As he spoke, he took the lead in entering the main room.
The Village Chief and Gu Qingli followed.
Several onlookers from outside followed them in and stood at the entrance of the main room; unusually, Ms. Hua hadn't come.
Gu Qingli glanced at the people who followed and saw the Village Chief's elder brother among them. She called out, "Grandpa Gu, please come in and have a seat."
Grandpa Gu nodded and came in.
The Village Chief, his elder brother Grandpa Gu, and Master Gu sat down, while Gu Qingli remained standing.
Master Gu took out his tobacco pipe, lit the dry tobacco, and said slowly, "Grandpa Gu, Second, you don't need to stare at me like that. I'll tell you the truth today. My second son isn't our biological child. Everyone knows he was born at Ms. Hua's parents' house, right? Our real son died at birth. We found this child on our way back home. Seeing how pitiful the child was, and having just lost a son ourselves, we decided to bring him back and raise him.
