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

The moonlight was dim and a faint light flickered in the kitchen.

Qin Li was busy inside, Yun Zhenzhen went over to take it and asked him to come out to deal with the remaining dishes.

Dinner was still potato pancakes and fried eggs with spinach leaves, a simple meal.

After everyone finishes washing their clothes, they wash up and go to bed, ready for a busy day.

There's no way, the life of a poor person is so simple and boring.

The next morning, Yun Zhenzhen was grinding vegetables in the yard, Qin Li was in the kitchen making sugar, Qin Wen was making a fire, and little Qin Nan was feeding chickens in the yard. Everyone had their own job.

"Aunt San, are you home?"

A crisp sound was heard at the door. Yun Zhenzhen wiped the handle and walked out, only to find that it was Daya from the old house.

"Hey, Daya is here?"

Standing at the door were Daya and Erdan, a brother and sister, with two small backpacks at their feet, each half filled with about 20 kilograms of vegetable roots.

"Auntie San, the two of us dug 18 kilograms. Can you take it?"

Daya spoke cautiously. If we calculate based on one penny for two pounds, she could exchange a lot of money. Could Third Aunt give it to her?

Yun Zhenzhen naturally didn't think it was too much. This thing wouldn't go bad if kept in the cellar for a few days, and she wouldn't have to go up the mountain and waste time.

She looked at them with a smile and said, "Collect, collect, a total of 18 kilograms, Third Aunt will give you nine cents."

After saying that, he took out nine copper coins from his pocket and handed them over.

Daya took it with a smile on her face. One cent could buy an egg, and nine cents could buy many eggs.

Have you become rich?

She was jumping up and down with the money in her hand, preparing to take Erdan away.

Erdan didn't move, but sniffed suddenly. He smelled a very sweet smell. He wondered what delicious food was being cooked at Third Aunt's house.

Thinking of this, I almost put my head into the house.

Seeing this, Yun Zhenzhen quickly said to Daya, "Daya, it's getting late. You should go back quickly. The sun will be too strong and it will burn you."

"Okay, Third Aunt." Daya obediently pulled her brother back. As soon as they turned the corner, Erdan pouted.

"Aunt San's house smells so good. She must have cooked a lot of delicious food. Big sister, why don't you let me stay for dinner?"

When Daya heard this, her brows immediately furrowed. "Didn't Grandma tell you to go home when it's time for dinner and not go to other people's houses for free meals? Why can't you remember?"

"What's wrong with just eating it once?" Erdan said with a look of longing: "I also saw that Third Aunt raised a lot of chickens in the yard. Wouldn't that mean I can eat eggs every day in the future..."

Daya also saw the chickens in the yard. There were a large group of them, but she only had one chicken.

As they were talking, the two siblings saw their own eaves.

The family in the old house was preparing lunch, chatting while working.

"Have you heard that my third sister-in-law spent money to buy the roots of radish, and she can sell two pounds for one penny. She is really rich and has nothing to burn." Chen said in an ambiguous tone, but the sour taste in her mouth could not be stopped from overflowing.

"I don't know where she got the money. I heard she even bought chicks. Is she going to empty our family's savings?"

Old Lady Qin, who was standing by, looked up when she heard this and said, "Buying chickens is a good thing. You have to nag me when I think I'm doing well. Are you too bored? Go and dig up the backyard for me when you have time?"

Chen's face froze. When did the old lady become so partial to Qin Yun, saying yes to everything she said? It wasn't like this before.

He moved his frozen mouth corners and said, "Mom, that's not what I meant. I'm not thinking that my third sister-in-law has made money but doesn't think about honoring our parents. I'm not feeling sorry for you two."

"I don't feel unfair." Old Lady Qin replied coldly: "Some people should speak with conscience. Could it be that the meat that the third daughter-in-law brought over a few days ago has all gone into the dog's stomach..."

"This..." Chen was unable to finish a sentence, her face turning pale and blue.

Just then, Daya brought her brother back home.

Chen's pent-up anger immediately found an outlet: "You little bitch, where have you been running off with your brother? You're not working at home, so I'm here to wash your clothes."

"That's enough." Old Lady Qin couldn't bear to watch any longer and stopped her, "I've never seen you wash the child's clothes. Daya, come here and tell me what you did with your brother."

Daya said softly, "Yesterday I heard Third Aunt was collecting the roots of the radish, so I took my brother to dig some radish."

Erdan chimed in, "Grandma, you don't know how amazing my eldest sister is. She brought me together and dug over ten pounds of shrubs, and Third Aunt gave us a full nine copper coins."

When Chen heard this, she no longer cared about being angry and hurried over to ask, "Where are the copper coins?"

"Here it is." Daya carefully took out the copper coin from her pocket.

Just as Chen was about to take it, she was scolded by the old lady.

"The kid earns some pocket money, and you want to take it too?"

After saying that, Old Lady Qin looked at Daya with a smile and said, "Nine coins, hand over six coins according to the rules, and you can keep the rest."

"Okay!" Daya asked her grandmother to take a few coins, and gave one of the remaining copper coins to Erdan.

Chen just watched helplessly from the side, her face full of disappointment. Her mother-in-law had already spoken, and she couldn't possibly snatch the money in front of her.

Thinking of this, Chen's mind suddenly turned.

My third brother’s wife is so generous with her money, she must be doing some profitable business.

If two pounds of vegetables can be exchanged for one cent, then the things you sell must be worth at least several cents per pound to make a profit.

I remember that my husband used to carry sandbags at the ferry and only earned twenty-five copper coins a day.

Chen immediately started to think about it. She said to Old Lady Qin, "The third brother's family has several children and no one to help. I'm afraid that my third brother's wife would not be able to handle the business alone. Otherwise..."

"Stop!" Old Lady Qin interrupted her immediately, "Put away your little thoughts and don't think about causing trouble for the third son's wife. Tomorrow you'll have to turn over all the land in the backyard."

Chen's face turned purple.

There are four vegetable plots in the backyard. Asking her to turn them all by herself would be like asking her to die.

Early the next morning, before it was fully light, Old Lady Qin called out to Chen to get up quickly and turn the soil.

Chen decided to give it a try and slipped out the door while the old lady wasn't paying attention.

She didn't notice that there was a little tail following her.

The Yun family was also busy at this time, as the delivery date was only two days away.

In the yard, Qin Li was grinding vegetables, and Xiao Nan was playing with the chicks nearby, and didn't see Yun Zhenzhen.

good chance!
