My Savage Farmer Step-Dad: ShortMax's Modern Family Drama Full of Twists

We often hear stories of stepfathers or stepmothers abusing children. However, in the short drama My Savage Farmer Step-Dad, the seemingly rough stepfather turns out to be far more than just a replacement for the biological father. Before heading to war, the biological father had instructed that if he never returned, his wife should be sold to the cruel neighbor next door for money.

Later, when news of the biological father’s death on the front lines arrived, the grandmother said nothing—she forcibly drove the little girl and her mother out of the house and sold them to that same neighbor. Would they face brutal beatings from him? Quite the opposite. This father’s appearance and nature were entirely different. From then on, the little girl finally came to know the warmth of a father’s love.

Part one: My Savage Farmer Step-Dad Storyline Breakdown

My Savage Farmer Step-Dad is a modern family drama of 20 episodes. It talks about a little girl’s fortune reversal after she and her mother were sold to her stepfather who was seemingly savage but tender in heart. 

Stella’s biological father said to her grandmother that sold her mom to the old farmer next door before he left for the army. The old farmer had a bad leg but he was a savage man. People said he even killed his first wife. He was strong enough to knock out a bull with one punch. For her mom, marrying him was a death sentence. 

Three years later, the news came that her dad was dead. Right away, her grandmother sold her mom to the monster for two thousand dollars. 

The day they heard the news of dad’s death, it was December, right after a blizzard. Her mom was feeding the cattle barefoot. Grandmother never allowed her mother to wear shoes. There were lots of wounds and chilblains on her mother’s foot. Her grandmother said a bitch like her mother didn’t deserve shoes. 

The little girl often went to the woods to gather branches for warmth but her uncle would always snatch them away for his fireplace. No matter how they begged, it was useless. Grandmother would beat them and curse them for days. 

The little girl felt sorry for mom and tried to help her feed the cows. At that time, her mother said “baby, go play over there. The sun is out. It’s warmer there.” Stella’s shoes were torn and falling apart. The sun was their only source of heat. After feeding the cows, they went back to the cabin. 

Her grandmother was already waiting, fuming with rage. She asked them, “what took you so long? Were you out looking for other men again?” She rolled her eyes and crossed her arms. “The army sent word. Jason is dead. Ever since he married you, my son was cursed by your bad luck.” She didn’t look sad about her son’s death at all.  

There had to be a secret behind this. Her grandmother wanted to expel them out of the house. “Now that he’s gone, get out of this house. Don’t stay here and ruin the Hudson family name.” The grandmother looked at them with disgust and kept grumbling. “My son sold you to Rick before he left. Otherwise, we would have lost so much money feeding you two.” 

Her mother didn’t fight back. She just picked up the little girl’s coat and held her hand tight. Then, she said “at least let me take the child with me.” 

The grandmother looked her up and down. She had a wicked look in her eyes and said “That depends on if that old farmer pays more. A girl her age could fetch two thousand dollars at the town. She’s worth much more than you.” Her mom gripped Stella’s hand even harder. They both knew the truth: As soon as she marrieds Rick, the grandmother would sell her away. 

Luckily, the old farmer bought two of them. So how would their life after moving a family to another? Let’s continue to read or watch My Savage Farmer Step-Dad directly on ShortMax. 

Part two: My Savage Farmer Step-Dad Main Characters

Stella

She is a little girl who is always abused by her grandmother and biological father. Before she was raised by Rick, she led a tortuous life. Her biological father always beat her and let her sleep in the stall where there were lots of snakes and rats.  

After she was raised by Rick, Stella felt the warmth of father. Rick made a comfortable bed for her and took her to the clinic when she was ill. What’s more, she would receive new clothes and candy from Rick. 

When she grew up, she decided to study medicine to fix her stepfather’s leg. She started as an assistant in the pharmacy. She kept training the way dad taught her. She ran five km with weights every morning and night. She grew stronger and her movements became faster. 

She studied in the city for five years. Her medical knowledge and physical strength grew fast. She went from a skinny little girl to a strong healthy teenager. The fear in her eyes was gone replaced by confidence. 

Rick

He is the little’s girl’s stepfather. He was called a legendary monster by neighbors. He was always chopping wood at the front yard. Each swing of his axe was terrifying. One of his legs was broken and propped on a wooden stool. 

He looked strange and menacing. A huge scar ran from his left eye down to his mouth. It looked like his face was split in two. People said he was a man of few words. But one look from him could scare anyone to death. 

Although he looked malicious, he was tender and warm-hearted in the heart. At first, he didn’t want to buy the little girl as his daughter. But when he saw the grandmother kept kicking her, he agreed. At that time, life was more important than money.

Episode 5

It was the start when Stella and her mother felt the warmth from Rick. On that day, Stella’s mother made dinner with trembling hands. She put the food on the table. They stood in the yard, not daring to move. 

Rick came back, carrying two large wooden crates. He put them into the empty unused room. He saw the food and then saw the mother and the daughter standing outside. His frown deepened. He sat at the table and called them inside in a gravelly voice. 

While he ate, he grunted, “Not enough. Make more tomorrow.” He ate quickly finishing half and leaving the rest for them. Then, he stood chopping wood while watching them eat. They didn’t dare to eat much. 

But Stella soon noticed something strange. When she took big bites, he focused on his work. The moment she put down her fork, he would stare at her and frown. It seemed that he wanted them to eat more. They finished the meal in fear, waiting for the beatings to start. But Rock didn’t yell or hit them. He just put away his ax and spoke, “Wash up and go to sleep. It’s been a long day.”

After Rick finished, Stella’s mom took her to wash up. They hadn’t used hot water in three years. Stella’s mother kept muttering as she washed her face, “I must get clean. Then he won’t hate me.” The hot water hit Stella’s back and she felt warm instantly. Stella never knew a bath could feel this good. 

Episode 8

At the episode 8 of My Savage Farmer Step-Dad, there was affection between Rick, Stella and her mother cropping out. It was the fifth day Rick left the house. Snow began to fall from the sky. Stella’s mom looked at the darkening sky, then at her. She pointed to the food in the kitchen and she told Stella to take care of herself. Stella’s mother said to Stella, “I’m going to find him.”

Stella’s mother put on thick clothes, strapped a dagger to herself and took a flashlight. Stella was too worried to stay so she hid a small curved knife on herself. Stella followed closely behind her mother. In Stella’s heart, Rick was her real dad and he was one thousand times better than her real father. So she also wanted to find Rick. 

They held hands and walked deep into the mountains. Before, they only gathered firewood at the edge of the woods. People said there were wolves, wild boars, and man eating black bears deep inside. But as long as Stella was with her mom and thinking that Rick was waiting for them, she wasn’t scared at all. 

Heavy snow fell from the sky. It was only afternoon but it was already completely dark. The path through the woods was extremely hard to walk. They stepped deep and shallow, sometimes falling into deep holes made of fallen leaves. 

Before long heavy footsteps came from ahead. Stella’s mom pulled out her dagger and Stella gripped her curved knife tightly. They stared ahead, terrified and alert. The footsteps grew closer. A tall limping figure appeared. He was dragging a huge black bear. It was Rick. Stella rushed over and hugged him.
