Southern Wind

The Xiao family, known as the poorest amongst the mountaineers had just spent all their savings as dowry for a daughter-in-law, who was disfigured, dark, skinny, and mute. Mocked as the ugliest bride within miles, she eventually had enough of a life in poverty and escaped, only to fall in the hands of rogues who murdered her. 

When she opened her eyes again, her soul was now that of a killer's, and her disfigurement was healed while her unhealthily tanned skin was now fair as day.... And she could also talk! As she became the most beautiful bride. Villagers kept their distance from the Xiao family, claiming that they were jinxes. But despite her poverty, the bride was fortunate to have a loyal mountaineer husband who spoiled her to bits. Hence, the bride guided her husband to riches, buying farms and tending to them diligently, while starting a family to gain riches through blood and sweat.

The Spirited Daughter-in-law and the Mountain Man

Pointing to her own face, "I'm so ugly it's scary. Why would you buy me?"


"To make you my wife, of course. Isn't that obvious?"


"I mean, with a face like this, you still bought me?"


"Well, it was cheap." He admitted honestly.


He made a cross with his index fingers and then held up his right hand, bending the three middle fingers and leaving only his thumb and index finger extended.


She asked, "One hundred and sixty taels?"


"You're not that expensive." He shook his head, "The pretty wives from other families are just forty to fifty taels, and average-looking ones with worse looks are thirty taels. You, on the other hand... half price is enough, just sixteen taels."


It really was cheap. She calmed down, "How much do you want to sell me for?"


"Wife, you want to buy me?" Xiao Yuchuan pointed to himself, "a big man like me isn't worth much."


"I'm asking, how much would you sell me for?" She clarified, "So I'll know your psychological price later."


151 one thousand six hundred taels resale
