When he was first promoted to deputy director, Wang Wei was very satisfied. He never dreamed that a peasant like him could one day become an official.
But gradually, people's greed increased, and Wang Wei wanted to go a step further.
Who would be willing to stay as a deputy director forever?
He tried hard for half his life, suffered a lot, and tried countless ways, but still couldn't get rid of this word "secondary".
It seemed like a lifelong shackle, his eternal destiny. He was called this from his 20s to when he was nearly 50, and he was still the deputy director.
Only then did he realize that his success and failure were all due to Fan Gaiqing, and his father-in-law, the Fan family, had never intended to let him rise to the top.
People hoped that he would take care of Fan Gaiqing for the rest of his life in an official position of moderate importance, and that he could not leave the county and could only be a puppet.
When Wang Wei realized this in his thirties, he was very sad.
He would rather not know the truth, and wished he were still like a headless fly, scheming everywhere to remove the word "deputy".
Because Wang Wei had no confidence and strength to resist the Fan family, his life would remain at this level forever.
After being depressed for a while, Wang Wei was unwilling to give up and rekindled his fighting spirit.
He thought that since he couldn't get more power, he would get more money!
So they started to plan, and thought of the black sand business, using their children's marriages to tie everyone together.
This trick is indeed very useful.
Through the huge network of relationships built up by his children, Wang Wei easily obtained a large sum of money.
He was not greedy and arranged rewards for upstream and downstream people.
Unfortunately, the second son of the Zhao family died at such an unfortunate time, and Wang Wei had no offspring of the right age to consolidate the marriage.
The second generation has already married, the third generation is too young, and the only eldest grandson of marriageable age has already found a wife.
Wang Yunman, the former daughter-in-law of the Zhao family, is even worse.
Because in their circle, there is no precedent of the younger brother succeeding the elder brother.
It's so embarrassing. A daughter-in-law takes turns getting married at home. If you don't know, you might think she is a barbarian.
So Wang Yunman let her biological mother Fan Gaiqing intervene in her second marriage and married Mingsen, who was recommended by Hu Peng.
Hu Peng originally wanted to go there by himself.
Although he has a wife, he can abandon her and children for the sake of power and his beautiful wife.
Anyway, how can reputation compare to the benefits you get?
This aunt is adopted and is not a real sibling of his biological father, so Hu Peng can still give it a try.
But Hu Peng's father stopped him, saying that he had talked to Fan Gaiqing and knew there was something fishy going on.
No matter how cautious Wang Wei is, he will reveal some information about the black sand business to his family.
Hu Peng's father didn't allow anyone in the Hu family to try to marry Wang Yunman because they were not a good match.
Add in the black sand, and you won’t even know how you died. If you’re not careful, you’ll be cannon fodder.
Hu Peng was really upset because he couldn't get his hands on the ready-made wealth.
Finally, he thought of letting Mingsen take over, because Gou You's sons and daughters were grown up and could not pass Wang Wei's test.
As long as Mingsen divorces Chen Sanni, he will be no different from a bachelor.
This way, Mingsen can eat meat and drink some soup at the same time.
Hu Peng praised Mingsen to the sky in front of his aunt Fan Gaiqing, saying that he was a gentle and considerate man who was very good to women.
Upon investigation, it turned out that he was very satisfied with Mingsen and had been very caring towards his wife for the past two or three years of marriage.
Even if things changed later, Hu Peng beautified it by saying that Chen Sanni did not give birth to a child, and Mingsen was unfilial, and the worst of the three was not having a son, so there was no other way but to have a conflict.
As long as Wang Yunman has a baby with someone else, Mingsen will take good care of his wife.
After hearing this, Fan Gaiqing felt that it was indeed true, and went to investigate Mingsen on the spot.
After getting the answer given by Hu Peng, Mingsen's answer really touched Fan Gaiqing's heart, making her decide on this son-in-law on the spot.
In this way, Mingsen divorced Chen Sanni and married Wang Yunman.
He thought he would rise to prominence and be able to do whatever he wanted in the officialdom, relying on his father-in-law to do whatever he wanted.
Unfortunately, Wang Wei did not want his son-in-law to escape from his control, so he secretly plotted to extort money from him.
Wang Wei sat up until midnight, thinking that his arrangement for Mingsen should be perfect, and then he got up and stretched his body.
His shiny head reflected the bright moonlight, and he slowly walked back to his room to sleep.
Wang Wei and Fan Gaiqing had already slept in separate rooms. He slept alone in the bedroom behind the study, staring at the moonlight outside the window and falling asleep.
In fact, Wang Wei slept alone because he had lost interest in Fan Gaiqing, whose belly was flabby.
He even made a nice excuse, saying that he was busy with work and didn't want to disturb his wife who was a light sleeper.
Many people are unaware of this and still praise him for loving his wife.
The bright moonlight not only shines on the window frames of the Wang family, but also on Mingsen’s small house.
He held three stacks of money, sat on a stool with an expressionless face, and quietly looked at the moonlight shining in through the window.
After a while, Minson shifted his posture, resting his elbows on his knees and wandering aimlessly.
This house faces south and is not as big as Wang Yunman’s wedding room, but it can be converted into a two-bedroom and one-living room at 60 square meters.
It was still in a rough state at this time, with no doors or windows at all.
He thought about his own plans and also hoped to keep a mistress and live a sweet life here.
It's so funny. In fifteen years he will be in his forties. Will he still be able to have children?
Even if he could, his life...
Wait, where does that sound come from? This is a newly built house, no one's living here yet?
Mingsen heard the sound of people talking and couldn't help but lean over to listen.
