Chapter 824: Great Origin

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Grandaunt Yang was surprised. She initially thought Su Binglan was the daughter of a prestigious family. Ultimately, the old woman thought otherwise. After all, Su Binglan would not have come so far just to build a factory if she were from a prestigious family.

Moreover, Su Binglan showed no fear when Grandaunt Yang mentioned the county magistrate and explained the situation here.

‘Does Miss Su really have a way to help us?’

With that in mind, Grandaunt Yang became excited. She wanted to say something but could not make a sound for a moment. After a while, she calmed herself down and said, “Do you…really have a way, Miss Su?”

Even Doctor Yang found it troublesome. She thought perhaps Su Binglan

might be unable to build the factory.

It was not as simple as that because the merchants would try to pressure her and not let her build the factory to process medicinal herbs. Doctor Yang seemed discouraged, thinking Su Binglan had not thought it through.

Only Su Binglan and Su Wenxiu were calm. The latter knew his sister’s true identity and capabilities, while Su Binglan was confident this matter was easy to handle.

She also had the token Lan Ruozhu had given her. The Dingzhou county magistrate would treat the token as Lan Ruozhu’s will. Moreover, Su Binglan was a princess, so the magistrate had to listen to her.

Su Binglan intended to dismiss the magistrate who suppressed the people. She wanted to find a more deserving magistrate for Yang County. The one she hired had to be capable of making the people’s lives better.

Su Binglan said calmly, ‘Don’t worry, Madam Yang. I have a way to deal with the merchants and magistrate.”

The old woman realized that Su Binglan really did have an influential background. However, Grandaunt Yang was smart enough not to ask about things she should not.

She stood up excitedly as tears welled in her eyes. “Thank you, Miss Su.”

Doctor Yang was shocked, wondering if Su Binglan had another identity. All the former knew was that Su Binglan was a Su Teng Village native.

‘Can she really deal with the county magistrate and those horrible merchants?’ Doctor Yang was puzzled but felt it might be possible, considering the changes that had happened in Su Teng Village,

If not for the higher-ups’ support, the changes in the village would have alarmed many people. Still, it had always been peaceful in Tenghe Town, and everyone lived decent lives.

Indeed, it was a little magical that everything Su Binglan did went smoothly. It meant that she was not just capable, but an even more influential force must be protecting and supporting her.

Doctor Yang looked at Su Wenxiu’s expression and realized he was calm, too. It showed her that he knew what was going on. Doctor Yang felt at ease and sighed in relief.

Su Binglan looked at the old woman and said, “You don’t have to thank me. I’m building the herb factory to obtain your village’s herbs. Still, I’ll pay everyone fair prices. I won’t lower it, nor will I suppress the locals.”

Su Binglan had even planned to use a portion of the profits to build roads and other buildings for Yang Village. She would then open a few more factories here.

“I believe in you, Miss Su,” Grandaunt Yang said excitedly, “Is there anything you need me to do? My cousin is the village chief. Should I tell him your plans tomorrow?”

The old woman knew the villagers would be thrilled if they knew about this.

Su Binglan said, “I’ll visit your cousin tomorrow and tell him that we’ll need some help building the factory. I’ll pay the villagers daily.”

She planned to do what she did in Su Teng Village and get the Yang Village chief to gather a workforce.

“All the men in the village do construction work,” Grandaunt Yang said, “We don’t ask for outsiders’ help because the men here can build houses.”

The villagers built their own houses to save money. In that case, it meant that every household had someone with construction experience.

Grandaunt Yang looked at her son’s leg with a downcast expression and added, ‘Yang Cheng could have helped if he hadn’t broken his leg.”

Doctor Yang wanted to help, but she was not good at surgery or mending bones. She and Doctor Lin only specialized in medicine. Doctor Yang had only just started learning about surgery when she started teaching at Su Wenxiu’s medical school.

Su Wenxiu looked at his sister and said, “Sister, I…

Su Binglan knew what her second brother wanted to say, so she simply nodded.

Su Wenxiu understood her reaction and said, “Madam Yang, I have medical skills. Let me take a look at your son’s leg. I should be able to heal it.”

The family looked at him with bright eyes when they heard his claims. Doctor Yang said, “Grandaunt, this is Doctor Wenxiu. His medical skills far exceed mine. He has healed several people’s legs before.”

“Thank you, Doctor Wenxiu,” Lady Liu said softly. She then made way for Su Wenxiu to take a look at her husband’s leg.

Yang Cheng clenched his fist in excitement. Although he knew how to pick and plant herbs and could perform first aid, he did not know how to mend bones. He had gone to town to see a doctor, but the consultation fee was expensive, and the treatment had failed.

The town doctor even told Yang Cheng to get medicine, saying that it would help. That was why Grandaunt Yang went to pick tomatoes from the mountains to sell them in town. She had to find a way to earn money.

Su Wenxiu said, “No problem. It’s a small matter for me.” He then checked

Yang Chengs leg and frowned. “The bone is misaligned. That’s why he hasn’t recovered yet.”

The old woman growled, “I knew the town clinic was a scam. The doctors there don’t treat people well, either. We even paid them so much. What should we do now, Doctor Wenxiu?”

Grandaunt Yang, Yang Cheng, and Lady Liu looked anxious.

Su Wenxiu said, “I’ll have to reattach it. Then, you’ll just need to rest and

recuperate.”

The family were ecstatic when they heard that. Yang Cheng asked, “You can really heal my leg, Doctor Wenxiu? Will I be okay?”

Yang Cheng was highly capable previously, so the family could still eat their fill and wear warm clothes. However, the old woman and Lady Liu took on the burden when he broke his leg.

Yang Cheng was anxious, but his legs would not heal just because he wanted them to. After hearing Su Wenxiu’s claims, Yang Cheng felt a newfound hope. Once his leg recovered, he could do many things for his family. Then, his wife and mother would no longer have to work so hard..
