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

Zhang's eldest sister-in-law put her hands on her hips, pointed at Zhang Miaomiao and said coldly: "My daughter, we have been quite good to you over the years. You should leave home today. The farther away the better. You must not bring trouble to your brother again."

Zhang Miaomiao widened her eyes in disbelief and looked at the eldest son of the Zhang family, hoping that he could help her speak a fair word.

"Miaomiao, your family has raised you for so many years, and logically, we should have done our part." A trace of hesitation flashed across the face of the eldest son of the Zhang family. "But you also know that your brother is our only child. You are really a disaster-bringer. We really can't keep you. You should find a way out for yourself. You are not young anymore. Go out and find a job to support yourself. Just... just pretend that our Zhang family does not have a daughter like you..."

The old lady of the Zhang family looked at her coldly: "I told you that Nuwa was a money-loser, and you let her go out and find a job. I have to charge some interest for raising her for so many years. Tomorrow morning I will take her to the people's place and see how much she can sell for. I will consider it as her repayment for the kindness we have shown you over the years."

"This...this is too much." A neighbor stood up to speak up for her. "After all, this child is your own. She's been working like a slave in your family for so many years. You should have some affection for her. Not only do you ignore such a good girl, but you even want to sell her off. I've never seen a family as cold-blooded as you..."

Old man Zhang said coldly: "If she hadn't grown up to be able to work, our family would have been outgrown her long ago."

"If you are so kind, why not buy her out and fulfill your promise?"

After hearing this, the neighbor no longer dared to speak.

These days, life is difficult for everyone, and feeding another mouth is not an easy thing.

What's more, this child's reputation is really not good. The neighbors have been helping him for so many years and this is the best they can do. If they were asked to take him back, they would never dare to do so.

The woman at home insisted on eating him alive.

Zhang Miaomiao sat on the ground with despair, tears streaming down her face, her innocent eyes filled with despair.

Yun Zhenzhen took a step forward and looked at the Zhang family's eldest brother calmly: "Zhang family, are you sure you want to sell this child?"

Looking at the person who suddenly appeared, the eldest brother of the Zhang family just said coldly: "Yes, this is also a last resort. For the peace of our family, we can only do this. What? If this lady is interested in buying it, we can sell it to you at a low price."

He recognized Yun Zhenzhen as the owner of a newly opened tavern on this street, and he also knew that her business was not very good and she definitely didn't have much money.

"Okay, as you say, I want her." Yun Zhenzhen said calmly: "You name a price, and it will be considered as buying out the relationship between you and her."

She didn't want to say it in such a class-antagonistic way, but now that the times are different, she can only say it this way.

In addition, the tavern has just opened and business is on the rise. She is really too busy to handle the business, so it is understandable to add one more person. What's more, she can't bear to watch such a poor girl being sold.

Since I have encountered it, it wouldn't hurt to give it a hand.

When Zhang's eldest sister-in-law heard someone wanted to buy her, she immediately became excited: "Hey girl, are you sure you want to buy her back? We agreed that there are no returns or exchanges."

Everyone else's eyes also fell on Yun Zhenzhen.

They also sympathized with Miaomiao's situation, but they dared not bring her home. As for the fact that she was unlucky in marriage, they would rather believe it than not. They still feared ghosts and gods in their hearts.

As a modern person, Yun Zhenzhen naturally doesn't care about these things.

She nodded: "I'm sure, just name a price, as long as it's within my affordability."

She means well, but she is not a sucker.

The eldest sister-in-law of the Zhang family rolled her eyes, coughed lightly and said, "These days, marrying a wife requires a dowry of one or two taels of silver. My daughter Miao Miao is pretty and hardworking. If you buy her back, you can not only serve as a servant, but also as a child bride. We will sell her to you for two taels of silver. Isn't that too much?"

"Okay, two taels of silver." Yun Zhenzhen squatted down and helped Zhang Miaomiao up from her feet. "You heard what we just said. Are you willing to sell it to us?"

Zhang Miaomiao had just been crying for a long time on the ground, and now she had finally come to her senses.

She turned to look at her so-called family. Her biological parents didn't care, her grandparents even wanted her to get out as soon as possible, and her brother didn't care at all whether she stayed or went.

There has never been a place for her in this family. After so many years, she should have seen it clearly.

She turned around and knelt on the ground in a daze: "Thank you, Madam, for buying me home. From today on, I am a member of your family. Please give me a name, Madam."

……

Late at night.

Many families have already started turning off the lights and going to bed, while Yun Zhenzhen is preparing to go home with Zhang Miaomiao.

Although she didn't like the master-servant relationship, in order to prevent the Zhang family from sucking her blood in the future, she simply asked them to sign a contract to sell their bodies. Once the Zhang family signed and sealed it, the matter was officially done.

Yun Zhenzhen also followed her wishes and changed her name to Yun Can, following their surname Yun.

The past is dark and cannot be retrieved, but the future is bright and glorious. She recalled a famous line from her past life and hoped that Yuncan's life could bloom again.

After bringing her back to Jiu Si, Erya quickly cooked a bowl of plain noodles for her, knowing that she had not had time to eat all day.

Perhaps because they were of similar age, Erya and Yuncan inevitably felt a sense of mutual sympathy and soon became good sisters.

Seeing her slurping the noodles with big mouthfuls and looking extremely hungry, Yun Zhenzhen couldn't help but feel pity for her.

The tavern is just short of a handyman. I can take over after I help her get familiar with the environment tomorrow. As for other matters, I will arrange them after I discover the girl's strengths.

After the tavern was locked.

Erya pulled Yuncan onto the ox cart and prepared to go home.

"No, no, no, I can just walk home. There's no need to take the ox cart, otherwise you and your wife won't be able to sit comfortably later." Yun Can waved his hands to refuse, fearing that he would upset the hostess.

She had a friend who was also sold by her parents to a wealthy family as a maid. She was often beaten and scolded, and her body was often covered with bruises.

Although the lady seems to be easy to talk to now, she still has to be obedient, otherwise what will she do if they don't want her anymore?

Yun Zhenzhen couldn't help but speak: "This is your first time going home with us. Do you know how to get there? Do you know where you are in the village? It will take at least half an hour to walk home. Do we have to wait for you to come before we can go to bed?"

Yun Can looked conflicted, but she finally climbed up. However, she only dared to sit on a small space for fear of squeezing others.

The carriage slowly moved towards Qinjia Village.
