When Manbao learned her older sister was getting married, the whole person was stunned, and then she became worried, "What kind of gift should I prepare for my sister?"
Bai Shanbao said, "Money."
He said, "After giving the betrothal money, she'll naturally buy whatever she lacks, which is the best gift."
Manbao pondered and felt that although his reasoning made a lot of sense, the gift still seemed insincere, so she said, "No, I need to think this through seriously. A gift should either be something the recipient lacks or something they like."
Manbao asked Zhou Lijun, "What do you think my sister lacks or likes?"
"The big sister lacks a lot of things," Zhou Lijun counted on her fingers: "She lacks money, clothes, jewelry, and, um, children."
She also said, "The big sister likes money, clothes, jewelry, and children too."
In a low voice, Zhou Lijun said, "My mom says that the big sister's heartache is that she never had children before."
"Isn't that Liu Dalang's fault then?"
