Stepmother in charge: Making a fortune through farming and raising her children to fight back

When Zhang Qiang heard this, he immediately became much more sober.

If she moves out of the family, who will do the laundry, cook, and serve the whole family? Besides, she can still go to Yun Zhenzhen's house to work and get paid, but in the end, all the money will go into her own pocket.

He immediately softened his expression: "What are you talking about? We are all family. I just said those words in anger. How could I really kick Xiao E out? She is my biological sister."

Yun Zhenzhen didn't care what evil plan he had in mind and signaled to Aunt Zhao with her eyes.

The two men took Xiao E's hand and walked out of the house.

Seeing that there was no conflict, the onlookers dispersed and went back to their work.

The sun is westward.

Many families have already started preparing dinner.

Xiao'e and Aunt Zhao followed Yun Zhenzhen home.

Xiao Nan was feeding the piglets in the pen. Outside the yard, Dashan and Xiaoshan were taking the chicks for a walk in an orderly manner.

The sharp-eyed Xiaoshan smelled the scent of Yun Zhenzhen in an instant. The little one let out a happy "Aowang" and ran over happily, rubbing against her trouser legs. Behind him were flying little chicks, stumbling and flapping their little wings.

Yun Zhenzhen touched the heads of the two puppies, and then Qin Nan also ran out of the house.

"Mom, you're back. I've finished feeding all the animals at home. Am I amazing?"

"Xiao Nan is so great!" Yun Zhenzhen picked her up and said, "You must be hungry. We'll cook dinner later."

Qin Nan nodded with a smile, and then saw Xiao E beside him: "Mother, is this sister also a guest of our family?"

"This is the sister who came to help. You can just call her Sister Xiao'e." Yun Zhenzhen introduced with a smile.

Xiao E shyly greeted her from the side: "Hello, Sister Xiao Nan."

After a few words, they followed each other into the yard.

Everyone in the yard was busy. When they saw Yun Zhenzhen coming, they greeted her enthusiastically. Yun Zhenzhen walked over and talked to Old Zhang.

It would be a lie for Xiao'e to say she wasn't surprised when she saw this scene. Her parents had taught her since she was a child that girls would become the daughters-in-law of other people's families in the future. They had to learn to do housework, do chores and wash clothes at home, and be proficient in everything. They couldn't go out and show their faces in public, otherwise they would be despised after they got married.

They had never told her that women could also be the head of a family and negotiate things with others outside. Xiao E looked at the two people in front of her, and new ideas were spreading wildly in her mind.

"Sister Xiao'e, come in and have some water." Qin Nan's voice rang out in the main room, and two tea bowls were placed on the table.

Xiao E shyly walked over and sat down, gently sipping the water in the bowl: "Hey, why is this water so sweet? It tastes really good."

"I added some frosting sugar to it." Qin Nan moved a stool and sat next to her: "Mom said that these workers are very tired from working, so we can add some sugar to the water to replenish their energy and work harder."

Xiao E was shocked after hearing this. Adding sugar to water and giving it to outsiders to drink was really a luxury.

She put down the tea bowl and didn't take another sip. It was such a precious thing, so she should drink less. Sister Yun asked her to come over to help, not to spend money.

Seeing that she didn't drink the sweet water, Qin Nan thought she didn't like it, so he quickly grabbed a handful of roasted pine nuts and handed them to her: "Sister, have some of this, it's roasted and tastes delicious."

Xiao E was flattered and took it, but she didn't dare to eat it. She had just arrived and hadn't done any work yet, but she was already eating and drinking. What if Sister Yun thought she was greedy and didn't need her anymore?

Yun Zhenzhen and Aunt Zhao came out of the kitchen and went to the inner room to get some cloth. These were the ones they had bought in town before. Ready-made clothes were too expensive, so they only bought one set. It would be more cost-effective to buy cloth and make clothes by themselves.

Seeing this, Xiao E quickly put down what she was holding and ran over.

Yun Zhenzhen wanted them to help make some clothes when they were free, as the children at home always needed something to change into after working. However, the clothes she made herself were really ugly, and the stitches looked like earthworms crawling.

After hearing this, Aunt Zhao and Xiao E said it was no problem and they would make it when they had nothing to do after dinner.

Seeing this, Qin Wen poked the boss next to him.

Qin Li felt his urging, and silently walked into the inner room to rummage through the drawers and took out a pile of white cloth. These were the few feet of cloth that he and his brothers and sisters bought with their pocket money when they went to town last time.

My mother has been buying things for them all the time, running her business to make money, but she hasn't bought anything for herself. A few days ago, she was busy with the autumn harvest and her clothes were torn, and she didn't have time to buy new ones.

"Aunt Zhao, I'd like to ask you for a favor." Qin Li blushed and said, "I'd like you to make a skirt for my mother with this cloth."

"Good, good, good, the child has grown up and knows how to care for others." Aunt Zhao smiled and said, "Now your family is living a more prosperous life. You will have a beautiful future."

After hearing this, Qin Li ran away and continued to make adobe bricks, but he couldn't hide the smile on his face.

For dinner, everyone had a big pot of rice, and a pot of potato and bone soup. The potatoes were mixed with pork bones, and the whole pot had a meaty taste. It was paired with steamed corn, a staple food with a staple food. Dozens of people ate until their bellies were full, and not even the last bit of soup was left at the bottom of the pot.

After dinner, Old Zhang and everyone prepared to go home and come to work early tomorrow.

After Aunt Zhao and Xiao E cleaned up the house inside and out, they also stood up and said goodbye.

I didn't pay her today because I was afraid I would be too busy and forget. We agreed to pay her every ten days. I also picked a handful of pine nuts for Xiao E to take back.

Xiao'e's eyes gradually became red as she walked on the way home.

Sister Yun is so nice. She is so gentle to me and even pays me. Why is an outsider so nice to me, but my own brother is so harsh on me?

As soon as she entered her yard, Zhang Qiang slammed the door open: "Hey, you still remember to come back? Why didn't you come earlier? Do you want to starve your brother to death?"

Xiao E didn't want to pay attention to him and walked straight to the woodshed where she lived.

"I'm talking to you, are you deaf?" Zhang Qiang was annoyed when she ignored him. "Here's the money you earned from work today. Hurry and give it to me. I need it."

"I haven't received the money yet, why are you in such a hurry?" After saying that, she slammed the wooden door shut.

Zhang Qiang cursed directly at the door: "What the hell are you looking at? Do you want to starve me to death? No wonder my parents always say that I am such an ungrateful person."

Xiao'e walked into the house and carefully put the pine nuts away. She heard Zhang Qiang still cursing outside the door. She opened the door and said viciously: "If you keep cursing, believe it or not, I will really go to the village chief to separate me out. I can survive even if I don't need a penny from you."

Originally, Zhang Qiang didn't believe that Xiao E had the courage to do this, but her scolding just now really made him believe that she dared to go to the village chief. Now he couldn't let her leave home. His wife had returned to her parents' home, and there were a lot of things waiting for her to do at home.

Zhang Qiang could only return to his house angrily. After a while, he opened the door, walked into the kitchen, and started working.
