It's hard to be a stepmother, my disabled husband takes care of my child
Chapter 125 Mr. He's Visit
Su Man followed the topic and then told Brother Li some points that needed attention.
At this time, the village chief came over with Old Man Fan, and his face seemed a little bad.
After the people came up, Su Man looked at the village chief and asked.
"Uncle He, did something happen? You don't look well."
The village chief didn't expect Su Man to see through it, but he nodded anyway.
"Yes, something happened?"
"What is it? Otherwise, tell me and I'll see if I can help you solve it."
The village chief looked at Brother Li and others, hesitantly wanting to say something.
Brother Li is not a person who knows nothing, and he said cheerfully,
"This must be the village chief, right? My last name is Li. I'll be helping Mr. Su build his house for the next month. Please take care of me."
The village chief could only suppress what was in his mind and smile at Brother Li.
"What are you talking about? You came here to help Xiao Su build a house. We can't thank you enough."
"Then we'll take care of each other." Brother Li continued with a smile, "By the way, let's go build the thatched house first, and we can start construction tomorrow. Excuse me first."
When Su Man invited them to come and build a house, she first agreed on the price, which was the total amount of money for building the entire house. As for how much Brother Li would pay the workers, it was not up to her.
They also lived in a temporary thatched hut built by themselves, and she was only responsible for three meals a day. After all, Brother Li and his friends were unfamiliar with the place and could not spare the time to buy groceries and cook.
Su Man hired two people in the village to help cook three meals a day, at 15 cents a day, so that they could eat with the workers.
Originally, fifteen cents a day was enough to excite the women in the village, but they didn't expect that food was also included. This made them very motivated and afraid that they would not do well.
They also hired six young and strong men from the village to help with odd jobs, including Liandi's husband, Wang Ping'an, and other people from the village.
Su Man will pay you their wages, after all, Su Man had agreed on a fixed price at the time. These six people were naturally not included, but because Su Man wanted to finish the work quickly, she discussed with Brother Li to add a few more people, and the wages were 25 cents a day.
For them, having two meals and twenty-five cents a day was very good.
The villagers didn't have any bad intentions. Having seen Su Man help so many people in the village make money, they all understood that only by doing their duty could they make money, so there were basically no troublemakers.
After Su Man saw that Brother Li had taken the workers to work, she walked over with the village chief and Old Man Fan and asked about what had just happened.
"Uncle He, tell me what happened."
"It's about the Wang family." With no outsiders around, the village chief did not hide it.
"Wang family?" Su Man raised her eyebrows and suddenly thought of a possibility, "Is it Mr. He who is here?"
She returned to the village last night. Although Fu Si asked people to keep an eye on her, they were not in the town and might not have had time to give them the news.
"How do you know?" the village chief asked in surprise.
"What else do you not know? Speaking of the Wang family, this is the only thing that happened recently. And Mr. He is not a good person. He was very angry when we brought the child back before, but he didn't dare to touch us, so he could only vent his anger on the Wang family.
I probably didn't come here before because I didn't have time during the Chinese New Year. Now that the Chinese New Year is over, how can Mr. He bear it?"
"Yes, yes, yes! That's what they said!" The village chief nodded quickly. He really admired Su Man. He didn't expect that Su Man had guessed everything, and guessed it accurately.
"Just now I heard from your uncle that Mr. He brought a bunch of people to the Wang family's door to curse, saying that if it wasn't for the New Year, they would have come to deal with the whole family a long time ago."
Su Man looked at Old Man Fan next to her and asked with a smile,
"So you just went to watch the fun?"
Old Man Fan said cheerfully, "I guess so. I went to help Old Man Li with his leg disease at first. When I came back, I saw Mr. He looking for trouble with the Wang family. He came back to tell me after watching for a while."
Su Man shook her head helplessly.
"Then Uncle He, are you worried that you don't know what to do because the Wang family is coming to ask you for help?"
She directly revealed the village chief's thoughts.
The village chief nodded with some embarrassment, his face full of annoyance.
"That's right, I really don't know what to do, so I decided to come and ask you.
You said, we are all from the same village, and I am the village chief. How can I say that I cannot do this? Just as you said, Mr. He is not someone who can be easily provoked. I can't just watch them being beaten to death by Mr. He, can I? But you also know what the Wang family did. I cannot bear to see it, so how can I help them? If I really help them, what if more people sell their children in the future?"
The village chief's words made Su Man smile a little deeper. She was originally worried that the village chief would help the Wang family for the sake of their fellow villagers. Now it seems that the village chief is a clear-headed person.
"Village Chief, you are right. I know what you should do."
"Oh? How?"
"Don't help the Wang family."
"But... what if Mr. He beats them to death?"
"As long as you do what I say, it won't happen." Su Man said affirmatively.
The village chief was shocked and waited for Su Man to continue.
Su Man did not hide anything and told the village chief directly.
“When you go there, you will know to move Lord Wei out. Even if Lord Wei is not here now, you don’t have to be afraid. Just tell Mr. He that the execution was decided by the county magistrate. If Mr. He kills someone, it may offend the county magistrate.
But you can't stop Mr. He from venting his anger, otherwise the Wang family won't know how arrogant they are. Even as you said, what if many people follow suit and sell their children? So you have to let Mr. He beat them up, as long as they don't die.
Then you can tell the villagers that they cannot sell their children, otherwise they will suffer retribution, which is also not allowed by the government. Those who are caught in serious cases will be punished as human traffickers. This can make He Yuanwai angry, teach the scumbag of the Wang family a lesson, and warn the villagers. Kill three birds with one stone."
The village chief suddenly realized and an excited smile immediately appeared on his face.
"Xiao Su! Your idea is really good! It's really good! Oh! If only you were a man, when I retire in a few years, I can let you be the village chief. Although we know you are very capable, I'm afraid other villagers won't recognize you."
When he came to this point, the village chief felt a little regretful and also annoyed as to why a woman could not be the village chief. Otherwise, with Su Man being so smart and capable, their village would surely prosper soon!
Su Man just smiled when she heard the village chief's words.
"Uncle He, I'm afraid it will take a very long time for a woman to be the village chief! Besides, I don't want to be a village chief. I just want to live a good life."
Even in the modern 21st century, there are few villages where women serve as village heads.
The village chief could only sigh with regret.
Soon, the five people arrived at the door of the Wang family. The village chief came to deal with things. Su Man and Old Man Fan naturally came to watch the fun. As for Fu Si and Fu Qi, they just came to protect Su Man.
Before they even got close to the Wang family's door, they saw many idle villagers gathered around to watch the fun, and various cries for mercy were constantly coming from the yard.
Listening to these pleas for mercy, Su Man felt very happy. She had finally waited for this day!
When the villagers saw them coming, they immediately made way for them to enter. After all, one was the village chief and the other was Su Man, the richest and most influential person in their village.
What's more important is that Su Man was also a participant in the matter between the Wang family and Mr. He. Of course, they wanted to know what Su Man wanted to do this time.
When Su Man entered the yard, she saw the Wang family members being forced to kneel, while Mr. He was standing in front of them with his hands behind his back.
Su Man tried the people that Mr. He brought with him. Wow... there were quite a lot of them, eight tall and strong guards. People like the Wang family were afraid of the people that Mr. He brought with him, let alone confronting him.
Moreover, everyone in the Wang family had red and swollen faces, and it seemed that they had been taught a lesson long ago.
Old Mrs. Wang noticed Su Man the moment she came in and started shouting at the top of her lungs.
"Mr. He, this bitch is here! This bitch is here! If you have any grudges, you should look for this bitch! She was the one who insisted on taking my fickle ex-daughter-in-law to bring the child back! All this is because of her! You should seek revenge on her!"
Wang Tudi's wife, Cuihua, the wife of Wang Laotai's eldest son, ignored the pain on her face and immediately put all the blame on Su Man.
"That's right! Mr. He, all this is because of her. She is the one who brought people to your house to cause trouble. You should look for her! We would never dare to tease you. We sent those two girls to your house sincerely. Your family is so rich. We did it for the good of those two girls. But Su Man meddled in other people's business and brought them back. All this is because of her!"
Su Man, who heard this, always had a faint smile on her face, but it did not reach her eyes.
Fu Si and Fu Qi looked very unhappy when they heard this.
"Madam, I will kill them right now!" Fu Si was about to go forward, but was stopped by Su Man who held his shoulders.
"Don't go. There are plenty of people to take care of them. Don't dirty your hands."
Fu Si agreed when he heard it. This family’s fate is not going to be any better now.
Mr. He also turned around and looked at Su Man. When he saw Su Man's pretty little face, he was subconsciously amazed and wanted to possess her. He had this idea the first time they met last time.
But after knowing what kind of person Su Man was, he gave up the idea. This woman was not someone who could be easily messed with.
"Mr. He, nice to see you again." Su Man greeted him generously, "You don't mind if I come over to see what's going on, right?"
Everyone present was choked by her words, including Mr. He.
Although Mr. He was also very angry that Su Man had embarrassed him so much, he also knew that Su Man should not be provoked, so he could only respond with a forced smile.
"I don't mind. After all, I haven't thanked you for helping me find the people who played tricks on me. It's just that I have been brushed off for so long. This time, I must teach these people a lesson. Please don't stop me."
He was still somewhat worried that Su Man would help. Although the Wang family member had just insulted Su Man, he could not guarantee whether this crazy woman in front of him would not do something incomprehensible.
Su Man gave a forced smile and was about to speak when Fu Si beside her spoke in a warning tone.
"If you don't want to be beaten, call me Madam! Madam and my master already have two young masters, why are you still calling me Miss?"
Girl? ? If the master knew that someone called them "madam" or "girl" in front of them, the master would definitely cut them into pieces!
What's more, they can't just call others "Madam" or "Miss". After all, this is their wife. What if she is targeted by someone with ulterior motives?
Su Man: “…”
Mr. He also choked, and then reluctantly called Madam, after all, he knew these thugs, and they were very skilled in martial arts. In particular, he later sent people to inquire about these thugs and Su Man, but before he had time to investigate, he was warned by the government officials that if he didn't want to die, he'd better not inquire.
He was able to get people from the government office to come to his house to warn him in person, and he also knew that these people were not simple people, so it would be better not to provoke them.
He just didn't expect that this woman was married and had two sons. He thought she was a girl.
Su Man twitched the corners of her mouth, as a response to Mr. He's call of "Madam".
"Don't worry, I have nothing to do with their family. I came here just to watch the fun. Mr. He, please go ahead."
Mr. He felt a little better.
The village chief also stepped forward at this time.
"Mr. He, huh? I'm the head of this village. What do you want to do by coming here now?"
His tone was still polite, but Mr. He didn't want to give him face. It was just that he had just seen that he came here with Su Man. What if they were in the same group?
So, he could only suppress his anger and answer the village chief.
"This family actually dared to tease me. I came here this time just to teach them a lesson. Even if you are the head of this village, you can't stop me!"
"Yes, yes, yes." The village chief nodded repeatedly, "You are right. I am afraid it is also because of the incident last time when the Wang family sold their children, right?"
Mr. He snorted heavily, which was considered as his agreement.
The village chief continued, "We all know what happened that time, and we think they should be punished and beaten! After all, selling a child without the mother's knowledge is no different from a human trafficker. Such things are not allowed in our village."
"Village Chief!" Old Lady Wang shouted, "You can't just ignore us!"
