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

Chapter 115: To Suffer or to Be Reborn in Flames

Mr. He's face turned pale, his mind worked rapidly, and finally a fake smile appeared on his face.

"Oh, I didn't know this was the county magistrate. If I had known earlier, I would definitely not have treated them like this. Also, I didn't know the mother of the two children didn't want to sell them. At the time, the children's grandmother said that the family was poor and she only hoped that selling the two children would allow them to have enough food, so I bought them."

Seeing that there was no other way out, Mr. He simply cleared himself of the blame and put all the pressure on the Wang family.

Su Man and the others knew that he was lying, but finding the two children was the most important thing now, so they just pretended not to hear anything.

"Why don't you bring the two children out quickly? You want us to go in and look for them ourselves. If we look for them, I can't guarantee what your house will look like." Su Man said coldly.

Fu Si and his men were also fooled, and they stepped on the thugs under their feet again, and wailing immediately rang out.

The fat on Mr. He's face trembled with fear.

"Go! Go to the woodshed and bring out those two kids!" He hurriedly shouted at the servant.

The servant gritted his teeth and got up from the ground to bring the person out.

Su Man felt relieved when she heard that the two children were locked in the woodshed.

Fortunately, fortunately the two children were in the woodshed, which meant they were not sent to that stupid young master. Otherwise, she really couldn't imagine what would have become of the two children.

As soon as Hua Niang heard someone was asked to pick up the child, she immediately looked inside.

Lian Di was by her side the whole time, comforting her, and she finally relaxed her tense heart.

They were really worried that they wouldn't be able to take the two children back safely.

When Mr. He knew that the man in front of him was the county magistrate, he couldn't help but want to curry favor with him and get closer to him, but Wei Yan remained expressionless and didn't even glance at Mr. He, which made him afraid to speak, for fear of bringing bad luck and being punished in the end.

The two children were pushed out with their hands tied. They were all dirty and limping. It was obvious that they had some injuries on their bodies.

Especially when they saw Hua Niang, the two children immediately burst into tears.

"Mother! Mother! Wuuuuuuu...save us!"

"Mom! Don't sell us! My sister and I will be obedient, we won't eat so much, and we will keep working. Please don't sell me and my sister, mom, please!"

The two children's words made Hua Niang feel heartbroken, and also made Su Man and the others feel uncomfortable and sad.

"Dahua and Xiaohua!" Hua Niang screamed heartbreakingly and rushed forward to hug the two children in her arms.

Lian Di immediately went to help untie the rope. When the two children felt their mother, they immediately burst into tears. The sound was so heartbreaking.

Su Man's face became increasingly ugly, and her whole body exuded a frightening cold aura.

When Mr. He saw this scene, he immediately started to clear himself.

"Sir, I didn't do anything to them. Look carefully, they are all fine. I told you that I was deceived. That family kept telling me that they couldn't raise two children and they just wanted me to feed the two sisters. You can't put all the blame on me!"

Su Man glanced at him and said, "Show me the indenture."

Mr. He happened to have the indenture contract on him and had not had time to put it away, so he immediately took it out from his arms.

Su Man reached out and took it and looked at it.

"Um...my money..." Mr. He said in a low voice.

Su Man didn't want his money, so she just threw the small purse over to him.

Mr. He was rich, but he was not a sucker, so he counted the items carefully and only put them away after making sure they were correct.

"Sir, why don't you go in and have a cup of hot tea? It's so cold, you must be very cold coming here, go in and have a cup of hot tea to warm yourself up."

He never misses any opportunity to curry favor.

Su Man sneered, "Let us in for tea? Are you sure? Aren't you afraid that I'll turn your house upside down after I go in? Don't try to get close to us here, we have nothing to do with you."

Mr. He choked and felt a little unhappy. How could this woman dare to talk to him like this? She really didn't know how to live or die!

"I'm not talking to you, why are you answering? I'm talking to an adult."

He felt that he was also a man and he must know that all men had the same mentality. How could he be willing to be dominated by a woman?

As a result, before Mr. He had time to show off for long, Wei Yan's words slapped him in the face.

"No need for that. She's right. I don't want to have anything to do with you. You'd better keep your tail between your legs. Otherwise, if I catch you, I will definitely let you know what it means to go in and have a cup of hot tea."

Mr. He's face turned pale, and then he murmured "yes" in a low voice, with cold sweat oozing out of his back.

He has been doing these things all the time, but he has never failed. But today he failed, which made him unhappy and a little scared.

Su Man was too lazy to look at him anymore. Looking at this scumbag any longer would dirty her eyes.

"Hua Niang, Lian Di, let's go, take the two children to the carriage and go home first." Su Man called Hua Niang.

Hua Niang and Lian Di both nodded repeatedly and got on the carriage, each holding a child.

Su Man turned around and was about to follow him up, but when she reached the carriage, she suddenly turned back and said something to Mr. He.

"Mr. He, the mother of the child didn't even know about this. They actually told you that they couldn't afford to eat. Look how anxious the mother is. Did she sell the child because she couldn't afford to eat? Sometimes, you have to be careful when looking at people. Don't let them play tricks on you."

She emphasized on the words "being made a fool of", and only got into the carriage in a good mood after seeing Mr. He's face turn gloomy.

It is obvious that Mr. He is a stingy person who is unwilling to suffer any loss. The Wang family should just endure Mr. He's anger.

Because there were two more children, Wei Yan sat in the carriage of Fu Si and his friends.

The two children's names are Dahua and Xiaohua, one is eight years old and the other is six years old.

But this eight-year-old child is almost the same size as her Dabao and Xiaobao, and the six-year-old Xiaohua looks like she is only four years old. It is conceivable how unnutritious the food these two children usually eat is.

No, in other words, the kind where even being able to eat enough becomes a problem.

The two children obviously had not yet recovered from the fact that they were sold, and they kept leaning against Hua Niang and crying silently.

Hua Niang also hugged her two children, tears kept falling down, and her body was shaking with fear.

Su Man took the kettle next to her and handed it over.

"Hua Niang, let them drink some water first, and then eat some steamed buns. The two children must be very hungry."

Hua Niang thanked him repeatedly and immediately gave water to the two children.

Just as Su Man said, the two children were indeed extremely thirsty. They drank water very eagerly and looked very miserable.

When Hua Niang saw her two daughters like this, tears welled up in her eyes again. She was so heartbroken that she was twisted into a ball.

Lian Di is also a mother, and she also has a daughter who is not liked by her in-laws. She can empathize with them and even shed tears.

What happened to Hua Niang this time also made her more vigilant and more thoughtful.

In essence, there is no difference between her and Hua Niang. The only difference is that her man has always been good to her and her daughter, and has always stood on her side.

As for Hua Niang’s man, it’s better not to mention him.

But everyone else in her husband's family is similar, so shouldn't she do something too?

"Don't be in a hurry, drink slowly. Here are two steamed buns. Each of you can eat one to fill your stomach. I brought them with me when I got on the carriage. I didn't take much." Hua Niang took out two white flour buns from the small cloth bag.

Hua Niang thanked her again and again, and without feeling embarrassed, she immediately gave the steamed buns to the two children.

The two children didn't eat much last night, and they were sent away overnight, so they didn't eat in the morning. It's already noon, it would be strange if the two children were not hungry.

It was not the first time that the two children had seen white flour buns. The first time Hua Niang helped Su Man pick peppers, she brought some back and secretly gave them to the two children to eat.

But now they couldn't take their eyes off the white flour buns. The sweet taste kept rushing into their noses. Their stomachs had been growling with hunger for a long time, and now that their mother was around, they were not afraid anymore, so they started to eat voraciously.

Hua Niang couldn't bear to see the two children like this, and her determination to divorce was stronger than ever.

She must divorce, she must divorce. Only by divorcing can her two children have enough food to eat. If she doesn't divorce, situations like today will definitely happen more often.

So for the sake of her two children and herself, she had to divorce.

After eating half of it, Dahua suddenly stopped eating and put the steamed bun directly next to Hua Niang's mouth.

"Mom, eat too. You must be hungry too."

When Xiaohua heard this, she immediately handed over the steamed bun.

"Mom, you eat too. I'll give you Xiaohua's too."

Hua Niang felt even more upset.

"Mom doesn't want to eat. Mom isn't hungry. You guys eat this. Aunt Su gave it to you. And you can be with Mom again today because of Aunt Su's help. You two must remember Aunt Su's life-saving grace in the future, okay?"

The two children looked at Su Man and nodded vigorously. They all knew Su Man and knew that Su Man was the best-looking and most beautiful woman in the village.

"Aunt Su, thank you."

"You're welcome. Eat quickly. I have something to tell you after you finish eating." Su Man smiled gently at the two children.

These two children were taught very well by Hua Niang.

With Su Man and Hua Niang's words, the two children slowly started to eat.

The two children did not eat alone, but each fed Hua Niang a mouthful.

Hua Niang was reluctant to eat more, so she just took a small bite from the two steamed buns.

The carriage wobbled toward the village.

Hua Niang also checked the bodies of the two children and found only some superficial injuries from being twisted or beaten. Although it was heartbreaking, it was better than they had imagined.

After Su Man saw that the mother and her two children had calmed down, she began to prepare for what was next.

"Before you go back now, you three, mother and daughter, must think clearly about what to do next. The Wang family will definitely not give up. This time, whether you swallow your anger or be reborn in the flames, it's up to you."

The two children didn’t quite understand what Su Man said, but Hua Niang understood and her eyes were determined.

"Divorce! We must divorce! I can't let my two daughters continue to stay in that kind of home. That man is not worthy of being my daughters' father. I want to take care of my two daughters myself. I want them to have enough food to eat and warm clothes to wear. I will never let them live that kind of life again!"

Her eyes were filled with determination and hatred. At this moment, she had no attachment to that man at all.

The two children were originally nestling in Hua Niang's arms without saying a word, until they heard Hua Niang talking about their father, then they began to cry.

"Mom! It was Dad who sold us! Wuuuuu... It was Dad who sold us! Why did Dad sell us! Wuuuuu!" Dahua burst into tears.

Xiaohua was also crying. For them, this incident was a lifelong shadow.

"What?" Hua Niang's face turned pale, and the hatred in her eyes became even stronger. "You two said that it was your father who sold you out? Not your grandmother?"

Dahua first shook her head and then nodded.

"It was sold by my father and my grandmother. My father tricked us into drinking egg soup, saying that he cooked it especially for us. After my sister and I finished eating, my grandmother and uncle took us away. Then I felt dizzy, wuwuwu..."

Xiaohua was also crying.

"What a sin! What kind of person is this! Is he qualified to be a father?" Lian Di couldn't help but curse, "He is simply a ruthless person!"

Hua Niang closed her eyes tightly, then opened them with force, and looked down at her two daughters with a determined look in her eyes.

"Dahua and Xiaohua, when we get back, mother will divorce your father, and then mother will take care of you all by herself, okay? Mother promises that you will have enough food and clothes, and will never let anyone sell you out again."

Both children nodded with tears in their eyes. They really didn't want to go back at all. They didn't want their father anymore. That father was not their father at all. He actually wanted to sell them.

If mother and Aunt Su hadn't found them in time, they wouldn't know what would happen to them now.

Hua Niang hugged the two children tightly and kept saying "okay, okay".

Su Man felt that Hua Niang's change was teachable. This woman was not too cowardly. As expected, one should never mess with a mother who loves her daughter so much.

After all, even a rabbit will bite when it is cornered.

"Then I will ask Lord Wei to divorce you after we go back. Don't be afraid even if you have to leave the house with nothing. I will lend you money and help you build a new home. Besides, Hua Niang will be working in the town soon, so your life will not be bad then."

Su Man's words deeply moved Hua Niang.

"Thank you, thank you! Sister Su, I will never be able to repay you for your kindness in this lifetime. In the future, as long as you can use me, I will definitely help you. Thank you, thank you!"

If they hadn't been in the carriage, she would definitely kneel down and kowtow to Su Man.
