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

Qinjia Village.

The sun is particularly hot today, and I feel a little red and warm all over.

Yun Zhenzhen was not polite at all. She took Wang Ze directly to the yard and threw him a handkerchief.

"You, follow and pull the stone mill."

Wang Ze looked at the handkerchief in his hand, whose original color could no longer be seen, and put it to his nose to smell it.

"vomit......"

He covered his nose in disgust and hurried to the wheat field.

When Qin Li saw him coming, he asked Old Man Qin to step down and take a break, and let him take over.

"Please use more force, otherwise the millstone will not move. You are such a grown man, but your strength is as little as a little girl."

"Don't go straight, turn around. No, no, no, you've already run too far."

"No, change direction. Don't argue with me. Just follow my lead. Ouch..."

Wang Ze, who was originally planning to pretend, could only work harder amid Qin Li's ridicule.

He is much stronger than the little girl.

At first, Mrs. Qin and her family were not used to having such a rich young man working next to them, and they were worried that he would be wronged. But after a while, seeing that he had no complaints, they stopped caring about him and just went back to their work.

Jiang worked silently with her head down. She usually didn't talk much and didn't know how to deal with strangers, let alone a young master from the county.

Chen was different. She eagerly served him tea and water, and kept asking about his family's situation.

Finally, Old Lady Qin couldn't bear it anymore and asked her to go to the field to bring Qin Shouyi a pot of water to drink.

Only then did everyone's ears quiet down.

Yun Jing looked at Wang Ze who was working hard and didn't know what to say.

When he saw Wang Ze appear here today, he didn't want to pay any attention to him, but he had to stay, so he could only pretend to ignore him.

Yun Zhenzhen finished packing a bag of wheat outside. Seeing that Yun Jing was not there, she dusted herself off and went to the backyard.

Yun Jing was squatting on the ground picking vegetables with Erdan.

"Brother Jing, why are you running here to hide away?"

Yun Jing looked up at her without saying anything.

After spending some time together, this was the first time he showed this little emotion in front of Yun Zhenzhen.

He is usually sensible and calm, so he would never act like this.

"What? Don't you want to see Wang Ze?"

Yun Jing finally spoke: "Aunt, he was among those who took the lead in framing me in the academy last time. And this time, he impersonated me. Wang Ye is the son of a businessman. How could he have the ability to replace names? He must have been involved in this..."

"So, you hate him, right?" Yun Zhenzhen asked.

Yun Jing pursed his lips and did not shake his head.

"But Jing'er, you don't have to show your dislike for someone." Yun Zhenzhen said earnestly, "You know, Wang Ze's father is the magistrate of Taiyin County. Although he's not a high-ranking official, he's not someone we ordinary people can challenge. Now he's showing you goodwill. If you keep avoiding him, it'll easily turn into an enemy. What are you going to do?"

"I'm not afraid." Yun Jing said angrily.

"If you're not afraid, then have you ever thought about your parents? And your grandparents who worked hard to support your studies." Yun Zhenzhen stared at him and asked.

"What's more, you will most likely enter the officialdom in the future. Facing your superiors and people you dislike, you must learn to conceal your emotions and live peacefully with those you dislike. This is also a great skill."

"You can't just say you don't want to be an official. That would be a shame to your family who worked so hard to raise you, and also to your ambition to serve the country and the people."

Hearing this, Yun Jing finally stopped picking vegetables and looked at Yun Zhenzhen.

"Auntie, can't you just stay honest all the time?"

"Brother Jing, you have to know that you can't have your cake and eat it too. If you are too clean, it will be a sin."

Yun Jing nodded thoughtfully.

After a while.

He stood up and said, "Aunt, Grandma Qin and the others must be tired. I'll go replace them and boil a pot of water for them."

"I've boiled water for you." Yun Zhenzhen smiled and patted his shoulder. "I added some herbs that your cousin picked in the mountains. They can clear away heat and relieve summer heat. It will be more refreshing to drink."

Yun Jing went to the kitchen to get a few bowls for eating, took out a few bowls of water, and handed one bowl to each person.

Finally, he brought a bowl of water and solemnly handed it to Wang Ze: "Thank you for your help, Brother Wang. Yun Jing is very grateful. The previous matter is written off. Please forgive me for the poor hospitality."

Wang Ze actually looked down on the bowl of water. He was the son of a county magistrate and had nothing, but he still took the bowl of water with a smile.

"Brother Yun, now that the matter is settled, when are you going to leave for Yueming Academy? We can go together then. What do you think?"

On the list posted at that time, in addition to the cheating Wang Ye, Wang Ze was also on the list.

Yun Jing looked at him and said calmly, "The results haven't come out yet."

"No, I passed by Yunding County on the way here and found that the list had been reposted, and you were at the top." Wang Ze took a sip of water.

Hey, the white water in this mountain village has a sweet scent.

He then continued, "With Brother Yun's talent, even if there are no results, you are sure to get first place."

Yun Jing ignored his compliment and said calmly, "Don't worry. My family's been busy lately, so I might have to stay a little longer. Besides, my family is poor, and I need to save up some money for my studies. I'm afraid I won't be able to go with you this year."

Wang Ze was a little surprised to hear this.

He knew Yun Jing's family was poor, but he never expected that he couldn't even afford the tuition for his studies...

"Young Master Wang must be tired after pulling the millstone for so long. Sit down and take a rest." Yun Zhenzhen walked over with a smile.

Wang Ze was sweating all over at this moment, but he still replied politely: "Madam Yun, you are too polite..."

Yun Zhenzhen was a little surprised that he knew her maiden name. He must have done a lot of research.

"Come and sit down." Yun Zhenzhen smiled and brought out two stools and some freshly cooled herbal tea. "You came in a hurry today, and we haven't prepared anything at home, so it's a bit shabby. I won't let you stay for dinner. I hope you don't mind, Young Master Wang."

Wang Ze nodded. Their relationship was not close enough to eat at the same table, so they could just go to the town and have a quick meal later.

Then he took a sip of the water in the bowl and said in surprise: "Not only is the water in this village sweet, but even the tea tastes very unique."

Wang Ze was a little disdainful at first, but after taking a sip, he couldn't help but finish it all.

After finishing, he kept smacking his lips and looked at Yun Zhenzhen.

She took the bowl with a smile and filled another large bowl and handed it over.

Wang Ze stared at the yellowed bottom of the bowl in front of him, and his eyes slowly moved to the edge of the bowl, which was covered with densely packed small gaps, causing a trace of resistance to rise in his heart, even though he had always lived a life of luxury.

However, the taste of the tea was so fragrant and tempting that he took the bowl, drank it in big gulps, and then quickly put the bowl down.
