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

"Su Man." Su Man took the initiative to say her name, "Are you just a laborer here?"

She seemed to have heard Aunt Cui say before that her two sons were working as laborers in the town.

"Sister Su, I'm sorry, I just forgot about it." Wang Ping'an scratched his head honestly, "But why are you here?"

"I came here to do something." Su Man smiled lightly.

As soon as she finished speaking, a middle-aged man hurried out from behind.

The middle-aged man looked directly at A Shui and completely ignored Su Man.

"Aren't you a waiter in Manager Fu's restaurant? Are you here because Manager Fu needs help with something?"

The middle-aged man's tone and smile were so flattering.

"Hello, Mr. Huang. This is another owner of Youranju. His surname is Su. Our shopkeeper Fu said he came to you to do something. He just wants to buy some porcelain jars."

After hearing what A Shui said, Boss Huang and Wang Ping'an were both stunned. They looked at Su Man with some disbelief.

Another owner of Youranju? The other owner is a woman?

"Hey... Young man, what do you mean by what you just said?" Boss Huang asked again to confirm?

"I say, this is another owner of our Youran Ju. Manager Fu asked us to come to you to buy some jars. Do you have them in stock? If not, we will go to other stores to have a look." A Shui's tone also became much tougher.

He just heard the disbelief and contempt in Boss Huang's tone, but Shopkeeper Fu had said that Miss Su must be treated well.

Of course, even if Manager Fu didn't say it, he would treat Miss Su well. After all, Miss Su helped him a lot, and her monthly salary increased a lot.

Su Man's reaction to A Shui was somewhat unexpected, but she had to admit that A Shui was indeed a smart man.

"No, no, no! Yes, yes, yes! I have it here!" Boss Huang didn't care about anything else, he knew it was impossible to lose the business he had obtained.

Now he also remembered the things that had been circulating in the town in the past few days. The competition between Youranju and Zuixianglou was won by a woman.

And I heard that the woman spoke very harshly, and now it seems that it must be this woman.

"Then... then Shopkeeper Su, please come with me. I have some ready-made goods here. Take a look and see if they are suitable. If not, you can make them to order."

Su Man nodded, "Then let's go and take a look first. If there's no problem, we can get the stock. If not, we can make it to order."

"Okay, okay, let's go." Boss Huang hurriedly led the way.

No matter whether they are men or women, as long as they have money to give, they are human beings.

Wang Ping'an watched Su Man and his boss leave, with some hesitation in his eyes, but in the end he couldn't help but follow them.

After all, she is a woman. What if she is cheated by her boss? It is better to follow her and see for yourself. After all, we are from the same village.

Boss Huang was happily talking to Su Man, but when he saw Wang Ping'an following him, he immediately became angry.

"Go, go, go, what are you following here for? Hurry up and get busy. Don't even think about being lazy."

His tone was completely different from when he spoke to Su Man.

Wang Ping'an looked a little uncomfortable, but he didn't turn around and leave. Instead, he wanted to speak.

But Su Man spoke before him.

"Boss Huang, he is my aunt's son, and I call him brother. This time, I heard from my aunt that Brother Ping'an was working here, so I came to see him and buy some cans. After all, I am also doing business, and there will be plenty of opportunities for cooperation in the future."

Su Man's words made Boss Huang pause for a moment, and finally he smiled and said,

"Okay, okay, then follow me. I didn't know your relationship just now, so let's go together."

Su Man nodded, and then followed Boss Huang into a room.

There are various jars and pots in the room.

"All the jars and pots are here. You can take a look first and see which one you need." Boss Huang introduced to Su Man.

Su Man walked around and soon saw one she liked.

"How much is this?" Su Man picked it up and took a look, and found that it was pretty good and the size was right.

"These are 40 cents each, and the quality is very good. They won't be easily damaged."

Boss Huang has been flattering her all the time. Actually, if it were anyone else, he would have offered fifty cents a long time ago. However, Su Man was from Youran Ju, and he had seen with his own eyes the manager Fu of Youran Ju and the county magistrate going in and out together, and they had a pretty good relationship.

In addition, Wang Ping'an also knew the price, so he did not make a random offer.

Su Man could still accept this price.

But she still glanced at Wang Ping'an. Wang Ping'an worked here and must know the prices.

An acceptable price is one thing, but it can’t be too expensive. She doesn’t want to be taken advantage of.

Wang Ping'an nodded slightly at Su Man.

"Okay, then just pack thirty for me first. I'll take thirty first and come back to you to buy more when I need them later." Su Man said.

"Thirty? Okay, okay, okay, okay. Then I'll have someone pack them up for you now." Boss Huang nodded repeatedly and was about to call someone.

It’s still okay to sell thirty of them at once.

"Boss, let me do it." Wang Pingan said proactively.

These small jars are of different quality. Some unscrupulous bosses will mix a few defective ones in. Wang Ping'an has seen it with his own eyes, so he took the initiative to speak up now.

Boss Huang had no objection and immediately asked Wang Ping'an to clean up.

The thirty jars were put into baskets covered with straw, filling two baskets.

After Su Man paid the bill, Wang Ping'an and another worker moved the basket into the carriage.

Su Man came to the carriage first and then took out a basket from it.

There were two apples and some biscuits in the basket.

She had packed this basket a long time ago and prepared it for Aunt Cui and the others, but she just never had time to give it to them.

Of course, she didn't find a chance to give it to them, because she had already let several people earn that money in the past few days, and if she gave them food again, she would definitely not want it.

Now Wang Ping'an can eat here. Boss Huang looks like a selfish person.

"Brother Ping'an, this is what my aunt asked me to bring you. She told you to eat well and get some rest."

Su Man handed the basket directly to Wang Pingan.

Wang Ping'an was very surprised. He thought Su Man's saying that his mother asked her to come and see him was just an excuse, but he didn't expect it to be true.

He looked at the things in the basket and really wanted to eat them.

but……

He looked at the two children, then smiled innocently and said,

"Sister Su, please give these to the two children. They are still young and need to eat more."

Su Man: "No, they have it. There is food at home. I don't lack food and clothes now. You should accept it quickly. It's my aunt's good intention."

The two children were also extremely smart, and they immediately nodded in agreement with Su Man.

Xiaobao: "Uncle, please eat it. We have a lot of it at home, really!"

After repeated persuasion from Su Man and the two children, Wang Pingan finally accepted the things.

"Ping An, are you familiar with this Su? Who is she? How could she be another shopkeeper of Youranju? It seems a little unbelievable for a woman to be a shopkeeper these days."

After Su Man and the others left, Boss Huang asked about Wang Pingan, and his eyes were especially fixed on the apples in Wang Pingan's basket.

This big, red apple is really tempting.

Wang Ping'an didn't notice Boss Huang's gaze and just answered Boss Huang's questions honestly.

"I don't know either. I haven't been home for a long time, so I don't know what happened recently."

Boss Huang naturally didn't believe what Wang Ping'an said. He just thought that Wang Ping'an was unwilling to tell him, which made him very unhappy.

But he didn't say it out loud, and just changed the subject to Apple.

"Ping An, your fruit looks very sweet and delicious. Do you like it? If you don't like it, why not sell it to me? I just need it."

Although Wang Ping'an was simple-minded, he was not stupid. Based on his understanding of Mr. Huang, although Mr. Huang said he wanted to buy from him, he would definitely not give him any money, or even not give him any money at all, so he just kept pretending to be stupid.

"Shopkeeper, I definitely like to eat them. My mother brought two here so that she could give one to my brother and me, so I won't sell them to you. But here are some snacks. Would you like to try some?"

He didn't know how his mother got these good things, but since Su Man could bring them to him, they must be from the family and must have been given by someone.

Seeing that Wang Ping'an was so rude, Boss Huang snorted angrily and turned away.

If it weren't for the fact that Wang Ping'an had some connection with Youran Ju, he really wanted to give him a good scolding.

This Wang Ping'an is so dull and doesn't make sense at all!

Wang Ping'an naturally knew that Boss Huang was angry, but there was nothing he could do. This was something his mother had specially sent to him, so how could he just waste his mother's kindness?

What's more, he has been working here for so long, but has not learned any skills and has not made any money. He is even thinking of giving up.

After all, his parents are old, and he should always think of other ways out, even if it is just going back home to farm or working at the dock to improve the family's life.

Su Man and the two children took a horse-drawn carriage to the market and got off. They asked A Shui to drive the carriage to take the things to Youran Ju and put them there first.

The two children were also very interested in the market here and kept watching it.

Su Man immediately found a wonton stall and ordered three bowls of wontons.

The two children must be starving as they didn't have breakfast so late.

The wontons from this stall are pretty average, with thick skin and little filling, and the taste is a bit too bland, but they are still edible.

Although the two children have been eating Su Man's meals for some time, it is indeed easy for them to taste the different flavors when eating this now.

It's just that the two of them had been hungry and cold for such a long time, and they understood the importance of food very well, so they didn't complain. Xiao Bao just complained to Su Man in a low voice.

"Mother, this isn't very tasty. It's not as good as yours."

Even Dabao nodded in agreement.

Su Man curled the corners of her mouth and answered the two children in a low voice.

"Mother knows, but no matter whether it tastes good or not, we have already bought it, so we have to finish it."

The two children nodded obediently.

While eating the wontons, Su Man had a vague idea in her mind.

Although there are restaurants, noodle stalls, and steamed buns and wontons here, the taste is average, and there is no store that sells all kinds of noodles, rice, porridge, and steamed buns. It would be really delicious if soy milk was added!

Just like Youranju and Zuixianglou, they only serve rice and stir-fried dishes.

So maybe she could get one, and it shouldn't affect Youranju's business.

Su Man went over the matter in her mind and then put it aside because she had a more important plan to implement first.

After eating wontons, Su Man and her two children went to eat pancakes, but the taste was average, but at least they filled their stomachs.

They went to the bookstore to buy enlightenment books and pens, ink, paper and inkstone. Su Man bought only medium-quality ones.

After all, the two children are still in the enlightenment stage, so there is no need to buy the best for the time being. We can buy the best ones when they go to school later.

Of course, even if you bought a medium-quality one, it still cost fifty taels of silver. No wonder they said they couldn't afford to go to school.

The two children had no idea what fifty taels meant, but they knew it was a lot of money. They felt a little guilty and even asked Su Man not to buy anything when they were paying the bill in the store.

But how could the two little brats beat Su Man? In the end, of course they just bought it!

"Mom, let's not buy so much, and let's not buy such expensive things. You work hard to earn money." After leaving the store, Xiaobao couldn't help but speak.

Dabao remained silent, but guilt could be clearly felt on his little face.

"Don't worry, mother has already said that I am rich. Mother has plenty of money. Look how many people are in the restaurant today? Mother can earn back all your money in one day."

No matter what Su Man said, the two children still felt a little guilty, and they wanted to work harder and treat their mother better in the future.

Su Man took the two children to the cloth shop to help Wang Nier buy cloth.

The proprietress of this cloth shop was already very familiar with Su Man. After all, Su Man had made two large purchases here, both without even bargaining for the price.

"Girl, you're here again? What do you want to buy this time?"

"Give me a quilt, and some cotton, and do you have any cheap linen? I want to see some cheap linen."

"Linen?" The proprietress was a little surprised. In the past, this girl always bought cotton cloth, so why was she buying linen now?

Su Man saw what the proprietress was thinking, so she explained it directly.

"I bought the linen for someone else. Her family is having a hard time."

The proprietress understood immediately when she heard it.

"Girl, to be honest, I do have a batch of linen that has some flaws. It was dyed the wrong color. If the family you bought it for doesn't mind, I'll sell it to you at a low price. It's also a way of thanking you for supporting my business for so long."
