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

The cockcrow dawns.

This time of day is when farmers get up and prepare to work, but many elderly women may still be drowsy.

Suddenly, a howl was heard outside the door. The Yun family members came crying from the village entrance to the Yun family's house. The two men from the patrol team failed to stop them.

Wow, the whole half of the village was in an uproar.

Those who got up early followed along to watch the fun, and those who were still asleep heard the noise and peeked out with sleepy eyes.

Watching plays is a trait ingrained in the Chinese people.

At first, there were only a few people coming in from the village entrance, but by the time they reached the gate of the new house, they had become a huge group.

"Yun Zhenzhen, you damn ungrateful bastard, that's your own second brother, and you hit him so hard. Do you have any conscience at all? Get out of here..." Old Mrs. Yun stood at the door of the new house, cursing more and more harshly.

Many aunts wanted to help stop it but couldn't.

"Everyone, come and take a look. Give me your judgment." Old Lady Yun grabbed Second Brother Yun and pulled up his clothes. "Look at how he beat my child. His body is covered in bruises. How can they be siblings? They are clearly enemies with a deep hatred."

Second Sister-in-law Yun also stood up crying, holding Yun Dengdeng's hand and saying, "And my poor child, he's still so young, and that cruel person had the heart to kill him. He's her own nephew."

The parties involved, Yun Erge and Yun Dengdeng, both raised their heads, revealing the scars on their faces and their arms and legs covered in scars.

It looks really serious.

Some villagers who didn't know the reason exchanged glances and murmured in their hearts that Sister Yun was indeed good to the villagers, but she was a little cruel to her mother's family.

However, the Yun family has not done anything good. They didn't help us when we were in such a difficult time in the past two years. Who can tell who is right and who is wrong in this?

After all, it is difficult for an honest judge to judge family affairs.

When Yun Zhenzhen came out, she saw Old Lady Yun spitting everywhere outside.

She sneered and walked out while laughing.

Seeing her come out, Old Lady Yun didn't know whether to shout or rest, and the villagers around her also wisely kept their mouths shut.

For a moment, the scene was as quiet as a chicken.

Yun Zhenzhen walked outside, circled around them twice as if she were looking at a pet, then slowly tucked her hair behind her ears before she spoke slowly.

"Why are you crying outside so early in the morning? What's wrong? Is it because something happened to one of my good brothers? Does he need our family's help?"

Old Lady Yun got angry when she heard this: "You're still pretending. Don't you know what happened? How did my son offend you to dislike him so much? Not only did you not interact with him normally, but you also beat them up. Look at what you did to my son and grandson..."

"Oh, you're mistaken." Yun Zhenzhen said calmly, "I didn't hit my good second brother or my good nephew."

"You're still quibbling?" Old Lady Yun was so angry that she almost jumped up. "Now the witnesses and evidence are all here. Are the scars on the two people fake? We are all blind, it's not like we can't see."

"I really didn't hit my second brother and nephew." Yun Zhenzhen emphasized the key words without revealing her feelings. "But when you mentioned hitting people, I remember that two thieves did break into my room last night and stole all the wages I had planned to pay everyone for the past month. Brother Ning couldn't stand it anymore, so he beat them away."

"As for your mention of my second brother and nephew being injured, I'm not sure about that. It must be a coincidence."

Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Yun Zhenzhen was composed, her tone gentle, and even her words were as refreshing as a spring breeze.

Especially after everyone heard that their wages were stolen, they all looked angry. Since the woolen workshop was built, nearly half of the families in the village have been helping Yun Zhenzhen's family, and they all rely on the wages.

Someone immediately stepped forward and asked with concern, "Sister Yun, have you found all the things? That thief was so despicable, how could they let him get away so easily? He should be sent to the government and put in jail."

"That's right. Next time something like this happens, wake us up and make sure he doesn't get off easy."

"How dare he come to our Qinjia Village to steal things? Beat him to death..."

When Old Lady Yun heard this, her eyes rolled around and she screamed, drowning out the voices of others.

"Alright, alright, you've already learned to make up stories now, haven't you? You clearly beat my son, and now you're still making up stories and lying. I don't care. Now I want you to rush them to town for treatment and compensate me with ten taels of silver as medical expenses, otherwise I will never let you go."

Old Lady Yun’s attitude was very tough.

Yun Zhenzhen twirled a handful of hair nonchalantly, her attitude very cold. "Oh, I'd like to know what you're thinking, Old Lady Yun. Are you planning to rob our house again tonight?"

"Don't talk nonsense here. Who stole your things? Do you have evidence? Did you catch them?" Old Lady Yun roared viciously, "Not only did you beat up my son and his friends, but now you're slandering them, Yun Zhenzhen. I'm warning you not to go too far."

Seeing her so confident, Yun Zhenzhen felt a little suspicious. Could it be that she didn't know that Second Brother Yun had come here to steal something last night?

If she knew that she could still be so confident, Yun Zhenzhen would have to admire her acting skills.

Just then, Yun Jing ran back from the school.

From the moment they came in and started causing trouble at Yun Zhenzhen's doorstep, some familiar friends went to the school to inform him. No matter how hard they tried, it was still a little late.

"Grandma, why are you here? Did you have to make such a scene in public about what happened yesterday?"

Yun Jing walked over and took Old Lady Yun's sleeve and spoke. He rarely spoke to her in this tone.

Even when Old Lady Yun came to cause trouble before, Yun Jing always comforted her in a gentle tone and had never been so indifferent.

Old Lady Yun was startled at first, then immediately panicked: "Jing...Jing'er, it's not that Grandma wants to come here to cause trouble today. You saw how your aunt beat your second uncle and the others. And your cousin, the child cried all night after returning home. Grandma is also distressed, so she had to come here to ask for an explanation, right?"

"Grandma," Yun Jing said in a low voice, "Please listen to my advice and take your uncle and the others back quickly."

Old Lady Yun was a little flustered: "What do you mean?"

Then, she looked at Yun Zhenzhen fiercely: "This is your fault in the first place. Shouldn't you pay for it? Now we won't make trouble anymore. Give me ten taels of silver and we'll leave immediately."

Yun Zhenzhen chuckled and shook her head.

"late."

"What do you mean it's late?" Old Mrs. Yun was still a little confused.

But soon, the sound of a galloping carriage interrupted her thoughts.

A group of people turned their heads and saw a carriage parked steadily on the main road, with three or four yamen runners getting off.

"Did your family report it to the authorities?" asked the leading yamen runner.
