Because Wang Dafu and Qin Yue'e had already taken San Ya and Wang Yucheng to the border town.

Wang Dafu made his fortune by reselling local specialties over long distances. Now he is just starting over. At least his connections are still there, and he is ready to try this path again. With his experience, he is confident that he can do better than before.

During the past half month, he had never revealed the fact that he still had money. The group slept in the open air, only had dry food to fill their stomachs, and were ragged, dusty, and miserable as they made their way.

San Ya and Wang Yucheng were both very uncomfortable. This was not the good life they had imagined, but they came here to enjoy the good life, not to live this kind of life.

San Ya was better off. The food at home was just so-so, and she could still tolerate it. After all, she had something to hide and her own agenda, so she didn't want them to think she was too pampered.

When he was once again given a dry and choking pancake, Wang Yucheng wanted to say something but hesitated, and finally couldn't help asking, "Brother, how long are we going to eat it?"

Wang Dafu calmly consoled them, "You've all been through a lot on this journey. Traveling abroad brings many inconveniences, and keeping your wealth to yourself is the only way to stay safe. We'll be in Jincheng tomorrow. The daughter of a close friend of mine is getting married tomorrow, so we can go and join in the fun and relax a bit."

Hearing that he could finally take a break and attend a wedding banquet, Wang Yucheng regained his spirits.

San Ya also breathed a sigh of relief. So that's how it is. As I said, her uncle's family is rich. She began to look forward to the good days in the future again.

"Is she the daughter of the He family?" Qin Yue'e asked curiously.

Wang Dafu nodded and didn't want to say more.

But Qin Yue'e saw his attitude and didn't ask any more questions. However, she couldn't help but wonder which boy, He Yuecan, the only daughter of the He family, was so blind. No, how could he be so courageous as to be willing to marry her? She would have to take a good look tomorrow.

Just when they were all looking forward to tomorrow, An Yan and Rong Yan arrived in Jincheng first.

The two groups actually set out at about the same time. Wang Dagui and his wife, who stayed in Wangjia Village, were alone and could not cause any trouble. Now that the other members of the Wang family had left and the main battlefield had shifted, there was no need for them to stay.

So, Rong Yan hired a carriage, and the two of them walked and played, seeing the beautiful mountains and rivers, eating all kinds of special foods, and arrived in Jincheng leisurely and happily.

As soon as I entered the city, I heard people talking about it. The most talked about thing was that the only daughter of the He family was getting married tomorrow. Their expressions did not look like congratulations or joy, but rather a mixture of indescribable emotions.

An Yan and Rong Yan were eating local specialty noodles at a restaurant. They were smooth, chewy, spicy, and numbing. She casually asked the waiter, "Is there anything special about the He family's marriage?"

The waiter's face was filled with complex emotions. He smiled and said, "You two gentlemen are from out of town, aren't you? You might not know, but Miss He Yuecan of the He family is already 20 years old this year and still unmarried. Half a month ago, the He family suddenly began preparing for the wedding, but the groom hasn't been revealed at all, and no one has even seen him. It's truly intriguing."

The waiter approached mysteriously and whispered, "Some people guess that he was swindled from out of town, some guess that the groom was too ugly or not presentable, and some guess that this was a hoax to silence Youyou and that there is no such person."

Rong Yan was puzzled. "Why do people have such speculations? Now that she's older and meets the right person, it's understandable that she's anxious to get married."

The waiter cried out, "The He family is extremely wealthy and a well-known local merchant. Mr. He only has one daughter, and he naturally cherishes her like the apple of his eye. Marrying her is equivalent to owning the He family's wealth. Even if she weighs over 200 pounds and even if she is asked to marry into the family, there are many people who are willing to marry her."

"But when Miss He was a child, she accidentally fell from a rockery, leaving a scar on her face and a broken head. Her temper has also become volatile. I heard that during one of her attacks, she almost beat a maid to death. Alas, she wanted her family's wealth but didn't want to lose her life first, so she has wasted her time until now."

An Yan tossed him a piece of silver as a reward, and the waiter bowed repeatedly in gratitude, "Tomorrow Mr. He will hold a grand banquet and announce that he will share the joy with the people of the city. If you two are interested, you can go and take a look."

An Yan's brows twitched slightly, and Rong Yan understood. Since he was already here, he might as well go and take a look.

The next morning, Wang Dafu and his companions arrived at the He family's house. Mr. He personally greeted them, exchanged a few pleasantries, and then took them to the guest house that had been prepared long ago.

Wang Yucheng followed behind and looked around, his eyes wide open, greed evident on his face.

The He family was a luxurious and extravagant place. The mansion was enormous, with winding corridors. Without a guide, one would probably get lost. Every ornament and decoration was exquisite, exuding an air of wealth and extravagance. Even the servants passing by were exquisitely dressed.

This is where he should live! He couldn't help but sigh: "Master He's house is really a paradise on earth! If I could live here forever, I would not trade it for anything."

Mr. He laughed heartily and met Wang Dafu's gaze. He looked at Wang Yucheng with a more meaningful look, "Young Master Wang, you are too kind. Why not stay a few more days?"

Wang Yucheng was not polite and bowed to express his gratitude, then continued to admire the huge courtyard.

It was still early, and the maids fetched water for them to wash. Wang Yucheng and San Ya enjoyed the service of the maids for the first time. Although they were a little shy, they were determined to live such a superior life.

Wang Yucheng comfortably changed into his new clothes, made of materials he had previously been afraid to touch in tailor shops. A maid combed his hair and put on a tiara, which actually made him look more dignified.

After washing up, the Wang family gathered in the courtyard. After changing their clothes, they seemed to be reborn. Qin Yue'e hugged San Ya, who looked a bit like a young lady, and was very fond of her.

Wang Dafu looked at Sanya with a cold expression. He looked away and smiled again when he saw Wang Yucheng. "Come, let's have some food first."

It was still early for the wedding banquet, and knowing that they had been tired from the journey, a special meal was prepared for them as a welcome treat.

Looking at the table full of rich dishes, they almost vomited their dry food, but then they started to eat with relish, exclaiming as they ate, "It's so delicious!"

Wang Dafu poured wine for himself and Wang Yucheng, "Third brother, cheers!"

Wang Yucheng drank it all in one gulp, smacking his lips as he savored it carefully. "Rich and mellow, great wine!"

"If it tastes good, drink more!" Wang Dafu generously poured him another cup. The two of them toasted each other, and Wang Yucheng soon felt red in the face and dizzy.

San Ya ate her food silently. Qin Yue'e wanted to say something to persuade her, but as soon as she opened her mouth, Wang Dafu glared at her. She didn't dare to do it anymore and had to lower her head to eat.

"Take your time to eat. Third brother is drunk. I'll take him back to rest."
