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

Yun Jing grabbed Old Lady Yun's hand and took the silver out of his pocket: "Grandma, you taught me when we were little that we can't take things that don't belong to us. This silver belongs to my aunt, it has nothing to do with us."

Old Lady Yun didn't want to hand over the silver, but she said stubbornly, "Brother Jing, this is quite a lot of silver. Your aunt is also a member of our Yun family. It's okay to give you some. Please keep some..."

Yun Jing didn't listen to him at all and gave all the silver to Yun Zhenzhen.

She also accepted it with a smile. It was originally the money given to her, so she should take it.

Seeing that she had truly accepted the silver with a clear conscience, Old Lady Yun's expression darkened and she walked towards her: "You are the child's biological aunt, how dare you accept all the silver and leave him nothing..."

Seeing that she dared to threaten Yun Zhenzhen, Yun Jing's face turned cold.

"Grandma, if you continue like this, I will never study again."

After these words were spoken, Old Lady Yun suddenly became quiet and didn't dare to speak again. She could only look at the silver ingot in Yun Zhenzhen's arms with pain in her heart.

"Okay, grandma will listen to you. Let's go home." Old Mrs. Yun said as she was about to come over to hold Yun Jing's hand.

Qin Wen and his sister behind him were a little anxious. After spending some time together, they really liked playing with this cousin. In his spare time, he would teach them a lot of knowledge they had never heard of and tell them about the outside world.

They liked this cousin and were reluctant to let him go. They were also worried that Old Lady Yun would be angry because she didn't get the money and would not let him come over in the future.

"I'm not going home." Yun Jing firmly shook off Old Lady Yun's hand. "It's the busy farming season now, and we need help at home. I'm going to stay at my aunt's house and go back after I'm done with the work."

The villagers who were watching the show on the side did not expect that he would be so resolute. He was a good student and had never suffered any fatigue since he was a child. He did not even feel the hardship of farming.

Yun Zhenzhen had anticipated this. This child was mature and would not leave until he had paid back his family's debt and his family needed help.

Besides, his studies are not settled yet, so there is no point in him going home.

It wasn't without its benefits for him to stay with her. She heard from him that the exams in previous years were all about writing essays, drawn from the Four Books and Five Classics, and the questions would be related to current affairs. In the past two years, there had been either drought or disease, so she guessed that these would be tested.

Yun Jing personally participated in pest control and autumn harvest, which was a combination of theory and practice. His answers would be more novel and more practical.

This is also his advantage.

Old Mrs. Yun wanted to say something, but knowing her grandson's personality, she couldn't persuade him, so she had to give up.

"Grandma, don't worry, I know what's going on." Yun Jing patted her soothingly, "You go home first. I'll be back as soon as I'm done here."

After hearing this, Old Lady Yun walked back unhappily.

Every time grandma came over, she would cause a huge commotion and make others laugh at my aunt, which made him feel very guilty.

Yun Jing was about to speak with a guilty look on his face, but Yun Zhenzhen spoke first, "The wheat at home hasn't been dried yet. You go back first and dry the wheat with the eldest brother."

Yun Jing nodded slightly.

"Village Chief, let's go look at the land first." Yun Zhenzhen turned to look at Old Lady Qin: "Mom, you can come with us. Please help me take a closer look and make a decision on this matter as soon as possible."

Old Mrs. Qin also nodded hurriedly. It would be better to settle it as soon as possible. It would be unsafe to keep so much money in the house.

The village chief also brought his son, and Old Lady Qin took Qin Shouren and Qin Shouyi with her. A group of people were measuring and recording there. Everything was written clearly in black and white. After taking it to the town to get its stamp tomorrow, this piece of land will belong to Yun Zhenzhen.

Yun Zhenzhen followed to see the terrain clearly, and became more certain that this was the sandy land she had seen in her previous life.

After the group of people finished their work, it was already evening.

Yun Zhenzhen insisted on inviting a bunch of people to her home. The village chief and Old Lady Qin couldn't refuse, so they had to follow her.

Cut the pork belly we just bought into large slices. Since there are many people here today, cut it into slices and stir-fry the pork slices with fresh mushrooms so that everyone can have a few bites.

I also went to Song Shang's house to buy an old hen to make soup. I added dried mushrooms and stewed a big pot of chicken and mushrooms. The soup was fresh and delicious.

I picked a basket of newly ripened bok choy from the backyard, stir-fried it with lard, and added some dried chilies for flavor.

The basket of eggs that Yun Duo sent me last time was not finished yet, so I picked out five eggs and beat them into the pot to make a large plate of sweet and sour eggs.

She thought of the number of people who went to measure the land together during the day, including three or four young and middle-aged men. She was worried that they would not have enough to eat, so she baked a dozen potato pancakes in the chicken soup pot to ensure that everyone could eat their fill.

I originally wanted to use white rice as the staple food, but it was too ostentatious, so I gave up after thinking about it. I took out two large bowls of corn from the bag of corn next to me and made corn rice.

A group of people were chatting in the yard. Soon, the aroma of cooking oil wafted from the kitchen. After a day's work, everyone's stomach was rumbling.

Yun Zhenzhen walked into the yard, and the village chief stood up and handed over a stack of land deeds.

"Mr. Shuze, please check if the deed is correct. If it is, let's go to the town to get it stamped tomorrow and settle this matter as soon as possible."

Yun Zhenzhen had never seen a land deed from this era. She wiped her hands, took it solemnly, and handed it to Yun Jing.

"Brother Jing, I can't read it either. Can you help me take a look? It's okay as long as there is no problem."

Yun Jing took it, looked at it carefully, and shook his head at her.

Yun Zhenzhen smiled and beckoned them: "Everyone has worked hard today, come in and eat. This meal was prepared in a hurry and there are no special dishes, so everyone can just make do with it."

A few people walked into the house reluctantly. They had smelled the aroma of meat a long time ago, and their stomachs were now rumbling with hunger, so they protested loudly.

When Old Lady Qin saw the table full of delicious food, she called her a spendthrift woman.

Although the autumn harvest had just ended and the food could be a little better, there was no need to prepare so much meat. However, thinking that the third son's wife had just received fifty taels of silver, at least she would not be short of food in the short term, she put her mind at ease and sat down at the table with him.

As soon as they sat down, Old Lady Qin greeted them warmly: "Village chief, children, please sit down quickly and eat quickly."

After the adults sat down at the table, the kids had no place to sit, so they could only stand and squat to eat. Since they were all familiar with each other, they were not too restrained. They each picked up the food with their chopsticks and ate happily.
