    He transmigrated to a rural area in 1970s China. Having died in his sleep right after graduating from university, he hadn't experienced the harsh realities of society. He then smoothly transmigrated into the body of a genuinely mentally challenged man. Chen Wang didn't need to pretend; his eyes were exactly the same as the original owner's, radiating a clear-eyed stupidity. Everyone was hotly debating whether Old Chen's third daughter-in-law would give birth to a boy or a girl. Of the three sons, only the second son's family had given them a grandson; the other two families had produced four daughters, and this only grandson was mentally challenged. Even so, Old Chen's parents doted on this mentally challenged grandson, spoiling him rotten. But everyone thought this was only because the Chen family only had one grandson; if the third daughter-in-law gave birth to a boy, the Chen family's mentally challenged grandson's status would definitely change.
