Returning to 84, hunting for wealth, one person feeding three families.

As night fell, Ye Chen went to the backyard.

Knock on the door where Luo Ling is!

"Come in, the door's unlocked!" Luo Ling said directly, as if she had known Ye Chen would come.

Ye Chen pushed open the door and walked in, only to see Luo Ling sitting at the table with her hands on it.

When she raised her head, her eyes were clearly red. Just now, Luo Ling had locked herself in her room and used tears to wash her wounds.

"It's alright. Your dad was just worried. Here's what we'll do: I'll go to the bank to withdraw some money tomorrow, and then we'll go see him. If you're willing, I'll do anything to help the Luo family get through this difficult time!"

Seeing this, Ye Chen couldn't help but feel sorry for her, and immediately took the initiative to back down.

Despite Ye Chen's concern, Luo Ling shook her head indifferently.

"That's not what upsets me, Ye Chen. You did the right thing. My dad is just not cut out for business. No matter how much money you give him, it won't be enough for him to lose!"

"Ye Chen, I've thought it through. Now that I'm married to you, I'm a member of the Ye family. The Luo family's businesses are no longer my concern. Since he shows no remorse, let him fend for himself!"

Upon hearing this, Luo Chen quickly stepped forward, put his arm around Luo Ling's waist, and gently comforted her.

"How could there be such a deep-seated hatred between a father and daughter? If you ask me, your father was only doing it for the good of the family."

"Ye Chen, you don't understand at all!" Faced with Ye Chen's words of advice, Luo Ling shook her head calmly. Then, a look of confusion appeared in her eyes, as if she were lost in memories.

"When I was very young, I rarely saw my dad. My mom told me more than once that my dad was always out having affairs and never did anything productive!"

"Back then, my grandfather was in charge of the Luo family. He placed all his hopes on me from a young age. When he passed away, he originally planned to pass the family business directly to me."

"My father caused trouble time and time again, and finally, my grandfather changed his will, but in the end, he was still angered to death by my father!"

"My dad has no conscience at all; all he cares about is money. He hoarded grain and tried to profit from the national crisis. How could the country allow that?"

"I originally thought that he would change after going to the labor camp, but now it seems that old habits die hard!"

"Ye Chen, you don't need to worry about these things. I'm okay with it. I will make a name for myself and even surpass the Luo family, restoring Grandpa's glory!"

Hearing this, Ye Chen finally breathed a sigh of relief. He was afraid that Luo Ling might do something wrong again.

But now it seems I was just overthinking things.

Putting everything else aside, Luo Ling is at least able to distinguish between good and evil, and clearly understand who is right and who is wrong.

Understanding this much is enough!

……

That evening, Luo Guanzhong, somewhat angry, returned to the provincial capital overnight.

As soon as I stepped into the courtyard gate, a familiar voice came from outside.

"Uncle Luo, my dad sent me specifically to see you. I heard you're short on money? Uncle Luo, why don't you reconsider?"

"Our Zhang family is very willing to help you, but we need you to agree to a small request!"

Zhang Shaoyang walked into the courtyard with a smile on his face and took the initiative to explain in front of Luo Guanzhong.

Luo Guanzhong frowned slightly, but his heart was filled with turmoil.

What I lack right now is funds. As long as I can restart a few factories, I won't have to worry about making money!

If the Zhang family is truly willing to offer help in their time of need, I would be more than happy to do so, but what exactly do they want?

"Why don't you tell me about the conditions of your Zhang family first?" Luo Guanzhong asked, his brows furrowed slightly.

Zhang Shaoyang then smiled and said truthfully, "Uncle Luo, you should know that I've admired your daughter since I was a child, and I've always wondered when I could be with Luo Ling!"

"Even if Luo Ling is married now, I won't look down on her. Uncle Luo, as long as you give me a chance, I will definitely cherish Luo Ling!"

"But Luo Ling has already remarried that brat Ye Chen. Don't you think it's too late to say this now?" Luo Guanzhong explained with a frown.

Zhang Shaoyang, however, looked fervent and suggested, "Uncle Luo, you're wrong. They've only made a private vow; how can that be considered a valid agreement?"

"As the saying goes, marriage is arranged by parents and matchmakers. Ultimately, Luo Ling's choice of who to marry is up to you!"

"Our asking price isn't high. All you need is for you to sign a marriage contract with the Zhang family. Furthermore, we'll manage the factory for you, and we'll cover all the initial investment!"

"Uncle Luo, our Zhang family is all doing this for you. We don't want a single share of your business; we'll work for you and manage the business for free. What are you hesitating for?"

For a moment, Luo Guanzhong was caught up in the comparison.

Compared to the demands made by the Zhang family, Ye Chen's side is really pushing their luck!

To give half of his shares to Luo Ling? What's the difference between that and cutting off his own flesh?

After careful consideration, Luo Guanzhong had made up his mind.

Why not cooperate with the Zhang family? In the end, all the money we make will still be ours. It's just a matter of selling a daughter!

"Let me make this clear in advance: I'm willing to sign the engagement, but whether Luo Ling is willing to marry you is up to her!"

"Uncle Luo, don't worry. All we need is for you to state your position. Once the marriage contract is signed, the Zhang family will handle the rest!"

Upon hearing this, Zhang Shaoyang beamed and nodded in agreement.

Luo Guanzhong finally breathed a sigh of relief and took the initiative to say, "Since you've agreed to all my requests, what's the point of all this arguing? Hurry up and lead the way!"

"I'm going to see your father now. We'll have a good talk. If in the end you and Luo Ling really do end up together, then all my efforts won't have been in vain!"

"Uncle Luo, you're right, no, I should call you Dad now!" Zhang Shaoyang said shamelessly.

Upon hearing this, Luo Guanzhong not only didn't find anything wrong with it, but his smile deepened.

"Alright, alright, in that case, we're family from now on. You absolutely have to help Uncle Luo when he's in trouble!"

"Uncle Luo, come with me. My dad has already made arrangements, and the family has prepared the money. As long as you two reach an agreement, the factory can start production tomorrow!"

At that moment, led by Zhang Shaoyang, Luo Guanzhong immediately arrived at the Zhang family.

The two parents got together and discussed it for a long time. In the end, Luo Guanzhong signed the marriage contract directly.

Upon seeing this, Zhang Shaoyang's father beamed with joy and immediately took out one million.

With this money, Luo Guanzhong became even more arrogant, and when he looked at Zhang Shaoyang, he directly addressed him as his son-in-law.

Finally, after a few polite exchanges, Zhang Shaoyang saw Luo Guanzhong off.

Upon returning home, Zhang Shaoyang's father immediately laid out the marriage agreement and began to give his son some instructions.

"Go to the county town tonight, and tomorrow morning file a lawsuit against Ye Chen, saying that he committed bigamy by being with three women."

"Then, with this marriage contract, we'll force Ye Chen to sever his relationship with Luo Ling. Since you want to marry Luo Ling, you must bring her back!"
