Before the house was raided, the maidservant of the Prime Minister's residence absconded with t

When Wang heard that her husband wanted to spend money to buy pork, she immediately started to complain, "Husband, why should we spend money to buy pork? We don't have that much money left."

The family's money must be saved for the fourth son. He still needs to pass the imperial examination and cultivate relationships with officials. How can we waste money?

"It's not like we're buying pork from someone else; why should we spend money on pork from our own son's family?"

"Shut up, you ignorant woman! It's because you're biased that Da Niu has suffered so much!"

Otherwise, why would such a filial child do this?

If you treat Da Niu better, he won't doubt his origins!

Liu Laogen loudly reprimanded his wife, but in his heart he regretted that he should not have let his wife abuse their eldest son like that, to the point that things had now reached an irreparable state.

"Just because she's a young girl, she says her father isn't our biological father, so he isn't?"

That brat is spouting nonsense, she just makes things up. Liu Daniu is the one I carried for ten months and gave birth to.

Now that he's successful and independent, he doesn't want to take care of us old folks anymore.

They even fabricated a story that we weren't their biological parents. How malicious! You ungrateful wretches, a whole family of ungrateful wretches!

Instead of panicking, Wang intensified her cursing.

She thought that as long as she didn't admit it, she couldn't do anything to her!

"You little brat, you've been possessed by evil spirits. You've come back to destroy the Liu family, haven't you?"

Since you came back, you've turned our Liu family into a complete mess.

Even the most obedient eldest son has become unruly, and now the second son's family has also started to rebel.

It's all your fault!

Wang Shi started cursing at Tao'er like a madwoman.

"Old woman!"

You're the crazy one. You've done all sorts of bad things and are utterly devoid of conscience.

Otherwise, why did your fourth child fail the exam so many times?

This is divine retribution for what God couldn't bear to see!

Qingge couldn't stand it anymore and started cursing.

Tao'er gave her a thumbs up, "Qingge is absolutely right!"

The villagers still believe in ghosts and gods, so they will definitely believe Qingge's words.

Everyone looked at Wang Shi and began to believe Qing Ge's words to some extent.

They started whispering and discussing it amongst themselves.

"What Qingge said seems to make sense."

"you do not say!

"The fourth son of the Liu family has taken the imperial examinations for so many years, but he still hasn't passed and become a Juren."

"I think it's because Wang did so many immoral things that her son is now being punished."

"I think what Tao Yatou said earlier makes sense. Maybe Da Niu really isn't Wang's biological son."

"That makes sense. Look at the Liu family's eldest son; the men are all handsome and the women are all beautiful. They don't look like the Liu family's offspring at all."

"Shut up, all of you! What nonsense are you spouting!"

This is a matter between the Liu family, so you shouldn't be gossiping about it here!

Otherwise, I'll have my son sue you all in the county government!

Wang's face suddenly turned fierce, and everyone stopped.

"retribution?"

Wang's face turned pale, but she still stubbornly turned her head to argue with Tao'er.

"What do you know, you little brat!"

The fourth brother was just unlucky; what does that have to do with retribution?

Liu Laogen slapped his thigh suddenly, "Enough! How long are you going to keep this up?!"

He took a deep breath, turned to Da Niu, and his voice suddenly sounded much older, "Eldest brother... your mother really did something wrong."

I'm so sorry you've suffered all these years!

Your younger sister, Jiaojiao, isn't in good health; she's in a lot of pain.

The fourth son is good at studying, and I've focused all my attention on him, neglecting you. That's wrong of me.

Don't blame us, your parents, but you have to believe that we really are your biological father and mother!

Liu Daniu clenched his fists, his eyes reddening. "Dad, can you erase all the grievances I've suffered over the years just by saying you ignored me?"

Did it also harm my wife and children?

Every penny I've earned over the years has gone into this family.

When my wife gave birth, she couldn't even bear to kill a chicken, but my mother said that since my fourth son needed to go to school, she sold all the old hens in the house to get money...

I could never forget these things!

"That's for your fourth brother's future!"

For the glory of our Liu family.

What are you complaining about?

Wang said urgently.

Tao'er suddenly spoke up, her voice clear and bright, "Grandma, you and Grandpa shouldn't talk about these trivial things."

I'm just asking you, is my father your biological son?

She's going to force those two old geezers to admit it today.

"You brat, I've said it eight hundred times, your father is our biological son!"

He's my son, so what if I want to hit or scold him?

Even if the emperor came, he couldn't do anything about it!

Who would dare say anything when it comes to disciplining one's own children?

You're a good-for-nothing, you have no right to interfere in your elders' affairs.

Wang roared fearlessly.

"You're saying my father is your biological son?"

Do you know where my father has a birthmark?

And what year, month, and hour was my father born?

Was it raining or sunny when my dad was born?

Who was the midwife hired when my father was born?

Where is the head of the household?

Tao'er immediately launched into a series of questions.

All eyes were on Wang's face.

Her lips trembled, her eyes darting around. "I...I don't remember. It's been so long, how could I possibly remember what time your father was born?"

"Okay, even if you don't remember the exact time, you must remember the year!"

Tao'er pressed closer and closer.

"The year of Wuxu, I suppose!"

After hesitating for a moment, Wang said.

"How old is my dad this year?"

Tao'er was neither in a hurry nor in a rush.

"Probably forty-two!"

Wang looked guilty and was sweating profusely!

Tao'er sneered, "Then what about the midwife that Mother hired?"

"Old Zhang from Peach Blossom Village next door!"

Anyway, that old woman is already dead, so there's no way to verify anything!

"Fellow villagers, my father is clearly forty-five years old this year, and he wasn't born in the year of Wuxu, but in the year of Jiazi."

Furthermore, Granny Zhang from Peach Blossom Village hasn't delivered babies in fifty years.

She broke her arm and hasn't delivered babies since.

"What? I remembered wrong. I gave birth at home by myself, without a midwife. It's been so long since my birth that I've forgotten!"

Upon hearing this, Wang immediately changed her mind.

Tao'er didn't expect that with just a casual trick, Wang Shi would be exposed.

In fact, she didn't know Granny Zhang at all; she just made up a reason.

"Ha ha!

That's hilarious!

Granny Zhang never broke her hand, Wang Shi, how could you believe that?

Then she changed her story and said that she gave birth to the child herself and did not hire a midwife.

Do you really think you can fool my dad with such an obviously clumsy act?

Are we still going to deceive our fellow villagers?

"Peach girl, your grandma is talking nonsense here. She's not thinking straight."

I'll take her back right now and stop her from causing trouble!

"Your father is our own son, you should believe what Grandpa says!"

The eldest son's family is now at its peak; we can't let them go so easily.

If the fourth and third brothers can't be relied on in the future, there will still be a way out.

Liu Laogen pulled Wang Shi away.

"Grandpa, don't be in such a hurry to leave. This matter hasn't been sorted out yet!"

If I don't figure out my dad's background today, he probably won't be able to sleep tonight.

I don't believe a single word you said.
