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

It’s not that she looks down on her eldest son, but as a mother, she knows his worth best.

After she passes away, as long as the fourth brother can have enough food to eat and warm clothes to wear, she and the old man can rest in peace down there.

Upon hearing this, Shen Jianping felt uncomfortable. He picked up another piece of rabbit meat and put it in his mouth, enjoying the delicious taste.

"Mom, I'm your biological child, how can you say that to me?"

"I will definitely be successful in the future. I will build you a big house, and you can eat meat and fine grains every day, so that you can enjoy a happy life."

The old lady glared at him and slapped his hand away as he was about to pick up the rabbit meat.

"You should eat less now and leave more for others. I, your mother, will be blessed."

All he does is eat, eat, eat. If it wasn’t her eldest son, she would have beaten him to death long ago.

Shen Jianping quickly withdrew his hand and smiled awkwardly, "Mom, stop hitting me. I'm just giving you meat, why are you hitting me?"

After saying that, he turned his head to look at Xu Manyue and Lin Luoxia, "Third sister-in-law, second sister-in-law, look at mother, she doesn't make any sense at all."

Xu Manyue pursed her lips and smiled. She was about to say something, but facing the look in the old lady's eyes, she had to shut her mouth and lower her head to eat her meal.

The old lady glared at Shen Jianping and said, "Fourth brother, you have the lowest status in this family, and I, your mother, have the highest status. It's useless for you to complain to anyone."

Lin Luoxia picked up a piece of rabbit meat and put it into Shen Jianping's bowl. "Mom, the fourth child is growing up, so it's okay for him to eat a little more. The rabbits at home have given birth to several more litters these days, so there's enough for him to eat."

The old lady rolled her eyes at her and said, "What do you mean by enough to eat? No matter how much food we have at home, we can't afford to waste it like this."

"Besides, at this time, it's good enough to be alive. We are so well fed, so we don't have to worry about others finding out that we have food at home."

Lin Luoxia closed her mouth instantly and gave Shen Jianping a helpless look.

Shen Jianping sighed and could only drink the cornmeal porridge in silence.

The old lady suddenly slapped her forehead and said in frustration, "Look at my memory. Oh, Third Wife, your eldest brother and his family are in the city. What do they eat without food coupons?"

"I still have a few food coupons that Jingming sent back. You'll probably have to go to the city tomorrow to deliver them to them."

"And take these eggs we stole from the Wang family to your sister-in-law to nourish her body. She'll get better soon and be discharged from the hospital sooner, saving money."

Xu Manyue nodded and said, "Okay, I'll go tomorrow morning."

After dinner, Shen Qingqing took the initiative to clean up the dishes and looked much smarter. Shen Baozhu followed her around every day, calling her sister all the time, and was not as distant as before.

It seems that during these days when Mrs. Shen was away, Lin Luoxia did teach Shen Qingqing something.

Xu Manyue put down her bowl and chopsticks and was about to go back to the house to rest when suddenly, Shen Qingqing caught up with her and called her, her fingers clenched into her sleeves.

"Aunt San, my mother...how is she?"

Xu Manyue paused and shook her head gently, "Don't worry, your mother has woken up and is in better spirits. You should be able to see her in a few days."

Shen Qingqing finally breathed a sigh of relief, but she was still extremely worried.

She took Xu Manyue's hand and looked up at her, "Aunt San, can you take me with you tomorrow?"

"My brother is gone, and my mother must be very sad."

younger brother?

Xu Manyue was stunned for a moment before she realized that the brother she was talking about was the aborted child.

Before one of them was born, Mrs. Shen was sure it was her son's embryo.

"Okay, I'll leave tomorrow morning. Go tell your grandma and I'll take you with me tomorrow morning."

At this time, Xu Manyue looked up and saw Shen Xiaoshan standing in the corner again. He didn't know when he stood there.

The boy was a teenager, not very tall, very thin, and very quiet.

So quiet that people ignored his existence, as if he didn't care about anything.

Shen Qingqing also saw him and quickly tugged at Xu Manyue's sleeve, "Third Aunt, don't worry about him. He has no conscience at all. He is an ungrateful person."

His mother was usually so nice to him, but every time his father beat her, he would just stand in the corner and watch coldly, never standing up to stop it.

So what if he is a boy? So what if he can carry on the family line? In this regard, he is still not as good as her.

Xu Manyue was silent for a moment, then patted Shen Qingqing's hand and said, "Qingqing, go back to the kitchen and clean up the dishes first. Just wait for me in the yard tomorrow morning."

Shen Qingqing bit her lip, glared at Shen Xiaoshan in the corner, and turned into the kitchen.

After people leave.

Xu Manyue walked up to Shen Xiaoshan and asked, "Xiaoshan, do you need me for something?"

In the system, there is no information about Shen Xiaoshan in the basic information of the Shen family.

She has been married into the Shen family for almost half a year, and she doesn't know this nephew very well.

In this family, apart from the fourth son, the old lady loves her eldest grandson the most.

But Shen Xiaoshan was too silent, rarely spoke, and didn't even care about anyone.

Everyone in the Shen family seemed to be ignoring this problem, or perhaps they noticed it, but no one thought there was a problem.

Shen Xiaoshan was silent for a long time and shook his head, "Aunt San, I don't have it."

After saying that, he turned and left.

Xu Manyue stood there, watching his back disappear, feeling a little complicated.

Shen Xiaoshan didn't seem to be as indifferent to anything as he appeared.

But she didn't think much about it and turned back to the house to rest.

It's quite tiring to ride a bicycle back and forth from the county town to the brigade for several hours every day.

I have been busy with so many things recently that I haven't found time to send the letter I wrote to Shen Jingming a few days ago, as well as the insoles and vest he gave me.

It's only noon.

Xu Manyue planned to take a break for an hour and wait until the weather was cooler to send the things.

The sun is scorching hot, and now it is summer, the drought is getting worse.

Even when lying in the house, I was sweating all over.

Xu Manyue had just come back from the city on a bicycle, and her body was covered in sweat and sticky.

She simply went into the independent bathroom rewarded by the system, turned on the hot water, lay in the bathtub, took a bath, changed into clean clothes, and had a good sleep.

When I woke up again, it was almost afternoon and the weather was not that hot.

Xu Manyue took all the things she wanted to send to Shen Jingming and quickly rode her bicycle to the county town.

At this time, there were not many people sending letters at the post office, so it didn't take her much time to send the item.

Just as Xu Manyue walked out of the post office, a skinny, pale little boy came out from nowhere and blocked her way.

"Sister-in-law, can you give me something to eat? My grandma is almost starving to death. Please be kind and give me just a little bit of food. Anything will do."
