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

Lin Luoxia's face turned completely cold. She looked at the old lady and said, "Mom, are you really not going to agree to Baozhu going to school?"

Why can the eldest wife’s two children go to school, but her daughter can’t? Is it because they don’t plan to have a second child?

The old lady raised her eyelids, glanced at Lin Luoxia, and then looked at Shen Laoer, "Second Laoer, don't worry about Baozhu going to school. You two should tell mother that you really don't plan to give Baozhu a brother in the future?"

Shen Lao Er opened his mouth, but in the end said nothing.

He wanted to have another son, but his wife refused to give birth to one. He couldn't find another woman to have one, because that would be useless.

Lin Luoxia forced herself to suppress the emotions in her heart, "Mom, let's talk about the child after the famine is over. Don't worry, I won't let your son be without descendants."

The last time she gave birth to Baozhu, she had a narrow escape of death. This time, whether for her own life or for her daughter, she planned not to give birth.

Since the old lady wants it, let Shen Lao Er find those widows outside to have children. Anyway, he has so many women outside that it’s hard to count them. Who knows if he has left any bastards.

Shen Lao Er subconsciously turned his head to look at Lin Luoxia, and his heart couldn't help but feel a little excited. She...she agreed?

The old lady thought she was giving in, and her brows relaxed a little. "I'm glad you think so. In a couple of days, go to the commune primary school and enroll Baozhu."

Lin Luoxia nodded and said nothing more.

After all, as long as her Baozhu can go to school and her daughter is well, she doesn't care about anything else.

Xu Manyue, who was standing aside, watched quietly as the few people finished their discussion. She then handed some egg cakes she had bought today to the old lady.

"Mom, this is the cake we bought for you when we went to the city today. Try it, it's so soft."

The old lady felt warm in her heart and took the egg cake and chewed it up and down. "You two are really worry-free. You know how to think about me. You are tired after a day. Go back and rest."

This egg cake is not ordinary. I heard that it is made of eggs and high-quality flour, and also contains sugar. These are the best ingredients. Rural people generally cannot afford to eat this.

She is lucky, her daughter-in-law is well-behaved and filial, and her son is capable.

Xu Manyue nodded and said, "Mom, let's go back to the house first."

Lin Luoxia and Shen Laoer are capable, so there is no need for them to say anything in front of the old lady about Baozhu's schooling.

Besides, it is impossible for the old lady to stop Baozhu from going to school.

She said that today just to let the second wife give birth to another son.

She decided not to interfere in such matters.

Shen Jingming usually doesn't interfere in these matters. After saying something to the old lady, he went straight back to the house.

In the evening, everyone in the Shen family went back to their rooms to rest.

Lin Luoxia leaned in Shen Laoer's arms and talked about what happened today, "I accidentally heard something yesterday. The third brother wanted to help his wife find a job. It seems that he wanted his third brother's wife to be a teacher in the commune primary school."

"You said, if my third sister-in-law really becomes a teacher at the commune primary school, then Baozhu will have a lot more convenience in school, or in going to and from school, right?"

Shen Lao Er was stunned. "Where did you hear that?"

The third brother and his wife never talked about this at home, and his mother probably doesn’t know either. How did his wife know?

"How else would I know? I accidentally overheard when I passed by their door yesterday. The third brother originally wanted to let his sister-in-law work as a temporary worker at the supply and marketing cooperative in the county. After all, that kind of work is easy and respectable."

"But my third sister-in-law didn't seem to like the job at the supply and marketing cooperative, so the third brother said there was a position at the commune primary school, but she needed to take the exam herself."

Shen Lao Er raised his eyebrows. "You have a ready-made job, why do you insist on being a teacher in that commune primary school? Many teachers have starved to death these days. It seems that teaching is not a good job."

"But if she really becomes a teacher at the commune primary school, Baozhu will have an aunt to look after her at school, and she will be much better off than other children."

Lin Luoxia nodded, "That's what I thought, so I brought up the idea of letting Baozhu go to school today, and I wanted to get them involved when the third brother and his wife just came back."

"But looking at how they acted today, I'm afraid even if my third sister-in-law becomes a teacher in the future, she probably won't treat Baozhu with extra care."

Shen Lao Er thought for a moment and said, "It shouldn't be. After all, Baozhu is her niece, and my husband and I have a good relationship with her. Baozhu is especially close to my third sister-in-law, and she treats Baozhu well."

"If something really happens, she won't just sit there and do nothing."

"Besides, even though my mother doesn't say it, she loves both her grandson and granddaughter in her heart, but she loves her grandson more."

"If Baozhu goes to school at the commune, and my third brother's wife happens to be a teacher there, mother will ask her to take good care of Baozhu without us asking her."

Lin Luoxia thought about it, but then she changed her mind and became a little worried. "But, do you think my third sister-in-law can pass the exam?"

Although there are few high school students in their commune, there are still some. Xu Manyue only has a junior high school diploma. Even with the help of the third brother, she may not be able to pass the exam.

Shen Lao Er shook his head. "Based on my understanding of the third brother, since he mentioned the position, he must be sure of it. He probably paved the way for the third brother's wife a long time ago, and she just needs to go through the motions."

Lin Luoxia sighed, "I hope so."

However, she remembered that the principal of the commune primary school was not someone who would make concessions and let others go through the outer gate; on the contrary, he hated such behavior.

I guess Xu Manyue can only get in based on her own strength.

……

After Shen Jingming returned to the room, he looked up and saw Xu Manyue already sitting at the desk, concentrating on studying with some review materials she had received today.

Although there is a general scope of the exam, it involves multiple subjects after all.

Xu Manyue never dares to be careless. When it comes to studying, she always adheres to the principle of doing her best.

Therefore, in the primary school recruitment exam eight days later, what she needs to do is not to barely meet the admission requirements, but to strive to do her best.

When she was given another chance to live her life, Xu Manyue initially just wanted to survive this famine year.

But now, she still wants to use the conditions provided by the system to work hard to improve herself, transform herself, and make a living based on her own abilities.

Instead of becoming a dodder that relies on others to survive.

Gradually, I didn't know how much time had passed. In short, it was getting darker and darker, and the light of the kerosene lamp gradually dimmed.

Shen Jingming walked over and said nothing, but silently turned up the brightness of the kerosene lamp.

It was pitch black outside the window and the lights inside the house were dim. The tall and straight figure of the man was reflected on the wall, looking particularly reassuring and reliable.

Noticing the change in light, Xu Manyue subconsciously looked up and rubbed her sore eyes.

Only then did she realize that Shen Jingming had already stood beside her, but she didn't notice anything.

Looking at the other person's actions, Xu Manyue felt a little warm in her heart. However, at this time usually, Shen Jingming would have gone to bed long ago, but he was still not asleep.

She raised her eyes to look at his exceptionally superior profile and asked uncertainly.

"You're not going to rest yet, is it because I'm flipping through the pages too loudly and disturbing you?"

There was silence all around, a deep silence.
