I don't understand that sentence.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Old_wives%27_tale
That's still a rather incomprehensible sentence.
Rephrased to it's intended meaning, that would be:
It was poorly constructed i too couldnt figure out the hell they were saying until i saw comments lol
This is funny as the Vietnamese joke about Chinese this way, they have a saying that translates as, 'the only thing they don't eat with 4 legs is a table'
Even chairs?
Maybe OP is from some place with a high Vietnamese population so there were rumors about this? TX, LA, or CA maybe.
