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

After finishing the meal, Qin Wen stood up and washed the dishes. The orange sunlight shone into the yard, making the time seem peaceful.

Yun Zhenzhen sat in the main seat and said calmly, "In the past, everything good in our family was taken away by the Yun family. It was because I didn't compete with them that you suffered."

As soon as she said this, the two little ones looked up in surprise, but their eyes revealed deep distrust.

"I always thought they were my mother's family, but this time when I went back to borrow grain, I finally saw their true colors. Over the years, how much money have they given to the Yun family?"

"Since she doesn't care whether we live or die, I will not have anything to do with them from now on."

After saying that, she lowered her head, her long eyelashes covering her eyelids, making it impossible to tell her emotions.

The two siblings looked at each other, their eyes full of surprise and suspicion. It was no wonder that they didn't believe it. In the past, the original body had been kind to them from time to time and said that he wanted to live a good life, but he always showed his true colors within a few days.

Yun Zhenzhen sighed, knowing that it would take more than a moment to change their minds.

"I'm going to the mountain to find some food. You guys stay home and don't run around."

Yun Zhenzhen took the only backpack in the family, which contained some hemp ropes, a hatchet, a sickle and two flints. After all, they were going deeper into Mangshan this time, so they had to bring enough things.

Qin Wen and Qin Nan both stared at her back in amazement, disbelief welling up in their eyes.

Is the stepmother willing to go up the mountain to find food now? In the past, when the eldest brother mentioned that they could go hunting in the mountains, she was unwilling to go, thinking that the mountains were full of dangers, and instead scolded the eldest brother.

Has the stepmother really changed?

Qin Wen couldn't believe it. He thought it was another new trick devised by his stepmother.

Qin Nan was thinking about what delicious food his stepmother could bring back. Being too young to think about that, he just felt that his stepmother had been very good to him these past two days.

After Yun Zhenzhen went out, she walked towards the mountains. Standing at the foot of the mountain, she looked up at the huge mountains, tightened the backpack on her shoulders, and couldn't help feeling a little melancholy.

The road into the mountains was not easy to walk on. Yun Zhenzhen had been mentally prepared for a long time, but when she actually set out, she realized that she was not prepared enough.

The mountains here are not entirely earth mountains, but a mixture of stones and soil. They are narrow and uneven. The stones will hurt your feet when you walk on the road, and you will scratch your palms if you accidentally fall to the ground.

When I have money, I will definitely buy myself a set of clothes, Yun Zhenzhen thought to herself.

After walking less than a hundred meters inside, Yun Zhenzhen looked at the direction of the hillside and headed straight to the west, where there should be a water source.

Where there is water, there will be animals, fish, shrimps and fruit trees.

In my previous life, I loved adventure and often traveled with my friends, including to some remote primeval forests, which allowed me to accumulate a lot of skills and experience in survival in the wild.

There are a few scattered footprints on the ground under your feet. Few people go further in. The ground is covered with a thick layer of dead yellow leaves, so you need to walk very carefully.

Yun Zhenzhen moved forward cautiously, looking around for food to eat.

I saw a plum tree not far ahead. When I walked over, I saw small plums standing proudly on the branches.

Yun Zhenzhen couldn't wait to use her sickle to pick two off to taste. As soon as she took a bite, her mouth couldn't stop secreting sour water. The plums were not yet ripe, and they were sour and astringent.

But she was too hungry and the little soup she had at noon was no longer enough for her. After taking a break, Yun Zhenzhen put down her backpack, picked up her sickle and climbed up the tree.

Hanging on the tree, Yun Zhenzhen ate plums with a frown on her face, while frantically picking plums and throwing them into the backpack. Although they were a bit sour, at least they were not bitter, and she hated bitterness the most.

After picking plums for about a quarter of an hour, just when her legs became weak and she could no longer stand, the plums filled half of her backpack, so she slowly retreated.

After a short rest and a further walk, a sound suddenly came.

“Help…Help…Help…”

The sound gradually faded.

Yun Zhenzhen followed the sound and saw a huge pit. It looked natural and was surrounded by weeds. The sound came from inside.

She carefully looked over and saw a boy huddled in a ball in the pit, his voice faintly calling for help.

The boy looked to be about ten years old, with blood on his hand, probably injured. The bottom of the pit was very deep, the walls were almost vertical, and there was nothing around except weeds.

Hearing the voice, the boy looked up, and when he saw that it was Yun Zhenzhen, the light in his eyes suddenly dimmed. How could she appear here?

"I didn't mean to stay out. There was no food outside the mountain, so I had no choice but to come in." The boy lowered his eyes and explained, "I found some food. Please don't be angry, and don't hit Awen and the others."

As he spoke, he quickly handed over a bag that was bulging with stuff. It was only then that Yun Zhenzhen recognized that this was the original body's stepson Qin Li.

"Okay." Yun Zhenzhen felt a little headache and quickly stopped Qin Li's actions.

The original person just left and left a mess for himself. Qin Li looked panicked, but there was indifference in his eyes, fearing that this was another person who was difficult to get along with.

"call......"

Yun Zhenzhen sighed, looked around, and finally cut a thick branch from the tree and stretched it into the pit.

"Hold on tight, I'll pull you up first."

Qin Li looked at her suspiciously, and although he was very reluctant, he still stretched out his hand.

The next moment, with a shout of "Got it", he felt himself being driven by a force, his feet climbing unconsciously, and when he reacted again, he was already standing outside.

Yun Zhenzhen was a little bit unbelievable. She was originally very strong, but she could drag out a child of fourteen or fifteen years old in one go. The child probably weighed less than seventy kilograms.

Qin Li stood there blankly without saying a word, as if waiting for punishment.

Yun Zhenzhen walked up to him, raised her hand and gently touched his head. Feeling the gentle touch on his head, Qin Li looked up in surprise and looked at her in disbelief.

He expected to be severely punished, but the slap did not fall as he expected. Instead, he saw a smiling woman with a reassuring light in her eyes.

"It's okay, it's great to be able to find food!" Yun Zhenzhen's voice was soft and gentle, like a spring breeze blowing past Qin Li's ears.

His eyes widened, he couldn't believe what he heard: "What tricks is this woman playing?"

Yun Zhenzhen didn't seem to notice his surprise. She just put the backpack on her back and continued walking forward. "Follow me closely, don't get lost." She said it naturally, as if all this was a matter of course.

Qin Li stood in place, looking at Yun Zhenzhen's back as she walked away. He gritted his teeth and quickly caught up with her.

It will be dark in two hours, and the forest will be even more dangerous. We must get home before dark.

The two of them just walked like this. She was a child in her previous life, and she became a mother painlessly after traveling through time. She didn't know how to communicate with the child. Qin Li didn't say anything, but just followed her silently.
