"I'm not saying you have to, it's completely your own choice." Weilan worried that Uncle Qiao might be resistant, so she intentionally spoke of Aunt Fu's plight in a tragic manner: "Dad, Aunt Fu has been lonely for a long time, when she was young, she lost her child!"
Uncle Qiao was taken aback and instinctively looked towards Aunt Fu.
Weilan knew she needed to deliver a hard truth to prepare Uncle Qiao mentally.
"She lost a child?" Uncle Qiao asked in surprise, "Was it a boy or a girl?"
Weilan, fearing Uncle Qiao's sensitivity, replied, "I'm not really sure, it's not easy to ask about such things, it's a painful memory for her. Aunt Fu lost her child, was abused by her husband, then thrown out and divorced. She's been living alone and never remarried all these years."
"Did they find the child?" Uncle Qiao asked.
