However, before Su Yun'er could go to find Lin Moniang, Lin Moniang arrived first.

The next morning, He Liu brought Lin Moniang to their door.

As soon as she entered the house, He Liu went straight to the point: "Yun'er, I heard from the villagers that you can read?!"

He Liu was quite surprised. She had known Su Yun'er for quite some time, but she had never known that Su Yun'er was literate.

Su Yun'er already knew about the villagers' discussions on this matter, so she didn't try to hide it, nor was there any need to: "Yes, after my head injury, I don't know why, but I slowly learned to read."

He Liu was not only surprised, but also quite envious.

"Oh dear, what the villagers said was actually true! It's true what they say, 'A narrow escape from death is sure to bring good fortune!' Why didn't you tell me sooner?" He Liu said, her tone tinged with reproach.

Su Yun'er smiled and sat down next to He Liu, putting her hand on He Liu's shoulder: "Auntie, this is no good news. Someone broke my head and I almost died. Besides, this is all very mysterious. How can I explain it to you? I was afraid you would treat me like a monster and hand me over to someone else, and then burn me to the ground."

"Pah, pah, pah, is that how heartless I am in your eyes? Pah!" He Liu said angrily, but the slight displeasure she had felt earlier from being kept in the dark was gone.

"Yun'er, I came here today to ask you something. My son Xiaowen comes to your house almost every day. Why don't you teach him to read?" He Liu said seriously.

Su Yun'er guessed what He Liu meant the moment He Liu opened his mouth.

I know Xiaowen quite well. He's a boy, at the age where he's usually mischievous, but he's respectful to his elders and quite obedient. It should be relatively easy to teach him to read.

but……

Su Yun'er did not answer immediately, but looked at Lin Moniang who was standing to the side.
