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

These two days.

Yun Zhenzhen took this opportunity to simply lie on the bed to eat and drink. The children at home took care of everything, and she just had to lie down. She lived a happy life.

Master Yan had just come over to talk and mentioned recent events: "I've already sent a letter to Kyoto. Although I'm not as prosperous as I used to be, I still have some close friends there. Everything that happens here will surely be reported to Kyoto, and by then everyone will know about it. The Liu family is a second-rank family after all, so how could they allow a member of a side branch to tarnish their reputation? Maybe they'll send people over to clean up the scum without us having to worry about it."

Yun Zhenzhen ate some delicious potato chips and nodded in agreement, "In ancient times, officials and their families valued their reputation the most. If word of this were to spread back, it would surely cause a stir. The Liu family's rivals wouldn't miss such a good opportunity."

Not only will this put public pressure on the Liu family, but people's hearts will also lean towards their side.

She didn't have a deep understanding of it before, but ever since Lord Liu came to Qinjia Village and stirred up trouble, she understood a truth: in this era of taking advantage of others, people of humble status, even if they are not wrong, cannot fight against those in high positions and powers.

After all, she was a seventh-rank Anren, which carried a certain weight if she told others about it, but it was only limited to the county. Once someone of status came from above, she would be completely unqualified to resist. Someone like Lord Liu could crush her to death with just a flick of his finger.

She could indeed write letters to Lu Yunfeng and County Magistrate Wang for help, but not to mention that they were not in the local area at the moment, even if they were there, it was impossible for them to openly go against Lord Liu. Even if they did for a while, what about the future? She couldn't always rely on others to live, she still had to be self-reliant.

The best way is to ask the fourth-rank governor for help.

The governor clearly knew the origins of the Liu family, so how could he openly go against such a huge family just for some common people?

The best thing to do is to make this matter bigger, giving the governor a reason to take action, and there will be obvious benefits after resolving this matter.

Xiao Nan looked at Yun Zhenzhen who was lost in thought and said, "Mom, what are you thinking about so deeply? Tell me quickly."

Qin Li also asked anxiously: "Mom, do you have any ideas? We have been very anxious recently."

Yun Zhenzhen looked at the children and asked them as if testing them, "I haven't been out these past few days. When you went out, did you see what the situation in the village is like?"

Qin Li sighed deeply. "The children in the village are still young and probably don't know what's going on. They go to school as usual, but the adults are all in a panic, afraid that their families will be the next to suffer."

Now that the village chief and Yun Zhenzhen, who were in charge, have fallen, the villagers seem to have lost their backbone, and everyone is in a panic.

Especially those whose houses have been occupied, either squeezed into relatives' homes or built a temporary thatched hut. The people of Qinjia Village, who used to be neat, uniform, warm and cheerful, now live in anxiety, living in thatched huts every day, and they can see the end of their days at a glance.

Now the entire village is under the jurisdiction of Lord Liu. The officers patrol back and forth in the village, wearing big swords on their waists, and threaten anyone they see. They look very awe-inspiring. The village patrol team has also been ordered by them not to come out, and now they are nowhere to be seen.

Although the woolen workshop has not stopped working, the laughter and joy of the past are gone. A depressing atmosphere lingers around everyone. The aunts who go to work are all lifeless, as if something has happened at home.

"Godmother, I'm back!"

Wang Ze's cheerful voice came from outside. He had just sat down and hadn't even had time to drink a sip of water when he spoke breathlessly, "I asked my father to inquire about it. The county magistrate and his men will be back in two or three days from now. By then, the matter will be resolved."

"Okay, you've been busy these past two days, running back and forth. Go and take a rest."

Several people were talking in the room when suddenly there was an angry shout from the officer at the door.

Wang Ze's eyes turned cold: "These people really think they are something. They are endless day after day, and they even come here to cause trouble."

In the yard stood two menacing officers, who snorted coldly, "I heard from the villagers that Ruyi'an has a wolf and a puppy, one large and one small, at home."

Qin Li stood in the yard and whispered, "I think Lord Liu must have heard wrongly. We only have puppies at home, not wolves."

"Oh, I advise you to tell the truth and stop trying to deceive us." The officer said coldly, "To tell you the truth, I came here this time because of the order of Lord Liu. He has taken a fancy to your wolf and wants to taste its meat. You must cook it tonight and bring a bowl of wolf meat over. Otherwise... I tell you, if you anger Lord Liu, there will be no good consequences."

After saying that, he turned around and left without caring about the expressions of the people present.

When Qin Li heard this, he was so angry that he was shaking all over. He wished he could chop off the heads of the two officers and hang them on his belt.

Yun Zhenzhen was lying in the room and heard these words verbatim.

She felt that she really couldn't wait even a minute longer, and now she wanted Lord Liu and his lackeys to pack up and get out of here, never to disappear again.

After there was no movement outside, Yun Zhenzhen finally spoke: "Boss, I heard that a hunter from our village hunted a roe deer in the mountains a few days ago. Go buy a few pounds of meat from him and bring it back to make a meat soup for them."

Qin Li's face was filled with grief and indignation, but he still agreed obediently: "I'll go right away, mother."

"Awen, come here." Yun Zhenzhen called the second brother in. "Go call the village doctor and tell him that I vomited blood and fainted again. Finally, run while shouting so that everyone in the village will know."

When the village doctor heard the news, he hurried over here with a small medicine box. Half an hour later, he came out of the house with a sad face.

At this time, it was already dark, and many villagers who had heard the news gathered outside the yard.

Seeing the doctor's appearance, everyone's hearts sank a little bit.

"Sister Yun, what's wrong? Doctor, why do you look like this? Tell us quickly."

"That's right. Can't you see how anxious we are? Stop keeping us in suspense and just tell us."

"Sister Yun was always in good health before, how could she suddenly become like this? Ever since Lord Liu came here, nothing good has happened..."

"Really..."

The doctor shook his head helplessly: "There's nothing we can do. Ruyi'an has vomited too much blood, and coupled with the depression in his heart, his whole body has suddenly become weak. It's really difficult to cure him with medicine or food. We have to ask the doctor in the city to come and see him..."
