Zhang Goudan, a native of Zhang Family Village, lost his parents early and is now fifty-six years old. He remains an old bachelor who has never held down a proper job and frequently peeps at young ladies and young wives bathing and nursing. As a result, he has been beaten up more than once.
So poor that all he had left was a straw mat, even widows were unwilling to marry him. It seemed he was destined to remain a bachelor for life.
However, today Zhang Goudan was overjoyed, his wrinkled face blossoming into a grin.
Because he was getting married!
Not only was he getting a wife, but the woman was also incomparably beautiful, unimaginably more so than the village beauty Cui Hua. Now this stunning beauty was about to become his wife, which made Zhang Goudan drool just thinking about it.
There was just one strange thing: his brother-in-law wouldn't let him invite anyone from the village to the wedding. But that was fine too; after all, he had no money for such an occasion.
