Some villagers also saw Xue Daniu carrying a woman, and someone asked, "Xue family, where did you find this girl?"
"We bought it."
"Oh, is that Da Niu's wife?"
The man made that casual remark. Xue Daniu looked at Xue Xiaoniu and thought, "If I don't explain now, she'll be my wife from now on."
Xue Xiaoniu quickly laughed and said, "How could that be? This girl cost my family three taels of silver; she is the shared wife of the three brothers."
"Three taels of silver? You've lost out big time. If I had known, I would have introduced you to a better one, and you wouldn't be carrying such a frail thing now."

Xue Erniu chuckled and said, "This guy is still thinking about leaving."
Xue Xiaoniu served himself food without even looking at Ali, saying, "We'll lock her up then and see where she can run off to."
