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

Qin Li took out a hemp rope from the house and tied up Zhang Qiang directly. Mrs. Zhang kept trying to stop him, but was stopped by the villagers who were watching the show.

"Mrs. Zhang, please stop meddling in this matter. Your child made the mistake first, so he has to pay the price."

"That's right. You've been spoiling him for so many years. You and your wife haven't had a good life yet. If you continue to care about him, you'll be finished."

"Just tie him up and send him to the government office to teach him a lesson. Maybe he'll change for the better..."

The people around her tried to comfort her one after another, and Mrs. Zhang had no choice but to stop worrying.

When the group was about to send Zhang Qiang onto the ox cart and take him to the city, a horse-drawn carriage slowly drove towards Yun Zhenzhen's house.

Xu Linger was crying with tears and snot all over her face. She looked in the direction of the sound and recognized it as her own carriage the next second.

She thought it was her uncle who had brought people to cause trouble again, so she wiped her tears and prepared to go into the house to get a broom.

At this time, the curtain of the car was lifted from the inside, and a thin middle-aged man walked down first.

The tears that she had finally stopped burst out again the next second, and she murmured, "Daddy..."

"Ling'er, my precious daughter, you have suffered a lot during this period."

Xu Zhenhai quickly jumped off the carriage, ran towards Xu Linger, hugged her in his arms and comforted her.

After he had explained everything to his eldest brother at home, he immediately brought his men to Qinjia Village to see how his daughter, whom he had not seen for two months, was doing.

This is his only child in his life, and he has always loved her since she was a child. However, the family business forced them to be apart from each other for a long time, which led to her neglect. He did not expect that such a mistake would happen when he handed the child over to his eldest brother.

It's all his own fault. He must spend more time with his family in the future.

"Daddy..." Xu Ling'er finally couldn't hold back her tears in his arms: "Why did you come back just now? You don't know how much I missed you these days. I wrote to you but you didn't reply. I thought you didn't care about me anymore, wuwuwu..."

"My dear daughter, I'm back, aren't I? Don't be sad, I will definitely spend more time with you in the future..." Xu Zhenhai patted his daughter's back gently to comfort her.

"Ling'er, you're already such a grown-up, but you still act like a child. So many people are watching you. Stop crying." The eldest son of the Xu family got off another carriage and said kindly, "Come, Ling'er, your father is back now. You can go home with your uncle, right? You're so disobedient! I came to pick you up myself, but you didn't even come with me..."

Hearing this, Xu Linger suddenly raised her head and stared at the Xu family's eldest master with gloomy eyes: "Dad, he... why is he here with you?"

Yun Zhenzhen was also very curious when watching this scene. The eldest master of the Xu family actually came along. Logically speaking, after knowing what Xu Zhenhai had done, he should no longer trust him as his eldest brother. But now it seems that is not the case.

She just stood aside and didn't say much.

"Ling'er, your uncle has explained this matter to me clearly. There is a big misunderstanding here, and your uncle is actually unaware of it." Xu Zhenhai comforted her, and then signaled with his eyes to the master of the Xu family to give an explanation.

The eldest master of the Xu family came over and smiled affectionately: "Ling'er, everything that happened recently was a misunderstanding. I didn't explain it to you clearly. The young man I mentioned does want to marry a girl, but I want to marry my wife's personal maid to him. You must have heard it wrong. You are the eldest daughter of our Xu family. How could I marry you off so easily?"

"And I know you live in this village. I sent someone to invite you last time. I came here myself and didn't force you. I'm your uncle, how could I do such a thing? It must be someone under my command spreading rumors that made you misunderstand. We can't let these rumors distort our relationship..."

Xu Zhenhai also chimed in: "I went to ask the family that eldest brother mentioned. They did marry a girl from the Xu family back home. There was no intention of marrying you off to them. Ling'er, you must have misunderstood your uncle."

After hearing this explanation, Ling'er bit her lower lip tightly.

It seems that her father never received the letters she wrote, so he was deceived.

However, judging from the current situation, she has no evidence and there is definitely no possibility for her to bring down her uncle under such circumstances.

At this moment, Qin Li found something on Zhang Qiang's body and handed it to Yun Zhenzhen.

She unobtrusively opened it and took a look, then stood up and warmly welcomed them: "Master Xu, Second Master, you two are truly rare guests. It's not easy for you to come to my Qin Village. Don't stand outside and talk. Come into the yard and sit down. Erya, serve tea to the guests."

Yun Zhenzhen walked out from the corner of the yard with a smile, and it was only then that Xu Zhenhai noticed this beautiful figure.

Didn’t I just meet this person this morning? It was thanks to her that I was able to get back on track. I didn’t expect to meet her again in this village. There is really a connection between us.

As he opened his mouth to greet his benefactor, Uncle Xu behind him spoke first: "This old man and I have brought my younger brother to meet Mr. Ruyi'an."

Hearing this, Xu Zhenhai's eyes suddenly widened: "Ru... Ruyi Anren!?"

He was out doing business, and on his way back he heard a lot of rumors from people saying that a remarkable person had emerged in Yunding County, and that he was a seventh-rank Anren who was personally appointed by the emperor. On the way here, someone also told him that Ling'er was living in Ruyi Anren's house, so he could rest assured.

But he really didn't expect that the benefactor who saved his life in Liuye Town was actually the famous Ruyi'an!

Ruyi'an not only solved his problem, but also took good care of her daughter for so long. No matter from which perspective, she is Xu Zhenhai's great benefactor!

"I didn't expect you to be the famous Ruyi'an!" Xu Zhenhai came up with a smile on his face, but he was also a little reserved in his panic. "I heard from the servants that my precious daughter has been living here for nearly two months. It was thanks to Ruyi'an that she was saved and didn't become homeless. You are truly our family's benefactor. I, Xu Zhenhai, put this on the table. As long as you have any requests, just ask for what I can do. I will definitely go through fire and water..."

Yun Zhenzhen didn't show much emotion when she heard what he said. "Let's put aside the question of whether it's a request or not. The most urgent thing now is to clarify Ling'er's matter. Master Xu, am I right?"

"Right, right, right. Ling'er's matter is the most important. We need to get to the bottom of it now." Xu Zhenhai spoke directly from the back: "Come here, bring that traitorous girl here to me. She was the one who caused trouble and spread rumors. This is why Ling'er misunderstood my brother and ran out alone to suffer so much torture... Drag her up here quickly and give everyone an explanation."
