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

Xu Manyue hurriedly stepped forward and bowed respectfully to the old man.

He then handed the bag of osmanthus cake, egg cake and a can of malted milk to the other party with both hands.

"Teacher, long time no see. This is some cakes Jingming and I brought for you. We were very grateful for your care when we were in school."

She really admires this teacher.

It can be said that if it weren’t for him, this commune primary school would have been gone long ago.

Old Man Qian looked at Xu Manyue carefully, and many things came to his mind. He felt quite emotional for a moment.

"I still remember you. You were the best student in the class. If you had continued your studies, you would have definitely become a college student."

"I never thought that two of my best students would end up together. It's fate, it's fate."

He waved his hand and said, "I'll take the money on behalf of the children. I don't need anything. You can take these things back. I appreciate the kindness."

"But, Man Yue, do you have any idea about coming here to teach the children?"

Xu Manyue was stunned for a few seconds, then returned to normal, smiled and nodded, "Teacher, to be honest, I do have this idea. I want to take the recruitment exam for our commune primary school."

Then her tone changed. "It's just... I only graduated from junior high school. I don't know if I'm eligible to sign up."

Old Man Qian sighed, "What's the big deal? You're my personal student. With your abilities, I'm most confident in you teaching the children."

"As long as you can pass the recruitment exam, you don't need an interview, you can just come here and work."

When we came out of the commune primary school, it was getting dark.

In the Shen family yard, Lin Luoxia and her husband were discussing with the old lady about sending their children to school.

"Mom, Baozhu is old enough now. Isn't it time to send her to school?"

Now the Shen family has not split up yet, and most of the money is in the hands of the old lady. If the children want to go to school, they must discuss it with her first, and of course the money for schooling is also paid by the family.

Before the old lady could speak, Mrs. Shen curled her lips and said, "Second sister-in-law, why should Baozhu, a girl, go to school? She will be someone else's in the future."

"I'm not saying anything bad about you, sister-in-law. You two have been married for so many years, it's time for you to have a son. When Baozhu gets married, you can support her."

"Mom, don't you think so?" She looked at the old lady with a smile.

Although the old lady didn't want to pay attention to her, the second son and his family had only one daughter for so many years. If they divided the family in the future, the second branch would become extinct. This was not acceptable.

She looked at her second son and sighed, "Second son, although now is not the time to have a child, you and your wife should also think carefully about giving Baozhu a younger brother after this famine is over."

"You can't just live with just one daughter. When you get old, who will take care of you?"

Lin Luoxia's face looked a little ugly, but she still took a deep breath, tried to calm down, and spoke before Shen Laoer.

"Mom, we both know what's going on with the child. Besides, now is not the time to have a baby. Let's talk about the future later."

Shen Lao Er glanced at Lin Luoxia and was silent for a moment, "Mom, Luoxia is right, let's talk about the future later."

"Now that Baozhu is old enough, we should send her to the commune primary school."

It is always a good idea to read more. If you can get into university, get a job after graduation, and become a city dweller, it would be a great honor for you.

Moreover, in their Shen family, except for the third son and his wife who have a junior high school diploma, the others have only studied to the third or fourth grade of elementary school at most.

If Baozhu had this ability, even if she and her husband really didn't have a son in the future, her family would not look down on her just because she was a girl.

Seeing that the old lady was hesitant to speak, Lin Luoxia became a little anxious. "Mom, no matter whether it's a boy or a girl, they are all children of our Shen family. Even Qingqing went to school for two years. Now that Baozhu is old enough, it's time for her to go to school."

"As for giving Baozhu a younger brother, there's still famine outside, so let's talk about it later."

Mrs. Shen rolled her eyes. These two people only knew how to deceive their mother. However, it was none of her business. After all, it wouldn't be their eldest wife who would be wiped out in the future.

It’s good not to have a son. If she doesn’t have a son, maybe the second wife’s things will belong to her son in the future.

At this time, Xu Manyue and Shen Jingming just came back. As soon as they came back and parked their bicycles, they were discovered by Lin Luoxia. She quickly got up and ran over to stop the two of them.

"Third sister-in-law, third brother, come here for a moment and help me talk to your second brother so that mother can send Baozhu to study in the commune."

There used to be a primary school in the brigade, not far from the Shen family, but now the brigade is almost empty, so the primary school naturally can no longer operate.

If children want to go to school, they can only walk one or two hours along the mountain road to attend the commune’s primary school.

Xu Manyue and Shen Jingming looked at each other and walked over.

Other things can be delayed, but children’s education must not be delayed.

The old lady still didn't give in. When she saw Xu Manyue and his wife coming over, she didn't say anything, but just thought about things in silence.

As soon as Xu Manyue walked to her side, she was pulled by Mrs. Shen and whispered.

"Third sister-in-law, you'd better not get involved in this mess. Mother is clearly trying to force the second brother and the others to give her a word, so that they can give birth to a son when the time is right."

"Don't interfere in this matter. Mother knows her limits."

After she finished speaking, she looked at Shen Jingming again and said, "Third brother, you too, you two have been wandering around the county town for most of the day and you must be tired. You should go back early and rest first."

Lin Luoxia couldn't stand it anymore, so she pulled Mrs. Shen away.

"Sister-in-law, look at what you're saying. We haven't split up yet, we're all one family. Of course our affairs have something to do with the Third Brother and the others. When Qingqing and Xiaoshan were in school, my husband and I didn't say anything."

"Why are you so unhappy when it's Baozhu's turn? Is there any aunt like you?"

Shen Lao Er's face was also very ugly. "Sister-in-law, don't forget, the last time you were pushed to the ground by your brother from your mother's family, it was my brother and I who pulled a cart to take you to the hospital at night. It was pitch dark at the time, and I spent a lot of effort."

"You're trying to trip us up now, isn't that too cold-blooded?"

Mrs. Shen sighed, not caring at all about what the couple thought.

"It's because you helped me before that I'm kind enough to advise you to have a son sooner rather than later. Tell me, every family has eight or ten children. If it weren't for this famine, I would have had several already."

"You two are treating your daughter like a treasure. This is not okay. What if Baozhu finds an unreliable man in the future and you two are old? Who will support her and vent her anger?"

"And after you die, you can't let her daughter smash the pot for you, right? That would make everyone laugh to death."

"I'm advising you this for your own good. If you don't believe me, ask Mom. I'm sure she thinks the same way."

"Right, mother?" Mrs. Shen glanced at Lin Luoxia and walked to the old lady's side.
