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

Chapter 121 Su Man cheers up and concentrates on making money

"It's nothing. You go out first. I want to be alone for a while. No matter who comes, tell them that I feel a little uncomfortable and want to rest." Su Man said in a hoarse voice.

"Then you..." Old Man Fan was still a little worried.

"I'm fine. I won't go looking for them, but I need to rest and calm down now."

Old Man Fan heaved a sigh of relief, because his disappointing apprentice had told him in a letter that if Su Man rashly went to look for the two children, she would easily be in danger of death.

So secretly, he didn't want Su Man to go find her.

"Oh, there's one more thing. Fu Si and Fu Qi have been kneeling in the yard. I asked them to get up but they refused. They said they were apologizing on behalf of Fu Xiu and asked you not to be angry."

"Go out and tell them that if they don't get up, get out of here and stay away from my house."

She is very tired now, both physically and mentally, so she doesn't want to deal with these things.

Looking at Su Man who was already lying down, Old Man Fan nodded slightly.

"Okay, okay, I know what to do. Now I'll go get them up."

Su Man didn't say anything, but just covered her head with the quilt.

Old Man Fan sighed, then left the room, closing the door quietly.

In the yard, Fu Si and Fu Qi, who were kneeling, immediately looked at him.

"Master, how is your wife?" Fu Si asked hurriedly.

"Hmph, you still have the nerve to ask?" Old man Fan snorted coldly, pretending to be angry, and walked up to them.

"Do you want to make her sad to death? You actually secretly took the two children away without her knowledge. Do you still regard her as your wife?"

The two of them felt a little guilty.

Fu Si gritted his teeth and said,

"No, old man, it's not what you think. The master didn't want the lady to be in danger, so he kept it a secret from her. He was just worried about her."

Listening to him defending Fu Xiu, Old Man Fan was still a little angry, but he had to admit that what he said was right, because his apprentice said the same thing.

Although his apprentice deceived him this time, he was still very reliable.

"Okay, she's awake now, nothing's wrong, and she told you to get up, and if you don't get up, get out of her house."

Fu Si and Fu Qi originally wanted to kneel down until Su Man came out, but after hearing what Old Man Fan said, they had no choice but to stand up.

After kneeling for so long, even they couldn't help but stagger when they stood up.

Old Man Fan just snorted coldly and didn't care. After all, it was all their own fault!

At this time, Su Man had already arrived at the space and took out some wine to get drunk.

She was indeed feeling very uncomfortable now, but she was of no use at all except feeling uncomfortable. She was not even qualified to look for her two children.

Yes, what qualifications does she have? She is just a person bought back by Fu Xiu.

Now that Fu Xiu has left, isn't that just what she wants? Anyway, the indenture and the property deed are in her hands, and now she is truly free.

In fact, she should be happy, but why is she so sad? She had already thought about the day when she would be separated from her two children, and she had already prepared herself mentally.

She couldn't deceive herself. The home she had worked so hard to build was gone.

Old Man Fan and the others didn't know what Su Man did in the room. They just waited until the evening when Fu Si made food and asked Su Man to come out to eat, and then all he said was "Don't bother me".

Even trying to talk to Old Man Fan was of no use. Su Man just locked herself in the room and locked it, so Old Man Fan and the others couldn't get in.

Originally, Old Man Fan was worried that Su Man would never recover, so he planned to have a good talk with Su Man the next morning. However, when he got up, before he had the chance to look for Su Man, he saw Su Man taking the two children's clothes to the clothesline in the yard to dry.

Old Man Fan was startled and walked over quickly.

"Didn't you say you wanted to be alone for a while? Why are you busying yourself so early in the morning?"

In the yard, Fu Si and Fu Qi stood in the corner and looked at Su Man.

They didn't have a room to sleep in last night. Actually, Old Man Fan asked them to sleep in the room, but he was afraid that he would not be able to find out in time if something happened to Su Man, so he spent the night in a corner of the yard.

When they saw Su Man coming out in the morning, they wanted to talk to her, but before they could say anything, Su Man walked straight past them, looking like she didn't want to pay any attention to them at all.

As a result, they couldn't say the words that were on the tip of their tongues, and could only stand aside and look at Su Man carefully.

Su Man had just finished drying the last piece of clothing for her two children. When she heard what Old Man Fan said, she just curled her lips slightly and said,

"Since the sun is shining today, I'll take out their clothes and dry them in the sun. Then they can wear them when they come back, and they won't get moldy."

Her voice was calm and gentle, without any trace of yesterday.

Old Man Fan's eyes widened. "You...you're not angry anymore?"

"There's nothing to be angry about." Su Man remained calm. "Fu Xiu is their biological father. It's only right for the two children to go back with him. This is not something I can stop. All I can do is stay here and wait for them to come back. And I believe they will definitely come back. I'll wait for them here."

Old Man Fan nodded repeatedly, "Yes, yes, you are right to think so. You should wait for them to come back. They have their own things to do, and you also have your own way to go. Don't be stubborn."

He was still quite worried that Su Man would always be immersed in the affairs of the two children in the future. If the two children did not come back by then, he was afraid that Su Man would always trap herself there.

Secretly, he didn't want Su Man to do that. He still hoped that Su Man could meet a good man in the future.

Su Man just pursed her lips and said nothing.

Fu Si and Fu Qi looked at each other, then knelt down in front of Su Man.

"Madam, don't worry, the master will definitely come back with the two little masters, you don't have to worry."

They just heard that the old man was persuading the lady to let go of the master and the two young masters.

Although their master had told them so before leaving, they only wanted to wait a year before making a decision.

What's more, they believed that the master would bring the two little masters back, so they absolutely could not be provoked by the old man now.

Old Man Fan glared at the two of them angrily. These two people were really rude. He had finally managed to persuade Su Man.

Fu Si and Fu Qi pretended not to notice Old Man Fan's glare. They just lowered their heads slightly and continued to defend their master.

Su Man ignored the undercurrents of the others and just said to Fu Si and Fu Qi calmly,

"Do you really have to stay? I have my own life and I don't need your protection. You can leave."

The two were immediately shocked when they heard it.

"No. Madam, this is the master's order to us, we must do it, we must stay by your side."

Su Man paused and realized that what she had just said was unnecessary.

"Okay, if you want to stay, then stay. But since you are here with me now, do you have to obey me in everything?"

The two nodded without hesitation.

"Yes, the master has told us to obey Madam from now on, so Madam, please feel free to tell us anything."

Su Man nodded with satisfaction.

"Okay, in that case, don't kneel down in front of me all the time. I don't like it, so get up."

Her words meant that the two men were allowed to stay with her.

The two of them were delighted and stood up immediately. Because they had been with Su Man before, they knew what kind of person she was. If she said they were not to kneel, then she would definitely not let them kneel.

Next, Su Man cleaned up the house and found that the two children had only packed some clothes for changing and the snacks she had left for them.

She knew that all of this was done by Fu Xiu, and she didn't know that the two children would leave last night.

I don’t know if the two children will be sad or cry when they find out she is not around...

Fu Xiu didn't have much stuff to begin with, so Su Man knew something was missing at a glance.

The only things missing were the two sets of clothes that Su Man had prepared for him...

Next, Su Man no longer put any extra emotion on this matter, but began to carefully prepare for the opening of Xia Qiu Lou.

There will also be Xiaqiu Pavilion and Youran Residence at that time.

Xiaqiu Pavilion was Mama Li's brothel, and she planned to change it into a clothing store. As for Youranju, since Fu Xiu had given it to her, she would not ignore it.

The news that Fu Xiu had taken the two children away spread throughout the village in just half a day.

The village chief and others came to ask Su Man. Su Man had already thought of an excuse. She said that the father and his two sons were taking people back to their hometown for a while and would be back after a while. As for why she didn't go, it was because old man Fan was in poor health and could not travel long distances, so she wanted to stay and take care of her uncle old man Fan.

Of course, he also used the opening of Xia Qiulou as an excuse to the village chief and others.

In fact, many people did not believe it, and some even said that Fu Xiu had abandoned Su Man with the two children.

However, Su Man directly pushed Fu Si and Fu Qi out, saying that if they really didn't want her, they wouldn't have kept these two people, so everyone gradually believed it.

After learning about this, two people in the village were particularly happy.

One is the widow Wang Hua, who had never dared to provoke Su Man because she had been warned and punished by Su Man before. Especially after she knew that Su Man helped Hua Niang to divorce and asked Lord Wei to help, she was very angry and unwilling.

What's so good about that little bitch Su Man? She can have two such good men serving her, but she can only marry Wang Dahai.

Now that she finally saw Fu Xiu leaving with his two children, she was so happy and excited. She would not believe that the man was going back to his hometown. She felt that he definitely did not want Su Man anymore. Now Su Man became an abandoned woman, which was much uglier than if she had been a widow.

The other one is naturally Dafu, who has different thoughts about Su Man. He didn't dare to have extravagant thoughts when Fu Xiu and the two children were around, but now that the father and son are gone, some of the thoughts in his heart can't help but emerge again.

He also didn't believe that Fu Xiu was just taking the child back to his hometown. He thought that he was also a man, so he understood men very well. He must not have taken Su Man back to his hometown because he didn't like her.

Su Man didn't know all of this, or even if she knew, she wouldn't care.

On the evening of the third day of the New Year, Aunt Mei and the others came back with the finished clothes.

They also knew about Fu Xiu's situation, but Su Man still fooled them and just looked at the finish of the clothes.

I have to say it’s really good, but it was rushed out so quickly, it seems like they worked day and night to produce it.

Similarly, Aunt Mei and the others did not mention Fu Xiu's matter again. They felt that no matter whether it was true or false, they would not say it out loud and make Su Man feel uncomfortable.

On the morning of the fourth day of the New Year, Su Man gathered the employees of Xia Qiu Building at the village chief's house and told them that the business would open early on the fifth day.

Su Man asked them to go to the town with her to prepare and practice in advance.

Of course, everyone has no objection.

It was Lian Di who came late. As soon as she arrived, she said sorry for being late, but her eyes were smiling and she looked relaxed and happy.

Su Man looked at her, tilted her head, and asked with a smile,

"What are you so happy about?"

Lian Di did not hide it from Su Man and told Su Man the whole thing directly, because without Su Man, there would be no her today.

"I was the one who was clamoring for a separation last night, and even asked the village chief and the elders to be witnesses. Although the process was not smooth, and I have to pay the old lady a hundred coins a month, I am willing to do it. This will allow me to get away from that wolf's den, and I won't have to worry about my daughter being bullied."

Seeing Lian Di's excitement, Su Man was really happy for her.

"Doesn't she know that you're going to work for me in town? Otherwise, knowing how much you earn a month, how could she be willing to ask you for just a hundred coins?"

"Yes, she doesn't know, but now we have separated. Even if she knows, she can't do anything to me. We don't have a house yet, so we can only rent her house for 50 cents a month. When I save enough money, I will build a house! My own house!"

Su Man knew that Lian Di was hiding it on purpose, but she didn't think there was any problem with it. Instead, she gave Lian Di a thumbs up and encouraged her courage.

"That's right. Anyway, I will pay you wages by then, and everything will be fine. The most important thing is to get out of that family, otherwise you will be bullied every day."

Lian Di nodded. She could only be thankful that the child’s father was still on her side, otherwise she would have no choice.

"By the way, I'm also going to build a house in a while. If you have any ideas, I can help you. I'll lend you money first to build it, and you can pay me back slowly in the future."

"Really?" Lian Di was a little excited, "Are you really planning to build a house then?"

"Yes, this house is too small for our family to live in. Now is a good time to expand it while the two children and their father are back home."

Su Man told everyone about her next arrangements without hiding anything.

Anyway, these things will be laid out in the open in the future, and there is nothing that cannot be said.

"By the way, Hua Niang, you can do the same. I will lend you money when the time comes. You can quickly choose a place and build it together!" Su Man also did not forget Hua Niang.
