Wealthy Family, Hehe

The Xu family of Xuanwu City owned a business selling silk and cloth. They had 10,000 mus of land of mulberry and cotton and were extremely rich.

The daughter of the Xu family, Xu Qianqian, was a stunning woman in the Xuanwu City. She was good at guqin, chess, calligraphy, and painting; she was one of the most talented ladies in Nujiang County.

Since she was 15 years old, she helped out with his family business. She was smart and hardworking and made many friends who were the daughters of officials. This allowed the Xu family to blend into the upper class of society in Nuzhou County.

She was beautiful, talented, and received the adorations of countless handsome young men. Shen Lang, the extremely stupid man, definitely did not match up to her. Although he was beautiful, he and Xu Qianqian were a complete mismatch.

However, nobody expected Xu Qianqian to suffer from a severe illness one year ago. Her father looked for every single doctor nearby but could not cure her disease, and Xu Qianqian was about to die.

At this moment, an alchemist found her father and said that Xu Qianqian was not ill, but she was bewitched. There was only one way to save her, and that was to make her marry someone to divert the bad luck to the son-in-law.

Of course, Xu Qianqian’s father did not believe that, but his daughter was about to die. Therefore, he had no choice but to make a public announcement to look for a husband for her in Nujiang county.

In the past, countless handsome men would fight for this marriage. Although Xu Qianqian was about to die, they would marry her because of the wealth of the Xu family.

However, the Xu family looked for a husband to get rid of bad luck for Xu Qianqian and to divert the bad luck onto the son-in-law. In this case, nobody dared to marry her.

Everyone loved a beautiful woman and money. However, they still valued their lives.

However, in this world, Shen Lang had met Xu Qianqian once unintentionally two years ago and thought about her every single day ever since.

Other young men probably only loved Xu Qianqian, but Shen Lang treated her as a goddess.

Ever since he was expelled from school, he drew Xu Qianqian on the ground.

He heard that Xu Qianqian was severely ill and needed a man to marry to get rid of the bad luck. When he did so, he rushed to the Xu family immediately. He then said that he was willing to marry Xu Qianqian to bring her good luck without even discussing it with his parents.

Of course, his parents and brother did not agree and rushed to the Xu family to stop this. However, it was too late. Shen Lang had already completed the marriage procedures with the dying Xu Qianqian. Despite that, his parents and brother insisted on bringing him home. However, they were chased out by the Xu family.

Now, the servant of the Xu family gave Shen Lang’s father, Shen Wan, 50 gold coins. However, Shen Wan threw the money back and said that he would definitely not take the money, for it would seem like he had sold his son.

After that, Shen Lang became the son-in-law that lived with his in-laws, the Xu family.

A handsome poor villager with low IQ married into a wealthy family.

Of course, Shen Lang did not do this because of the money. He merely did it to save his crush, Xu Qianqian, although using marriage to bring good luck sounded ridiculous.

However, something ridiculous happened. After marriage, Xu Qianqian miraculously regained her health and became even more beautiful.

This made the entire Xu family extremely happy, and they could not believe it.

Shen Lang did not try to claim credit for himself and remained in his own courtyard every day, reading and drawing.

The Xu family had mixed feelings about him. They were definitely happy because Xu Qianqian was able to recover. However, Shen Lang was a stupid and poor villager. He could not match up to Xu Qianqian at all.

Therefore, the servants of the Xu family began to talk behind their backs. Words like ‘to be out of one’s league’ and ‘the poor dude is daydreaming’ were often heard. The servants began to look down on Shen Lang as time passed.

The food they served him became worse. Initially, the food was cold. Then, the food became spoiled. Although Shen Lang’s family background was terrible, he was doted on by his parents from a young age. He would rather eat the food in his hometown than the food in the wealthy Xu family.

Besides that, he was being chased to live in the woodshed and did not have any beds. He slept on the ground with a mat.

Shen Lang had a low IQ; he was a naive and stupid person. Therefore, he would not complain and would endure it silently despite being bullied.

Eventually, when Xu Qianqian realized that, she became furious and punished the servants who treated Shen Lang poorly. Everyone was whipped more than ten times. Moreover, she made an announcement that she would chase anyone who bullied Shen Lang out of the Xu family.

Therefore, Shen Lang returned to the luxurious building and had perfect food every day. Moreover, every other day, Xu Qianqian would go over and talk to Shen Lang. Shen Lang felt like he was a deity living in paradise.

Although he had not touched Xu Qianqian’s finger once in the few months of marriage, he was delighted and happy as long as he could see her regularly and hear her voice.

However, half a month ago, Shen Lang suddenly fell ill. The famous doctors who Xu Qianqian found were unable to cure him and did not know what illness he was down with then. He became physically weaker as the days passed.

Until today, he died and allowed Shen Lang’s spirit to transmigrate, taking over his body in this world.

Therefore, Shen Lang’s short life was a complete misery, a stupid one!

…

Shen Lang sighed.

He realized that apart from the memory of both characters, there were other things in his mind.

It was filled with strange and unusual things. Shen Lang tried to focus and understand what was going on.

At this moment, he heard footsteps from outside the door.

“This useless guy should be dead. He is really good at lasting on for so many days!”

“It’s good that he died. If not, then he would tie Miss down.”

“Exactly, what a useless and poor countryside brat who wanted to marry Miss. How can his cheap life take this blessing? No wonder he died.”

“However, even if he died, it was worth it. Miss is like a goddess who treated him nicely and kindly.”

“Miss is too kind. How can she manage to talk to this mentally unsound person for half an hour every day.”

Xu Qianqian had once instructed that nobody could bully Shen Lang or they would be chased out of the Xu family. Therefore, the servants did not dare to talk on his back with that tone. However, since Shen Lang was about to die and could not hear them, they became more and more daring.

These servants opened the door as they sneered. Every 30 minutes, they had to come in to check up on Shen Lang’s condition.

“Go take a look and see if he is dead!” When they entered the room, one of the servants said as she covered her nose.

Then, in the next second, the servant gasped in shock and looked at Shen Lang in disbelief.

Just 30 minutes ago, she saw that Shen Lang was on the brink of death. Now, not only was he still alive, he was sitting on the bed. Although he was still physically weak, he was extremely energized.

“You… you are not dead?” said the servant.

“Yes, I am not dead,” said Shen Lang.

The servants stared at his face in shock. After a long while, the leader of the servants said, “Let’s tell the master and miss that Shen Lang is still alive.”

Then, the servants hurriedly left the room.
