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

At this moment when Old Lady Qin was standing in the yard sighing, Qin Wen came out of the house and shouted.

"Brother, there's no water in the jar."

After saying that, he walked into the kitchen and continued to work.

Upon hearing this, Qin Li immediately put down the adobe brick in his hand, picked up the bucket and went out to fetch water.

Yun Zhenzhen glanced at the woodshed and continued, "After fetching water, go to the foot of the mountain to get some firewood. You won't need much time to make the adobe bricks."

"By the way, Xiaonan, we need to take the chicks out for a walk and bring back some wild vegetables."

Yun Zhenzhen arranged the household affairs in an orderly manner.

When Old Mrs. Qin saw this scene, she felt even more apologetic. The third son's wife had been busy worrying all day, and she finally got a chance to sleep in. She still scolded her. It was really wrong of hers.

As a result, she became the most idle person in the whole yard.

The old lady hurried into the backyard to help with cooking.

The sun is shining.

Yun Zhenzhen built a temporary earthen stove in the backyard, with a newly bought big pot on top, which was used to cook for the workers. If the family members were too lazy to cook, they would eat together.

Amidst the busyness, the old lady suddenly said, "Did you know that the girl from Chenjia Village is getting married?"

"Which one?" Yun Zhenzhen didn't react for a moment.

"That's the one you asked me about last time, Chen Buya." Old Lady Qin looked mysterious. "I heard she married into a wealthy family in town. That young man is only twenty years old, but he's already a virgin. I'm sure he has a bright future."

"A student from the town?" Yun Zhenzhen thought about what Jing'er said that day. It seemed that one of the people involved in the frame-up was a student from the town. It couldn't be such a coincidence.

"Oh, although he's amazing, I'd say he's still a long way from being as good as your Jing." Old Lady Qin kept nagging, "By the way, how old is your Jing this year?"

"I'm thirteen years old at the beginning of the year." Yun Zhenzhen chatted idly.

"Thirteen is great, thirteen is so young, he will definitely be more powerful than the guy in town in the future." Old Lady Qin looked around puzzledly, "Strange, why haven't I seen him recently..."

......

On the other side, Yun Jing rode a ox cart to the county where the examination was held.

For some unknown reason, the venue for this exam was set at the Yunding County Government Office.

At the examination gate.

It was very lively here today because there was an exam and the yamen runners did not drive away the onlookers.

The two people who received the most attention were Wang Ze, the son of the Taiyin County magistrate, and Wang Ye, a student from a wealthy family in Liuye Town.

The two are relatives by marriage and can be considered birds of a feather. Wang Ye is rich and powerful, and Wang Ye is also knowledgeable.

The two saw Yun Jing passing by, and Wang Ye sneered: "Oh, cheaters dare to take the exam. Some people are really thick-skinned."

Yun Jing ignored him and walked straight inside.

Wang Ze nudged him with his arm, frowned, and scolded in a low voice: "Don't be so rude to him openly. Didn't I tell you that my dad just scolded me at home and asked me to apologize to him. Don't make trouble now."

"What should we do then?" Wang Ye asked in confusion, "Just let him go so easily?"

The two of them formed gangs in the academy and had a group of younger brothers following them, but Yun Jing refused to join any small group. He kept to himself, as if he was very noble.

What's more, Wang Ye and he are both students, but Yun Jing always ranks first in the academic examinations in the academy, always surpassing him. This is also one of the reasons why he targets Yun Jing.

As long as he drops out of school, the first place will be his.

"Oh, it's not that easy." Wang Ze sneered: "Just wait and see, he will have a hard time."

When the time came, a group of students came in and were subject to a simple body search before entering.

Because it is a college entrance examination, it is not as strict as the county examination. Moreover, the questions are set by the dean himself, so even if some people bring cheat sheets, they will not be able to understand them.

examination room.

Wang Ye looked at the last big question in the exam and began to sweat. He had been staring at this arithmetic problem for a long time but had no clue.

Although the previous big questions were a bit off, he was still able to answer quite a few questions after all, but this arithmetic question was a type of question he had never seen before.

Wang Ye looked at the questions, his mind a little distracted, and he subconsciously looked around. Most of the students were stuck on the last big question and had no idea where to start.

Well, if he can't do it, it's probably useless for others.

But the next second, his eyes swept towards Yun Jing, and his pupils suddenly shrank. This kid actually started writing.

Yun Jing looked at the question on the paper. Ten thousand pieces of wood require ten thousand people. Three adults are needed to lift one piece, and three children are needed to lift it. How many people are needed for each adult and child?

To put it simply, it is the problem of chickens and rabbits in the same cage. Ten thousand villagers need to move ten thousand pieces of wood, which is just enough to finish the work. If one adult can lift three pieces of wood and three children can lift one piece of wood, how many adults and children are there?

The Wei Dynasty valued culture over military power, and the imperial examinations were more about policy essays. Arithmetic questions rarely appeared, and even if there were questions, they were simple arithmetic questions and not very difficult.

Therefore, students of Xingyang Academy would not specifically study arithmetic, and the main problem was that the amount of information given was very large. If one used the hypothesis method to calculate, it would take a long time to get the answer.

He suddenly thought of the equation his aunt had taught him. Suppose the adult is named A and the child is named B. Then A plus B totals ten thousand. One A gets three pieces of wood, and one-third of B gets one piece of wood, which still adds up to ten thousand...

After a while, Yun Jing finished answering all the questions smoothly. After putting his things away, he asked to leave.

Wang Ye on the side looked at his figure with disdain. Humph, this kid knew he couldn't answer the question, so he ran away.

The exam lasted for two hours. Everyone was busy answering questions and no one paid attention to Yun Jing who was leaving, except for the two brothers Wang Ze.

Wang Ye thought for a long time and finally wrote down an answer that looked similar, filling up the entire sheet of paper.

After finishing the questions formally, the examiner began to collect the answer sheets. Wang Ye quickly raised his hand to help collect the papers. While collecting the papers, he also laughed at the other students. As expected, few of them could write it out.

Until he walked to Yun Jing's paper.

Wang Ye was not stupid, and was even considered a leader among his peers, otherwise he would not have been able to pass the examination to become a student. However, since he lived in a town, his horizons were limited, and he had seldom studied arithmetic problems like this one, so he racked his brains to come up with an answer.

But Yun Jing's answer sheet was well-reasoned, concise and clear. Even he, who saw this algorithm for the first time, could understand it and even knew that he had answered the question correctly.

Wang Ye suddenly panicked and quickly looked at Wang Ze beside him for help.

"Why haven't you collected it yet? What are you talking about?" the invigilator above urged impatiently.

Wang Ze signaled him to be patient and talk about it after he went out.

Wang Ye had no choice but to hand in his answer sheet obediently.

Walk out the door.

Wang Ye asked anxiously, "Cousin, what should we do? Yun Jing was the only one who answered the questions correctly in the entire exam. We can't let him take the spotlight like this."

"Are you sure he did the right thing?" Wang Ze's face was full of disbelief.

He also looked at the question, but had no idea what to do, so he just handed in a blank paper.

"I'm sure." Wang Ye said confidently, "His answer was indeed good. Although I can't answer it, I can tell it's right at a glance. If he really caught the headmaster's eye and entered Yueming Academy, would you be willing?"

Wang Ze's face was heavy when he heard this.

"But my father won't let me mess with him. If we do it again, he'll kill me if he finds out."

"Who said we were so brazen?" Wang Ye narrowed his eyes as an idea surfaced: "Won't we still have to copy under a false name later? As long as we have connections and change the name to yours, then we can only blame him for not being able to find us."

"This..." Wang Ze was a little hesitant.

"Don't hesitate, as long as you enter Yueming Academy, your future will be bright." Wang Ye kept adding fuel to the fire.

"Okay." Wang Ze finally made up his mind: "I'll change it to your name when the time comes. After all, your status as a Tongsheng is more convincing. Just don't forget my help in the future."

"Of course." Wang Ye's lips curled up into a smug smile.
