Pointing to her own face, “I’m so ugly it’s scary. Why would you buy me?”
“To make you my wife, of course. Isn’t that obvious?” “I mean, with a face like this, you still bought me?” “Well, it was cheap.” He admitted honestly.
“How cheap?”
He made a cross with his index fingers and then held up his right hand, bending the three middle fingers and leaving only his thumb and index finger
extended.
She asked, “One hundred and sixty taels?”
“You’re not that expensive.” He shook his head, “The pretty wives from other families are just forty to fifty taels, and average-looking ones with worse looks are thirty taels. You, on the other hand… half price is enough, just sixteen taels. ”
It really was cheap. She calmed down, “How much do you want to sell me for?”
“Wife, you want to buy me?” Xiao Yuchuan pointed to himself, “a big man like me isn’t worth much.”
“I’m asking, how much would you sell me for?” She clarified, “So I’ll know your psychological price later.”
He stared at her, “My wife, you’re worth even less than me. I could be bought to do hard labor, but with your looks, you might scare the master if you were a maid…
She snorted coldly, “Cut the crap, name your price.”
“No.” He swore never to sell her no matter how much money was offered. She sets the price for him, “One hundred and sixty taels, ten times the price.”
He casually joked, “One thousand six hundred taels would be more appropriate.”
“Deal.” Her voice was light, “Remember what you’ve said today. When I come up with one thousand six hundred taels later, you give me back the deed of sale.”
He initially thought she was just playing with him, so he casually agreed. Seeing her serious face, he hesitated, “My wife, what are you doing… I’ve said I wouldn’t sell you… no matter how much you offer.”
“No going back on a settled deal.” Her tone was icy, and her gaze on him was particularly cold as well.
He suddenly regretted it, feeling that his wife’s heart was far away from him in that moment, “My wife, I was really just joking with you… I thought you were kidding, that’s why I casually said that… ”
Her expression was indifferent as the wind, “Sometimes, what is said casually is the most genuine expression. Xiao Yuchuan, in your heart, I am worth exactly one thousand six hundred taels.”
His heart ached for a moment, “That’s not true, my wife…” then thought of the astronomical figure of one thousand six hundred taels, “My wife, do you know how much one thousand six hundred taels are? That’s an enormous amount of money. In our village, including the nearby villages, there isn’t a single household with that much money… ‘
“Really?” She would have it later, “What’s the use of talking more?”
He paused for a moment, “Alright, alright, my wife, I can’t argue with you. But shouldn’t you be happy that in my heart, you’re worth so much money?”
“Don’t call me your wife. I really don’t like it.” She would rather have been bought by the Xiao family for the second brother, Xiao Yishan, as a wife; unfortunately, she was bought to be Xiao Yuchuan’s wife.
“Fine, fine.” He wouldn’t give in.
“Fine, I’ll redeem the deed of sale and clear things up later.” Her life was saved by the second brother, “By the way, since I’m your wife, how come the second brother saved me back in town that day?”
“My wife, don’t you know?”
“I forgot.”
He hesitated for a moment and then said, “It wasn’t easy for the family to save up eight taels of silver, and you stole it. My second brother and I looked for you everywhere, day and night, for three days. You were stealing… stealing steamed buns in town and got caught and beaten. The second brother found you first and brought you back..”
