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

Chen hurried over to smooth things over.

"Oh, Third Sister-in-law, what are you talking about? Our Xiuxiu is a warm-hearted girl. Seeing Yun Tongsheng working, she felt sorry for him and wanted to help him. It's not as serious as you say."

"Besides, Yun Tongsheng hasn't said anything yet. What if he has the same idea? Wouldn't you be ruining your nephew's good fortune..."

Yun Jing said coldly: "I don't have such an idea. What my aunt means is what I mean."

He clapped his hands and went straight to the backyard to weed with Qin Li.

Wang Ze, who was standing by, saw that the protagonist was not there and there was no good show to watch, so he also ran to the backyard.

Chen wanted to stop him and say a few more words, but was stopped by Yun Zhenzhen.

"Since there's nothing else to do, please go back, sister-in-law. I'm busy at home, so I won't keep you here any longer."

Having said that, Chen was still thinking about becoming Yun Zhenzhen's in-laws in the future, so she couldn't make things too awkward. She could only agree: "Okay, then I'll come see you in a few days. If you need anything, ask my niece to help."

Li Xiuxiu also followed him out, and before leaving, she looked back at the backyard reluctantly.

Before she could finish her words, Yun Zhenzhen closed the gate.

He is really a person who will not do anything without profit.

The college entrance examination will be held next year. Yun Jing has less work to do at home now. Yun Zhenzhen hopes that he can prepare for the exam wholeheartedly and not let these troubles affect his studies.

If she failed to keep an eye on him and let him be tricked by some girls with ulterior motives, she would really lose face in front of Old Lady Yun.

Chen Xiuxiu followed Chen all the way to the village entrance. She was from Chenjia Village, and her family didn't have any extra room for her to live in, so she had to leave on the same day she came.

After taking two steps, Chen felt a little disappointed: "Just now, couldn't you say a few more words to try to get closer to Yun Tongsheng?"

"Aunt, I spoke too, but there won't be more opportunities later." Chen Xiuxiu's face flushed: "Then Aunt Yun just stood aside, and I was embarrassed to be too proactive. Yun Tongsheng is not even thirteen yet, so there's no rush."

This morning, my aunt came home in a hurry and told her to go to Qinjia Village to look for a man. I was originally reluctant because she was pretty and capable. Although she was still young, many matchmakers in the village had already set their sights on her.

Last year, a distant cousin had been secretly and openly inquiring about her family's situation.

But she never gave in. She looked down on the villagers and she deserved better.

Since my aunt married into Qinjia Village, she has never brought any good things home, and she probably has no contact with any high-level people. She thought that the person she was taking her to see today would be a farmer, but unexpectedly, the other party was a scholar.

It's not just that he's a scholar, he's a student at a young age, and the key is that he's extremely handsome. With her good looks, only a man like this is worthy of her.

Maybe I can pass the imperial examination and become a scholar. If I become the top scholar, wouldn’t I be the wife of the top scholar?

The more Chen Xiuxiu thought about it, the more excited she became.

Seeing her in a daze, Chen said to herself, "Next time, when Yun Zhenzhen is not at home, go over there quietly and get acquainted with Yun Tongsheng first. Then things will be easier in the future."

"After all, the two children are grown up now. It's not up to her, a young aunt, to interfere in a matter of mutual consent."

Chen Xiuxiu nodded shyly and became firm in her inner thoughts.

Just as the two were about to part, Chen Xiuxiu suddenly spoke up, "Aunt, do you think I wasn't dressed well today? That's why Yun Tongsheng didn't talk to me much."

Chen walked around her and said, "It's indeed a bit plain. Yun Tongsheng is studying in town, so he must have seen many beautiful girls. You still need to put in some effort."

"Then, Auntie, can you lend me your dress?" Chen Xiuxiu hesitated and said, "I remember the new dress you wore when you got married. It was so beautiful. It was bright red. It made you look much better. If you wore that dress to meet people, I'm sure many people would like it."

Chen was a little hesitant.

That was the new dress she embroidered herself before her wedding. The lotus flowers on it were specially embroidered by her at an embroidery workshop in town. It was the only decent dress she had ever owned in her life. After wearing it once on her wedding day, she never dared to take it out again.

Seeing that she didn't say anything, Chen Xiuxiu tugged at her sleeve and said coquettishly, "Aunt, I'll only borrow it to wear this time. I'll definitely wash it and return it to you after wearing it. This is my niece's lifelong event. Don't you want to see her find a good home?"

Chen looked at her well-behaved appearance and couldn't help but feel pity for her. She gritted her teeth and said, "Okay, next time you wear my clothes and go find that boy from the Yun family. I guarantee that every young man in the village will be unable to take their eyes off you."

Chen Xiuxiu smiled so much that her eyes curved into little crescents: "Thank you, auntie. I knew you loved me the most."

Yun Zhenzhen's home.

The sun gradually grew higher, and Qin Li hurried back from the fields to prepare for lunch.

Yun Zhenzhen asked the children to quickly wash up and lie down on the bed to sleep for half an hour. They still had to continue working in the afternoon, and it would be difficult for them to hold on without a break at noon.

While the children were resting, she thoughtfully laid two straw mats for Wang Ze on the floor of the main room, and put straw underneath so that he wouldn't feel choked.

Although this young master is talkative and foul-mouthed, Lai Fu, who he brought with him, actually worked for half a day, so it is understandable to let them lie down and rest.

After packing up her things, when she passed by the main room, she found two people tossing and turning on the floor. It was obvious that they had no habit of taking a nap and could not sleep.

Wang Ze's clothes were torn in several ways on the road today, and his hands had several blisters due to improper chopping posture. Lai Fu also had many scattered cuts on his body.

Wang Ze is fifteen years old this year, and Lai Fu looks about fourteen or fifteen. The two children left home and went to the village to work. Although they had some conflicts with Jing Ge'er before, at least for now, they don't have any bad intentions.

If the wound is not treated, I'm afraid it will be very uncomfortable in the next two days.

She went into the kitchen, found some anti-inflammatory and analgesic herbs, crushed them and took them to the main room.

He said calmly, "Laifu, you two should take care of the wounds on your bodies. This herb can relieve the pain. It will make you feel much better after applying it."

Lai Fu took the herb and sniffed it curiously. It smelled a strong Chinese medicinal scent. It must be a wild herb found in the mountains. Although it was not as precious as the ointment the young master usually used, it was better than nothing.

He stood up and applied it carefully to Wang Ze. Wang Ze didn't want to use this dirty-looking thing, but he had done a lot of work today and his whole body was sore, so he was unable to refute.

After dealing with Wang Ze, Lai Fu carefully went outside and applied medicine to himself.

After a while, the master and servant lay down on the straw mat and fell into a deep sleep.

Everyone else in the room had also fallen asleep, and the sound of their even breathing could be heard.
