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

"bracelet!?"

Old Mrs. Yun subconsciously touched her wrist, and there was nothing on it.

I tricked my little daughter into giving me the betrothal token. It looked so beautiful when she wore it, but she went crazy and snatched it back. Now it’s suddenly gone, and I’m not used to it.

Old Mrs. Yun thought again about the big house that Yun Zhenzhen’s family had just built. It was so beautiful and so big, but she hadn’t asked her to live there for a while.

After all, I am her biological mother.

But thinking of Jing'er's advice, she sighed: "Forget it, there's nothing we can do about this ungrateful person who doesn't know how to be filial. But Jing'er is staying well over there. He has to take the exam next year. I can't cause trouble for him. Just let him be quiet."

After saying that, Old Lady Yun ignored the couple's attempts to dissuade her and went back to her room.

Seeing that Old Lady Yun had left, Second Sister-in-law Yun glared at him and immediately reached out and twisted his leg hard.

Second Brother Yun gasped in pain.

"Wife... Wife, don't worry. If she doesn't send it to us, can't we just go get it ourselves?"

"You're saying that." Second Sister Yun snorted coldly, "She doesn't even recognize your mother now, so you can take it if you want."

"Oh, if open means don't work, try covertly..."

……

Early the next morning.

Just as it was getting light, the carpenter in town delivered the things that Yun Zhenzhen had ordered.

There were a lot of cabinets and a set of tables, chairs and benches. It took two large ox carts to deliver these things.

After the items were delivered, the young man began to direct the workers to help load and unload the furniture. The cabinets made in this era did not use glue, but relied entirely on the mortise and tenon structure between the wood.

In order to facilitate transportation and save manpower and material resources, carpenters generally choose to bring the parts and assemble them on site.

Although there were a lot of things, they were not big items. The carpenter and his men finished all the work in just one hour.

After paying the bill and receiving the remaining change, he watched the carpenter leave in an ox cart.

Just as I was about to turn around and go back into the house to pack up and put the clothes on the chair into the closet, I saw a carriage driving towards my door.

Looking at the familiar sign, Yun Zhenzhen greeted them with a smile.

Zhang Ronger got off the carriage with a smile on her face.

Some time ago, Yun Zhenzhen sent warm items such as blankets and cloaks to stores in several other states for sale.

Because the economies of other states were better, she raised the prices a bit. The most expensive patterned blanket was sold for five taels of silver each, and was packaged in the most beautiful boxes. Even so, they were all sold out in less than two days after being put in the shop. This time, she could be said to have made a lot of money.

So, she rushed to Qinjia Village again, wanting to ask if the progress of the blanket could be sped up. After all, after this period of time, when the weather warms up, it will not be able to be sold at such a good price.

"Sister Rong'er, you are a rare guest. Please come in and sit down."

Yun Zhenzhen hurriedly welcomed the person in and asked Erya to go to the kitchen to serve tea.

After Zhang Rong'er sat down, she smiled and said, "Sister Yun, the quality of your blankets is truly amazing. I've sent them to Qingzhou to sell, and they're incredibly popular. The main reason I came here is to ask if you could speed up the process and produce a few more blankets at once."

"Of course, I really need gloves and hats. I'll take as many as you have."

Yun Zhenzhen thought about it. There are nearly thirty workers in the workshop now. If she wants to speed up the progress, she will have to recruit more people. But this thing cannot be learned in a day or two. It will be troublesome to find a novice, but there is a way.

After thinking for a while, she nodded solemnly: "Okay, then let's keep the delivery time the same. I can think of a way to double the production."

"Is the delivery still required seven days this time? Can it be delivered earlier?" Zhang Ronger was a little anxious.

After all, the market in Qingzhou had just opened, and many people were waiting to buy. If he took the more than 100 blankets he had just received in the past two days to the shop, they would definitely be sold out immediately. If he waited seven days to get the goods, it would be too late.

"I'm afraid we can't do this yet. We have to wait until the manpower and technology are mature enough to increase production. In about seven days, the next time you come to pick up the goods, you can come every three days."

"Okay." Zhang Ronger had no choice but to nod.

After all, this thing is in short supply and valuable now, so it doesn't hurt to wait a little longer.

After she paid the next deposit, she took the pick-up slip given by Yun Zhenzhen and left.

Afterwards, Yun Zhenzhen asked Erya to call Old Lady Qin over.

"What's the matter, Third Brother's wife? Why are you in such a hurry that you asked Erya to call me over? Is there something urgent?" Old Mrs. Qin said while panting.

"Mom, we said before that we would expand the factory but not recruit more workers, but now the situation has changed. I'm afraid we have to hire more people and double the staff." Yun Zhenzhen smiled and poured her another cup of tea.

"I'm too busy here right now. Besides, I don't know the character of the aunties in the village. I'll have to trouble you to help find someone."

"That's no problem." Old Lady Qin smiled and waved her hands. "You don't know how many people are jealous of the work in the workshop right now. There are so many people vying for the job. As long as the person has good character, I will recruit him for you..."

"No!" Yun Zhenzhen shook her head. "We don't have enough time to recruit anyone who doesn't know how to do it. You have to choose someone with a basic embroidery foundation from these aunts. That way, they can learn quickly. Come closer and I'll explain it to you in detail."

……

"What competition!?"

There was now a large group of aunts gathered at the door of the old house, all listening to what Old Lady Qin, who was standing in front, was saying.

"The wool workshop is now recruiting again and has specially held a competition. Not only can those who pass the competition receive rewards, but they can also officially start working in the wool workshop and receive the same salary. Everyone should actively participate."

As soon as he finished speaking, many aunts came up to ask questions.

"Aunt Qin, does this mean that if I pass the competition, I can get a job in my sister's workshop and earn twenty cents a day?"

"And can I get rewards by competing?"

"There are so many aunts in the village, and there must be a lot of people participating. How many people will pass by then?"

"Everyone, be quiet." Old Lady Qin spoke loudly. A group of aunts were chattering in her ears, and her old ears were almost deafened.

"My third son's wife said that this competition is open to all villagers. In the end, we will admit the top 30 people to the workshop, and each of the top 100 people will receive a reward of ten cents."

Standing below, everyone gasped.

Not only can you enter the workshop, but one hundred people can also get ten cents. This is great. There are only a few aunts in the village who can embroider. If you recruit thirty people, everyone has great hope.

"Aunt Qin, I'm signing up!"

"Grandma Qin, I'm going too..."

"And me, and me..."

"..."
