Even Liang Xin himself probably didn't expect this.
He simply did what he was supposed to do, and it caused a huge uproar throughout the city and the surrounding area.
Everyone was discussing it, and they all felt that the magistrate's sudden change of heart must be related to the little fairy in the Lin family!
He was beaten up by the Lin family's little immortal, which led to an epiphany and he became a good person from then on.
"Wait a minute... I'm so short, how could I possibly hit him? I didn't hit him, don't slander me!" Lin Wanyue interrupted the guest's spittle-flecked talk and raised her own question.
At her height, if she jumped, she would only hit Liang Xin's waist at most.
"Uh...hehe~" The guest chuckled sheepishly, "I heard about it. That day you beat Lord Liang to a pulp, the sky changed color, and a fierce wind arose! It was terrifying. And that constable Zhang, who usually acts like a bully, and who knows how many people have been bullied by him, but that day, you treated him like a dog!"
Lin Wanyue really wanted to correct the unreliable rumors they had heard; she was certain that she hadn't laid a single finger on Lord Liang Xin.
The wind was blowing, but it wasn't strong enough to cause the sky and earth to change color, was it?
Moreover, that had nothing to do with her; it was clearly her grandfather's overwhelming pressure that caused the problem.
As for the person who treated Zhang Xiangyang like a dog, it wasn't her, but Jiang Yongfu.
However, to outsiders, it all seemed the same: the Lin family's little fairy was domineering and powerful, and he severely punished the unruly county magistrate Liang Xin and the yamen runner Zhang Xiangyang, making them repent and start anew.
That's why their county town has ushered in a bright future, with great prospects for making money!
"The future?" Lin Wanyue was stunned, her beautiful almond-shaped eyes filled with confusion.
The guest corrected her, saying, "No, it's about 'financial' prospects! But little fairy, you're detached from the world, so you probably don't care much about those worldly things."
Lin Wanyue quickly shook her head vigorously, urging the guest to speak more.
She now really likes yellow and white trinkets; the more gold, silver, and brass coins the better.
That way, I can buy a few new cotton-padded coats for everyone in the family, so my mother won't have to work so hard making them.
The guest, engrossed in his conversation, continued, "Little Immortal, haven't you noticed? There are more and more customers coming to this street lately! It's because our magistrate is willing to take charge, the atmosphere in the county is getting better and better, and merchants from outside are willing to come to our county to do business. With more people coming and going, there are more goods, and even the docks are hiring several times more laborers than usual."
"Oh..." Lin Wanyue nodded in understanding. No wonder her family could sell all the rice they cooked.
Merchants naturally prefer safer places to do business; otherwise, they might work hard to earn a few taels of silver only to have it stolen, and in a perfectly legitimate way.
Even if they wanted to file a complaint, they had nowhere to do so and could only accept their fate.
Once or twice is one thing, but if it happens too often, honest business people will naturally avoid that place, letting it degenerate into a poor and backward place.
But things are different in their county now. The county magistrate is willing to uphold justice for everyone, and even the yamen runners who patrol the county are all good people who are willing to help others and never ask for bribes or favors.
Merchants from other places, having heard of this place, were willing to transport their goods here to do business.
Where there are people doing business, it will naturally attract some small vendors, which in turn will attract people from the surrounding villages and towns. With more people coming, business will become easier.
However, Lin Wanyue did not expect that even the people queuing up for her would become so persistent.
Since everyone had heard that the county magistrate's transformation came from the Lin family's little deity, they all unanimously agreed that he was a capable little deity with magical powers.
The number of people queuing up to pray for wealth is ten times more than usual, and even more.
Lin Wanyue hadn't even settled into her seat when she saw the line in front of her was almost as long as the number of people buying roasted sweet potato noodles. Her jaw dropped, and her eyes showed a blank, lifeless look.
She's just a baby and she has to tell fortunes for so many people!
The baby is upset, but the baby won't say anything.
Lin Wanyue pursed her lips and looked up at the customers queuing in front of her.
"Little immortal, please tell me when I will become rich?" The customer asked eagerly, his eyes shining.
After seeing off the third customer seeking fortune, Lin Wanyue was picked up by a pair of warm, large hands. Lin Weiming said to the customers still in line, "Go away, go away. My daughter is still young. It's enough for her to have her fortune told for three people a day. If you want more fortunes, come earlier in the future."
"That won't do! We've been waiting in line for so long, and you're just going to say it doesn't count?" a customer at the back complained unhappily.
Lin Weiming's sharp gaze fell on the guest, and he nodded nonchalantly, saying, "That's right! I'm the one who calls the shots!"
The hot-blooded young customer was about to say something more when he was pulled back by the people behind him, who whispered a warning: "This is the little immortal's father. He might be even more capable than the little immortal. If you dare to offend him, you'll never be rich in this lifetime!"
This warning had a great impact on everyone in the queue behind. No one dared to say anything more, and instead obediently went to Lin's restaurant to queue up and buy a serving of roasted sweet potato noodles or rice balls, just to make an impression and avoid being resented by Lin Weiming.
In fact, they greatly overestimated Lin Weiming's memory; he couldn't possibly remember so many guests.
Thanks to them, Lin Weiming and Liu Junlan sold out all the roasted sweet potato skins and rice balls in just half a morning.
"Father, will I only have to count three from now on?" Lin Wanyue asked, holding her father's hand and looking up.
Looking at his daughter's adorable appearance, Lin Weiming really wanted to reach out and ruffle her hair, but his other hand was still holding something and he couldn't free it.
"Wanwan, don't worry about making money. You can just tell fortunes for fun. If you're not happy, we won't do it. Dad made a lot of money today. How about I buy you something delicious?" Lin Weiming said with a smile.
Although Lin Wanyue was very tired from calculating every day, she was still somewhat reluctant to spend the money.
After all, she earned more than 170 coins yesterday, which her mother said she could buy a thick dress.
She was also thinking that if she earned a little more money, she could buy warm clothes for the whole family so they wouldn't be cold in winter.
Lin Wanyue shook her head: "No, no, no, let's save the money to buy clothes."
Only then did Liu Junlan realize what Lin Wanyue had been desperately trying to find fortune tellers these past few days. A pang of sadness welled up in her heart. Forgetting that she was still holding something, she shoved it into Lin Weiming's hands, then hugged Lin Wanyue tightly and gave her a good squeeze. Her voice was wet with tears as she said, "My Wanwan is such a good girl. All the good children in the world have come to my family. I'm truly blessed to have such a wonderful granddaughter. Let's go buy clothes today. Grandma has money!"
