Mr. Tang is not poor, he is a descendant of Emperor Tang of the East. (Headcanon )
Nothing is real, it's from fan to fan π
Posible Spoilers
In the Monkie Kid Lego series, he introduces us to a Mr. Tang. What would they say yes, this man was as a millionaire as Mei?
It is very likely that the lord belongs to a family of high prestige, his dress betrays him.
An example is, in Mei's family, hey. As descendants of the dragon that accompanied the Tang Monk, their clothing is based on Tangzhuang εθ£ costumes.
Following the Asian philosophy, people who come from an ancient full of fame and history, it is common to see them wearing traditional clothes of their country, the same happens with the Japanese. For those who have seen anime, it makes sense.
Another point.
In the penultimate episode of the series, season 2.
Transformation. (if I remember correctly)
Everyone has gotten up at midnight. We will see everyone's clothes, with bedding.
Tang has full pajamas up to matching slippers. While the others are simple pajamas. (We don't put Mei here, because she prefers to be normal)
SPOILER β οΈ
It is seen that, when the Monk Tripitaka left the East, he abandoned his family, but continued to call himself, brother of Emperor Tang. (I don't doubt it was)
Tripitaka before being a monk, was the son of a family of great wealth, both paternal and maternal.
A mother of a famous family in the East.
A father who belonged to the Court of the Emperor and governor of a city.
The Emperor of the East was also among his relatives.
Since being a monk, he could not have children or descendants.
So, Lord Tang is a descendant of the same Eastern Tang Emperor.
Reason 1: The Monk Tripitaka was very close to him.
Reincarnation is very common among the families of the deceased. I do not doubt that after dying, the Monk Tripitaka wished to be born again, in the family of his closest beings.
Reason 2: If it weren't so important and important family. Why was he invited?
When he is appointed as a food judge. Season 2 Episode 3
The variables are, it's culinary critical, it can be, no one would deny it if it weren't true.
Variable two, they name him: "This guy."
And Tang replies, "Thank you for having me."
In the chapter, those two rascals recruit important judges, but not only them, but also the company.
Princess Iron Fan is invited, one owed something to the demons. Two, he's an important person.
The series focuses on a world where humans and demons coexist in harmony (more or less). So the Princess, with the absence of her husband, was doing something.
A businesswoman. Man!
And also invited Monkey King (more or less) who is also famous.
Tang was invited, because he comes from a wealthy and important family. And for business I had to attend.
Another reason to say that, its relaxed and calm form is justified.
Who wouldn't be relaxed with so much money in their hands?

Although Pigsy says that he is a profiteer, Tang does not deny it. He is probably a parasitic junior to his parents.
They will say that, Pigsy talks to Tang sombre to pay the rent.
But it is never specified who should pay for it, it is more likely to be Mk.
Since Pigsy somehow knows that, if Mk joins Tang, he will be a 'lazy profiteer'
Possibly Tang studied martial arts in his family, but he didn't have the talent or maybe he didn't have the dedication for it. Staying with books and art. I wouldn't be surprised if he danced.
In conclusion.
Tang is the reincarnation of the monk Tripitaka, who with the wheel of transmigration, was born into a wealthy family.
This is based on Season 3.
Tang says, "My mom said not to hang out with criminals."
In the novel he tells the story of a boy who did not fully enjoy his family, so he was given the opportunity to have one again and grow up as a normal child.
Therefore, Tang had a mother to consent to it, something that the Monk did not experience. Tang is the happy ending that was given to the Monk after being a great virtuous man.
