The Twin Sisters' Vow

Zhou Yao circled the twin sisters again, sizing them up from head to toe, from left to right.

He could tell at a glance that the twin sisters had deliberately made themselves look ugly.

As someone who had transmigrated, Zhou Yao had seen far too many women deliberately disguise themselves as ugly like this in television dramas.

But what Zhou Yao didn't understand was that if he didn't choose the twin sisters as his wives today, a living hell awaited them, where they could neither live nor die.

Who didn't like beautiful women? Zhou Yao was no exception. He could tell that the twin sisters had absolutely first-rate figures, so he had already made his final decision.

The twin sisters, meanwhile, were anxious and terrified. They clenched their hands so tightly that their nails nearly dug into their flesh. Their whole bodies trembled, and they kept their heads down, not daring to breathe loudly.

A single decision from Zhou Yao would determine the sisters' fate directly: life or death.

At last, Zhou Yao walked up to the officer and said with a smile, "Sir, you're right. These twin sisters would be just right for warming my bed at night."

"I'll marry these twin sisters."

When the officer heard Zhou Yao say he would marry the twin sisters, he was stunned at first. Then his face instantly blossomed into a smile like a chrysanthemum, and he hurriedly said, "Good... good... I'll draw up your marriage contract right away."

As soon as he finished speaking, the officer drew up a marriage contract for Zhou Yao and the twin sisters and handed it to Zhou Yao. From that day on, the twin sisters were Zhou Yao's wives.

When the twin sisters heard Zhou Yao say he would marry them both, they were shocked at first. But they immediately stepped forward and knelt before him, then said through choking sobs, "We sisters thank you, husband, for the kindness of taking us in marriage. We will serve you well all our lives and spend our lives repaying your kindness. If we break this vow, may heaven strike us with five bolts of lightning, and may we never be reborn."

After saying this, the twin sisters kowtowed to Zhou Yao three times.

"Get up! Remember the vow you two just made! Go inside and wait for me."

"Yes... husband."

When Zhou Yao finished speaking, the twin sisters happily broke into smiles through their tears. They stood up, then shyly lowered their heads and walked into the courtyard.

"Congratulations... congratulations..." the villagers beside them said to Zhou Yao with smiles.

"Congratulations to you too... congratulations..." Zhou Yao knew that their son had also chosen two women to marry and take home today.

The officer, too, was grinning from ear to ear because he had successfully completed his first assignment of the year. Once he returned to the yamen, he would go collect his reward.

"All right... I've finished this assignment, so I can go back and report to the county magistrate. See you in a month," the officer said with a smile.

With that, the officer was about to leave, but Zhou Yao stopped him and called out to him. Then Zhou Yao smiled and said, "Sir, sorry to trouble you with a request. If there are any more petite, frail women like these next time, please bring them straight to me. I'll marry them all."

"Of course, if there are any tall women with long legs, please bring them straight to me next time or the time after that. I'll marry them all, because I like women like that."

Hearing Zhou Yao's words, the officer instantly grinned from ear to ear. After all, no men would choose women like that.

In the countryside, women had to work, so men all wanted women who were sturdy and healthy. They simply wouldn't take women as small and thin as these. If these women who were thin and small or overly tall were assigned to their bridal escort teams, the officers would be cursed with eight lifetimes of rotten luck.

No men would choose these women. Their final fate was to be sent to the army camps as military prostitutes, then abused to death.

"Good, good, good... I'll keep an eye out for you. The next time I come, if there are any women like that, I'll be sure to bring them to you as wives."

"Oh, sir... let me thank you in advance."

With that, Zhou Yao stepped forward and quietly slipped two taels of silver into the officer's hand, then said, "Sorry to trouble you with this, sir."

The officer saw Zhou Yao's little gesture and pinched the silver in his hand. Realizing it was probably two taels, his face instantly broke into a huge grin. Smiling, he said, "Don't worry, brother. Leave everything to me! Just wait and see what your big brother can do in a month! I guarantee I'll let you take two petite beauties home to warm your bed."

"Hahaha..."

With that, the officer left laughing.
