The man in charge wanted to raise the price, but was intimidated by Jiang San and Jiang Si who were following him, and reluctantly agreed to the deal.
Ten taels of silver sold the life of a twelve-year-old girl.
After signing and affixing his seal to the yamen (government office), Zheng Ruqian tossed out half a silver ingot and left with Daya in a dashing manner.
While the husband was still holding the still-warm silver and testing its authenticity with his teeth, Miao Zhaoying turned around, proposed a divorce, and demanded half of the family property.

After several days of family reunion dinners, the second brother seemed to have regained about 70% of his plumpness. Standing next to Jiang Sheng, they looked like the closest of siblings.
In particular, their swaggering and flamboyant walking styles were almost identical.
