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

The old lady picked up her chopsticks and tapped the bowl. "Such thick porridge, of course it's delicious. On this day, anything edible is delicious."

Yesterday, the Liu family who lived next door to them had another little girl starve to death. She was the same age as Baozhu and was only five or six years old this year.

In the entire Qingshan Brigade, there are probably not many families like the Shen family who still raise these girls well.

In rural areas, children as young as five or six can already cook for the family. But in the Shen family, Shen Qingqing, who is already fourteen years old this year, has basically never done any housework.

Although she favors her son and grandson more, she considers herself to be an old woman with some conscience.

However, Shen Qingqing is old now, and she still needs to learn how to do housework.

The old lady looked up at her eldest granddaughter and said, "Qingqing, from now on, you will take your turn to cook and do housework at home. You will be in line behind your third aunt. As for how to cook at home, ask your mother to teach you tomorrow."

"Do you understand?"

Shen Qingqing's heart skipped a beat and she subconsciously glanced at her mother.

Mrs. Shen curled her lips and said, "Mom, why do you need me to teach you? The five-year-old girl from the Liu family next door has already started standing on a stool and circling the stove."

"Qingqing will be married in a few years, but she can't even do this little bit of housework. It's because you spoil her too much."

"Let her learn it herself. It's not that difficult anyway."

The old lady's face suddenly turned cold. "She is your daughter. If you don't teach her, who will? If she marries into another family and doesn't know how to do anything, people will blame you, the mother, for not teaching her well."

A trace of hurt flashed in Shen Qingqing's eyes, and she was about to say that she could do it alone.

Xu Manyue couldn't bear to watch it anymore, she thought for a while and spoke.

"Mom, sister-in-law, let's do this. We'll take turns cooking this time, and Qingqing won't take her turn for the time being. Let her learn from us for a few days, and then let her cook on her own."

Shen Qingqing was stunned for a moment, then looked up at Xu Manyue. Her eyes instantly turned red, and her heart felt warm, as if a warm current was flowing into her heart.

"Third aunt..."

Although Third Aunt was only a few years older than her, she always felt that she was reliable and reassuring.

Seeing that Xu Manyue had spoken, Lin Luoxia nodded.

"Mom, I think what my third sister-in-law said is right. Qingqing has basically never done any housework. She needs time to slowly do anything. Let her learn from us for a few days first."

"Cooking and doing housework are not difficult tasks. I think I'll be able to get the hang of it soon."

The old lady glanced at everyone and sighed, "Okay, that's it."

After saying that, she didn't want to see Mrs. Shen anymore, so she turned away and didn't look at her.

"Big brother's wife, take your food to the yard and eat. Don't bother me here. I get angry when I see you."

"Speaking of the third daughter-in-law, she is more than ten years younger than you. Look at her, and then look at yourself. You don't act like a sister-in-law or a mother at all."

The old lady sighed, "Take your bowl and go out to eat. I can't eat when I see you now."

Mrs. Shen was stunned for a moment. She didn't know whether to eat from the bowl or put it down.

She carefully approached the old lady and asked, "Mom, are you angry? Are you really angry?"

The old lady ignored her and changed her seat directly, sitting between Xu Manyue and Lin Luoxia, picking up her bowl to eat.

Xu Manyue saw this scene, but didn't care too much and lowered her head to start eating sweet potatoes.

If she were to say, her sister-in-law's words and actions were sometimes really annoying.

She is a woman herself, so how could she be so indifferent to her own daughter?

In the basic information provided by the system.

After Mrs. Shen was beaten to death by Boss Shen, the only one who stood up for her was her daughter Shen Qingqing, whom she had always looked down upon. Everyone else basically turned a blind eye.

After dinner, Xu Manyue began to clean up the dishes. The others had already gone back to their rooms to lie down.

Only Shen Qingqing stayed behind, "Aunt San, let me help you clean up."

She imitated Xu Manyue and stacked the dishes and chopsticks on the table.

Xu Manyue nodded and said, "Okay, washing dishes and cleaning the kitchen, you should be able to do this, right? I don't need to teach you, just follow me and watch."

Shen Qingqing nodded and followed behind her. She did whatever Xu Manyue did, and even rushed to do it, such as washing dishes and wiping the table.

She was extremely careful, fearing that Xu Manyue would dislike her for not moving smoothly.

Xu Manyue sighed, "Qingqing, just do your normal work. There's not much work to do at home, so there's no need to rush to do it."

Although the two are of different generations, she is only three or four years older than Shen Qingqing. If she had not married Shen Jingming, Shen Qingqing would probably call her Sister Manyue if they met in normal times.

She could still guess some of Shen Qingqing's thoughts, she was just afraid that she would dislike her.

It seems that he was disliked by Mrs. Shen since he was a child, and developed a sensitive and inferior personality.

Shen Qingqing, who was about to rush to wipe the stove, suddenly froze and her face turned slightly pale.

"Aunt San, I...did I do something wrong?"

Or did she do something wrong to make Third Aunt unhappy?

She didn't dare ask the latter question because she was afraid that she would really be disliked by the only person in the family who cared about her.

Xu Manyue heard the caution and trembling in the girl's words.

She was stunned for a moment, and instantly realized that what she had just said had been misunderstood by Shen Qingqing.

Xu Manyue shook her head slightly, her tone slowing down. "No, you didn't do anything wrong. Stop thinking about irrelevant things in the future."

"I just wanted to say that we are all family. You don't have to be so cautious around everyone, especially me."

"We are about the same age, although we are of different generations, but you can also treat me as your sister. If you have any troubles, you can talk to me."

Shen Qingqing suddenly looked up at her, her eyes red and her lips moving slightly.

She threw herself into Xu Manyue's arms, tears streaming silently, "Aunt San, am I really unlovable? Why does mother only like my brother and not me..."

It was obvious that every time her mother was beaten by her father, she was the first to stand up and protect her. Xiaoshan would just watch from the side and never take the initiative to stand up to protect her mother.

But her mother still wouldn't even look at her. In her eyes, there were only her father, her brother, and the baby in her belly, never her.

Xu Manyue held the person in her arms and sighed, "Qingqing, you have to know that truly strong people will never live by relying on the love of others."

“Human emotions are the most fleeting things in this world. Only when you love yourself can you receive true love.”

Just like her, before Xu Mingyue came back, the Xu family treated her well, but later they chose to give up on her.

At that time, she lived with the love of her family, and when love disappeared, it was destined that she would die.

In this life, she just wants to rely on herself and love herself.
