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

In Qin Yun's workshop.

Everyone looked at Aunt Ma in bewilderment. Just now, Aunt Yang accused her of stealing.

Yun Zhenzhen smiled and said, "Xiao E, go search my aunt's body."

Seeing this, Aunt Yang laughed triumphantly: "Let me tell you, Sister Yun, I've long noticed that she's not being honest, and I've had quite a few complaints about you before..."

"Hey, that's not right. Why are you searching me? I told you it was Aunt Ma who stole it."

Xiao E went straight to Aunt Yang and started searching her.

"I saw with my own eyes that you were stealing the yarn, and you even tried to tamper with someone else's yarn roll." Aunt Ma looked at her angrily and said, "If you don't believe me, just look at Xiao'e and see for yourself when she searches her body."

Old Mrs. Qin also walked over to help hold down Aunt Yang's struggling arms, and the next moment, a large ball of wool was taken out of her arms.

"Is it really you?" The aunt who was familiar with her was full of disbelief. "Sister Yun pays us a high enough salary, and we can even buy wool at cost price. We're already living a good life, so why did you steal?"

Seeing that all the wool she hadn't been able to take home had been taken out, Aunt Yang simply stopped struggling: "Sister Yun, I was possessed by a ghost. This is just this once. I've never done this before. Can you..."

Aunt Yang's unspoken words came to an abrupt end. Xiao E opposite her took out the goods from the previous two batches, and two of them were obviously shorter.

Obviously, Aunt Yang is a habitual offender.

Yun Zhenzhen looked at her coldly: "Xiao E, settle Aunt Yang's wages for the past few days. The wool she stole will be deducted from her wages according to the price. Aunt Yang, you don't need to come here anymore."

"Everyone, listen carefully. Since this is the first time, I will not ask for additional compensation. If something similar happens again, all wages will be deducted directly."

After she finished speaking, she turned and left without giving Aunt Yang any chance to plead.

She had already given her a chance just now. If she had admitted it, she wouldn't have done such a ruthless thing.

But not only did she not recognize her mistake, but she turned around and slandered others. This was completely problematic, and she would never accept such a person.

The others who stayed there were still in shock. They were envious of such a good thing in their hands, but thinking about how good Yun Zhenzhen was, they restrained themselves in their hearts.

Fortunately, they did not become greedy, otherwise, they would be the ones leaving today. Where else could they find such a good job?

The news that Aunt Yang was driven out of Qin Yun's workshop for stealing spread throughout the village in a short time. For a time, she became a laughing stock in the entire village.

Such a good job was lost just like that.

She didn't even dare to raise her head on the way home. If her family knew she was kicked out, they would definitely scold her to death.

As soon as Aunt Yang left, a position became vacant in the workshop. When many aunts in the village heard the news, they immediately came to Yun Zhenzhen's house.

The first person to come was Mr. Wu’s daughter-in-law, Chen Guihua.

Old Man Wu had borrowed potatoes from Yun Zhenzhen before. His son had gone to the army with Qin Li and his life or death was unknown. Only Chen Guihua and her young son were left at home.

The family could hardly even take care of their own fields, let alone find work to make a living, and their life was extremely miserable.

"Sister Yun, don't look at me because I look thin, but I'm very strong when I work. When I was a girl, I was very good at weaving, but I haven't tinkered with it since I got married."

Chen Guihua said with an embarrassed look on her face: "Don't worry, although my family is a little poor, we are ambitious and will definitely not do anything sneaky."

As she spoke, she smelled the aroma of rice stewing in the kitchen. She had forgotten how long it had been since she had eaten white rice. She was afraid of embarrassing herself in front of others, so she immediately held her breath.

Yun Zhenzhen smiled and asked her, "Can you help me with the housework?"

"Don't worry about that. My father-in-law is at home. The child is not a child anymore and can help with all kinds of chores. I only come here when I can spare the time." Chen Guihua showed a happy smile on her face when she talked about her son.

Although life was hard, fortunately my son was sensible and obedient, and knew how to help the family since he was young.

Yun Zhenzhen nodded and said, "Okay, then Sister Guihua will fill this gap. Come over early tomorrow and Xiao'e and the others will show you around the workshop."

"Good good."

Chen Guihua said goodbye with many thanks.

When the other aunts who came later saw her like this, they knew that their positions were gone and they could only walk home dejectedly.

I'll try to come here sooner next time someone steals something.

Ever since this incident, everyone in the village knew that Yun Zhenzhen was very ruthless. If anyone dared to steal in the workshop, she would definitely drive them out without mercy.

In the end, not only did he not make any money, but he also lost all his face and would never be able to hold his head up in the village again.

The dinner was simple. After it was delivered to Master Yan, the family sat down at the dining table.

Wang Ye, who came during the day, did not come here to eat. I don’t know if he stayed at Chen Xiuxiu’s house. But it has nothing to do with him or her. Anyway, everything that needs to be said has been said.

Because of the fight during the day, Xiao'e and Wanniang stayed here for dinner.

The two of them ate mostly rice at the table and rarely put their chopsticks into the bowls of food, which were either filled with oil or meat, and they were reluctant to eat them.

In the past, we only had two meals a day at home, and it was good enough to have dry brown rice. When there was not enough food, even the wild vegetable porridge was watery.

It got a little better after the autumn harvest. The wild vegetable porridge could be made thicker. I could drink a big bowl of it at one meal, and my stomach would be full immediately. But I would get hungry very quickly. I would often wake up in the middle of the night because of hunger, and my whole body would have stomachaches.

Now, not only can I have enough to eat every day, but I can also get such a high salary, which is something I could never have imagined in my dreams.

After dinner, Xiao'e and Wanniang spontaneously went to the workshop to keep an eye on it, trying to be the first to arrive and the last to go home every day, so that they could be worthy of the wages they received.

After dinner, the others began to pack up their things spontaneously. At this moment, there was a sudden knock on the door.

It’s Mrs. Qin coming.

She walked in briskly, looking very majestic.

She was originally a strong-willed old lady, and recently she has been very busy managing the workers in the woolen workshop. Over time, she has begun to exude a unique temperament.

The old lady walked in and said carefully, "Old Third Wife, have you forgotten something recently?"

Yun Zhenzhen was still a little confused.

Old Lady Qin continued, "You know, the aunties in our village aren't very well off. They come to work for you every day and don't do anything in the fields. So, you have to..."

After hearing this, Yun Zhenzhen slapped her head and said, "Oh, the hero's wages haven't been paid yet."

I was planning to calculate everyone's work status this month this morning, but I was delayed by Aunt Yang's matter and actually forgot about it.

I have never been responsible for such a comprehensive matter in my two lifetimes, so there will always be some omissions, especially now that the wool workshop has just started and many aspects are still imperfect.

In particular, each aunt comes at a different time. Some come at the very beginning, some come halfway through, and some make better products and produce more blankets... All these data must be calculated one by one before the wages can be paid to everyone.

The first aunties who came here have been working for almost a month now, and it seems that some of them haven't even received a penny...

Yun Zhenzhen couldn't help but facepalm. "I actually forgot the most important thing. Thanks to my mother for reminding me again. How about this, you come over tomorrow morning, and we'll calculate everything for this month together, and then we'll pay everyone a lump sum."

"Okay." Old Lady Qin agreed readily. "It just so happens that I have some information about their performance. I'll keep a record of who did well and who did poorly."
