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

After dinner, Yun Zhenzhen began to assign tasks to the children.

Yun Jing has to go to town to take an exam today, and Yun Zhenzhen gave him some money for his travel.

The remaining children were making adobe bricks at home and entertaining the workers.

"Boss, you will follow Old Zhang later to see what is needed and purchase it in time so that we can complete it as soon as possible."

"Second brother, you just register on the side. Remember how long each person will work, what they brought and what they used."

"Xiao Nan just follows me and helps with odd jobs and errands..."

She arranged everything in an orderly manner. She used to think that there were too many children in the family, so when the time came to use them, she wished she had as many as possible.

Just after I finished arranging things, Old Zhang came with a group of people.

She had seen many of these people before. Most of them were men from Qinjia Village. They were strong and honest.

Everyone brought their own tools and lined up outside the yard to register. There were fifteen people in total, some carrying soil, some making adobe bricks, and some others that Yun Zhenzhen couldn't quite understand.

She stood outside the courtyard gate and felt that there were still not enough people. It would take several days just to collect the tens of thousands of bricks that the family was short of.

Yun Zhenzhen was about to bring water to the workers.

Suddenly, a group of people, young and old, came outside the door.

Looking around, there were Qin Zhan, Song Shang, Song Yuan, and Grandma Li’s grandson Li Yang...all of them were families with whom she had a good relationship.

In the village, building a house is a big deal, and anyone who has nothing to do will come and help.

Li Yang said in a hoarse voice: "Sister Yun, I have finished my work at home recently. I heard that your family is building a new house and must be short of manpower. We came over to help."

"That's right." Song Shang said with a smile, "Sister Yun, if you need anyone at home, just give us a call. It's just a matter of helping out."

A group of people were talking to each other.

In this way, the number of people building the house increased from fifteen to more than thirty.

Several children were helping to make the adobe bricks. Although they were not as strong as adults, they were very skillful. Two people worked together to stack the bricks one by one.

The group of people were busy all day.

While preparing dinner, Aunt Zhao came to find Yun Zhenzhen.

"Sister, I'm thinking of the helper you mentioned last time. It's a girl, a very honest and capable child. Her name is Xiao'e. Do you know her?"

Xiao'e is Zhang Qiang's younger sister. She lives not far away from home and is not married yet. The old couple of the Zhang family only love Zhang Qiang, a carefree man, and they can be said to ignore Xiao'e. A girl of seventeen or eighteen years old, in addition to keeping the house in tidy, also has to do heavy work in the fields.

Before Aunt Qiang returned to her parents' home, the two of them could at least help each other. Now they have broken up, and such a big family has to be supported by Xiao'e alone. The poor little girl has become so thin that she doesn't look even as strong as a girl of twelve or thirteen.

When Yun Zhenzhen followed Aunt Zhao to look for someone, Xiao E was chopping firewood in the yard, with a pile of dirty clothes waiting for her to wash next to her.

"Xiao'e."

Aunt Zhao pushed the door open and walked in.

Xiao E turned around and looked at them. Her hair was tied together in a mess, looking dull. Her clothes were patched in an outrageous number of ways, and there were some red marks on her hands, a mixture of new and old.

Yun Zhenzhen frowned at the scene in front of her.

"Auntie, why are you here? Come in and sit down." Xiao E wiped her face roughly and came forward.

Aunt Zhao walked in, her eyes darkening: "Did your brother beat you again?"

Xiao'e lowered her head, and Aunt Zhao walked over and rolled up her sleeves, revealing a patch of blue and red, which was shocking to see.

"It's okay, auntie, I just bumped into it accidentally." Xiao E withdrew her hand in fear.

"I bumped into it." Aunt Zhao said angrily, "Come on, tell me how you got bumped into it."

Xiao'e's face turned pale and she looked into the house fearfully, fearing that her elder brother would hear it.

What is terrible is what will happen. Zhang Qiang leaned against the door with an expression of watching a show. He was a grown man, but he was fair and clean, not like a farmer.

In contrast, Xiao E was tanned and thin, and looked more masculine than a man.

"Oh, Aunt Zhao, what a rare guest..."

Then he looked to the other side and found Yun Zhenzhen. He quickly put away his nonchalant look and his legs trembled unconsciously. He must have been deeply impressed by the experience that night.

"You...what are you doing in my house? I don't think I've provoked you."

Aunt Zhao was so angry that she stepped forward and said, "You are such an idle man, and you are a brother. How can you torture your own sister like this? You are such a bad seed."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Qiang was no longer able to stand his ground. In this family, he had always been the one making the decisions. How could he allow others to scold him?

"You old witch, this is none of your business. This is my sister. If you mind your own business, I'll beat you up."

As he was about to step forward, Xiao E was startled, fearing that Aunt Zhao would be implicated and beaten because of her, so she quickly rushed over to stop him.

Her frail aunt was no match for a man and was immediately pushed to the ground. Just as her head was about to hit the corner of the stone table, Yun Zhenzhen was quick to catch her and not forgetting to use one foot to kick Zhang Qiang away.

The good thing about the original body is that he has a lot of strength. Although he has never done heavy work since he came here, it is more than enough to deal with a prodigal son.

Zhang Qiang did not expect Yun Zhenzhen to act so decisively. He had seen Yun Zhenzhen's ruthlessness, so he did not dare to take action again and could only speak out.

"You broke into my house and beat me up. I'm going to tell the village chief and ask him to seek justice for me."

Seeing that he was still not behaving properly, Yun Zhenzhen walked over with a cold face and said, "Okay, go call the village chief and let him see how you treat Xiao E. It's a good opportunity for him to see what you're doing."

Aunt Zhao saw Yun Zhenzhen restrain him and hurried over to support Xiao E: "Sister, is there any need for you to stay in this house any longer? If you continue to stay, this cruel brother will really beat you to death."

Xiao E shed tears sadly. Where else could she go if she didn't live here? Her parents were here, her home was here, and as a girl, where could she go?

My parents usually only protect my brother at home. When I was beaten, they didn't even say a word of comfort. They always kept telling me that my brother was the pillar of the family and I had to give in to him. They also said that when I get married in the future, my brother would be her support in her family.

But I do all the work inside and outside the house by myself, and my elder brother will not be my support.

Thinking of this, Xiao E burst into tears and fell into Aunt Zhao's arms.

"You little bitch, I just hit you twice, and you're looking for someone else to deal with your brother, right?"

Zhang Qiang also felt like he had seen a ghost. In broad daylight, a stranger came to his house to ask him how to discipline his sister.
