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

Chen's face was filled with emotion, and she then looked at Yun Zhenzhen: "Sister-in-law, I did a lot of bad things in the past, but you kept buying me gifts. This time you gave me something so precious. I was really too much before..."

When she thought about how precious the thing in her hand was, she felt a little guilty.

"Mom, what is this?" Erdan ran over and stretched out his hand to play with it: "This box is so beautiful, give it to me, I want to play with it."

"Why do you want everything, kid? Go play somewhere else." Chen knocked on his head and said, "This is a good thing your third aunt gave to your mother. How can I let you waste it?"

Then she swiftly put the small box into her pocket.

Yun Zhenzhen couldn't help but laugh, then continued to take the gifts from everyone: "Here are two new jackets. Now that spring has arrived, they are just right for working in the fields. There are also snacks for the children. I also bought a lot of hair ornaments. The little girls can share them. There are also new brushes. The children at home who are studying can pick them first..."

Several children immediately accepted the gifts happily.

Old Man Qin looked at his gift with a smile and ran over with concern: "Third daughter-in-law, did your trip go smoothly this time? I hope you won't be leaving for a while after returning. If there is anything you need at home, please feel free to contact me..."

After saying that, he immediately picked up the hoe next to him and started to help loosen the soil.

"When will this old man change his impatient temper?" Old Mrs. Qin looked at him speechlessly. "It's getting late, so I should go in and help with the cooking. I can rest early after dinner."

In the kitchen, the eldest son and several children in the family were busy. He was the head chef, Yuncan helped cut vegetables and prepare food, and the other children helped with lighting the fire and assisting.

As soon as Mrs. Qin entered the room, she took the spatula skillfully and started working directly: "Third daughter-in-law, everyone is here right now. If you see anything else you need help with, just ask directly. Ask your eldest sister-in-law and the others to help together. This way it will be faster."

The meal went on smoothly with everyone's help. Because the ingredients were diverse and many vegetables in the garden were edible, the table was full.

In addition to chicken, duck, fish and meat, there are also various braised dishes filling the table.

"I see you bought some large prawns over there, so have my sister-in-law and the others come in and help shred the shrimp. I'll make you a new dish today." Yun Zhenzhen said with a smile, "Crush the shredded shrimp into a paste and make meatballs. They're delicious and tender."

She had wanted to make this dish for a long time but never had the chance. Today was a good day for her to make it and enjoy it freshly while everyone was here.

Upon hearing this, Chen in the yard immediately agreed attentively: "No problem, I promise to clean up your prawns thoroughly."

Yun Chengcheng came back from the town. She had just seen her sister come back, so she went to the town to put up a sign saying the business was closed. Today was their family reunion dinner, so the whole family had to be together.

"Oh, there are quite a few lively prawns in here." Chen looked at them in amazement. "It's all thanks to my sister-in-law. I've never seen such rare things before."

"Sister-in-law, this thing can easily hurt your hands. My younger sister and I have dealt with it before. Let me teach you how to do it more conveniently." Yun Chengcheng came over to help with a smile.

There were wisps of smoke wafting over the kitchen, and from time to time one could smell a mouth-watering aroma. In the yard, there were also the noisy chattering of a few children.

Yun Zhenzhen saw that the kitchen was in order, and walked outside to look at the account book that Old Lady Qin had just brought in.

Awen has always been in charge of this matter, and then handed it over to Yun Zhenzhen for review and proofreading. The two of them assisted each other, and this notebook has already filled up a thick volume.

Awen also flexibly applied the accounting method that Yun Zhenzhen taught him before. It was clear at a glance, so he finished looking through the accounts of the past few months very quickly.

Seeing her checking the account book, Old Lady Qin wiped her hands and came over. "Production in the woolen workshop is now very stable. We can make 50 blankets in three days. But I'm afraid there won't be enough wool material. I'm afraid we will have to stop production... We have a lot of people now. Let's see if we can prepare other work."

"Yes, I wasn't idle during my trip to the city this time. I was thinking about the moisturizing cream I brought you, and I wondered if we could try developing one." Yun Zhenzhen said with a smile, "Things sold in the city are very expensive and can only be used by wealthy ladies. We can develop an affordable one that all women can use. After all, every woman loves beauty."

Old Lady Qin's eyes lit up: "Yes, we happen to have the manpower locally. It's just that researching this thing must be very difficult. Can we do it just by relying on us?"

"Don't worry, I bought a lot of books and brought them back. We can study them together later." Yun Zhenzhen closed the account book in her hand.

At this moment, Qin Shouren also came over with the braised meat account book. According to the method Awen taught him, he now had no problem keeping simple accounts.

It records the daily income and the daily net profit after deducting costs. Everything is recorded clearly in a table format, but the handwriting is not as beautiful as Awen's, which makes it a bit difficult to read.

In the first month of the new year, the braised meat business had made a profit of eighty taels of silver, and she could get thirty-two taels of silver, which was also a huge income and expenditure.

"Third sister-in-law, it's really thanks to you that we two brothers have this profitable business." Qin Shouren and his brother's faces were full of gratitude: "We can earn so much money in a month. If it weren't for you, I'm afraid we wouldn't be able to save it in our entire lives. We two brothers really can't imagine it. Thanks to you, we can live a good life."

Yun Zhenzhen smiled and said, "It's all because of your hard work and dedication every day that we have such good results. I just gave you a solution."

If the two brothers of the Qin family had not gotten up early and worked late every day, I probably wouldn't have earned so much, and I wouldn't have gotten such a large share. In fact, I should thank them.

"Here's some freshly braised meat we made today. I brought it here especially for you to try. You can also give me some suggestions." Qin Shouren handed over the basket in his hand. "These are all fresh game we asked hunters for. We cleaned them and braised them ourselves. Using your method can effectively remove the fishy smell. This is the first batch. Try it. If it's good, I'll make more..."

Yun Zhenzhen took it and weighed it. Wow, the weight must be about ten or twenty kilograms. It's really heavy.

She did not refuse and happily took it into the kitchen. After all, hunting was not allowed in their time, and she had never eaten wild game before. Today was a good opportunity to try something new.
