Rebirth of a Village Girl

Chapter 1234: 304: Go back to where you came from!

Is Cao Yueyue really just casually mentioning it?

Actually, she has been scheming for a long time.

Ever since knowing about Old Madam Wu’s troubles, she had been plotting this matter.

If Shangguan Xi can’t have a son, she can recommend someone.

The person she wants to recommend is none other than her niece who accompanied her today, Cao Xiaomei.

Before Wu Chenjun was married, Cao Yueyue had wanted to introduce her niece to him, but the Wu Family looked down on the Cao family, citing mismatched social standings.

Now that Wu Chenjun is already married, at best he’s just secondhand goods, whereas Cao Xiaomei is still a maiden of pure reputation, more than good enough for Wu Chenjun.

Once Cao Xiaomei bears Wu Chenjun a big, chubby son, he will be the Wu Family’s eldest child, the successor of the Wu Family. It’s only a matter of time before Shangguan Xi packs up and leaves, by then Cao Xiaomei will be the bona fide daughter-in-law of the Wu Family, and as her aunt, won’t she bask in the reflected glory?

Thinking of this, Cao Yueyue was incredibly smug. It’s been many years, now it’s her turn to shine!

Old Madam Wu thought for a long time and felt that Cao Yueyue had a point. Since Shangguan Xi couldn’t bear children, there were plenty of women who could! The Wu Family’s eldest grandson didn’t necessarily have to come from Shangguan Xi’s womb.

Old Madam Wu grasped Cao Yueyue’s hand and said, “Yueyue, do you have someone suitable in mind?”

Cao Yueyue replied, “What do you think of the girl Xiaomei?”

Old Madam Wu pondered for a moment, then said, “Xiaomei is the young girl who came with you?”

“Yes, yes, yes, that’s her,” Cao Yueyue said with a smile: “Auntie, I really treat Chen Jun as my own nephew, that’s why I introduced Xiaomei to him. Xiaomei has always been honest since she was young, she’s not cunning at all. Although her education is a bit low, she’s smart and also pretty. I can say this, in all ten miles around, you couldn’t find another girl as pretty as Xiaomei! The big, chubby boy she’ll bear with Chen Jun will surely be both smart and beautiful!”

“Moreover, Xiaomei is only twenty this year! Besides, Xiaomei doesn’t desire any formal status, so the Wu Family’s granddaughter-in-law will still be Xiaoxi…”

Cao Xiaomei is indeed beautiful, with fair skin and good looks, and because of her beauty, she’s always been very ambitious, dreaming of marrying into a good family since she was young!

Old Madam Wu then said, “Go call that girl over for me to see.”

Cao Yueyue said with a smile, “Alright, just a moment, I’ll go now.”

Cao Yueyue went down to the living room, where Cao Xiaomei was sitting on the sofa watching television.

She grew up in the countryside and this was her first time visiting a grand household like the Wu Family, she felt like Lady Liu entering the Grand View Garden. She had never known, the life of the rich could be so luxurious!

“Xiaomei.”

“Auntie,” Cao Xiaomei stood up and looked towards Cao Yueyue.

Cao Yueyue said in a low voice, “The old madam wants to see you, come with me, and remember to be smart later.”

There was a sparkle of exuberance in Cao Xiaomei’s eyes, she said excitedly, “Okay!”

On the way over, Cao Yueyue had already instructed her.

This trip was to experience the good life of the wealthy.

She knew Wu Chenjun was already married.

But she didn’t mind.

After all, Shangguan Xi couldn’t bear a son!

Since Shangguan Xi couldn’t have a son, the seat of the Wu Family’s daughter-in-law should rightfully be hers.

Isn’t there a saying?

Let the capable one sit!

Once she gives birth to a son for Wu Chenjun, Shangguan Xi would be kicked out of the Wu Family!

About a minute later, the two arrived at the door of Old Madam Wu’s bedroom. Cao Yueyue knocked on the door.

“Come in,” came Old Madam Wu’s voice from inside.

Cao Yueyue pushed the door and entered.

Cao Xiaomei greeted her respectfully, “Greetings, Old Madam.”

Old Madam Wu sized up Cao Xiaomei and asked with narrowed eyes, “How old are you this year?”

“I’m twenty in terms of nominal age,” Cao Xiaomei answered.

Old Madam Wu nodded, “How tall are you?”

How tall?

What does ‘how tall’ mean?

Cao Xiaomei was momentarily confused.

But Cao Yueyue was quick to react, nudging Cao Xiaomei, “Xiaomei, the old madam is asking about your height!”

Cao Xiaomei said, “Old Madam, I’m one meter sixty-five.”

One meter sixty-five is considered tall among girls.

Old Madam Wu seemed quite satisfied and nodded, “Who else is in your family?”

Cao Xiaomei continued, “There are three younger sisters and a younger brother at home.”

The policy of family planning has only become strict in recent years.

In the era before family planning, it was common for families to have several children, some even had seven or eight siblings.
