Chapter 94: Marriage DiscussionsThe Development here really took them unawares. Still, they all took note of this, feeling it both shocking and unbelievable by the situation.

    Several people frowned.

    "I’ve heard a lot about the changes there..." one of the old men alleged, leaning on the wooden railings all around the wagon truck’s open boot.

    "They haven’t even arrived at Geldhan village yet, and the level of construction they’ve seen in the way was incredulous.

    "Can they really all be millionaires?"

    Several people twisted their faces with buzzing heads. Don’t blame them for asking this question again and again. In all their lives, they have never seen as much as one hundred thousand, talk less of millions.

    What is the feeling one gets when seeing so many zeros in their bank account? Even when Mugenzi and his people visited, they didn’t feel the impact that much because they were in their turfs... their own home village.

    But now after leaving, they felt like fish out of water—especially when looking at the sort of vehicles travelling beside them.

    Vrmm, Vrmm~

    The engine of the old wagon truck was quite loud and shaky. Don’t get them wrong, they weren’t embarrassed by the vehicle they were using.

    Asking a farmer if he was embarrassed by his truck would be funny.

    They don’t even have vehicles. They only have bicycles.

    This is the Village chief’s vehicle!

    How can a man who has nothing be picky?

    They weren’t ashamed by the overly loud noises it made. However, it would be a lie to say they weren’t intimidated by the stream of cars that traveled with them on the roads.

    Looking around, they could only sigh. There are guards at every intersection.

    When Mugenzi told them the journey would probably take 4 and a half hours between both villages, they thought he was joking. But now, after travelling in the smooth Geldhan roads, they could only blame themselves for their limited imaginations.

    Father Cleave frowned, anxiety now welling up in his belly.

    Initially, he worried about his cabbage marrying into a poverty stricken one were she would starve to death. Now, he was worried that she was marrying into an overly wealthy one.

    What if they start bullying her because they have money?

    Father Cleave anxiously turned to Wangia inside the vehicle. "Daughter, let’s not marry again. I’m worried they will bully YOU."

    Pah!! Sear?h the NovelFire.net* website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

    Mother Cleave smacked the back of his lightly. "You old bastard! WHAT ARE YOU TRYING TO DO? Focus on the road. Our safety is in your hands."

    Mother Cleave paused, hiding the flicker of worry in her eyes. "Don’t you think it’s too late to turn around now? Besides, I’ve observed that kid quite well. I don’t think our daughter will suffer in his hands."

    ....

    Just like that, the group steadily advanced towards Geldhan village. They quickly found that the 3 roads now broke apart forming several more lanes.

    Wow! So many.

    Things moved even quicker than usual, as they drove towards one of the toll gates.

    1, 2, 3...

    They were In. They drove towards a building they were advised to first head to, taking their passes for the next 3 days.

    "Is this really Geldhan village?" One of the men murmured, recalling the last time he visited a friend here barely 5 months back.

    If this wasn’t a new era ruled by science, he would have liked to say: Sorcery!

    Definitely Witcraft!

    How can a place change so much? And why did it seem like the place only had construction workers living here?

    Don’t blame them for thinking this way. The number of construction workers here was astronomical. They were like ants moving around anthills.

    Look left, look right... everywhere you look, you see these people in clusters. Driving through the newly opened and expanded lower base region of Geldhan village, everyone kept marveling at the many changes around them.

    The place was clean, with trash bins strategically stationed across the space.

    Wipe! Was this a village or a town?

    In the distance, towering above the humble thatched roofs of old homes, stood sprawling estates with gleaming tiled roofs and white lacquered gates. Soon, Mugenzi met them halfway, after receiving news of their arrival.

    "Mother-in-law, Father-in-law, uncles!"

    Good, good, good, good...

    Everyone nodded like chickens like chickens, excitement full on their faces. They had seen Mugenzi a week ago in their village. But why was it that when seeing him now, they felt he was quite good-looking and reliable?

    Could it be that they felt this way because of the joy of entering ’unknown territory’ and seeing someone they knew and recognized?

    So what if they had friends living here now? The friends they knew loved in a Poverty stricken Geldhan village, and not THIS ONE.

    Well, they suddenly felt Mugenzi was not that bad... and why did he look even more handsome than he did last week? His face was sharper now, his posture straighter, but his eyes still held the warmth of the boy they once knew.

    "Welcome, everyone," he said, bowing slightly, before rushing back into his vehicle. "Please, follow me closely."

    Soon, they reached Mugenzi’s home, a simple thatched home with a particularly blinding villa behind it.

    "Is this... really his home?" whispered Mother Cleave, clutching her embroidered handkerchief nervously.

    Even Wangia was taken aback.

    Well, her husband was rich!

    Wangia felt pride swell in her chest, knowing that she made the right choice in life. She wanted someone who cared too much about money, but it was good to know that her children will be well taken care of.

    At least now she can taunt those university friends of hers who often laughed alin her back for having a village boyfriend.

    Hmph!

    Soon, both families met. And after a hefty Lunch, the tension between them was broken. When everyone saw the flexibility and usefulness of the spider bracelets, they almost couldn’t keep their butts to their seats.

    What? A robotic spider was carrying trash of food and you don’t think that’s cool?

    "Amazing! So your bracelet spider can help with house chores too? You people really know how to play Geldhan people

    "Dammit! You Geldhan people are lucky! Do you eat such foods everyday?"

    "That is, no wonder they look so good. If I eat like this, even I will look like a king."

    "Pfft, Old McCay, don’t receive yourself! If you can be King, then I must be your Father!"

    Bahahahahhahaja~

    Laughter flowed in the atmosphere. And as both families bonded, Wangia and Mugenzi secretly smiled at each other.

    SUCCESS!

    ....

    These days, there was merriment in every corner.

    What’s going on? Why are the old bachelors of Geldhan village marrying these days like water?

    Sure enough, money is the key to unlocking all doors. Several people who used to struggle to find one girl to date, now found themselves with a surplus of blind dates lined up from them.

    Distant friends of their parents who haven’t spoken. To them in ages, now sprayed out trying to pair them with their children.

    "Aiyo... Zion Hou, is that you? Although aunty is only seeing you through the phone, auntie is sure you’ve grown very big and strong. Auntie has a little daughter who is of marriageable age this year. How about it? Why doesn’t auntie set you two up?"

    "Hey... the little girl sure has grown well in this Geldhan village. Why doesn’t Uncle and auntie set you up with that worthless son of hours in Pluto City?"

    The villagers of Geldhan who were of marriageable age, suddenly found themselves drowning in a pool of potential partners. People from every nuke and cranny showed up.

    It wasn’t just the various uncles, aunties and elderly people who were actively tied to set them up. Even some classmates from school they’ve never spoken to, tried asking them out on multiple occasions.

    But how could they fall for such pitfalls now?

    With so many options, even if they wanted to get married, they had to be careful lest they bring in a troublemaker who won’t give them peace.

    Many people felt regretful that they weren’t friendlier to these new millionaires in the past.

    Dammit!

    Who can invent a time machine for them so they can go back into time to slap their former selves hard?

    They were afraid these Geldhan boys and girls would soon go to the sky, right? Several people were so angry that they shattered countless mirrors in their rooms.

    Hmph!

    So what if these Geldhan villagers got wealthy overnight? They are just newbie richy people, and are still more susceptible to seduction than others. These girls swore they wouldn’t give up till they snagged one.

    Like so, the internet and many others have been buzzing about the spectacular traditional wedding scenes that have been unfolding in Geldhan village these days.

    Truthfully, many Geldhan girls no longer wished to marry out. Several of them talked in groups about the situation.

    "Now that we all have money, why should we marry out to a place that probably doesn’t have good food like the one here?"

    "I agree! What’s more, haven’t you heard that if we leave the village to marry out, our little spider bracelets will be taken back since we will be transferring our residency out?"

    "Then in that case, why should I marry out?"
