Chapter 637: Chapter 637: True and False Heiress 30

Grandpa Cao felt a bit sorry for this little girl. Clearly, she was a young lady of noble birth, but was deliberately swapped and turned into a village girl, suffering quite a bit in the process. Sigh.

Grandpa Cao suggested, "Xiao Chun, Grandpa will find a teacher for you to learn literacy, and then send you to night school so that you won’t be illiterate anymore."

Yuan Chun didn’t want to be treated like a primary school student, forced to learn how to read.

She said sheepishly, "Grandpa, actually... I’ve been secretly learning to read over the past few years. I bought a thick dictionary and I look up characters I don’t know. Grandpa Zhang, who often buys marinated meat from my shop, also gave me several copybooks. I practice by writing ten pages every day."

"Even though there are still many characters I don’t know, I won’t give up on learning. One day, I’ll recognize all the characters in the dictionary."

Grandpa Cao laughed heartily, "Good, good, young people need this kind of perseverance. In that case, Grandpa won’t find you a teacher, but I’ll let you diagnose people’s ailments."

Grandpa Cao extended a hand, placing it on the coffee table.

Yuan Chun gently rested her right fingers on his pulse, quickly let go, and smiled, "Grandpa, I know the right remedy for you."

Yuan Chun knew that someone as important as Grandpa Cao wouldn’t take medicine casually.

So, she wrote a prescription for Grandpa Cao, saying, "Grandpa, I know you must know some excellent traditional Chinese doctors. Have the guard take this prescription to them. If they agree, Xiao Wu and I will go buy the medicinal ingredients this afternoon, and I’ll make the medicine for you."

Grandpa Cao didn’t give the prescription to the guard but instructed, "Xiao Fang, go next door and call Old Chen."

"Yes, sir."

Guard Fang Bo stood straight, saluted, and then ran next door.

Soon, an old man with gray hair and beard arrived.

Old Chen came in and said, "Cao, do you need something from me?"

"Old Chen, come and take a look at this prescription; see if it’s appropriate for my gout?" Grandpa Cao waved him over, had him sit down, and then handed him the prescription.

Old Chen carefully examined it and praised, "Good prescription, Cao. Where did you get this prescription? The person who wrote this has better medical skills than I do. I’d like to meet them."

Grandpa Cao turned his head and looked at Yuan Chun.

Only then did Old Chen notice the little girl sitting in the room.

Old Chen looked at the elegant and neat handwriting on the prescription, clearly done by a woman, and was surprised, "Cao, are you telling me this little girl wrote this prescription?"

Yuan Chun smiled and sweetly greeted, "Hello, Grandpa Chen. My name is Yuan Chun, and I am Xiao Wu’s fiancée."

"Good, good girl," Old Chen was very pleased. "That kid Xiao Wu finally brought his bride home. Cao, you now have a granddaughter-in-law; take care of your health, and maybe next year you’ll be holding a great-grandson."

Grandpa Cao’s smile was from ear to ear, "Thank you for the blessing."

He then turned and urged the wedding, "Xiao Chun, since Grandpa can still move around, let’s arrange the wedding for you and Xiao Wu next month, how about that?"

"Grandpa, isn’t next month a bit rushed?"

"Not at all, not at all. I’ve been eagerly waiting to hold a great-grandson," Grandpa Cao was almost impatient for his grandson and granddaughter-in-law to enter the bridal chamber tonight, hoping the granddaughter-in-law would give birth to a chubby great-grandson by tomorrow.
