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

outside the house.

The father and son were arguing fiercely. After listening to Mr. Wang's explanation, Wang Ye still looked unconvinced.

"Although I'm lustful and jealous, I did some wrong things before, but I know I was wrong now. Since I've decided to befriend them, I want to make friends with them sincerely. Why must it be tied to profit?"

"Aye, although father did make some small requests, it's not self-serving and it's a mutually beneficial thing." Master Wang said earnestly. He didn't want his son to be alienated because of this matter. "Ruyi'an may be capable and have a bad reputation, but when it comes to business, I am the most worthy one. A relationship with her will definitely benefit them a lot."

At this point, he patted Wang Ye's shoulder helplessly and said, "I'm doing this for our family business. I hope to help you in your career in the future. Even if Brother Yun needs help, we have the ability to do it. The children of your generation are well-educated and know how to advance and retreat. Your father knows everything, but he doesn't understand the ways of the world. Your father hopes to be a good backing for you while you are still able to work. You must understand your father's painstaking efforts."

Wang Ye pursed his lips and lowered his head in thought.

He knew that his father would never harm him, but this method was really hard to accept.

Forget it, I'll repay them after I pass the imperial examination.

The day just passed.

Early the next morning.

Before dawn, Yun Jing was already in the room reviewing his lessons with his books.

Yun Zhenzhen and a few others were preparing to pack up and go home. They had bought a lot of things in the past few days, and they needed to be properly organized before taking them back.

Several people helped to pack up the things and soon everything was packed. One carriage was vacated to store various miscellaneous items, and the other two carriages were used for people.

Just as the group walked out of the inn and were about to get on the car, a luxurious carriage came towards them and stopped directly in front of them.

The door curtain was lifted, and sitting inside was the Zheng couple.

Zheng Yuanwai was the first to get off the carriage, followed by several servants, all carrying large and small bags in their hands. Some of the boxes were very exquisite, and it was obvious that they had been carefully crafted.

"I greet Ruyi'an." Zheng Yuanwai immediately stepped forward and bowed warmly. "I heard that you are leaving Yuzhou today, so I brought some gifts and local specialties to see you off. I hope Ruyi'an will not mind."

Madam Zheng nodded repeatedly. "We didn't plan well yesterday and almost made a big mistake. Now we know we were wrong. Please don't hold it against us, Ruyi'an."

The Zheng family came with such a large presence that they blocked the street, instantly attracting everyone's attention.

When everyone saw this scene, they immediately became interested, and some even ran back to tell their good friends.

What happened yesterday had already become known to everyone due to everyone's hype, so everyone came over immediately.

"Look, this is the Zheng family I told you about yesterday. They are very cunning. They kidnapped the scholar without asking for his consent and wanted to make it a fait accompli."

"I've heard that too. That scholar is Ruyi'an's nephew. How could he be manipulated by him? I didn't expect that he would be bitten by a tough nut this time."

"I heard that the governor went there in person. Tsk, tsk, tsk, the excitement of this matter is not over yet. We have offended two great Buddhas at once."

"Oh my god, you guys said this is Ruyi'an. I live in this inn and I run into her every day. I didn't expect the legendary Ruyi'an to be so down-to-earth and not at all arrogant."

"Of course. After all, he rose from the ranks of the common people. He understands the suffering of the common people and naturally won't be extravagant."

"A lot of the Zheng family's businesses are going to be affected now. My nephew from my mother's side has business dealings with them and is now preparing to terminate the contract."

"Oh, that's what you deserve..."

All kinds of discussions were heard from the crowd, and the contempt of the crowd made the Zheng family unable to raise their heads.

It didn't matter that the Zheng family's reputation was ruined, but I didn't expect that it would implicate my own daughter...

There are many rumors out there now, saying that their daughter is not only ugly but also has a very rude character, which is why they came up with the idea of ​​finding a son-in-law through the list.

When she thought of this, Mrs. Zheng's heart ached even more: "Mrs. Ruyi, we really know we were wrong. We apologize for everything we did before. We hope you can forgive our ignorance and please accept these gifts."

Yun Zhenzhen looked at the scene and said indifferently, "I'm not the type to care about things. Let the past be the past. I hope you can be more careful with your words and actions in the future and not bring disaster to the village. I won't accept this thing, and you can go back."

After saying this, without waiting for the Zheng family's reaction, he got on the carriage directly. After everyone was seated, the coachman shouted and the carriage slowly drove away.

Lai Fu rode his carriage and followed behind, and the convoy slowly drove out of Yuzhou City.

This time I left Qinjia Village and stayed outside for nearly half a month. Now the weather is gradually warming up, and it has been March before I knew it.

Yun Zhenzhen was sitting in the carriage. After several recent long-distance journeys, she had gradually become accustomed to the bumpy ride. She often leaned back in the carriage with her eyes closed to rest, and occasionally admired the scenery outside the window.

When we first left the city, there was a wide official road outside, but as we gradually walked towards the village, it turned into a bumpy mud road. The carriage became more bumpy, making people feel a little dizzy.

But at this moment, the fence road has been widened and built very smoothly. Needless to say, this must be the masterpiece of the new Mr. Zhang. In order to transport Yan more quickly, this has also greatly increased the convenience of Qinjia Village.

When she was bored on the road, Yun Zhenzhen lifted the car curtain and admired the beautiful scenery of Qinjia Village.

In just ten days, the scenery is now green. The roadside is full of newly sprouted grass, and people working in the fields can be seen everywhere. It is a lively sight.

The carriage was getting closer and closer to Qinjia Village. We could see more and more people coming into the village, many of whom were helping to build rows of new houses near the top of the mountain.

In addition to the places where officials work, the rest are houses where officials live. They are neatly built in rows and are pleasing to the eye.

Not far away, many men were working hard. Transporting salt from the salt lake required a lot of manpower and material resources.

Not far from the salt lake, you can see lots of chicks and geese. These are the ones the villagers bought from the street after making some money this year. They'll lay eggs and last for the New Year. They can be slaughtered for meat, and on weekdays, they'll just have to go out and forage for food, killing two birds with one stone.
