transmigrated as the ex wife of a heroic man
Chapter 1276: Chapter 1276 Moving House
“Humph! I knew Sun Yunyun was up to no good,” Su Xue grumbled indignantly.
Though it was just an offhand remark, Zhou Hengguang paid attention and asked thoughtfully, “You said Sun Yunyun wanted to trade a better plot of land with you when you were drawing lots?”
“Yes!”
“That’s strange, why would she want to trade if she was already in good shape? Could it be that she knows?” Zhou Hengguang furrowed his brows in contemplation, his slender fingers lightly tapping on the tree trunk, causing Su Qing to wince with empathy.
“Stop tapping,” Su Qing couldn’t help but say.
“Ha!” Zhou Hengguang shook his head and withdrew his hand, stopping his earlier train of thought, “Alright, you’ve all seen it. It’s getting late; let’s head back!”
“Just like that we’re going back? What about this place? Is this ancient tea tree really valuable?”
“Extremely valuable. If handled well, the price of an ounce of these tea leaves could equal an ounce of gold, and while gold is easy to buy, tea leaves are not so readily available,” Zhou Hengguang said with implied meaning, “After all, there’s only this one tree, and its yearly yield is limited.”
“Heavens!”
“We’re rich.”
“Turns out we’ve got a gold mine at home!”
“Does Big Sister know about this?”
Zhou Hengguang, leading the way, replied, “Of course, she knows.”
“I knew Big Sister was incredible,” Su Xue and Su Xiu both said, astonished.
Only Su Qing watched Zhou Hengguang’s back with wary eyes, her mind once again on high alert. She couldn’t understand why he had suddenly brought them here. What exactly was his purpose?
She would never believe he had no ulterior motive.
Regardless of what he was plotting, all she had to do was keep her distance from him.

Su Qing and the others returned to the province, while Trinity village began moving out. The first to move was the couple He Yulan and her husband; they had been selling steamed cakes and business had been booming. It was inconvenient to commute to and from the village daily, and they had already saved a good sum of money.
This move to the village was just a natural progression of events.
The second to leave was Li Youcai’s family, or more precisely, Li Youcai’s sons.
Li Youcai and Wang Chunyan, along with their unmarried daughter Li Xue, stayed in the village. After all, the younger generation had moved out, and Li Xue would eventually marry and no longer be considered a villager of Trinity village.
However, it would probably become difficult for the village’s young men to find wives in the future.
Who would want to marry their daughter into a place with such a known issue?
The situation was similar for the other families, where the younger generation moved while the older ones, too attached to leave their place of birth, remained. Sister Chrysanthemum, for instance, didn’t want to leave her thriving village store.
Then there were Chen Guihua and Zhuangzhuang. Now that the truth was out, it was uncertain if Su Wen would continue supporting Zhuangzhuang. Chen Guihua had no money for his education.
He couldn’t even think of moving if he wanted to.
So, Chen Guihua stayed for the time being.
Zhang Chunxiang stayed as well. She had now become arch-enemies with Su Xuewu and her elder son, Su Pingfan. Aside from demanding money from her, they had nothing to do with each other. They would beat her and even contemplate selling her off if she refused to give them money.
Zhang Chunxiang was no pushover.
Humph! They deserved to be trapped in Trinity village for a hundred years.
It served them right, karma.
Zhang Chunxiang did not care in the slightest; she ate well and drank well, living a better life than before, all thanks to Su Pingping.
Su Pingping now earned a substantial salary each month, and secretly sent money to her mother.
With money in hand, Zhang Chunxiang no longer needed to steal vegetables.
Her only hope now was her daughter, Su Pingping. As long as her daughter was doing well, she had nothing to worry about for the rest of her life.
She couldn’t be more thankful to Su Wen and Su Qing!
As the villagers busied themselves with moving, New Year’s Eve arrived in the blink of an eye, but the village was shrouded in gloom, except for Zhang Chunxiang, who was in the best of spirits.
