My sister-in-law is the famed Rouge Tiger of Linan.
With a powdered face and thunderous methods, she keeps my brother so obedient he doesn’t dare take a concubine.
All the men of Linan laugh at him for being henpecked.
One day, my brother brought home a shy young woman named Yaoniang.
With a trembling voice, he stood protectively in front of her and said to my sister-in-law:
“Yaoniang and I have already been intimate. Whether you approve or not, I will make her my concubine today.”
My sister-in-law did not pick up the rolling pin again.
She only smiled and said, “Very well – I’ll let you have her.”
