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

Old Lady Qin suddenly became alert and patted Chen's shoulder, saying, "You are smart for once. I've made you understand everything."

"Yes, mother, you also think I'm right." It was the first time that Chen was praised by Old Lady Qin like this, and she couldn't help feeling a little proud: "In my opinion, this girl can't do any work at all. She can't even carry a bucket of water. She can't even compare to my eldest daughter. My eldest daughter is very strong. If she comes here..."

Halfway through, Old Lady Qin's eyes widened and she twisted Chen's ear: "You shameless thing, how dare you have such thoughts? If something like this happened in our Qin family, I would immediately let the second son divorce you. You are really bringing shame to our ancestors..."

Chen was beaten so hard that she looked dazed.

She just felt that Xu Ling'er couldn't do the work, so it would be better to let her own eldest daughter come to help. She would definitely be much more capable than that delicate and tender girl. How could she be so embarrassed over such a small matter?

She even wants Qin Shouyi to divorce her. Is it that serious?

Just as Chen was about to defend herself, she saw Old Lady Qin walking away angrily.

"Mom, you came at the right time. I made a dish of stewed potatoes and pork ribs today. How does it taste?" Yun Zhenzhen picked out a piece of soft and glutinous potato and pork ribs and handed it over.

As soon as Old Lady Qin opened her mouth, Yun Zhenzhen stuffed the pork ribs and potatoes into her mouth.

The whole family is very happy to move into a new house these days. Yesterday, because there were so many people, the meal was not very sumptuous, so Yun Zhenzhen was a bit extravagant today. She not only made braised pork, but also stewed potatoes with pork ribs.

As the ribs entered her mouth, the aroma of meat spread instantly, with the fragrance of potatoes. Old Mrs. Qin didn't bother to make fun of her second son's wife. She chewed the ribs slowly and swallowed them, and her mouth was still full of the aftertaste.

She was furious just now, but now she has calmed down.

She softened her tone and then spoke, "Old Third Wife, why does your little girl Xu Linger live in your house every day? After all, she is an innocent girl. Isn't it inconvenient to have so many boys at home every day?"

Xu Ling'er has been living at home for a while. Old Lady Qin had met her several times but never asked anything. Now she suddenly came to ask, probably because she knew something.

She didn't hide it and said softly, "This girl is the one we rescued when we went to the county. Her family is occupied by someone else, and her father won't come to pick her up for a month. Don't worry, the children in the family get along well with her, and they usually pay attention to the separation of men and women, so nothing will happen."

After hearing her explanation, Old Lady Qin felt relieved.

I don’t know when it started, but she would unconditionally believe everything her, the third daughter-in-law, said.

"Okay, you know more about these things than I do, and I believe you can handle it." Old Lady Qin walked over with a smile: "Your pork ribs and potatoes are delicious, but they are not yet fully flavored. I will control the heat and they will be ready to serve soon."

In another pot, Yun Zhenzhen was preparing to make sauerkraut fish soup.

The fish she bought in town had been cut into fillets and marinated in advance. She did not waste the fish head and bones and marinated them together in a basin.

After preparing the ingredients, heat oil in a pan over high heat. First put the fish head and bones into the pan, and slowly fry until both sides are golden brown. Then add onions, ginger, garlic and pickled mustard greens. They don’t have the habit of pickling sauerkraut at home, so they can only use vinegar instead.

After stir-frying for a while, the aroma of fish began to waft out.

"Mom, this fish smells so good." Xiao Nan stood by with a greedy look on his face.

It had been so long since she traveled through time, but she still hadn't had the chance to cook fish for the children. Just today, she happened to come across a fishmonger in town and bought the biggest one.

The pickled mustard greens in the pot have been fried until they change color slightly, then pour boiling hot water into it, just enough to cover the fish and side dishes.

Old Mrs. Qin quickly stuffed two pieces of firewood into the other stove hole and quickly boiled the fish soup in the pot. After a while, the fish soup gradually turned into an attractive milky white color.

After Yun Zhenzhen cleaned the bamboo colander that Old Man Qin had given her, she fished out the fish bones and dried fish in the pot and put them into a large bowl.

Then put the freshly marinated fish fillets into the pot and slowly turn them over. When the water boils, the fish fillets will be cooked into their shape.

Yun Zhenzhen stirred it gently a few times, and seeing that the fish fillets in the pot were cooked, she took them out and poured them into the bowl of fish bones and vegetables.

Sprinkle dried chili segments on top, heat oil in a pan, and when it smokes slightly, scoop out the oil and pour it on top.

stab-

The aroma of chili and garlic was instantly stimulated, mixed with the fresh fragrance of fish, and spread throughout the kitchen.

Old Mrs. Qin swallowed unconsciously. She had lived for decades and had eaten fish before, but this was the first time she saw it cooked this way.

So fragrant!

Old Man Qin and his companions outside the yard couldn't help but look towards the kitchen. They had eaten fish several times in previous years, but why hadn't it ever been so fragrant?

Xu Ling'er's eyes were also full of confusion. She was helping in the kitchen, and Yun Zhenzhen was making pickled fish in front of her. She was confused at first, and now she was stunned.

Is this really the taste that can be made in a village?

She never ate fish at home before because she thought it had a fishy smell. It turned out that she was not cooking it correctly.

Yun Zhenzhen wiped her hands and shouted outside, "Get ready to wash your hands and eat!"

Several children ran in and lined up to bring the prepared food to the table.

There is a big table in the new house, plus the small table in the previous house, which is just enough for people to sit on. The children can't sit still, so they pick up food in their bowls and run around with the bowls to eat.

Yun Zhenzhen even bought some wine on purpose, but because there were too many people yesterday, she didn't bring out any more because she was afraid there wouldn't be enough to drink.

The old man pulled his two sons to sit at the table, took a sip of wine, and picked up some food with chopsticks from time to time.

This little life is so comfortable.

After seeing off the people from the old house, Yun Zhenzhen walked into the house and began to decorate the new home.

Before this, they went to town to buy a lot of sheets and quilt covers and put them in boxes. Now they took them out and put them in every room.

Now every room in the house has a bed, a table, and a wardrobe. If there are other needs, we can add more later.

Yun Zhenzhen finally found time to decorate his room. Half of the room was occupied by a bed made of earthen kang. There were several layers of mattresses on the kang, and then sheets were spread on top to lie on. Although it was not as comfortable as modern cotton mattresses, it was not bad either.

The walls of the yellow room are made of adobe, which is a mixture of yellow mud and rice husks, and then smoothed with lime powder, making it look clean and tidy.

There was also a porcelain jar on the table in the room, with a few bunches of small flowers from outside the yard in it, which made the whole room look clean and elegant.

Yun Zhenzhen breathed a sigh of relief. After traveling here for so long, she finally had her own private space and no longer had to be squeezed around at night.

From now on, their lives will definitely get better and better.
