"What's wrong, you ask? Having a precious daughter at home, people come begging for her hand with the utmost respect, always asking nicely. But when it's a son, your parents have to humble themselves to ask others. See, that's the difference. Nowadays, girls are more sought after than boys."
You Jingyi sighed and rubbed his forehead, "Mom, it's not that bad, is it?"
"Hmph, I'm plenty aggrieved," Mrs. You huffed for a while, then composed herself and said to her son, "Son, you really have an eye for people. That girl comes from a good family with solid values. Even though her family is well off, they've never indulged her. You know what your Aunt Ying said? Oh... that's the wife of your dad's business partner. She said anyone who gets to marry their Little Star is blessed for several lifetimes. She said that girl's been sensible since young, she does well in school. Plus, she can cook a great meal."
You Jingyi chuckled on this end; he knew all this.
