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

On the other side, Manager Li of Zui Xiang Lou was also standing at the door, frowning as he looked at the closed door of Youran Ju.

They actually closed down for rectification? This is really strange. Shouldn't they take advantage of the victory and do more business while the iron is hot? Why did they close down for rectification after only two days of business? This is really strange.

"Boss, do you think Youranju can no longer operate? That's why it's closing down? In that case, can we become the largest restaurant in Baishi Town again?" said the waiter next to Boss Li.

"Idiot!" Shopkeeper Li scolded him, "Think about their business over the past two days. Doesn't it look like they can't make any money?"

"Boss, that's not what I meant. What I meant was that the chef of Youranju is no longer good. Didn't the woman who competed with us just come to town today? Maybe they didn't reach an agreement, and that woman is unwilling to help Youranju."

When Shopkeeper Li heard this, he seemed to understand everything all of a sudden. What he said was not without reason.

Maybe the woman wanted to ask for a huge amount of money, or she had an argument with Youran Ju, so it was normal that Youran Ju could not open the door all of a sudden.

"I asked you to keep an eye on that woman. Where is she now? When she shows up, tie her up and bring her to me immediately. I don't believe that I can't cure a woman."

Shopkeeper Li didn't take Su Man seriously at all. After all, she was just a woman to him.

So what if a woman cooks delicious dishes? It still cannot change the fact that she is a woman.

"Okay, I understand. Don't worry, I'll have someone keep an eye on her. That woman is still in Youranju and hasn't shown up yet, but the kitchen in Youranju..."

The waiter suddenly couldn't continue.

"What happened in the kitchen?" Shopkeeper Li asked.

"But there was always a burst of delicious aroma coming from the kitchen, so...so I don't know if Youranju hired someone to cook something, or hired another chef."

When Shopkeeper Li heard this, his face turned dark and his eyes became extremely dark.

"Don't worry about it for now. As soon as that woman shows up, I'll capture her. As long as I catch her, I'll have plenty of ways to make her spit out those cooking recipes!"

The waiter nodded repeatedly.

"Okay, now hurry up and cook more dishes. Take advantage of the two days when Youranju is closed to make more money. Also, ask Chef Wang and his brother to cook more new dishes to keep customers. Got it?"

"I know, I know. Don't worry, shopkeeper. I will keep a close eye on it."

Su Man had no idea that someone was planning to capture her. She was now concentrating on teaching the chefs how to cook.

Wei Yan in the lobby had also finished his meal. He looked at the two children and then said something to Shopkeeper Fu.

"It seems like someone is watching the backyard."

"I know Master Wei. He is from Zui Xiang Lou anyway. He is just upset because he lost the competition last time. Plus, our Youran Ju is closed today. I am afraid he will get suspicious. So he is watching us in secret."

"Okay, as long as you know how to deal with it." Wei Yan knew Manager Fu's methods and he was just giving him a reminder.

Su Man originally thought that Wei Yan was just here to see Manager Fu and would go back soon, but she didn't expect that Wei Yan was still there during dinner, and he looked like he wanted to have dinner here.

Su Man sighed. At this point, how could she not see that Manager Fu and the county magistrate had an unusual relationship?

Wei Yan was also looking at Su Man in a daze. He didn't expect that Fu Xiu actually liked Su Man's type.

Su Man really wanted to ignore Wei Yan, but Wei Yan's gaze was too obvious, making her feel a little irritated and uncomfortable.

The two children also noticed that Wei Yan had been looking at Su Man, and they immediately felt a little displeased.

"Uncle." Xiao Bao said to Wei Yan, "Can you please stop looking at my mother like that? My mother still needs to eat. She has been very hard today."

Wei Yan didn't expect that he would be caught by a little kid, which made him feel a little embarrassed.

Fu Yi and the others also looked at Wei Yan.

"Ahem..." Wei Yan coughed pretending to be calm, "I was just wondering how your mother could make such delicious dishes, nothing else."

Xiaobao pouted. He felt that what his uncle said was not very reliable, but he couldn't tell where it was unreliable.

Su Man said something to Wei Yan.

"Master Wei, if you are not hungry, you can go back first. Otherwise, wouldn't it be a bit inappropriate for you to stay here? After all, you are the county magistrate, aren't you?"

"I'm the county magistrate outside, but here I'm Wei Yan. I thought we were already friends, but I didn't expect you to drive me away like this. It's really sad."

Su Man twitched her lips, feeling that this county magistrate was somewhat mentally ill.

"And..." Wei Yan suddenly glanced at Shopkeeper Fu again, "To be honest, I am now also another owner of Youranju, so we are in the same group now, and our relationship should be better than friends."

Su Man frowned and looked at Manager Fu with a questioning look.

Shopkeeper Fu didn't expect Wei Yan to say this, but he still nodded to Su Man.

"Xiao Su, I'm so sorry that I didn't have time to tell you at the beginning."

"It's okay." Su Man responded indifferently, but in fact she couldn't help feeling a little complicated.

If Manager Fu didn't show those emotions towards the two children, she would definitely be happy, because she would have found a backer.

In this town, a county magistrate can almost cover the sky with one hand.

But now it is obvious that Manager Fu knows the two children. Under such circumstances, knowing the relationship between Wei Yan and Youran Ju is not a good thing.

She picked up some food for the two children and now could only wait and see.

After dinner, Su Man took the two children back to her room.

Fu Yi said something earnestly to Wei Yan who was about to leave.

"Master Wei, Miss Su is now nominally our master's wife. You must not have any other thoughts, otherwise you will be sorry for our master."

Hearing this, Wei Yan was at a loss whether to laugh or cry.

"Fu Yi! What do you mean?" Wei Jin immediately said, "Our master is not that kind of person."

Fu Yi didn't say anything.

Shopkeeper Fu also didn't say anything. In fact, he also felt that there was something wrong between Master Wei and Su Man, but Fu Yi dared to say it and he didn't.

"Fu Yi." Wei Yan said with a smile, "You've known me for so many years, do I look like that kind of person in your eyes? Not to mention that a friend's wife should not be bullied, how could I possibly like Su Man? She's not the kind of girl I like."

Fu Yi lowered his head, "Master Wei, it's my fault."

"I don't blame you. You are also thinking about your master. Don't worry. I just talked so much with Su Man because I am interested in her excellent cooking skills and why your master chose her."

Wei Yan always chuckled and looked nonchalant, but only he knew whether what he said was true or false.

Shopkeeper Fu also spoke up at this time to smooth things over.

"Master Wei, don't blame Fu Yi. You know, they have always been thinking about my master. My master is the top priority in everything."

"Uncle Fu, don't worry. You know what kind of person I am. We have known each other for so many years. What can't be said?"

"Okay, okay, just don't be angry, Master Wei. Tomorrow's dishes will still be different. Do you want to try them, Master Wei?"

"Of course, this is a rare opportunity, so I must try it first. And when Su Man goes home, remember to find an excuse to go and see Fu Xiu together. Seeing how he looks now, you can feel at ease."

Shopkeeper Fu naturally agreed immediately. Even if Wei Yan didn't say it, he would still find an excuse to go and take a look.

How could he feel at ease if he didn't see his master with his own eyes?

Wei Yan took Wei Jin away.

Fu Yize winked at Shopkeeper Fu and left through the back door.

The direction he was heading was Dahe Village.

On the surface, Manager Fu can find an excuse to go and see it later, but now he must go and see it secretly first, otherwise they will not be at ease.

After searching for the master for so many years, I finally found him.

Su Man in the room was actually a little absent-minded, and the two children noticed something was wrong at the first moment.

Xiao Bao approached Su Man and asked cautiously,

"Mom, are you too tired from being busy today? Can Xiaobao give you a massage?"

Although he was asking Su Man, his two little hands had already started pinching Su Man's shoulders.

Dabao pinched the other shoulder.

The two children were so caring, and Su Man felt more and more complicated and uncomfortable.

Finally, she couldn't help but ask about the two children.

"Dabao and Xiaobao, if, mother is talking about if, if one day you have to choose between me and your father, who would you choose?"

The two children never thought that Su Man would suddenly ask such a question.

The two men stopped what they were doing and sat in front of Su Man.

Xiao Bao looked at Su Man with tears in his eyes and asked in a choked voice,

“Mother, are you…are you planning to abandon me and my brother? Wuuuu…How can you abandon me and my brother, wuuuu…”

Dabao pursed his lips, and his uneasy eyes revealed his uneasy and nervous mood at the moment.

Su Man didn't expect that her words would cause such a big reaction from the two children.

"No, no, I didn't say I didn't want you. You are my best treasures. How could I bear to give you up? What I meant is, if there comes a day like that, what will you choose?"

The two children were silent. On one side was their father, and on the other was their mother who had been with them all this time. They were reluctant to leave either of them, so they really had no way to choose.

Su Man looked at the two children in embarrassment and suddenly despised herself in her heart.

I am an adult now, how can I put so much pressure on two children under such circumstances?

"Oh, okay, okay, it's my question. I shouldn't ask you questions like that. Just pretend I didn't say anything. Tell me who won the puzzle. I have a reward for you."

After hearing what Su Man said, the two children felt a little better.

"Hehe..." Xiaobao couldn't help but laugh, "Mom, I won this time. I finished it first, and my brother was a little slower than me."

"Oh? Really? Xiaobao is so great." Su Man praised Xiaobao and then looked at Dabao.

Dabao nodded to her gently, "Xiaobao won."

Anyway, as long as my brother is happy, it doesn’t matter who wins.

Su Man curled her lips slightly, "Okay, then you turn around and mother will take out your rewards right away."

The two children sat obediently, but Dabao looked a little uncomfortable when his back was turned.

What's wrong with him now? Why does he listen to this woman so much? No matter what this woman says, he obeys her obediently.

But...but what this woman said does make some sense, so it seems there's nothing wrong with him listening to it, right?

Su Man took out two pieces of jade strung with red ropes from the space. The jade was round like a small copper coin and was top-grade Hetian jade.

This jade was the reward given to her by the customer when she completed her first mission. This jade is extremely good and can be said to be the kind that is in short supply.

Because this was the reward for her first mission and it meant a lot to her, she kept it well.

Recalling that she hadn't given her two children formal gifts yet, this one was just right. After all, there is a saying that jade nourishes people.

"Okay, turn around."

The two children's eyes widened when they turned and saw the two pieces of jade placed in front of them.

"Mom! What is this? Is it for us?" Xiaobao asked expectantly.

Su Man nodded and put one of them on Xiaobao.

"Yes, this jade pendant is for you. This jade nourishes people. Mother hopes that you can grow up safely wearing this jade. Didn't Xiaobao just say that he won? So this is your reward, and your brother's will also be rewarded, because your brother's is an encouragement award, so that your brother can work harder in the future, okay?"

"Okay." Xiaobao agreed obediently, and his hand couldn't help but touch the jade pendant on his chest again and again, unable to let it go.

Dabao was very happy when he saw Su Man putting the jade pendant on him.

"Thank you." He whispered to Su Man.

"I am your mother, you don't have to thank me." She rubbed Dabao's head.

"Dabao was great today too. He helped mommy take care of Xiaobao for so long."

Dabao's face turned slightly red, and he felt a little embarrassed, but he still said stubbornly,

"I'm not helping you. I'm just doing what I have to do as a brother."

Su Man couldn't help but smile.

"Okay, okay, whatever you say is fine. Then put the puzzle away and keep it at home. This is the first time you have completed a puzzle by yourself, so keep it as a souvenir."

The two children nodded perfunctorily because they had been looking down at the jade pendants that Su Man gave them.

They wore this jade pendant all their lives.
