Shen Weimin thought for a moment. Since even Grandpa Shi had already told his dad that his father-in-law was his grand-uncle's biological son, he decided there was no point in beating around the bush anymore.
There were some things that were indeed difficult to bring up with his dad over the phone, but now that it was just the two of them, he could mention Old Mrs. Xu's three marriages.
"...My grand-uncle chose to let her go... A few years later... no one expected her to be pregnant... so my grand-uncle came looking for her. That's the gist of it.
I was completely floored when they finally acknowledged each other." Setting aside Mr. Cheng's current, true identity, Shen Weimin explained his father-in-law's origins to his old man.
Aside from some sensitive details, there was no reason to hide what Grandpa Shi had said that night from his dad. Whether they had a formal wedding ceremony or not, the point was his father-in-law wasn't an illegitimate child.
