Raising Kids with the Army in the Eighties, the Beautiful Stepmom Turns Her Life Around

A radiant, fierce second-time bride who protects the kids versus a taciturn tough guy who only knows how to gaze at her with shining eyes Su Manhua got divorced, the only woman in Wangfu Village to do so. For years, Chen Xu had relied on the Su family’s work points to get by in the countryside, and now that he’d gotten into university, he wanted to dump her? As if Su Manhua, with her explosive temper, would stand for that. She stormed into the city and made the Chen family too afraid to speak up, then left with a thousand yuan in hand. Meanwhile, she spotted a business opportunity, talked her landlord into joining her, and opened a small canteen. Business boomed, and life was wonderfully fulfilling, apart from an annoying little ingrate who was a constant eyesore. She never expected to spend her whole life alone, but she never expected to give her heart away again, either. The first time she met Tang Jing'an, someone stopped her as she was beating the little ingrate’s aunt in the street. “Just because you’re a leader, you think you’re special? Get out of my way!” Her radiant face was full of fury, and Tang Jing'an’s eyes shone as he looked at her. Su Manhua still hadn’t realized how serious things were. Later, when he showed up to propose with several bundles of hundred-yuan bills, and her parents looked completely pleased, Su Manhua finally realized she was in real trouble! The Tang family had burdens of their own: two of them. Su Manhua had no interest in becoming a stepmother! But later, when she saw the siblings, abused until they were skin and bones and huddled in a corner, unable to speak, she changed her mind. With a fierce woman running the household, the kids getting a thrashing when they misbehaved, and her wages in her own hands, everyone said Tang Jing'an spoiled his wife far too much. Only Tang Jing'an knew that Su Manhua’s arrival had washed away the years of misery surrounding the three of them... “What are you thinking about? Tang Jing'an! Stir the pot! If it burns, I’ll stuff your nose and eyes full of it!” Tang Jing'an came back to himself. Looking at her radiant profile, he lowered his head and laughed.
