chapter 3 rich, hey

by Haruki Murakami 16:30,Jul 14,2023


The Xu Family in Xuanwu City is engaged in the Journal of Silk and cloth business, owning tens of thousands of acres of mulberry fields and cotton fields, and is a wealthy party.

The Xu Family, Celestine Xu Qianqian, is a top beauty in the entire Xuanwu City. She is proficient in all kinds of piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, not only in Xuanwu City, but even among the ladies in the entire Nujiang County.

Since she was fifteen years old, she has helped her father manage the family business. She is smart and capable, and she also made friends with many high-ranking and noble daughters, allowing the Xu Family family to smoothly integrate into the high society of Nuzhou County from a merchant's home.

Such a beautiful, talented and rich lady is the dream lover of countless young heroes, and even the son-in-law who visits him will never be able to meet the stupid Scott Shen. Although he was very handsome, there was a world of difference between him and Celestine Xu.

But no one thought that Celestine Xu suddenly became seriously ill a year ago. The rich man Xu searched all the doctors around him but they couldn't cure him.

At this time, a alchemist approached Head of the Family and said that Celestine Xu was not sick at all, but bewitched by evil spirits. There is only one way to save his daughter, and that is to get married, and transfer bad luck and evil spirits to this son-in-law.

Of course Head of the Family didn't believe this, but Celestine Xu was going to die soon, so he could only use a dead horse as a living horse doctor, and openly recruit Celestine Xu in the whole Nujiang County .

If it was before, countless young heroes would probably fight for this marriage with their heads broken. Even if Celestine Xu was going to die, even if it was for the Xu Family's wealth, there would still be countless people vying to be the door-to-door son-in-law.

But the Xu family recruited a son-in-law to please Celestine Xu and to divert evil spirits, so that whoever dares to come to the door will be afraid to avoid it.

Everyone loves beauties and Gold Coins, but life is still important.

But Scott Shen, an imbecile in another world, met Celestine Xu by accident two years ago, and has been thinking about it ever since.

Other young heroes may just admire Celestine Xu, but Scott Shen completely regards her as a god.

Since he was driven home from the school, he wrote and drew on the dirt every day, most of which were Celestine Xu's appearance.

When he heard that Celestine Xu was seriously ill and needed a man to marry and celebrate to divert evil spirits, he rushed to Xu Family without hesitation, saying that he was willing to marry Celestine Xu and marry to celebrate happiness, and he did not discuss with his parents at all.

Of course the parents and younger brother didn't want to, they rushed directly to Xu Family to stop all this, but it was too late, Scott Shen had already married the dying Celestine Xu. Even so, the parents and brother insisted on bringing Scott Shen home, but they were kicked out by the Xu Family.

At that time, the House Manager of the Xu Mansion gave Shen Wan fifty Gold Coins to his father, but his father threw it back directly. He said that he would never take the money from selling his son.

In this way, Scott Shen became the Xu Family's son-in-law.

A handsome, poor IQ boy from the countryside entered a wealthy family.

Of course, Scott Shen's visit to the Xu Family son-in-law is not at all for the sake of glory and wealth, but just to save his dream lover Celestine Xu, even if it sounds completely nonsense to get married.

But a strange thing happened. After getting married, Celestine Xu really recovered and became more beautiful.

This made the Xu Family unbelievable and overjoyed.

Scott Shen didn't intend to take any credit, and he still stayed in his small courtyard every day, reading, writing and drawing.

The Xu Family's attitude towards him also became somewhat complicated. Of course they were happy that Celestine Xu was able to recover, but Scott Shen was after all a stupid and stupid poor boy from the countryside, not even worthy of Celestine Xu's fingers.

As a result, the servants and maids of the Xu Family gossiped more and more, such things as toads wanting to eat swan meat and poor boys wishful thinking often rang in their ears, and the contemptuous gazes of the servants looking at Scott Shen became more and more explicit.

The food delivered was also getting worse and worse. It was cold at first, but later it simply turned sour. Although Scott Shen was born in a poor family, his parents doted on him since he was a child, so eating in this wealthy Xu Family is not as good as eating in the countryside. at home.

Not only that, but he was also driven to live in a firewood house, without even a bed, and he was directly spread on the floor with a mat.

Scott Shen is mentally retarded, stupid and innocent, he will not sue, or even complain. When someone bullies you, you will just bear it silently.

Later, when Celestine Xu found out, she was furious and ordered to punish Scott Shen's servants who had treated Shen Lang harshly. Each of them was whipped more than a dozen times. And announced in public that if anyone dares to bully Scott Shen in the future, they will be directly expelled from the Xu Family.

So Scott Shen returned to live in the gorgeous courtyard again, and the daily food was excellent, even Celestine Xu would come to talk to him every few days, these days were completely like gods to Scott Shen.

Even though they have been married for several months, not to mention sharing the same bed, he hasn't even touched a single finger of his wife Celestine Xu. But as long as he can see him often and hear her voice, Scott Shen will be extremely satisfied and happy.

But just half a month ago, Scott Shen suddenly became seriously ill. Celestine Xu found several famous doctors for him, but they couldn't cure him. He didn't even know what disease he had. He became weak and dying every day.

Until today, he died directly, and only then did Scott Shen's soul from the earth travel through and occupy this body.

So, was his short life a total tragedy, and a stupid one at that!

...

Scott Shen sighed inwardly.

Immediately afterwards, he discovered that besides the memories of the two of them, there were other things in his mind.

He couldn't help concentrating on something full of magic and mystery, wanting to find out in his mind.

But at this moment, footsteps came from outside.

"This trash should be dead, he is really able to resist, and he survived for so many days before he died!"

"It's better to die, so as not to delay our lady."

"That's right, such a useless piece of trash, a poor boy from the countryside, who still wants to marry our daughter, how can he bear this blessing with his humble life? Sure enough, his life is ruined."

"But even if he dies, it's worth it. Our young lady is a figure in the sky, and she greets him every day with meticulous care."

"Our lady is kind-hearted. A person with a sick mind like this can chat with him for half an hour every day."

Celestine Xu once ordered that no one should bully Scott Shen, otherwise he would be directly expelled from the Xu Family. So these servants and maids didn't dare to ridicule Scott Shen like this before, but these days they couldn't hear Scott Shen when he was about to die, so they gradually became more courageous.

These servants and maids sneered while opening the door, and they would come in every half an hour to check on Scott Shen's body.

"Go and see if he has died!" After entering the door, a maid covered her nose and said.

In the next second, the maid let out an exclamation and looked at Scott Shen in disbelief.

She had just visited it more than half an hour ago, and Scott Shen Lang was already very angry, his face was full of lifeless anger, not only did he not die now, but he was sitting upright on the bed, even though his body was weak, he was actually quite energetic.

"You, you're not dead?" the maid blurted out.

"Yeah, I'm not dead." Shen Lang said.

Several servants stared at his face in astonishment, and for a long while the leading maid said, "Hurry up and tell the Elder Master, and tell the young lady that Scott Shen is not dead."

Then, several servants and maidservants hurried out.
