"What did you say? What kid?" Wang Lianqi pressed on, but Wang Guizhang crossed his arms, stiffened his neck, and turned away without a word.
Wang Lianqi went home with a belly full of confusion and asked his parents.
Both Wang Futang and Qu Cui looked bewildered.
"What nonsense are you talking about? The fourth child is your second uncle and aunt's kid, who else could he be? Back then, your aunt was pregnant for several months, everyone in the village saw it, it can't be wrong!" Wang Futang glared disapprovingly at his eldest son.
It was Qu Cui who, after frowning in thought for a while, hesitantly spoke, "Your aunt was at home during the whole pregnancy and delivery, there's no mistake..." As she spoke, she paused, stopping mid-sentence and just looking at the old man.
But Wang Futang kept his head down, smoking his pipe, not looking at her.
