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

Su Man noticed his embarrassment and smiled secretly, but did not expose him.

"Are you hungry, Dabao? Can I make you something to eat?"

Dabao nodded first, then shook his head.

"Hmm? What does nodding and shaking your head mean?"

"I... I'm hungry, but... but I don't want you to do it, mother. You must have spent a long time looking for me last night. If I ask you to cook again, you will definitely be very tired."

This was the first time he called Su Man "mom" so seriously and in a stable mood.

Su Man felt sweet in her heart, but she didn't show any other emotions because she knew Dabao's tsundere personality. She just spoke in a completely normal tone.

"Then you're worrying in vain. I don't need to do anything today, because Grandpa Fu has already had people prepare delicious food. If you want to eat now, I'll go get it. If you don't want to eat for the time being, just lie down for a while before eating."

"Then I want to eat!" Dabao said immediately, "I'm hungry."

I haven't eaten anything since last night, how could I not be hungry?

Su Man gently touched his head and said softly,

"Okay, then mom will go get it. You just lie down on the bed and don't move. Got it?"

Dabao nodded obediently, and couldn't help but secretly breathe a sigh of relief as he watched Su Man walk towards the door.

Fortunately, mother didn't laugh at him for suddenly calling her mother, otherwise he would definitely be embarrassed.

It turns out... it feels so good to be able to call someone mommy.

As soon as Su Man reached the door, she saw Manager Fu and several guards sitting next to them.

Su Man paused. She knew there was someone at the door, but she didn't know that Manager Fu was also guarding the door.

When Manager Fu saw her come out, he stood up immediately.

"Xiao Su, how is it? Is the young master awake? Does he want to eat something?"

"Yes, I'm awake. I do need to eat something. Uncle Fu, please help me get some food up. And bring some hot water so that I can wash the child's face before eating."

Shopkeeper Fu nodded repeatedly, and then the others took the initiative to prepare things.

Looking at this scene, Su Man couldn't help but sigh, it really is easier to get things done when there are more people.

Moreover, these one, two, three, four, five, six, seven people are probably Fu Xiu's secret guards. After all, all generals and kings in ancient times had such secret guards.

Will you be the king?

Su Man had thought that Fu Xiu's identity was unusual, but she had never thought it was so unusual.

"Uncle Fu, why are you guarding here so early? And them too, there's no need for so many people to guard here together, they should take turns to rest."

"It's okay. I also went to rest for two hours before coming here. Even if I went to rest, I couldn't sleep. I couldn't let it go. The same goes for the others. If the young master hadn't been in trouble, they would have gone to find the master long ago."

Su Man nodded and said nothing more. It was fine as long as these people knew their limits.

"By the way, Xiao Su, when are we going back later? I plan not to open the door today and go to the village to see the master first."

"Don't open the door?" Su Man frowned, "That's not necessary."

If you don’t open the door, you will lose a lot of money!

"This..." Shopkeeper Fu sighed, "It's mainly because I'm not in the mood."

"Why should we be in a bad mood? Just open the door as usual. The accountant is in charge of the accounts anyway, so it doesn't matter if we go back to the village. Besides, if we don't open the door, it might attract the attention of some people with ulterior motives. Just do everything as usual."

When Manager Fu heard this, he seemed to think there was some truth in it.

"Okay, then I'll ask them to open the door as usual, and we'll go to the village to see the master."

Su Man hummed, "If you are going, prepare in advance. Let Dabao eat something and then rush back to the village. I am afraid that He Shu and my uncle will be worried, after all, they haven't been back for a night."

"You don't have to worry about that. After I found the young master, I sent someone back to the village to report the news, but I didn't have time to tell you. Also, on the way, I met the village chief and a few young men from the village. They were traveling in a bullock cart, and I'm afraid they were worried about you.

After they knew you were okay, they returned the same way. I didn’t expect the people in that village to be so nice, except for a few bad ones.”

The so-called individual case is the fat sister-in-law who joined forces with Manager Li and others to capture the child.

"Indeed, then no matter what, we should go back early. I'm worried about Xiaobao. By the way, since you have more people, you can drive an extra carriage and help me kill a pig. The villagers also helped when the two children were in trouble this time, so I have to thank them."

"Yes, this is as it should be. You are very thoughtful. I will ask someone to prepare it now, and then go to the government office to find Mr. Wei after breakfast, and then we will go back to the village together."

Su Man nodded and turned back to her room to accompany Dabao.

Dabao also heard the conversation between Su Man and Manager Fu just now.

"Mom, has something happened to Xiaobao and Gousheng? Are they seriously injured? I just heard you say that you are worried about Xiaobao."

Dabao's eyes turned slightly red again.

Su Man smiled at him and said soothingly,

"No, it's okay. They just suffered some minor injuries like you. Your uncle is at home with him, so don't worry. You will see them when you go back later."

Dabao had tears in his eyes, but he finally chose to believe Su Man.

"Then Dabao, can you tell me what happened now? We are going to the government office to see the people who arrested you. Only after you explain everything to me can I make them pay the price."

"It's Fatty's mother!" Dabao said gritting his teeth, with a hint of ferocity and anger in his eyes despite his young age.

Su Man just held his hand to comfort him. Since something like this had happened, she would only be worried if the child was not fierce, angry or upset.

"We were originally playing at Gousheng's house, and then Gousheng said he wanted to pick some wild vegetables in the hills behind his house, so we went with him. Then the fat guy's mother came out with two men to catch us. Gousheng had gone back to get a basket and hadn't been caught, but when he came back with the basket, he saw Xiaobao and I being caught and rushed over.

Later, they also caught Gousheng, and then they tried to take us away from the field. We kept struggling, and then Gousheng and Xiaobao bit them. The two men felt pain in their hands and dropped them. ”

Speaking of this, Dabao couldn't help but shed tears.

Su Man felt distressed and angry. How dare that fat lady and those two men do that!

She now regrets very much why she didn't stab those two men a few times last night!

"They seemed to have heard some noise behind them, so they ignored Xiaobao and Gousheng and took me away directly. Later, they covered my nose with a cloth and I didn't know anything. Mother, are Xiaobao and Gousheng really okay? There is a slope over there, with so many rocks, and it's so high..."

"It's okay, it's okay. Don't you still believe mother? If mother says they are okay, then they are okay. You will be able to see them for yourself when you get home."

After being coaxed by Su Man for a while, Dabao finally calmed down. When the hot water and porridge were brought up, Su Man washed Dabao again, and then began to feed him porridge gently.

Dabao's nose felt a little sore.

"Mom, you are so kind."

Su Man paused for a moment, then smiled and said,

"This is what mother should do. Mother wants to be good to you, and that's what she should do."

Dabao originally wanted to say that it was his fault for not calling his mother earlier, but when he saw Shopkeeper Fu next to him, he didn't dare to say it.

Mother is different now than before, and he and Xiaobao will never tell anyone about this.

Everyone at the door was looking around, and they were relieved when they saw Dabao was fine. Even when they saw Su Man carefully feeding him porridge, they felt that their master was very lucky to have met such a good woman.

They all saw it yesterday. This woman is very capable and is definitely not some whiny and lame woman.

And the most important thing is that he is so kind to the little masters who are not his own children. He must have such a kind heart.

I don’t know if this woman will become their wife, but it would be great if she could.

The gazes of those people at the door were too obvious, and it was difficult for Su Man to ignore them or pretend not to understand.

"Uncle Fu, are they going to come with us? It might be inconvenient for so many people to go in the village, right?"

Shopkeeper Fu was about to speak when six people at the door rushed in and knelt down in front of Su Man.

"Miss Su! Please let us pass!"

The six people spoke in unison, which scared Su Man.

With so many people kneeling in front of her, she would have jumped up in fright if she hadn't kept her composure.

"Just talk properly, don't kneel. I'm not used to it and I don't like it."

The six people looked at each other, then stood up together.

"Xiao Su, let them go." Shopkeeper Fu sighed and said, "Now that things are like this, I won't feel at ease if they don't go and accompany us."

"But..." Su Man frowned and was a little embarrassed. "Didn't you tell me before that your master has a special identity and it's not convenient to let others know now? Is it okay for you to have so many people here at once?"

"No, we just need to find them an identity, and... it shouldn't be hidden for long."

Su Man was silent for a while after hearing this, and finally looked at Dabao who was still a little confused.

"Do we have to go?" she asked Manager Fu again.

Shopkeeper Fu nodded, "Yes."

"Then go ahead. I hope you won't hide anything from me. You can tell me first so I can prepare."

Su Man said this while she was putting clothes on Dabao.

What is meant to come will eventually come, but there are some things she hasn't had time to do yet, so it seems she needs to speed up.

If the two children leave one day, will she have to leave with them? If so, where should she go? If she doesn't leave, it means she will have to part with the two children.

Dabao felt a little worried when he saw Su Man's sad look.

"Mother, if you don't want them to go, then don't let them go."

Hearing Dabao's words, Su Man was stunned at first, then she smiled gently.

"It's okay, if they want to go, let them go."

The second, third, fourth, fifth, sixth, seventh and other people were also a little anxious.

"Young Master, you can't stop us from going. We are going to protect you."

Dabao ignored them and looked at Su Man. He only listened to Su Man now.

Su Man sighed and slowly explained to Dabao.

"Dabao, they are all your father's brothers. Now that your father is sick, they want to go and see him. If they don't go, they will feel uneasy, just like you were worried about Xiaobao and Gousheng just now. And don't you know them? Haven't you seen them before?"

Dabao pursed his lips and shook his head, "No, I haven't seen him. I just felt like I've seen Grandpa Fu somewhere before, but no one else recognizes him."

Shopkeeper Fu: "Xiao Su, it's normal that the young master doesn't recognize us. He has never seen us before. As for me, I have seen you once or twice, so I feel a little familiar."

Su Man just said "oh" and didn't ask any more questions. There were some things she didn't want to know too much about. The more she knew, the more troubles she would have.

As for the question of whether these people should stay or go, of course they went. Su Man also understood from Shopkeeper Fu's attitude and words that these people must protect Fu Xiu.

She no longer wanted to think about the identity of the person who could afford to support secret guards. The only thing she didn't regret was that before they separated, she finally heard Dabao willingly call her mother.

Su Man and Shopkeeper Fu took Dabao and the coachman Fu Er to the county government office.

There were already yamen runners waiting for them at the door, and there were also some people gathered around to watch the fun.

The main reason is that they want to see what happens to Mother Li. They know exactly what Mother Li has done, but they can only be angry but not say anything. They would be happy if they could really make Mother Li get her retribution.

Su Man led Dabao and Manager Fu through the crowd. Of course, Fu Er, who was dressed as a servant, also followed.

Wei Yan sat in the middle of the county government office, wearing his official uniform and looking serious, and Wei Jin also stood behind him.

There was a row of county officials standing on each side of the hall, and in the middle were kneeling Mother Li and the two men. Of course, Shopkeeper Li was there too, but he was kneeling unsteadily because he had knife wounds on his body.

If Wei Yan had not asked Doctor He to simply stop the bleeding and bandage the wound yesterday because he was afraid that the person would die and could not hold the trial today, he would have surely died today.

Seeing these people, Su Man's eyes turned cold. If it wasn't because this was in public, she really wanted to let these people experience what it felt like to be cut by a knife.

Wei Yan didn't say much when he saw them and started the trial immediately.

As for the fact that Su Man and the others did not kneel down to him, he just pretended not to notice.

The trial process was very simple. First there was questioning and then the evidence was presented. With Dabao, Su Man and Manager Fu present, there was no possibility for Mother Li and the others to deny it.

Especially since they had all seen the miserable condition of Shopkeeper Li, they were already extremely frightened and dared not quibble.

In the end, Mother Li directly gave away the identity of Fat Sister-in-Law, saying that the two men were Fat Sister-in-Law's brothers.

Originally, the two did not want to confess, but the fat lady confessed immediately in order to reduce her sentence.

Finally, it was decided that Wei Yan, Wei Jin and a few other guards would take the two men and Mother Li to the village to identify Fatty's wife.

As for Manager Li, he should be thrown into jail, lest he die on the way and cause bad luck.
