external interference.

“Godson, show them this.” Uncle Xia instructed another young man to bring over a red wooden tray with a piece of yellow paper tied with red silk cloth on it.

Xia Yisong's expression hardened, and his clenched fist trembled uncontrollably.

He was the only person in the family, besides his mother, who knew about the past from his father.

His eyes unconsciously glanced at Xia Yibai, somewhat afraid that his second brother, with whom he had competed and grown up, would really be taken back and called "father."

Like that

His only fear in life is losing his drive.

“Nephew, this is the contract with your father’s fingerprint on it.”

Do you recognize it?

Xia Liangjun remained motionless, his gaze fixed firmly on his uncle.

“I have never heard of this matter. My impression of you is only from the year you were dismissed from office, when you severed ties with our family.”

Xia Liangjun's words resonated with many present.

He wasn't stupid; once he got his thinking straight, he could quickly find a solution.

Taking advantage of his uncle's momentary daze, he added, "That year, I decided that we would never be related again."

"When have I ever disowned you!"

"If you yourself spread this, would you like me to help you recall it?"

Uncle Xia clearly didn't want to continue the conversation about the past, so he tapped the edge of the wooden plate and said:

"Hmph! You don't recognize me, so you don't recognize your father's contract either?"

As he spoke, he held up the yellow paper and swept it across the crowd.

Fearing that some people might not understand, he even had his godson read it aloud.

The contract stated that Xia Liangjun's father voluntarily gave one of his sons to his younger brother for adoption, and if he had fewer than three sons, he would give his grandson for adoption.

There are also the handprints of Xia Liangjun's parents and his two brothers on it.

"This matter has already been settled with my elder brother."

original,

Xia Liangjun also has an older brother.

The Uncle Xia in front of him was his father's younger brother and also his grandparents' favorite youngest son.

Unfortunately, he had few children.

He then set his sights on his older brother. Under pressure from his mother, Xia Liangjun's father agreed to give one of his children to his younger brother.

But he made a promise that he would have to have three sons.

As it turned out, his last child was a daughter, Xia Liangjun's younger sister.

Not only did he fail to fulfill his uncle's dream of adoption, but he also died young.

Therefore, this important task fell to the descendants of Xia Liangjun and his brothers.

The responsible eldest brother took the initiative to handle the matter, and when he had his first son, he wanted to give him to his uncle for adoption.

At this point, everyone verbally agreed that the child would be the one to settle the contract.

Despite her reluctance, the sister-in-law supported her brother's filial piety.

They didn't want their father to be caught in the middle and put in a difficult position.

Unexpectedly,

The uncle insisted on raising the child until he was seven years old before taking him away.

The elder brother's bond with his son deepened, and he felt regret, worry, and sadness. His sister-in-law was also unable to conceive a second child due to worry about her son.

An accident sent the three to their deaths.

At that time,

The uncle wanted to visit Xia Liangjun to ask him to take over the adoption, and Xia Yisong was born at that time.

But suddenly, one of the concubines became pregnant, and the doctor said it was a son.

Just then, Xia Liangjun was demoted and sent back to his hometown. In order to avoid getting involved in the compensation matter of their family, Uncle Xia kept his distance, fearing that the bad luck would be transferred to him.

This renewed attempt to rebuild relationships,

It was determined that the concubine's child had a problem.
