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

Ouch——

With a pull of the reins, the ox cart stopped steadily at the doorstep.

"Shuze family, whose ox cart are you driving? I don't think I've seen it before."

"You didn't buy it yourself, did you? It's so powerful, that one must have cost a lot of money, right?"

The idle people in the village gathered around her and asked her all kinds of questions when they saw her come back.

Yun Zhenzhen jumped down from the cart and cleared her throat. "I'm too busy at home. It's inconvenient to always borrow someone else's ox cart, so I just bought one myself. The boss just taught us how to drive it..."

When they heard that she really bought it herself, the people around her immediately praised her: "Oh, sister Yun, you are so capable. You built a house and bought an ox cart. I am really envious of you."

"Didn't the county magistrate reward me with several dozen taels of silver last time? Besides building a house, I can definitely afford to buy an ox cart with the extra money."

Everyone was envious, but they were just envious and did not feel jealous. After all, it was achieved through their own hard work.

Of course, there are also many people who think it is a pity to spend all the money.

"If you don't save money well, you will spend it as soon as you get it. What will you do if you don't have money when you need it? Sigh."

Yun Zhenzhen pursed her lips and smiled when she heard this. This was exactly the effect she wanted, to let everyone know that she had spent all her money and that certain people should stop plotting against her.

Qin Wen ran out excitedly: "Mom, you really bought an ox cart. From now on, I will go to cut grass for the ox every day and take good care of it."

Xiao Nan struggled to squeeze in: "I... and me, second brother, you should focus on your studies, and leave the feeding of the cows to me."

"Why did you buy an ox cart? There are already ox carts in the village. You can just borrow one when you need it. Why did you spend so much money to buy one? It's a waste of money."

Old Lady Qin pushed through the crowd and squeezed in: "The eldest and second brothers usually do business, so they can just carry their loads. Why would they need an ox cart if it is so precious..."

Old man Qin came forward and pulled her aside: "We have separated, why do you care so much? They earn their own money, so they can buy whatever they want."

"I already care very little!"

Old Mrs. Qin looked at Old Man Qin speechlessly. After all, the third son's wife was still young, and she had to keep an eye on her all the time. What if she spent money without restraint and ruined the family fortune?

Old Man Qin ignored Old Lady Qin's gaze and walked forward, rubbing his hands excitedly: "Um... Third Old Wife, it's getting late now, do you still need to go out in an ox cart?"

Yun Zhenzhen automatically filtered out Old Lady Qin's howling and said with a smile, "No need. I'll prepare dinner now. Dad, do you want to..."

Old man Qin scratched his head a little embarrassedly. He had lived for decades and had never driven an ox cart. It shouldn't be a big problem for him to get a rub of his daughter-in-law's hand.

"Well, we just bought the oxcart, so I thought I'd give it a spin for you guys to see if there's anything wrong with it so I can find the boss to replace it in time."

Yun Zhenzhen couldn't help but laugh. As expected, men of any age would like this kind of cycling tool.

She nodded quickly: "Okay, then let's go home first. Dad, please help us check it carefully."

She moved the things down and walked into the kitchen. She really didn't want to be the focus of so many people anymore.

As soon as Yun Zhenzhen left, the rest of the onlookers gathered around at once. Old Man Qin pushed them aside and jumped onto the ox cart. His agile figure didn't reveal that he was an old man who was nearly fifty years old.

Qin Shouren saw this and hurried over: "Dad, you haven't learned how to drive a cart yet. I just learned it. Let me teach you."

"We control the reins with one hand, and use the other hand to hold the whip to keep the horse within sight, and then shout out different commands..."

"drive--"

"Uu——"

As soon as Qin Shouren finished speaking, Old Man Zhao shouted two slogans and drove the ox cart out.

"Dad, slow down, be careful, and watch the road. Don't rush into the ditch..."

Qin Shouren ran behind in fear. After all, the old man was old. If he accidentally fell off the car, he would be almost dead.

Old man Qin didn't care about all this. He drove the ox cart around the village for a walk. He was not in a hurry and hummed a little tune slowly. The ox cart drove smoothly all the way, circled the entire Qinjia Village, and finally returned safely to Yun Zhenzhen's door.

"Hey……"

He jumped off the bike, having had a great time, and was very satisfied.

Qin Shouren was a little bit incredulous: "Dad, have you ever driven an ox cart before? How did you learn it so quickly?"

You have to know that the boss's assistant took him a full hour to teach him, and even then, he almost lost control on the way back. The third brother's wife was not at all reassured and simply stopped him from driving.

"Tsk..." Old Man Qin rolled his eyes at him proudly. "Your father is your father. Even if you haven't eaten pork, you've seen pigs run. You've lived for decades. You should have learned from watching Brother Niu driving a cart at the village entrance."

Um...okay.

"Oh, when our family becomes rich, we will move to a bigger house and buy an ox cart..." Old man Qin stroked his beard, his face full of fantasy.

"You old fool, what are you daydreaming about in broad daylight?" Old Lady Qin pinched his arm mercilessly. "When you have money, send the children to school first. Don't you see how fast Erdan is learning and improving at the home of the third daughter-in-law? There are so many children at home, and you still want to buy an ox cart? You won't be able to enjoy that life in your next life..."

Qin Shouren thought it made sense after hearing it, but he still felt disappointed.

Suddenly, he had a bad idea in his heart, so he pulled his younger brother and said, "Second brother, try riding on the ox cart, it's really impressive."

I spent a lot of effort to learn it. When they don’t know it anymore, they can come back to me and ask me to teach them. It makes me happy just thinking about it.

Qin Shouyi, who was standing nearby, couldn't wait any longer. He wanted to get on his brother and sister-in-law's ox cart and take a stab at it.

He imitated Old Man Qin, jumped on and shouted loudly. The black and brown ox cart started moving instantly. He pulled the reins in a very professional manner to control the speed of the cart. Although he held a whip in his other hand, he couldn't bear to hit it hard, so he just walked slowly.

After a while, Qin Shouyi drove the carriage around and stopped steadily at the door.

"Brother, you're right. Driving a bullock cart feels completely different from sitting on it. It's so cool! If it weren't for the late hour, I'd want to do another round."

"Brother, don't you want to try again? When I came back just now, I saw that it was my third sister-in-law who was driving the car. You should get on too."

"Really? Driving an ox cart is so easy! There's no need to learn anything! Oh my god, this is so exciting."

Qin Shouren: “…”

It turns out that he was the only one who couldn't learn it in a long time.

He felt like he was in deep pain and suddenly felt so stupid that it took him so long to learn even the simplest thing, driving a bullock cart.
