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

Fortunately, after selling four old mountain ginsengs, she still had a balance of eight hundred taels to use as a backup. However, these eight hundred taels might be a lot for ordinary people, but they were definitely not enough for her.

She needs to make more money to feel secure.

As for treating the man, she just needed to remove the poison for the time being. She didn't want the man to wake up so early, otherwise how would he cultivate his relationship with the children? How would he take the two children away?

Besides, she couldn't wake the man up for now, tsk...

As expected, being a man is the definition of trouble!

She put the medicine in the basket and went to do some shopping.

After Su Man left, Doctor He just put the wild ginseng away, and when he came out, he casually asked his apprentice.

“Xiao Shui, what medicinal herbs did Madam Fu ask you to get just now?”

He Shui talked about the medicinal materials, and Doctor He was a little confused.

"Master, what do you think Madam Fu bought these medicines for? Some of them are warming and nourishing, and some are quite special. If used improperly, they may even cause death. Do you think there will be any problems?"

"No, this time I rely on Madam Fu differently than before. She should have her own uses."

He Shui said "oh" and put the matter behind him, then went to do other things.

Su Man first went to buy a fish and some tofu.

People here don't think much of fish because they don't know how to cook it, and it always has a fishy smell and bones. Only poor people who are craving for meat will buy fish to satisfy their craving.

But this is not a problem for Su Man. The cooking skills she has developed after being single for many years are not fake.

Finally, she bought a few packs of snacks here, mainly because she wanted to let her children try them, and another reason was that she wanted to thank others.

Things like human relationships and social etiquette cannot be neglected.

Finally, she went to the cloth shop and bought two pairs of shoes and socks for the two children and herself, as well as two sets of underwear for each.

She bought a backpack and put all these things in it. After all, she wanted the villagers to see them, so she couldn't hide them.

She walked through the noisy market entrance and was heading for the town entrance, but when she passed a crowd, she heard some discussions, which made her stop.

"The county magistrate actually offered five hundred taels for the head of the leader of Langhu Mountain? That's really a big deal."

"The county magistrate has no other choice. He has only been in office for less than three months, and the people in Langhu Mountain have already robbed several houses. I heard that several girls were abducted to the mountain. Now those people come to the government office to make trouble every day. The county magistrate has no other choice."

"That's right. Who would go there if they didn't pay so much money? After all, Langhu Mountain is a den of bandits."

Five hundred taels? Su Man's eyes flickered.

Listening to the discussion of several aunts, Su Man interrupted with her innocent appearance.

"Three sisters, what are you talking about? Five hundred taels of silver to buy the life of the leader of Langhu Mountain? What does that mean? By the way, this is the salted peanuts that my family cooked ourselves, you can all try some."

She simply divided the salted peanuts in her hand into three portions and put them in the hands of the three aunts.

Originally the three aunts just had an indifferent attitude, but when they saw Su Man, a girl in her twenties, actually called them sisters and gave them peanuts, the smiles on their faces deepened a lot.

Although each person only had seven or eight peanuts, it was better than nothing, wasn't it? Food was very precious these days.

So the three of them immediately told the whole story one by one.

"I can tell from the looks of it that you're from the countryside. You don't even know Langhu Mountain. Langhu Mountain is a den of bandits ten miles outside of town. They've been there for ten years, doing all kinds of evil. The nearby villages are all scared of them."

"Yes, yes. The county magistrate has changed many of them, but he just can't catch them. I heard that the boss of Langhu Mountain is a very powerful person, and the scar on his face is also very scary."

"That's right. The county magistrates in the past have also gone to suppress the rebellion, but each time they came back with no good results. The constables in the yamen were killed or injured. Now this county magistrate has only been in office for two months, and now he has issued such a notice."

When Su Man heard this, her eyes lit up even more. She could do this, this was her specialty. It was so easy to take the head of a villain. Five hundred taels, wouldn't it be easy to get it?

"Sisters, if someone catches the leader of Langhu Mountain, how do we hand him over to the government? Is there a certain amount of time or something?" she continued to ask innocently.

"The government didn't say anything about this, but according to the government's usual practice, as long as you bring the person to the government, they will do whatever they want."

Su Man nodded with a smile, and then asked some more questions. However, these people didn't know much about the location of Langhu Mountain, so it seemed that she had to ask other people.

After roughly confirming everything, she walked to the entrance of the town to meet the two brothers Dafu and Dagui.

By this time it was already getting a little dark, and the two brothers had already been sitting there waiting for her.

She quickened her pace and walked over.

"I'm really sorry, it took a little while because I had to buy some things. I kept you waiting for a long time."

In fact, she didn't look for the agreed time, but she said this when she saw the two people waiting for her here.

Hearing Su Man's words, Dafu quickly said it was okay.

But Dagui's opinion of Su Man changed for a moment. When did this person learn to be so polite? This had never happened before, and it was quite strange.

However, just because of this small thing, he did not immediately change his opinion of Su Man.

After Su Man got on the carriage, Dafu drove the carriage back. It was winter and it was dark easily, so the way back was much faster than before.

Of course, it is also because it was not so heavy when going back, after all, there were so many prey when coming here.

They also took a quick look at some of the things Su Man bought, and were quite surprised to find that they were all household items.

I didn’t expect that this person actually bought things for home use, and it looks like he really made the changes.

After Su Man got on the carriage, she looked towards the back. When she saw a figure quickly flash by, the corners of her mouth curled up slightly, but her eyes were very cold.

He had been following her for so long, but she still had no idea who he was. But since he hadn't followed her, she was too lazy to ask. The most important thing now was to rush home to see her two children.

Of course, along the way she was also trying to find ways to ask questions about Langhu Mountain.

These two people knew more about Langhu Mountain than those aunts.

Su Man also got some useful information.

Dafu didn't know why Su Man asked this question, but he said it anyway.

"Don't mention this matter to others casually in the future, and don't provoke the people from Langhu Mountain. They are evil people.

Also, don't go down that road, especially when you see girls and women like you, they'll grab them if they see them. But if you think about it, you probably won't go that far."

Su Man was still thinking about how to get close to Langhu Mountain. Now after hearing Dafu's words, she immediately had an idea in her mind.

"Okay, thank you, Big Rich, I understand."

The two brothers Dafu and Dagui were still not used to Su Man's politeness, but they just nodded and said you're welcome.

Taking advantage of the last bit of light, Su Man and her friends finally returned to the village.

When approaching the village, Su Man saw from afar that there seemed to be someone waiting at the entrance of the village.

Two children and one adult.

She squinted her eyes, trying to see more clearly, and found that the two children looked a bit like the two little kids in her family.

When she got closer, she saw that they were indeed her two children and Aunt Mei.

She jumped down without waiting for the carriage to stop and landed steadily on the ground.

But her action scared the two Dafu brothers.

"Can't you wait until the car stops before getting off?" Dagui couldn't help but say, "What if you can't stand firmly? Then you will have to blame us two brothers again!"

Su Man was just eager to see the child and hadn't thought about this. She also knew her own abilities and this distance wouldn't be a problem. She didn't expect someone would think of this.

She paused, and finally said,

"It's okay. I know what's going on. Even if something goes wrong, it's my fault. It has nothing to do with you."

As she spoke, she took her backpack off the ox cart and took the small basket in her hand.

It was only now that she suddenly remembered that she should buy a carriage so that it would be more convenient for her to travel.

She took out a bag of snacks from the small basket and put it on the ox cart.

"Thank you for taking me to town and helping me find the seller. This is a little snack I prepared for you. I hope you will accept it."

She originally wanted to give money, but then she thought that it would be too inappropriate to give money. After all, they were all from the same village, and giving money would be too polite. But if she didn't give money, she would feel uncomfortable.

So after some consideration I decided to buy some snacks.

The brothers Dafu and Dagui did not expect that she would do this, especially Dafu, who immediately frowned and said,

"Fu family, we are all from the same village, and we should help each other. What do you mean by making this for us all of a sudden? Isn't it too polite? Give it to your children. We are grown men and don't need snacks."

"Just accept it. If you don't accept it, I will feel bad and won't dare to ask you for help next time." Su Man also said.

At this time, Aunt Mei and the two children also came to them, especially the two children, who stood on Su Man's left and right, and their frowning brows finally relaxed.

"Stepmother, you're really back!" Xiaobao said excitedly, and he looked very happy.
