Rebirth of a Village Girl

Chapter 8

ARE YOU CRAZY?

Li Shu adored her daughter, Li Xianxian, immensely.

Li Xianxian was quite remarkable herself. Not only had she attended university at a very young age, she had also accomplished a lot.

However, Li Shu had always been unable to comprehend why Li Xianxian, a daughter aptly compared to a treasure from heaven, would feel intimidated by Ni Yang, who was no better than mud.

How could Ni Yang possibly influence Li Xianxian?

But, since it was something her daughter had instructed, she was naturally going to do it flawlessly.

Now she had successfully wed Ni Yang off to a eunuch and even made a profit from it, Li Shu was extremely pleased.

"Is it done?" On the other end of the call, Li Xianxian narrowed her eyes before asking, "Mom, how did you handle Ni Yang?"

Li Shu looked around as she spoke, "Xianxian, do you still remember your distant cousin, Wang Dazhuang?"

There was a moment of silence on the other line, "Mom, are you implying..."

Li Xianxian had a fairly strong impression of her cousin, Wang Dazhuang.

Wang Dazhuang, who was more than fifty years old, had never married. He had a physical disability, and because of it, his mentality was quite distorted. Often, he would abuse animals. If Ni Yang were married to him, it would be like plunging into a fiery pit. She would never see the light again in her life!

A sinister smile curved at the corners of Li Xianxian's lips.

Li Shu laughed and nodded, "Exactly, that's what I mean."

Li Xianxian continued, "What if she runs away?"

"Don't worry, with Mom here! That wild girl won't be able to escape!" reassured Li Shu confidently.

Li Xianxian replied, "Alright, Mom. This matter is up to you! You must keep an eye on her!"

As the cost of phone calls was exorbitant back then, the mother-daughter conversation ended shortly.

Li Shu returned to the Mu family home.

The Mu family was all seated at the dining table, waiting for her to come back for dinner.

"Ashu is back, let's sit down for dinner," Elder Mrs. Mu beckoned Li Shu to sit down.

Mu Jinbao pulled out a chair for Li Shu.

At the table, Elder Mrs. Mu turned to Ni Cuihua and deliberately asked, "Cuihua, how old is Yangyang this year?"

Hearing Elder Mrs. Mu's voice, Ni Cuihua couldn't help but shudder. If you've been oppressed for a long time, you can't change certain habits overnight.

Ni Cuihua replied, "Yangyang is seventeen this year."

Elder Mrs. Mu continued, "A seventeen-year-old girl, and yet she sits idly at home all day! When I was seventeen, Jinbao was already three years old!"

In those days, getting married and having children at a young age was common.

Ni Cuihua naively responded, "Mother, why don't we let Yangyang continue her studies?"

"Study!" exclaimed Elder Mrs. Mu. "Ni Cuihua! You really dare say! Where do we get the money for her schooling? Besides, what's the use of a liability like her going to school?"

Ni Cuihua added, "But, but Yangyang is still so young, what can she do if she doesn't study?"

Li Shu stifled her laughter and said, "Sister Cuihua, hasn't Aunt mentioned it? When she was seventeen, Brother Jinbao was already three years old. I think Yangyang should marry early! Then we, her maternal family, can benefit from it. Otherwise, she's just wasting food at home."
