"Impossible! I went to toast with him today, and his relatives and friends didn't say anything! Besides... why would someone hire another person to arrange a blind date and marriage? It's bound to be exposed, and if it is, I can get a divorce!" Hu Yanyan said incredulously, and the blush on her face faded as Jiang Yuan said this.
What's the point of going to all that trouble to find someone to deceive her? Even if you're married, it doesn't mean you can't get a divorce.
She was of average appearance and came from an average family, so she really couldn't imagine what the other party could possibly be trying to scam her out of.
Is this a scam?
The man was much richer than her family. Without her parents even having to ask, he gave her a dowry of 880,000 yuan and a house.
This dowry is considered extremely high in their area, and it also reflects the other party's attitude.
Could this be a marriage scam?
[Possibly, but if you get married under false pretenses and then realize something's wrong, you can still get a divorce!]
Is this a pig butchering scam?
[I don't know, let me think about it again!]
"Because everyone at the wedding, except for his parents and your parents, was hired. Each person was paid 200 yuan, plus a meal."
"They're not interested in you, they're interested in your birth date and time."
"Four months ago, the doctor announced that his son would not live much longer. The elderly couple discussed it and decided to find a wife for their son so that he would have a companion on his journey to the afterlife."
"Originally, they wanted to find someone around the same age as their son who was about to die, but then a relative of theirs mentioned that for a ghost marriage, they should find someone whose birth chart was compatible with their son's, so that their son could be reborn into a wealthy family."
"The elderly couple took their son's birth chart to the master for a reading. The master said that they needed to find someone with the Yang element in their birth chart and whose zodiac sign was Pig to bring good fortune to their son."
Are these "masters" really that unethical these days? They even arrange ghost marriages?!
[That's right, some money can be earned, but some money will bring retribution!]
"The master didn't know that the other party wanted a ghost marriage; he thought it was a normal marriage," Jiang Yuan explained in response to the netizens' criticism of the master.
In some places in the modern world, it is customary to match birth dates and zodiac signs before marriage.
Some people choose partners based on their zodiac sign, fearing that the other person will clash with their own or that they will be incompatible. Therefore, most people will consult a fortune teller before choosing a partner to see which zodiac sign is most compatible, and then choose only a few zodiac signs for the girl or boy.
“Women are Yin in nature, and it’s difficult to find someone with Yang in their destiny. Plus, there’s a specific zodiac sign. The old couple secretly asked people to look for them for several days. Among so many girls, your birth chart is the most suitable. They didn’t care about your appearance, but your birth chart is so good that their son couldn’t wait.”
"So, they chose you."
"But their son is bedridden and gets out of breath after walking just a few steps. It's obvious he doesn't have long to live. If their son were to meet you and ask you to go on a blind date, you would definitely refuse. They racked their brains and finally came up with a good idea: to hire someone to pretend to be their son and ask you to go on a blind date."
"Once the deed is done, everything will be settled, and that's what they think too."
"Once you marry into their family, it will be too late even if you find out the truth, because they plan to bury you and their son together on the day you marry in, so that you can be a couple in the afterlife."
"Ten days ago, their son's condition worsened, and they knew things couldn't be delayed, so they came to your house to propose marriage, offering a dowry of 880,000 yuan plus a house, on the condition that the wedding be held as soon as possible. Your parents readily agreed."
"You were completely unaware of the situation and thought you had married into a good family."
Jiang Yuan parted her thin lips slightly, and although her voice was soft, it sent chills down the spines of those who heard it.
【What? What? What? On the road to the underworld?】
[A ghost marriage?]
[This sounds like a ghost marriage to me, how scary! How can people still believe in this in the 21st century?]
I've heard that if a ghost marriage is compatible with the deceased's birth chart, it can bring good fortune to their next life.
[Feudalism, truly feudalistic thinking!]
"Master, what do you mean..." Hu Yanyan was horrified, and her face turned pale.
"Yes, you've been scammed."
“The 880,000 yuan and that house weren’t your dowry; they were money to buy your life. Your parents wanted to use that money to find a wife for your younger brother. Those people outside weren’t their relatives; they were hired. They were plotting how to put you in a coffin without anyone noticing,” Jiang Yuan continued.
"So...my parents know too? And they tacitly approve?" Hu Yanyan shuddered, goosebumps rising all over her body.
She started working at a young age, and all the money she earned went to support her family, including her younger brother's university education.
Before she turned 28, she had never used cosmetics or worn makeup, but she had used skincare products, all of which were cheap items costing only a dozen yuan.
After she turned 28, her younger brother graduated from university, and she began to save some money to spend on herself. She bought herself a set of cosmetics and slowly started learning how to do makeup.
Her parents treated her very well, giving her priority when there was something delicious to eat, while her younger brother usually didn't get any.
So she always felt that the so-called preference for sons over daughters didn't exist in her family; her parents liked her more than the boys.
Now, the streamer tells her...
Her parents risked their lives to find a wife for her younger brother.
This news came like a bolt from the blue.
She remembered.
Her parents were always frugal and would not go to the hospital for minor illnesses until they could no longer delay.
But after the groom's parents came to visit and discussed the bride price, her parents suddenly became extravagant. Not only did the elderly couple spend several thousand yuan on medical check-ups at the hospital, but they also bought some bird's nest.
Of course, she also got a bowl of the bird's nest after it was cooked.
Her parents also said that all the dowry would be returned to her intact on her wedding day.
She was truly moved when she heard that.
She never imagined that the entire dowry would be brought back to her own family, but her parents gave it to her untouched.
Thinking of this, Hu Yanyan immediately remembered something, got up, opened the bag that came with her when she got married, and took out a bank card from it.
Then, I opened the live stream window and opened my bank app on my phone.
After entering her username and password, Hu Yanyan felt a chill run down her spine.
The account balance is zero.
Not a single penny.
This is the bank card her mother gave her when she got married. She said that 880,000 yuan was deposited in it, and told her to keep it safe and never let anyone find out about it, and not to tell her husband about the existence of this money.
Her mother's advice was sincere, and she took it to heart.
Unexpectedly, her mother had long been prepared that she would never see the balance on this card in her entire life.
In their eyes, she was already dead from the moment she got married.
Hu Yanyan felt utterly disheartened and let out a cold snort.
The love she thought her parents had for her was all a lie.
She thought she had married a good husband, but it turned out he was a fake.
It's all fake!
"They're preparing their tools and about to break in. Get out through the window!" Just as Hu Yanyan was thinking this, Jiang Yuan's voice became more serious.
