?Chapter 79: Chapter 77: Xuanbao Figures Out How to Catch the Bad Guy! Chapter 79: Chapter 77: Xuanbao Figures Out How to Catch the Bad Guy! Old Man Zhen looked at the tiger with its yellow and black striped coat, so smooth and shiny, and the white fox without a single stray hair, and he drooled. He couldn’t resist touching them; they were so comfortable!
The quality of this white fox’s fur was so good that he didn’t even know how to describe it. In any case, if he took it to the city to sell, it would definitely fetch him a hundred taels of silver!
And with this tiger skin, he could make a coat for his son, so he wouldn’t be afraid of the cold when he read at night.
Old Man Zhen said to Granny Lei, “Granny Lei, since your third son is now divorced, why don’t our families intermarry? I won’t ask for much of a dowry, just a tiger and a white fox will do, I want nothing else! Your family wouldn’t have to spend a penny and could marry someone as diligent and pretty as my daughter Zhen Yi. Wouldn’t that be a good deal?”
After finishing, Old Man Zhen looked at Ruo He, “Ruo He, if you agree, I will go to the butcher Zhu tomorrow and call off the engagement! Look, I have already accepted the gifts, and this white fox was not even what I asked for; it’s to apologize to the butcher Zhu. How about it?”
Old Man Zhen thought more and more that marrying his youngest daughter to Butcher Zhu was not a good deal. Butcher Zhu had said that after marrying into his family, Zhen Yi would have to sever ties with her family and sign documents, no longer associating with them.
His previous daughters had also stopped associating with their natal family. Without daughters to marry off in the future, how would he earn silver?
If he intermarried with the Ruo Family, it would be different. They were from the same village, and if they had no food, they could just go to their house and scrounge for a meal!
Daniu’s mother glanced at Old Man Zhen, “You old Zhen, I was thinking of giving ten coins! You’re trying to pluck everything clean! You’re even greedier!”
Baocai’s grandmother also said, “Exactly! The greediest one is you; you’re trying to catch a white wolf with empty hands! Your family previously said they didn’t think much of the Ruo Family, but now you see someone with a tiger and a white fox, and you’re tempted again!”
Old Man Zhen shooed them away like flies, “Go, go, go… What does our business with the Ruo Family have to do with you! Ruo He, what do you say? If you don’t agree now, next month Zhen Yi will be married to Butcher Zhu’s son. Do you not want to marry a daughter-in-law if you can’t part with a tiger and a white fox?”
