Chapter 493: Earthquake Phenomenon
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
If anyone else were looking at the sky, they would think it was a typical day. It was, but Su Binglan knew it was something different. Her expression turned grave as she looked at the strange phenomenon in the sky.
Such a thing meant something was about to happen in that area in Teng He
Town.
Su Binglan used her Soul Powers again to observe the phenomenon and realized an earthquake would occur in Teng He Town. She knew earthquakes were unavoidable, so she had to minimize casualties by telling the county magistrate about it.
After all, only the magistrate had a strong appeal and could organize everyone to take measures in advance.
Su Binglan might not have known the county magistrate, but she had once saved his son, who happened to be Old Madam Fengs grandson.
Therefore, the county magistrate would arrange for his subordinates to make things convenient for Su Binglan whenever her family opened a shop in town.
Su Binglan knew these things, so she had to rush to his place this time. Although the county magistrate was not there, Old Madam Feng was with her grandson.
When the older woman saw Su Binglan, she hurriedly said, “Quick, invite them in.’
She was thrilled to see Su Binglan as she was the one who had saved her grandson and had become the family’s benefactor. Furthermore, Old Madam Feng looked at Su Binglan and felt she was incomparable to an average person.
‘The temperament she exudes is extraordinary.’
Old Madam Feng came from the Feng family and was the eldest daughter of cne ramuys main Drancn. sne naa mec many people ana coma Juage someone at a glance.
Moreover, she had watched the Su family develop incredibly quickly over the past few months, so she knew Su Binglan had done many miraculous things. Su Binglan sounded like a legend, and Old Madam Feng was shocked at what she had heard about the young lady.
Moreover, the people under Old Madam Feng usually bought the food Su Binglan had researched and developed. Old Madam Feng could only agree with her underlings.
She did not have much appetite initially, but after eating Su Binglan’s food, she regained her desire to eat more. She especially liked the stinky tofu in particular.
Old Madam Fengs son was dutiful and sometimes took her to one of the hotpot restaurants. Even her grandson enjoyed eating there. Therefore, she was grateful to Su Binglan from the bottom of her heart.
The surrounding towns were remote, and the conditions were backward. Being a county magistrate here was also a grievance for Old Madam Fengs son. Her son had come here because he wanted to make some achievements to get promoted.
That was because both the Feng and Meng families had their connections, but Old Madam Feng did not know why. She felt this place would develop well if
Su Binglan were here. Then her son could make many political achievements.
Old Madam Feng hurriedly instructed her daughter-in-law, “Xiu Niang, quickly arrange for the maids to serve us tea and snacks. We must treat our guests well.”
Xiu Niang always listened to her mother-in-law. She nodded. “I’ll do it right away, Mother-in-law.”
Xiu Niang was also genuinely grateful to Su Binglan because the young lady had saved her son once.
When Su Binglan entered the Meng family’s courtyard, Old Madam Feng was the one who went to welcome her in. “Please, come in, Miss Su. You saved my grandson last time, but we never got the chance to invite you over.”
Old Madam Feng wanted to express her gratitude back then, but Su Binglan was too busy and could not come. Since that was the case, the older woman gave Su Binglan a thousand silver taels as a consultation fee.
The silver initially helped Su Binglan, and she even used it to buy land. Su Binglan had a good impression of Old Madam Feng.
She had learned from Doctor Wu that Old Madam Feng came from the Feng family and was the eldest daughter of the family’s main branch. Hence, the older woman had a lot of prestige in her family.
Then the older woman entered the Meng family, and the Mengs had a prime minister. The Nieng family declined later but still maintained their foundation, no matter how much they declined. They also still had connections in the imperial court.
Su Binglan understood after some analysis that the current county magistrate was only temporarily here and probably wanted to enter the court to take the prime minister position.
Otherwise, Old Madam Feng and the Meng family would not stay in such a small place with their current status.
“Old Madam Feng, you don’t have to be so polite. Thank you, but I have something to tell you.” Su Binglan smiled and went straight to the point.
Old Madam Feng looked at the young lady’s severe expression and knew she had something important to say. Old Madam Feng said, “Miss Su, you’re our family’s benefactor. If you need anything, please don’t hesitate to tell us. We’ll do whatever we can to help.
Su Binglan could feel the older woman’s genuine sincerity. She said softly,
“There’s something I need the county magistrate to do.”
Old Madam Fengs expression changed slightly when she heard that. “Please, tell me what it is, Miss Su.’
Then Su Binglan told the older woman about the earthquake that would soon occur around Teng He Town. Earthquakes were a grave matter, especially in this era. Old Madam Fengs face turned pale when she heard that. “H-How do you know, Miss Su?”
‘Earthquakes are impossible to predict. If one happens, there will be too many casualties in this area if we don’t take preventive measures in advance. It’ll have a massive impact on my son’s political achievements, too.’
Old Madam Feng knew this was not a small matter, and Su Binglan knew it would be hard for anyone to believe her if she said it rashly. However, she already had an explanation for it. “My master discovered it by observing the weather.’
Su Binglan could only make up a master for herself. Since Doctor Wu had previously stated that Su Binglan came from the Legendary Medicine Valley, Old Madam Feng would not doubt her explanation.
The Legendary Medicine Valley was mythical, and ordinary people did not know where it was. Furthermore, Su Binglan was powerful, so it was not far-fetched to say her master would be, too.
Still, Old Madam Feng was in disbelief. But she quickly calmed down and said, “Are you serious, Miss su?”
“It’s true. If you believe me, then we should prepare in advance. The earthquake will happen within three days.” Su Binglan believed in her own judgment and knew there would not be any problems.
Moreover, she would tell her granduncle to arrange for the villagers to prepare early after returning to Su Teng Village.
Earthquakes were a big deal, especially for people in this era. Once it happened, many would die because the houses these ordinary people lived in were unstable and could easily collapse compared to modern-day houses.
Old Madam Feng struggled to regain her senses, even after Su Binglan left.
Meanwhile, Su Binglan dared not waste any more time. She hurried to the dessert shop and told Lin Zheng to close it immediately. Then she went home and told her parents about the earthquake so that they could take necessary precautions.
Business at the dessert shop was the same as always. Since the shop released new products occasionally, everyone would want to buy them. People from other places would also come to buy one or two pounds of specialty products to take home.
Business at the two hotpot restaurants was no different, so Su Binglan immediately told Zhou Shan and Li Shi to close it and that they would reopen three days later..
