The beautiful stepmother from the 80s is loved by the whole family!

Chapter 7 Take it one step at a time!
Su Mian rummaged through boxes and drawers and found the cash. It was hidden very tightly and if she hadn't remembered it, she wouldn't have been able to find it.

"Oh sister, why didn't you come earlier? Look, these are all that's left."

The people at the village supply and marketing cooperative looked helplessly at the remaining tendons and internal organs.

"The village is not like the city, so there is only this much meat every day. If you want to buy meat, you have to come early, or order it a day in advance."

"Just come and pick it up the next day after you order, but you have to pay in advance." He then looked at her again. Don't the villagers know her?
Even if you only buy your own portion of whatever you buy, it will be really unlucky for these two children to follow you.

But I heard that these two kids had lived like this before, wow.

Su Mian looked at what was on the chopping board. She really hadn't thought of this, but she was still very interested in the internal organs.

"How much is this offal?"

People were watching the fun and laughing on the side, including a salesperson from the supply and marketing cooperative, who glanced at it calmly.

"Here, you can take it for fifty cents. Are you sure you want it?"

"This is not easy to handle, and it doesn't taste very good. Why don't you come early tomorrow morning to buy meat?"

"This is not delicious." He explained a few times enthusiastically, fearing that she would cause trouble for him.

Although this person is from the city, his temper is no worse than theirs.

They were eating melon seeds and chatting about gossip, so of course they had heard about what happened last night. They really didn't expect that this person would have a change of heart.

But they don't care about that, they just want to watch the fun. Their own family can't even get enough to eat, so why should they meddle in other people's affairs.

Su Mian took a few glances and saw that most of the internal organs were large intestines, a small part were small intestines, and the rest were medium-sized pig livers, pig lungs and a pig heart.

It looks like a whole set of unpopular pig's internal organs. It should be a fixed combination given by each supply and marketing cooperative. It's just given away as a gift and few people buy it.

"Please install it for me." He took out money from his pocket. I have to say that the prices are really cheap.

These fifty cents bought a lot of offal, and even the meat was only one dollar per pound, which was really cheap.

It seems that it is very likely that I can make a fortune here. After all, I am reborn and a modern person.

I more or less know the trends in the 1980s, so, even if I don't become the richest man, I have to be a wealthy man.

"Please order me three ribs for tomorrow. How much?"

The salesperson was a little surprised. "Pork ribs? If you want three, you can give me two dollars first. I'll refund you the extra money when you get the ribs tomorrow. Is that okay?"

"Why don't you buy pork belly or fatty meat? There is not much meat on these ribs." He said with a bit of disgust.

Su Mian didn't mind. Fatty meat was people's favorite nowadays, but it was not her favorite.

"Okay, then order three for me. I'll come to pick them up around this time tomorrow. Just put them away for me when they arrive."

"Or I can ask those two brats in my house to come get it. I'll ask them to bring the money."

As he said that, he handed over the two dollars and fifty cents. The folded bill looked so new and neat that one couldn't help but take a second look.

Ximei, a salesperson at the supply and marketing cooperative, put down the melon seeds in her hand, walked over to take the money, and then put the offal in her basket with a little disgust.

"Okay, just have someone pick it up tomorrow."

Su Mian nodded in agreement and went home with satisfaction carrying two heavy baskets. Although the offal in the baskets was not very good, she could cook it very deliciously.

There is also a basket of vegetables, seasonings, rice, noodles, etc., which makes me feel particularly comfortable.

Her good days are coming, and she feels elated even walking on the path.

Jiang Qing, who was washing clothes at home, looked at the door eagerly. "Brother."

Looking around to make sure no one was talking quietly, "Did you dream about Grandpa last night?"

He was still afraid, afraid that all this would only take a moment like what happened to his grandfather.

Jiang Ye was tidying up the yard and throwing away the mess. When he heard what he said, he confirmed that his brother also knew it.

"Well, so we have to treat mom well. We are all she has."

"We don't want her to leave either."

He was so happy when he said this. He dreamed of his grandpa last night after he fell asleep. He asked, "Do you like your new mother?"

[She will always be Su Mian in the future, but whether she wants to leave here depends on your performance.] After saying that, she left directly, and they fell asleep normally again.

When I woke up in the morning and saw how heartless my brother was, I didn't mention this matter to him and thought he didn't have the dream.

It seems that he has forgotten it now, and he probably knows what this means.

If nothing unexpected happens, Mom will always be a good Mom and won't become a bad one, but whether she will leave depends on whether their performance can keep her.

"Stop looking and work, or you'll have to work here again when mom comes back."

"I can go and accompany my mother now." As he spoke, his hands moved faster.

In fact, he wanted to go with his mother, but was rejected and was told to finish their own things at home first, and he also said he would surprise them when he came back.

"Hurry up and wash. Tomorrow I'll wash and you'll do the cleaning. We'll take turns."

"Let's do more work so as not to tire our mother out."

Jiang Qing nodded frantically. He knew this. He had to take good care of his mother, whom he had waited so long for.

Just as he was thinking about it, the figure he had been thinking about appeared at the door, and he immediately shouted happily.

"Mom, you're back."

He shook the water off his hands and ran over to help carry things. Su Mian was also very tired.

The Jiang family's house is located at the entrance of the village, close to the highway, but very far from the village supply and marketing cooperative. It is still very difficult to walk back, especially carrying so many things.

He exhaled several times. "Oh, you are really tired. I will ask you to go with me next time."

"We went out late today so there's no meat. I bought some offal and mom will cook it for you later."

"Don't move now. It stinks. Don't get it on you." She said while still holding the basket of offal in her hand and not letting him take over.

That's what I'm afraid of. "But mom has ordered ribs for tomorrow, so we don't have to worry about not being able to buy meat."

"I'll give you some good make-up then."

It's pitiful to see them both, malnourished, skinny, and with arms that look like they could break if bent.

How much injustice and hardship must he have endured to become the well-behaved and obedient person he is today.

I couldn't help but touch Jiang Qing's head. His hair was dry and yellow without any nutrition.

Jiang Qing felt embarrassed, patting her chest and abdomen with a serious look on her face. "It's okay, Mom. We can all eat what you made."

"We are not picky eaters. We just give them what they want. We eat less and do more, so we are in good health."

"When I grow up, I will definitely give you a good life, mom. Just wait for me."

He said this with a mixture of embarrassment and anticipation. It was the first time he had said such words, but he was willing to do so.

These words made Su Mian shudder, and she couldn't believe that these words came from the mouth of a seven-year-old child.

She put her hand on his head but didn't dare to respond, after all, she was planning to leave.

"Be good and grow up healthy." We'll talk about the rest when the time comes, the situation is still uncertain now.

It’s too early to tell.

Jiang Ye seemed to hear something and followed her and took her hand.

"Me too, mom. When I grow up, I will definitely be filial to you and let you live a good life."

Su Mian felt warm at heart when she listened. She touched the two children's heads and smiled, but she never said a word.

Because she really didn't want to waste the rest of her life on these two children, children who had nothing to do with her.

All she can do now is to take good care of them, raise them up until they can be self-reliant, or grow up enough to survive on their own.

Or maybe they left after Jiang Zhe came back and had someone to rely on.

Take one step at a time!
