Marrying a White Snake Wife is Super Cool-Chapter 42: What Kind of Dogshit Luck Did the Su Family Have!

Chapter 42: Chapter 42: What Kind of Dogshit Luck Did the Su Family Have!

"Back then, I pulled out my gun, and BANG! That old hag melted into a puddle of green water and collapsed!"

Lu Yuan was currently holding Su Liyan’s small hand, walking toward the village while gesturing animatedly.

And Su Liyan, clinging to Lu Yuan’s arm, had sparkling eyes and a face full of adoration as she said:

"Darling~~ You’re so amazing~~"

Lu Yuan grinned smugly. Just as he was about to say something, he saw Lin Fusheng driving the carriage beside them.

He then added:

"Of course, it was also thanks to Lin Fusheng putting out the Bone-Eroding Incense right then. We were able to see clearly because of him."

At that moment, Lin Fusheng, who was off to the side, stared blankly at Su Liyan, completely dumbfounded.

’Is... is this really the same person from last night?’

"Alright, Chief Shopkeeper Lin, this is far enough. There are people coming up ahead. Are you sure you won’t stay for a cup of our wedding wine?"

Lu Yuan said, looking at the dazed Lin Fusheng beside him.

Last night, after gathering the people outside the courtyard and asking a few questions, he had learned about the matter of the yellow-skinned creature.

Lin Fusheng had performed a great service and was immediately arranged by the old butler to work in the city.

From now on, he would no longer have to serve Lu Yuan.

Today was his last time driving the carriage for Lu Yuan.

After Lin Fusheng came back to his senses, he quickly waved his hands and said:

"No, no, I still have things to attend to in the city. I’ll just help you drive the carriage in. I’ll have to skip the wedding wine..."

Seeing that Lin Fusheng was adamant about not staying, Lu Yuan didn’t press the matter.

It was just a little strange. Ever since last night, that fellow Lin Fusheng seemed to have become inexplicably more respectful toward him.

Soon, people came out from the village to greet them.

It was a large crowd, but the vast majority were villagers who had come to watch the spectacle.

The group at the very front, however, was Su Liyan’s family.

Once they arrived, Su Liyan began introducing her family to her husband.

In reality, there was no need for Su Liyan’s introductions.

With his system, Lu Yuan had already gotten a good idea just by looking at the crowd.

This was because the Multiplication Factors of Su Liyan’s family members toward Lu Yuan were all very high.

Su Liyan’s father, second uncle, third uncle, second aunt, third aunt—all of their individual Multiplication Factors were 4.

A Multiplication Factor of 4 was already extremely high for the current Lu Yuan.

Ever since Lu Yuan met Zhao Qiao’Er and became her close nephew, she doted on him as if he were her own son.

Because of this, the Multiplication Factor for most ordinary people had basically dropped to 1 or even 0.

He had discovered this after he rescued Zhao Qiao’Er and returned to the village last time.

Previously, many villagers had a Multiplication Factor of 2, but after he became associated with Zhao Qiao’Er, those who were originally 2 dropped directly to 1.

Furthermore, back when Lu Yuan used to go into the city, he would see some officials and the like.

Their Multiplication Factors were 3 or 4.

But when he returned today, he saw that those same officials were now all 2s.

’It must be related to the change in my status. Before, I was a nobody, just an ordinary person.’

Naturally, those people could have been helpful to him, and interacting with them would have brought him great benefits.

But what was Lu Yuan’s status now?

He was the close nephew of Taiping City’s Black Widow—her sweetheart!

The Black Widow of Taiping City was so devoted to Lu Yuan she would have given him her all.

So, with Lu Yuan’s current status, it was only natural that the Multiplication Factors for ordinary people would drop.

Thus, for Lu Yuan, the Multiplication Factor of an ordinary person was now basically just 1.

As for those with official posts, like some common officials, their factor was 2.

A Multiplication Factor of 4, like that of Su Liyan’s family, was truly, truly high.

This high factor wasn’t because of their status.

It was because they truly saw him, their son-in-law, as family. This was a family-level Multiplication Factor.

’This factor should be the absolute peak.’

Unless their status changed in the future, if they remained ordinary people, the factor would stay at 4.

But let’s not get into that for now.

Aside from these with a factor of 4, there were two others who were different.

One was a young man who looked to be seventeen or eighteen, a bit younger than Lu Yuan, and also had vertical pupils.

’This must be Su Liyan’s younger brother, Su Changliang.’

Su Changliang’s Multiplication Factor was 5.

Lu Yuan couldn’t figure out why Su Changliang’s was 5. ’Does he have some kind of official rank or title?’

’Or what?’

’But I haven’t heard my wife mention anything...’

Setting aside Su Changliang for a moment.

There was another woman in the group, and this woman also had vertical pupils.

And from her appearance, he could see a slight resemblance to Su Liyan.

Needless to say who this was.

It was definitely Lu Yuan’s mother-in-law.

And the Multiplication Factor above this mother-in-law’s head was...

[Multiplication Factor: 9]

A rainbow-colored light.

’This??’

’Huh??’

’My mother-in-law is a direct Multiplication Factor of 9??’

Lu Yuan followed Su Liyan’s introductions, greeting each person in turn.

First, he greeted Su Liyan’s father. Then, looking at his mother-in-law, Lu Yuan immediately said:

"Mother."

At Lu Yuan’s "Mother," Su Liyan’s mother couldn’t have been happier.

She immediately responded with a hearty acknowledgement.

And as the two finished their greeting.

[Ding! Congratulations, Host, for triggering Shang Qingying’s 9x reward. You have obtained: "Shennong"]

Lu Yuan: "????"

’What the hell is going on??’

Still completely baffled, Lu Yuan greeted the next person.

A Multiplication Factor of 4 yielded no reward; only a factor of 5 and above did.

And after Su Liyan’s brother, Su Changliang, looked at Lu Yuan with a somewhat simple and honest expression and called him "Brother-in-law," Lu Yuan received a reward of one thousand taels.

Lu Yuan dazedly followed the Su Family toward their home.

Along the way, the villagers stood on the roadside, craning their necks to get a look at the Su Family’s new son-in-law.

Last night, everyone had speculated endlessly about this son-in-law.

They figured the Su Family’s son-in-law must be the defective son of some wealthy family.

Either there was something wrong with his head, something wrong with his limbs, or he was deformed in some way.

But now, seeing Lu Yuan in person...

...the crowd was a little dumbfounded.

Hey, he was handsome, stood tall at around five-foot-ten, and seemed refined and gentle.

He was surprisingly good-looking.

In an instant, a wave of jealousy washed over the villagers. How could someone like him have taken a liking to Su Liyan?

The crucial part was that after marrying her, his family still treated Su Liyan with such importance.

When Half-Demons like her married into other families, they were treated like beasts of burden. Why did this husband’s family dote on Su Liyan so much?

Look at all the things in the Su Family’s courtyard! Didn’t they just move half of Taiping City over here?

On the way back, someone from the Su Family couldn’t hold back their curiosity and started asking Lu Yuan questions.

After all, no one here knew anything about Lu Yuan’s background.

Even Su Liyan’s mother only knew bits and pieces. Previously, the young girl had only said that Lu Yuan’s ancestors were wealthy and his great-grandfather was a County Magistrate.

That his house was made of brick and tile.

That he still had money left by his ancestors, and his kitchen was full of meat and white flour.

Then last night, someone from a Guild had suddenly shown up and said that her son-in-law was the close nephew of Taiping City’s Zhao Family.

This had left Su Liyan’s mother completely bewildered.

Su Liyan’s second aunt was the first to ask, looking at Lu Yuan curiously:

"So, son-in-law, what does your family do?"

Before Lu Yuan could speak, Su Liyan, who was clinging to her husband’s arm, puffed up with pride and announced boastfully:

"My husband is a scholar~

His great-grandfather was the County Magistrate of Taiping City~

My husband is studying at home right now to prepare for the imperial examinations, and our family has three shops in Taiping City.

Just this morning when we were coming back from the city, we even went to the market administration office to collect the rent from the three shops."

Su Liyan was only human, after all.

And it’s human nature to want to show off the best things you have.

Especially since the villagers had always looked down on her and her family.

Now, Su Liyan wanted to show off. She wanted to boast that she had married the best man in the world.

As Su Liyan finished speaking...

...the people of Changliu Village who heard this were practically overflowing with jealousy.

Good heavens...

He was a young master of a business...

Hadn’t Su Liyan transformed overnight into a Young Madam?!

What kind of damn lucky break did the Su Family get?!
