Behind the beaded curtain, the sisters turned their heads in unison, their backs facing the two bachelors while their shoulders shook with laughter.
They couldn't hold back their laughter any longer.
The people on the other side didn't understand their plight and continued to converse harmoniously.
"Our family has had only one son for three generations. My mother will be overjoyed if I continue the family line next year."
"Well, it takes ten months to carry a baby to term. If you calculate from now till the end of next year, you can have two pregnancies. You can marry two women, one 25 and the other 30 years old. This way, your mother will have four grandchildren next year. And if you're audacious enough, they could all be twins."
...
Lu Jingzhi: I'm really going to die from laughing.
Jiang Wunian: My belly hurts from laughing so much.
Mirth abounded.
But Yang Yuecheng and Wang Chuan both had smiles on their faces, their temperaments gentle and amiable.
