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

Yun Zhenzhen quickly helped the man up: "What are you doing, kid? Get up quickly."

"The few dozen taels of silver my wife gave me are the price of selling my body." Daqiang raised his head stubbornly, his eyes full of determination. "I have already settled my family and my sister. I gave the money to them. Miss Ten gave our family another life, so I am willing to repay Miss with my whole life."

Yun Zhenzhen looked at him with earnest words and hesitated a little, but thinking that they had just bought a new house and someone had to take care of it, she agreed.

He also saw that this kid was grateful and hardworking. He just happened to stay to help him look after the house. He could have lived a good life after receiving the money, but he still came to repay the favor. He thought it would be no problem for him to go and do some work later.

She solemnly took the indenture and said softly, "Then I'll take it for now. You can follow me. If you ever want to go somewhere or go home, you can always tell me and take back your indenture."

The child's original surname is Liu, his full name is Liu Qiang, and his sister is Liu Ying.

She was used to calling him Daqiang, so she didn't change his name on purpose. She just called him by the name that was easier to pronounce.

After she settled Daqiang, several other children also came to the place where the results were announced.

Now everyone is still waiting. In addition to the students who come to wait to see the list, even some parents or people who come to join in the fun have come, and the entire place where the list is announced is packed.

"Boom boom boom——"

A drum sounded and four officers came out of the house, holding a large yellow list in their hands.

Seeing this scene, everyone immediately stepped back. The officer took the paste and painted a large area on the wall, and then posted the list.

When they finally packed up and left, everyone suddenly crowded together and went forward to look for their names.

"Look, look, who's number one this year?"

"Yun Jing! Look, I told you, he always gets first place in every exam he takes. This year, he's definitely the top spot."

"He's really amazing! Come on, do I have my name? Where is it..."

"Brother Yun, you are truly worthy of being the best. I told you, you are the undisputed number one on the list. You have to treat me to a meal this time."

"Oh my, I made the list too! I saw that I had the second-to-last score and thought I was doomed, but I finally made it. I've already taken the test three times. Mom, I made the list!!!"

"Why not me? God is so unfair! I've taken the exam five times, why don't you give me this chance..."

"Oh my god, I didn't get in either, but this is only my first time taking the exam. There will be plenty of opportunities in the future, so I should prepare well next time."

"..."

The place where the results were announced suddenly became chaotic, with all kinds of noises being heard. Some people cried with joy, while others burst into tears. No one cared about those who were crying, but those who were laughing were sharing their joy with their classmates and friends.

"I, I, I, Brother Yun, oh my God, come and see me, is this my name?" Wang Ze jumped out from in front of the list, reached out and grabbed Yun Jing's sleeve, and was so excited that he almost went crazy.

"Oh my god, I'm number ninety-ninth! Oh my god, I just started counting from the last one and saw my own name next. I didn't expect that I could also pass the exam. My dad must be so happy."

Wang Ye, who was standing by, was also happy for his cousin. He had been playing around and neglected his studies before. He thought he would have to wait until the next exam, but he didn't expect to pass this time, which saved him some time.

It seems that what my cousin said is right. I can learn a lot from people like Yun Jing. I will have to communicate more with them in the future.

Wang Ye came over and slapped Wang Ze's butt: "Brother Yun is the top of the list, but he's not as excited as you. If you keep laughing, be careful that your jaw will be dislocated."

"You little brat, I'm your big brother, and you dare to hit me? You're so disrespectful." Wang Ze hooked his arm around the prince's neck and said to him with a smile, "I'm a serious scholar now. Although I may not have the same grades as you two, I can't let anyone look down on me in the future."

The two of them started arguing on the court, and many people around came over to congratulate Yun Jing after seeing the results.

"Brother Yun, you are truly a rare talent. You will surely ace the exam this August. If you pass, you will bring honor to us."

"After meeting Brother Yun today, I can see that his reputation is truly well-deserved. When you become successful and embark on a career in government, don't forget that we were once classmates."

"I see that Brother Yun's grades have almost no deductions, but I racked my brains for the last math problem on the exam and couldn't figure it out. Could Brother Yun please take some time to give me some guidance? If I encounter this kind of problem next time, I won't be as helpless as I was this time..."

"That's right, Brother Yun, please give me some advice..."

After hearing this, Yun Jing did not get carried away, but instead told everyone what he thought and learned.

However, arithmetic problems are not essays. Even if he tells everyone the techniques and everyone quickly writes them down, they may not be able to understand them. They can only try their best to understand this type of problem.

And the other side.

Chen Shou and his companions looked at Yun Jing, who was surrounded by countless students and was flattering them with all kinds of fawning and nodding. His face turned as green as a pool of stagnant water.

He only got fifth place, and ranked behind Wang Ye. Even Wang Ye, who had been against him that day, got third place.

In this exam, the top three were still known to everyone, but he, the fifth place, seemed so dull.

"Thorn-"

He tore the cuffs in his hand, snorted coldly, and turned away.

Yun Jing finally found time to leave. Being surrounded and blocked by so many people, and having to keep a gentle smile all the time, he really felt a little tired. He just wanted to get back to the inn quickly and tell his aunt the good news that she was on the list.

Just as a few people were about to leave, the square suddenly became lively.

The group was dressed in red, and the tall horses in front were tied with big red flowers. They looked like a couple coming to pick up their bride, but there was no sedan chair or groom in the crowd.

The group finally arrived at the place where the results were announced, and the sounds of gongs and drums gradually stopped.

Hundreds of students couldn't help but talk about this scene.

"What's going on? There's all this music and dancing, but no sign of the groom."

"It can't be that they're trying to capture a son-in-law from the list, but the candidates they're capturing are all candidates, and these scholars shouldn't be so fussy as to make such a big fuss."

"What's wrong with the scholars? The first and second place scholars are also future candidates. If we catch them now, we can save time waiting and don't have to worry about others getting there first."

"What you said seems to make sense."

"..."
