Getting Married

Upon hearing Zhu Bajie immediately stepped forward and looked at the woman, saying to Sun Wukong:

"Brother Monkey, that's really unfair of you. You're clearly not interested in them, so why are you dragging me into this?"

Just then, Tang Xuanzang finally couldn't help but reprimand Zhu Bajie:

"Bajie, how can we, as monks, harbor such desires for wealth and status? To be so greedy for beauty is utterly disgraceful."

Upon hearing this, the old woman burst into laughter and said, "Elder, what are the benefits of being a monk?"

Upon hearing this, Tang Xuanzang clasped his hands together, then slowly rubbed his prayer beads and said:

"Although we often endured hardships and slept outdoors, it wasn't all for naught. On our journey to the Western Heaven to obtain Buddhist scriptures, we were able to spread Great Tang culture and Buddhism."

"So this is the advantage of being a monk."

After speaking, Tang Xuanzang revealed a confident smile, thinking to himself with satisfaction:

"Hehe, are you confused? You wouldn't understand the advantages we monks have. We can freeload at other people's homes, while you can't."

However, at this moment, the woman smiled and said to Tang Xuanzang, "Elder, from what you've said, it seems a bit arduous. Why don't you just marry one of my daughters and spend your old age here in peace?"

Upon hearing this, Sun Wukong couldn't hold back any longer and scolded the old woman:

"Didn't my master already tell you, old woman? Monks don't have so many greedy thoughts, so you should give up that idea as soon as possible."

After speaking, Zhu Bajie nuzzled up next to the old woman and lazily said to her:

"Mother, how do I look?"

Upon hearing this, the old woman covered her mouth and chuckled, while Sun Wukong mocked Zhu Bajie, saying:

"You've already called that old woman 'Mother,' what else can you say? Just go ahead, so my master, Junior Brother Sha, and I can get on our way!"

Upon hearing this, Zhu Bajie smiled and looked at the old woman, saying:

"Mother, since you've already smiled, it means you've accepted me as your son-in-law. Why don't you let me stay here so my master and fellow disciples can all make their way?"

Seeing this, the old woman smiled and said:

"Aren't you going to discuss this matter with your master again?"

Upon hearing this, Zhu Bajie scoffed and said:

"This matter doesn't need to be discussed at all. My master isn't my biological parent, so the decision to do it or not is entirely in my hands. Therefore, it's up to you, Madam, to decide."

"Alright then, let me discuss it with my daughters first."

Upon hearing this, the old woman could only deal with Zhu Bajie for the time being.

After speaking, the old woman went to the back courtyard and closed the front door tightly. Even Zhu Bajie and Sun Wukong could not see through the back courtyard to see what it looked like.

After a while, the sound of women's laughter and chatter came from the backyard. In an instant, the old woman came out with her three daughters.

The old woman's three daughters all covered their faces with a layer of chicken skin. From the parts that were exposed, one could see that the three daughters had fair skin, graceful figures, and were charming and beautiful with a slight smile.

Seeing Zhu Bajie was stunned. Zhu Bajie muttered something under his breath:

"This woman is no ordinary mortal; she's practically like Chang'e from the Palace of Guanghan!"

Tang Xuanzang clasped his hands and bowed his head, Sun Wukong smiled without saying a word, and only Sha Wujing, who had just arrived, turned around.

But Zhu Bajie kept staring intently at the three women, his eyes glued to them.

Then Zhu Bajie said to the old woman, "Mother has three older sisters now, thank you for your trouble. Please let the three sisters go back first."

Upon hearing this, the three women turned and left. In the end, the second daughter even gave Zhu Bajie a flirtatious wink, which made Zhu Bajie.

Then the old woman said to Tang Xuanzang and his companions:

"Four elders, which one of you has taken a liking to? What do you think of my youngest daughter?"

After remaining silent for a while, Sha Wujing immediately spoke to the old woman upon hearing this:

"We've already discussed it; we'll have that long-snouted, big-eared bastard move into your family home!"

After speaking, Sha Wujing smiled smugly.

Upon hearing Zhu Bajie immediately spoke up to explain:

"Third junior brother, please stop belittling me. This kind of thing needs to be discussed more carefully."

Upon hearing this, Sun Wukong scratched the fur on the back of his hand, grabbed Zhu Bajie's ear, and said:

"What's there to plan? You've already called her 'Mother,' so what's there to argue about? When the time comes, Master will personally award her the prize, and the old woman will be the bride's mother. I'll be the witness, and my third junior brother will be the matchmaker, isn't that enough?"

"That won't do! I can't do such a thing!"

Upon hearing this, Zhu Bajie quickly shook his head and flapped his big ears as he spoke.

Upon hearing this, Sun Wukong immediately began to berate Zhu Bajie:

"What's wrong with that? Your mother has called you that countless times. Old woman, you should take your son-in-law back home, lest he run away again."

After speaking, Sun Wukong grabbed Zhu Bajie by the ear and dragged him towards the backyard.

After everyone arrived at the backyard, the three daughters were already waiting there. Upon seeing them, the old lady said to Zhu Bajie:

"If I were to marry my eldest daughter to you, my second daughter would definitely be unhappy. And if I were to marry my second daughter to you, my third daughter would surely quarrel with me. What do you think we should do about this?"

"Hey-hey"

Upon hearing this, Zhu Bajie chuckled and said:

"Mother, why don't you give me all three of my older sisters?"

After hearing what Zhu Bajie said, the old woman frowned and couldn't help but Zhu Bajie him:

"This is outrageous! Do you think you can have all three of my daughters by yourself? Aren't you being a bit too greedy?"

Upon hearing this, Zhu Bajie patted his belly and said to the old woman:

"Mother, what are you saying? In this day and age, who doesn't have three wives and four concubines? Even if there are a few more, I'll still take them all."

After Zhu Bajie gave a greedy laugh.

After a short while, the old woman came up with a plan.

"How about this: I'll blindfold you, and then they'll stand around you. You can choose whichever one you see, okay?"

Upon hearing this, Zhu Bajie immediately nodded and said to the old woman:

"Mother, what are you waiting for? Let's get started already, I, Old Zhu, can't wait any longer."

The old woman smiled upon hearing this and called out to her three daughters. Then, she covered Zhu Bajie's eyes tightly with a piece of gauze, patted it, and said to Zhu Bajie 'Zhu Bajie shoulder:

"Son-in-law, I've already blindfolded you, and my daughters are all standing in their positions, ready to begin at any time."

Upon hearing this, Zhu Bajie wiped the drool from the corner of his mouth and said to the old woman:

"Mom, you stand over there first, it would be terrible if you got hurt."
