Old Man Zhen looked at the tiger with its yellow and black striped coat, so smooth and shiny, and the white fox without a single stray hair, and he drooled. He couldn't resist touching them; they were so comfortable!
The quality of this white fox's fur was so good that he didn't even know how to describe it. In any case, if he took it to the city to sell, it would definitely fetch him a hundred taels of silver!
And with this tiger skin, he could make a coat for his son, so he wouldn't be afraid of the cold when he read at night.
Old Man Zhen said to Granny Lei, "Granny Lei, since your third son is now divorced, why don't our families intermarry? I won't ask for much of a dowry, just a tiger and a white fox will do, I want nothing else! Your family wouldn't have to spend a penny and could marry someone as diligent and pretty as my daughter Zhen Yi. Wouldn't that be a good deal?"
