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

"Mom, eldest sister-in-law, second sister-in-law, the sun is so bright, why don't you go inside?"

At this time, Xu Manyue came out of the old lady's room carrying some corn flour and a few sweet potatoes. When she looked up, she saw several people talking there.

Mrs. Shen's eyes widened, and she blurted out subconsciously, "Third sister-in-law, you didn't cry secretly?"

Just now, I saw that her eyes were red, and I thought she ran in and cried secretly behind their backs.

I didn't expect that this person was actually preparing to cook.

Lin Luoxia and the old lady were also surprised, but they soon came to their senses.

They all thought that Xu Manyue must be feeling somewhat uncomfortable, but was just trying to hold it in and was unwilling to show it.

The old lady sighed, walked forward and took the food from Xu Manyue's hand.

"Third wife, don't cook today. Go take a day off. I've been lying in bed all day and haven't done much."

"Mom will cook today's meal. You can go back to your room and have a good sleep."

Xu Manyue noticed what everyone was thinking and felt a little amused and helpless. She avoided the old lady's hand.

"Mom, I'm fine. You don't have to worry about me. It was just too sunny outside, so I came back early to make lunch."

The old lady still didn't believe it. She stared at her for a long time and asked doubtfully, "Really?"

Mrs. Shen also came over and said, "Third sister-in-law, if you have something on your mind, don't keep it to yourself. If you're really upset, in a couple of days, I'll have your eldest and second brothers put sacks on their shoulders and beat up those two guys today to vent your anger."

As she spoke, she pulled Lin Luoxia's sleeve, "Second sister-in-law, don't you think so?"

Lin Luoxia nodded, "Yeah."

Xu Manyue sighed and looked up at the people, "Mom, sister-in-law, second sister-in-law, I'm really fine."

"You don't have to worry about me."

She had indeed been a little emotionally shaken by what Xu Xiangyang had said. However, those events of her past life were already far away. The Xu family had given birth to her and raised her, so she could consider her past life as a way to repay their kindness.

From now on, she will just treat the Xu family as strangers.

As long as they don't provoke her, she won't get involved with them.

The old lady touched her hand and said, "Third daughter-in-law, although you have not been married for long, I have seen all your efforts for the family these days. You are a good child."

"As long as you don't agree, if the Xu family dares to come to our house in the future, mother will definitely bring your eldest brother and sister-in-law and the others to support you and vent your anger."

"You are the daughter-in-law of our Shen family now. How can you allow outsiders to bully you?"

Mrs. Shen nodded quickly, "That's right, our family can only be bullied by our own people, and outsiders can forget about it. If those people dare to come to our house again next time, don't worry, Third Sister-in-law, I will definitely help you deal with them."

"In this family, I've inherited our mother's teachings on beating people. In the entire Qingshan Brigade, besides mother, I'm the best. Last time, I slapped Xu Mingyue so hard that her face was completely crooked."

"Mom, don't you think so?" Mrs. Shen looked at the old lady with a smile.

The old lady rolled her eyes at her and looked at her bulging belly. "Come on, you're still talking about inheriting my true teachings. Who was it that was nearly pushed down by a bloated old man today?"

"If it weren't for the third daughter-in-law holding you up in time, you wouldn't have known what would have happened."

"You, you, if you don't cause trouble for me, I'll be very lucky."

Mrs. Shen's face flushed a little, but she was known for being thick-skinned in this family.

She didn't get angry when someone said that to her. Instead, she imitated the tone that Xu Manyue usually used to act coquettishly to the old lady and rubbed against her.

"Mom, how can you say that to me? It will make me sad."

In an instant, the old lady got goose bumps all over her body, jumped up quickly, stood away from her, and patted the place where Mrs. Shen had touched.

"You're already old, why are you still acting like a little girl? Aren't you ashamed? You're almost embarrassing me."

Mrs. Shen felt extremely aggrieved. She stamped her feet and looked at the old lady with great resentment.

Sure enough, ever since the third daughter-in-law married into the family, her status in her mother's heart has plummeted, and she is no longer her most beloved daughter-in-law.

Thinking back to the beginning, my mother loved her the most.

Xu Manyue couldn't help laughing when she saw this scene.

It's really strange that the only people in this family who can deal with Mrs. Shen are the old lady, besides Mr. Shen.

Lin Luoxia stood aside, also covering her mouth and laughing, "Sister-in-law, the tone of your words, let alone my mother, even I got goosebumps."

It’s better to be normal.

Xu Manyue watched a few people talking and joking, then looked down at the time.

"Mom, eldest sister-in-law, second sister-in-law, you guys chat first, I'm going to go cook. I happen to have a lot of sweet potato leaves left today, so I'm going to use them to make a sweet potato leaf and cornmeal porridge and steam some sweet potatoes."

The old lady waved her hand and said, "Go ahead, go ahead. Add a little more cornmeal today and make the porridge thicker. It will be a snack for everyone."

Xu Manyue smiled and nodded, "Okay, Mom, I'll go right away."

There are ten people in the family, and their daily rations consist of only a bowl of cornmeal and five sweet potatoes.

I can only say that I can survive by eating until I am half full, but I often wake up from hunger in the middle of the night.

But even so, the Shen family still ate better than most families in Qingshan Brigade. No one in their family suffered from edema, and no one was so hungry that they couldn't get out of bed.

Mrs. Shen's face lit up with joy instantly. "Mother is so good. She knows how to care for us."

It had been many days since they had eaten so well. Many people had starved to death outside, and many had already begun to flee from the famine.

We didn't dare to be too conspicuous when eating at home. The rations we ate every day were about the same as the wild vegetable porridge we ate when the canteen was still open.

It's just for a month, and there are a few days occasionally when I eat a little more, as a snack to replenish the body.

The old lady raised her chin and snorted coldly, "I don't care about you, I care about myself. I'm old, and all I do every day is drink that little soup."

Xu Manyue took some corn flour from the old lady's room, then turned into the kitchen and washed and cut a bunch of sweet potato leaves that she had just picked.

Soon, a pot of sweet potato leaf and cornmeal porridge, which was thicker than ever before, appeared on the dining table, with five large sweet potatoes placed on it.

After serving out the rations belonging to Boss Shen and his three brothers, the Shen family sat together to eat.

Shen Qingqing looked at the fragrant porridge and couldn't help swallowing.

"Grandma, why are you eating so well today? Is it some big day?"

Shen Baozhu looked at the half bowl of porridge, and her eyes lit up instantly, "Grandma, today's meal is so delicious."
