[Family life] + [farming and getting rich] + [face-slapping]
Chu Xia is notorious far and wide for bringing misfortune to her husbands and relatives. She is past eighteen, and still no one dares marry her.
Song Changqing, the eldest young master of the Song family in Qingshui Town, was a child prodigy. Unfortunately, he fell ill while traveling to the capital to take the civil service exams at fourteen and became an idiot.
The Song family’s stepmother hates her stepson Song Changqing with all her heart. Now that he is twenty-one, she has a matchmaker find him a bride.
“I heard she brings misfortune to husbands and relatives. Is it true, or just gossip?”
“Both of the men she was engaged to before died because of her. She even brought about the deaths of her own parents and one sister. Her brother and sister-in-law are sickly too, so they probably won’t escape her curse either.”
When the Song family comes to propose, the Chu family dare not agree, afraid something will happen again.
“I’ll marry him. The bride price is fifty taels of silver.”
