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

The atmosphere at the scene froze for a moment. Everyone was stunned by Yun Zhenzhen's performance and looked at her blankly.

"You damned girl." After Old Lady Yun came to her senses, she pointed at Yun Zhenzhen and started to curse her: "You are such a rotten heart and lung. I told you to give Jing Ge'er a few more bundles of Xiu, where have you been? Are you..."

"We don't have any food left at home." Yun Zhenzhen interrupted her coldly.

"So?" Old Lady Yun paused for three seconds, then cursed even louder: "You money-loser, you can't even come up with this little money. You said you wanted to support Brother Jing to study hard, but what have you been doing all these years? You've lived in vain!"

"All these years? Haven't I given you all the good food and drinks? What should I offer? My blood and my flesh?" Yun Zhenzhen shouted loudly.

Old Mrs. Yun was stunned by the yelling. Perhaps she felt embarrassed, so she sat down on the ground, slapping her thigh and crying.

"Okay, I worked so hard to raise you, and now you're saying this to me, it's really unfilial!"

In the end, Old Lady Yun scolded her and even accused her of being unfilial. Although she didn't know why her daughter, who usually obeyed her in everything, seemed like a different person, she had to keep her under control because she had to rely on her to provide money and effort for her eldest grandson.

"Really?" Yun Zhenzhen also knew what she was planning. "You've already sold me, haven't you? You took five taels of silver. As the old saying goes, a daughter who's married off is like water spilled. So a daughter sold is like spit out. Are you trying to lick it back, huh?"

As Yun Zhenzhen finished speaking, whispers were heard all around.

"This old lady Yun is really cruel. She said it was her own daughter, but she never said so much when she collected the money."

"That's right. I heard that she didn't get a penny of the money. Isn't that just selling her daughter?"

"She is also pitiful. She became a widow at such a young age and has to take care of three children. Life is also difficult."

Yun Zhenzhen listened to the voices around her, her lips curled up slightly. She wanted to let the whole village know about her changes, that she would live a good life, and that her children would not be bullied.

The chatter gradually died down, and Yun Zhenzhen, seizing the opportunity, continued, "I won't tell you how many good things I've brought home over the years, but a few days ago, I just wanted to go home and borrow some food, and you had my eldest brother kick me out without a second thought. It really chilled my heart."

"Now my daughter just wants to stay at home and live her life. Don't you want to stop me?"

When Old Lady Yun saw everyone's reactions, she secretly exclaimed in her heart, "Oh no!"

"If you want me to continue supporting you, that's fine. Just return my five taels of betrothal gift first, and then we can discuss everything."

"Why?" Old Lady Yun retorted subconsciously.

Over the years, the family’s food and drink, as well as Jing’er’s schooling, have all been spent. How could they have the money to pay back? Otherwise, they wouldn’t have come all the way here to find their daughter.

"Why?" Yun Zhenzhen asked with a playful smile, her eyes hinting at her: "Do you want me to calculate how much money you've given to your parents over the years?"

When Old Lady Yun heard this, her heart sank and the smile on her face froze. She certainly knew what her eldest daughter-in-law was talking about.

But she is his daughter, so shouldn't he take the money? If anyone should be blamed, blame Qin Shouze. He didn't have the life to enjoy life and died out there like this.

Now it seems that I need to find a suitable time to teach my daughter a lesson. I can't let her stop paying tribute to Jing Ge'er.

After Yun Zhenzhen finished speaking, she ignored everyone, packed up her things and went straight home, closing the door with a "bang". Mrs. Yun didn't even come in.

Seeing that there was nothing interesting to watch, everyone dispersed on their own accord. Only Old Lady Yun was still cursing outside, and there was no movement inside for a long time.

Seeing this, he could only walk away cursing and rubbing his butt.

Yun Zhenzhen returned home, fetched a basin of water and asked the boys to wash their faces thoroughly, and also washed a handful of plums.

Yun Zhenzhen brought the plums to the siblings and said, "You all heard what I just said. I want to live a good life and be good to you, okay?"

Little Qin Nan was still young and didn't understand all those twists and turns. He nodded obediently, and the two brothers remained silent.

Yun Zhenzhen didn't care about their reactions and went straight to the kitchen. She didn't know how to get along with children, but it was always right to be nice to them.

I asked the second brother to boil a pot of hot water and then started to process the pheasant neatly.

After finishing the plum in his hand, Qin Nan staggered over, looked at the pheasant in Yun Zhenzhen's hand, and spoke timidly.

"Chicken...where did you buy that big fat chicken?"

Yun Zhenzhen looked at the little girl's thin body, her heart full of pity. It was obviously a very thin pheasant, and it was a rare thing in this family where they didn't see any meat for a year.

"This isn't something I bought. It's a pheasant that Mom caught in the back mountains. I'll stew it for Xiaonan later, okay?"

"Eating chicken, yay..." Qin Nan's little face was full of joy.

Yun Zhenzhen was talking but her hands never stopped moving. She scalded the chicken with boiling water for a while, then plucked the feathers, gutted it, cleaned it, chopped it into small pieces, and piled them together.

Qin Wen wandered around the kitchen door, occasionally peeking in. His face was full of disbelief as he looked at the mountain of chicken in the basin, but at the same time, he revealed a hint of anticipation.

"Qin Wen, go boil a pot of water."

Qin Wen was stunned: "Boil...boil water?"

Yun Zhenzhen looked at the hesitant Qin Wen, and then she remembered that the living habit in Qinjia Village was to have two meals a day. Now that there was no food at home, they had long since changed it to one meal a day.

I just finished drinking the wild vegetable porridge before going out. Even if I finish it today, I have to wait until tomorrow to have the next meal.

As the old saying goes, little brats can eat me into poverty.

I made wild vegetable porridge this afternoon, and each person got a palm-sized portion. I wasn’t even full, let alone the two kids.

"Go quickly, or you won't get any share if you don't eat later." After hearing the promise, Qin Wen ran into the kitchen.

Looking at Qin Wen's thin figure, Yun Zhenzhen felt a little emotional. Who would have thought that she would realize her wish of becoming a mother painlessly in this place? Since she had traveled through time and space, she had the responsibility to take good care of these children. It could be considered a comfort to herself in this other world.

Heat the pan, pour in the chicken and stir-fry until the oil comes out. Pour out the excess oil into a bowl, and you can stir-fry some wild vegetables later.

After frying until the surface is browned, add two ladles of water to the pot and simmer it. Then take some wild vegetables from the backpack. After everything is cleaned up, the chicken in the pot has started to bubble.

The family was poor and had no food, so Yun Zhenzhen had no choice but to shamelessly knock on the door of her neighbor's aunt.
