Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation    Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Mr. Cao was prideful when he spoke about his daughter. He was glad he had sent his daughter to study medicine. Everyone became envious of his family.

Later, those who hesitated to send their daughters to study medicine became upset because others had already filled the available spots long ago. Moreover, everyone witnessed Cao Shuangs capabilities after the earthquake.

Everyone would recognize Mr. Cao wherever he went because they knew his daughter was a promising young lady. Mr. Cao became well-known because of his daughter’s good deeds. The Caos could hold their heads high in the villages.

Sometimes, people would fall ill in the middle of the night and would call for

Cao Shuang. Since their village was far from Tenghe Town and Su Teng

Village, it was inconvenient for them to find a doctor in the middle of the

The adults would grow anxious if their children caught a cold or fever. Fortunately, Cao Shuang had learned medical skills and had some herbs at home to prescribe medicine to the sick.

Everyone in their village treated the Caos with respect.

Nir. Cao had never enjoyed such treatment before, but someone recognized him when he struggled to find a spot in Su Teng Village’s market.

‘l wouldn’t have found a spot to open my stall without my daughter.’ Mr. Cao sighed inwardly.

Everyone else looked at him enviously. “He must be proud to have such a promising daughter. If we had known this earlier, we would’ve sent our daughters to study medicine.”

“l wanted my daughter to study medicine, but she wasn’t old enough. I hope she’ll have another opportunity in a few years.”

“That’s right. Everyone was pedantic in the past. It’s always good to learn essential skills like medicine. Plus, Miss Su and Second Young Master Su are such good people. They must only accept exceptionally hardworking students.”

“l agree. My son is learning pottery in Miss Su’ s workshop now. The bottle he made was gorgeous.”

“Most people’s children work for Miss Su. She provides excellent benefits, so why do you still set up a stall here?”

Everyone laughed. “We can’t just let our children do all the work. As parents, we must also earn money to support our families.”

“That’s right.”

“Still, there’s less pressure at home now. Our children know how to work hard. They get paid monthly and even help grow more crops for us to harvest in spring next year.”

“l heard Su Teng Village will have high-yield seeds in spring. We must buy some from them when the time comes.’

“Right! If you don’t believe in anything else, believe in Miss Su. How many people would have died in the earthquake if it weren’t for her?”

“Oh, Su Xueye and his construction team recently rebuilt our house with bricks.’

“Everyone is using bricks to repair their houses these days. The families who own the houses that survived the earthquake are now reinforcing other parts of their houses with bricks. However, the demand for bricks is too high now, so people have to wait to buy more.”

“I considered selling some items to buy more braised meat for my children to eat at noon.”

“Yes, you must buy those before they sell out.”

“Last time, Old Madam Su said each family can only buy one serving of braised meat whenever the market opens. That way, everyone will have some.”

“I’m planning to buy some tofu. I want to make stewed tofu with cabbage for my family.”

Everyone spoke one after another, their faces full of brilliant smiles. However, some still could not find a spot to open their stalls. Hence, Chief Su had to come and clear a corner for them.

The market initially ran along one street, but it later expanded around the corner into another. Still, no one was worried about the location because many people visited the market.

Chief Su looked around the bustling market and said smilingly, “The market keeps expanding. I’ll clear that road later for more people to set up their stalls.’

Chief Su l s wife added, “Binglan suggested handing out travel passes and dividing the street into sections. We can put food in one section, daily necessities in another, clothing over there, etcetera.

“That’ll make it more convenient for people to buy things. If they need something specific, they can go to these sections to find them.”

Chief Su nodded. “Yes, Binglan is as brilliant as always. That’s an excellent idea. We’ll implement those soon. Still, there are many more vendors and visitors this time than last week.’

His wife was delighted and said smilingly, “That shows how much livelier our village has become. Business is good, and everyone, including visitors, benefits from it.’

“You’re right. It’s good now that our village has become famous.” Chief Su looked around the bustling market and felt a sense of accomplishment.

His wife thought of something and said, “Many people also order furniture from my eldest daughter-in-law when they visit.”

Madam Zhou had opened a furniture store long ago. Her craftsmanship in her furniture was exquisite, and she made them more practical. Her chairs were soft, and everyone liked them.

She would be swamped whenever the market opened. That was because everyone used the market as an excuse to visit Su Teng Village.

They also thought it was more convenient to visit then because they could also buy daily necessities before going home. That way, they would not have to make two trips to the village.

Chief Su nodded. “Indeed. We’re always busy whenever the market opens. You should go and help Madam Zhou.”

His wife agreed, “Okay, I’ll go and help her now. You should hurry home, too.

You don’t want people to be looking for you, and you’re not there, right?”

“l know.”

Since he was the village’s chief, people would look for him if they encountered problems at the market. Moreover, Chief Su handled things fairly and had everyone’s respect.

More people came to the market after daybreak. Some came on foot, others came with small carts to carry things, and the rest entered on oxcarts. However, only a few had oxcarts.

Most who traveled via carriage were traveling merchants. They came to the market wanting to buy various things.

Although Su Fengmao and Shen Qiuhua often managed the tofu factory, they could walk around freely since they had a manager to run the place. The older couple had fun walking around and looking at things, even though they didn’t buy anything.

Since the village had little entertainment, people looked forward to walking in the market.

Shen Qiuhua carried a basket along. She thought she would need it if she saw something she needed to buy. Su Fengmao accompanied her, and the couple strolled around. He would listen to whatever his wife said.

However, after walking around for a while, he said anxiously, “I’ll go to the factory to check on things. Our customers are probably there collecting their goods. I’m worried the workers might get overwhelmed.”

Shen Qiuhua nodded. “All right, you can go and help. I’ll continue looking around. I might buy something for lunch if it looks good..”
