Tong Huaqiong glanced approvingly at Man Er.
She then said to Chen Sufen and Liu Yueer, "Not only Man Er should go to the school, but you two also need to learn to read and write."
Chen Sufen and Liu Yueer seemed to hear something incredible, and the sisters-in-law were thoroughly confused.
They too needed to learn to read and write.
Is literacy something that ordinary people can learn?
In the whole village, only the mother-in-law and the young nun could read.
The mother-in-law learned from her brother when she was young, and Gu Taohua was taught by the mother-in-law.
Other women were essentially blind.
However, being illiterate didn't affect everyone's life. For so many years, none of the women in Qinghe Bay could read, yet it didn't hinder them from raising children and managing the household and fields.
Chen Sufen and Liu Yueer exchanged a glance and saw confusion and bafflement in each other's eyes.
