When Mrs. Yang told her daughter the news of Su Binglan accepting female apprentices, Yang Man was so excited that she jumped. "Really, Mother?!"
Mrs. Yang smiled and said, "It's true. You can study medicine this time."
The Yang family was pretty well off. Otherwise, they would not have an oxcart. Moreover, Mr. and Mrs. Yang were more open-minded than most. They had wanted their daughter to study in a private medical school, but the doctors there did not accept girls.
If they did, the parents of the boys who attended that private medical school would no longer send their sons there to study.
Since that was the case, Mr. and Mrs. Yang had no choice but to let their daughter study at home.
Yang Man's two younger brothers attended a private school to learn calligraphy, so they would teach their sister when they came home. Therefore, Yang Man knew how to read many story books and such.
