Famine Bride: Marry into the best in-laws and win

It was late and the surroundings were pitch black.

Shen family.

Ever since she visited the captain for the last time at noon today, Xu Manyue has had no appetite from noon till now.

But I can't not eat it.

At night, she closed the door, went into the small kitchen, cooked half a bowl of porridge, added a little sugar and stirred it a few times, and had it as dinner.

Following the trajectory of the previous life.

After the captain was buried, the news that there were only a few seeds in the warehouse spread throughout the brigade.

Everyone will panic because of this incident, and most people will choose to flee the famine and seek a chance of survival outside.

From then on, everyone's journey to escape famine officially began.

In the previous life, the Xu family began to flee famine not long after the captain died.

However, at that time, Lu Huaiyuan took the Xu family and got a batch of food on the black market. It was that batch of food that allowed them to escape to a place that could accept them.

Now, that batch of grain has fallen into the hands of the Shen family, and Lu Huaiyuan and the Xu family have no food left to support them in fleeing the famine.

Xu Manyue thought again of the Xu family members she saw at the captain's house today. They all looked pale and thin.

Even her former father suffered from edema. Not only did Xu Mingyue not marry into the Lu family, but she also became pregnant with twins and had to rely on the Xu family for support.

If this continues, the family will probably starve to death.

Xu Manyue checked and found that the total transformation value she currently had was 7,635.

In the system mall, a large meat bun only costs six transformation points, and a pound of corn grits only costs ten transformation points.

Seeing this transformation value of more than 7,000, it is equivalent to having more than 700 kilograms of food.

Xu Manyue breathed a sigh of relief instantly. The food was enough for her to eat alone, and she would not starve to death again.

And as long as she worked hard, she would have a constant supply of food during this year of famine.

These things are her confidence and her reliance.

Thinking of this, Xu Manyue looked at the remaining balance of the transformation value again, and felt more at ease.

Early the next morning.

The sky was bright.

The first thing Xu Manyue did after washing up was to go and check on the sweet potatoes planted in the yard.

In order to prevent being discovered, she and the old lady placed some thin branches around their private plot to cover it, and also spread a lot of rotten leaves on the ground.

It has been a month or two since the last time I planted.

Xu Manyue removed the thin branches, and the green sweet potato vines covered the entire private plot. The sweet potato leaves grew densely, which was soothing and reassuring to look at.

All of a sudden, even the hot air became much fresher.

It looks like it's ready for cuttings.

Mrs. Shen also came over. She saw Xu Manyue squatting there looking at something, so she walked over.

When she saw the sweet potato vines and leaves all over the ground, she couldn't help swallowing.

"Third sister-in-law, these sweet potato leaves are growing well. You and mother have grown them very well. I didn't pay much attention to them before, but I didn't expect them to grow so well in the blink of an eye. They are so green and beautiful."

"How about we stir-fry some sweet potato leaves for us to try later? We haven't had any fresh vegetables at home in a while."

Since the canteen was disbanded, the entire team has been eating everything edible around them. Not to mention fresh wild vegetables, even the grass roots and tree bark are almost gone.

Xu Manyue looked at these private plots and estimated that the places on the mountain where sweet potatoes were grown should be enough, and there might even be some left over.

It doesn’t take much to stir-fry a plate of sweet potato leaves.

She nodded and said, "Okay, let's give everyone a taste today."

Suddenly, Mrs. Shen's eyes lit up and she thought of the rabbits at home. She pulled Xu Manyue to the chicken coop.

"Third sister-in-law, let me tell you, our rabbit has given birth to five or six little ones."

"I just discovered it last night when I went to feed the rabbits hay. I guess it won't be long before our family can eat rabbit meat."

"You're really amazing. You actually thought of this idea."

Xu Manyue walked over and took a look. She found that the pair of rabbits had really given birth to five babies. There was also a small one that was nestled in the corner and no one noticed it.

"Sister-in-law, look over there, there's another one. Don't forget it when you and sister-in-law feed them."

Mrs. Shen took a closer look and was shocked to find that there was actually one more.

She instantly burst into laughter, her eyes fixed on the skinny little bunny, "Don't worry, don't worry, how could I forget that? It's all meat."

Xu Manyue couldn't help laughing.

This is the first good news in so many days.

During lunch, everyone in the Shen family couldn't help but get excited when they saw the garlic-flavored sweet potato leaves on the table.

Boss Shen swallowed hard, "Third sister-in-law, have the sweet potato vines you and mother planted grown?"

If this is true, their second step plan can be implemented very soon.

Xu Manyue nodded and said, "I went to check it out this morning. Those sweet potato vines can be used to grow sweet potatoes."

There are even some left over that can be used as food.

Shen Lao Er thought for a moment and said, "Early tomorrow morning, my elder brother and I will go to the mountain to plant the sweet potatoes."

It’s better to make plans early. There’s no time to delay when it comes to food.

The old lady picked up a piece of sweet potato leaf and put it in her mouth. She tasted it and found it fragrant and refreshing.

"How about this, tomorrow morning, the eldest, second, and third daughters-in-law, you all get up early and help me cut those sweet potato vines. That way, the eldest brother and his two brothers can go to the mountain and plant the sweet potato vines sooner."

Shen Jianping quickly spoke up, "Mom, I'm going with my eldest brother and the others too. Last time you told me to follow behind them, so don't forget me this time."

These days, he basically did nothing. Instead, his elder brother and others were busy taking care of the family. Before the famine, he was ignorant and didn't care.

But now, seeing so many people starving to death outside, he suddenly realized that he could not always rely on his family, and he also had to contribute to his family.

The old lady thought for a moment and said, "That's fine, but you have to follow your eldest and second brothers closely, don't wander around, listen to them, and don't do anything unnecessary."

My old son has always relied on my family, and since she is still alive, there is no problem.

When she is gone one day, even if the eldest brother and others have no objections, after a long time, the daughters-in-law will have some ideas.

It would be better to let him exercise more now.

Boss Shen waved his hands impatiently, "Mom, why did you let him go? There are so many wild animals on the mountain. What if something happens to the fourth brother by accident?"

"These days, many people in our team are so hungry that they run up the mountain and get eaten by wild animals."
