Chapter 586: Driven Changes

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.”

Liu Shizhi and Sister Lin walked home after buying stinky tofu. Liu Shizhi smiled and said, “1 saved a lot of money today thanks to you, Sister Lin.”

The Su family had hired Wang Zhou to sell stinky tofu. The more he sold, the higher his commission would be. Later, he would switch to another method when he earned more: to pay off the cart and make it his own.

Afterward, he would buy products from the tofu factory to sell stinky tofu in the county independently. That way, all the profits would belong to him, not only the commission. He would also have more freedom to give discounts to those he cared about.

Sister Lin said, “You’re welcome. Wang Zhou and my son-in-law are from the same village. They’ve had a good relationship since they were young, and Wan Zhou has always been honest.”

“Your son-in-law is so young, yet he’s already the winery’s manager. He’s also a dutiful child, so I’m happy for you.”

Sister Lin knew Liu Shizhi sincerely praised her family. Sister Lin said, “l noticed how hardworking and ambitious Wang Zhou was back then, so I was at ease letting him marry my daughter. Indeed, he treated my daughter sincerely and well since marrying each other.”

“It’s good that your married daughter can often visit you every month. The neighbors are envious of you now.”

Sister Lin could not help but smile when she heard that. She knew everyone had been gossiping about her and calling her stupid in the past. However, they were envious of how well she could live now.

To her, it was nothing more than seeing her daughter and son-in-law living better lives. Sister Lin basked in her daughter and son-in-law’s glory and was well-fed.

None of her neighbors were like her daughter, who often visited and brought things for her mother.

Sister Lin noticed her daughter had become more talkative and confident since she started working at the embroidery shop and receiving bonuses. After all, working away from home helped one to improve.

Sister Lin said, “It’s nothing. I knew Zhou Chang was a good and hardworking person from the start, and he would always lead a good life. Still, I didn’t expect him to be better off than those living in the county.

“My daughter says she wants to send her son to Blue Mountain Academy when he’s of age. She can send her son there conveniently since she lives nearby.”

Since the family earned a lot from working for the Su family, they could afford to send their son to school. Moreover, Blue Mountain Academy’s school fees were not cheap.

Liu Shizhi felt even more envious now.

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?”
