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

She quickly broke free and whispered, "There are so many people around here, don't make a move, or someone will see us."

"Oh, I missed you so much." Zhang Qiang pinched her waist and his hands moved up and down unconsciously.

"Are you crazy? Pulling and tugging here." Aunt Fugui pulled off his claws.

"Okay, okay." Zhang Qiang patted her butt. "Do you want to go to my house or the woods?"

Aunt Fugui rolled her eyes and held out her hands: "Give me money, or I'll go home and take care of my husband."

Zhang Qiang cursed and took out two copper coins from his pocket, stuffed them into her chest, and then dragged her into the woods not far away. There was a rustling sound.

Three minutes later, silence returned to the woods.

......

After the family packed up everything, it was already late at night. Several people returned to the house and fell asleep almost as soon as they hit the bed.

"Cuckoo-"

Early the next morning, the crowing of roosters woke up the hazy Qinjia Village.

Yun Zhenzhen looked up and saw the morning light outside the window. It was still early, so she decided to take a nap.

She closed her eyes, turned over and fell asleep. When she opened her eyes again, it was already bright outside. Yun Zhenzhen sat up with a start.

I was so scared, I thought I was late for eight o'clock.

When I opened the gate, I saw Erya sitting on a bench, chopping wild vegetables to feed the chickens. She also caught a lot of earthworms to improve the chickens' food.

Yun Zhenzhen smiled and said, "Erya, don't chop it. These are enough to feed the chickens for several days."

"It's okay, Third Aunt, save it for them to eat in the afternoon." The second girl replied without even looking up: "Hurry up and finish it now, so you can do more work later."

Yun Zhenzhen couldn't help but laugh. What an honest child. In that case, let her stay for dinner.

Sun rise.

Qin Li came in with a hoe on his back. When the sun just rose, he had already gone to till the soil and apply fertilizer.

Qin Wen was making breakfast in the kitchen, and even Xiao Nan got up early to help feed the chickens.

Yun Zhenzhen couldn't help but sigh, wondering if she had ended up living a life of relying on her parents for support and her children for support.

For breakfast, they had wild vegetable pancakes, which were made by mixing flour with wild vegetables. Qin Wen also imitated his stepmother and beat an egg into the pan. He dripped a few drops of oil into the pan and baked the pancakes until both sides were golden brown. The fragrance could be smelled before they were even out of the pan.

This was Qin Wen’s first time making pancakes. At first he didn’t control the heat well and only burned two of them. But he became more and more skilled after that.

Each person in the family got two big pancakes, and including Erya, a total of ten pancakes were baked.

"It's time to eat." Qin Wen's voice came from the kitchen.

Hearing that dinner was about to start, Erya put down the kitchen knife and gathered the wild vegetables. "Aunt San, I'll be back this afternoon."

"Don't go." Yun Zhenzhen grabbed her and said, "Why are you in such a hurry? Let's have breakfast at Third Aunt's house first."

Erya quickly shook her head: "My mother said that we can't stay at other people's houses during mealtime. The situation is bad now, and other people's homes don't have extra food."

Although she never had enough to eat every day and could smell the fragrance coming from the kitchen, Third Aunt was taking care of so many children by herself, so if she ate a bite, they would have one less bite to eat.

Thinking of this, Erya resolutely ran out of the door.

Seeing that she couldn't persuade the girl, Yun Zhenzhen hurried into the kitchen, took out two pancakes, and chased after her to stuff them into her hands.

"Er Ya, take it. Is Third Aunt still an outsider?"

"Aunt San, I don't..."

Yun Zhenzhen didn't give her a chance to speak. She just stuffed the money into her hand and turned back to the house.

Erya stared at her back in a daze and had to hold the pancake in her hand tightly.

The boys in the room haven't started eating yet, waiting for Yun Zhenzhen to come back.

After sitting down, several people ate voraciously. The food was made entirely of white flour with eggs added. It was very filling and gave them enough energy to work for the whole morning.

After dinner, Aunt Zhao also came over, and the group started to get busy again. No one had a break in the past few days.

The agreement I made with Yaoyuelou is to get sugar in the middle of the month, making a month's supply at a time, and try to finish making the smoothie candy. I can also find other ways to make a living.

Dozens of kilograms of vegetables were delivered from outside one after another. Yun Zhenzhen paid for them one by one. Looking at the yard full of food, she felt an indescribable sense of security in her heart.

At dinner that day, the boy, who had worked hard for several days, was silent when he saw the same three dishes on the table: pancakes, hot and sour konjac noodles, and wild vegetable soup.

Seeing that the children didn't move their chopsticks, Yun Zhenzhen said helplessly: "I've been too busy recently and haven't had time to make delicious food. After this batch of sugar is made, I will make braised pork for you and then research a few new dishes."

Hearing this, the boys picked up the biscuits and started eating.

After another three or five days of hard work, they finally finished making all the sugar for this month. The villagers gradually sent hundreds of kilograms of vegetables, and only then were they able to make 120 kilograms of shaved sugar.

Qin Li had several big blisters on his hands, and Aunt Zhao soaked in water every day, and her fingers turned white.

After giving the candy to Zhang Hong, Yun Zhenzhen returned to the house with the heavy silver and settled the bills with Aunt Zhao and Erya.

Excluding the money he paid to the villagers for vegetables and the cost of helping them these days, he earned more than five taels of silver this time. Adding in what he had saved before, the family now has a total of fifteen taels of cash.

Yes, Yun Zhenzhen decided to give everyone a day off. Everyone will have a day off today.

Yun Zhenzhen went into the kitchen, rolled some small balls with starch, and boiled them in sugar water. A homemade dessert was ready.

Lying by the stone table in the yard, drinking sugar water and enjoying the cool breeze, with the whole family together, it is so comfortable.

All you see is mountain products and potato chips all over the ground, and strings of red peppers hanging from the beams. Taking a sip of the sweet water, this life is so comfortable.

"Mom~" Qin Nan leaned against her, his face filled with happiness: "How did you make this (chew chew chew)? It's really (chew chew chew) so (chew chew chew) delicious!"

"Hahahahahahahahahaha." Yun Zhenzhen pinched Xiaonan's gradually emerging baby fat. This little guy was so cute.

Everything is thriving at the moment, but it is only temporary. The children at home need to go to school, and we need to spend money on pots and pans, food, clothing, housing and transportation.

The wild vegetables on the mountain are not endless. After September, they will be out of season. I still need to make cotton-padded clothes and quilts for winter. And this house is not warm at all. It needs to be rebuilt, otherwise I am afraid it will not survive this cold winter...

Yun Zhenzhen was lost in thought when suddenly a loud noise came from outside the door, accompanied by a woman's crying.

Several people stood up almost at the same time.

"What's going on outside?"

Yun Zhenzhen drank the remaining sugar water in one gulp, then walked out the door, with the boys following her happily.

"Hurry! Hurry!! Where is Uncle Niu's ox cart? Has he called for help? Hurry and save my son, hurry!"

"Son, hold on, open your eyes and look at your father."

As the four of them approached, they saw a large group of people gathered at the Song family's door, and the shouting came from inside.

Yun Zhenzhen frowned. The voice sounded familiar, but she couldn't remember it. Qin Li, who was standing next to her, blurted it out.

"That's Uncle Song Shang's voice. Could something have happened to his son Song Yuan?"

Yun Zhenzhen pushed through the crowd and went to the innermost part, where she saw a woman sitting on the ground holding a child and crying loudly. The child in her arms had a dark blue face and was twitching all over.

Song Peng shouted with bloodshot eyes: "Quick, hitch the car!"

An aunt saw Yun Zhenzhen squeeze in and quickly explained, "The child was happily eating plums in the yard. I don't know what happened, but he suddenly couldn't breathe. It's really pitiful."

At this moment, his mother Yun Duo suddenly screamed.

"what!!!"

"Son, why aren't you moving? My son!!"

Song Shang ran over anxiously and found that the child who had been struggling violently had stopped moving his chest.
