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

Yun Zhenzhen opened the jar and kissed it. She could still smell the milk inside, but it was much lighter. There was also a faint aroma of oil. Both of these things could keep the skin smooth and tender and lock in moisture.

It’s no wonder that this thing is expensive. The raw materials used are indeed better. Many farmers and ordinary people have probably never heard of it, let alone buy it to apply on their faces.

In an era when people could not even get enough to eat, how could they have spare money to spend on these things? Only some ladies from noble families would have extra money to spend on them.

Suddenly I remembered that the main ingredient of modern skin care products is glycerin, which can also be processed under existing conditions. The effect of the finished product will not be worse than this snow muscle cream, and the cost is greatly reduced.

I can try to extract glycerin when I get back home, and then make skin care products. They are good value for money and effective. I don't worry about no one buying them.

Afterwards, she went to several other similar shops and looked around. The types of products sold there were similar. She bought the most basic moisturizer for her children and then walked out of the store.

I have a pretty good understanding of the basic market conditions, so I can try out products in this area when I get back.

After the spring this year, the sales of blankets will definitely not be as good as in winter. At that time, we can build a skin care product workshop and recruit old workers to continue working, so there is no need to worry about unemployment.

Over the past few days, while the children were studying at the inn, Yun Zhenzhen wandered around the city and found quite a few fruit seeds, including common melons and cantaloupes. He planned to buy some to try. Qinjia Village had so much wasteland, and if they could be cultivated, he could expand production and become a source of income.

Time passed slowly, and in the blink of an eye, it was the day of the exam.

The exam was held near the government office and was supervised by a special invigilator. Early in the morning, the students in the inn got up one after another, packed their things, and headed to the exam hall.

Yun Zhenzhen also rushed over there with a few children.

You have to stay there for three to five days to take an exam, and you have to eat, drink, defecate and urinate in the same place. In addition to the necessary pens, ink, paper and inkstone for the exam, you also have to bring necessary dry food and water.

Large items such as bedding are not allowed to be brought in. The rules of the examination hall are very strict. The children can only wear more and thicker clothes so that they can sleep better.

Everything was prepared and packed in a package, one for each of the two children, and the family rushed to the examination room.

Arrived at the entrance to the exam.

Yun Zhenzhen handed the things in her hand over and earnestly instructed the two children: "Just do your best during the exam and take care of yourself. Nothing is more important than yourself. There are still many opportunities."

The two children nodded in unison, carrying their large packages and walking slowly towards the examination room.

Yun Zhenzhen was still looking at his back when an annoying voice came from not far behind him.

"My dear Ruyi, what a coincidence we meet here." Mr. Wang had been waiting nearby since early morning. He walked over with a smile on his face. "My son is staying at the same inn as you. I'm afraid I'm bothering you. Thanks for taking care of my son these past few days. How about treating you to a simple meal as a token of my gratitude?"

Yun Zhenzhen waved her hand nonchalantly, "Your Highness has taken good care of himself these past few days. There's no need to bother me. There's no need to bother with dinner. The children are still taking exams inside, so they're not in the mood for that."

He took one last look back at the examination room. There was a long queue at the entrance and a long tunnel inside. The children needed to pass through this tunnel to reach the examination room.

This road is also the only way for many poor students to change their lives. Every student who enters here carries the greatest expectations of his family.

"Master Wang, I have some things to do at the inn, so I won't bother you any more. Please go on as you please."

Seeing him leave, Mr. Wang could only turn around and get on his own carriage.

After they left completely, there were a few strangers around who were surprised that they could send their children here to take the exam. Their families had some money, and many of them were businessmen who had business dealings with the Wang family.

Because the Wang family has a relative who is a county magistrate, they have never had any obstacles in their business. In addition, Mr. Wang does have a talent for business, and his business has been growing bigger and bigger in recent years. Even many people in Yuzhou have business dealings with him.

Everyone knows that Mr. Wang's son is among the best in the academy, so he never takes others seriously.

But just now they saw this old man being so humble to a woman dressed very ordinary, and even trying to get the cold shoulder by inviting her to dinner.

Even though the woman had a pretty face and outstanding temperament, it was obvious from the way she was dressed that she was not from a wealthy family, so why was she like this?

"Brother Wang, I saw you chatting with someone just now and didn't come over to interrupt you. I wonder who that person is?"

"That's right, you're so polite to me. I don't see anything special about her. How could she deserve such treatment?"

"I've traveled extensively for so many years, and I've met some powerful and wealthy ladies, but I've never seen this kind of person. I wonder where she comes from..."

Mr. Wang smiled and stroked his beard: "Even if I tell you, you won't understand. You're from the same place as me, so we're half fellow villagers. You can speak well. When fellow villagers meet, their eyes are filled with tears, so naturally they should be more polite."

It's really funny. His Wang family hasn't even established contact with Ruyi Anren yet, so how could he easily tell others about it? What if someone gets the upper hand?

After they are completely tied to the Ruyi'an people, they don't mind leaking some information, so that the Wang family's business can grow bigger and bigger.

In short, no matter what the circumstances, the interests of his Wang family must be put first.

Mr. Wang put on a mysterious look and got into his carriage with a smile on his face.

This made the merchants who stayed behind even more curious. They knew clearly that he was hiding something. Many of the people present were from the same hometown as him, so why had they never seen him so polite before?

However, the woman's clothes were really ordinary. Apart from being a little pretty, she didn't look like a person of status. They couldn't be overthinking it.

A few days passed in a flash. On the day the exam ended, Yun Zhenzhen brought Ning Shan to the entrance of the examination room early, with two bouquets of flowers in their hands, ready to welcome them.

The surrounding area was also crowded with parents who came to pick up their children. They were squeezed in the crowd and soon overwhelmed them.

Yun Zhenzhen's palms were sweating from nervousness as she kept looking inside. She had been traveling through time for so long, but she had never experienced such a tense moment. It was as if the person taking the exam inside was her, not her nephew.

She smiled somewhat unhappily. Why was she getting worse the older she got? She was becoming less and less stable day by day.
