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

Shopkeeper Fu was very happy. Oh, this girl is really likable.

"Okay, okay, I'll take you down there."

Shopkeeper Fu took out two pieces of dried meat and placed the rest on the table.

Su Man looked at his actions and asked directly.

"Uncle Fu, why don't you take this dried meat away?"

"It's okay, just leave it here for now, nothing will go wrong." Shopkeeper Fu said calmly.

In fact, he felt very uncomfortable, but there was nothing he could do. The one inside was also a delicious one, so he could only give up with reluctance.

Su Man glanced at the screen meaningfully, without saying anything more, and walked straight to the guardhouse.

Shopkeeper Fu reluctantly turned his eyes away from the dried meat on the table, and then took Su Man downstairs.

Oh, what a pity! Fortunately, he took two pieces of jerky.

After the two men left, the man behind the screen came out and went straight to the jerky on the table.

"This woman is so simple."

As he spoke, he picked up the jerky and tasted it, then closed his eyes in comfort.

It’s really delicious.

Looks like I'll have a treat in the future.

As soon as Su Man went downstairs, she was surrounded by Lin Yue Niang and Aunt Mei.

Seeing the worried looks on their faces, she briefly told them that she was going to the kitchen, and then asked them to continue waiting here.

Old man Fan was also watching happily. Oh my! He would have a place to eat for free next time. Su Man really got the job done.

Su Man came to the kitchen door and suddenly thought of something, and said,

"Uncle Fu, to avoid unnecessary trouble, it would be better for you to find a trustworthy chef to learn from."

Shopkeeper Fu nodded, "Of course, the next two chefs are both trustworthy, just teach them, there will be no problems."

Seeing this, Su Man didn't say anything else and went straight into the kitchen.

She found that although the kitchen was clean, it was still a bit messy.

As soon as Shopkeeper Fu entered, he waved to the two middle-aged men waiting inside and whispered a few words to them.

Su Man ignored what they said and put on her apron.

In fact, she just took a look at the two chefs and found that they were not just chefs. With their steady steps, straight backs and tall statures, it was obvious that they were martial artists.

To be able to have such a person as the chef, Shopkeeper Fu must be an extraordinary person.

It seems that she has successfully found someone with a background.

She curled her lips slightly, happy that she had taken the first step towards success.

The two chefs soon came to learn how to cook two dishes from Su Man. Su Man first asked Manager Fu to find some spices such as star anise, bay leaves, cinnamon, and then took out a small bag of chili powder from her pocket.

As she taught the two, she explained the uses of the spices and the chili powder.

Shopkeeper Fu seemed to be very interested in chili powder.

"Xiao Su, how is this chili powder made?"

"We have this thing in our village. Haven't you seen it here?"

Shopkeeper Fu shook his head. "I haven't seen it before. What did it originally look like?"

"How about this, keep this small package for now, it's enough for you to use for a few days. I'll bring some back in two days. In fact, its original appearance is what you call chili here, but I processed it and turned it into chili powder. But when the time comes, I'll hire someone to make this chili powder, which may cost some labor fees."

Shopkeeper Fu was stunned at first, then he couldn't help laughing and nodded repeatedly.

"Okay, okay, don't worry. I will never mistreat those who helped me. As long as we can produce more chili powder, I will never mistreat them."

Su Man looked up at him at this time, "More production? Do you have other restaurants?"

Shopkeeper Fu laughed and said, "Yes, there are two more restaurants in other places. If the dishes you make this time are really as good as you said, I will introduce the dishes to the restaurant over there, and then you can have a share there."

Su Man's eyes lit up. She didn't expect to have such a gain.

"Okay, there will be not only chili powder, but also some other seasonings. If Uncle Fu thinks they are good, you can try them all."

Shopkeeper Fu naturally agreed immediately, because he now had great trust in Su Man and felt that Su Man would definitely be able to give him some unexpected gains.

Su Man taught how to cook spicy and sour shredded potatoes and spicy chicken, because these two dishes were the only ones that were relatively easy to make. As for braised pork and the others, they were a waste of time and Su Man didn't really have the time to prepare them.

It was also the first time for Shopkeeper Fu to taste the dishes made by Su Man. They were so delicious that he could only keep saying “good, good, good”.

Even though he is not a foodie, he can't help but feel like a greedy person now.

As expected, this girl does have some skills.

In fact, it was not only Shopkeeper Fu who was craving for it, but also the two chefs, including Lin Yue Niang and Aunt Mei who were waiting at the door. Oh, it smelled so good!

The two chefs were good at cooking and were smart. After Su Man taught them once, they basically learned how to cook. After all, all they needed were some seasonings.

After making sure that both of them had learned it, Su Man planned to say goodbye.

However, Shopkeeper Fu remembered a question and asked it.

"Xiao Su, where do you live? How can I find you if something happens?"

"I live in Dahe Village. If you go into the village and ask where Su Man is, someone will know."

Shopkeeper Fu nodded, "Okay, okay, that's good. Be careful on the road, I'll be waiting for you in two days."

Su Man was about to leave with Lin Yue Niang, Aunt Mei and Old Man Fan. After they got on the carriage, they started to buy what they wanted.

Lin Yue Niang and Aunt Mei had already finished their shopping, so Su Man planned to take Old Man Fan to Huichuntang to buy some medicinal herbs, while she herself would go buy some vegetables, meat and other things.

Lin Yue Niang and Aunt Mei didn't think there was anything wrong when they saw Su Man bought so many meats, vegetables and other things. Instead, they felt it was the right thing to do. After all, Su Man had just earned five hundred taels of silver, and these five hundred taels could allow her to live a good life for the rest of her life.

When he went to Huichuntang to get medicine, Old Man Fan also met Doctor He.

Doctor He hadn't seen Su Man for several days. When he saw Su Man bringing an old man to get medicine, he couldn't help but ask a question.

"Madam Su, have you found a doctor to treat your husband?"

Su Man nodded and said,

"I guess so. He is my uncle. He used to live away from home. This time he came home to help me after hearing about my experience. It's like trying his best to save the situation."

Doctor He looked at Old Man Fan with some curiosity.

"Brother, are you a doctor too?"

Old Man Fan admitted cheerfully.

"Yes, my family was poor when I was young, and I was adopted by my master, who happened to be a doctor, so I learned from what I heard and saw. But the quality of the medicine here is still good."

Doctor He: "Since I am a doctor selling medicine, I cannot pass inferior products off as good ones. That would cost lives."

Old Man Fan began to have a better impression of Doctor He.

Su Man interrupted their conversation and then listed some medicine names.

Doctor He and Old Man Fan both looked at her in confusion.

However, Doctor He did not ask too many questions and just asked the medicine boy to pack the medicine for Su Man.

It was Old Man Fan who asked a question.

"Girl, why did you buy these things? I saw you bought some things from other places just now. Those things can't cure the father of the two children, and they can't be eaten. What are you buying them for?"

"Of course I have my own uses. You will know when the time comes." Su Man put the things into the backpack.

Old Man Fan knew that Su Man was a person with her own ideas, so he didn't ask any more questions.

After buying their things, they prepared to go home.

Doctor He saw them off, and after they left the house, he seemed to be hesitant to speak, so he couldn't help but ask a question.

"Madam Su, do you still have those things you sold me last time?"

Su Man paused, then finally smiled faintly and shook her head.

"Doctor He, you also know what those are. Impressions are hard to come by. If I had them, wouldn't I have taken them out long ago? Who would complain about having too much silver? Right?"

Doctor Fan was stunned for a moment, then he couldn't help laughing.

"Yes, yes, I thought too much. I shouldn't have thought too much. From now on, Madam Su can come to me if you have any questions or problems. I will definitely help you if I can."

He now feels that Su Man is not a simple person, and he gets along well with Su Man, so he naturally wants to spend more time with her.

His intuition told him that if he established a good relationship with Su Man, it would definitely be beneficial in the future.

Su Man nodded to Doctor He, then left with Old Man Fan and the others.

Lin Yue Niang and Aunt Mei were both a little dizzy. They thought that Su Man's acquaintance with the owner of Youran Ju was impressive enough, but they didn't expect that she was also so familiar with Doctor He from Huichun Hall.

Su Man is really getting more and more powerful!

Somehow, the two of them actually felt a little proud.

Su Man got on the carriage and prepared to go home. When she arrived at the town entrance and was about to head to the village, she suddenly heard a mournful howl.

Su Man looked towards the roadside and found a girl hugging a woman and crying, calling "Mom" constantly.

Su Man knew that she shouldn't be soft-hearted, but she couldn't help but stop the carriage to ask. At this time, Old Man Fan also got off the carriage, and Lin Yue Niang and Aunt Mei also stuck their heads out of the carriage to look.

Su Man came to the mother and daughter and asked in a gentle voice,

"Your mother is sick. Do you mind if I help her? I know a little bit about medicine. This is my uncle, who also knows medicine."

The girl looked to be about fifteen or sixteen, with a somewhat dirty face. Su Man thought it looked like it was done on purpose, but judging from this, her facial features were pretty good.

The girl was still crying helplessly, but when she heard Su Man's words, she immediately knelt down in front of the two of them.

"Sister, uncle! Please save my mother, please, please, as long as you save my mother, I will definitely repay you well, no matter what you want, I will agree to it, please."

The little girl was crying so hard that Su Man comforted her.

"It's okay, just let your mother lie down first, and we'll take a look at you."

The little girl quickly laid her mother down, and then looked at Su Man with tears in her eyes.

The woman had already fallen into a coma. Old Man Fan took her pulse and then gave her a few acupuncture needles.

At this time, Lin Yue Niang and Aunt Mei also got off the carriage with worried looks on their faces, wanting to see if there was anything they could help with.

"She caught a cold, was exhausted, and was too hungry, which caused her to fall into a coma."

When Su Man heard this, she walked back to the carriage, took out two buns and handed them to the little girl.

"Take it. It's still warm. Give some to your mother. Do you have any water?"

The little girl didn't dare to answer it, and at that moment her mother opened her eyes and woke up again.

"Shui'er! Shui'er!"

As soon as the woman woke up, she shouted for water, and the little girl responded immediately.

"Mom, I'm here, I'm here, don't be afraid, don't be afraid, I'm here."

When the woman woke up and saw her daughter, she was immediately relieved. However, when she saw so many people surrounding them, she became scared again and subconsciously protected her daughter.

Shui'er quickly explained to her mother that these people were there to save them. After hearing this, the woman expressed her gratitude to Su Man with an apologetic look on her face.

Su Man and the others didn't care, and Su Man even gave the two buns in her hand to Shui'er.

"Don't think too much, eat something quickly, otherwise you will faint again. If you don't want your mother to faint again, eat the buns quickly."

Shui'er took the bun immediately with gratitude in her eyes and gave it to her mother first.

The woman was embarrassed to eat it, or didn't want to eat it, and just wanted to leave it for her daughter.

Su Man saw her emotions and said something directly.

"You'd better eat it quickly. Your daughter is young. How will she live if you faint? It will only make her suffer more."

It must be said that Su Man's words finally made the woman sober up. After thanking her, she immediately asked Shui'er to eat with her.

The mother and daughter ate voraciously and quickly finished a small bun. Finally, they each drank two sips of water and felt much more energetic.

Aunt Mei felt very sad when she saw this scene. This orphan and his widowed mother were so pitiful to see.

"Sister, where are you going with your daughter? Why is there no man around? Look at how helpless your daughter is when you are sick."

When the woman heard this, she couldn't help but burst into tears.

Shui'er then hugged her mother and told her about her experience.

"My mother and I ran away from home because my father wanted to marry me to an old man as a concubine and then find a wife for my elder brother. My eldest brother was born to my father's previous wife.

It’s just that my mother didn’t want to let me down, and she ran desperately for me. But we didn’t have any money, and she was panicked, so my mother fell ill. It’s all because of me, because I’m a girl. If I were a boy, my father wouldn’t have sold me, and my mother wouldn’t have become like this to save me. It’s all because of me, it’s all because of me…”
