It's hard to be a stepmother, my disabled husband takes care of my child

Aunt Mei felt even more distressed when she heard this, but she became angry again after hearing the following words.

"What nonsense are you talking about? Anyway, Yue Niang and I are free, so we are just making you some winter clothes. It's just a matter of convenience. What do you mean by asking for wages? Isn't it alienating us?"

Seeing Aunt Mei's stern face, Su Man touched her nose. She was not used to accepting other people's kindness. After all, she had lived with her mother since she was a child. She didn't have any relatives or even friends.

"Yes, sister Su, you're welcome." Lin Yue Niang also said softly, "Anyway, my mother and I are both free. It's been cold these two days, so you can ask the children not to go out to play for the time being, and we can make winter clothes in the evening."

Since both of them said so, Su Man didn't know what to say, so she just smiled and said,

"Okay, in that case, I won't be polite to my aunt and sister-in-law. I'll come back to get it in the evening. Now I have to go into the mountains."

"Going into the mountains? What are you doing in such a cold day?" Aunt Mei asked hurriedly.

"It's nothing, actually. I just need to go to the mountain to find some dry firewood before it rains, and then find some wild vegetables, in case we have nothing to eat when it rains."

Su Man sighed and said this, expressing her helplessness vividly.

Aunt Mei and Lin Yue Niang felt very distressed when they heard her words.

Aunt Mei: "We can't go into the mountains now, what if we get frozen? And how dangerous is it in the mountains? What if we encounter some wild animals looking for food? If we really don't have firewood or food, we can take some from my house. At worst, we can eat less every day, and we won't starve to death."

"That's right." Lin Yue Niang also agreed, "You'd better not go. Get some from my house. If something really happens to you, what will happen to your two children?"

Su Man felt warm in her heart, but she still looked as if it didn't matter.

"It's okay, Aunt Mei, don't worry, sister-in-law. I'm just taking a walk at the foot of the mountain. I can't always rely on you. Besides, it's not easy for you either.

I'm leaving now. I'll come back to get my clothes in the evening. Don't worry, I'm fine."

She was really afraid that if she continued talking, the two would not let her go. If they did not let her go, how could she make her next plans?

Aunt Mei and her daughter-in-law were also very troubled when they saw Su Man running away.

Lin Yue Niang, in particular, was filled with worry.

"Mom, isn't it dangerous for Sister Su to go up the mountain alone? Let's go and call her back. If her family doesn't have food, we can give her some.

My brother and sister-in-law will definitely come to see me in a few days, and they will bring me food, so we have enough to eat. Don't let anything happen to Su Meizi, otherwise what will happen to her two children?"

Aunt Mei sighed and said to Lin Yue Niang with a smile,

“Mother knows that you feel sorry for her and worry about her, but Xiao Su should be more sensible now and won’t go to the mountains at this time, otherwise she wouldn’t bring these cloths and cotton to help us make clothes for the children.

What's more, we can only help her temporarily, but not forever. She still has to live her life by herself. The only thing we can do now is to help her make the clothes as soon as possible, so that the two children will not be cold, and Xiao Su's good intentions will not be wasted."

Lin Yue Niang was still very worried, but when she thought about it carefully, what her mother said made sense, so she speeded up her work to help make the clothes.

Su Man went directly to the foot of the mountain and looked up at the deep mountain, then stepped directly into it. What's the point of not going to the deep mountain? Where would she get anything to sell if she didn't go to the deep mountain?

No, it should be said to find an excuse to exchange money.

There are few green plants in the deep mountains in winter, and it is desolate everywhere.

There are signs of people walking at the foot of the mountain, such as people picking wild vegetables and looking for firewood.

As she went in, she threw almost anything useful she saw into the space, including some firewood, and then took it out of the space and put it in the kitchen when the time came.

She also saw some wild vegetables, which were ferns. If they were not handled properly, they would be unpalatable and would have a fishy smell, but if they were handled well, they would taste very good. She was very sure about this, so she threw them all into the space.

The deeper you go into the mountains, the quieter the surroundings become. At this time, the feeling cannot be described as desolate, but rather terrifying.

After all, how could it not be scary in the deep mountains and old forests?

But this horror had nothing to do with Su Man. She was accustomed to it and even knew that the deeper into the mountains, the more good things there were.

Look, some of the herbs looked like they had never been picked, and she even saw Chinese yam.

Huaishan, also known as yam, can be eaten as food or used as medicine, and is very useful.

She dug up all the yams she could see wherever she went, after all, it would be a waste if she didn't dig them up.

As for ginseng and Ganoderma lucidum, I didn't see any of them. These things are not easy to find.

Of course, those things were not her main purpose this time. There were plenty of them in the space anyway. She purchased a large number of medicinal materials at that time, especially the precious ones.

She came here to hunt, so she had to have a reason and an excuse to have a good meal today.

Maybe she was lucky today. After cleaning up a rabbit nest and picking up a nest of eggs and two old hens, Su Man actually met a wild boar that came out to look for food.

This wild boar is not big, estimated to be only about 150 kilograms, but it is enough.

For Su Man, this wild boar was nothing. She leaned on the tree with one foot holding the dagger, then flipped over and rode on the wild boar. The dagger that could cut through iron like mud stabbed into the wild boar's neck, killing it with one clean and decisive blow.

She inserted the needle directly into the wild boar's blood vessel in the neck, so the warm blood sprayed directly onto Su Man's face.

However, Su Man didn't care at all. She just raised her hand to wipe her eyes and put the dagger away. Then she took out a backpack from the space and put the ferns and pheasant eggs she had just picked up in it. She even put two bunches of fresh grapes.

She started carrying all these things on her back, including the wild boar, when she reached the foot of the mountain.

She hung the backpack around her neck and carried the wild boar directly on her back without any sign of disgust at the dirtiness.

Fortunately, I don't know if it's because of the time she traveled through, but her body has become in very good condition, and she even feels extremely strong. Otherwise, she would not be able to resist the wild boar weighing more than 100 pounds for a while.

The only two hunters in the village who knew a little about hunting were planning to go into the mountains to see if there were any prey in the traps they had set. Unexpectedly, when they arrived at the foot of the mountain, they saw Su Man with blood all over his face carrying a wild boar on his back, and even a basket of wild vegetables on his back.

This action scared them so much that they quickly walked over and asked.

"You...are you from the Fu family at the foot of the mountain?"

Su Man looked up at the two of them, and nodded after recognizing them.

"Yes, it's me."

After she finished speaking, she was about to leave, and she didn't seem to have any intention of saying a word to the two of them.

However, the two did not intend to let Su Man leave like this. They just asked with some concern,

"Are you okay? Do you want to put the wild boar down first? We won't steal it. You seem to be covered in blood. If you have any wounds, you need to treat them in time."

The one who was speaking was the eldest of the two, named Dafu, and the other was his younger brother, named Dagui.

Both brothers are honest and kind people in the village.

Su Man felt that the two were a little noisy, but she also knew that they meant well, so she patiently said something.

"I'm fine. This is wild boar blood. I have to go back to see my kids. I'm leaving now."

"Wait a minute!" Dafu shouted, "You want to sell this wild boar too? Why don't you come with us when we go to the town to sell it? We're selling it to Youranju in the town. You can get a good price for it if you sell it separately. You won't be able to sell all of it."

When Su Man thought about it, it seemed to make sense, so she nodded and agreed.

"Okay, thank you then. Please call me when the time comes. I will pay you and I won't ask you for help in vain."

Dafu: "No need for compensation. We are all from the same village, so I will help if I can."

Su Man nodded again, and finally carried the wild boar back home. As for Dafu's suggestion that there would be no reward, she didn't take it seriously. Anyway, she would not ask others to help her for nothing.

The two brothers Dafu and Dagui were really shocked when they saw Su Man carrying such a big wild boar away effortlessly.

However, Dagui looked down on Su Man.

"Brother, why did you help her just now? The way she treated the two children shows that she is vicious. She is better off dead, but you helped her find a seller. And you don't even know where she got that wild boar from."

Dafu knocked his brother on the head and said,

"What nonsense are you talking about? It's her own ability to catch the wild boar, why are you jealous? Besides, hasn't she changed for the better now? She even promised in front of everyone that she would treat the two children well. It's not easy for a woman to take care of two children, so help her if you can."

Dagui didn't dare to refute his elder brother and could only pout to show his dissatisfaction.

"Let's go up the mountain quickly." Dafu said and went straight up the mountain.

Dagui didn't dare to refute his elder brother and could only follow him up the mountain.

But he still didn't like Su Man very much. He always felt that a woman who abused children was not someone he could have a good impression of.

Although the woman vowed that she would never abuse the two children again and would treat them well, he felt that a dog will always eat shit.

When Su Man returned home, she opened the door directly.

The two children in the room were also very worried when they heard the sound. If it were before, they wouldn’t think there was anything wrong, but maybe it was because of what Su Man had warned them before she went out, they were now a little more worried.

"Brother, why is there a noise at the door? Did someone open the door? What should we do? My stepmother said that we can't let outsiders in. I... I'm scared..." Xiaobao couldn't help but ask.

Dabao was also a little worried, but he knew he was the older brother, so he kept pretending to be calm and even tried to comfort Xiaobao.

"It's okay, I'll quietly open the door and take a look, don't come out, understand?"

"No, I want to go with you."

"Be obedient. I'm your older brother and you have to listen to me. Otherwise I will be angry." Dabao frowned.

Xiaobao usually listens to Dabao the most, so even though he was a little worried, he still nodded obediently.

Dabao walked to the door nervously and opened it a crack. He only breathed a sigh of relief after seeing who was in the yard and opened the door directly.

"Brother?" Xiaobao shouted.

"Not an outsider." Dabao said.

Xiaobao was stunned at first, then he immediately ran to the door, and exclaimed when he found out it was Su Man.

"Stepmother! What's wrong with you?" Xiao Bao ran to Su Man with a crying voice, "Why are you bleeding so much? Wuuwuwu... What's wrong with you, stepmother?"

The little guy treats Su Man differently now. He truly feels that Su Man is his mother. In just two days, he has completely forgotten the bad Su Man of the past. All he remembers in his mind are the good things Su Man has done to them in the past two days.

That's why when he saw Su Man's face covered in blood, he was so scared that his eyes were filled with tears.

Although Dabao didn't say anything, he was still looking at Su Man.

He still didn't like this woman, but he didn't want anything to happen to her, because now he, his brother and his father all needed this woman.

Yes, that's right! He wouldn't worry about this woman!

Su Man had just put down the wild boar and the backpack, so she had not had time to wipe her face. Seeing Xiao Bao's tearful face, she was stunned for a moment, and then she wiped the blood off her face with her sleeve.

"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, little darling, don't cry. The blood on my face is from the wild boar, not from me. I'm not injured. Don't cry, be good."

Perhaps it was after seeing Su Man wiping the blood off her face and hearing what Su Man said that Xiao Bao held back the tears that were about to flow, but his eyes were still red.

Dabao also obviously breathed a sigh of relief, and the two children turned their attention to the wild boar at Su Man's feet.

"Ah! How can there be such a big wild boar? Stepmother, did you kill it? How are you so powerful?"

Xiaobao squatted down and looked at the wild boar with great interest, his eyes sparkling.

He was now completely unguarded against Su Man, so his tone of voice was extremely relaxed.

Su Man also smiled, and then glanced at Dabao who was silent beside her.

"Don't worry, Dabao. Mom is fine."

Dabao's face froze, and then he responded with some anger.

"I'm not worried about you. Why would I worry about you? Humph!"

Su Man looked at Dabao's arrogant look and couldn't help but chuckle.

"Okay, okay, you're not worried about me. Then you two stay here and watch. If you feel cold, go back to your room. I'll go change clothes first. Remember to stay at home."

"Okay stepmother, go wash your face and change your clothes. My brother and I won't go out." Xiaobao answered obediently.

Dabao still had a stern face and didn't say anything.

Su Man especially liked seeing the two children like this, so she was in a very good mood.

Skipping over the man and having two such lovely children, her time travel was worth it!
