After thinking it over carefully, Zhang the hunter felt that it was not impossible.
This man is even more handsome than a woman, so it's not surprising that he's attracted to other men.
However, marrying a male wife is quite rare.
Within a radius of a hundred miles, he had never heard of anyone marrying a man as a wife or taking a man as a concubine.
There have been several cases of keeping child prostitutes.
Could this man be from out of town?
But how did outsiders end up in the Changwei River?
Do you remember who the man you married was?
He asked the man.
The man shook his head: "I don't remember, but I should have killed him."
He felt nauseous just thinking about that person and wished he could kill him.
They must have already taken action.
Hunter Zhang: "???"
Why do you say that?
"I don't want to marry him."
Zhang the hunter immediately imagined a scene where a man is taken aback by a wealthy and powerful lord, forcibly taken home for a wedding ceremony, but refuses to submit. During the resistance, he accidentally kills the lord, is chased, and falls into the river.
The way she looked at the man carried a hint of pity.
Being destitute is tragic enough, but to be forcibly taken from someone else is even worse.
It's unclear whether those who were chasing him stopped pursuing him after he drowned, or continued their relentless pursuit.
If it's the latter, then he's not a golden catch, but a hot potato.
He needs to get rid of it as soon as possible.
If it's the former... then it would be a perfect match for the girl.
Hunter Zhang waited anxiously for two days, but no one came looking for him, and he gradually felt relieved.
She felt that the man must have been sent to her by God because He knew she wanted to find a grandson-in-law and took pity on her.
If he doesn't want it, he might miss this opportunity.
However, it's not enough for him to be enthusiastic about this all by himself.
It depends on what the girl thinks.
He observed the girl closely and noticed that she kept glancing at men furtively.
He then asked her, "Silly girl, why are you looking at him?"
"He's handsome."
The girl replied.
Hunter Zhang laughed loudly: "Silly girl, do you even know what 'good-looking' or 'bad-looking' means?"
She used to say he was the most handsome person in the world.
Upon hearing this, the girl said in a serious tone, "Grandpa is ugly, he is handsome."
Zhang the Hunter: "..."
As expected, daughters grow up and leave home.
Upon seeing a handsome man, he went from being the most handsome man in the world to being the ugliest.
He sighed for a while, then asked the girl, "Since you think he's handsome, how about letting him be your husband?"
"What is a husband? Can you eat him?"
"Yes, not only can I eat, but I can also play house with you."
The girl was instantly smitten: "Okay, I want a husband."
Zhang the hunter looked pleased.
But when he asked the man, the man was unwilling.
"I don't want her as my daughter-in-law."
Why don't you want it?
The man frowned and said, "I don't like her."
Zhang the hunter didn't care whether he liked it or not.
“I saved you, you should repay my kindness. You have nothing, not even a penny, so leave the two children for Niu’er. After the children are born, you can go wherever you want.”
The man was taken aback: "Where would I get a child for her?"
Zhang the hunter laughed heartily: "Once you get married, you'll know how to give it to the child."
The man looked bewildered.
Zhang the hunter assumed he had agreed, locked the courtyard gate, and kept the two men inside. He then went to town, bought a few feet of red cloth, and had two sets of clothes made.
He also weighed out more than ten kilograms of sugar and peanuts, and distributed them to acquaintances in the village, inviting them to come over the next day to help slaughter chickens and sheep and prepare for the wedding feast.
The villagers were astonished: "Old Zhang, you've found your grandson-in-law?"
"Found it."
Where are you from?
Hunter Zhang mumbled, "The village upstream on the river."
Fearing the villagers would press for details, he quickly said, "Don't ask now. You can see for yourselves tomorrow. That's better than anything I can say."
The villagers knew how particular he was about choosing a son-in-law for his granddaughter, and they were all curious about what kind of eligible bachelor he had chosen. Before dawn the next day, they flocked to his house to see what was going on.
The girl was so scared that she didn't dare to leave the room.
The man seemed unaffected, calmly catching and grilling fish—he had been hunting for himself these past few days and hadn't eaten a single bite of Zhang the hunter's food.
When the villagers saw him, they all gasped in shock.
They all said to Zhang the hunter, "Old Zhang, you didn't go to the Heavenly Court because you couldn't find your grandson-in-law, and kidnapped a celestial being to your home, did you?"
Zhang the hunter snorted and said irritably, "Even if I wanted to kidnap a celestial being, I'd have to have the ability. Do you think I, Old Zhang, am Sun Wukong, who can just go to heaven whenever he wants?"
"Then where did you find your grandson-in-law? Don't tell us you were fished out of the river."
Hunter Zhang grinned: "It really was sent by the River God."
Then she recounted how she saved the man and how she persuaded him to stay and become her grandson-in-law.
Of course, the word "persuasion" needs further verification.
The villagers were deeply moved upon hearing this.
"With such looks, if he weren't an idiot, he could be a good match for a princess. Your girl is so lucky."
"I never expected that the girl would be so lucky to have the River God send her a groom. I am so envious."
“My Chunmei is also having a hard time finding a partner. It seems I should pray to the river god and ask him to send us a son-in-law.”
"..."
Zhang the hunter grinned from ear to ear.
Overjoyed, he ordered two sheep, ten chickens and ducks to be slaughtered, dug up the Daughter's Red wine that had been buried for eighteen years, and prepared ten tables of wine and food.
Before the banquet begins, the two newlyweds are arranged to perform the wedding ceremony.
The little girl obediently let the aunties and grandmothers do her hair and makeup.
The man, however, refused to change his clothes.
