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

Yun Zhenzhen's home.

Everyone gathered together, chatting and laughing, eating buns with big mouthfuls, and rolling out dough quickly with their hands. The atmosphere was very harmonious.

"Sister Yun..." Xu Linger walked over to Yun Zhenzhen and sat down. "It's all because of me that my uncle came here to cause trouble, and because of it, Brother Qin Li was injured. When my father comes back, he will apologize to you in person. Now that my uncle has been arrested by the county magistrate, he probably won't come here to cause trouble again..."

"Xu Dahai might learn his lesson after suffering a loss at my hands this time, but he'll inevitably hold a grudge. Besides, he wasn't the one who injured anyone today. As long as he lets his men take the blame and donates some money, the matter will be over. I'm afraid it won't have a big impact on him. You still have to think about what you're going to do next. Should you continue to wait for your father to come back?"

"I...shouldn't I stay in Qinjia Village any longer? I've implicated so many people this time, and I feel bad."

Xu Ling'er lowered her head in guilt: "This was originally my own business, but I've implicated everyone else. I'm really sorry. Maybe I should go back..."

"Just live here peacefully for now. No one thinks you're causing any trouble for us." Yun Zhenzhen stroked her shoulder. "It just so happens that the restaurant in town will open soon. If you feel uncomfortable living in Qinjia Village, you can come with us to town for a while. We can also find out more about the situation."

Xu Ling'er's tears flowed without a trace.

Having said that, she still didn't dare to leave alone, but she also knew that she couldn't implicate others.

Today, Xu Dahai came here in person and happened to encounter the imperial edict. But if there was no imperial edict, he would have brought so many people with him, and many people in Qinjia Village would have been injured... No, Qin Li Ge was already injured. If they were closer at that time, Qin Li Ge's arm might have been crippled... She didn't dare to stay here any longer and let everyone accompany her on the adventure.

"Ling'er, it's okay..." Yun Zhenzhen hugged her in panic: "We will go to the town in a few days. You can also learn to manage the restaurant. As long as you stand up on your own, no one will bully you anymore."

"Sister Yun..."

Xu Ling'er broke down and cried in her arms.

The aunts who were busy making dumplings in the yard also quieted down.

Because they were too excited about the imperial edict today, they all overlooked one thing, that is, the little girl who had been living in Yun Zhenzhen's house was actually the eldest daughter of the Xu family, the richest family in Yunding County.

No wonder this little girl looks so delicate and tender, she is different from the girls in the village. I didn’t expect that she is actually a lady from a wealthy family.

Although they envied her for being the eldest daughter of the Xu family, after what happened today, they also sympathized with Xu Ling'er's situation.

Rich families have a lot of money, but also a lot of dirty things. The people in their village are honest. If they are unhappy with someone, they will just curse or fight, but they will never kill anyone.

Aunt Wang came over curiously and asked Aunt Yang, "The Wang family that Bu Ya married into is also a wealthy family, right? I heard there are a lot of women in the backyard. Are these women always trying to harm me and me?"

Aunt Yang curled her lips unnaturally: "This young master Wang only has two or three concubines, it's not that complicated, don't make random guesses here."

As she spoke, she continued to change the subject: "Didn't that girl from the Chen family, Chen Xiuxiu, try to seduce Young Master Wang? What happened? Did they give an explanation in the end?"

"Oh, don't mention it. Later, that Mrs. Chen went to the town and made a big fuss. In the end, she was sent away with fifty taels of silver and even married off. It was really wishful thinking. Her innocence was lost for no reason." An aunt who knew the inside story whispered.

Aunt Yang snorted, "Yeah, you think everyone can be as rich and noble as my niece, and can successfully marry into a wealthy family. Maybe when Young Master Wang passes the imperial examination, he will become the wife of an official. That's something we will never see in our lifetime."

"Oh..." Yun Duo's little head leaned forward and said, "My sister Yun is now a legitimate seventh-rank Anren. She doesn't even need us to kneel down. This is better than your niece marrying someone else as a concubine."

"That's right." Chen came over and interrupted, "My third brother's wife is much more powerful than your niece. She's a lady of the imperial court appointed by the emperor himself. She's no more powerful than a concubine. And you're still showing off. Why don't you find a way to curry favor with her..."

Chen called her "third brother's wife" affectionately, leaving everyone speechless.

In the past, everyone in the village knew that she often spoke ill of Yun Mei Zi and often picked on her.

Now that he sees that others have become rich, his attitude has changed immediately, and everyone doesn't know what to say.

However, Old Lady Qin was content. She took the opportunity to criticize him: "It's enough to know that your third sister-in-law is capable and kind to us. It shows that you are not stupid to the core. In the future, you must remember her kindness and stop thinking about those miscellaneous things. If you dare to do anything that is not conducive to the development of the big family, get out of our Qin family. In the future, these honors and the number of children will have nothing to do with you..."

"Do you understand?"

"Oh, I see, mother." Chen smiled shyly and put her arm around Old Lady Qin's arm affectionately. "I wasn't sensible before, but I will definitely be obedient in the future and work hard to earn money to buy nice things for you two elders."

"..."

A group of aunts were busy in the yard, chatting and talking non-stop.

It quickly became dark. Usually at this time, most villagers would be ready to rest. After all, once it gets dark, they have to light lights at home, which is a considerable expense.

Therefore, many families will light a fire and cook before dawn, clean up things, and go to bed after dark.

But at this moment, all the villagers were in high spirits. They gathered in groups of three or five around Yun Zhenzhen's yard to talk. They were all very excited and had no intention of going home.

There was a bonfire lit in the yard, and it was crowded with people. Many of those who couldn't get in gathered around the yard, talking and laughing.

Taking this opportunity, Yun Zhenzhen also told others that her family had opened a shop in town and needed help.

"I'm sure everyone has heard a little bit recently. My family bought a shop in town and plans to sell food. Before we open it, I would like to ask for a favor."

She smiled at everyone and said, "Because business definitely requires a lot of firewood, I think it's better to keep the money within the family, so I'll give this job to someone in our village. After the store opens, we'll need a lot of firewood. You can go to the mountains to chop firewood, or if you have extra at home, you can send it over directly. I'll charge five cents per bundle, and I'll pay you on the spot after I deliver it to town."

When the whole village heard this, they all looked happy.
