How did the miserly husband trick his wife when she decided to sell her ornaments for the temple?

When his wife resolved to sell her personal ornaments to fund the temple, the miserly husband devised a deceitful plan to keep the wealth in his possession. As Chapter 47 details, he became agitated at the thought of losing the valuables. Instead of giving her cash, he appraised her ornaments at one thousand rupees and "purchased" them himself. In place of money, he transferred a worthless, barren, and unproductive piece of marshy land that was already mortgaged by someone else. He then cynically instructed his wife to donate this useless land to God, allowing him to acquire her valuable ornaments while she unknowingly offered a worthless property with sincere love.
