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

This is the entrance of the post office, a place with a lot of people coming and going.

In less than a moment, many people came over and started to watch the excitement.

The little boy couldn't stop crying, his eyes were red, and he was crying with tears and snot, looking so pitiful.

He reached out to pull Xu Manyue, and bent his knees. "Sister-in-law, please save my grandma. She is really starving to death. Now there are only two of us left in this world. If she dies, I will have no relatives anymore."

Listening to the boy's pleading, Xu Manyue felt a little uncomfortable, but she still hardened her heart and shook her head to refuse, and in front of everyone, she emptied several pockets on her body.

In the end, he only took out two cents and spread them in the palm of his hand.

"It's not that I don't want to help you, but I don't have the money or the ticket."

"These two cents are all I have on me now. If you want it, take it."

The little boy looked at the two cents, was stunned for a moment, and stopped crying.

Seeing this, the people around them quickly said, "Food is life-saving now. No one is rich. If you want to ask for food, you should find someone who seems to have food."

"This woman is covered in patches, has a sallow complexion, and is thin. Judging from her attire, she must be a farmer from a nearby brigade. How could she possibly have any food for you?"

"Kid, you'd better get up quickly and stop causing trouble for others."

"Yes, if this woman could have come up with food, she wouldn't have searched all over her body for so long and only found two cents. This kid must be confused. She couldn't have found a better person."

Xu Manyue saw the little boy pulling her clothes and refusing to let go, so she stopped talking.

She sighed and stuffed the two cents in her hand into his pocket.

"You'd better take these two cents. I'm leaving now."

After saying that, Xu Manyue pulled the boy's hand away and was about to leave.

But the boy held her tightly, "No, sister-in-law, I just saw you riding a bicycle here. You must have food at home. I don't want much, just give me a little food. My grandma is really starving to death. Please be kind."

As soon as they heard the word "bicycle", the people around them fell silent.

This thing is not cheap. They can't buy one with several months' salary. And they also need a bicycle ticket, which is not easy to get. Most people don't have the conditions to do so.

They looked Xu Manyue up and down and started talking.

"You can't tell. She's dressed in such rags, looks so thin and frail, and has a sallow complexion. She looks worse than us, but she's riding a bicycle."

"Not many people in our town have this kind of bicycle."

The discussions around were getting louder and louder, and almost all of them were condemnations of Xu Manyue.

At this time, the little boy knelt directly on the ground, crying with red eyes, and holding her sleeve tightly.

"Sister-in-law, I know you're well-off, so please have pity on me and give me something to eat. My grandma is starving to death. Anything you can give me will do."

The little boy pulled her with considerable force, and the flesh on her wrists didn't look like that of someone who was often hungry.

Xu Manyue instantly understood that she was being targeted. She forced herself to suppress her emotions, helped the man up from the ground, and had a plan in mind.

"This bicycle is just a second-hand one, and it was bought by my husband, who spent all his family savings to buy it for me as a betrothal gift."

"Because of this bicycle, my family is still in debt. Otherwise, I wouldn't be dressed so raggedly, and I wouldn't be so hungry."

"Just by looking at my complexion, you should know that I'm also struggling to make ends meet. I'm almost starving to death. How can I give anything away?"

As she spoke, Xu Manyue couldn't help but have tears in her eyes and raised her hand to wipe them away.

"Instead of looking for me, you might as well look for the uncles and aunts. They look much better than me, and they eat rations. After all, they are better off than a country boy like me."

As she spoke, she pulled the little boy to the people who were watching the fun and asked him to ask for it one by one.

"Look at this auntie. There are only a few patches on her clothes, and her face still has some flesh. She must have food at home. If you ask her, maybe she will relent and give you some food."

"And there's this old man. He looks very energetic and well-dressed. His family is well-off. Come on, go over and cry to him. He'll definitely soften his heart."

"No, no, I don't have any food at home. Go ask someone else for it. Don't come here. I want to go home."

"Get lost, you kid are a liar. I don't even have enough to eat myself, so I don't have any extra food to give you."

……

After Xu Manyue's actions, the people around her had already run away and had no time to watch the fun.

Especially some of the people who spoke for the little boy ran faster than rabbits.

The little boy also realized that something was wrong. His face turned slightly pale. He pulled Xu Manyue's hand away and ran into the alleys in an instant.

Xu Manyue watched the person disappear and then rode her bike back.

Don't think she didn't notice. The child only looked very hungry and pitiful on the outside. In fact, the strength in his hands was even stronger than hers, and there was still flesh on his wrists.

I guess he eats more than her, so why does he need her help?

It was dark when we returned to Shen's house from town.

When Shen Jianping saw Xu Manyue coming back, he immediately ran up to her.

"Third sister-in-law, do you know what happened today?"

Xu Manyue had just parked her bicycle when she heard this and couldn't help but feel curious.

"what?"

Shen Jianping sat down on the chair. "When I went out today, I heard something. Xu Shanping and Old Man Xu kicked Mrs. Xu and Tian Lanfang out of the Xu family. I heard it was because of Xu Mingyue."

"For some reason, the two brothers Xu Xiangyang and Xu Xiangbei did not stay in the Xu family. Instead, they left the Xu family with Mrs. Xu and the others."

"I heard that before they left, they took away the last bit of food from the Xu family, leaving nothing for Old Man Xu and his friends."

"Xu Mingyue, who was still pregnant, was starving. She dragged Old Man Xu and the other two to beg for food again."

"And the Lu family. It seems they're planning to flee the famine. Mrs. Lu has directly announced that Lu Huaiyuan is not allowed to marry Xu Mingyue, and the Lu family doesn't want any child she gives birth to."

"Because of this, Xu Mingyue fainted from crying several times. She ran to the Lu family's door and begged desperately at the door, but unfortunately no one in the Lu family saw her."
