Chapter 586: Driven Changes

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Sister Lin took the things and said, “Oh, I’ve troubled you.”

Wang Zhou smiled. “It’s no trouble at all. Zhou Chang helped me a bunch. 1 only got this job because he asked the Su family for my help.”

Wang Zhou was married to a girl from the county. However, his wife’s family did not live in the city; they lived in a village next to the county. Although it was more convenient for him to work in the winery, he chose to sell stinky tofu in town.

He also earned a lot of money. It was no less than working in a winery; he could help his wife care for her parents. His wife also had younger siblings to care for.

Fortunately, Wang Zhou earned a lot to improve his family’s days. He did not mind that his wife’s family was poor because he was well-off now and could naturally treat his wife better.

He seemed to have thought of something and said, “Oh, the winery has promoted Zhou Chang to manager. He’s pretty busy now and might not be able to see you this month. He says he’ll come to see you when he’s free.”

Sister Lin smiled until her eyes narrowed into a line when she heard that. “His job should be more important. Tell him not to worry about me when you see him, okay? I’m fine now.”

Liu Shizhi grew even more envious because she knew a manager received more wages. Back then, she and her neighbors thought Zhou Chang could not do much, even though he was handsome and hardworking.

Still, it had only been two years, and he had already made a name for himself.

Moreover, his daughter also had a decent job, and the father-daughter duo earned a lot monthly.

Sister Lin received many things from Zhou Chang and could not carry everything. Hence, Wang Zhou offered to help her after work. “Sister Lin, I’ll help you bring these home.”

“But it’s so cumbersome for you.”

“What are you talking about? We’re neighbors.”

The two women talked while walking home and caught each other up on their lives. Even the families living in the county were willing to let their daughters go to Tenghe Town.

Most people with foresight predicted Su Teng Village would continue developing and improving.

Many people could not afford a house in Su Teng Village, so they bought one west of Tenghe Town. That way, they could be closer to the village’s embroidery shop and winery, making it more convenient.

Therefore, the west side of Tenghe Town, which was initially remote and quiet, became a bustling area. Many people lived there, and more shops began developing. It also became convenient for everyone to eat hotpot since there was a restaurant there.

The west side also had a skewer stall, a haggis soup shop, a duck blood vermicelli shop, and many other snack stores. Many people also set up their stalls, forming a lively food street.

Most people now realized living on the west side of Teng He Town was convenient. It was also close to Blue Mountain Academy.

Some merchants from other places with few family members also moved their families here, mainly because there were wars where they lived. Although Dingzhou was safe and stable, everyone felt safer staying on the west side of the town.

Unknowingly, the population in Tenghe Town had increased by quite a bit. County Magistrate Meng Ce was stunned when he looked at the number of people there.

Dingzhou was initially a remote place, let alone Teng County. It was rural and had fewer people than other places. However, the population grew exponentially in just a few months.

Meng Ce was happy and excited at that thought. He figured it was probably related to the Su family from Su Teng Village.

Later that night, he visited his mother for dinner and could not help but sigh, saying, “You have excellent foresight, Mother. You knew Miss Su wasn’t an ordinary person from the beginning.”

Su Binglan was just a country girl who did not show her talents in the past. No one could have expected her to bring such massive changes to Teng County, not to mention he predicted the earthquake and saved so many lives.

Old Madam Feng said, “That’s why I’ve always taught you not to judge a person by appearance. You can’t look down on others just because they’re down and out for a while. You must look beyond that.”

Old Madam Fengs family was one of the six prominent families in Teng County, and she was the eldest daughter from the main branch. She was knowledgeable and could see beyond the surface. It would require a certain amount of foresight.

“Yes, Mother.” Meng Ce nodded thoughtfully.. “Oh, are the Feng and Meng families standing firmly on the kings side?”
