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

Old Lady Yun’s home.

Old Lady Yun sat in the middle of the main hall and waved her hand casually: "Okay, it's okay if he doesn't go to your place to study. Then your aunt will pay for your cousin's studies. After all, pens, ink, paper, and inkstones are expensive, and we really can't afford it alone."

As she spoke, the old lady began to count on her fingers, as if she was calculating the amount of money.

"Grandma, please don't give up. Why should I pay for my cousin's education?" Yun Jing took a deep breath. "Besides, there are so many people in the village helping us. All my money has to be used to pay the workers. There is nothing left."

Old Lady Yun screamed, "No more? Did she spend all that money on her business? I heard that she can now call on dozens of people to help out in that shabby place. She must be making a lot of money. What a spendthrift old woman! She can't keep the money. I should be in charge of it."

"What an ungrateful person! She hired so many people for business but never offered to help her family. She didn't even bother giving us all the money. If she wanted to help, she should at least ask her own family for help. Look at what kind of people she found..."

Yun Jing suppressed his anger and said, "Grandma, you guys should pay for your cousin's education yourselves. You can't ask my aunt for it. I have to study hard over there for next year's college entrance examination. Don't come here and cause trouble, otherwise don't blame me for being angry."

After saying that, he took out the purse from his pocket and handed it over: "This is the money I saved from working as a helper these days. You can use it first. Don't go to my aunt to cause trouble."

After saying that, Yun Jing walked out.

Old Lady Yun didn't want his money, but when she looked up, she only saw Yun Jing's back.

Brother Yun and Sister Yun, who had listened to the entire conversation, were a little angry and laughed: "Don't we already know what's going on with that kid Deng Deng? He's got a natural talent for being sneaky and cunning. If he really went to study with a strict teacher, he'd definitely make a scene."

Brother Yun felt a little helpless, but he had to admit that what his wife said was indeed the truth.

……

As soon as Yun Jing returned home, he told Yun Zhenzhen everything why his grandmother had asked him to go back.

Xiao Nan said naively, "Cousin, you rejected them, so why did you keep all your money? That's the money you saved for a long time."

Yun Zhenzhen patted her head. "Although his grandma's request is a little unreasonable, she is the one who raised him since he was a child. When there is something going on at home, it is only natural for your cousin to contribute, right? You should never forget your roots. Your cousin is doing the right thing."

"Oh, I get it then~" Xiao Nan nodded tactfully, "Then from now on, I'll give all the money I earn to Mom for safekeeping, and then Mom will give me pocket money."

Yun Zhenzhen touched her head lovingly.

It was already completely dark at this time. Yun Zhenzhen looked at the free family members and decided to wash the hair of the children in the family.

In the past, when conditions were poor, she could only make do with rice water or wood ash. Now that she has made money from her business, she specially bought several soap beans in the town.

Xiaonan was the first to have her hair washed. She was the youngest child in the family and because she always had trouble washing her hair, Yun Zhenzhen washed her hair the most times.

After washing, the next one is the boss.

Qin Li walked over with a flattered look on his face. The last time his mother washed his hair had been a month ago, and he missed that feeling very much.

Yun Zhenzhen untied his hairband and said gently, "You travel a lot, so it's not easy for you to wash your hair. When I saw you come back a few days ago, I only washed it briefly, and your scalp must not have been cleaned thoroughly. It's just right that I can give you a good scrub today."

Qin Li coughed twice unnaturally, not daring to say that he didn't even use soap nuts when he washed last time.

He immediately changed the subject: "Mom, we still have a lot of things to buy when we went to town last time. When is a convenient time for you, we can go back and get everything ready."

"Okay, wait a couple of days and I'll see if there's anything missing at home." Yun Zhenzhen carefully rubbed his hair.

Awen came over and said, "Mom, I got first place in the exam again two days ago."

"My Awen is awesome!" Yun Zhenzhen said with a smile, "I told you before that any child who gets first place in an exam can come to me and wish for a reward. You can think about it now."

Awen stood up and began to think seriously.

Wang Ze walked over and pushed him away without leaving a trace: "Awen, think about it first, it will be my turn next."

Wang Ze squatted obediently in front of Yun Zhenzhen like a good student, waiting for her favor.

Yun Zhenzhen: “…”

Aren’t you washing your child’s hair? Why is there suddenly another one?

The next second, looking up and meeting Wang Ze's expectant gaze, Yun Zhenzhen couldn't say the words of refusal. This young master didn't feel bored staying in the countryside every day, and washing his hair was not a big deal.

She dried the eldest brother's hair, and then said, "Come and lie down. I'll wash you too."

Wang Ze immediately stood up and lay down on the chair. He even thoughtfully untied his hair himself: "I just washed my hair two days ago. It's not as smelly as his."

Qin Li waved his fist behind him. What did he mean? Did his hair smell bad just now?

Forget it. I'm at home every day now, so I'll wash my hair more frequently in the future, otherwise it would be bad to leave an impression of being untidy in my mother's mind.

After Yun Zhenzhen washed the children's hair, she wanted to pack up. When she looked up, she saw Lai Fu in the corner staring at her excitedly.

Forget it, washing three is washing, washing a bunch is also washing.

She said helplessly: "Laifu, come here and let me wash your hair too, just by the way."

Lai Fu immediately came over happily, dancing with excitement. He could even have Madam Yun wash his hair herself. How happy he was!

After everyone had finished washing, Yun Jing came over from the school after reciting his lessons and happened to see this scene.

Yun Zhenzhen: “…”

Without Yun Zhenzhen's greeting, Yun Jing naturally put down his things, walked out of the house and lay down on the chair.

This time they finally finished washing. Yun Zhenzhen was so tired that her back and waist ached, especially her hands, which had been soaked in water for a long time and were now a little white.

After they had packed up, the family gathered around the fire and started chatting. Yun Zhenzhen started talking about Journey to the West, which she had not finished telling before.

Several children gathered together and listened with great interest. They even took a basket of potatoes and threw them into the fire, roasting them while listening.

The evening passed quickly.

After washing up, everyone lies down on the bed and prepares to sleep. Now at home, some are studying, some are practicing martial arts, and some are busy with business. Everyone has their own things to do.

Everything is developing in an orderly manner and in a good direction.
