The Crazy Son-In-Law

Xiao Shun had never cared about such things before. In his eyes, these people were almost dispensable to him. However, after his injury, he realized the importance of maintaining relationships. If it were not for Wang Ye and Qin Guangyuan, two titans of traditional medicine, who painstakingly treated him, Xiao Shun was not sure if he would have woken up. About twenty minutes later, the two arrived at Bamboo Court.

Qin Guangyuan was there, too. When Xiao Shun arrived, the two old men were playing chess in the hall. Wang Ye seemed to be in good spirits, which indicated that he must have recovered considerably. Seeing Xiao Shun comfortably sitting in a wheelchair, Wang Ye was extremely relieved. He knew his time was near, and he didn’t have any expectations anymore, but the Wang family would continue to exist. The fate that had been unbroken for more than 300 years was now all entrusted to Xiao Shun.

“Mr. Xiao, you’re just in time. The kitchen is preparing the meal. After this chess game, we’ll have dinner,” Wang Ye said with a smile.

“I came just in time for dinner,” Xiao Shun replied.

He didn’t need to be polite in front of Qin Guangyuan and Wang Ye, of course, he wouldn’t know politeness anywhere. About ten minutes later, the chess game was over and the meal was served. Duan Jia had stayed at Wang Ye’s place for a while and was naturally familiar with the place.

“Thanks to both of you for your help,” said Xiao Shun, raising his tea cup in lieu of alcohol, as his current health condition didn’t allow him to drink.

“It was nothing. You still have to be polite with us. Actually, we didn’t do much. You woke up mainly because your body is different from ordinary people,” Wang Ye said.

This was true. If it were an ordinary person, they would probably have died long ago.

“When you were in a coma, your pulse was even stronger and more regular than a healthy person’s, which is simply incredible,” Qin Guangyuan added.

“Perhaps it has something to do with my martial arts training since childhood. My body is naturally stronger than ordinary people,” Xiao Shun said with a smile.

“No wonder…” Wang Ye said thoughtfully, his eyes suddenly lighting up. “Mr. Xiao, do you think if we have the descendants of our Wang family practice martial arts from a young age, can we eliminate the strange disease in our bodies?”

Xiao Shun shook his head regretfully, saying, “To be honest, your family’s condition is not a disease, but a fate, like a curse. Only by changing your destiny can you resolve it. I think if martial arts were useful, your ancestors should have tried it long ago.”

Wang Ye nodded a little disappointedly in agreement.

“Mr. Xiao, I don’t have much time left. I entrust the Wang family to you in the future,” he then said earnestly to Xiao Shun.

“Why suddenly speak such disheartening words? There is hope until the last moment,” Xiao Shun was slightly surprised and comforted him.

“You don’t have to comfort me. If even you can’t save me in this world, I’m afraid not even a god could,” Wang Ye waved his hand, looking calm.

Xiao Shun really wanted to save him, but he was powerless.

“I promise you, if there comes a day when I can do it, I will do everything I can to change the destiny of your Wang family,” Xiao Shun promised.

Hearing this, Wang Ye immediately beamed, “With Mr. Xiao’s words, I can die without worry.”

“Enough, stop talking about death. You old man always spoil the mood. Can’t you wait until after the meal to talk?” Qin Guangyuan said.

“I can say whatever I want in my house whenever I want. If you don’t like it, let’s play another two rounds of chess after dinner,” Wang Ye retorted, his eyes flashing.

“Am I supposed to be afraid of you?”

After the two old men squabbled like children for a while, Wang Ye got up, fetched a dark red wooden box from the shelf behind him, opened it, and handed a jade token to Xiao Shun.

“This token is passed down from my ancestors. From now on, wherever you go, both Goodhealth Herbs and the entire Wang family will be at your command,” he said.

Xiao Shun took the jade token. The jade was ancient and warm to the touch. It was engraved with a figure holding a disk with what seemed to be a strange beast inside. He didn’t recognize what it was, perhaps it was some ancient divine beast.

“Alright, I’ll take it then,” Xiao Shun said with a smile, without any politeness.

He didn’t say it out loud, butif he had refused, Wang Ye might not rest in peace after death. Although it was harsh to say, it was the truth.

“I also have a matter to discuss with you both. In the future, the medicinal herbs I need will increase exponentially. I may need both of your families to increase the supply. I wonder if that is possible, of course, without affecting your business,” Xiao Shun said seriously.NôvelDrama.Org copyrighted © content.

Wang Ye and Qin Guangyuan looked at each other. The former was the first to speak, “Of course, there’s no problem. I can’t speak for other things, but our Goodhealth Herbs has dozens of suppliers, many of whom we have been working with for decades, and the quality is strictly controlled. We can definitely guarantee your supply.”

“Our Qin family naturally has no problem either. We just wonder how much you might need?” Qin Guangyuan asked.

“In the early stages, I may not need too much, but in the future, it may double. I can’t give you an exact figure now, I just wanted to give you a heads up,” Xiao Shun said.

Finding suppliers himself was too much trouble. Through Wang Ye and Qin Guangyuan, there was guaranteed quality and it was convenient.

“Also, I need to collect some rare medicinal herbs. Price is not an issue. I need both of you to assist me in this,” Xiao Shun continued.

Both of them were titans in the field of traditional medicine with connections throughout the country, especially Qin Guangyuan. As soon as their word got out, it would quickly spread throughout the traditional medicine community. Given their reputation, some people might even deliver the herbs to them personally.

“No problem, leave this matter to us,” Qin Guangyuan promised, patting his chest.

“I’ll make sure to pass on the word. Goodhealth Herbs and the Wang family will definitely support you wholeheartedly. But I wonder why Mr. Xiao suddenly needs so many medicinal herbs? Have you encountered any problems?” Wang Ye asked, frowning.

“I can’t disclose it for the time being, but it shouldn’t be long before I can tell you,” Xiao Shun said with a smile.

“In that case, we’ll just fully support you,” Wang Ye didn’t know how long he would live, and he didn’t know how long Xiao Shun meant by “not long”, but he expressed his firm support nonetheless.

After dinner, Xiao Shun didn’t stay at Bamboo Court for long. He said goodbye to Qin Guangyuan and Wang Ye and hurried back to Dingxin Road. His health was the most important thing, and the most urgent task was to recover as soon as possible.

“What do we need so many herbs for?”

On the way back, Duan Jia couldn’t help asking out of curiosity.

Qin Guangyuan and Wang Ye were not martial artists, and Xiao Shun didn’t want them to get too involved. As for Duan Jia, he didn’t have much to hide. He knew most of the things.
