Huai Zi was overjoyed and quickly added, "We have to have a son, too. If we only have daughters, they won't have brothers to protect them. When they get married, they'll have less support from their family and might get bullied."
Seeing him get carried away and plan so far ahead, Juhua couldn't help but laugh. "Aren't you getting a little ahead of yourself?" she teased. "Nothing's even happened yet, and you're already worried about our daughter getting married."
Huai Zi leaned closer to her and said in a suggestive tone, "It can happen very quickly—just look at your sister-in-law! Even if nothing's started yet, we can still prepare. That way we won't be scrambling when it happens."
Juhua asked in surprise, "Prepare for what? What is there to prepare?" 'There's not the slightest sign of anything. What is there to prepare?'
