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

Thinking about yesterday, Liu Aihua protected her youngest son everywhere, not caring at all that her sister-in-law was lying on the bed, covered in blood, and almost dying.

Xu Manyue's expression turned cold. "There's no need to go see her. My sister-in-law probably doesn't want to see you either. If you have any conscience, give her some more nourishment."

"I remember you have an old hen at home. I'll stew it and send it to my sister-in-law."

"Don't just take two eggs and pretend to do it casually."

What's the use of just talking? If you want compensation, you have to at least give something. Only what you actually get is real compensation.

Liu Aihua was stunned for a moment and smiled awkwardly.

"Man Yue, this... the chicken in this house can't be moved casually. Everyone in the family, young and old, is counting on that chicken."

Life was tough now, with the family struggling to make ends meet and each meal consisting mostly of watery, bland soup. She was already so old, and she had been hungry for days.

My daughter-in-law is pregnant and my son is very hungry. They all rely on this chicken at home.

If I really stew it and send it to Zhaodi, how will my family survive in the future?

Xu Manyue curled her lips and said, "Your Wang family is really calculating. You dare to push a pregnant woman away, and then just leave her on the bed to die."

"If we hadn't come to her house yesterday, I think what we would have seen today would have been her dead body."

"Now that he's in the hospital, you haven't even shown any reaction."

"Sister-in-law is not only your Wang family, but also our Shen family. Don't worry, our Shen family will not forget this matter. When the time comes, it will not be solved by a chicken."

After saying that, she turned around and was about to leave. Liu Aihua panicked instantly and quickly stopped her.

"Man Yue, don't, don't be like this. We are all family. We should talk it out. What happened yesterday was really not intentional. We didn't mean to hurt Zhao Di."

"Is this okay? We definitely can't kill the chicken, but we still have eggs. From now on, I'll save the eggs every day and take them to the county hospital to nourish Zhaodi until she recovers."

Liu Aihua's mouth was dry from talking, and seeing that Xu Manyue remained unmoved, she became a little impatient.

"Yesterday I gave all the ten yuan I had saved to Zhaodi for her medical treatment. We are truly sorry."

"Manyue, go back and talk to your mother-in-law and your eldest brother and let this matter go. We are all family, and Zhaodi didn't suffer any serious consequences."

Xu Manyue didn't even look at her.

"What do you mean it wasn't a big deal? Losing a child is not a big deal? If we had been a few steps later yesterday, I'm afraid even the adults would have been dead."

"I won't say that. Go talk to my mother-in-law yourself."

"As for the eggs you mentioned, my sister-in-law needs to replenish her body right now. No matter where you get them, give her at least two eggs a day until she recovers."

"Otherwise, your son and daughter-in-law will pay the price for yesterday."

After saying this, she took the two eggs that Liu Aihua brought, climbed onto the bicycle, pedaled hard, and quickly left.

Don’t think they don’t know that what happened yesterday was done by Wang Yougen and his wife.

The couple wanted to take over the Shen family, so they took advantage of the news that Liu Aihua was ill and called their eldest sister-in-law over.

The eldest sister-in-law disagreed, and after struggling, she was pushed to the ground by the two men, and almost died.

But their first reaction was not to find someone to rescue her, but to drag her to the bed in the room, wrap her in a quilt, and secretly throw her away after she died.

As for Liu Aihua, as an accomplice, she was not much better off.

Now you want to get away with this with just two eggs, but it’s not that easy.

On the road.

There were more people fleeing famine than before, and the elderly and children who had starved to death could be seen everywhere on the roadside.

Everyone looked gray and skinny, with only skeletons left on their bodies, which was terrifying.

Xu Manyue didn't go to see them, nor did she care. She just kept riding her bike, wanting to leave here quickly.

To be honest, she had seen these scenes countless times, and she had even been one of them.

But every time I see it, I still feel depressed and uncomfortable.

Even if she were to live her life over again, she would still be an ordinary rural person who grew up in the countryside. Facing natural disasters, the only thing she could do was to take care of herself.

People are selfish. Since the famine came, Xu Manyue felt more and more that this sentence was true, especially when it came to her.

When we arrived at the hospital, Mrs. Shen had already woken up, but she was still in a daze.

She kept touching her flat belly, her eyes blank and no one knew what she was thinking.

Boss Shen had been guarding her in the hospital for the entire morning, and having taken her to the county town last night, he was hungry and tired, and fell asleep on the hospital bed.

When Xu Manyue walked in, she happened to see this scene.

She looked down at the malted milk and a few eggs she was carrying, thought for a moment, and ultimately did not go in.

It's almost lunch time now.

There was no food in the hospital cafeteria, and the state-owned restaurants outside required food stamps and money, so they must not have eaten yet.

It just so happened that she had two food coupons on her, and she still had quite a bit of money left from the old lady's gift.

Xu Manyue took the money and ticket and went to a nearby state-owned restaurant.

When she got there, there were already quite a few people queuing up. Within a few minutes, only a few steamed buns were left.

The cashier at the window had already become impatient. Faced with so many people swarming in front of the window, she started swearing.

"Why are you pushing so hard? Line up. If you don't line up, don't come in later. There are only a few steamed buns left. Those who came in front can stay. The rest of you can get out. There's nothing left today."

Xu Manyue took a look and was fortunate that she had arrived early and was at the front of the line.

However, because she had a starving child behind her, she finally only asked for a steamed bun.

After leaving the state-owned restaurant, she went to the system mall and bought four steamed buns and a bowl of egg custard, and secretly put them into the vegetable basket she carried with her.

The reason why Xu Manyue came to the state-owned restaurant was not to buy food, but to take advantage of the cover of the state-owned restaurant to get food from her small independent kitchen.

Back to the hospital again.

Boss Shen has woken up, and Mrs. Shen is lying on the hospital bed, crying silently, her eyes are swollen from crying.

Her face was still extremely pale, and she looked extremely haggard, as if she would break if she was gently squeezed. This was completely different from her usual arrogant and domineering demeanor.

The atmosphere between the couple was very depressing and they didn't talk to each other.

Xu Manyue pushed the door open and broke the atmosphere between the two.

"Third sister-in-law, you're here." Boss Shen stood up and smiled a little tiredly.

"You talk to your sister-in-law. I'm going to go out and wash my face."

"Don't worry, leave this to me."

After everyone left, Mrs. Shen was obviously absent-minded, and her eyes kept following the figure of Boss Shen as he left.

Xu Manyue sighed, sat beside the bed, and fed the egg custard in her hand to Mrs. Shen's mouth.

"Sister-in-law, try this egg custard. I bought it specially for you."

"Don't think about anything now. Taking good care of your health is the most important thing. Mom and the others are still waiting for you to come back home."
