The Scamming Husband Is Surprisingly Sweet

(1) Yu Shuang was a ger. His stepmother wanted to sell him to a bald, deadbeat old man in his forties. His childhood friend came up with a plan: carefully choose someone, arrange to be rescued, then offer himself in marriage. The two of them carefully picked a hunter. He was strong, so Yu Shuang's stepmother wouldn't dare cause trouble. Yu Shuang waited by the river where the hunter would pass and cried for help. As long as the hunter rescued him, Yu Shuang could use his damaged reputation to cling to him. No... to repay his kindness. But the one who rescued him turned out to be Qin Wan, the scrawny little bean sprout from the far end of the village, two years younger than him. Yu Shuang was furious. Hands on his hips, he yelled, "Who told you to save me? Now you'll never get married!" Yu Shuang's stepmother said, "You held my little ger. You have to marry him." Qin Wan, who had just dragged him onto the bank and was now being berated: ... After Yu Shuang's stepmother made a fuss, Qin Wan paid two sheep to bring Yu Shuang home as his husband. They spent their wedding night with one sleeping at the head of the bed and the other at the foot. After they married, Yu Shuang often muttered: "What a shame about that hunter. I timed my jump perfectly. Why wasn't he the one who rescued me? If he had, I could have married him." "When is that bean sprout going to grow up? I wish I could divorce him soon and set up a household of my own." "That widower at the end of the village seems nice too. He has no children, so I wouldn't have to be a stepfather." Qin Wan: ... "That hunter likes visiting brothels, and the widower gets violent when he drinks. His wife couldn't stand it and jumped into the river." Yu Shuang was stunned. "No way. Is my judgment really that bad?" Qin Wan: Bad? You're practically blind. You can't even see the living, breathing person right in front of you! (2) Everyone in Qin Family Village knew that Yu Shuang was a poor, unfortunate ger. First, his stepmother sold him to a bald, deadbeat old man in his forties. Then she sold him to the sickly Qin Wan. And look, he was taken away on the very day of the wedding, without even a ceremony. The sickly Qin Wan fell gravely ill again and wouldn't wake up. Even the doctor could do nothing. Poor Shuang, after just one night, had become a widower. Everyone knew Yu Shuang's life was as good as over. But as they watched... The sickly Qin Wan grew stronger and stronger, and the Qin family kept building more and more rooms onto their house. Their life just kept getting better! Oh my~ Was that really the once-miserable Shuang? He's looking more and more radiant! Theme: Hard work brings prosperity.
