Lan Tian's words didn't specify anyone, but with only the three of them in the house, who else could it be that hadn't attended school besides Yanhua?
Chunhua is a junior high school student. In Mo Village, not to mention the neighboring ten miles and eight villages, she could be considered highly educated, able to claim to be an intellectual and secure a teaching job at some rural school.
Not to mention Lan Tian, who had gone to high school in Shanghai.
Chunhua snorted a laugh, continued to read her medical book, and thought it best not to stoop to that level, to not demean herself.
Yanhua's face turned red, then pale, then green. She didn't understand what Lan Tian meant by propriety or shame, but she did understand the part about not having been to school. Who else in the room hadn't gone to school? And with Chunhua laughing like that, it surely wasn't anything nice, it must be Lan Tian cursing her.
