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

"Uncle He, my uncle is currently living in my house, but I don't know if he will come back in the future. While my uncle is still here, you can come and see him if you have any illness, provided that he is free and willing.

Of course, there is one more thing that must be made clear, that is, you have to pay for medical treatment, you can't get it for free. Of course, you don't have to pay, if you don't have money, you can give something at home, but in short, you can't get it for free."

Su Man knew that what she said was a bit harsh, but things had to be made clear.

She knew that once free things were offered, everyone would be attracted to them. What would happen to her family? What would happen to Old Man Fan?

Old man Fan smiled happily, knowing that Su Man was protecting him.

"Indeed, what Man Yatou said is right. I am old now, and I can't have all kinds of people coming to me for treatment every day. By then, there will definitely be a lot of people coming to me continuously, and I don't have that much time. I came here this time just to cure Man Yatou's man."

Su Man curled the corners of her mouth slightly. Okay, this old man Fan is quite sensible.

"Of course, Uncle He, if it's a matter of life and death, he won't sit idly by."

You can't be a too nice person, and you won't be a completely bad person either.

He and his uncle all understood what Su Man meant, and he was very satisfied with just this.

He knew how important Su Man was to Old Man Fan. As long as Su Man stayed in their village, Old Man Fan would never leave.

"It's great that you can do this." Aunt Cui also sighed.

At this time, if there was a doctor in a village, he would be very powerful.

"Okay, you have said everything you need to say, and now it's time for me to talk about my own story." Su Man said.

Now everyone, including the two children, looked at her.

Su Man took out a red raw pepper from the side and placed it on the table.

"Uncle He, aunt, to be honest, I am now doing business with Youranju, which is also a cooking business, so I need some things. You know this thing called chili, we have it in the back mountain.

Tomorrow you can all go to the mountain and pick them for me, or you can find two more people to go with you. It’s five cents a pound, and one hand will deliver the fruits while the other hand will pay.”

"What? Five cents a pound?" Aunt Cui and Aunt Mei exclaimed.

Aunt Mei: "Girl, don't you know how expensive firewood and rice are if you don't run a household? Five cents a pound is very expensive. Normally, men working at the docks only earn thirty cents a day, but you're actually paying five cents a pound?"

Aunt Cui was also worried. "Yes, Sister Mei is right. Five cents a pound is already very expensive. There are plenty of people who want to pick the ones at one cent a pound."

"It's okay, aunts. I know my limits." Su Man said, "It'll be tomorrow. Because I'm in a hurry, you can bring two more aunts or sisters with you tomorrow. Gather at my house in the morning and I'll tell you in detail then.

By the way, I don’t like nosy people, I hope the people you find are as easy to talk to as you are, or those who are poorer will be given priority.”

As soon as Su Man said this, the village chief understood, and immediately sighed and said,

"Xiao Su, the village chief thanks you on behalf of the villagers. Thank you for thinking so much about them."

Aunt Mei, Aunt Cui, and Lin Yue Niang finally understood what the village chief meant after hearing what he said. They immediately praised Su Man again, making Su Man numb.

This was the first time someone praised her like this, and she was a little uncomfortable with it.

Dabao and Xiaobao sat obediently beside Su Man. They were very happy to hear these people praising their mother. Both children felt a little elated.

In the past everyone hated their mother and looked down on them, but now everyone praises their mother. It feels really good.

"Okay, auntie, stop praising me. I feel a little uncomfortable if you keep praising me like this. And I have other things to ask you. If you keep talking, it will waste time."

Su Man had no choice but to interrupt them, otherwise she didn't know how long she would be praised.

Although it feels good to be praised, I can’t stand it if I keep being praised like that.

Several people quickly shut up and looked at Su Man.

Now they know that Su Man is someone who can do great things, so they must not delay any longer.

Su Man ignored their gazes and looked directly at the village chief and asked,

"Village Chief, are those wastelands behind my house unoccupied? If I want to buy them all, how much silver would it cost?"

Su Man’s words stunned the village chief and the others.

Even Old Man Fan was a little confused and curious. The place at the back was not small. What was the purpose of buying such a big place?

"Xiao Su, what are you going to do? What are you going to do with such a big place?"

"I have a use for it. I also want to buy the land on the right. Now that I have money, I want to buy more land to support myself. After all, my family doesn't have any land. I have to think about the future of myself and my two children, right?"

She said this with an innocent look on her face, and finally sighed heavily, as if there was no other way to live.

When they heard this, they all felt sorry for her. After all, everyone knew what kind of life she led.

The two children lowered their heads, their eyes showing some pain and hurt.

Actually...it's all because of them, otherwise my stepmother wouldn't be like this.

Old Man Fan now feels like he is the only one sober while everyone else is drunk. He knows that this girl is definitely not what she seems to be.

"You are right. We are farmers, and only land can provide us with foundation." The village chief said, "But these lands cannot be used for farming or anything. There is no use for buying them. If you want to buy land, I will see if there is anyone in the village who is eager to sell it, or I can ask someone to help you open up some wasteland."

Su Man shook her head. "Thank you, Uncle He, but I want the land around my house. I've seen it before, and the land in the backyard is suitable for growing what I want, and I will also have a use for the land next to it in the future."

She changed her mind today. She would not leave here. Instead, she would take root in her heart. However, she would make Fu Xiu, the man, leave here.

Because she figured it out, it's not difficult to find a new place in this era, but she suddenly didn't want to leave and was too lazy to leave, so she might as well stay in Dahe Village, after all, it was a familiar place.

By then, she will set up a family business, watch her two children get married and have children, and then she can make some money and live a good life with the space, which seems not bad.

As for that man Fu Xiu, well... wait until she makes enough money, and then use the money to make that man leave quickly, the farther the better.

So she didn't want there to be more people living near her house in the future, so she could only buy the surrounding land now.

"Okay, if you've made up your mind, I'll help you buy the land. The land around your house is considered wasteland, so the price is not expensive, but the place is quite large, plus the hard work fee for the yamen runners, it might cost forty or fifty taels."

"It's okay. I can make money now, so I can buy it."

In fact, this forty or fifty taels is still within Su Man's acceptable range, and she even thinks it is quite cheap.

The village chief also smiled after hearing this.

"Okay, okay, then your aunt will go pick the peppers for you tomorrow, and I will help you measure the land, and then go to the government office with you to transfer the ownership the day after tomorrow."

"Okay, I'll trouble you then. I'll have other things for you to help me with after Lazi comes back. Anyway, I'm inviting others, so it's the same as inviting you. I'll take you to live a good life together then."

Su Man smiled at a few people. She thought, maybe there is another way to live life.

These people helped the original body a lot, so even if it was to help the original body repay the debt, she would take good care of these people.

The most important thing is Aunt Mei and Yue Niang, both of whom are women. Maybe she can lead some poor women to live a self-reliant life.

Of course, the premise is that these people can still be led. If they really cannot be led, then she has plenty of ways to solve the problem.

After discussion, the village chief and his colleagues prepared to go back.

Su Man saw them out and saw Lin Yue Niang with her head down, looking as if she was worried about something.

After thinking for a while, Su Man gently patted her shoulder and asked in a low voice,

"Yue Niang, is there something you want to tell me?"

Lin Yue Niang looked up at Su Man and finally couldn't help but ask a question.

"Sister Su, can you really make money?"

She listened to Su Man say a lot today, and every word she said was that women can support themselves and don't have to rely on men.

"Of course, we have hands and feet, why not?" Su Man said with a smile, "Like I said just now, tomorrow the chili will be five cents per pound. If you are not afraid of hard work, can't you go? That way you can make money, right?

Besides, you usually sell handkerchiefs, so aren't you supporting yourself?"

Lin Yue Niang was stunned at first, then she smiled gently.

"I understand, Sister Su, thank you."

After they left, Su Man went to lock the gate of the yard, and when she turned around, she saw two children and Old Man Fan looking at her.

She raised her eyebrows and asked,

"What are you two doing there, staring at me? If you have anything to say, why don't you just tell me directly?"

Old Man Fan frowned and wanted to speak, but because of the two children being there, he was a little embarrassed to speak.

Su Man ignored him and walked straight to the two children.

"Do you two have anything you want to tell me?"

Dabao pursed his lips and looked at her without saying anything.

Xiaobao hugged Su Man's thighs excitedly.

"Mother! You just told the village chief that you wanted to buy some land? What are you going to buy the land for? Are you going to build a house? Ahhhh!! No, no! Mother, after you buy the land, are you not going to leave? Are you going to stay at home from now on?"

Su Man hummed in confusion.

"What do you mean by this? Are you trying to drive me away?"

"No, no!" Xiao Bao hurriedly shook his head, "We are just happy! We are just happy! In the past, we were afraid that mother would abandon me and my brother and not want us anymore!"

Dabao moved his lips, but in the end, no words came out. He... he still couldn't say it.

Su Man was so amused that she laughed out loud and reached out to pinch the two children's noses.

"You two little brats, why don't you believe your mother yet? Your mother said she would never leave you again, why don't you believe her? Don't say such things again in the future, or your mother will be angry.

Also, mother bought the land to build a big house and grow vegetables. The three of us must live a good life. After mother finds you wives, mother can spend her old age in peace!"

Su Man felt happy thinking about the days to come.

The two children raised their heads and looked at her. Even though it was night, one could tell that their eyes were as bright as stars.

Su Man likes these two children very much.

"Okay, I've explained almost everything. Now mother is going to make food for your father."

Su Man walked into the kitchen, followed closely by the two children.

Old Man Fan was in a daze and Su Man ignored him.

Su Man came to the kitchen to make egg custard for Fu Xiu. Just as she put the eggs into the pot, her clothes were gently pulled down.

She looked down in confusion and found that it was Dabao.

She looked at Dabao with surprise.

"Dabao, is there something you want to tell your mother?"

Dabao looked a little embarrassed, and finally nodded slightly.

"Thank you. Dabao and I will treat you well in the future."

Su Man's heart was so soft.

"Oh, okay, okay! Mother will definitely wait for you to grow up and accompany you as you grow up."

Dabao lowered his head embarrassedly.

When Xiaobao saw this, his eyes immediately widened.

Oh, my brother has finally come to his senses! He is actually so nice to mom!

"Mother, mother! I'm here too! I will treat you well and will never let you suffer so much in the future. You have to wait until we grow up!"

"Of course, mother will accompany you until you grow up." Su Man said with a smile.

But soon she thought of another thing. The two children were at the right age to go to school, but there was no school in the village.

Although it's not that she can't teach, she has a lot of things to do and can't spare the time all at once. How about teaching a little bit every night?

Just as Su Man thought of this, Old Man Fan at the door called out to her.

Su Man had no choice but to give her two children some instructions before leaving.

"Why did you ask me to come out?"

Old man Fan in the yard looked towards the kitchen, then pulled Su Man to Fu Xiu's room.

"Girl, why are you suddenly buying land and doing business? Didn't you say before that you would take the children away as long as you cured this man? But why are you suddenly setting up a family business now?"

Old Man Fan was really anxious. If Su Man really didn't leave, how could he help his apprentice find a wife?

Su Man shrugged indifferently.

"So what? Anyway, I can do whatever I want. I think this small village is not bad. It can be regarded as a paradise. As for when this man wakes up in the future, I will give him some money and let him go.

If he doesn't leave, I will kill him. At worst, I can pretend that he died accidentally. The two children will just be sad for a while, and I will make it up to them later."

Old Man Fan was shocked. Fu Xiu, who was unconscious on the bed, was also unconscious and angry.
