"Fuck you!"
Jiang Ming sat up cursing, got dressed, got out of bed, and opened the door.
"What's wrong? Why are you in such a panic?"
"Brother-in-law! Have you seen Second Sister?"
Chen Dabao, panting heavily, swallowed hard and asked.
No!
"Oh dear! Brother-in-law, something terrible has happened! That good-for-nothing has run away from her husband's family, and now the Jia family is causing trouble at our house, demanding the annulment of the engagement and triple the bride price in compensation. What are we going to do?"
Chen Dabao was so angry that he stomped his feet and almost cried!
"Three times the bride price? What kind of logic is that?" Jiang Ming was a little confused.
Chen Dabao replied with a mournful expression, "Their family said that my second sister is a White Tiger, which brings misfortune to her husband. They said that our family marrying a White Tiger girl into their family is a murder for money... They also said that if we don't pay three times the dowry, they will force me to build the Great Wall. Brother-in-law, you have to help me!"
"How much is the bride price for the second sister?"
"Three, three hundred taels of silver..."
"What?"
Upon hearing this, Jiang Ming's eyes widened in surprise!
This is ridiculous! Chen Ermei's bride price is actually 300 taels!
I only received 300 taels of silver as a reward for killing the mountain god.
"Let's return the three hundred taels of silver to them first, and then figure out a way to deal with the rest..."
"No, brother-in-law! That money has already been given to the Dong family as betrothal gifts. The Dong family is obsessed with money. If I break off the engagement, our two families will become enemies, boohoo!"
Chen Dabao pretended to wipe away tears, choking back sobs, and said, "Brother-in-law, your impersonation of my sister and your marriage to the mountain god is a secret. Only the Jia family knows the truth. If it gets out, it won't be good for you, will it? After all, what is reasonable isn't necessarily legal, and what is legal isn't necessarily legal. The laws of our Yan Kingdom are so strict..."
"What the hell?"
Jiang Ming stared at Chen Dabao in shock.
I thought to myself, "This kid's a real jerk! He's actually blocking me here..."
“Brother-in-law, this money… it’s not just extortion, it’s also hush money!” Chen Dabao stammered.
As they spoke, the lanterns and torches at the alley entrance flickered with light, and several servants surrounded a young master in fine clothes, swaying his hips as he slowly approached.
Without a doubt, that was the son of his immediate superior, County Magistrate Jia, known as Young Master Jia.
