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

"Mom, you are so awesome! You don't even know that my whole body was glowing when you said those words just now! My brother and I want to be like you!" Xiaobao said happily.

Dabao: "We won't become bad people in the future. We will grow up to be good people."

Su Man pinched the cheeks of the two children.

"Okay, mother is very happy to hear what you said. Mother hopes that you can grow up happily, and also hopes that you can understand one truth: everyone in this world is born equal, men and women are equal, and women are also human beings, but you must not look down on others just because they are women, understand?"

"I know mother! Mother is a woman, how could I look down on mother! In my heart, mother is the best and most powerful!"

Xiao Bao's words made Su Man very happy.

"You are so sweet. It makes mother very happy."

When Dabao saw this, he also wanted to say something to make Su Man happy, but he didn't know what to say.

Su Man glanced at Dabao and knew what Dabao was thinking.

"Dabao is the older brother, so he will definitely think the same as his younger brother, right?"

Dabao was a little surprised. He didn't expect Su Man to know what he was thinking.

This made him feel happy, so he nodded vigorously.

Su Man touched his head, then moved the peppers under the eaves and began to prepare dinner.

I plan to make something different tonight! And it’s cooked in one pot.

When Aunt Cui returned home, she immediately told the village chief what Su Man had done.

After listening to this, the village chief couldn't help but sigh a few times.

"Maybe, our village won't be such a poor village anymore. Maybe Xiao Su will lead us to become rich and live a good life together."

Aunt Cui rolled her eyes at him. "You only think about getting rich every day. Can you think of something else? For example, when will Xiao Su's man wake up? Can her uncle really cure Xiao Su's man?

Although Xiao Su can live well without that man, having another man will make Xiao Su suffer. "

"I'm not thinking about getting rich, I'm just thinking about the people in the village. Look at our village now? None of the young men can afford to marry.

If this continues, our village will no longer be called Dahe Village, but simply the Village Without Wife! If Xiao Su can make our village live a good life, I will definitely let the villagers remember her kindness. "

Aunt Cui snorted coldly and tossed the copper coins in her hand in front of the village chief. The jingling sound made Aunt Cui feel extremely happy.

"Father, you better watch out. I can make money now. If you dare to treat me badly, I will take my two sons with me and live alone! You can live alone!"

The village chief was stunned for a moment. He looked Aunt Cui up and down, and finally just shook his head helplessly.

"You are so old, why are you still talking nonsense?"

"I'm not talking nonsense!" Aunt Cui retorted, "Xiao Su said that women can be self-reliant and can hold up half the sky!

Oh! I'm going to wash myself now, eat something, and rest before going to Xiao Su's house. She said that she would give us 50 coins each after these two days! 50 coins each!"

The village chief frowned, "Are you really going to take Xiao Su's money? It's not easy for her to take care of two children. I will help her if I can. How can you ask for money?"

Aunt Cui rolled her eyes at the village chief again.

"Do you think I haven't thought of what you've thought of? We didn't ask for money at the beginning. But Xiao Su said that these businesses belonged to her and Youranju, and no matter who was asked to do it, they would have to pay. She also said that if we didn't accept it, she would find someone else to do it next time, and they would also have to pay.

It doesn't matter if it's given to others or given to me. If it's given to me, we can help her do better, at least it won't let others take advantage of the situation and bully Xiao Su. What's more, think about Xiao Su's personality. If she doesn't want money, how could she let us help? She, as you said, just wants to help us."

After she finished speaking, she left, leaving the village chief alone, shaking his head and sighing.

As expected, Xiao Su is really like that. She always thinks about the villagers.

He had never realized that the girl had such a side before. It really made him feel relieved.

Su Man made a big pot of clay pot rice tonight. This clay pot rice cooked over wood fire was so delicious.

She filled the pot with half sausage, half pork ribs, and some corn and carrot kernels.

She made her own modified version of the clay pot rice. Authentic Cantonese clay pot rice only contains meat and vegetables, and never contains fancy things like corn kernels and carrot kernels.

But the two children definitely prefer corn kernels and carrot kernels.

The rice crust in the clay pot rice is fragrant and crispy when you bite it. Su Man likes it very much.

The two children all like rice crust very much, except for Old Man Fan who has very poor teeth.

After dinner, Old Man Fan took the two children to feed Fu Xiu medicine and give him injections.

Xiaobao was still very interested in this, so he watched and asked questions carefully.

Dabao was not too interested but he was watching from the side, hoping to learn more so that he could take better care of his daddy in the future.

Su Man was fiddling with her chili peppers in the kitchen. She planned to dry the peppers directly over an open flame and then grind them into chili powder.

Finally, you have to make some five-spice powder. Five-spice powder can be used to cook many dishes. Various medicinal herbs and spices are ground into powder, and no one can taste the difference.

The first person to come over was Wang Nier.

Su Man was still very surprised when she saw her.

"Why did you come here so soon? Didn't I tell you to rest at home for an hour? It's not even an hour yet."

"Sister Su, I'm not tired. I'm used to it. I have nothing to do at home anyway, so it's good to come over early to help."

This was one of the reasons, but the most important thing was that when she returned home and saw the big bowl of rice, she felt so grateful that she couldn't express it in words, so she hurriedly ate a little bit of food and told her brother some things before coming over.

Sister Su has helped them so much, and she really wants to do something to repay Sister Su.

Su Man saw through what the child was thinking at a glance, but did not expose it. Instead, she smiled and said,

"You came just in time. I was just about to start getting busy."

"Really?" Wang Nier's eyes lit up a little. In fact, she was quite nervous and thought that she could not be of any help if she came here.

"Of course it's true, but have you had dinner? If not, I have some food here, eat first and then get busy."

"I've eaten, Sister Su. If you have anything to do, please let me help you. I'm not hungry at all."

She went home and cooked the remaining half bowl of white rice into porridge. She also added two potatoes to the porridge. It was really delicious!

She hadn't eaten white rice for a long, long time, so even porridge with potatoes tasted delicious to her.

Originally, their family’s food rations were not good, and two potatoes were the dinner for the two siblings.

She had a steamed bun and an egg left over from her lunch today, which she could save for tomorrow.

Seeing that Wang Ni'er didn't seem to be lying, Su Man nodded and asked Wang Ni'er to sit in the kitchen and use the small stone mill to start grinding flour.

Wang Nier found it very strange, especially when she saw Su Man drying the red peppers over an open flame, she became even more curious.

But she didn't ask any more questions. She felt that this was Sister Su's private matter and she just had to do her job well.

Following closely were the remaining four people, who came together.

I was a little surprised to see Wang Nier was already here.

Aunt Cui: "I said I went to your house to look for you but didn't see you. It turns out you were here a long time ago."

Wang Nier smiled slightly embarrassedly.

"I saw that there was nothing to do at home, so...so I thought of coming over early to help Sister Su."

Several adults kept praising Wang Nier for being sensible, which made her face turn red and she felt embarrassed.

But soon, they started asking Su Man to assign tasks for them.

Su Man told them one by one what to do. Although these people were very confused and curious, they tacitly did not ask too many questions and just worked quietly.

Time passed very quickly as we worked and chatted.

During this time, Dabao came over with teacups from home and poured water for everyone.

He asked several people to start praising Dabao.

Dabao had never been praised like this before and felt a little uncomfortable.

But he didn't care so much about these people's praise, he just...

He couldn't help but look at Su Man and found that Su Man was also looking at him with a smile.

"My Dabao is naturally the best!" Su Man raised her chin proudly.

Aunt Mei and the others couldn't help laughing again.

Although Dabao felt embarrassed, he pretended to be calm and left the kitchen.

Hua Niang and Lian Di both looked at Su Man with envy.

Hua Niang: "Sister Su, you don't know. You asked us to come here to work and let me take the money back. This is the first time that my mother-in-law treats me so well. She even let me and my two daughters sit at the table for dinner. This is the first time I have sat at the table for dinner in my eight years of marriage. She has always blamed me for not being able to give birth to a son."

Lian Di: "Yes, yes! Me too. My mother-in-law smiled at me when I went home today! Although I know she was just pretending, it was the first time I felt respected like a human being."

As they talked, they couldn't help but have tears in their eyes. For them, today was the first time that they were respected as human beings.

Aunt Cui and Aunt Mei also sighed. They were also daughters-in-law before, but their mothers-in-law were not so fierce and overbearing, so they had not experienced the pain that Hua Niang and the others had experienced.

Everyone in the village knows what their mothers-in-law are like.

After listening to these words, Wang Nier secretly swore in her heart that she would never get married, and would never marry anyone casually. She would make good money and raise Gousheng well.

Su Man simply expressed sympathy for these words.

"Now they are just pretending to be nice to you because you can make money. You can't think they are really nice just because of this incident. Don't forget what I told you before."

Lian Di and Hua Niang nodded repeatedly.

"I know, we know. Of course we understand. We are not stupid. We will not forget the pain we have experienced in the past just because of this incident."

Su Man nodded, it was good that the two of them had such awareness.

She was quite afraid that the two of them were hopeless.

Seeing that it was almost time, Su Man asked them to go back. When she went back, she also told them that they didn't need to come so early the next morning because she wanted to sleep in.

The next day, the news that Su Man hired someone to pick peppers and asked Aunt Mei and others to do the work spread.

The main reason is that the two mothers-in-law, Hua Niang and Lian Di, were showing off and saying that their daughters-in-law could make money.

She also said that she was doing business with Youran Ju, as if her family had established some extraordinary relationship. Her boastful look made the villagers jealous and envious.

I could earn 12 coins just by picking some peppers in the village? Is there such a good thing?

So when these people saw Aunt Mei and Aunt Cui, they immediately surrounded them and asked questions.

After all, they all knew that these two people had a good relationship with Su Man.

"Aunt Cui, ask Su Man if she needs anyone else? Ask her to see if we can go. We promise to do a great job, really!"

"That's right! We don't need twelve cents, ten cents is fine too!"

Hua Niang and Lian Di's mother-in-law became anxious immediately after hearing this.

"Hey, hey, hey! Do you have any shame? You are so shameless! Our daughter-in-law went to work first. Are you trying to steal her job? Do you have any shame?"

"That's right! All of you get out of here! Don't even think about stealing my job!"

The other people in the village were not going to accept this. They just wanted to ask, they didn't do anything. They just wanted to ask if they needed people. How could this be considered shameless?

Seeing that the war was about to break out, Aunt Mei and Aunt Cui looked at each other.

Aunt Cui: "Stop arguing, Xiao Su said that he will just finish these two days of work for now, and will let you help if there is something to do later. Don't even think about it now.

Don't bother Xiao Su. If Xiao Su gets angry and we lose our jobs, you won't have any hope of working for us in the future."

After she finished speaking, she left quickly with Aunt Mei.

As for the other three, they had already gone to Su Man's house.

The mothers-in-law of Hua Niang and Lian Di felt a pang in their hearts after hearing what Aunt Cui said.

At that moment, she decided in her heart that she must not let other people in the village go to find Su Man, otherwise they would suffer a great loss.

But even if no one dared to go to Su Man's house to ask, there were still quite a few people hanging around the door.

Su Man immediately noticed that there were more people at the door of her house, so she went to ask Aunt Mei and the others what had happened.

Aunt Mei and the others had no choice but to tell Su Man everything.

Hua Niang and Lian Di did not expect that their mother-in-law would cause such a big trouble, and they immediately apologized to Su Man.

Su Man didn't care and just let them do their job quickly.

As for the rest, she didn't care.
