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

"Yes, may I ask who you are..." Yun Zhenzhen walked past a wall of people and asked with a smile.

"Oh, you look so young." The old woman smiled and said, "I am the nanny of County Magistrate Lu's family. I came here today to give you a gift for the completion of your new house."

As she spoke, the nanny waved her hand, and four servants came out behind her, each holding a large plate in their hands.

"This is a gift from County Magistrate Lu. It consists of five pieces of cloth, four boxes of snacks, a set of four study treasures, and a piece of fifty-year-old wild ginseng."

When the things were put on display, the whole village was stunned.

When they built a new house in Qinjia Village, the county magistrate actually sent them a gift.

It seems that the Qin Yun family has really gained respect in the county, and their family's future prosperity is just around the corner!

Yun Zhenzhen smiled and welcomed everyone in to sit down and eat. Then several carriages came over behind them.

County Magistrate Wang and the county magistrate of the neighboring Taiyin County each sent gifts. Even several county magistrates who had no contact with him wrote letters to express their congratulations and brought some gifts.

Taiyin County was brought here by Wang Ze himself. As soon as the carriage stopped, he couldn't wait to jump off.

"Aunt Qin, I brought you a lot of goodies, all treasures from my father's study. Come and see!"

Yun Zhenzhen was a little helpless: "Everyone is eating now, put the food inside, and you come over to eat too. I'll take a closer look after you finish eating."

"That's fine." Wang Ze ran in impatiently and walked directly to the kitchen table and sat down as if he was familiar with the place.

He hadn't eaten at Yun Zhenzhen's house these days and he really missed it. Since he had been here for a long time, the food cooked by the chef in the mansion was simply hard to swallow.

Old Mrs. Qin looked at the cartloads of gifts coming over, opened her mouth, but could not utter a word.

The third son's wife has won the favor of so many Shangguans, and she will definitely be successful in the future. After all, she and the third son have no children, so there will be no fault to be found even if she remarries in the future.

But she can't stop others from running towards a better life. After all, the third son's wife has been very nice to the old house and the children recently.

Old Mrs. Qin was a little panicked and tremblingly grabbed the hand of Old Man Qin next to her.

Old man Qin also sighed lightly. The third son's wife is so capable, she will definitely go higher and further in the future. Isn't this all expected?

He only hoped that if she really wanted to remarry in the future, she would not forget the Qin family's children and come back to see them from time to time.

After all, the children all regard her as their own mother.

On the other side, Old Lady Yun's jaw almost dropped to the ground. She thought she had misheard, but when she saw that everyone in Qinjia Village around her was surprised, she knew that what she saw was real.

Wasn't Yun Zhenzhen, a young widow, just building a new house? She actually attracted several county magistrates to send her gifts. What kind of luck was this?

Could it be that the county magistrate has taken a fancy to this young widow? No...that's not right. Why would she do that? It must be because of my brother Jing'er.

The county magistrate must have known that Jing'er was at his aunt's house, so he sent some gifts in an attempt to curry favor with this future top scholar.

right! That must be it.

On the other hand, the fat man saw that so many county magistrates gave her gifts, and he didn't dare to make trouble anymore. At the same time, she felt in awe. She was just a butcher, and he couldn't control her even if he married a woman like her.

Now I just hope she will let me, her little minion, go and stop holding on to me.

Yun Zhenzhen didn't want to argue with him and invited everyone to come in and visit, leaving Old Lady Yun aside.

Yun Jing called her out to the courtyard: "Grandma, I'm doing really well here. Also, I'm going to tell you seriously one last time, please don't interfere in my aunt's marriage anymore. If you don't listen, I will hand over all my power over marriage to my aunt."

Then, he pulled out a purse from his sleeve and handed it over: "Grandma, this is the wages that my aunt gave me recently. There are more than three taels of silver in total. Take it back and return it to that man and tell him not to come here again."

How could that be? This was her eldest grandson's private money. Old Lady Yun quickly stuffed the purse into his arms and said, "Grandma, I don't need your money. Keep it well. Buy anything you like in the future. Now that you've said that, Grandma won't force you. You still have to study hard here. There are so many children in his family. If you can avoid working, don't bother..."

She looked at Wang Ze who was enjoying his meal in the yard and said, "I heard that the son of a county magistrate often comes to your house. This is also an opportunity. You should make good friends with him so that your official career will be smoother in the future."

Originally she was determined to bring her grandson back, but when she saw how much the county magistrate thought highly of the little prostitute, she changed her mind.

The gifts sent by so many people alone are a level that her Yun family will never be able to achieve in this lifetime. Having Jing'er stay here will also be helpful to him in the future.

I can't block my eldest grandson's career.

"Got it. Grandma will listen to you. I'll be back soon. You must study hard here. If you need anything, come back or send someone to bring a message and I'll deliver it to you. Take good care of yourself and don't overwork yourself..."

Old Lady Yun touched Yun Jing's hand and looked him up and down, then said a lot of reluctant words before leaving Qinjia Village.

After walking a few steps, she suddenly slapped her head in annoyance. Her own daughter was having a wedding banquet at home, so she should bring some food home. She could smell a strong aroma of meat outside the yard just now.

She wanted to go back, but was afraid of being scolded. Besides, she didn't want Jing Ge'er to lose face, after all, there was a young official sitting inside.

Finally, he sighed and left reluctantly.

Watching Old Lady Yun's back gradually disappear on the main road at the entrance of the village, Yun Jing finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Every time something happened at my aunt's house, grandma would come over and make a big fuss. He felt really ashamed, so he pushed the door open and walked in. Looking at Yun Zhenzhen, his eyes were full of apology.

"Aunt, I'm sorry. It's all because of me that Grandma..."

"What are you talking about, silly child?" Yun Zhenzhen interrupted him with a smile: "Whether you are here or not, your grandma has to come to me to make trouble, right? It's not like you don't know her well."

"Kid, you always like to take responsibility for irrelevant things. This is not a good habit. Go eat quickly, otherwise it will be cold soon."

Several other familiar aunts gathered around and said, "Sister Yun, you are famous now. No one in the surrounding villages has such an honor as you. Even the county magistrate sent a gift to celebrate the new house."

"That's right, it's not just our county magistrate. Didn't you hear that several other counties have also sent gifts? My God, his reputation has spread beyond the county."

"Oh my God, do you think County Magistrate Lu has taken a fancy to Miss Yun? He gave the most lavish gift."

"You know what? It's really possible. Sister Yun is young and capable. Isn't it natural for others to be attracted to her?"
