Chapter 1672: The Village Belle’s Boyfriend!
Dead Fish Eyes Ghost started contemplating: "The Village Belle is the prettiest in the whole village, there are many chasing her, countless in our village, and many from the neighboring village, including quite a number of tall and strong ones."
"Does she have a boyfriend?" Little Taotie asked again.
Dead Fish Eyes Ghost’s eyes flickered.
"Big brother, don’t hide it!"
"Well..." Dead Fish Eyes Ghost sighed: "She does have one, she herself says so, but no one knows if it’s true, we haven’t seen him."
"Can you explain carefully what’s going on?"
Dead Fish Eyes Ghost recalled: "The Village Belle is very pretty, making her parents and brothers want to negotiate a good price for her, the so-called good price is the bride price. In our village, eighty-eight thousand eight hundred and eighty-eight is the highest bride price. Some families can marry a pretty daughter-in-law for eight thousand."
Little Taotie furrowed his little brow: "This isn’t ancient times, this is literally selling a daughter, it’s illegal!"
"What do villagers know, it’s been like this for generations. Marrying a daughter comes with a bride price, then the bride price is used for the son to marry a daughter-in-law." Dead Fish Eyes Ghost smiled bitterly: "Villagers don’t have that much money, so even if the Village Belle is as pretty as a Fairy, not many really come to propose, however, my cousin, upon hearing I won the lottery, his first thought was to ask me for bride price money to propose to the Village Belle’s parents."
"So your cousin went to propose? Isn’t the prize not yet claimed? Where’s the money coming from?" Little Taotie looked puzzled.
"My cousin is just a big mouth, although he hasn’t claimed the prize yet, it doesn’t stop him from setting things up. He went straight to the Village Belle’s parents to talk about it, and her parents and brothers were especially happy, agreeing repeatedly, saying once the money is ready, they would send the bride over, my cousin was also very pleased."
Little Taotie muttered: "They are all happy, but no one asked for the Village Belle’s opinion."
"Even though no one asked, the Village Belle still stood up and refused. She said she has a boyfriend, said her boyfriend would propose once he comes back, said he’s gone to earn big money. But no one believed her, they all thought she didn’t want to marry, so she just made it up to delay things."
"Is there a possibility that the Village Belle’s boyfriend is real?"
Dead Fish Eyes Ghost was startled: "Perhaps he exists... but what does that have to do with me?"
Little Taotie looked at him with eyes filled with frustration: "How does it not relate? Originally, she just needed to wait for her boyfriend to earn money and come back to propose, then she could happily marry the one she loves. But you won the lottery, you have money now, and you promised to give your cousin money, so your cousin went ahead. Her parents and brothers also agreed, if you successfully redeem the lottery, you have money, your cousin will have money, then she has to marry someone she doesn’t love!"
Dead Fish Eyes Ghost’s fish eyes widened, those eyes were filled with disbelief, even the whites of his eyes showed a sense of helplessness, he murmured: "This... how could it be..."
He should also have figured out the stakes involved.
If he hadn’t won the lottery, there wouldn’t be a conflict with the Village Belle.
But he won, he became the main culprit who broke up the lovebirds.
Then the young couple would certainly see him as an enemy.
Towards an enemy, how could they be soft-hearted?
If they are soft-hearted towards him, that would mean giving up their love.
Then the person who pushed him, the tall and strong fellow, who exactly is he, the mystery seems solved.
It’s the Village Belle’s boyfriend!
