Tian Tian pointed at Tian Zhigao, "Although I've never met your biological father, I can guess from your appearance..."
“Your father has prominent brow bones, thick eyebrows and lips, a flat nose, and high cheekbones.”
Tian Tian pointed out some features on Tian Zhigao's face and said.
These facial features are all controlled by dominant genes; Tian Zhigao is like this, and his father must be too.
The villagers all began to scrutinize Tian Zhigao, and even the Tian family members joined in staring at him.
Tian Jingming and Tian Jingan also stood on tiptoe...
People were discussing it...
Has anyone seen his father?
“I’ve met her. Wang Yulan is from the same village as my wife. We’ve met her ex-husband before... although it’s been a long time, he does look like Tian Zhigao.”
"Tian Zhigao looks like this, his father must look similar to him."
"That's right, but that doesn't prove anything."
"No, that's not true. Think about it, what do Tian Zhiyuan and Tian Zhicheng look like..."
Tian Tian smiled and said, "What I just said is what my father passed down to his son."
She looked at Tian Zhongqing, "And Tian Zhongqing looks exactly the opposite. His brow bone is normal, his nose bridge is average, his eyebrows are normal, his nose is high and straight, and his cheekbones are normal."
"That's why my father and Tian Zhicheng both followed Tian Zhongqing!"
“My father and mother passed on these traits to my younger brother, Jinghe, when they got married.”
"Tian Zhigao passed on his characteristics to Tian Jingwen."
"But Tian Zhicheng doesn't have these characteristics, so how could he have passed them on to Tian Jingming and Tian Jing'an?"
Tian Tian looked at the crowd and said, "If you don't believe me, you can look at your own sons."
"Look at these characteristics I've mentioned, aren't they similar to those of father and son?"
Upon hearing this, the villagers all looked at their fathers or sons.
"It's true. I have high brow bones, my son has high brow bones, and my wife has normal brow bones."
"My nose is flat, my dad's nose is flat, but my mom's nose isn't flat."
“My cheekbones aren’t high, my son’s cheekbones aren’t high either, but my daughter-in-law’s are, and she looks mean.”
"My family is the same..."
"Is that really true..."
"My God, Tian Jingming and Tian Jing'an really aren't Tian Zhicheng's children?!"
"This is just too tragic!"
“Tian Jingming is nine years old, and Tian Jingan is seven years old.”
"So... besides Tian Zhiyuan... Tian Zhicheng is also a great victim. He passed the imperial examination and became a scholar, which benefited the whole family, but in the end... his wife wasn't his, and his son wasn't his either."
"And what about Master Tian? He only has Tian Jing and his own grandson, and they've severed all ties with him!"
"Hey, hey, do you guys still remember what Tian Tian said that day when we severed ties?"
"I remember that girl said... the real jinx of the Tian family is Wang!"
"Now it seems... it really is the Wang family!"
"If Tian Zhongqing hadn't married her, none of this would have happened today."
"Ha ha..."
The villagers' discussions were like sharp knives piercing the hearts of everyone in the Tian family.
"Let's go back! Let's go back!" Tian Zhongqing shouted, leading the way out of the crowd.
Wang Yulan followed, "Old man."
Tian Zhigao walked around Tian Zhicheng, chasing after Wang Yulan, calling out, "Mother..."
Tian Tian shouted at them, "What? You're not going to produce any evidence to prove that my business stole your recipe?"
The Tian family members left in a flash, not daring to look back.
"Since there is no evidence, don't come to my house to cause trouble again."
After the Tian family left, the villagers felt a little awkward and left with some forced laughter...
Tian Bonian turned to look at Tian Tian, his expression somewhat complicated.
As the village chief, he certainly didn't want such a thing to happen in the village.
But... since the second son's family went too far, he couldn't blame Tian Tian.
"Since everything's alright, I'm leaving too." That was all he could say in the end.
Liu San Niang: "Village Chief, take care."
She opened the courtyard gate, went inside, and pulled Lu Tao and Tian Tian into the house.
"Judging from the village chief's expression, he probably wasn't very happy either," she said. "Tian Zhongqing is, after all, his own second brother."
Lu Tao was still in a daze when she said, "Ah...yes, it's his second brother."
Liu San Niang glanced at her helplessly, then turned and pulled Tian Tian, "Tian Tian, are you telling the truth?"
"That Tian Zhigao... he can't be that much of a jerk, can he?"
As she said this, Liu Sanniang glanced at Lu Tao again, "Those two...don't have to do anything at Old Tian's house, it's all done by your father and mother..."
"Everything we eat and use is thanks to Tian Zhicheng..."
"How dare he do such a thing?"
Lu Tao snapped out of her daze. "Yes, how could he dare?"
Liu San Niang: "Sister Lu, didn't you find anything under your eaves?"
Lu Tao looked up, bewildered, and said, "I don't know. Zhiyuan and I...we went out to work before dawn and didn't go back until nightfall..."
Liu San Niang also realized this, "Then...you really don't know."
She sighed deeply, "I...I really can't understand it, I really can't understand it."
Lu Tao looked at her, equally puzzled.
Liu San Niang suddenly suppressed a laugh and nudged Lu Tao's arm, "But, Sister Lu, didn't you already open your own accounts?"
Lu Tao nodded. After seeing Uncle Tian, he went to the county government office and reopened an account for their family.
Tian Bonian brought back several household registration documents for them to carry with them as proof of their identity.
“Then you have nothing to do with Tian Zhongqing. Jinghe... is his only grandson.”
She was quite gloating, "I'm afraid he's kicking himself right now."
Tian Tian snorted coldly, "He won't regret it. He'll only think that our family made him lose face."
"Tian Zhicheng is only in his thirties, he can still have a grandson."
Liu San Niang stared wide-eyed in disbelief, "Tian Tian, you're not saying... Tian Zhongqing will suppress this matter and the family will continue living together?"
"He's willing... but would Tian Zhicheng be willing?"
Although Tian Tian hadn't had much contact with the Tian family, based on what she'd learned over the past few days, she said confidently, "What can he do if he doesn't want to?"

"Zhicheng, what do you think?"
At the Tian family's house, a group of people were kneeling on the ground.
Tian Zhigao, Guo Xiuyun, Tian Jingming, Tian Jingan, and Wang Xiuying, who collapsed from crying.
However, the final decision was left to Tian Zhicheng, the victim.
"Father!!" Tian Zhicheng stomped his feet in anger. He was a scholar, and many people would feel ashamed to even say it out loud.
He pointed at himself, "I'm a green-haired turtle now, and you still want me to shrink my head?"
“That girl is talking nonsense. As long as we don’t admit it, this matter can be resolved by talking about it!” Tian Zhongqing said with a stern face.
"If you admit it, our Tian family will lose all face!"
