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

The Qin family’s new house.

Old Lady Yun looked at the rough bricks on the ground. Other people's yards were made of mud and looked dirty and messy, but she was so proud of herself that she insisted on making a yard paved with bricks. She also planted two trees next to it and placed a stone table underneath.

You really don't know how to live.

Yun Zhenzhen put down her bowl and chopsticks, walked out with a calm expression, and said with a forced smile, "What brings you out? Now that everyone is seated, I won't invite you in. If you really want to eat, I'll bring you a bowl."

When Old Lady Yun heard this, she was furious and wanted to beat this unfilial daughter to death, but thinking about the purpose of her visit today, she forced herself to endure it.

There were many people in the yard silently watching their situation. She could only take a deep breath and speak calmly, "Zhenzhen, I am your mother after all. I won't say any more polite words to you today. I am here mainly to bring you a great event."

Yun Zhenzhen looked at the man with shifty eyes behind her and understood that this old lady was still a thief and still remembered that thing that happened so long ago.

She smiled and said, "Isn't this a coincidence? I also have something happy to tell you, Jing'er, come here quickly."

Yun Jing was being held back by some aunts from the village, who kept asking him questions and making him feel very uncomfortable. He couldn't leave for the time being, otherwise he would have come out to see what was going on.

As soon as Yun Zhenzhen spoke, the others wisely let him go. Yun Jing quickly walked over and stood in front of Yun Zhenzhen without leaving any trace, looking like a chicken guarding its food.

When Old Lady Yun saw this scene, she became even angrier. Her grandson, whom she had raised since childhood, was actually bewitched by this vicious woman. She didn't know what kind of magic potion had been given to him, but he stayed here every day and didn't even go back home.

He spoke slowly, "Grandma, how come you have time to come here? I was planning to go back and see you after I finished my work here."

When Old Lady Yun heard this, she became furious. Everyone was questioning why she came. Shouldn't it be her fault that her own daughter didn't invite her to the banquet? Why did they come to ask her instead?

But the person standing in front of her was her precious grandson. She hadn't seen him for so long, so she couldn't bear to show her displeasure in front of him. She could only speak softly, "Jing'er, you haven't gone back to see grandma for so long. You have to suffer here. Grandma misses you."

"I'm doing well here. I'll come back to see you when I'm free in a few days." Yun Jing said softly.

Old Mrs. Yun wanted to persuade him to go home, but was interrupted by Yun Zhenzhen.

"Mrs. Yun, you are blaming me by saying this. Brother Jing has been living well in my house. I treat him as my own son. What's more, everyone in the village is kind to Brother Jing. He is doing very well here."

Yun Zhenzhen smiled and said, "There's one more thing. There's a girl in the village who I think is pretty good. She's also attracted to Brother Jing. I was thinking of waiting for them to pick a good date for their engagement, and then telling you..."

It’s just a random pairing, I can do that too.

"What!?" When Old Lady Yun heard that he wanted to arrange Jing'er's marriage, her eyes widened immediately: "You little bitch, why do you have the right to interfere in my grandson's marriage? Where do you get the qualifications?"

Yun Jing rushed to speak: "Grandma, please don't talk nonsense. I will listen to my aunt in everything."

"you you!!"

Old Mrs. Yun was so angry that she almost vomited blood, but she couldn't bear to say anything harsh to her eldest grandson.

Her grandson is going to pass the imperial examination and become a high-ranking official in the future. He will be interacting with rich ladies from the capital. How could he possibly discuss marriage with a village woman now? Not only would it hinder his future, but he is also at the age of studying. It is really outrageous.

She pointed at Yun Zhenzhen's nose and cursed, "If you dare to get Jing Ge'er engaged to a girl from your village, I will never let you go. Even if I become a ghost, I won't let you go..."

Yun Zhenzhen snorted coldly, "As Jing'er's aunt, I can't even interfere in his marriage. Now I'm the daughter-in-law of the Qin family. What right do you, the Yun family, have to interfere in my affairs? I learned all this from you."

Old Mrs. Yun was stunned for a moment. She hadn't even opened her mouth yet, so how did this little bitch know?

Yun Jing stepped forward to comfort her: "Grandma, please take this as a plea from me. Don't come here to cause trouble again. I'll go back to see you in a few days, okay?"

Old Lady Yun opened her mouth and spoke after a long while: "What are you talking about? We have even accepted the betrothal gift from the Zhu family, a full three taels of silver. Your aunt can't refuse this matter, and you, a child, shouldn't get involved."

"Then return the money." Yun Jing looked at the man behind him coldly. "My grandma made this decision privately. I'll return three taels of silver to you on her behalf, plus an extra hundred copper coins. I'll consider it your hard work. Please don't come to Qinjia Village to disturb my aunt again, otherwise I will report it to the police."

"That won't do. There's no point in reporting it to the authorities. Do you really think the officials have so much free time that they'd bother meddling in the affairs of a village girl like you?" The portly man stepped forward, muttering discontentedly, "Besides, this is legitimate. I already gave him three taels of silver. It was already settled a long time ago. I've been waiting for so long, how can I back out? This won't do. Today, this young lady must come with me. I'm still waiting to consummate our marriage."

As the man spoke, he pushed Old Lady Yun away and prepared to rush over and pull Yun Zhenzhen away.

The men at the tables closest to the courtyard gate had been paying attention to the movements here. Seeing that the fat man dared to attack directly, a group of people suddenly stood up and ran over to block him like a human wall.

"You dare to snatch the bride from our village in Qinjia Village? I think you are tired of living, right?"

"That's right, this isn't the way to seek death. You're pretending we don't exist."

"Who is in charge of patrol today? Let everyone see clearly from now on. These few people are not allowed to enter the village. Otherwise, all their wages for that day will be deducted."

"Exactly. Don't you see what kind of person you are? You're as fat as a pig, with pits all over your face. You're really like a toad wanting to eat swan meat."

The man was furious at being scolded, but he didn't dare to challenge so many strong men alone, so he could only start to talk nonsense: "Heh, Old Lady Yun said she was a widow, what kind of widow has so many men protecting her? Could they all be her mistresses?"

When Qin Li and his brothers heard him insulting their mother, they picked up their weapons and rushed over, hitting him on the legs with them.

Several other men also rushed over and started punching and kicking her. Their wife was at the table. How could they live their lives if they let her insult them like that and it got out?

A group of people surrounded him and beat him without showing any mercy.

Old Lady Yun was so frightened that she dodged repeatedly and patted her chest in panic, hoping that she would be hurt by mistake and get hit as well.

I just didn’t expect that this little whore would be so popular in Qinjia Village?

A group of people were arguing loudly when a carriage suddenly appeared at the door of the new house. The curtain was lifted and a woman dressed festively walked down from it.

"Oh my, this bridal chamber is so lively." The old woman waved her handkerchief and smiled brightly. "Excuse me, is this Qinjia Village? Is this the bridal chamber wine at Qin Yun's house?"
