話說高老庄莊主，獨生女兒翠蘭，是個美麗的大小姐，因為父母年老力衰，全家受人欺負，手握人民生死大權的地保老爺，強行就要娶高小姐，竟然派人把她搶了，塞進花轎，抬回去就成親。
結果剛好被下凡的天蓬大元帥，豬八戒碰上，仗義出手，把地保老爺派來的打手們，痛打一頓，把他們都打跑了，把翠蘭小姐救下來，並且護送她回家。
豬八戒救了高翠蘭小姐，看到她美麗非凡，就動了凡心，想娶她為妻，也不枉來了人間一場。
為了娶高小姐，豬八戒用它一切可以變化的手段，把自己變成了一個普通人的模樣，雖然粗壯些，但是也還看得過去。
到高老庄之後，豬八戒無處可去，就接受了高老莊莊主的邀請，在高老莊住了下來。
為了取得高翠蘭小姐的歡心，豬八戒就努力表現自己，在他們家幹活，那叫一個玩命，每天大汗淋漓，被高小姐的媽媽看了，真是歡喜得很。話說高老庄莊主，獨生女兒翠蘭，是個美麗的大小姐，因為父母年老力衰，全家受人欺負，手握人民生死大權的地保老爺，強行就要娶高小姐，竟然派人把她搶了，塞進花轎，抬回去就成親。

為了取得高翠蘭小姐的歡心，豬八戒就努力表現自己，在他們家幹活，那叫一個玩命，每天大汗淋漓，被高小姐的媽媽看了，真是歡喜得很。
她想如果把八戒招為女婿，不但以後種地不缺勞力，而且他看上去勇武有力，又是翠蘭的救命恩人，以後家人也就不怕被別人欺負了。
因此她就試探高翠蘭的想法。而高小姐對八戒也是芳心暗許，第一是他救了自己，第二在她家幹活，這麼能幹，以後自己嫁給他，不但莊稼地的事有人管，而且也不怕被別人欺負了。
因此當媽媽問到她時，她雖然羞於開口，還是點頭答應了。
而高老莊莊主，高老先生，早就喜歡，看上了八戒，只是不知女兒的意思，所以當夫人把這件事告訴他時，也就馬上同意。
全家人都愛八戒，就馬上論及婚禮之事。高老先生認為這事不宜拖，應該馬上進行。
當他知道豬八戒在人世間沒有其他親友時，乾脆聘禮都不要，招他為上門女婿。
為防夜長夢多，在這事定下來的第三天，婚禮就在高老莊舉行，當地鄰居友人來了一大堆，豬八戒披紅掛綠，和翠蘭舉行婚禮，禮成後，就大開宴席。
豬八戒心裡這個樂呀，想想自己的身世，當年在天界的天蓬大元帥，就是因為開玩笑，摸了王母娘娘手下一個女孩屁股一下，就被懲罰下天，而且投胎個大豬，成了這麼一個醜模樣。
今天能娶到高小姐這樣一個美女，以後這一輩子也值了，至於以後還是不是回天上，他的心已經冷了，就這麼過一輩子也挺好，比在天上快活。
婚禮後，就開始又吃又喝。大家都來給新郎敬酒，八戒內心那個樂呀，就忘了自己用功夫改變的模樣，在酒醉後就無法隱藏。
結果樂極生悲，喝的大醉，倒在地上不起，原來大豬的嘴臉，就漸漸地顯露出來，露出原形。
高老先生一家和客人們，看到倒在地上，醉爛如泥的豬八戒，醜八怪模樣，都嚇得尖叫，跑了。
翠蘭也被嚇壞了，躲在屋裡不敢出來。還是高老先生有見識，告訴高老夫人不要慌，他們讓莊客們把爛醉如泥的豬八戒，用繩索緊緊地綑起來，扔到柴房裡面，由兩個壯漢看守。
第二天豬八戒酒醒了，看到自己被綑綁，知道壞事了，可是晚了。
他對高老莊主坦白了一切，老莊主知道真相後，對豬八戒還是挺同情，但是女兒害怕，這樁婚姻是不可能了，他拿出一百兩銀子，給豬八戒，讓他去自謀生路。
豬八戒離開，就要出農莊大門時，翠蘭來了，她已經知道了真相，給豬八戒帶來一雙牛鼻子雙槓布鞋，讓他路上穿，豬八戒也心酸，最後，狠狠心，又回頭狠狠地看了翠蘭一眼，出莊而去了。
（全文完）It is said that in Gao Village, the village chief had an only daughter named Cuilan, a beautiful young lady. Because her parents were old and physically weak, the whole family was often bullied by others. The local security chief, a petty tyrant who practically held the power of life and death over the common people, decided by force that he would marry Miss Gao. He even sent men to seize her, stuffed her into a bridal sedan chair, and planned to carry her home for the wedding.
As fate would have it, this happened to be witnessed by Zhu Bajie, the former Heavenly Marshal Tianpeng, who had descended into the mortal world. Seeing injustice, he stepped in without hesitation. He beat the security chief’s hired thugs so badly that they all fled in terror. Then he rescued Miss Cuilan and personally escorted her home.
After saving Miss Gao Cuilan, Zhu Bajie saw how extraordinarily beautiful she was, and mortal desires suddenly arose in his heart. He thought that if he could marry such a woman, then his coming down to the human world would not have been in vain.
In order to win Miss Gao’s hand, Zhu Bajie used every transformation skill he possessed to turn himself into the appearance of an ordinary man. Though still somewhat rough and broad in build, he looked acceptable enough.It is said that in Gao Village, the village chief had an only daughter named Cuilan, a beautiful young lady.

After saving Miss Gao Cuilan, Zhu Bajie saw how extraordinarily beautiful she was, and mortal desires suddenly arose in his heart. He thought that if he could marry such a woman, then his coming down to the human world would not have been in vain.
In order to win Miss Gao’s hand, Zhu Bajie used every transformation skill he possessed to turn himself into the appearance of an ordinary man. Though still somewhat rough and broad in build, he looked acceptable enough.
After arriving at Gao Village, Zhu Bajie had nowhere else to go, so he accepted the invitation of the Gao family patriarch and stayed there.
To win Miss Gao Cuilan’s affection, Zhu Bajie worked desperately hard. He labored for the family with all his strength every single day, sweating from morning to night. When Miss Gao’s mother saw this, she was delighted beyond words.
She thought that if Bajie became their son-in-law, not only would the family never again lack labor for the fields, but with such a strong and powerful man in the house, and one who had also saved Cuilan’s life, nobody would dare bully them again.
So she cautiously sounded out her daughter’s feelings.
As for Miss Gao herself, she too had quietly fallen for Bajie. First, he had saved her life. Second, he worked so hard for the family. If she married him, not only would there be someone to manage the farm work, but she would no longer fear being bullied by others.
Therefore, when her mother finally asked her directly, though too shy to say the words aloud, she still nodded in agreement.
As for Old Master Gao, he had long since taken a liking to Bajie as well. He simply had not known what his daughter thought. So when his wife brought up the matter, he immediately agreed.
The whole family adored Bajie, and wedding discussions began at once. Old Master Gao believed the matter should not be delayed and ought to proceed immediately.
When he learned that Zhu Bajie had no relatives in the human world, he decided not even to ask for a bride price, and instead invited him to marry into the Gao family as a live-in son-in-law.
To avoid complications from waiting too long, the wedding was held only three days after the arrangement was settled. A great crowd of neighbors and friends from the surrounding area came to attend. Zhu Bajie, dressed in bright wedding colors, married Cuilan in a proper ceremony, and afterward a grand feast was held.
Inside, Zhu Bajie was overwhelmed with joy. Thinking back on his past, he remembered how he had once been Marshal Tianpeng in Heaven. All because he jokingly pinched the backside of one of the Queen Mother’s maidens, he had been punished and cast down into the mortal world, reincarnated into the body of a pig, becoming this ugly creature he now was.
Yet today, he had married such a beautiful woman as Miss Gao. To him, that alone made this entire life worthwhile. As for whether he would ever return to Heaven again, his heart had already grown cold toward such thoughts. Living out his days here seemed far happier than life in Heaven.
After the wedding, the eating and drinking began in earnest. Everyone came to toast the groom. Bajie was so overjoyed that he forgot about the magic disguise he was using to maintain his human appearance. Once drunk, he could no longer control it.
And so, happiness turned suddenly into disaster.
He drank himself completely senseless and collapsed onto the ground. Gradually, the face of a great pig began to emerge again, revealing his true form.
The Gao family and all the guests, seeing the drunken Zhu Bajie sprawled on the ground in his hideous pig appearance, screamed in terror and fled.
Cuilan herself was frightened out of her wits and hid inside her room, too afraid to come out.
Only Old Master Gao remained calm and sensible. He told Madam Gao not to panic. Then he ordered the farmhands to tightly bind the unconscious Zhu Bajie with ropes and throw him into the woodshed, guarded by two strong men.
The next morning, Zhu Bajie woke from his drunkenness. Seeing himself tied up, he immediately understood that everything was ruined.
And indeed, it was too late.
He confessed the entire truth to Old Master Gao. After learning what had really happened, the old master actually felt quite sympathetic toward Zhu Bajie. But his daughter was terrified now, and this marriage could no longer continue.
So he took out one hundred taels of silver and gave them to Zhu Bajie, telling him to go make his own way in the world.
As Zhu Bajie was leaving and about to step through the gates of the estate, Cuilan came to see him.
She had already learned the truth.
She brought him a pair of sturdy cloth shoes with double-layered soles for the road ahead. Zhu Bajie felt his heart ache.
In the end, he hardened himself. Then he turned back once more and looked fiercely at Cuilan one last time before finally walking out of Gao Village forever.
(The end)
