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

After the two finished talking, Yun Zhenzhen turned around and prepared to go home.

The method has been proposed, and whether it can be successful depends on the village chief's eloquence.

Yun Zhenzhen pushed open the gate and looked at the several wooden barrels in the yard. She couldn't return them for the time being, so she took a few eggs that the Song family had sent yesterday and walked towards the old house.

It was completely dark and everyone in the village was lying at home to cool off.

The brothers Qin Shouren and Qin Shouyi had just cut down a big tree, cut it into small sections, dragged it home, and asked Old Man Qin to chop it into pieces.

Jiang and Chen sat in the yard mending clothes. When they had nothing to do, they would embroider a handkerchief, which they could exchange for a few cents in the town.

As soon as Yun Zhenzhen walked in, she attracted everyone's attention.

Chen saw a slight glint in her eyes. After not seeing her for a few days, her third sister-in-law had become even plumper and her skin had become much whiter. It was true that people with some money were different.

Chen was thinking this, and her words were full of bitterness: "Third sister-in-law is living a good life now. Why didn't she buy a bucket with the money? Why did she have to borrow it from someone?"

Upon hearing this, Jiang looked over and sighed softly. She thought her second brother's wife was too stingy. It was just borrowing a bucket, but why was she holding on to it?

Yun Zhenzhen didn't bother to pay attention to her. She walked straight in and took out a few eggs from the bowl and put them on the table.

Old Mrs. Qin couldn't help but feel strange when she saw Yun Zhenzhen standing in the yard. She had always asked Xiaowen to come over in the past, but why did she come in person today?

This is the first time she has returned to the old house after the separation.

Then she looked at the bowl on the table next to her and saw several white eggs. This was a good thing. But then she thought about the several children in the third brother's family who needed to be raised, and she couldn't help nagging.

"Third brother's wife, this thing is precious. You can take it to town and exchange it for some money. Why bring it to us? Wouldn't it be wasted if the white-eyed wolf eats it?"

After saying that, he didn't forget to give Chen a fierce look.

Yun Zhenzhen also smiled and said, "Mom, this is what the Song family sent yesterday. It's a big basket. I thought I'd bring it over for you two to try."

Seeing that Old Lady Qin was still about to refuse, she quickly said, "Shou Ze is gone, and the children at home are still young. Just consider it as me fulfilling my filial duty on Shou Ze's behalf."

When Old Mrs. Qin heard this, she felt distressed and liked the third son's wife even more. She just felt sorry for her poor youngest son.

Yun Zhenzhen continued, "I came here to tell you that I might have to borrow that wooden barrel for a few days to see if it would cause any inconvenience at the old house."

"If it's inconvenient, just take it."

Old man Qin, who had been silent all this time, suddenly spoke. As soon as Yun Zhenzhen entered the room, she saw him fiddling with something over there, but she couldn't understand it and didn't say much.

Only now did he realize that he had several formed wooden barrels at hand.

"See if what we have at home is enough." Old Man Qin pushed the finished wooden barrels out. "Here are some freshly made ones. Take a few more back."

Yun Zhenzhen looked at the kind smiles on the old people's faces and suddenly felt that they seemed to be slowly accepting her.

The smile in response also had a bit more sincerity.

"Yes, just bring me two."

Old Man Qin put away his tools and said, "Come and get them tomorrow. I'm going to ask Carpenter Wang at the end of the village to apply a coat of oil. It will last a long time, and you won't have to spend money on buying buckets anymore."

Sure enough, things from the older generation are durable.

Yun Zhenzhen smiled and left ten copper coins, then left the house before the old lady could react.

The old lady looked at the copper coins on the table and said, "Okay, I'll save money for my grandson to find a wife."

After she left, Chen rushed out and said, "Why should we give her our own bucket for free and even make her a new one? Chopping wood is not difficult, it's all done by our husband."

The old man and old lady in the family are too partial.

As soon as she finished speaking, the old lady walked up to her and pointed at her nose and scolded her: "You shallow-minded thing, do you think others are as petty as you? The third daughter-in-law is capable."

After saying that, he stuffed the copper coin into his arms.

Only then did Chen see the copper coin in her hand, and her face turned red instantly. She thought her third sister-in-law was taking the bucket for free, but she didn't expect that she actually paid for it.

No matter how good the wooden barrel is, it is not as valuable as money. You can buy several of them in town for five cents. In the end, you will be left alone like a clown.

I was even more indignant inside. Why didn't my third brother's wife tell me earlier that she was giving me money? Didn't she just want to see me make a fool of myself in front of everyone?

......

early morning.

The sky was just beginning to turn pale, and the sun had not yet risen. It was the coolest time of the day.

The two boys in the family went to the fields early, and the two little boys worked very efficiently.

Xiao Nan also got up early and played with the chickens in the yard.

Yun Zhenzhen walked into the kitchen to prepare today's breakfast. She wanted to try out some new dishes recently. She was tired of eating the same few dishes every day.

In less than an hour, the two brothers returned from the fields. The sun rose and the temperature in the air rose by several degrees.

For breakfast, I just drink some porridge and eat a few white flour pancakes.

Unfortunately, Yun Zhenzhen is from the south and doesn’t even know how to knead dough to make steamed buns. The dumplings she ate at home in her previous life were frozen and the noodles were ready-made.

I'll learn more when I have a chance.

After dinner, Yun Zhenzhen wanted to go out and ask the village chief what had happened with the matter they had discussed yesterday. As soon as her hand touched the door handle, she heard the door being slammed.

The knocking was so loud that several children in the room poked their heads out.

Yun Zhenzhen was puzzled. It was so early, weren't people busy finishing their work before lunch? Who could possibly come to her house?

The door opened the next second.

"Who... Manager Xu? Why are you here in person?"

The person standing outside the door was none other than Manager Xu of Yaoyue Tower. His usually amiable face now had a hint of anxiety. He was breathing heavily and looked like he was coming in aggressively.

He didn't exchange any pleasantries, but walked straight into the house, sat down, and asked directly, "Did you sell the candy you sold me from Yaoyue Tower to others?"

When these words were spoken, Yun Zhenzhen was stunned and said with a frown.

"How is that possible? I promised to provide for your family only. How could I go back on my word?"

"You have to explain clearly."

Shopkeeper Xu was so angry that he laughed. Didn't he come here to call for an explanation? But how come he was intimidated by a little girl?

However, seeing Yun Zhenzhen's frank face and the child's puzzled face, he relaxed. He didn't believe that Madam Yun would be treacherous in the first place, and he came here today just to find out the whole story.

Then he swallowed his saliva, asked Zhang Hong to close the gate, and then he told the story.
