Retold Folk Tales: The Strange and Funny Stories Grandma Told

Can you believe it? My grandmother has never left her village in her whole life, yet she carries more than a hundred strange folk tales passed down from generations before her. She can tell you how a clever daughter-in-law brought a corrupt official down with a single retort, how a poor scholar won a beauty with nothing but a couplet, and all about the mind-blowing twists between a lazy man, a scholar, and a rich landowner. These old stories, tucked away in everyday life, are impossible to hear anywhere else. Today, I’m telling you every one of them. You’ll be amazed by how clever our ancestors were!
