My mother accepted a huge bride price, including three pieces of gold jewelry, and insisted I marry a dead man before New Year's Eve.
My future husband's family had offered so much that my older sister was green with envy.
"Mom! Let me marry him instead. Why should she be the only one to get a ghost-marriage bride price for free?"
After a moment's silence, my mother agreed.
"Then get ready quickly. The matchmaker said that if the ghost wedding is completed before New Year's Eve, our whole family will enjoy wealth and good fortune."
But after the wedding, my sister behaved shamelessly, flirting around and getting up to all sorts of mischief.
My mother turned a blind eye.
Only I quietly broke out in a cold sweat. The ghost-marriage bride price had already been accepted, and now my sister was cuckolding her dead husband's family. Disaster was about to strike!
