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

Yun family.

Old Mrs. Zhang rushed in with a group of people.

Behind her, two neighbors were carrying Zhang Qiang on a straw mat and dragging him towards this side. He had a head injury and had only received simple treatment. He looked bloody and people were afraid to get close to him.

It was not yet time for dinner. Qin Li and the children were either busy outside or still in school. Only a few women were in the room.

Yun Zhenzhen was busy processing large intestines in the house and couldn't move her hands for the time being. Aunt Zhao, who was helping at home, put down her handkerchief, wiped her hands, and walked out: "Second Aunt Zhang, what are you trying to do by coming to Sister Yun's door with such fanfare?"

"Aunt Zhao, I'm not targeting anyone. I just want Xu Ling'er, who lives here, to come out." Mrs. Zhang gritted her teeth and spoke with a hateful look on her face. "I just want her to give me an explanation. My son Qiangzi was fine, why did she kill him? He had several big bloody holes on his head. If he hadn't been discovered in time, he would have died long ago! Hurry and call her out..."

Aunt Zhao looked at Ling'er, who looked aggrieved, and stood in front of her. "In this kind of situation, you say you are right, and I say I am right. As for the truth, why not call the parties out for a confrontation? Ask Zhang Qiang to come over."

"Sister Zhao..." Xu Ling'er put her hand on her shoulder, signaling her not to worry, and then strode out.

"What exactly is going on here? You might as well ask your own son what he did to me that forced me to pick up a stone to protect myself. Do you dare to ask him to speak out?"

Upon hearing this, the onlookers all looked at Zhang Qiang lying on the ground.

Zhang Qiang's face was covered in blood and looked scary, but from the way he stole glances at other people's spirits from time to time, it was obvious that there was no big problem.

He propped himself up halfway, sneered, and said, "Do I even need to tell you about this? You're a grown woman, but you're always hanging around me, glancing at me from time to time. It's obvious you're attracted to me and trying to seduce me. I happened to see her in the grove today, and she even leaned towards me, clearly wanting to marry me... I was just going along with her wishes, but I didn't expect that after we were done, she'd want to abandon me and even throw stones at me... Folks, please judge for me."

No matter what the outcome is, as long as he can ruin this woman's reputation, he will not only get the money, but he may even be able to marry a virgin.

It's simply killing two birds with one stone.

He deliberately blurred the truth of the matter and emphasized the words "after it was done", which immediately caused a stir in this era when fame was as big as the sky.

"What!? Xu Ling'er is a lady from a wealthy family, how could she possibly fall for a scoundrel like Zhang Qiang?"

"That being said, aren't those city girls often blind? Look at Miss Xu's clothes, they're a mess, and her hair is messy too. It's really possible that something happened between them."

"Oh my god, this young lady has never seen the world. She was actually deceived by someone like Zhang Qiang. What a pity..."

"Who says it's not..."

"You're talking nonsense!" Xu Linger stood up and shouted angrily, "There's nothing innocent between him and me. I wouldn't fall for a man like that. He's just destroying my reputation."

Mrs. Zhang immediately stood up to refute: "Since my son has done nothing to you, why did you throw stones at him? You can't just take his life like this just because you are a city girl. You have to give my son justice..."

When she was cursing, she still felt unsatisfied and pushed Xu Ling'er hard.

Ling'er didn't pay attention to her steady footing and almost fell to the ground. Yun Zhenzhen behind her held her waist.

Aunt Zhao looked at Mrs. Zhang coldly and said, "You should have evidence when you speak. Sister Ling'er is an innocent girl, and you can't just embezzle her money. Since it almost endangered a life, it's a murder case. I believe the village wouldn't dare to deal with such a thing casually. It's better to report it to the authorities and ask them to send someone to investigate."

Zhang Qiang sat there, not in the least bit anxious. "Oh, this kind of thing isn't very glorious. If it gets out to the city, Miss Xu's reputation will be ruined. Do you think I really need to make such a big fuss?"

Xu Linger clenched her fists tightly. She felt a little regretful. Why didn't she just smash the man to death with a stone? Letting him live in this world was simply a waste of air.

"But I'm not the type to be petty. On the contrary, I'm more compassionate to women." Zhang Qiang continued, the lewd smile on his lips making him look even more vulgar. "Anyway, you're already mine, and I'm attracted to you. How about we get married in front of the whole village and be a family for life?"

"he~tui!"

Yun Zhenzhen listened to the entire conversation in the room, wiped her hands, and came out, looking at him with a sneer, as if she had heard a huge joke. "Even the aunts with children in our village would look down on you. A man like you who is lazy and has no ambition is so shameless. Anyone who marries you will be in big trouble!"

Zhang Qiang's face turned red with anger, but he didn't dare to refute too much.

Today, Yun Zhenzhen is one of the Seventh Ping'an people canonized by the emperor. In addition, his prestige in the village has been growing in recent days, so he dare not confront him head-on.

But then he thought again, he came prepared, he was the victim, and no one could say anything to him standing here.

When the real owner of the house came out, the yard suddenly became quiet for a moment.

She looked at the Zhang family in front of her coldly: "It seems that your family still hasn't learned their lesson from what happened last time. You're here to cause trouble again today, right?"

"Niece of the Yun family, we are not here to cause trouble. We are just here to seek justice for my son. He has been very well behaved at home recently." Mrs. Zhang quickly spoke to defend her son: "If you don't believe me, ask the neighbors around my house. They can all testify."

The people around him didn't say anything when they heard this.

Isn't Zhang Qiang honest anymore? He did such shameless things. No matter who he is, he would be too embarrassed to hang around often.

What's more, he stayed at home every day and never did any work. He lay in bed from morning to night, and his meals were served by two old people at his bedside.

Everyone in Qinjia Village spread the news from one person to ten, and from ten to a hundred, everyone knew about the Zhang family's troubles. No one looked down on Zhang Qiang, and even Aunt Qiang and his children did not go home.
