Chapter 2199 You guys aren't having an easy time, are you?
To marry a wife, one must bring her family back to one's hometown, settle them in, and take good care of them.
This requirement would be outrageous, not to mention for a wealthy businessman, but for anyone else.
But the wealthy businessman agreed without hesitation, and the Wei family was overjoyed.
Although the capital city is nice, for the Wei family, who don't have much money, it's better to be a carefree old man and woman in a small town, where they don't have to worry about food and clothing.
They had already envisioned how, once Wei became the wife of a wealthy merchant, their own fortunes would rise accordingly. Once they arrived at the merchant's hometown, they would first have their son-in-law (brother-in-law) buy them a house, and then provide them with several maids.
If the wealthy merchant disagreed, they would not allow Wei to marry him.
Hearing this, Shu Yu thought the Wei family was incredibly stupid. What made them think that a family of people could be so delusional in an unfamiliar place? They were able to build a successful business and become incredibly wealthy, so why would a few stupid people take advantage of them?
Not to mention Shu Yu, even Aunt Hong thought they were daydreaming.
She looked at Wei Tang and guessed, "You two won't have a good life if you go back with that rich businessman, will you?"
Wei Tang wanted to retort, but after opening his mouth, he turned his head away in frustration.
Yes, it's not easy.
They initially thought that the wealthy businessman had taken a liking to Ms. Wei because he liked her, and that he would extend that affection to the Wei family as well.
After returning to the wealthy merchant's home, they learned that the merchant was only interested in Wei's birth time.
The wealthy businessman was already over thirty years old and had been married more than once. However, all three of his wives died young, leaving no children behind.
Not only that, but his concubines also failed to leave any children.
Seeing that his family line was about to end, the wealthy businessman was very anxious.
In particular, rumors have been circulating in the neighborhood that he will be widowed and childless and will die alone. Some elders in the clan have even urged him to adopt a child as soon as possible.
How could this be? No wealthy businessman would be happy to hand over so many family businesses to an outsider.
When he went to the temple to pray to the gods, a monk told his fortune. The monk said that he needed to marry a wife whose birth time and zodiac sign were compatible with his. If he married her, not only would he have many children and grandchildren, but his business would also flourish and his family would prosper more and more.
This divination was like a last straw, and the wealthy businessman immediately used his connections to find such a woman.
It just so happened that during his trip to the capital, he encountered Wei Tang looking for a matchmaker to arrange a marriage for his sister, and he gave her her birth date and time.
Upon hearing this, the wealthy businessman thought, "Isn't this a perfect match?"
The Wei family was greedy for money, and the wealthy merchant was greedy for people. The two sides hit it off immediately, but no one asked for the Wei family's opinion.
But for them, Wei's opinion was not important.
The Wei family demanded that the wealthy merchant take his family of three away from the capital before allowing him to marry Wei. To avoid any complications, the merchant complied with their request.
It wasn't until the Wei family followed the wealthy businessman that they gradually learned about these rumors surrounding him.
Of course, the wealthy businessman did marry Ms. Wei, and even held a grand banquet, inviting many relatives and friends to celebrate. This allowed the Wei family to witness the businessman's wealth and become dazzled by it.
But that's all.
The next day, the Wei family was completely jolted awake, as if they had been doused with a bucket of cold water.
The wealthy businessman did arrange accommodations for the Wei family, but the Wei family had to pay for them themselves.
