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

Xu Xiangbei was silent for a moment, "What should I do with my milk?"

Now, Mrs. Xu was already starving to death. She was already old and could not withstand any hardship at all.

Tian Lanfang moved her lips, and she already had an idea in her mind.

It is definitely not okay to give up two sons for an old woman.

There is almost no food left at home, and we can't give the remaining food to a dying person.

Since the two sons are reluctant to do it, let her do it.

Anyway, when she was in the Xu family, she was not very nice to her daughter-in-law and Man Yue.

Xu Xiangyang seemed to have sensed something, looked up at Tian Lanfang, but ultimately did not say anything to persuade her.

In those dreams, the reason why they abandoned Man Yue on the road to escape famine for Xu Mingyue was inseparable from his grandmother's instigation.

She's dying soon anyway, so let her experience what it's like to be abandoned.

inside the house.

Mrs. Xu, who was lying on the bed dying, struggled to open her heavy eyelids. For some reason, she felt a little uneasy in her heart, but she was really hungry, too hungry. She felt weak all over and her eyes were black.

She had no time to think about anything else. The only thing she wanted was a meal of white rice.

If only... I could have a bite before I die...

Thinking of this, Mrs. Xu's eyes lit up, she licked her pale lips up and down, and couldn't help swallowing her saliva.

Little did she know that the mother and her two children outside had already started taking the last bit of food in the house and were ready to abandon her.

……

Xu Manyue and Shen Jingming, already carrying their things, had just arrived at Uncle Xu's house.

From a distance, Aunt Xu, who was drying clothes in the yard, looked up and saw the two of them, and instantly became excited.

"Man Yue, why are you here? Oh, Jing Ming is back too?"

She quickly turned around and shouted into the house, "Dad, look who's back?"

Ever since the brigade's canteen was disbanded, their family of four had been able to barely survive during the famine years thanks to the help of the child Man Yue.

It can be seen that Man Yue is such a kind and well-behaved child.

Let’s look at the people in the old house, what they did, and their endings.

If they hadn't been so cruel to Man Yue, they wouldn't have ended up like this.

The couple also heard about Xu Shanping's death from starvation, and they had also known about the separation between the parents-in-law.

However, when the parents-in-law kicked their second wife out of the house, they had already made it clear that they did not need their second wife to support them in their old age, and their second wife could not take a single needle or thread from the old house.

Therefore, these days, when they had food, they would only occasionally send some wild vegetables or a few sweet potatoes to the two old people. As for other things, there was nothing.

Uncle Xu suddenly came out of the house and saw the two of them. He couldn't help but be stunned.

He looked at Shen Jingming, then at Xu Manyue, and was shocked. "Manyue, when did Jingming come back?"

Last night, the couple were still talking in bed about Man Yue's stay at the Shen family, worried that she was not living well at the Shen family and that their relationship would become distant.

I wanted to find an opportunity to go to Shen's house in a couple of days to see the full moon.

I didn't expect Jingming to come back today.

Now it’s good. The young couple can cultivate their relationship more, which is better than breaking up just two days after getting married like before.

Xu Manyue pursed her lips and smiled, then handed over the things in her hand. Shen Jingming also handed over the eggs, corn flour, and brown sugar in his hand.

"I came back the day before yesterday."

"These are the things we bought for you and Second Aunt yesterday in the county town. They're just right for you to replenish your bodies."

Uncle Xu and Aunt Xu waved their hands and quickly pushed the things back. "We are all family. Why bring so many things to your own home? Just come. We understand your intention. Take these things back."

Shen Jingming pushed these things back again with a forceful action that did not allow for refusal, and his tone clearly paused.

"Second uncle, second aunt, you treat Man Yue as if she were your own daughter since she was a child. In our hearts, this place is her mother's home."

"I should have come to visit you in person on the day I returned home last time, but due to work reasons, I had to return to the army in time."

"It is indeed my fault. You must accept these things today no matter what. Just consider it as making up for the favor I gave you last time."

Xu Manyue stepped forward and took hold of Second Aunt Xu's arm. "Second Aunt, Second Uncle, Jingming is right. In my heart, you have long been my biological parents."

"Just take these things."

Things had come to this point, and Uncle Xu and his wife looked at each other and had no choice but to accept it.

Although they were from the same team, they were not very familiar with Shen Jingming before Man Yue married into the Shen family.

One reason was that the other party had joined the army early and had not returned for many years. The other reason was that the Shen family’s reputation was so bad at the time that almost no one was willing to contact them.

Naturally, I don’t know much about the Shen family.

However, after the two of them took a closer look, they found that the man Manyue married was indeed a good-looking man with a tall and straight figure, handsome appearance, and superior temperament.

Most importantly, he looked good to Man Yue.

Now, they can finally feel relieved.

The two of them sat at Uncle Xu's house for a whole morning and chatted for a long time. The more they talked, the more satisfied Uncle Xu and his wife became with Shen Jingming.

I couldn't help but feel emotional. This substitutionary marriage, by some strange coincidence, actually gave Man Yue a good home.

If she had really married Lu Huaiyuan, she would probably have ended up like Xu Mingyue.

Aunt Xu started to go to the kitchen to cook lunch, and Xu Manyue followed her.

As expected, Aunt Xu took out the last bit of fine grains from the rice jar, and also took out the few corn flours in the house, and prepared to start cooking.

Xu Manyue's heart ached, and she hurried over to stop the other party, "Aunt, Jingming and I have already eaten and are about to go back. There is no need to prepare so much food."

Second Aunt Xu looked up at her and sighed, "You two just sat down not long ago, why are you going back? Aren't you afraid of adding burden to me and your second uncle?"

"If that's the case, you don't have to worry at all. We still have enough food at home."

"It's rare for you to come visit us together. We can't let you go back with empty stomachs."

After saying that, she lowered her head and was about to put the last bit of rice into the basin.

Xu Manyue reached out to stop her again and shook her head, "Auntie, you misunderstood. When we came here just now, we had dinner. Jingming will be busy later. If you cook, we won't have time to eat, so we have to go back."

"It's so hot now, if you cook too much rice it will go bad."

Aunt Xu was still a little unconvinced. "Man Yue, you wouldn't lie to me, would you?"

Why are you leaving after just one morning? Jingming is too busy. Will he not even have time to spend with his wife in the future?

Xu Manyue smiled helplessly, "Aunt, how could I lie to you? Jingming really has something to do. Not only him, but I have something to do too. I have to rush back as soon as possible."

She was not lying. She would be taking the recruitment exam for the commune primary school in a few days, so she had to study hard.

As for Shen Jingming, if she goes back, he will naturally go back with her.
