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

Su Man felt a little reluctant, but she had to do it.

"Mother will be back soon, in two days at most, and she is definitely not running away and leaving you. At worst, mother will give you all the money in the house. Do you believe that mother will not abandon you?

Didn't you say you believed in mother before? Why don't you believe in mother now? Mother's grandmother is seriously ill and I really need to go see her. Trust mother, okay?"

Speaking of panic, Su Man was not panicked at all, and she didn't show any sign of being exposed.

Anyway, she had to go out this time. As for her grandmother? She didn't even know who her mother was, so where did her grandmother come from? She only had an old mother who raised her.

"Stepmother, wuwuwu...are you serious? Can you take us with you? Can we go with you?" Xiaobao cried with tears and snot.

Su Man could only hold the person on her lap and coax him.

"Of course not. If you all follow mother, what will happen to your father? Your father needs your care now. Are you willing to abandon your father?"

When Xiaobao heard this, he sobbed and didn't say anything. In fact, he was still thinking about what Su Man had just said.

They really couldn't bear to leave their father and couldn't let him go.

But here is the stepmother...

Dabao pursed his lips and said to Su Man,

"Yes, you can go, as long as the family leaves us something to eat."

Su Man didn't think much about it, she just smiled at Dabao and said,

"Of course, how could I not leave you food? I will also leave you some money. Let Grandma Mei take care of you. I will definitely be back in two days."

Dabao nodded and said nothing more.

But Xiaobao was anxious.

"No, no! Brother, what are you talking about? How can we let our stepmother go?"

Dabao looked at him and said with a stern face,

"She's going to visit her grandmother. You have to be sensible."

Xiaobao wanted to say something, but when Dabao glared at him, he dared not speak and could only sit on Su Man's lap feeling aggrieved.

Su Man pinched Xiao Bao's cheek and coaxed him.

"It's okay. You have to trust mother. Mother will be back in two days. You guys just wait for me. I will make some medicine for your father and then feed it to him."

When Xiaobao heard this, he immediately climbed down from Su Man’s legs and stood beside her with red eyes.

Dabao looked at Su Man on the small bench next to him, and then looked at his younger brother.

"I...I'm taking my brother to see daddy."

Dabao said something hurriedly to Su Man and took Xiaobao back to Fu Xiu's room. Su Man just responded and let them go.

While the medicine was being boiled, Su Man's face looked extremely sour.

I never thought that one day she would make medicine for a man. It seems outrageous just thinking about it now.

Depend on!

If it weren't for the two children, she would have killed the man on the first day she came here. She could have killed him cleanly so that no one would notice anything unusual. But she couldn't let the two children be without a father so soon. She had to at least wait until she had developed a good relationship with them first.

In that case, even if the two children lost their father, they still had her as their mother, right?

Dabao pulled Xiaobao into Fu Xiu's room, but Xiaobao shook off Dabao's hand and glared at his brother with an unhappy face.

"Brother! What were you doing just now? Why did you let the stepmother leave? What if she leaves and never comes back?"

"If she doesn't want to come back, then don't come back. If she really wants to leave, we can't stop her. Now we have such good bedding and so much food at home. I will take care of you and daddy in the future.

What if...what if...what if she comes back, what if she really just goes to see her grandma? If we don't let her go, she will get angry, and she will beat and scold us when she is angry, and she will even not make the medicine for Daddy. What should we do?"

Dabao was very clear-headed and he knew that this was the better thing to do now.

Although Xiaobao is not as mature as Dabao, he is also very smart. Now when he hears these words, he keeps pouting and crying.

"But...but if he leaves, we will be without a mother, not even a stepmother."

He couldn't control his voice when he spoke, and it sounded like he was crying.

In the past two days, he has become more and more dependent on Su Man, and he really wants Su Man to be his mother.

Dabao pursed his lips, hugged Xiaobao, and said,

"I know you like this woman, and she has been very nice to us these past two days, but we can't stop her from leaving. Because she has hands and feet and can walk on her own. Although she is our stepmother, we don't know when our father will wake up in his current condition, so it's okay for her to marry someone else.

We will be fine. I am the elder brother of the family and I will take care of you until you grow up. Don't be afraid and don't stop her from leaving. We...we can't let her get hurt, understand?"

Xiaobao's eyes were red and he felt very upset, but he couldn't refute what his brother said.

Because what his brother said was right. The stepmother has become a better person in the past two days. If she marries someone else, it will definitely be better than staying in their family. He and his brother are just a burden and will drag down the stepmother.

Dabao held Xiaobao in his arms and comforted him for a long time, then they walked to the bedside hand in hand and looked at Fu Xiu.

If only their father would wake up, then maybe their stepmother would continue to be well and...wouldn't leave them.

Su Man came into the room with a bottle of medicine. There was no other way. She didn't want to feed the man mouthful by mouthful. Anyway, the man could suck it himself. It would be great if she could cool the medicine down and give it to the man to drink.

This man, tsk tsk tsk...just be content!

She looked at the man's face and rolled her eyes, speechless.

The two children just watched Su Man feeding medicine to their father, and they were not in a good mood at all.

Normally it was normal for Dabao to have this expression, but Su Man felt something was wrong when Xiaobao also looked like this.

However, she also felt that Xiaobao was probably unhappy because she was leaving, so after feeding the man the medicine, he produced some White Rabbit milk candies for the two of them like a magic trick.

"Come here, here are some candies, hurry up and sweeten your lips. I have to get ready to go to Grandma Mei to discuss tomorrow's affairs. You two stay at home for a while, I'll be back soon."

Dabao didn't say anything, but Xiaobao nodded obediently.

"I understand, stepmother. Please go. My brother and I will wait for you at home."

Seeing that the time was almost up, Su Man picked up the basket and went straight to find Aunt Mei.

She first told Aunt Mei that she was going out, using the same excuse that she was going to visit her grandmother and had no choice but to go, so she asked Aunt Mei to help take care of the two children. She also brought some soup to Aunt Mei and took out a few eggs from the space. Finally, she gave her a hundred coins and said it was money for buying groceries for the next two days.

In fact, there is also an opportunity to pay Aunt Mei.

Finally, she went to the village chief's house, also bringing a piece of pork belly, a bag of snacks and a bunch of grapes.

The village chief and his wife were quite surprised to see her coming.

"Why are you here so late at night? Did something happen?" asked Aunt Cui, the village chief's wife.

"Yes, aunt, uncle, I came here to tell you something, but I just don't know how to start."

Su Man pretended to be embarrassed and said this.

Aunt Cui: "Child, if you have anything to say, just say it directly. Why are you embarrassed to speak up?"

Village chief: "That's right, if you have anything to say, just tell me directly. There's nothing to be embarrassed about. There's no one else here anyway."

There are indeed only the village chief and his wife plus Su Man in his family.

The village chief has two children, but both sons are working odd jobs outside and have no time to come back.

"Okay, aunt, uncle, I won't be polite with you and will tell you directly that I have to go on a long trip early tomorrow morning. It will take about two days, and I can't take the two children with me, so I would like to ask you to help me look after the two children when the time comes.

But I have already told Aunt Mei that she will come to my house to look after the two children in the next two days, but I am also afraid that Aunt Mei may not be available, so I thought of telling you as well, asking you to help me take care of the children. "

"It's not difficult to help you take care of two children, the main thing is that you are going on a long journey. Where are you going?" asked the village chief.

Aunt Cui: "Yes, where are you going as a girl? It's very dangerous."

"Alas..." Su Man sighed, "My grandma is ill, and she wrote to me before and asked me to go back, but at that time I was in a daze, and I didn't even want to live my own life, so how could I possibly want to go see my grandma.

But now that I am sober, I feel uneasy and guilty, so I have to go there, otherwise I will have trouble with my conscience. "

What she said was true, and the village head and his wife had no way of doubting her.

"I am going to go there, but why haven't I heard you talk about your grandmother before?" Aunt Cui continued to ask.

"My grandparents didn't want my mother to marry my father, so they severed their relationship a long time ago. It wasn't until I received a letter some time ago that I learned that my grandmother was worried about me, so she wanted to go and see me. I...sigh..."

After Su Man's performance, the village chief and his wife also believed and promised to take good care of the two children.

But when it came to giving gifts, Su Man had to spend a lot of effort to get the two of them to accept them.

After Su Man left, the village chief and his wife looked at the things Su Man brought and sighed.

"Why didn't I realize before that this child is so honest?" Aunt Cui said.

The village chief sighed, "It's a good thing that she's getting better. That's why I want to visit her grandmother. We just need to help her out more on weekdays. It's okay."

Su Man went straight home after leaving the village chief's house. When she got home, the two children were still waiting for her in Fu Xiu's room.

When Xiaobao saw her, he immediately ran over and hugged Su Man's thighs.

"Stepmother." He rubbed his face on Su Man's thigh, his voice soft and choked.

Seeing him like this, Su Man simply picked up Xiaobao and threw him around.

"Oh, Xiaobao, why are you so clingy to mommy? Are you missing mommy because you can't see her for such a short time?"

Xiao Bao responded sullenly. He felt very upset because he knew that his stepmother would leave early tomorrow morning. It would be better if she didn't leave.

But he didn't dare to say it. His brother was right. Now that his stepmother had become a better person, she shouldn't continue to take care of these two burdens.

"Okay, okay, let's go back to the room and go to sleep. Your father will be fine after taking the medicine. Just take it again in three days. I will come back and make medicine for your father then. Don't worry."

He held Xiaobao and looked at Dabao, motioning Dabao to go back with him.

Dabao looked at Fu Xiu lying on the bed, then obediently went to the next room with the underwear that Su Man bought for them.

After they left, the man on the bed moved his fingers, but unfortunately no one noticed.

Of course, the inner clothes cannot be worn immediately. Su Man plans to wash and dry them tomorrow before letting the two children wear them.

But the two children couldn't let go of the clothes here, especially Dabao, who folded the two sets of underwear neatly even though he didn't say anything.

Su Man saw through it but didn't say anything. Then she smiled and took out a small box from the closet. Inside was milk, biscuits, some sugar and bread. She had prepared a week's worth in case the children didn't have enough to eat.

As for the fact that she wouldn't be able to come back for two days, she had never thought about it. No matter what, she would definitely come back in two days.

After giving the two children instructions and making sure they knew how to eat, she began to put them to bed, because she planned to set out in the second half of the night after the two children fell asleep in order to avoid running out of time.

Su Man was lying on the outside, Xiaobao was lying in the middle, and Dabao was lying on the innermost.

"Stepmother..." Xiao Bao hugged Su Man's arm, "Are you...are you leaving early tomorrow?"

In the darkness, Xiaobao's voice seemed choked with sobs.

Su Man comforted the two children.

"Yes, I have to go early and come back early, so that I can come back to see you earlier, right? So when you wake up tomorrow morning, you won't see mother at home, remember not to be afraid or worried, okay? And mother has put most of the family's silver in a box, and you will guard it by yourselves when the time comes."

Xiaobao hummed, but Dabao spoke in a sullen tone.

"My brother and I will stay at home, but you need to take the money with you. You will need money when you go out. My brother and I will be able to eat and drink at home."

Su Man never expected Dabao to say this. She felt so soft-hearted.

"Oh, Dabao! Are you worried about your mother? Are you worried?" Su Man couldn't help teasing Dabao.

She felt quite accomplished that Dabao could say such words in the past two days!

"Who would worry about you! Don't think too much! I won't worry about you! I'm going to sleep! Don't disturb me!" Dabao said angrily.

Su Man laughed softly. Xiao Bao rarely said anything, but just held Su Man's arms tighter.

If his stepmother is leaving, he should hug her a little longer. Maybe... maybe this will be the last time he hugs his stepmother in this life.

Su Man had no idea what the two children were thinking. She was looking for something useful in the space with her eyes closed.
