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

He was even so shocked that he stuttered when speaking.

Lin Yue Niang and Ni'er were also very shocked, and they also admired Su Man very much. There were stars and admiration in their eyes when they looked at Su Man.

"Yes, but for now I am planning to ask you, Aunt Mei, Aunt Cui, Hua Niang, and Lian Di to be my chefs."

Lin Yue Niang and Ni'er beside her felt a little disappointed when they heard this. Aunt Mei also looked at her daughter-in-law and Ni'er. In the past two days, the two of them had been telling her that they admired Su Man very much and wished they could work with Su Man.

but now……

"Xiao Su, how about this? I'm old now, and I'm definitely not that efficient at work. Why don't you let Ni'er go? Ni'er is lively and agile, and she learns quickly."

Su Man was stunned when she heard Aunt Mei's words, then she couldn't help but chuckle and said,

"Aunt Mei, you don't have to worry so much. I have other plans for Yue Niang and Ni'er. After the Chinese New Year, I plan to open a clothing store. Then I will let Yue Niang be the boss. And now I want Yue Niang to take Ni'er with her and let Ni'er learn to make clothes and embroider from Yue Niang. Do you think it's okay?"

When they heard this, they immediately agreed.

"Sure, sure, of course. Why not?" Aunt Mei agreed quickly. "As long as you can make more money, we can do anything! You are really amazing!"

Lin Yue Niang: "But...but can I do it well with my craftsmanship? I usually just make clothes for my family. If I were asked to sell them, I...I'm a little scared."

Although she was excited and happy, she was also more worried and hesitant.

Su Man looked at her with a smile.

"Yue Niang, you really underestimate your own skills. Your embroidery skills are still very good. And I have an embroidery method here. I will teach you when the time comes. Don't underestimate yourself. Believe that you can do it!"

Aunt Mei also nodded in agreement.

"Yes, Yue Niang, I agree with what Xiao Su said. I also know that you have a lot of thoughts recently, but you just don't dare to tell me. I know that you also hope that you can live for yourself like Xiao Su and make money by yourself.

I fully support your idea. I have felt sorry for you over the years and made you a widow at such a young age.

Now I am still here and can protect you for a while, but in the future I will grow old and die. If you don’t cheer up and become strong, I will never be at ease even if I die.”

Speaking of this, she couldn't help but shed tears. It was their family that harmed Yue Niang, making her a widow at such a young age.

Lin Yueniang was shocked with red eyes.

"Mom, are you willing to let me work with Xiao Su? Are you not blaming me for going out and showing my face?"

Part of the reason she hesitated and was afraid just now was because she was worried about this.

Aunt Mei looked at Lin Yueniang lovingly and said,

"I used to think so, but now seeing Xiao Su getting better step by step, I realize that women still have to be self-reliant, otherwise they will end up like Fatty, who was arrested and her husband was not sad at all.

What's more, with Xiao Su leading you, your mother knows that you won't suffer any loss. I also know that you want to learn skills from Xiao Su, so how can I not support you? I also hope that you will be well."

Lin Yue Niang couldn't help but burst into tears.

"Mother! Thank you. It is my blessing to have such a good mother-in-law like you. I will definitely treat you well in the future."

"Aren't you being nice to me now?" Aunt Mei wiped away her tears and smiled.

"You've been very kind and filial to me since the moment you married into our family. I've taken that to heart."

Looking at the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law crying and laughing, Su Man also smiled slightly.

It seems that the teachings we have been giving them during this period that women can be self-reliant have worked.

She looked at Nier who was keeping her head down and asked,

"Nell, what about you? Are you willing?"

Aunt Mei and Lin Yue Niang both looked at Ni'er.

Nier raised her head, her eyes were also red.

"Of course I am willing, but I don't know how to do anything and it will cause trouble for you."

"How can it be a trouble? Look, you have been helping me these two days. I will teach you slowly, and you will learn slowly." Lin Yue Niang said.

"That's right, girl, now that your sister Su and Sister Yueyue are willing to teach you, you should learn quickly. This way, you can have a skill to survive in the future." Aunt Mei also chimed in.

The main reason is that they all feel sorry for the two siblings, Ni and Gousheng.

When Ni'er heard this, she immediately knelt down and kowtowed to the three people.

"Thank you, Sister Su, thank you, sister-in-law, thank you, aunt! I will definitely study hard, I will definitely study hard, and I will definitely not let you down!"

She shed tears of excitement, as she knew very well what it meant to have Sister Yue Niang teach her embroidery.

It means that she can survive and raise the dog well.

"As long as you work hard, you will live up to our expectations. But you still have to kowtow to Yue Niang separately, because you want to take her as your master." Su Man looked at Ni'er with a smile.

Ni'er was stunned, then looked at Lin Yue Niang.

Lin Yue Niang was also a little embarrassed. "This... this is not good, right? I'll teach you. Wouldn't it be too formal to call you master?"

"No, it would be against the rules if we don't shout. Other things can be tolerated but not this." Su Man said.

Ni'er nodded repeatedly, and then kowtowed to Lin Yue Niang.

"master!"

Lin Yue Niang was stunned for a moment and finally couldn't help but smiled embarrassedly.

"Okay, okay, get up. Don't worry, I will teach you everything I know. It's not easy to learn, so don't be afraid of hard work."

"I'm not afraid of hard work!" Ni'er said eagerly, "Master, I'm really not afraid of hard work. I can do it. I can definitely do it. Please don't give up on me."

Her tears kept falling, and there was fear in her eyes.

Lin Yue Niang and the others were at a loss whether to laugh or cry.

"Get up, I didn't say I wouldn't teach you, I just wanted you to be mentally prepared."

Lin Yueniang helped Ni'er up.

Aunt Mei: "Yes, how could your sister-in-law not teach you."

Nier burst into laughter and said, "Thank you, Master, thank you, Auntie. I will definitely treat you well in the future and provide for you in your old age."

"And me, and me!" Gou Sheng, with red eyes, also spoke up quickly, "You treat me well, and I will treat you well in the future."

Aunt Mei and Yue Niang looked at each other, and the smiles in their eyes deepened.

Su Man also curled her lips slightly, and was in a pretty good mood.

"I would also like to hire a shopkeeper to help with the accounting when the time comes. I just don't know if there is anyone in the village who knows these things. It would be easier for me to teach him."

"There really is one." Lin Yue Niang said.

"Oh? Who is it? Is it a man or a woman?" Su Man asked.

"It's Dagui. He used to be an apprentice to a bookkeeper in the next town. It seems he lost his job because he helped a customer."

"How do you know?" Su Man suddenly remembered a time when she accidentally saw the look in Dagui's eyes when he looked at Lin Yueniang.

"My eldest brother knew him before. He told me that he was a good apprentice."

Su Man was thoughtful. "Okay, then I'll look for the two brothers later to see if they are willing to help me in the store. It just so happens that they are strong and have martial arts skills."

Finally, Su Man told Lin Yue Niang to leave the cloth here first, and she went to the village chief's house with Aunt Mei, and also went to find Hua Niang and Lian Di.

When Hua Niang and Lian Di found out that it was Su Man looking for them, they followed her out without any delay.

Now in their eyes, following Su Man means having a good life, and Su Man is their mentor for the rest of their lives. They now understand that they must follow Su Man.

When they arrived at the village chief's house, Su Man once again told them her plan. The village chief and the others were all shocked but also very impressed.

I admire Su Man for being able to accomplish this business so quickly, and for hiring so many people.

Finally, Aunt Cui suddenly remembered something.

"Xiao Su, you...if you let us women do all the business, will it be bad in the end? Will we be bullied?"

"No, they won't as long as I'm here. What I want is for all women to be able to go out to work, to be self-reliant and not be bullied. Although it will be difficult in the early stages, we can work hard. Otherwise, some shameless hooligans will come and cause trouble."

After hearing Su Man's words, the others who were still worried also felt relieved.

"So are you willing to agree to me now? But if you agree to me, you have to sign a contract and you can't leak the stuff in the store, otherwise you will be responsible. I have to make this clear."

Su Man sincerely wanted to take them with her, but she had to make her requirements clear.

Of course, they had no objection, and now they trusted Su Man very much.

Aunt Cui: "So which two men in the village are you going to ask for help?"

The brothers Wang Pingkang and Wang Pingan, who were silent nearby, couldn't help but feel a little bit of anticipation, but they still said nothing.

"In the early days, everyone was paid 600 wen a month, with three days of vacation a month, and food and lodging provided. If the turnover at the end of the month was high enough, I would give you a bonus.

As for the other two men, I plan to ask Brother Ping An and Brother Da Gui. Brother Ping An will also pay 600 yuan. But I heard that Brother Da Gui seems to be good at accounting, so I plan to ask him to be the shopkeeper. Of course, since Brother Da Gui is the shopkeeper, the monthly salary will be different. I just don’t know if he agrees. I don’t know if Brother Ping Kang agrees either.”

"Agree! I agree!" Ping Kang raised his hand excitedly, "Of course I agree, but I don't know what I can do. I... I may not be able to do some things. To be honest, I am not only being bullied at the kiln factory, but I also don't have much monthly salary. I am willing to do 600 Wen."

Aunt Cui also nodded with red eyes, "Yes, this 600 wen includes food and accommodation for a month and three days of rest, which is more than I could ask for."

"Yes, yes, us too. We couldn't even dream of earning 600 wen a month. How could we not agree?" Liandi and the others also had red eyes. If they could earn so much money, they would be so happy that they couldn't even think about it.

"But Brother Dagui is a bit troublesome. I don't know if he is willing, because he and I are not very familiar with each other." Su Man was a little worried.

"Leave this matter to me. I'm familiar with him and I'll go talk to him." Aunt Mei volunteered.

"Well, you can also ask him how much his monthly salary is. If he is willing to come, then he can come. If he is not willing, then there is no need to force him."

"Okay, leave it to me." Aunt Mei nodded.

"I also want to find two girls or sisters-in-law to serve as waiters, but I don't know who to find, because as you know, I am not very familiar with the villagers."

"I have a candidate here." Aunt Cui said. "It's Mei Zi."

"Mei Zi?" Su Man asked in confusion.

"Yes, it's the one from Daliang's family. Daliang is the sickly one. They usually stay at home and don't go out.

Just now when I brought them pork, I found that Daliang was in much better health and could take care of himself. If Meizi were to do it, it should be OK. She has an honest and steady personality, so she should be able to do it."

After listening to this, Su Man also remembered this person. There was indeed such a couple. I heard that they were quite young. Wang Daliang was a sickly man and had only an old mother at home. Mei Zi was an orphan who was taken in by the old lady and raised. Later, she naturally married Wang Daliang. I heard that they had a very good relationship.

"Okay, so for now, I'll have to ask Aunt Cui to ask Mei Zi for me. If you all think there's no problem, come to my house tomorrow to sign the contract. I'll teach you well then. Your wages will also be calculated tomorrow and will be paid once a month."

Several people were excited, but more of them were embarrassed. After all, it didn't seem right to collect money before doing any work.

"You don't have to be embarrassed. Starting from tomorrow after you sign the contract, I will have a lot of things to tell you. It will be very hard, so you have to be mentally prepared."

For them, these things are no big deal. After all, no matter how hard it is, it can't be harder than farming.

So what if it's hard work? As long as I can make money, that's fine.

As for Aunt Mei and the others, Su Man didn't say that she felt they were too old. People in ancient times generally got married and had children early. The two of them are only in their forties now and can still work, as long as they are willing.

When Hua Niang was about to go back, she suddenly remembered something.

"Everyone, I...I want to trouble you with a favor. Can you please not tell anyone that I'm going to work for Xiao Su? I...I want to tell you slowly when the time comes."

No one else had any objections. After all, every family has its own problems, and they certainly knew how to help.

What's more, they are not the kind of people who like to show off, so they would rather not say anything if possible.

Su Man glanced at Hua Niang, and suddenly there was some relief in her eyes. She felt that she seemed to have changed a person's life. This feeling made her very happy and gave her a sense of accomplishment!

Su Man was in a good mood after returning from the village chief's house. She finally solved a problem.

So after returning home, her face was filled with joy.

Sure enough, only career can make her happy!
