A man from Wuhan was on a business trip and had dinner at a farmer's house in Guangji. The master asked him if he had a wet nurse, and he replied that he did. The host asked him how old his mother was. This comrade thought he had asked his mother and replied that he was in his fifties. He was only in his thirties at that time. After he understood the master's intention, he was embarrassed and the master couldn't ask any more questions.
