Rebirth: Divine Doctor, Sweet Wife Chapter 506 - Target Confirmed

Chapter 506: Target Confirmed

“This w.a.n.g Jie is doing better than his older brother. He is eloquent and intelligent, although rather crafty. In the future, he will take over almost all the w.a.n.g family’s wealth and connections. The two old folks despise their older son for being useless, but dote on this younger son.”

Gu Qingyao’s eyes widened. “Then why would he fancy Sun Mei?”

He was such a catch, he could definitely find a city girl from a fine family. In these times, city dwellers were unwilling to marry village girls because they could not find jobs in the city.

Life was hard in these times. It was not easy to support a freeloader.

Mo Beihan smiled. “Their family is looking for a village girl, preferably one without family support and absolutely obedient.”

Gu Qingyao: “…”

Gu Jinhang’s gentle eyes were smiling, but if anyone saw that smile, they would be frightened.

“This w.a.n.g Jie is thirty years old this year. He was married before. His older brother’s son is actually his son. Also, his older brother seems to have suffered some sort of injury and is infertile, so he only has two daughters.

“Now, w.a.n.g Jie’s six-year-old son is the w.a.n.g family’s only successor. The two old folks place special importance on this son.

“More crucially, w.a.n.g Jie’s previous wife came from an excellent family. w.a.n.g Jie’s success to date is largely due to his father-in-law. He is a leader in a factory in the neighboring city. I heard he is at the deputy director level, although he is probably the least powerful of the deputy directors.”

“The w.a.n.g family will be transferred soon. They are moving so they can depend on their in-laws. Under these circ.u.mstances, it’s natural for the w.a.n.g family to treat their grandson like a deity. Now that they are looking for a wife for w.a.n.g Jie, they want someone who will be absolutely obedient and who won’t be a threat to the boy. I heard his father-in-law’s family is fairly domineering. They have forbidden w.a.n.g Jie from having children in the future. He is only allowed to have this son that he had with his former wife. He cannot even have a daughter.”

Gu Qingyao: “…”

Gu Jinfeng continued, “w.a.n.g Jie’s father-in-law also stipulated that she has to be a village girl because such girls have no one to rely on. Once she joins the family, she has no choice but to obey and take care of his grandson.”

Gu Qingyao: “…”

“That w.a.n.g Jie is very ambitious. He obeys his father-in-law in almost everything. As long as it will advance his career, he will do anything his father-in-law asks. He doesn’t care whether he has another child. In any case, he already has a son.

“As for finding a village girl for a wife, he is happy to do so even if his father-in-law’s family will not help him. He knows that even if he looked within the city, he could never find one with better credentials than his former wife.

“He has no requirements for family background. She just has to be young and pretty.”

Gu Qingyao: “…”

Gu Jinhang laughed at Gu Qingyao’s expression. “Why? Do you think we’re throwing Sun Mei into a fiery pit?”

Gu Qingyao pursed her lips. “It looks like that to me.”

Gu Jinhang smiled. “To you, it is like a fiery pit, but Sun Mei may have a different view. That family is doing so well, it proves that they will bring her to live in the city, and she won’t have to stay in the village to earn work points. Also, it will take her away from her older brothers who are always asking for hand-outs. Sun Mei will probably jump at the idea!

“But in a family like the w.a.n.gs, things may not go according to her way. She should consider why a family who has no requirements would want a girl like her. The city girls from good families are queueing up to marry him! Why would she be chosen?”
