The villagers held a deep reverence for literacy. This was precisely why Qin Shanshan had been so popular in the village before.
Intellectuals, after all, were loved and respected. Anything they said was to be considered carefully.
It was in this frame of mind that the illiterate and semi-literate parents of several children suddenly discovered that their son or daughter could actually read!
Even if it was just a few words, that was a real skill!
After their initial shock, the parents were filled with amazement. It was only then that they learned their children had been going to the Tang family's house to play, where Su Li not only gave them snacks but also taught them to read!
This earned her their sincere gratitude.
Even if they hadn't participated when Su Li was wrongly accused before, they had been bystanders. Afterward, they all felt she had been treated unjustly.
