History's Strongest Son-In-Law Living With The In-Laws

Chapter 2



I Am the Son-in-law Living with In-Laws

“Where is this? Didn’t I die?”

When Shen Lang opened his eyes again, he was in a completely foreign environment.

He laid on a soft bed with carved patterns. Everything around him was extravagant.

The rosewood table, exquisite silver chamberstick, soft sheep rug… All these showed that he was in a wealthy family.

Most importantly, everything in this room felt ancient and did not have any sense of modernity.

He looked down at his clothes. It was made of top-grade silk, but the design did not look like one that was found in modern days. Instead, it looked like the costumes in historical dramas.

There was a big mirror by the bedside. It was not a clear mirror and should be made of bronze.

Shen Lang stood up and gathered his courage to look into the mirror.

He could not be blamed for that. Ever since he was disfigured, looking into the mirror was like a nightmare. He would be shocked by his own face too.

When he saw the face in the mirror, Shen Lang was astonished and began to cry.

Although his face was pale, it was extraordinarily handsome and was almost identical to his face before he was disfigured.

Shen Lang was confident.

He had transmigrated. His spirit had gone into the past and ended up in this strange world. Now, he was in the body of a man who was foreign but familiar.

“It has been so long, my handsome face.”

Shen Lang looked at the face he saw in envy.

God really gave him a new life and a handsome face, although he was in a completely different world.

That was amazing. In fact, when Shen Lang had lost his parents, he no longer wished to stay on earth.

It felt amazing to have a new life!

At this moment, a bunch of complicated thoughts flooded his mind. It was the memory that belonged to the owner of that body.

It was a familiar but foreign world.

It was familiar because it was like ancient China and had a similar culture. The language used and the people were identical too.

It was foreign because it was not on earth since the region was different.

This world had the famous work of ancient Chinese, Four Books and Five Classics, and the foundations of Chinese civilization.

However, China’s dynasty didn’t exist, such as the Qin dynasty, the Han dynasty, the Jin dynasty…

That was strange. The territory was different from history, but the culture was identical.

That was because this world had undergone ultimate destruction before the rebirth of their civilization. All the books had been excavated and became the renaissance of this world.

Therefore, books like the Four Books and Five Classics were extremely highly-priced in this world.

Besides that, people fought physically in this world. However, when they did so, it was more developed than that of ancient China.

At this moment, the dynasty which Shen Lang was in was called the Dayan dynasty.

It was a large-scale country. The territory expanded over an area of 14 billion square kilometers. It was more significant than almost every single dynasty in ancient China.

Unlike ancient China, this dynasty had many vassal states apart from the central empires.

It was a vassal state similar to the relationship between the Zhou Emperor and the dukes. However, the central empire was much more potent than the Zhou family. All of the vassal states viewed the Yan Emperor as the real Son of

Heaven

Moreover, based purely on the civilization’s standards, the Dayan dynasty was way better than the Eastern Zhou period in China. It was similar to that of the Tang and Song dynasty.

Shen Lang was in the biggest vassal state of the South, the Yue State!

There were three provinces, 45 counties, and a unique governing state. The area was more than 590,000 square kilometers, and the population was over one million. The businesses were well-developed, the people were living well, and martial arts was blooming.

The Ning family had been ruling over the Yue State for more than 400 years.

Shen Lang was in the Tiannan State, Nujiang county, Wuxuan city.

The person whom he ended up taking over after the transmigration was also named Shen Lang.

Moreover, both of them looked very similar. This should not be a coincidence. However, nobody knew what the complicated reason behind this was.

However, after reading about the memory of the body, Shen Lang thought that this person had a flamboyant life.

Shen Lang was born and raised in Xuanwu City, Hanshui Town, Maple Leaf Village.

His family was non-native. They arrived in the Maple Leaf Village when Shen Lang was over two years old.

His parents were ordinary farmers. The Nujiang County was mountainous but did not have much land. Shen Lang’s family of four only had two

mus

of farmland and two mus of mountain land. His parents were very hardworking, but the crops they yielded in a year were barely enough.

Although he was born into such a family and was not the only son, his parents doted on him a lot since young and did not bear to scold him or make him work. Although his family was destitute, his parents sent him to school. Therefore, he was regarded as an educated individual.

However, his results were rather bad. After ten years, he could only recognize less than 1000 words.

It was not because he was lazy. In fact, he was very hardworking, but his poor results were due to his low IQ. Although he was not retarded, he was similar to Forrest in “Forrest Gump”—he had a friendly tone, gave a blurred expression, and had a slow reaction.

Apart from his handsome face, he was almost useless. In fact, he was the very icon of what an incompetent person was.

Meanwhile, his brother, Shen Jian, was a rascal. He had learned martial arts for several years but did not accomplish anything. Now, he became a hooligan.

While his parents aged, the condition of his family worsened, and they were now living in extreme poverty.

This year, he turned 18, and it had been nine years since he started school in town. However, he was still extremely stupid. Some of his batchmates had received degrees, but he was still in the beginner class and took lessons with students of age ten.

It felt as though others had begun university, but he had yet to graduate from primary school.

This was a downright embarrassment. The teachers were unwilling to continue teaching him since he was really too stupid that they could not teach him.

Therefore, he was dropped out of school.

Since young, his parents doted on him so much that he did not know how to do farm work or housework.

Therefore, when he reached home, he took a wooden stick and drew on the ground outside his door every day and lived off his parents. 𝚗𝗼𝘃𝒆𝙡𝘣Ꭵ𝔫.𝚗ℯ𝐭

His parents did not look down on him and still doted on him. Although his younger brother was a gangster, he treated Shen Lang very well too. Shen Lang’s brother did not have any complaints, although he had to suffer bruises to earn a few coins to support his useless brother.

While these memories flooded his mind, Shen Lang felt touched.

Since young, Shen Lang could eat white rice, but his parents and younger brother could only drink porridge.

When his father occasionally caught a wild rabbit in the mountains, he would sell it and leave a rabbit leg behind for Shen Lang. His brother, Shen Jian, could only drool in envy while eating his porridge.

His parents were really biased. They treated Shen Lang like a precious gem but treated Shen Jian like an unwanted weed.

Moreover, since Shen Lang was mentally disadvantaged, he was often bullied by others. To protect him, Shen Jian fought countless times.

What a loving story…

All these memories were still genuine up to now. Although Shen Lang’s family was impoverished, he was living a happy life.

However, since Shen Lang was so weak, why was he living in such an extravagant room?

That was because he married a wealthy wife. In other words, he lived with his wealthy in-laws.
