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

Chapter 127 The man prepared a lot for her

There seemed to be a hint of self-mockery in the seemingly relaxed tone, and Fu Si and Fu Qi were immediately frightened.

"Madam, no, it's not what you think. The master is not worried that you will go to find him, but is worried that you will fall into danger as well." Fu Si hurriedly explained.

"Yes." Even Fu Qi, who usually doesn't like to talk, said something.

"If the master didn't care about you, Madam, he wouldn't have let us stay. He's just worried that he might bring you danger. He's worried about you."

Their master is so kind, they can’t let the lady misunderstand.

When Su Man heard this, she stopped and looked back at Fu Qi, saying with a strange look on her face,

"Why didn't I realize you were so good at talking before?"

Fu Si also looked at Fu Qi in shock.

"You are amazing. You got straight to the point."

Fu Qi looked a little uncomfortable. He just didn't want his wife to misunderstand his master, and he didn't think much about it.

Su Man curled the corners of her mouth slightly, then continued walking forward.

"In that case, tell me, besides you two and the people from Youranjuli, how many people did he leave for me?"

Fu Si and Fu Qi were silent.

"Madam, this matter cannot be discussed for the time being." Fu Si said, "But you can rest assured that the master is really only doing this for your own good. Going back this time is very dangerous, and he doesn't want you to follow them into danger. He said that you are innocent and you should have your own life to live, so..."

Even though he didn't say the rest, Su Man already understood what was going on.

She couldn't tell what she was feeling at the moment, she just felt a little depressed, very, very depressed.

I have been helping her make decisions under the banner of doing it for her own good. If it was really for her own good, then why did I take the two children back with me?

Is this really for her good? Didn't the man ever think that maybe after explaining things to her clearly, she would go back with him?

A breeze blew by, and Su Man just thought of this.

Go back together? She was slightly stunned, and then the answer in her heart was that she would definitely not go back.

Yes, if Fu Xiu had explained everything to her clearly at that time, based on her thoughts and feelings towards Fu Xiu at that time, she would definitely not go back.

But she didn't expect that there would be such an answer now, so has she begun to waver in her heart?

After that, Su Man didn't say anything else, nor did she mention Fu Xiu and the two children.

Or maybe it's not that I don't mention it, it's just that it's useless to bring it up again.

Fu Si and Fu Qi were both very nervous and a little uneasy.

Fu Qi glanced at Fu Si, asking with his eyes what was going on with the madam.

Fu Si agreed helplessly and replied with his eyes. What else could the madam be doing? She was just worried about the master and the two young masters.

It’s just that the lady has a strong personality, so she doesn’t want them to know.

The two communicated silently, but there was no mistake.

When Su Man returned to the village, Old Man Fan had been waiting for her at the door. When he saw her come back, he immediately went to the kitchen and brought her a bowl of black medicine.

"Hurry up and drink. I was worried that you would go straight back to town. Have you dealt with that bastard Mr. He?"

Su Man was a little surprised when she heard what Old Man Fan said.

"How do you know what we are going to do?"

"Do I need to think about this? I guessed it right away." Old Man Fan said proudly, "Don't change the subject. Drink it quickly. It's good for your health."

Su Man looked at the black Chinese medicine with some hesitation. She really didn't want to drink it...

"Do I have to drink it? I don't think there's anything wrong with my body, so why not just forget it?"

"Forget it? What do you mean by forget it?" Old Man Fan glared at her. "I prepared all this carefully. What's the matter if you don't drink it? Drink it now!"

Su Man sighed helplessly, and finally could only pinch her nose and swallow it. This kind of Chinese medicine is the best way to swallow it in one gulp. If you drink it mouthful by mouthful, it will be extremely bitter, and it is no different from being executed by slow slicing.

Old Man Fan looked at Su Man with satisfaction, and then looked at Fu Si and Fu Qi beside him.

"You two should go to the kitchen and drink the two bowls of wine on the table. I made it especially for you. It's good for your health. Don't think you can do whatever you want with your body just because you are young. You will regret it when you are older. Go away now."

Fu Si and Fu Qi never expected that they would have a share, and they felt warm in their hearts.

They didn't refuse, just said thank you and went to the kitchen immediately.

The medicine tastes bitter, but after drinking it, they feel sweet in their hearts.

They know clearly who is good to them.

Su Man didn't stay at home for long. She told Old Man Fan some things to pay attention to, said something to Brother Li and the others, and then went to town.

She still has a lot of things to do next and will be very busy, but she likes this kind of busyness. Only when she is busy will she not have the time to think about Fu Xiu and the two children.

Xia Qiulou has become very good at it now, so it won't be a problem even if she is not there. Just as she had expected, her daily income is indeed around eighty taels.

Youranju is just opposite, so he doesn't have to worry about anyone coming to Xiaqiulou to cause trouble. Even if someone does, Fu Fu is not a pushover.

During the past half month, she spent more time on the Xiaqiu Pavilion, which was about to open, and her house.

She also taught Lin Yue Niang how to do double-sided embroidery and drew a lot of styles and patterns. She asked Lin Yue Niang to make clothes with her two sisters-in-law, Wang Ni'er, Dahua, Xiaohua, and two people in the village who had some embroidery skills. Su Man said that speed was not important for the time being, what was important was quality.

Most of the time, it was Lin Yue Niang, her two sisters-in-law from her natal family, and Ni'er who were making the clothes. Dahua and Xiaohua were young and didn't understand much, so they just helped out. Moreover, the two of them also worshipped Lin Yue Niang as their master. Although they were young, they were diligent and willing to endure hardships, so they learned very quickly.

Because of this, Hua Niang kept thanking them and was very moved.

The two women who helped in the village were sixteen and twenty-four years old.

The sixteen-year-old was a girl and had not yet married, while the twenty-four-year-old already had a son. Their families were all pretty good and honest, so Su Man signed them as well and asked them to make clothes together.

Of course, the two of them made the most common and cheapest cotton and linen clothes, while the more expensive ones were made by Lin Yue Niang and her two sisters-in-law.

Five adults and three children are all the tailors in Xiaqiu Pavilion.

But even if they worked hard to make clothes every day, it was still not fast enough, because they had never seen the styles Su Man gave them, and many of them had to be made very carefully.

Su Man planned to find two experienced masters in the town, but she didn't know whether they were reliable. After all, the people in the town were not like those in the village. Everyone was grateful to her for helping them make money, so all she had to do was sign a contract.

But the experienced people in the town basically have no shortage of work, so it might not be that easy to control. She is mainly worried that they might steal the designs and go out to make their own.

It was noon now, and everyone in the Xia Qiu Building had gone for a nap. Only Su Man was still writing and drawing at the cash register, with Fu Qi accompanying her.

Su Man sighed, stood up, and was about to go out for a walk when she found that Fu Si, who was always by her side, was missing.

She had been thinking about the embroiderer so much that she didn't notice when Fu Si was gone.

"Fu Qi, where's Fu Si? Has he been out for a long time? I need to go out for a while now, or we can leave him a note, in case he can't find us and think we're in trouble."

"No, he will be back soon. Madam can wait for him to come back before going out. He may be able to help Madam with her urgent needs after he comes back."

"Huh? Do you know what has been bothering me recently?" Su Man asked in surprise.

Fu Qi nodded. "These past few days, Madam, you have been thinking about Xia Qiu Pavilion and asking about the embroiderer. I dare to guess that Madam is worried about the embroiderer."

Su Man's eyes lit up, "You guessed correctly, so Fu Si is helping me find the embroiderer?"

Just as Fu Qi was about to say yes, Fu Si came in from the door, followed by two women in their thirties.

When Su Man saw the two women, she knew the answer without Fu Qi's reply.

"Madam, I brought two people for you. You should be able to use them now!" Fu Si said with a smile.

They have been together every day for nearly a month, so it is much easier for them to get along with each other than before.

"If it's an embroiderer, I really need her." Su Man said.

"Madam, you are really smart! You actually guessed it was the embroiderer. Yes, it was the embroiderer. I asked someone to ask her a few days ago, but I was on the road and only got here now."

"It's not that I'm smart, it was Fu Qi who told me." Su Man smiled helplessly, "But no matter what, you really solved my urgent problem, thank you."

"Madam, you don't have to thank me. My master told me before he left that no matter what you want to do, he must do it for you. He is very worried about you." Fu Si tried to win his master's favor again.

Su Man's face froze and she felt something strange in her heart.

Fu Si actually regretted what he had just said. The Madam had not asked about the master these days, but they knew that the Madam was very worried and missed the master and the two little masters. What he had just said was undoubtedly to bring up the Madam's sad memories.

"Madam, these two are from our family. They are excellent at embroidery. You can rest assured and leave the tasks to them." Smart Fu Si immediately changed the subject and introduced the two to Su Man.

When Su Man heard that it was a relative, she felt even more helpless and sighed softly in her heart.

How much did that man do for her? He arranged so many things and didn't even mention a word to her. If Fu Si hadn't hidden anything from her, she really wouldn't have known that man had done so much for her.

The two women immediately knelt down and called her "Madam".

Su Man immediately asked them to get up.

"You two, please get up quickly. You don't have to kneel anymore. I'm not used to it. You guys are helping me a lot by coming here."

The two women didn't expect Su Man to be so easy to talk to, and they felt relieved.

Now that there were enough embroiderers, Su Man began to arrange for Lin Yue Niang and the others to move from the village to Xia Qiu Pavilion and wait for the opening in five days.

Xia Qiuge prepared a special studio for making clothes, and still had a dormitory, also with bunk beds.

Because Su Man had already said that she would move to the town, Lin Yue Niang and the others moved out without even asking any questions. They were especially surprised when they saw such a nice embroidery room and dormitory.

They never thought that one day they would live in the town and work in such a good place.

Everyone was very excited and secretly decided to work hard to repay Su Man, as well as to stand out, earn money through their own efforts and win respect!

These days, the women in the village have changed a lot. Some men no longer dare to beat or scold their wives and daughters at will, because most of the people who can make money in the village are women.

All this is thanks to Su Man.

After arranging dormitories for several people and taking them to familiarize themselves with the embroidery room and the entire Xia Qiu Pavilion, Su Man hurriedly left Xia Qiu Pavilion with Fu Si and Fu Qi.

Now the sign of Xia Qiu Pavilion has been hung up, but it is still covered with red cloth and will be unveiled on the opening day.

There was also a sign at the door stating the opening date, which made people in the town curious about Xia Qiu Pavilion. After all, it was opened by the owner of Xia Qiu Lou and Youran Ju.

Many people want to see what kind of clothes the boss, who can make such delicious food, makes.

Su Man first took Fu Si and Fu Qi to the proprietress where she used to buy cloth. She had agreed on a cooperation with the proprietress some time ago, and from now on, Xia Qiu Pavilion's cloth and thread would be purchased from here.

The boss's family is a cloth dyeing business, and she opened this small cloth shop simply because she had nothing else to do.

The boss lady only needs to have someone send some cloth to Xia Qiu Pavilion, and Lin Yue Niang and the others will naturally know where the warehouse is.

Finally, Su Man went to a carpenter's house, where she made a lot of modern human-shaped racks and clothes hangers, and today was the best delivery deadline.

Su Man made a rough check and found that there was nothing wrong with it, so she had everything sent to Xia Qiu Pavilion. After they were arranged, she began to teach Lin Yue Niang and the others how to hang the clothes.

Lin Yue Niang and the others had never seen such things before, but they understood how beautiful these things would look when put on clothes, and their admiration for Su Man increased a lot.

Early the next morning, Su Man took Fu Si, Fu Qi, and Wang Dafu back to the village.

The purpose of this trip was, on the one hand, to check on the progress of the house, and on the other hand, to bring the eight women who had been chosen long ago to the town.

These eight people will be Xia Qiu Pavilion’s next salespersons, two in each area.

The youngest is fourteen years old, two are sixteen, two are in their twenties, and the remaining three are in their thirties.

She didn't have much age restriction. As for the fourteen and sixteen years old, it was not because she hired child laborers, but because fourteen years old was old enough to get married in that era. She was now working with several girls, which was also a way of saving these three girls in disguise.
