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

Yun Zhenzhen was no stranger to this person, and the children of the Yun family also knew him.

She stepped forward and politely bowed, "Brother Yamen officer, it's our family that reported the incident to the police. A thief broke in last night and stole my cash box."

The leading yamen runner originally spoke in an official tone, but when he saw it was Yun Zhenzhen, his brows relaxed and a smile appeared on his face: "So this is Madam Yun's family."

He had followed the county magistrate to Qinjia Village several times before, and had seen the attitudes of the magistrates towards this lady. He could not afford to offend this lady.

"Since your house was robbed, we must investigate thoroughly." After saying this, he turned around to look at the young yamen runner behind him and his tone returned to seriousness: "You, hurry up and investigate thoroughly. Make sure you find out what happened last night."

The people behind him received orders and entered the bridal chamber.

A group of people were left standing outside the yard, looking at each other, wondering how things had become so serious.

In this era, family relationships are very important. Generally, if there is any problem, you can just find the clan leader or village chief and talk to make peace. Few people will go to the police to report the problem.

Reporting to the police means making a big deal out of it.

Taking advantage of this time, Old Lady Yun pulled Second Brother Yun aside to ask him if he was hiding anything from her.

About half a cup of tea later, the young yamen runner inspected the new house and searched for footprints on the wall. He came out and reported, "Boss, I checked inside and out, and it's really a burglary. I saw two footprints in the corner of the backyard wall. They should be those of an adult and a child."

The adults and children just happened to face off against Yun Erge and Yun Dengdeng.

For a moment, everyone looked at the Yun family with strange eyes.

Second Brother Yun took two steps back and muttered, "That doesn't mean anything. Maybe the people in Chen Village don't like you, so they took advantage of you not paying attention to steal your things."

"Boss, we followed the footprints all the way and found something that matches the footprints on the wall completely." Another yamen runner came over holding a shoe.

Second Brother Yun's face changed drastically. He was badly beaten yesterday and lost one of his shoes while struggling. He didn't dare go back to look for it because the situation was urgent. He thought of going to check again today, but who knew that they had found it.

"Many people wear these shoes. Who doesn't have shoes at home?" Brother Yun continued to be stubborn.

The leading yamen runner, Zhu, said coldly, "Shoes come in pairs. Now we just need to go to the suspect's house and search for the other one, and we can basically convict him."

He looked at Yun Zhenzhen, then at the several yamen runners who were eager to try, took a few steps back, turned around and ran.

"Catch him." Zhu, the yamen runner, shouted immediately.

They didn't have to do anything. Before Second Brother Yun could run two steps, Ning Shan pushed him to the ground.

"Who is the owner of the other footprint..." Zhu, the yamen runner, set his eyes on Yun Dengdeng.

"No... I didn't want to steal anything. My dad asked us to come here together." The child had never seen such a big scene before. He was so scared that he stood there in a daze, not daring to run. He told everything he knew.

Zhu, the yamen runner, showed no mercy and directly forced the father and son onto a carriage, preparing to send them to Yunding County.

"Son!"

"The boss!"

The moment Second Brother Yun was arrested, Old Lady Yun and Second Sister-in-law Yun panicked. They rushed over to hold him back, but they didn't dare to get too close. They could only follow him from a distance and call out.

When the two were taken into the carriage and drove farther and farther away, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law could only fall to the ground crying.

"Grandma, please get up." Yun Jing walked over and helped Old Lady Yun up.

At this moment, Old Lady Yun seemed to have found a savior: "Brother Jing, you must have a way to rescue your uncle, right? He didn't do it on purpose, he knows he was wrong. Can you please ask the adults to release them?"

Just now, she pulled Second Brother Yun aside and asked him some questions, and only then did she know the truth of last night. She felt regretful in her heart, wondering why she didn't ask clearly before sitting here to cause trouble.

Now, the matter has become so serious that it has alarmed the police.

Yun Ersao stood there in a daze, wanting to say something but stopping herself.

"It's all your fault, Yun Zhenzhen. What right did you have to report them to the police and have them arrested? He's your own brother. You have no conscience. Give my wife back to me."

Old Mrs. Yun also wanted to go over and cause trouble for Yun Zhenzhen, but when she saw her eldest grandson standing in front of her, her anger immediately died down.

Now only Yun Ersao was left, rolling on the ground and throwing a tantrum, demanding an explanation from Yun Zhenzhen.

She was too lazy to pay attention to this family and just asked someone to close the door, letting her scream heartbreakingly outside the house without paying any attention.

Half an hour later, perhaps because she was tired of shouting, or because she saw that Old Lady Yun didn't join in the commotion, Second Sister Yun couldn't move her anymore. She couldn't force her way in, so she could only walk home listlessly, thinking about going back to the village chief to plead for her husband...

The cash box that was lost at home yesterday has been found. There was no other loss. Only half a box of pastries that Xiaonan left in the house was stolen. It should have been taken by Yun Dengdeng, the glutton.

It was just a little food, so Yun Zhenzhen waved her hand nonchalantly, "Hasn't our house been robbed twice? It seems the walls aren't high enough. If Brother Ning hadn't been staying at home, we would have suffered a huge loss this time."

Ning Shan scratched his head a little embarrassedly: "It's my duty. Madam provided me with food and lodging and brought me back home. This is all I can do to help."

She walked around the yard of her new house and suddenly remembered that when she was in elementary school in her previous life, the wall covered with broken glass was a measure to prevent students from climbing out to surf the Internet.

There are no broken glass in this era, but you can use sharp tiles or porcelain pieces.

Just do it.

Yun Zhenzhen simply found two unused small jars at home and smashed them hard on the stone slab.

"Boom..."

The intact little jar broke into a pile of small pieces.

The noise was so loud that it attracted a group of children in the house. They said, "Mom, this jar was originally good. Why did you break it?"

"The wall of our courtyard is not very burglar-proof, so let's add another layer of protection." As she said this, Yun Zhenzhen carefully picked out the sharp broken porcelain pieces from it.

Then he took some mixed soil to reinforce it and prevent the tiles from peeling off. After doing all this, Yun Zhenzhen's palms were covered with tiny scars.

After a simple lunch at noon, everyone in the family got busy.

Yun Zhenzhen sat in the yard and continued drawing, this time it was a diagram of the restaurant's decoration layout.

She drew a sketch yesterday, but Brother Jing saw it and said that some decoration techniques could not be done now, so it had to be modified again.

Nowadays, the first floor is always used as a dining hall, with a dozen wooden tables and the most common benches on the street.

But in Yun Zhenzhen's opinion, this kind of stereotyped layout really has no characteristics. Since she plans to open a restaurant for mid-to-high-end customers, she must put a lot of effort into the environment.

At the entrance, she plans to use a screen to separate the room into a porch, and then place some ornamental objects. If conditions permit, she can also build a fish pond. The ingredients used every day are all fresh and are caught and killed immediately.

Across the screen is the lobby, which can accommodate more than a dozen tables. Each table is separated by screens and green plants to increase privacy and facilitate conversation.

As for the seats, she wanted to change the long bench into a chair with a backrest and put soft cushions on it so that the buttocks would not be frozen in winter and the comfort would be maximized.

The second floor is made into private rooms, with a total of five private rooms, divided into five different styles...
