Chapter 358 Gradually Clear
The photo that Lu Nanshen gave to Xu Yan was Duan Ning.

Xu Yan is Tian Dayu's third brother and is most familiar with Tian Dayu. However, after seeing Duan Ning's photo, he acted like a stranger. At best, he looked familiar but it did not come from knowing him.

This is enough to prove that the Duan Ning outside has indeed replaced Tian Dayu's identity, and the real Tian Dayu is indeed gone.

"Xu Yan is very concerned about Tian Dayu's situation. He knows that he is having a hard time outside and hopes that he can return to the village." Lu Nanshen leaned lazily on the chair. Even so, he was still a fairy, detached and free and easy. "This is the reaction a normal person should have."

In this comparison, Aunt Tian’s attitude is even more problematic.

Nian Baixiao and Fang Sheng went to Aunt Tian's house, and they became familiar with each other the second time. As long as Nian Baixiao was not in a cold state, he would be very outgoing. Not only did he chop a lot of firewood for Aunt Tian's family, he also made Aunt Tian very happy, and her illness seemed to have improved a lot.

Fang Sheng chatted with Aunt Tian. Aunt Tian felt very sorry for their help. Fang Sheng comforted her, "We are good friends with Dayu. If it weren't for him, we wouldn't know there is such a beautiful place as Meitang Village. Now that we are in his territory, shouldn't we help him take care of you?"

"Aunt Tian told us that Dayu was very sensible and likable when he was a child. But when she talked about the reason why Tian Dayu left the village, she seemed evasive, or at least did not give a convincing reason." Fang Sheng informed everyone of the situation.

Before they set off, they all spoke the same language. Nian Baixiao naturally used the same excuse as Lu Nanshen to mention Tian Dayu's father. "There's no portrait of him on the wall. Aunt Tian never mentioned him. Even if she did, it was just ironic."

At that time, they mentioned that Tian Dayu left the village because of his father's influence. Aunt Tian's face was full of obvious sarcasm, and she said, "It's his father? It's good that he didn't bring bad kids with him."

Aunt Tian gave people a very gentle impression, and because of her illness, she looked very weak. However, when she mentioned Tian Dayu's father, her face showed instinctive disgust, and her words were rude.

Perhaps she realized that her attitude was too much, so she said to them, "Don't get me wrong, I'm not targeting you two."

In the end, not much was said about Tian's father.

Fang Sheng brought up the matter of notifying Dayu to return to the village. Aunt Tian's attitude was still very firm. She said that leaving the village was Dayu's choice and she could not drag the child down. She also asked them to relax and said that as long as she was in Meitang Village, the people here would take care of her.

Aunt Tian appears to be doing this for Tian Dayu's own good, but in reality her cold attitude is in stark contrast to Xu Yan's.

Chen Yezhou visited the Xu family's wife, and after meeting her, he came to the same conclusion as Lu Nanshen. "It's hard to get the secrets of Meitang Village from her. We initially thought that the Xu family was an independent household, but we didn't expect that there were many Xu family members in Meitang Village, and some of them were also married to the Tian family. They are considered a community of interests, and they all prosper together and suffer together."

This is the last thing they want to see.

So Chen Yezhou changed his policy and approached the lady of the Xu family under the pretext of being a drunkard, and lamented that if this good wine fell into the hands of others, he would make money.

Mrs. Xu is not after money. She laughed and said, "No matter how much gold and silver you have, it's useless in Meitang Village."

It's not that the RMB cannot be circulated in Meitang Village, and everyone recognizes the money, but in this place, it is more about bartering, or circulating small change, gold jewelry, etc.

However, Chen Yezhou also made a significant achievement. He confirmed the name of Tian Dayu's father, which was indeed Tian Guangyi. There was no other person named Tian Guangyi in the entire Meitang Village.

Although Xu Yan did not mention Tian Guangyi's name, he did not deny it when Hang Si mentioned this name. In addition, once Chen Yezhou confirmed it, the relationship between Duan Ning and Tian Dayu could be confirmed.

"So we can come up with a timeline." Lu Nanshen summarized, "In Meitang Village, marriages are arranged by parents and matchmakers. Tian Guangyi left the village to avoid a child marriage. After leaving the village, he might not have the courage to go too far, or he might have met a girl he liked. In any case, he didn't go any further. Not wanting the girl to get pregnant, Tian Guangyi fled back to Meitang Village and fulfilled the promise of the child marriage." With this sort of thinking, all the clues can basically be connected.

Duan Ning and Tian Dayu's ages also match.

"And Auntie Tian's attitude towards Tian Guangyi is understandable." Hang Si still made the chair very thick, and it was very warm to curl up in it. "No woman can accept that her partner ran away from marriage."

Fang Sheng threw peanuts into his mouth. "I definitely can't stand it. Besides, this kind of person is so annoying. If you can get married, get married. If you don't want to get married, just say so. Why are you running away?"

Nian Baixiao looked up at her.

Fang Sheng saw him looking at her, puzzled, "Did I say something wrong?"

Nian Baixiao smiled, "I definitely won't run away."

Fang Sheng nearly choked on the peanuts and turned his head away to drink water, looking unnatural.

The people around him were suddenly fed with dog food. Hang Si couldn't help laughing. Good job, Nian Baixiao, the straight man is very smart once he gets the hang of things.

I don't know if Lu Nanshen felt like he was eating dog food, but his attention was still on the clue. He said, "The marriage customs in Meitang Village are still very traditional. The younger generation dare not easily resist the decisions of the elders. It's like in feudal society, where marriages are not autonomous and whether the other party is a human or a dog is entirely up to luck."

"Also," he continued, handing over the peeled sweet potato in his hand.

Nian Baixiao hurriedly reached out to take it.

Unexpectedly, the sweet potato passed him and was handed to Hang Si. Nian Baixiao frowned and looked at Lu Nanshen, why did he value women over friendship?
Lu Nanshen automatically ignored his dissatisfaction, "Auntie Tian knows what Tian Guangyi did outside. In this case, anyone would feel resentful towards their husband."

Hang Si held the peeled sweet potato in one hand. It was full of sugar, and the peeled part was caramel-colored, which looked sweet. She followed Lu Nanshen's train of thought and continued, "So Duan Ning must have come to see Aunt Tian."

It's impossible that Tian Guangyi took the initiative to confess this matter. Since he was able to escape back to Meitang Village, it means that he intended to keep this matter to himself. Aunt Tian has never left Meitang Village. The only possibility is that Duan Ning came to find her.

Nian Baixiao suddenly realized, "Duan Ning was seen by Xu Yan when he came to Meitang Village."

Chen Yezhou nodded, "That's the only reason. I asked Mrs. Xu indirectly, and she said that there was an outsider who came to Meitang Village before. There were no vacant rooms at that time, so the outsider lived in Aunt Tian's house."

Aunt Tian's house has wing rooms. When they visited there before, they also observed the layout of the house and found that there was indeed room for others to live in.

"It is Duan Ning without a doubt, and Duan Ning's target is Aunt Tian." Chen Yezhou made an affirmative judgment.

In short, Duan Ning should have told Tian Guangyi about it at that time. It is unclear what kind of deal he reached with Aunt Tian, ​​but in the end he took away Tian Dayu's identity.

Several people made a preliminary calculation of the time when Duan Ning appeared in Meitang Village, which happened to be when Tian Dayu had just gotten into trouble.
