Why did the wealthy man dismiss his wife's vision about donating money, and what was the consequence of his miserliness on the temple renovation?

As detailed in Chapter 47, the wealthy man dismissed his wife's vision for several reasons rooted in his skeptical and crooked nature. He rationalized that visions are merely the result of disturbed sleep and shouldn't be considered real. He also projected his own untrustworthy nature onto the situation, suspecting the dream might be a divine ploy to create a rift between him and his wife. The direct consequence of his miserliness, and the general lack of heartfelt donations, was that the temple renovation was continually delayed. The text notes, 'When the money stopped, the work also stopped,' because the miserly man refused to contribute even a single penny from his own pocket to ensure the work's progress.
