Indirect Wealth
Also called Piān Cái, the Partial Wealth
A chart describes tendencies in a traditional system. It cannot decide health, money, law, marriage or children.
In the classical sources
非妻所带，乃众人之财也。
It is not brought by a wife. It is the wealth of the many.

About this relation
偏 means leaning or off to one side, and here it marks a wealth stem of the same polarity as the day master. A 癸 day master controls fire, and 丁 shares its yin, so 丁 is Indirect Wealth while 丙 is Direct. 淵海子平 has a short chapter of its own that also calls it the wealth of the crowd, and the fuller treatment is in 三命通會 卷六.
三命通會 separates this money from a wife's dowry and calls it the wealth of the crowd. Its chapter on Eating God calls the same position a natural gift from heaven's stores, one that asks no effort of the heart. Siblings are its worry, since Friend and Rob Wealth stems are said to carve it up, and the character it assigns is openhanded, warm and full of tricks.
The family scheme in 淵海子平 makes it the father, reasoning that it is the husband star of the mother, and also a secondary wife. That logic comes from a household with concubines and reads the chart from a man's seat. Modern popular books speak instead of side income, windfalls and a wide social reach, applications much looser than either source.
