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

Xu Zhenhai said angrily, "You've been with me for more than ten years. I've trusted you all these years, and you've basically handled my personal affairs. Since you haven't been able to get to know someone well in more than ten years, then I can't keep you..."

"Master..." The butler looked at him blankly, his eyes full of disbelief.

He had followed the master for more than ten years and had worked diligently over the years. He betrayed him in this matter, but he didn't expect the consequences to be so serious.

"Master, I was wrong. I was wrong to do this, but the elder master and his men have been very kind to me. He said he would let me help him, and that we would be even this time. He only asked me to intercept the young lady's letter. I didn't know such a big thing would happen..."

Xu Zhenhai didn't care about that and kicked him directly: "Okay, I've treated you well for the past ten years, and you betrayed me like this. Could it be that all my trust in you over the past ten years has been thrown away?"

The housekeeper knelt on the ground and cried, "Master, I'm sorry. This is the only time I've done something wrong. Master, please don't drive me away..."

"Okay, okay, Xiao Shitou, from today on, you will take over the position of housekeeper and investigate what he has done behind my back over the years." Xu Zhenhai said directly to Xiao Shitou who was standing aside.

"master……"

Xu Zhenhai had the housekeeper taken away, thinking out of sight, out of mind. The housekeeper could only watch himself being fired.

"I'm so sorry to have made a fool of myself in front of you." Xu Zhenhai pinched his brows irritably. "My housekeeper has been with me for more than ten years. He's always been thorough. I never thought he'd be bribed... Never mind. I'm too lazy to talk about it. I'd better not bother you any more."

However, what made him most angry was that the mastermind behind this incident was actually his elder brother and sister-in-law. He obviously trusted his elder brother so much, so why would they do such a thing?

Over the years, he has been doing business outside, leaving the family to be managed by his eldest brother, and his own children are educated together with his nieces. He thought that he would treat his daughter well for the sake of his brother, but he didn't expect...

It was not until now that he knew what kind of life his daughter was living at home.

This is all my fault. I was busy with business outside and neglected to care for my daughter, which led to this kind of thing happening.

Yun Zhenzhen left it at that and without saying any more to Xu Zhenhai, she took a few people and got on the ox cart to go home.

"So, when a person reaches a certain age, he or she can be very successful outside, but he or she must not neglect the family. He or she must devote all his or her energy to the children and do everything for them personally. Never neglect your care for your children because of a few words from outsiders."

Qin Li immediately nodded in agreement: "That's right, just like mother always cares and loves us. When I have children in the future, I will definitely treat them the same way mother treats us and pass on this kind of love and care."

Ning Shan also chuckled and nodded: "What happened today made me suddenly feel that I didn't care enough about my brother. When I get back, I must have more heart-to-heart talks with him to prevent the relationship between brothers from fading in the future..."

Yun Zhenzhen looked at the two people's serious expressions and couldn't help laughing.

"I hope that many years from now you will still remember what you said today and never forget your original intention."

The two of them are now living in a simple environment. I hope that when their lives get better in the future, they can always keep their original intentions.

Don't forget your heart, you have to always.

In less than half an hour, the ox cart wobbled back to the gate of Qinjia Village...

the other side.

Xu Zhenhai also returned to the Xu family without stopping.

He got off the carriage and immediately saw his elder brother and sister-in-law standing at the gate of Xu's residence to greet him. They both had warm smiles on their faces and there was nothing unusual about them.

Xu Zhenhai strode over and without saying a word, pulled his elder brother directly into the study in the backyard.

"Brother, shouldn't you give me an explanation?" Xu Zhenhai sat directly on the main seat, lying on his back with his legs spread out.

In the past, he had always respected his elder brother because they were born of the same mother, so he handed over the family business he had worked so hard to build to him, but this did not mean that he was the one who made the decisions in the Xu family.

"Second... Second brother, what do you mean by that?" Boss Xu didn't know if his younger brother had heard the rumors outside, so he could only speak tentatively: "You said you've been away for such a long time and come back. Your eldest sister-in-law and I happily welcomed you back. What do you mean by putting on such a face as soon as you come back? Do you still regard me as your eldest brother?"

In the past, as long as he acted like the eldest brother, even if he did something wrong, his second brother would immediately give in.

Filial piety is the most important thing for the people. Now that his parents are gone, as his eldest brother, I am his elder and it is only natural for me to be his leader.

Xu Zhenhai just stared at him coldly without saying a word.

"Second brother, I know you've had a long journey and it's been hard." Boss Xu noticed his brother's unusual behavior today and had to soften his attitude: "Please clean yourself up first. Let's sit down and have a meal together as a family. We can talk about anything later..."

bang——

Seeing that he was talking about other things, Xu Zhenhai lost his last bit of patience and kicked over the small stool under his feet.

"Brother, I've respected you for all these years. In my heart, everything that's mine is yours. I've entrusted this vast family business to you to manage. Is this how you repay me?" Xu Zhenhai looked at him coldly. Seeing he was still trying to argue, he laid his cards on the table. "You don't need to say any more. I know everything about my daughter. I've come back this time to seek justice for her."

"Second brother, don't be anxious. Let's sit down and talk it over slowly." Boss Xu wiped the sweat from his forehead. "You said you've been away from home for so long. Your sister-in-law and I miss you terribly. Something did happen at home recently. I didn't have time to tell you because I was afraid you'd worry and lose your composure. So you have to give us a chance to explain. You can't just condemn us all at once."

After pondering for a moment, he relaxed his tone and said, "I was indeed a little anxious. I heard that Ling'er had an accident on the way, so I rushed back without stopping."

"Brother, before I left, I told you to take good care of her. Ling'er lost her mother when she was young, and I've been away from home all year round. I feel really bad for her, so I wanted you to cultivate a relationship with her. For so many years, you and your sister-in-law have been her biological parents. How could something like this happen?"

"Second brother, please listen to my explanation..."
