91: Chapter 91: Snatch a Bride?
Brother Doesn’t Need It!
Cheng Bao’s eyes shone with a sly gleam, as he chuckled maliciously.
If it weren’t for the presence of too many bystanders, he would have been unable to resist pouncing on her.
Zhu Cui stared at Cheng Bao with cold eyes and said in a frosty voice,
“Aren’t you afraid that I might hex you to death?”
“Haha!
Master Liu from the county town said you could hex others to death, but marrying me could actually boost my fortunes!”
Cheng Bao stretched out his left hand, and immediately a lackey handed over the stack of cash on the table.
“As long as you’re willing to marry me, your younger brother’s debt is forgiven.
With this hundred thousand for your parents, they will never bother you again in the future!”
“In addition, once you’re with me, I’ll give you a few thousand for living expenses each month.
Whether it’s to shop online or play mahjong, anything goes!”
“Of course, if you can bear me children, a girl gets a reward of a hundred thousand, a boy gets five hundred thousand!
How about that?”
Zhu Cui didn’t say a word, but Zhu Dacai and his wife rushed forward.
“Good, good!”
The dark and lean Zhu Dacai’s eyes glittered at the sight of the money.
Yao Bilan was also fixated on the cash.
“Cui, listen and do as you’re told.
Quickly go and register with Lord Bao!
That way your younger brother can come back sooner!”
Zhu Cui’s gaze swept past Cheng Bao and settled on Wu Jie and Zhang Hao.
“Zhang Hao, do you two dare marry me?
Just come up with two hundred thousand, and I’ll marry you today!
From then on, I’ll work like an ox for you, at your beck and call!”
“I dare!” Zhang Hao stood up in a flash.
Wu Jie’s mouth hung open, but he didn’t speak.
For a girl of her caliber, to bring her home for just two hundred thousand, graceful enough for the hall, skilled enough for the kitchen, and fit for the bed…
How could Zhang Hao not be thrilled?
Wu Jie turned to look and saw Zhang Hao was almost drooling.
Damn!
Can’t you have a little dignity?
“Alright then!” Zhu Cui exclaimed loudly, “Cash or transfer, it’s all good.
Just give Cheng Bao a hundred thousand first, then my mom a hundred thousand, and from then on, I’m yours!”
“Uh…”
Zhang Hao was stunned.
Cheng Bao almost burst into laughter at the side.
“Two hundred thousand…
Haha!
Little Cui, he’s just a noodle seller with two old sick folks at home.
I doubt he even has twenty thousand!”
A hint of dejection passed through Zhang Hao’s eyes.
Wu Jie stood up, clapped Zhang Hao on the shoulder,
“Haizhu, didn’t you bring a gold bar?
If you’re really into her, just pay off the debt first!”
Zhang Hao turned around, somewhat astonished, wanting to speak, but Wu Jie silenced him with a look.
He understood.
Brother Wu Jie was giving him support!
But…
was that gold bar real?
Zhang Hao, with a mix of belief and doubt, took out the gold bar from his pocket and muttered under his breath,
“I seriously thought this was fake!”
“Bullshit!
Have you ever seen a fake gold bar that heavy?” Wu Jie retorted helplessly.
Then, with a strong push.
Zhang Hao lunged forward two steps, showing off the gold bar.
“I…
I didn’t bring any cash!
But…
I did bring a gold bar!”
Weighing it in his hand, Zhang Hao estimated and said, “Gold is worth over three hundred per gram right now, this bar must be worth at least fifty or sixty thousand, certainly enough to pay off Zhu Cheng’s debt!”
Cheng Bao’s expression changed instantly.
Zhu Dacai and his wife were mesmerized by the gold bar in an instant.
These days, red banknotes were common, but shiny gold bars were exceedingly rare!
In a moment, many villagers were drawn in, their voices buzzing with discussion.
But not one dared to set foot in the courtyard, a testament to the fierce reputation of Zhu Dacai and his wife in the village, intimidating enough to prevent uninvited intrusion.
“Yo!
Haizhu, you sure have some guts!”
“You could’ve come any other time, but you chose this moment to bring a gold bar to compete with me for a bride, you did that on purpose, right?”
Cheng Bao’s tone became slightly bitter.
“What kidnapping the bride?
That old couple only recognizes money, not people!” Wu Jie’s gaze swept across the room before finally settling on Cheng Bao.
“How much does Zhu Cheng owe you exactly?
Where’s the IOU?”
Cheng Bao snorted coldly, “What damned IOU?
He borrowed from me, and I lent it, do we need a written note for that?
We’re all from the same town, what’s with all these stupid formalities?”
“Is that so?”
Wu Jie took a couple of steps forward, smiling, “According to what you’re saying, it could be that he owes you ten thousand, or it could be a million—after all, you can state any amount you want, can’t you?”
Cheng Bao took a fierce drag on his cigarette, squinting his eyes as he coldly regarded Wu Jie.
“What do you mean by that, Stone?
Are you and Haizhu here to stir up trouble on purpose?”
“What?
Planning to be a hero and rescue the damsel in distress in this fashion?”
Wu Jie laughed heartily, “Baozi, listen to yourself, we’re just here for a fair competition!”
Fair competition?
Cheng Bao gave a forced smile and turned his head to look at Zhu Dacai and his wife.
“It’s good that Haizhu is here to compete, it saves people from saying that I, Lord Bao, am a bully and a tyrant!”
“Who to choose, you and your family can decide!”
As soon as he finished speaking, Zhu Dacai revealed his yellow-stained teeth and asked Zhang Hao cheerily:
“You’re also offering two hundred thousand, right?”
Zhang Hao’s lips twitched slightly as he thought, oh no.
Where would he get two hundred thousand?
His grandparents at home were getting on in years and hadn’t been in the best of health, costing a fair bit each year for their medical treatments.
His younger brother was still in school and that cost money, too.
Although they had a business in town, there wasn’t much in the way of savings at home.
Let alone two hundred thousand…
Even one hundred thousand was beyond his reach.
But Wu Jie stood by his brother.
“Our conditions are simple.
However much Zhu Cheng owes, we’ll pay it off for him.
On top of that, we’ll add another hundred thousand as a dowry.”
“Whether to choose Lord Bao, known far and wide for his tyranny, or Zhang Hao, who is known to be diligent, kind, honest, and family-oriented, the choice is yours!”
Wu Jie left the choice to Zhu Cui.
However…
Zhu Dacai and his wife were obviously leaning more towards Cheng Bao.
No choice!
After all, their precious son Zhu Cheng was still detained in Cheng Bao’s casino.
But the problem was, Zhu Cui wouldn’t agree!
Marrying Cheng Bao, anyone could guess, she would absolutely be nothing more than a baby-making machine.
Cheng Bao looked like a pig, and every day he frolicked outside, with women too numerous to count.
Marrying him, could she be happy and secure?
The reason he had suddenly wanted to marry Zhu Cui, who was famed for ‘overcoming fate’, was something he heard from Master Liu in the county town.
That self-proclaimed exorcist and ghost catcher, Master Liu, said that Zhu Cui could overcome Cheng Bao’s malicious and violent energy, ensuring his blessings and good fortune without parallel, and a life of smooth sailing.
And the more determined Cheng Bao was to get her, the more resolutely Zhu Cui refused.
Zhu Dacai and his wife didn’t dare to push Zhu Cui too hard, either.
Otherwise, if it ended in loss of life, wouldn’t that be losing both their son and their money?
Under everyone’s watchful eyes, Zhu Cui’s big watery eyes were fixed on Wu Jie.
“Auntie has told me about you, you’re the only one from Genlong Village who has made it to a top-tier university in many years!”
Zhu Cui gazed at Wu Jie, her eyes clear.
“Since it’s about matchmaking and the dowry is two hundred thousand either way, then why aren’t you willing to marry me?”
Whoosh!
Cheng Bao suddenly turned his head, glaring at Wu Jie.
“Look at you, Stone!
So you’re also here to snatch the bride!”
“Even using Haizhu as a shield—are you even a man?”
Wu Jie laughed coldly, “I already have a fiancée, and this matchmaking incident is just a misunderstanding.
I came today solely to help a brother.”
His gaze turned to Zhu Cui as he asked directly, “It’s either Cheng Bao or Zhang Hao, make your choice!”
“One’s an old lecher, the other’s too honest!
I don’t like either of them, I like the learned type like you!”
“Let me go with you, I’ll serve you for a lifetime even if I can’t be your wife!”
Upon hearing Zhu Cui’s words, everyone was stunned…
