Chapter 1541: Chapter 1543: It Must Be That Zhong Family Girl Who Opened It

Stone Village

"Hey, let me tell you something big." 𝕗𝗿𝕖𝐞𝐰𝗲𝕓𝐧𝕠𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝐨𝚖

"What’s the matter?"

"I just came back from the town, and heard that a woman from Yang Family Village is going to open a school."

"What? A woman opening a school?"

"Yes, everyone in town is talking about it, saying a woman is going to open a school and went to the bookstore to buy books."

"Really? I find it hard to believe."

"I just heard about it, don’t know if it’s true."

"..."

"..."

Li Chuntao’s mother passed by the big square and heard the villagers discussing this.

She didn’t even associate it with her own daughter, the first person she thought of was Xiaoxiao from the Zhong Family. Xiaoxiao had learned some characters alongside her daughter, and her husband is a Scholar. Maybe it was her husband who wanted to open the school, and she was just helping out by buying books, which led to the rumors about her.

When she returned home, she told her family, "Her father, the villagers were talking about a woman opening a school in Yang Family Village."

"Opening a school? That’s good news, someone in the countryside should have done this sooner." Chuntao’s father was very supportive of this matter. Regardless of who opens the school, having a school in the countryside benefits the children.

He had suffered from not being able to read, which is why he made sure his children learned to read. Chuntao’s father had a strong awareness about literacy.

Chuntao’s mother, influenced by Chuntao’s father, held the same view, agreeing that all their children should learn to read. She continued, "They said a woman is opening a school, and I’m thinking it must be Xiaoxiao from the Zhong Family. Her husband is a Scholar; maybe he wants to open it, and it was just wrongly attributed to her."

Chuntao’s father nodded, "Hmm, that’s likely. There are few literate people in the countryside, and in Yang Family Village, apart from her, there’s probably no one else who can read. It must be her family that’s opening it."

At this point, Chuntao’s third brother spoke up, "The woman who can read in Yang Family Village is not alone; our little sister can read, and she’s much better at it."

Upon hearing this, everyone in the room paused for a moment but soon laughed.

Chuntao’s mother said, "Your little sister opening a school? You must be joking, she doesn’t have that ability."

Having raised her daughter for fifteen years, how could she not know her? Her daughter doesn’t have the guts for it; opening a school is definitely not something her daughter can manage.

Everyone else in the room also expressed disbelief, "Yes, third brother, our little sister just can’t handle something so big."

"Third brother, you’re absolutely overthinking it. Our little sister is so innocent, how could she think about opening a school? She wouldn’t come up with such an idea."

"..."

"..."

In fact, Chuntao’s third brother thought the same. Their little sister couldn’t manage such a big thing; he was just stating a fact that their little sister knew how to read, and much better than Xiaoxiao from the Zhong Family.

The Li Chuntao family received the news about a woman opening a school, but completely believed it wasn’t their daughter/little sister who did it, so they didn’t inquire further, thinking their daughter/little sister would be back in a few days.

Before their daughter/little sister left, she was repeatedly warned not to disturb her in Yang Family Village to avoid exposing her interest in Yang Dong, which would ruin her reputation.

Everyone knew not to damage their daughter/little sister’s reputation in this regard, so they agreed.

They didn’t expect their daughter/little sister accomplished such a sensational task.
