?Chapter 39: Chapter 38 This Time Heaven Opened Its Eyes by Itself Chapter 39: Chapter 38 This Time Heaven Opened Its Eyes by Itself Granny Lei sneered coldly, “Zhen Yi has truly been cursed for eight generations to have parents with hearts of wolves and lungs of dogs like you! A dowry of a hundred taels, you might as well just rob it!”
Zhen Yi is a good child, but with a blood-sucking leech like Old Zhen and Lady Tan who only know how to exploit their daughter, Granny Lei would absolutely not dare to agree to have her son marry into their family, for troubles would surely follow without end.
Old Zhen proclaimed, “Just because your family can’t come up with it doesn’t mean others can’t! My daughter Zhen Yi is worth that much in silver. A hundred taels of silver, three wild boars, a hundred loads of rice, not a single coin less! If you don’t agree now, in a few days I’ll be exchanging wedding contracts with Zhu the butcher.”
Old Zhen didn’t know that Madam Zhao had already been divorced; if he had known, he could have demanded even more silver.
Lady Tan said irritably, “Why spout so much nonsense, old man? The Ruo Family is mad with madness, crippled with infirmity, and as poor as the clang of a bell—where would they get silver for a bridal price? Granny Lei, the wild boars have ravaged my rice; pay me for a wild boar right away, or this matter won’t be settled!”
Ruo Xuan squatted down while everyone was arguing noisily and then stood up, speaking in a milky voice, “Your rice is fine now; I’ve fixed it. You owe me a wild boar, and with that, this matter is settled!”
Upon hearing this, Granny Lei looked down and saw that the fallen rice plants had been set upright, not a single trace of bending.
Did Xuanbao use Immortal Technique again?
Her heart skipped a beat, and she quickly said, “Oh dear, look, Lady Tan, your rice just fell down, but my Xuanbao helped you pick it up; hurry up and give a wild boar to my Xuanbao! That settles it!”
In fact, Granny Lei was overthinking it; there were too many people crowded around the field just now, and nobody noticed whether Lady Tan’s rice had been trampled by wild boars or had simply tilted.
If the rice stems were not broken but merely bent, then setting them upright would suffice; even if they were broken, the rice was now half-ripe, and setting it upright and securing it wouldn’t affect the harvest, so no one thought anything unusual.
Even Lady Tan herself didn’t suspect anything; she was just envious over the three wild boars and upon noticing a few fallen rice plants in her field, she made up an excuse to claim one without looking closely.
