She blinked her big eyes repeatedly, as if trying to confirm the yellow, wrinkled "handkerchief" in front of her that looked like a rag...
Can it really be used to wipe away tears?
Grandma Tian was still sobbing. Grandpa Tian had wanted to let her leave, but seeing her crying, he felt sorry for her and hurriedly tried to comfort her.
"Don't cry, don't cry, my dear wife, don't cry!"
When Grandma Tian heard him call her "wife," she cried even more bitterly.
Old Master Tian couldn't stand it anymore.
He gave the soldiers standing on both sides a look, signaling them to come over and separate the people.
Soldiers, come here quickly!
Old Mrs. Tian and Old Mr. Tian were each grabbed by a soldier and forcibly separated. Old Mr. Tian shouted anxiously, and Old Mrs. Tian hurriedly reached out to pull him away.
Too bad, I missed it!
Wen, Tian Lao Er, and Tian Lao Si were also furious when they saw this!
The three of them immediately wanted to go and take their parents back.
But as soon as he got up, he was stopped by other officers and soldiers.
These soldiers, all armed with wooden sticks, surrounded the three Wen family members menacingly, with the leading soldier even trying to intimidate them...
But at this moment...
Qian Bao and his brothers rushed up quickly.
The brothers flanked the officers and soldiers from the outside, wielding broadswords!
The prefect, who had remained seated silently in the high hall, finally lost his composure and slammed his gavel!
"All of you, step back!"
He wanted Qian Bao's brothers and soldiers to all withdraw, but Qian Bao's brothers completely ignored him!
The officers and soldiers, however, obediently put away their wooden sticks.
The prefect wasn't stupid; he didn't want to involve other officers and soldiers over Tian Laoda's trivial matter, so he gave Tian Laoda a meaningful look.
Old Tian quickly came over to persuade him.
"Don't worry, we won't hurt you two. We just want to get things done quickly, which is why we resorted to this!"
Wen retorted angrily, “You chain your father up with iron chains all over his body, and this is what you mean by not causing harm?”
Old Master Tian was slightly taken aback.
He quickly explained, "You've misunderstood. The reason we lock him up is because he often goes crazy and runs around!"
"We're protecting him too!"
The Tian family did not know where Old Man Tian had been imprisoned for so many years, but they could tell from his thin and tattered clothes that it was definitely not a good place!
Old Tian is clearly just making excuses.
Old Mrs. Tian couldn't help but roar, "You damned bastard, that's your father! Your own father who gave birth to you and raised you!"
How could you treat him like this?
She was about to continue cursing when Boss Tian suddenly interrupted her.
"You can eat whatever you want, but you can't say whatever you want!"
The Tian family members were already furious, and hearing his words almost made them explode!
The old woman hissed and cursed, "You heartless wretch! Even animals recognize their parents, but you, now that you've made it big, don't even recognize your own parents!"
You're worse than an animal!
So angry was the old lady that she forgot all her usual curses and just kept cursing that they were worse than animals!
She was so dizzy from shouting that she was almost falling to the ground if the soldiers hadn't been holding her up!
But Tian Laoda wasn't angry at all.
It's as if Old Lady Tian wasn't scolding him at all!
He calmly glanced at the prefect in the hall, who nodded slightly to him as if to hint at something.
The prefect understood and glanced at the officers and soldiers beside him.
The officers and soldiers immediately retreated.
When the soldiers returned, they had two more bowls in their hands.
One of them was a water bowl, and the other was an empty bowl. He poured some water from the water bowl into the empty bowl and shouted loudly to the farmers.
"Look carefully at everything!"
The Tian family paused, then turned to look at him, only to see that he had finished one of the bowls of water.
The Tian family members were somewhat puzzled.
Then I heard the officer say...
"I drank the water poured from this bowl. You all saw it just now. There's absolutely nothing wrong with the water."
After saying that, he placed the bowl with water still on the table in the middle and looked at Boss Tian.
"You go first!"
Tian Laoda responded, quickly walked over, picked up the silver needle next to the bowl, pricked his index finger, and squeezed out a drop of blood into the bowl of water.
After he finished squeezing out the blood, the officers glanced at Officer B, who was pulling Old Man Tian along.
Officer B immediately dragged Old Man Tian over, and also took out a silver needle and pricked Old Man Tian's index finger, squeezing out a drop of blood into the bowl.
What are they trying to do?
Without anyone saying a word, the Tian family understood that it was a blood test to determine kinship!
The soldiers who had been holding onto Old Lady Tian came over shortly after.
He wasn't going to give Old Lady Tian acupuncture; he just wanted her to watch the water bowl.
Two drops of blood, belonging to Tian Laoda and Tian Laotou, were dripped into the bowl of water. If the two were father and son, their blood would mix.
But if the opposite is true...
That would be like the two drops of blood in the bowl of water right now, each falling to the bottom of the bowl without interfering with the other!
Although Grandma Tian didn't understand medicine, she understood the principle of "blood kinship testing," and she was stunned when she saw it.
How is that possible?
Old Tian was the child she carried for ten months and gave birth to, and she had only ever been with Old Tian in her entire life!
How could Tian Laoda not be a descendant of the Tian family?
Grandma Tian felt there was definitely something wrong with this!
She shouted, "Impossible! The eldest son is the child I carried for ten months and risked my life to give birth to. He is definitely a Tian family child!"
As he spoke, he also said to Boss Tian.
"When I was pregnant with you, your father fell off a mountain and fell into a coma. I went to the temple to pray for him while I was heavily pregnant, but I tripped and fell..."
"At that time, I had signs that I was about to give birth."
"Fortunately, a kind person who knew how to deliver babies helped me to the temple's backyard with the help of several other women, intending to assist me in giving birth..."
"It turns out your baby is breech..."
“I was in labor for a whole day and night and I couldn’t give birth to you. I was about to run out of strength when the lady next door who had just given birth heard the noise and asked her midwife to come and take a look.”
"Fortunately, that lady's midwife knew how to correct the baby's position. It was she who helped me correct the baby's position, which allowed me to give birth to you smoothly!"
"After giving birth to you, the midwife breathed a heavy sigh of relief."
"She said that if it had been any later, both my daughter and I would have been killed!"
As the old woman spoke, tears streamed down her face.
She almost risked her life to give birth to Tian Laoda back then. How could Tian Laoda not be a child of her Tian family!
"you…"
Old Mrs. Tian felt a lump in her throat, and just as she was about to continue recounting what happened back then, she suddenly seemed to remember something…
It stopped abruptly.
My thoughts drifted back to those days…
She clearly remembered that after giving birth to Tian Laoda, she had fainted for a period of time due to exhaustion, and when she woke up again…
The midwife who delivered her baby had already left.
Moreover, the room where Grandma Tian was was very quiet, as if there was no one else besides her.
What about her child?
Grandma Tian immediately became anxious and, ignoring her physical pain, got up to look for her child.
Just then, she heard the cry of a baby beside her. She quickly looked over and saw that the child was right next to her.
She quickly picked up the child and gently coaxed him.
A woman outside heard the noise and pushed the door open to come in.
Only then did Old Lady Tian learn that the midwife had gone down the mountain with her wife after helping her give birth!
The woman who stayed behind was the kind woman who had originally delivered her baby.
The woman said she was worried that since the child was still asleep, there would be no one to look after him and something might happen, so she stayed to help take care of him temporarily.
Now that Old Lady Tian has woken up, she has left!
Grandma Tian thanked the woman profusely, hugged her eldest son Tian, and watched the woman leave before quickly packing her things to go home.
