It's hard to be a stepmother, my disabled husband takes care of my child
Chapter 69: Shopkeeper Li's Conspiracy
"Okay, if you can tell me everything clearly, I will let you go. Otherwise, you won't survive tonight!"
The two of them nodded repeatedly.
"Who sent you here? What do you want to do with me?"
"It was Shopkeeper Li who asked us to arrest you. As for what they were going to do with you, we really don't know. He just asked us to bring you over, and there will be a big reward when the time comes."
"Yes, yes, yes, we are telling the truth. There is absolutely no lie."
The two of them sold out all of Manager Fu's property.
Su Man snorted coldly, quite surprised by this. She didn't expect that Shopkeeper Li was so persistent and sinister that he actually had such an idea.
She tore off a piece of rag from their clothes and used it to cover their mouths.
Anyway, he had asked all the necessary questions, and it was impossible for him to really kill these two people. After all, he did not want to damage his image in front of the two children, and he did not want the two children to see these bloody scenes so soon.
The two children admired Su Man more and more. The way Su Man dealt with those two men just now really surprised them.
Oh my! Their mother is so amazing that she can defeat two grown men by herself. Only they have such a mother!
"Mom, how can you be so awesome? Who taught you to be so awesome? Can you teach me and my brother?" Xiaobao's face was full of excitement, and his little face was red with excitement.
Dabao was also very excited. He also wanted to learn Kung Fu very much so that he could protect himself well. Most importantly, he could protect his family and the people he wanted to protect.
Su Man looked down at the two excited children and felt a little amused.
"You really want to learn Kung Fu? But learning Kung Fu is very tiring, and you will soon be learning to read and write, so you won't be able to split your time."
"We are not afraid." The two children said in unison.
"Okay, okay, since you are not afraid of hard work, then after I have arranged everything, I will teach you how to practice martial arts, okay? But starting from tomorrow, I can teach you a set of Tai Chi first, and then you two can practice Tai Chi every morning. This will be good for your future martial arts training."
Su Man thought about it carefully and decided that it would be a good idea to let the two children exercise first.
The two children cheered.
"Mom, then we will listen to you! My brother and I are not afraid of hard work, but I'm sorry to trouble you, mom." Xiaobao said caringly.
Dabao also wanted to speak, but in the end he didn't know how to start.
Su Man said happily, "It's not hard, it's not hard at all for mother, mother is happy to teach you.
But before that, I have something to tell you. Once you start, you can't stop. No matter how hard it is, you have to stick to it. I will never agree to you giving up halfway. Can you do this?"
"Sure!" The two children agreed without even thinking about it.
The smile on Su Man's face became brighter.
"You are worthy of being my mother's son! Let's go! Let's go home!"
The two children nodded repeatedly. In fact, they had never been away from their father for such a long time in the past two years, and these two days had made them miss Fu Xiu very much.
If Su Man hadn't been there with them, they would never have left Fu Xiu's side.
The two men in the alley had their mouths gagged and their hands tied behind their backs. The funniest thing was that there was a piece of paper hanging in front of them with words written in blood.
'We are scum.'
When Su Man returned to the restaurant with her two children, it was still crowded. She stood at the door and looked at the deserted Zui Xiang Lou.
When I looked up, I saw Manager Li coming out.
As their eyes met, Shopkeeper Li's face froze. Why was this woman still here? Shouldn't she be...
Su Man didn't know what Manager Li was thinking. Instead, she smiled at him provocatively and then led the two children in.
Shopkeeper Fu was sitting at the counter watching the accountant fiddling with the abacus.
However, as soon as he saw Su Man and the two children, he immediately came out from the counter.
"Hey, Xiao Su, you guys are finally back. How was it? Did you have fun? Are you happy? Did anyone bully you?"
Shopkeeper Fu was like a worried old father, asking a lot of questions in a nagging manner.
"Nothing." Su Man smiled lightly, "Let's go to the backyard and talk."
When Manager Fu heard this, he knew that something must have happened, so he nodded immediately.
When we arrived at the backyard, there were two guys busy arranging the vegetables.
As soon as Manager Fu came in, he asked the two waiters to go out first.
Su Man also saw a pile of cloth stacked on the carriage next to her, and knew that the owner of the cloth shop had already delivered the goods.
"Xiao Su, has something happened?" Shopkeeper Fu asked anxiously.
Su Man shook her head first, then nodded.
"Tsk... this incident did happen a little, but it's not a big deal."
"No matter whether it's a big thing or a small thing, you still have to tell me. My old bones can still help a little."
"It was the boss of the Zui Xiang Lou across the street who hired someone to kidnap me, but after I took them to the alley, I tied them up instead. They admitted to me that it was the shopkeeper Li of Zui Xiang Lou who asked them to do it. I just wanted to warn you, lest the shopkeeper Li resort to any despicable means again."
When Shopkeeper Fu heard Su Man's words, his face instantly darkened.
"Okay, okay, I had good intentions to put my trust in him, but I didn't expect him to do such despicable things again. It's really bad! Just wait and see how I deal with him next!"
Shopkeeper Fu was so angry that he was shaking all over. How dare this guy surnamed Li bully Su Man and the two children like this? If he didn't teach him a lesson, he would not be named Fu!
"Anyway, they can't take advantage of me now, and they won't be able to in the future. I just want to remind you that I'm afraid he will attack the restaurant. After all, some people will not care about anything when they go crazy."
"Humph! If he dares to attack the restaurant, I will make him come alive but not return alive. But before that, he must have a chance to come to my You Ran Ju."
After hearing what Manager Fu said, Su Man didn't say anything. Anyway, she just wanted to remind Manager Fu.
As for Manager Fu's methods, she thought they would not be too bad, especially since he had the support of County Magistrate Wei Yan behind him.
"But you can't let your guard down." Shopkeeper Fu looked at Su Man worriedly again, "Although you got away with it this time, don't try to be brave next time you encounter something like this, otherwise you will easily suffer. If you have any problems, just come back to me."
"Grandpa Fu!" Xiao Bao called out to Shopkeeper Fu, "My brother and I are watching over Mom. My brother also told me to come back to you if Mom can't beat them, so don't worry. Mom is very powerful. She beat those two guys to a pulp!"
Xiao Bao couldn't help but get excited when he thought about how powerful his mother was just now.
Their mother must be the only one in the world who is so powerful! No one else is so powerful!
Shopkeeper Fu thought Xiaobao was joking. He thought that Xiaobao must have a deep admiration for Su Man, so he thought Su Man was very powerful.
He thought that although Su Man was a good cook and had a unique personality, she was still a woman after all, and it was easy for her to suffer losses in some things.
"Okay, okay, Grandpa Fu was just a little worried and said that casually, don't take it seriously and don't get angry."
Xiao Bao: "Grandpa Fu, we are not angry. We just want to tell you that mom is really amazing and you don't have to worry."
Shopkeeper Fu was so delighted by Xiaobao's words that he kept saying several good words.
Seeing that it was getting late, Su Man also said that she wanted to go back to her hometown.
Shopkeeper Fu had always been thinking about Fu Xiu, so when Su Man suggested going back, he agreed immediately.
"Okay, okay, let's go, I'm ready."
"Are you ready?" Su Man asked subconsciously.
"Yes, everything is ready. I have to prepare some gifts when I go to your house for the first time." Shopkeeper Fu said with a smile.
Su Man nodded and said nothing more. After all, she couldn't stop Manager Fu from bringing gifts.
But when she saw that Manager Fu was accompanied by two followers, and one of the followers was driving a carriage that was filled with things, she couldn't help but twitch her lips, thinking that it was a bit too much.
"Uncle Fu, are the gifts for these two carriages too many?"
She knew very well the purpose of Manager Fu's visit to her house, but she still felt that the two large carriages were a bit too full.
"Not much, not much." Shopkeeper Fu said nonchalantly, "One of these carriages holds your cloth, and the other carriage holds the things I want to take. The things are not expensive and not much, so you can keep them."
The main reason was that he saw Su Man bought so many defective cheap linens, and the two young masters were wearing cotton clothes. He felt really uncomfortable. If he didn't do something, how could he be worthy of the surname Fu?
Su Man sighed, and felt helpless when she saw Manager Fu getting into her carriage.
But Shopkeeper Fu seemed to have already thought of an excuse. As soon as he saw Su Man's eyes, he immediately gave an explanation.
"I feel that the two children are a little bored and unsafe staying in the carriage. It would be better if I accompany them and take care of them a little bit."
Su Man didn't say anything after hearing this excuse, but after leaving the town, she said something ambiguous.
"Uncle Fu, I hope you are really just going to my house to have a good look and have some fun like you said. Please don't make any mess. I don't want to cause any other trouble now. I just want to spend time with my two children."
Shopkeeper Fu paused. He looked at Su Man driving the carriage and felt that Su Man seemed to know something. However, he knew very well that she would not discover anything.
So Manager Fu just laughed and said,
"Xiao Su, just rest assured. I said I was going to your house to play, and I'm going to your house to play. I'm unfamiliar with the place and I haven't been to your village. Of course I'm just going to take a look. How could there be any trouble, right?"
Su Man didn't say anything. She couldn't trust Manager Fu 100% right now.
Shopkeeper Fu didn't ask any more questions, but just kept talking to the two children along the way, and he seemed to be in a very good mood.
But in fact, it was only Xiaobao who talked to him, and Dabao just hummed occasionally.
Following the tail end of the sunset, Su Man's carriage entered the village.
As soon as the carriage entered the village, the villagers were immediately surprised. After all, there were three carriages coming at once, which was really curious.
They recognized the first car, which belonged to the Fu family at the foot of the mountain.
But what about the two carriages behind? They followed Su Man's carriage into the village. Could they also be going to the Fu family?
I heard that Su Man was doing business with Youran Ju in the town, and also made some money with those women in the village. Now it seems to be true.
Many people hurriedly followed, just wanting to join in the fun.
Aunt Mei usually has nothing to do at home, so she likes to chat with some women under a big tree. When she saw Su Man's carriage coming back, she immediately followed.
"Xiao Su, you're back! I missed you so much."
"Aunt Mei, I'm back. I brought Manager Fu back with me. Go and call Uncle He, Aunt Cui, and Yue Niang to come home for dinner."
Aunt Mei just thought about it for a moment and then nodded in agreement.
"Okay, okay, you go back first, I'll go find the village chief and the others right away."
After saying that, Aunt Mei turned around and ran away. If it were any other time, she would not have said that she was going to Su Man's house for dinner, so as not to cause trouble for Su Man.
But now that Manager Fu came along, they had to go together, not only to support Su Man, but also to have dinner together to avoid any gossip from the villagers.
The other people who were watching the fun naturally heard what Su Man said. They exclaimed in surprise again. They didn't expect that Su Man would not only do business with Youran Ju, but the owner of Youran Ju would actually take the initiative to come to Su Man's house.
What kind of luck does Su Man have?
Some people curiously followed Su Man to her doorstep.
Su Man got off the carriage, looked at the villagers who were watching, and said something helplessly in her heart.
"Everyone, don't just stand there and watch. I have guests at home today."
"Hey, Xiao Su, we are just a little curious about who the guests are that have come to your house."
"Yes, yes. I just heard you ask Aunt Mei if he was the owner of Youranju? What is the owner going to do in your house?"
As these people were asking questions at once, Shopkeeper Fu also got off the carriage, followed by the two children.
When the villagers saw Manager Fu coming down, they fell silent immediately, because in the eyes of these country folk, Manager Fu was a person of very high status.
Moreover, Manager Fu's gorgeous clothes and imposing appearance made them dare not speak carelessly.
Su Man saw the reactions of these people and felt helpless, but she also understood that this was a common problem among the lower classes.
Once they see someone who is slightly better off, they will become self-doubting and feel inferior.
