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

The substitute marriage has been decided to avoid any further complications.

When the Shen family came to discuss the date, the Xu family had already chosen the time and prepared the things for Xu Manyue.

During these days, while Xu Manyue was working, she secretly reminded her second uncle Xu and his family to prepare for the upcoming disbanding of the collective canteen.

There are some things that she cannot say openly and can only remind people secretly. Fortunately, Uncle Xu is a smart man and has already started preparing secretly.

at night.

Tian Lanfang went to Xu Manyue's bed, took out a small dusty handkerchief from her body, opened it, and counted the money inside one by one.

After making sure the amount was correct, he rewrapped the money and handed it to Xu Manyue.

"The Shen family came to discuss the wedding today, and the date is set for the day after tomorrow. The wardrobe, boxes, quilts and other dowries you requested have been prepared. The day after tomorrow is the day you marry into the Shen family."

"This is the agreed-upon twenty yuan dowry. Mingyue originally wanted to give it to you personally, but she hasn't been feeling well these past few days, so please ask me to pass it on to you."

Xu Manyue took the cloth wrapped in the money, opened it, and counted it several times in front of Tian Lanfang.

Well, the quantity is fine.

She raised an eyebrow, looked at the person who was still standing there, and asked, "Anything else?"

Tian Lanfang was a little complicated. "Man Yue, do you really have to sign the letter of severance?"

"Even if...even if mother can't bear to let you go and doesn't want you to sign, do you still have to sign?"

Xu Manyue didn't even look at her, and put the twenty yuan in her pocket. "You made your choice, and I made my choice too. Now there's no room for regret."

"I won't regret the decision I made."

Tian Lanfang opened her mouth and looked at Xu Manyue for a long time before she spoke, "Manyue, you are my biological daughter, and this will never change."

After saying that, she left.

In a blink of an eye, it was the day before the wedding.

Xu Manyue was still working. After a few days of hard work, the seeds in the western fields were finally planted.

Under the leadership of the team leader, the young and strong members of the team finally carried water from the hillside for several days and managed to irrigate the fields.

After watering the fields, no matter how tired everyone was, they felt hopeful about the future and were in better spirits.

Ever since she made things clear with the Xu family, Xu Manyue has been working with Uncle Xu and the others these days.

On the way to work.

Aunt Xu walked up to Xu Manyue and secretly put an egg and something wrapped in cloth into her hands.

"Second Aunt, I can't take this."

Xu Manyue touched the thing in her hand and guessed what it was. Her eyes couldn't help but turn slightly red, and she quickly put the thing back.

These days, no one is rich, especially farmers, who work hard in the fields all year and can hardly save any money.

When the Xu family split up, my second uncle and his family had basically nothing. Besides, my second uncle's two cousins were also old enough to get married, so how could she take their money?

Uncle Xu, who was standing by, quickly pushed the money and the egg back and said, "Man Yue, you're getting married tomorrow. Take this little money. It's a wedding gift from your uncle and aunt."

"It's the one-month-old gift from your parents, so just take it. It's at least a token of your appreciation." The two brothers Xu Jianshe and Xu Weiguo also came over and advised.

They really didn't understand what Xu Xiangyang and Xu Xiangbei were thinking.

For the sake of his third uncle's cousin, he actually sacrificed his own sister and even agreed to marry her off after the full moon.

You know, Man Yue is their biological sister who grew up with them.

Even their two cousins couldn't stand the practice of substitutional marriage.

Second Aunt Xu smiled and touched her hand. "Man Yue, take this. We've already prepared the money for your two brothers' weddings. This is for you. They both know it, and they were afraid that we wouldn't get enough, so they added some of their own savings."

Since things could not be changed, they could only give her some money and let her keep it with her so that she would have a way out even if she encountered any problems at the Shen family.

"Thank you, second uncle, thank you, second aunt, thank you, second brother, and third brother." Xu Manyue couldn't refuse, so she finally accepted it.

Arrived in the field.

Old Man Xu and Xu Shanping had arrived a long time ago.

When they saw Xu Manyue coming with Uncle Xu and his family, their faces instantly turned ugly.

There were already a few aunts and grandmas around who noticed the problem and stood aside, whispering about it.

"Why has Man Yue been hanging out with Xu Lao Er's family recently? Could it be because of Ming Yue's marriage to the Shen family?"

"You guessed it, I heard that the person who married into the Shen family now is Man Yue. The Shen family is not a good family, and I don't know what the Xu family thinks."

"No wonder Man Yue is unwilling to work with them now. I wouldn't want to either."

"But didn't Man Yue already have an engagement with Huai Yuan? Why did they suddenly change it? Did the Lu family also agree?"

"Oh, who knows? After this happened, no one from the Lu family or the Shen family stood up to object. Either both sides didn't know about it, or everyone has already acquiesced."

"But in my opinion, the Lu family can't possibly know nothing. I noticed something was amiss between Lu Huaiyuan and Xu Mingyue before."

"If you ask me, I think the Xu family is thinking of exchanging brides, and the Lu family acquiesced. As for whether the Shen family knows about it, I have no idea."

"They must have known about it. Otherwise, with such a big thing as marriage, the Shen family hasn't made any noise. I guess they just tacitly agreed."

……

While the Xu family was working, they listened to the people around them whispering about them, and their faces became even uglier.

I couldn't help but blame Xu Manyue in my heart.

If she hadn't gone to the second house every day, how could they have ended up like this?

Xu Manyue also noticed the people around her staring at her and probably guessed what was going on.

She was minding her own business, as if she hadn't heard anything.

In a blink of an eye, most of the day passed.

It's time to get down to work.

Xu Manyue wiped the sweat off her face, not caring about being tired. She turned around to return her work tools and followed Uncle Xu's family to the cafeteria to get food.

Now, for her, daily meals are the most important thing.

The system is not usable yet and the items in it cannot be purchased. She can only rely on the meals in the collective cafeteria every day and barely get enough to eat.

In her previous life, she was starved to death, so naturally she didn't want to be starved to death a second time.
