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

After Xu Manyue came out of the hospital, it was a rare opportunity for her to come to the county town. Seeing that it was still early, she strolled around the area.

The county town does look better than the town, but not much better.

The surroundings were all gray, the houses were low, the streets were narrow, and there were slogans on the walls with yellow characters on a red background, saying things like "The world is vast, there is much to do. Serve the people."

The pedestrians on the road were dressed a little better, but their clothes had many patches on them, their faces were pale and thin, and most of them were too hungry to walk.

Xu Manyue looked around and even saw someone starving to death on the street.

City dwellers generally use rationed food supplies, and they still have such a hard time. It is conceivable that those in the countryside who do not have food supplies will have an even harder time.

Many of the shops around were closed, with only one or two still open.

Xu Manyue sighed. This famine would not improve in a short time. It would take at least several years before everyone's lives would improve.

But it is just an improvement, and it will take a long, long time before I can have enough to eat.

She walked on the street for a while and then rode her bike back.

It is still some distance from the village entrance.

Xu Manyue suddenly saw a bloated woman with a big belly sitting at the bottom of a small hill.

And that person was Xu Mingyue who disappeared the day before yesterday. Lu Huaiyuan squatted beside her, holding a bowl and feeding something into her mouth.

Didn’t Tian Lanfang say that Xu Mingyue had been killed?

She was stunned for a moment and was about to take a closer look.

But the moment Lu Huaiyuan looked up, he noticed her gaze and turned around to look at her.

When he saw who it was, he couldn't help but look slightly stunned.

"Man Yue, why are you here..."

Xu Manyue glanced at Xu Mingyue behind him, did not answer his question, and rode away on his bicycle.

Xu Mingyue noticed her gaze and subconsciously lowered his head, covering his face tightly. He turned his back to her and didn't look at her.

It was clear that in the past few months, she had been better off than Xu Manyue in every way, from her looks to the love of her family, and her future in-laws and husband...

But now, not long after, her loved ones who once loved her changed their attitude overnight.

The man she liked was dragging his feet and not marrying her; when she was still pregnant, the Xu family started bullying her everywhere and not giving her food.

In fact, her life now is not as good as in her dream when she was married into the Shen family.

At least at that time, she was not on the verge of starvation, nor was she abandoned by the Shen and Xu families.

She hadn't eaten for several days and had developed edema from hunger. Her whole body was swollen like a steamed bun, ugly and disgusting.

Xu Mingyue felt a sense of inferiority in her heart, and she couldn't help but bury her head even lower.

Little did she know that Xu Manyue didn't even look at her a second time. The reason why she passed by here today.

It’s just because this path is the shortest way back to the village.

She hadn't planned to take this road today, but there were too many people fleeing famine on that road, and many people starved to death on the roadside.

That's why she took a detour.

But unexpectedly, I saw Xu Mingyue here who had disappeared a few days ago.

It seems that Lu Huaiyuan had already found the person the night before, but just hid him.

At this time.

Old Man Xu and Xu Shanping came running over, having gotten the news from somewhere.

They saw Xu Manyue at a glance, who had not walked far yet. They were stunned for a few seconds, and they stopped and were about to say something.

Suddenly, I saw Xu Mingyue again, who had disappeared for several days.

The two of them ran over quickly, forgetting Xu Manyue's existence for a moment.

"Mingyue, why are you here? You haven't been around for the past two days, and we were all worried sick about you."

"Why are you worried? It would be better if you died. Boss, come back to me soon."

Tian Lanfang and Xu Pozi followed behind the two of them at some point.

When she saw her husband and son running towards Xu Mingyue, Mrs. Xu could no longer bear it and stood up and shouted.

"And you, old man, I'm telling you today, if you dare to bring this bastard into the Xu family's gate today, I will never let you go."

It was because of this bastard that the family wouldn't have lost a penny. Now the whole family is almost starving to death, and these two people actually want to take her back. Isn't this just asking the whole family to die?

Old Man Xu was a little impatient. "You old woman, you are already so old, why are you still arguing with a child? Mingyue is still pregnant now, can't you be more generous and tolerant, and take a few steps back when you can?"

Xu Shanping's face turned grim, and he nodded, "Mom, please stop messing around with that woman Tian Lanfang."

"Even if Mingyue is not Lao San's child, she is still my child and your granddaughter. You were the one who initiated this matter. You can't regret it now."

He just couldn't understand. They were all family, so why could his mother and Tian Lanfang be so petty?

Mingyue is such a good girl. She is considerate and kind to everyone in her family. Before they knew her background, it was obvious that these two people loved Mingyue very much. Is blood relationship really that important?

Mrs. Xu was so angry that her face turned green and her chest heaved violently.

She raised her hand and pointed at Xu Shanping, "How dare you say that? If Xu Mingyue was really a bastard, I wouldn't be like this."

"She doesn't look like you at all. Is she your father's or another man's? Only her shameless mother knows."

"Ever since that bastard came back, our once wonderful family has been ruined by her."

Tian Lanfang looked at Xu Mingyue, who had been hiding behind Lu Huaiyuan, not daring to speak or look up, and she spoke to Mrs. Xu.

"Mom, given our current situation, it's hard for us to even support our family. Xu Mingyue is pregnant with two bastards. We can't compromise this time and let her enter our house again."

Mrs. Xu's face turned pale. "Of course. As long as I am alive today, I will never let those messy people enter our Xu family."

When she said this, her eyes were fixed on Xu Mingyue.

Xu Mingyue naturally noticed her gaze and couldn't help crying anymore.

"No, I really am a member of the Xu family. I really am my father's biological daughter. This is what my mother told me before she passed away."

"Grandma, please don't abandon me. You were the one who wrote the letter to bring me back. You should know best what kind of person I am. How could I be that kind of person?"
