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

Yun Zhenzhen turned to look at Yun Jing, only to see him pursing his lips.

Before he dropped out of school, he had heard his classmates mention Yueming Academy. It was indeed a holy place for studying. The academy did not recruit students every year, and this time coming to Yuzhou to recruit students was indeed an opportunity.

"Thank you, County Magistrate, for coming to inform me." Yun Zhenzhen looked at him with a smile, "My brother Jing will think about it first. He also needs to inform his family about this matter. I'm afraid I can't give you an answer for the time being."

"That's all right." Lu Yunfeng waved his hand nonchalantly. "The entire Xingyang Academy knows this news. I was worried that your nephew didn't go to school and didn't know about this, so I stopped by to let you know. When you've made up your mind, you can come find me at the county government office."

"Thank you, County Magistrate." Yun Jing stood up and bowed to express his gratitude.

As they were talking and preparing to say goodbye, Lu Ling suddenly felt an itch in his trouser leg.

Looking down, he saw a gray puppy rubbing against him.

The puppy has short, light hair, but its eyes are white... white! ?

Lu Ling rarely squatted down and touched it twice, kneading it here and there.

Isn't this a wolf cub?

Qin Nan saw him teasing Xiaoshan and ran over: "This is my little dog, Lao Er. His name is Xiaoshan. Isn't he cute?"

good!?

He didn't see how this little wolf cub could be good.

By the way, Madam Yun actually has a wolf cub at home. It's really hidden. Maybe it's the descendant of some hermit who lived in seclusion here.

No wonder my cousin brought me here to eat.

Lu Ling put aside the messy thoughts in his mind and got on the carriage.

He also watched his cousin lift the car curtain and happily wave goodbye to everyone.

It's really weird.

I've never seen him so enthusiastic at home.

into the night.

The entire Qinjia Village was silent.

Yun Zhenzhen used two large pots to boil two pots of bath water for the children, and added some herbs to prevent mosquito bites at night.

After taking a bath, several children ran into the house and looked at her with wide eyes.

Yun Zhenzhen was just about to chat with Yun Jing for a while, but was suddenly stared at by several little faces, which made her feel a little embarrassed.

"Let your hair dry first, and I'll continue telling you stories once I'm done washing."

"Okay." Xiao Nan cheered, quickly got into the bed, and sensibly made the bed for Yun Zhenzhen's pillow.

After a while, Yun Zhenzhen returned to the house, lay down, and extinguished the oil lamp.

The sound of giggling echoed in the darkness. Facing the children's curiosity, Yun Zhenzhen cleared her throat and slowly said, "Today is the second chapter. Listen to it and then go to sleep. After the stone monkey was born, he traveled across the ocean to learn from a master..."

......

After finally coaxing the children to sleep, Yun Zhenzhen got up and went to the yard. Yun Jing was still reading.

"Brother Jing, aren't you going to bed yet?" Yun Zhenzhen came to his side softly.

"Aunt, I can't sleep." Yun Jing blinked and looked at him, which made people feel pity.

He was just a twelve-year-old boy who worked in the fields during the day and studied hard at night. Even Yun Zhenzhen, a soul from another world, couldn't help but feel pity for him.

After spending some time together, she also discovered that her nephew was kind-hearted by nature. He grew up in such a native family but was not led astray, which was very rare.

She asked softly, "Do you want to go for a walk with my aunt?"

Yun Jing obediently closed the book and followed her out to the yard.

"Aunt, do you know why I was expelled from Xingyang Academy?"

Yun Jing lowered his eyes and said calmly.

He had never told anyone about this matter. He didn't want others to worry about him anymore. What's more, the man came from a wealthy family and was not someone a poor man like him could compete with.

But today, he inexplicably wanted to tell his grievances to his aunt.

Yun Zhenzhen was a little surprised. She knew there was something behind Yun Jing's dismissal, but he never mentioned it, so she knew better than to ask.

"Brother Jing, you say, my aunt is listening."

"When I was studying at Xingyang Academy, I was always at the top of my class. There were two people who always disliked me. One was the son of the Taiyin County magistrate, and the other was a student from our town. They were accomplices to the evil, often bullying students from poor families."

Yun Jing spoke softly.

"The last time I was up at the academy, I heard that the county magistrate's son was planning to cheat on the exam. They found out about me and wanted me to keep it a secret. I refused, so they framed me for cheating and fabricated false evidence. That's why the dean expelled me..."

"I used to think that my life as Yun Jing would stop here. I would teach my cousins ​​when I had nothing to do, and maybe even open a private school in the future. But I didn't expect that I would meet my aunt. The county magistrate solved this matter for me. In order not to cause trouble for you, I decided to review for the exam at home and take care of the children in the village."

"But Yueming Academy is recruiting students this time, you want to go, right?" Yun Zhenzhen patted his shoulder.

Yunjing nodded.

"Go if you want to. You are well-educated and will have no problem passing the college entrance examination. As for the future, the higher you stand, the farther you can see. Then you can benefit more people, right?" Yun Zhenzhen looked at him with a smile.

"As for the children in the village, don't worry. When the conditions are good, the whole village can work together to run a private school. As for the teachers, as long as they are willing to pay, there will be many scholars who want to come. You, as a child, don't have to worry about it."

"Go if you want to, and do what you want to do."

Yun Jing met her gaze and nodded firmly.

When he returns after completing his studies, he will definitely become a good official serving the people and the country.

night.

It was drizzling outside the house, and Yun Zhenzhen hurried to the kitchen to get various basins to collect the leaking water in the house.

It really is true that when it rains heavily outside, it rains lightly inside.

But it’s good that it rains, the crops in the fields will grow well.

The next morning, the whole family got up early and a cool breeze came from outside the door.

Yun Zhenzhen yawned as she pushed open the courtyard door, tied her hair up, and drew some well water to wash her face. The moment she touched the cold water, she couldn't help but shiver, and all her sleepiness was driven away.

I walked out and looked into the distance. It rained all night last night, and there was more water in the dry riverbed.

She walked towards the few acres of land in her backyard. The soil was moist, the potato leaves had fully grown out, and a few flower buds had bloomed. Under the guidance of Dashan and Xiaoshan, the chickens in the house habitually walked towards their own land to eat insects, which were very nutritious.

Qin Wen was still making adobe bricks. The eldest brother had filled the two water tanks in the yard early in the morning and was now weeding in the fields.

The potatoes planted in August should be ready for harvest in less than a month. By then, we can have potato feasts every day and even exchange them for money in town.

Yun Zhenzhen leaned over to take a closer look and found that many leaves were beginning to turn yellow and some were even falling over. Yun Zhenzhen knew that this was a sign that the potatoes were gradually maturing, and she was very happy.

When Yun Zhenzhen returned home, Qin Wen had already taken the time to prepare breakfast.
