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

When the doctor came out of the emergency room, most of the night had passed.

He walked out, looked at the few people, and said seriously, "Who among you is a family member?"

Boss Shen was stunned for a moment, then walked over uneasily, "Doctor, I'm her husband, how is she?"

To be honest, this county town is already a big place for a farmer like him, and the hospital in the county town is a place he would not normally visit.

If you really need something, just go to the brigade clinic and get some medicine. It will only cost you a dime or two at most.

But today, I came to the hospital and spent ten dollars in less than one night. If I continue to spend it this way, no matter how much money I have at home, I can't afford it.

Xu Manyue and Shen Laoer also walked over, feeling a little worried.

"Doctor, if you have anything to say, just say it."

The doctor was an old man with gray hair, a sallow complexion, and skinny body, looking like a refugee.

He sighed, "She's fine for now, but she needs to stay in the hospital for a while longer. She's already old, and she didn't get enough nutrition during her pregnancy, and now she's lost the child."

"She's seriously deficient. We must provide her with adequate nutrition. Otherwise, even if she recovers, she'll still be sick..."

The old doctor wanted to continue speaking, but when he looked up, he saw Xu Manyue and the others were dressed in rags, with pale faces and thin bodies, and their bodies were covered with patches.

Even though I am a doctor with a job and eat commercial grain, I am still hungry and have no idea where to put my next meal. I can't even take care of my family.

Not to mention these rural people from the countryside.

The old doctor swallowed the rest of his words and sighed again, "Forget it. These are difficult times. Food is hard to come by. It's hard to survive, let alone replenish your body."

"Just do your best."

After saying that, the old doctor raised his hand to wipe his face, sighed silently, and turned to leave.

The two brothers, Boss Shen, said nothing.

Xu Manyue also fell silent.

In this year of famine, money is easy to come by, but providing nutrition to patients is indeed a difficult task.

After a moment, Boss Shen pursed his lips and said, "Second brother, third sister-in-law, don't tell the family about this for now."

Shen Lao Er also understood what his brother meant, which was simply giving up.

Thinking about my sister-in-law's usual behavior and the things she has done.

He didn't say anything, but just patted Boss Shen on the shoulder and said, "Brother, just do your best."

Now food is life, more important than money. It seems that my sister-in-law can only hope for the best.

Xu Manyue thought about it and said, "Brother, I have a can of malted milk that Jingming sent back. I'll go back and get it now."

After saying that, she turned around and wanted to leave, but was stopped by Boss Shen.

"Wait, Third Sister-in-law, don't bother. Your sister-in-law is in good health. We are all from the countryside and don't need these."

"Since Jingming sent it to you, you can keep it for yourself to replenish your body."

No one is rich nowadays and everyone needs to nourish their bodies. How could he do such a thing as asking the third son's wife to take out her things and give them to his wife?

Xu Manyue subconsciously turned her head to look at Boss Shen.

There was no expression on his face and his tone was very calm, as if he didn't take the doctor's words to heart at all.

Shen Lao Er, who was standing by, also felt that there was no need to add anything. "Sister-in-law, since big brother has said so, then let it be."

They have already done the most they can by providing money for their sister-in-law's medical treatment.

There are many people starving to death on the roadside now, and even more women dying with big bellies.

Malted milk is something that only the rich people in the city can afford. A can costs several dollars.

It's OK to nourish his mother, but what about nourishing his sister-in-law? It's normal for a woman to lose her child in the countryside, it's not that precious.

Xu Manyue sighed, "Brother, second brother, I don't have anything to replenish. Compared to me, my sister-in-law needs to replenish her body more now."

She relied on reforming the Shen family to obtain system rewards and survive in the famine years. Mrs. Shen was also a member of the Shen family and one of her reform targets.

Therefore, every member of the Shen family must survive.

Only in this way will she have a steady supply of food and money.

Boss Shen's expression relaxed slightly, his eyes moved, his lips moved up and down, and finally he nodded.

"Third daughter-in-law, I will always remember your kindness."

"If your sister-in-law dares to treat you badly again in the future, I will help you deal with her without you saying anything."

Xu Manyue pursed her lips and said, "Brother, second brother, I'll go back and get the things first."

"Sister-in-law, you haven't had a night's rest either. Go back and rest for a day before coming over. Your sister-in-law is not in a hurry."

"And second brother, you should go back too. You don't have anything to do right now." Mr. Shen said.

Shen Lao Er thought about it and nodded, "Okay, my third brother's wife and I will go back first."

Soon, Xu Manyue rode her bicycle back to Shen's house first, while Shen Laoer followed behind.

As she entered the village, someone suddenly appeared in front of her and blocked her way.

"Man Yue, mother wants to talk to you."

The person who came was Tian Lanfang. After not seeing her for a few days, she looked more haggard than before, her body was skin and bones from hunger, and her face was deathly blue.

Only his originally empty and numb eyes lit up the moment he saw Xu Manyue.

After being stopped by her, Xu Manyue had no choice but to stop his bicycle and look up at the woman in front of him.

"I've already said that I have nothing to do with your Xu family anymore, and I have nothing to say to you. Tian Lanfang, get out of my way."

Tian Lanfang felt a sharp pain in her heart, and felt depressed and uncomfortable.

Her eyes fell on Xu Manyue's sallow face, and she felt distressed and guilty.

"Man Yue, I know you hate me and blame me, but I didn't mean it. I...I was just schemed by Xu Mingyue and her daughter. I didn't know Xu Mingyue was so scheming."

Xu Manyue looked indifferent and was not moved at all.

What this person said was really ridiculous. Although Xu Mingyue was indeed wrong, it was always these former relatives who made her sad, not just Xu Mingyue.

It's really funny that Tian Lanfang put all these things on her.

She said in a distant and indifferent tone, "I don't care about these things anymore. You don't need to explain to me. The more you explain, the more I will get annoyed with you. If you really have some regrets, then don't bother my life."

Tian Lanfang's pupils suddenly constricted and she shook her head repeatedly, her eyes filled with pain, sadness, regret, and a variety of complex emotions intertwined.

She took advantage of Xu Manyue's inattention, ran up to her, hugged her tightly, and her eyes instantly turned red.
