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

Since Uncle He was accompanying Manager Fu, she went straight to the yard and waited with Lin Yue Niang for the villagers to come.

As soon as she went out, she saw Old Man Fan sitting under the eaves, looking depressed. The two children were beside him, especially Xiaobao, who kept asking Old Man Fan if he was angry or unhappy.

But Old Man Fan kept saying no.

Su Man knew what Old Man Fan was thinking at this glance. She just found it a little funny. How could he still be jealous at such an old age?

"I said that there are guests at home. You are my uncle after all. Shouldn't you help me go in and greet them?"

Old man Fan, who was originally depressed, immediately became happy when he heard this.

"Oh, you're right, I'm the host and he's the guest. He's the guest."

Old man Fan rushed into the living room excitedly, and with the look of a host, he asked Manager Fu about his well-being.

Manager Fu was very confused and puzzled by Old Man Fan's reaction, but he didn't think about it too much. He just thought that Old Man Fan was also very enthusiastic.

From the first time he saw Old Man Fan, he felt that this man looked familiar, and he felt so even more now.

I seem to have seen this person somewhere before, but I can't remember where.

Dabao and Xiaobao were also a little confused.

Xiaobao: "Mother, what happened to my uncle? Why did he change so quickly? Wasn't he unhappy just now? Why is he so happy now?"

"Because, he might think that we let Grandpa Fu come to our house as a guest because we don't like him. Especially when he saw you and Grandpa Fu having fun, he was afraid that you wouldn't like him as your uncle."

Su Man did not gloss over the matter simply because the two children were young. Instead, she tried her best to explain it to the two children.

The two children were stunned for a moment, and finally curled the corners of their mouths.

Xiaobao: "Mother, why is my uncle acting like a child? How can we not like him?"

"Yes, but he doesn't know. Wait until later when there's no one around and then you can quietly tell him that you like him the most, okay?"

Originally Su Man thought the two children would say yes, but in the end, they both shook their heads and said no in unison.

"Why not? Don't you like your uncle anymore?" Su Man asked.

"Of course not, of course I like grand uncle. If we don't like grand uncle the most, we like you and dad the most, and then grand uncle!" Xiaobao said with the tone of an elder.

Su Man was stunned at first, and then she couldn't help laughing. She was very happy about Xiao Bao's words.

Lin Yue Niang, who had been listening nearby, was also very envious.

"Sister Su, your two children are so nice."

Su Man nodded proudly, "Of course, my two children are very sensible."

Xiaobao chuckled, he liked his mother praising them.

Su Man saw the envy in Lin Yue Niang's eyes and understood Lin Yue Niang's current mood. In fact, she really wanted to tell Lin Yue Niang something, but she had never found a chance to say it before. Now there was no one around, only two children, so it was a very suitable opportunity.

"Yueniang, actually, if you like children, you can find someone you like, marry him/her, and then have two children." She said in a voice that only the two of them could hear.

But just these few words made Lin Yue Niang's face change drastically.

"Sister Su! You must not say such nonsense! If others hear this, my reputation will be ruined! I will not be able to live like this anymore."

As she spoke, she couldn't help but look around, afraid that someone would hear her.

Su Man was somewhat helpless, "Yue Niang, it's okay, it's not like there are people who remarry after their husband dies, what are you afraid of?

Besides, as long as Aunt Mei agrees, isn't it all right? And Aunt Mei is so kind to you, she will definitely agree."

"No, Sister Su, please stop talking. I don't have that thought right now. I just want to live a good life with my mother and take care of her until the end of her life. I don't want anyone else to hear these words, otherwise I will be too ashamed to live in this world anymore."

Lin Yueniang's reaction was huge and very sad, a sadness typical of women of that era.

Su Man sighed, and finally did not continue talking, otherwise she was really afraid that Lin Yue Niang would get angry and do something wrong.

"Okay, okay, I won't say any more. I'll find you something to do in a couple of days, and then you won't have any more random thoughts."

Lin Yue Niang nodded indifferently, thinking that Su Man was just comforting her.

Thinking of her own life experience, she still felt a little sad.

Her mother-in-law is so nice, how could she be so ungrateful as to marry someone else?

What's more, remarrying would definitely cause gossip among others, and she couldn't let her family be disgraced because of her.

Soon someone came over, they were the brother and sister Wang Nier and Gousheng.

Now that Gousheng has the new clothes and shoes given by Su Man, he can go out and play anytime.

Wang Nier was also very excited when she came over.

"Sister Su." Wang Nier called out sweetly. It must be said that Wang Nier's voice is still very nice, it is what modern people call a sweet girl's voice.

"Hello, Auntie!" Gousheng also called out obediently.

Now the brother and sister like and respect Su Man very much.

"Nier, Gousheng, come here and see if this cloth is nice-looking." Su Man showed Wang Nier the light green cloth and explained that the cloth was very cheap because it was dyed the wrong color. This batch of cloth could make several sets of clothes for the siblings.

Wang Nier certainly didn't dislike it, and was very excited. For her now, it doesn't matter whether it looks good or not, what matters is that it is practical and there are enough of them.

It looks like she will have decent clothes for summer.

"Thank you, Sister Su. Thank you, Sister Su. I like it very much!"

Su Man smiled faintly, then showed Wang Nier the salt, pork, and broken rice.

She specifically picked out the best pork belly so that she could extract some oil from it, weighing a full three pounds.

I also bought a lot of salt and five pounds of broken rice.

Although five kilograms of broken rice may not seem like a lot to Su Man, it is a lot in the eyes of Wang Nier and Gou Sheng.

Wang Nier looked at the backpack full of things and tears started to fall again.

"Sister Su, I can't have so many things. I really can't have them."

"How can you say you want it? You bought all this with your own money. Have you forgotten that you gave me money to buy it? Take it home quickly. Use the fat pork to make some meat, and use the broken rice to cook some porridge every day. Eating potatoes all the time is not nutritious.

Girls should not shed tears casually, it will make them look ugly. Girls' tears are precious, they should shed tears for happiness and joy. Take them home quickly, or other people in the village will come to buy cloth and see these things of yours, which will be embarrassing."

Wang Nier didn't know what to say.

Lin Yue Niang also comforted her.

"It's okay, take it back. Sister Su feels sorry for you. Just remember Sister Su's call in the future."

Wang Nier nodded repeatedly, "I know, I will remember it, I will definitely remember it."

"Why don't you take it back quickly? If the villagers see it, who knows if other troubles will arise." Lin Yue Niang said again.

Wang Nier bowed to Su Man.

"Thank you, Sister Su. I will always remember all your kindness to me."

Su Man smiled lightly, "Then take this back, this is cotton and a quilt. You are already a grown-up girl, you should cover yourself with a quilt, Gousheng can cover yourself with one."

Wang Nier was stunned again, and the tears that had finally stopped fell again.

Su Man got a headache seeing her like this.

"Stop crying. I hate to see others cry. I can't help but get a headache when you cry. You don't have to be embarrassed. Take it and use the cotton to make a thick cotton coat and trousers to wear. You can return it to me when you make money in the future."

Wang Nier nodded desperately again, but soon couldn't help shaking her head.

"Sister Su, no, I have no way to make money now, and I don't know when I can return these things to you."

"Who said there's no way to make money? You guys gather at my house tomorrow morning. I'll have something for you to do."

Su Man’s words made Wang Nier cry with joy.

"Sister Su, are you telling the truth?"

"Of course it's true. I definitely won't lie to you, so take the things back quickly."

Wang Nier had no worries this time, she gritted her teeth and agreed.

If she could really make money tomorrow, she would accept it. Many things at home were gone, and she had to earn money on her own to buy more things for the house.

Gousheng, who was standing by, also understood what he heard.

"Aunt, thank you. I will remember your kindness in the future, woooo..."

After all, he was younger, so he couldn't help crying as he spoke.

"Okay, Auntie will remember what you said, but now shouldn't you take all the things back with your sister? Otherwise, your sister won't be able to handle it all by herself."

Gousheng nodded heavily.

Wang Nier was about to go back with her things.

Su Man was afraid that the child would come over to thank her or ask for help, so she gave him a reminder before the two of them went back.

"It's dark and windy tonight, so you don't need to come over later. Marinate the meat and refine the oil at home, and come back to my place tomorrow morning."

As soon as the brother and sister left the house, Lin Yue Niang sighed.

"Sister Su, you are such a kind person."

"It's not easy for a brother and sister, so any help is appreciated. Moreover, they took good care of Dabao and Xiaobao when I was careless and didn't care about my two children. They even shared some with Dabao and Xiaobao even though they didn't have much food themselves. I remember all these things."

Lin Yue Niang also sighed when she heard this.

"Sister Su, you are so good now."

Su Man didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "It's not much better, but can you please stop calling me Sister Su? It sounds weird. Just call me Ah Man or Xiao Man. I already call you Yue Niang."

"Okay, okay, then I'll call you Xiao Man."

"It's okay, as long as you like it."

Su Man had never had any friends before, but now she thinks Lin Yue Niang is a very nice person. She is gentle but tough, and she likes her very much.

As soon as the two finished talking, there was a noisy sound at the door.

Su Man and Lin Yue Niang looked at each other, then sat down on the chairs next to the cloth.

There were six people in total who came, including Aunt Mei and Aunt Cui, making a total of eight people.

As soon as Aunt Mei came in, she gave Su Man a look and then started shouting.

"Look, look, I didn't lie to you. Xiao Su went to the cloth shop to buy these cloths for us. She knows the shop owner, so the owner was willing to give them to her at such a low price.

But Xiao Su is a good person. She originally planned to buy it for us, thinking that the New Year is coming soon and everyone should have new clothes to wear. Twelve cents a piece of cloth is unimaginable. Now that it is so cheap, you should buy it quickly. If you can't buy a whole piece, you can buy one piece together, and you can always make new clothes for the children at home."

Su Man didn't know whether to laugh or cry when she saw Aunt Mei like this, but she was also relieved that she didn't have to speak a word.

"There are only about ten pieces of cloth left. If you like what you buy, buy it. The uniform price is twelve cents per piece. Pay the money and take the cloth." Su Man said slowly.

When these people saw the cloth, they knew that some of it was dyed the wrong color, and they would definitely not be able to notice it if they didn't pay close attention, so they all wanted to buy it.

But most people buy one, and there are also two who buy one together.

After these six people left, a few more people came to buy, and finally only the last three were left, all of which were rose purple. The navy blue ones for men were all sold out.

Su Man also felt a little helpless. These women only thought about the men at home, but never thought about themselves or the girls at home.

Just when Su Man thought that these three horses would not be sold, Lian Di and Hua Niang also came in a hurry.

"It's okay, it's okay. There's still some cloth left." Lian Di said, panting.

The same is true for Hua Niang next to her.

The two of them came running directly over.

"You want to buy cloth too?" Su Man asked.

"Yes, I talked to my mother-in-law at home for a long time, and finally she agreed to let me buy the cloth after my lips were worn out. But I can only make one suit for each of my two daughters, and the rest of the cloth must be given to my mother-in-law." Hua Niang said helplessly.

Lian Di also nodded repeatedly. "Originally, I wanted to come over when Aunt Mei came to my house and told me about it, but my mother-in-law wouldn't let me. My husband happened to be out for a while, so I told him to say that my family gave me twelve cents and then let me buy it."

Su Man listened to the two people talking without saying much, just let them choose the cloth.

In fact, it is very good that the two of them have such a change. If it were in the past, they would never dare to lie to their mother-in-law.

They each picked up a piece of cloth and held it in their arms lovingly.

At this time, Aunt Cui asked Hua Niang curiously.

"Hua Niang, is your mother-in-law willing to give you money?"

After all, Lian Di just said that she cheated her mother-in-law and her parents into giving her money, but Hua Niang didn't say that, so she asked out of curiosity.
