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

Old Lady Qin stood before her and said in a cold voice, "This thing isn't just needed by your family. So many families in the village are waiting to use it. Today, I'm going to make an offer. Except for the first ones who borrowed it, everyone who just came to help, every household will line up, and the rest can take their turn borrowing the stone mill."

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone who had just helped became very excited. With this thing, they could harvest the wheat at home ahead of time.

Mrs. Qin was instantly unhappy: "Why should they borrow first? I was the first one to come here, so they should lend it to me first."

Before Mrs. Qin could react, her neighbors were already shouting back, "Some people are so shameless. They hid and rested while working, and now they're out and about again."

"That's right, you only know how to rush to borrow things, but why don't you rush to help with the work?"

"How shameless!"

"Uncle Qin, Aunt Qin, don't lend it to her. Don't lend it to her after we've used it. Just keep it at home..."

"..."

Seeing this, Mrs. Qin pushed the crowd away and said, "If you don't want to lend it, then don't lend it. Who cares? Be careful not to crush the wheat. Then you can cry..."

No one listened to her nonsense, thinking she was just talking nonsense because she couldn't borrow the millstone.

......

After packing up everything, Yun Zhenzhen took the child and prepared to go home.

"Why go back? Just eat here. You've been busy all day. Can't you even have a meal?"

When Old Lady Qin discovered that they were about to leave, she quickly chased them to the door and shouted.

Yun Zhenzhen smiled and shook her head: "There are a lot of things to do at home, and Aunt Zhao has already prepared dinner, so we can just go home and eat."

Seeing that her persuasion was unsuccessful, Old Lady Qin quickly walked into the kitchen and started searching around.

When he came out again, he was carrying a large basket on his back, which was full of radishes.

"Take this home and eat it. The ones we planted recently are all ripe, and we have radishes for three meals a day."

Yun Zhenzhen didn't refuse again and let Qin Li take it.

"Thank you, mother. We'll be leaving now."

"Let's go." Old Mrs. Qin waved her hand indifferently, but in her heart she hoped that they could stay for dinner. Since the separation, the children had not come back for a meal.

Just after sending the person away, I happened to see Chen coming back from the field, speaking in a sarcastic tone.

"Oh, if you ask me, this third sister-in-law just doesn't like our dinner and wants to go home and eat good food."

When Old Lady Qin heard this, she felt her blood boiling: "You gossipy woman, if you say something like that again, I'll tear your mouth apart. Hurry up and cook, or we'll all starve to death."

"I understand." Chen didn't dare to talk back and could only walk towards the kitchen reluctantly.

Although Yun Zhenzhen wasn't a very good person, her nephew was handsome and a student, so he definitely had a bright future. It just so happened that her niece on her mother's side was of marriageable age...

Thinking this, Chen prepared to go back to her parents' home tomorrow.

......

As soon as Yun Zhenzhen returned home, she smelled a fragrance coming out.

"It smells so good." Qin Wen sniffed.

The courtyard door was not closed, and the scene inside was clearly visible. There was a large pot full of stewed radishes, and several large bones were also placed in it, and even the radishes were covered with the aroma of meat.

For dinner, we had rice with potatoes and corn. The combination of staple food and staple food kept us full until the next morning without feeling hungry.

As soon as they came back, they started eating.

While eating, Yun Zhenzhen chatted with Old Zhang about the recent progress, what was still needed at home, and the budget.

After dinner, everyone went back to their respective duties. There was still more than an hour before dark. Old Zhang knew that Yun Zhenzhen was in a hurry, so after dinner he would usually take the workers to work for another hour.

Qin Li went to the fields to weed, and Yun Zhenzhen took a few children to go to the mountains.

There have been two rains recently, and all kinds of mushrooms will definitely grow in the mountains and forests again.

When Xiao Nan heard that they were going up the mountain, she put on her small backpack and waited at the door early. As soon as she went out, she pulled Qin Wen up the mountain.

"Run slower, be careful not to fall." Qin Wen followed him helplessly.

As soon as the few people entered the mountains, they were greeted by the fragrance of soil, which was a little damp.

Xiao Nan walked in front and said, "Mom, I found a lot of chicken mushrooms."

A few people hurriedly followed and saw the newly emerged chicken mushrooms under the leaves. They were still the size of buds and tasted particularly good.

After putting the chicken mushrooms into their pockets, the few of them immediately separated to look for them, but they would not be too far apart, so that they could see each other as soon as they looked up.

Although it rained last night, there were still a lot of water droplets on the grass and leaves, and my trouser legs were wet after just a short walk.

Everyone held a sickle or a small stick in their hands, which was convenient for exploring the way and turning over the weeds to look for mushrooms.

In the forest after the rain, you can find many plump mushrooms without much effort.

Yun Zhenzhen used a stick to pull away the grass, and the mushrooms underneath came into view one after another.

The cap is gray-black with small water droplets hanging on it. The cap is not big, but the stem is particularly thick, and each one is plump.

Mushrooms in the mountains know where to grow, and each type of mushroom grows in a different area, so they won't grow together randomly.

The area in front of me is exactly the nest of porcini mushrooms. After picking them up, there are about one or two pounds. Then I continue walking forward and see a few lonely blue-headed mushrooms. There are no extra weeds around them and they can be seen at a glance.

In less than half an hour, her backpack was almost full, with all kinds of mushrooms in a mixture of different colors.

"Mom, how many mushrooms did you pick over there?" Xiao Nan shouted at the top of her voice.

Qin Wen also carried a large backpack filled to the brim: "I found so much here, it's almost full."

Yun Zhenzhen looked up and saw that it was getting dark. Most of the women who had been picking mushrooms with her on the mountain had left, and only a few were still there.

"I'm almost done here, let's go home and pack up and get ready to go home."

Suddenly, Yun Zhenzhen saw a pile of green fungi with red caps that looked pink and tender.

This... is good stuff!

In her previous life, a certain audio video was popular for a while. She saw online bloggers buying and eating it every day. Although there were many cases of failure, she had completely memorized the method of eating it.

The bunch of green onions in front of her were growing very thickly, popping up from the soil like bamboo shoots after rain, waiting for her favor.

After picking up the last handful, Yun Zhenzhen’s backpack was completely full.

"Come on, let's go home."

There were four people going up the mountain with four backpacks, three of which were full and one was only half full. They picked mushrooms as they walked down the mountain, and before they got out of the mountain, all four backpacks were already full.
