In a small quiet village, there was a man named Li and his wife Xia. Their life changed wh
en they began arguing often. One day, after a big fight, Xia left home and didn't return f
or six months. When she finally came back, she was pregnant.Li happily believed the baby w
as his. He thought Xia had visited him a few times during those six months, so the child m
ust be theirs. But villagers started whispering. Some said, "The baby isn't Li's. It's his
younger brother Ming's child."Ming had always acted strangely around Xia. People saw them
talking secretly behind houses or walking alone near the river. Their closeness made othe
rs suspicious. Worse still, Li and Ming's relationship was unusual too. They often argued
loudly but also spent too much time together, unlike normal brothers. Villagers joked that
Ming cared more about Xia than about his own brother.No one knew the full truth. Xia stay
ed silent, Ming avoided questions, and Li refused to doubt his family. The village kept wa
tching, waiting to see if the baby would look like Li...or Ming.
