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

Shen Jianping raised his hand and swore, "Mom, don't worry, I will definitely listen to my eldest brother and the others."

"Besides, I'm sixteen years old now, so I should help with some things at home."

The old lady hesitated, as going up the mountain was indeed dangerous.

Although we are all children who grew up in the countryside, there are many wild animals in the mountains. Especially now that there is a famine, the wild animals in the mountains must be starving.

If you don't pay attention and the smell comes, it will be a big disaster.

Finally, it was Shen Lao Er who spoke up, "Alright, go ahead, you follow me, but let me tell you, don't wander around in the mountains, be honest and obedient, otherwise don't blame us if you die or get disabled."

After dinner, Xu Manyue and her two sisters-in-law carried their vegetable baskets and wanted to look around to see if they could find some wild vegetables, and at the same time dispel other people's suspicions about the Shen family having food.

The three of them had just left the house.

Suddenly, Mrs. Shen tugged at Xu Manyue's sleeve, motioning her to look ahead. "Third sister-in-law, look, isn't that Xu Xiangbei who stole our chickens last time? Why is he here again?"

Xu Manyue looked up and saw that it was indeed Xu Xiangbei.

He gave a completely different feeling today than he did yesterday at the captain's house.

Xu Xiangbei's eyes are now red, bloodshot, and his face is dark blue.

It felt like I hadn't slept all night and had a nightmare.

He seemed to be looking at her, and also seemed to be seeing through her something that was causing him pain.

Xu Manyue retracted her gaze and didn't look at him, "Sister-in-law, let's go."

She doesn't have a good impression of the Xu family now. As long as this family doesn't cause any trouble for her, she doesn't want to have too much involvement with them.

However, he hadn't taken two steps yet.

Xu Xiangbei strode over, blocked Xu Manyue's way, and looked at her with a complicated expression.

"I want to... talk to you."

Xu Manyue was stunned, totally not understanding what this man meant. She had no relationship with him a long time ago, so why did this suddenly happen today?

Is this person confused because of hunger?

She shook her head, "No, I have something else to do."

"Besides, I've already made everything clear to you and the Xu family. There's nothing more to say now."

After saying these two words, Xu Man pulled Mrs. Shen, who was watching the fun, and Lin Luoxia, who had been silent, and was about to leave.

Unexpectedly, Xu Xiangbei ran up again and stopped her.

His eyes were red as he pleaded, "I just want to talk to you, it will only take a few minutes. It won't take much of your time."

Last night's dream didn't seem fake, but so real that he thought they had really abandoned her and let her die miserably...

After waking up from the dream, he couldn't fall asleep again, so he simply ran to the door of Shen's house and waited for her to appear.

Fortunately, he waited and found that she was not dead. Everything in the dream was fake. They did not do such a cruel thing to her.

Xu Manyue paused, looked up and looked at Xu Xiangbei carefully. After a long time, she nodded.

"Okay, I'll give you a few minutes."

Mrs. Shen curled her lips and said, "Third sister-in-law, what's the point of talking to this kind of thief? I guess he's here to blackmail our family just like his evil sister Xu Mingyue."

"Second brother and sister, don't you think so?"

Lin Luoxia nodded, “Third sister-in-law, let’s take a walk around here and go back early.”

Anyone with a discerning eye could see that Xu Xiangbei's mood was clearly off today. If his third sister-in-law spoke to him alone, who knew what might happen.

Upon hearing these words, Xu Xiangbei instantly became anxious and quickly explained, "No, I don't mean any harm, I just... I just want to talk to you."

Make sure she's alright, make sure she's still alive and well.

Seeing Xu Manyue silent, Xu Xiangbei became even more anxious. He stepped forward to pull her and blurted out the words subconsciously.

"Sister, please believe me, I really just..."

I just want to see her and talk to her...

However, when the word "sister" came out of my mouth.

Everyone was stunned for a moment.

Xu Manyue even thought she had heard it wrong and looked at Xu Xiangbei several times again.

Mrs. Shen tugged at her sleeve and said, "Third sister-in-law, did I hear it wrongly? He actually called you sister. Is there something wrong with my ears?"

She remembered clearly how this boy dealt with his third brother's wife for Xu Mingyue.

Tsk, how dare he run up and call her sister.

Mrs. Shen rolled her eyes at Xu Xiangbei and said, "Your sister's name is Xu Mingyue, not Xu Manyue. If you want to find your sister, please go back and look for her."

"Don't come here and get in our way."

Xu Manyue was about to speak and ask Xu Xiangbei to leave.

He once said that he only had one sister, Xu Mingyue.

Suddenly, Xu Xiangbei looked straight at her and retorted without hesitation, "No, I'm not wrong. You are my sister. There's nothing wrong with me calling you that."

"I was wrong before. I was ignorant. Sister, can you forgive me?"

He strode forward, wanting to get closer to Xu Manyue.

Xu Manyue's expression changed slightly, and she quickly took a step back, pointing at him and saying coldly, "Stop, don't come near me."

"I have nothing to do with you or your Xu family anymore."

"If you want to find your sister, then go find Xu Mingyue. She is your only sister."

"Don't try to claim kinship with me. I don't even have a brother like you."

Xu Xiangbei's eyes instantly turned red, and his voice choked with sobs, "Sister, you really... don't want me anymore..."

They had such a good relationship as siblings back then, how could she just say no and give up on him?

Xu Manyue's tone faded, "Xu Xiangbei, you forgot that you were the one who didn't want me in the beginning."

"Back then, for Xu Mingyue, you repeatedly called me vicious and cold-blooded. You haven't forgotten all of this, have you?"

"I don't have many other advantages. The only thing is that I will never change my decision easily. Since you chose to hurt me for someone else, I will not shamelessly stick to you."

"Hearing you call me sister now really disgusts me."

Xu Xiangbei seemed to have been drained of all his strength in an instant. He stared blankly at Xu Manyue and muttered to himself, "Sister, are you really angry? You really... don't want me as your brother anymore?"

When he thought of this possibility, his heart seemed to be grabbed and beaten by someone, making him feel depressed and uncomfortable.

No, that wouldn't happen. His sister loved him so much. Whenever he made mistakes as a child, she was the one who protected him and shielded him from his parents' scolding.

How could she not want him?

"Sister, are you still angry with me? I was really wrong. Please don't treat me like this, okay? I really know I was wrong."

"At the beginning, I treated Sister Mingyue only out of pity for her because she had no parents and no one to rely on. I really didn't mean to treat you like that, Sister. Do you believe me?"
