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

The Yun family's backyard.

The two sisters were talking, and Yun Chengcheng smiled bitterly when she heard her say the word divorce.

"Divorce is something you can just talk about jokingly. Who would really do it? If you ask around, you'll find that I've never heard of anyone getting divorced in this area. Besides, Wang Gui and I have three children together. What are we going to do with them in the future? Even if all the children follow me, my mother won't let me stay at her parents' house. She'll definitely think I've brought shame to the Yun family, and I don't know what to do in the future... It's better to just leave it at this, stay at home with the children, and make do with it for the rest of my life..."

After hearing her words, Yun Zhenzhen was silent.

In this era, most women obeyed their husbands after marriage. If they really divorced, it would be considered a heinous crime. It was obviously unlikely that my sister, an ancient person, would accept it all of a sudden.

Forget it, there is still a lot of time, I can plan it slowly in the future.

But today she beat Wang Gui in front of so many people to vent her anger. When they return home, her sister and child will definitely suffer. She has to find a way to solve this problem.

She chatted with Yun Chengcheng for a while, trying to understand her life from her words and then make plans for her future.

The banquet outside ended quickly. Without Yun Zhenzhen's invitation, Old Lady Qin spontaneously took the men in the village to put the tables, chairs and benches back, and the aunts also stayed to clean up the mess.

Of course, any leftovers from the dinner table that the aunts liked could be taken home for their families to eat. This was something Yun Zhenzhen had already agreed to.

After everything was cleaned up, only family members were left at home.

Wang Gui kept looking around and touching the house, envying the large blue brick and tiled house. Then he came to the ox cart, touched the ox's back, and said with a sigh, "This big, strong ox must have cost a lot of money, right? Zhenzhen, how much did you pay for this ox?"

Yun Chengcheng's face turned cold, and she frowned at him. "This is someone else's family matter. Why are you asking about it? Let's go back quickly after dinner. We can still get home before daybreak. Otherwise, we'll have to walk in the dark."

"I'm talking to my sister-in-law, why are you butting in?" Wang Gui looked at Yun Chengcheng angrily, then looked at Yun Zhenzhen beside him with a smile on his face: "Sister, I think your ox cart is quite spacious. The way home is really too far, and we're carrying a child, it's not convenient at all... Look, it will take us an hour to walk back. Why don't you just use your ox cart to take us back."

He was a little worried that Yun Zhenzhen would not agree, after all, she had just lost face in front of so many people.

The next second, Yun Zhenzhen nodded directly, which made him so happy that he didn't know what to do. "He is my biological elder sister, and you must be my biological brother-in-law as well. It is natural for me to take you home. After all, you don't come here often. Big sister, you can take Erxi to sit in the car, and the eldest brother and I will take you home."

"Good, good, good, you're really my sister." Wang Gui jumped onto the ox cart with joy. "I knew this trip was worthwhile. My sister doesn't look down on us poor people. She's such an honest person."

Yun Chengcheng still wanted to persuade them to leave, saying that they could just walk back and there was no need to go through so much trouble.

But Yun Zhenzhen patted her shoulder firmly and walked towards the ox cart: "Come on, sister, we haven't seen each other for so long, don't you want to stay with me for a while?"

She could only follow the force and sit down. The eldest son of the Qin family was beside her, so the five of them sitting together didn't seem crowded.

"Really..." Yun Chengcheng said a little embarrassedly: "Didn't I tell you this afternoon? I told you to ignore Wang Gui. He's a very shameless person. You agreed to his small request, and he dared to ask for too much. Everyone in the village knows his bad character. You'd better not..."

"Oh, my dear sister, please don't worry about it..." Yun Zhenzhen gently interrupted her, "It's not a big deal to take the oxcart back and forth. I haven't been to your house in so many years. I want to see how you are doing. Could it be that you don't want to be close to me, your sister?"

"This..." Yun Chengcheng was embarrassed and didn't know how to start. She hadn't seen her second sister for a long time and she had been missing her so much. How could she not miss her more after finally getting the chance to see her?

"Aunt, my mother's life at home is not good at all." Erxi said suddenly: "My mother has to get up very early every day and work at home. After working all day, she is beaten and scolded by my father. My father also likes to drink. When he is drunk, he beats people even more fiercely. Many times my mother can't hear me speak...Aunt, I'm so scared. I'm really afraid that one day I won't see my mother anymore...Ugh!"

Yun Chengcheng covered her mouth: "What are you talking about, little kid? How can you say that about your father? I'm doing fine at home. After all, women, don't they all live like this for the rest of their lives after getting married? Every woman has been beaten. It's fine. Let's just leave it at that..."

When Wang Gui, who was standing by, heard the child say this, he turned around and stared at her fiercely, warning her not to talk nonsense again.

Erxi could only nestle timidly in Yun Chengcheng's arms and say nothing.

Yun Zhenzhen looked at the family in this state and didn't say anything else. She, the eldest sister, had stayed in the wolf's den for too long and lost the ability to think normally. It would be better to wait until they got to the place and see what happened.

The ox cart sped along and soon arrived at Wangjia Village, which was several villages away. After leaving the main road, there was a muddy dirt road that was shaking all the time before they finally reached the village entrance.

It is spring now, and many people in Wangjia Village are preparing to sow seeds and working in the fields. Ox carts come lumbering in, and many people stop what they are doing and look up to watch the fun.

Seeing this, Wang Gui couldn't help but stand up and show off: "Do you know who this is? This is the sixth-rank Ruyi Anren, who was personally appointed by the emperor. She is my dear sister-in-law, Wang Gui. You have never seen such a sixth-rank official in your life. She is an official higher than the county magistrate. This Ruyi Anren cares about our family very much and insisted on sending us back personally. Don't be envious, hurry up and work..."

The ox cart swayed through the crowd and arrived at the gate of Wang Gui's yard.

Wang Gui, who had just satisfied his urge to talk, now had a beaming smile on his face. It was because those people usually looked down on him that they didn't expect that he had such a good relationship with their in-laws.

As a result, his tone when talking to his wife became much softer.

The yard in front was simply surrounded by a wooden fence. There were only two adobe houses. Inside, a woman was taking care of a child, and two men in their early twenties were sitting and resting.
