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

Xu Manyue thought that it was a good idea to let Hong Quan be the team leader.

The old lady became more and more excited and kept talking to her.

"Tell me in detail what you are planning. If I can help you, you can save some effort."

Xu Manyue thought about it and felt that there was nothing she couldn’t say.

As for helping, there was one thing. "Mom, Erming from our team is a student in my class. He hasn't been going to class for a few days. Today, I went to his house and saw that he had injured his calf while going up the mountain with a trap. He's been holding on and didn't dare tell his grandma."

"It's still uncertain whether he's alive or dead. I treated his wounds and asked the captain to look after him. I have to go to school tomorrow morning, so I might need you to go over and check on him."

The old lady understood and said, "Don't worry, leave it to me."

If the person is still alive, everyone will be happy; if the person is dead, Mrs. Yang will definitely not be able to bear it, and someone must go and check.

But the child is also pitiful. His parents died long ago, and now there is only a blind old woman left, and he and his sister and two others depend on each other for survival.

She remembered that his sister was only one or two years older than Baozhu.

Early the next morning.

After Xu Manyue went out to work, the old lady woke up. Thinking about what she said last night, she took a basket with a few sweet potatoes in it and went out to Yang's house.

Just arrived at the door of Yang's house.

I didn't hear any movement inside.

The old lady breathed a sigh of relief and went to the dilapidated house next door, intending to see how Erming was doing.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he walked in, he ran into the unshaven Hong Quan who came out from inside.

"How is Erming? Is he okay?" she walked up and asked.

Early in the morning, Hong Quan was frightened by the old man who suddenly ran up to him. When he saw who it was, he patted his chest and breathed a sigh of relief.

"Sister-in-law, why are you here? Did Man Yue tell you?"

As soon as the old lady saw the man's expression, she knew that Er Ming must be fine, otherwise he would have started looking for someone to come over long ago.

So he quickly took out the sweet potatoes he was holding and said, "Look at you, you must be fine. I also brought a few sweet potatoes to fill the stomachs of the brother and sister."

The Shen family didn’t have anything else, but they could barely afford sweet potatoes.

Looking at the three sweet potatoes, Hong Quan gave her a surprised look and said, "Sister-in-law, this is not like you. Are you planning something?"

A widow who can raise so many children cannot be a simple person. In the past few years, she has taken advantage of the collective a lot.

Like secretly hiding a few ears of wheat, secretly taking a few sweet potatoes when digging, or openly crying poor and pitiful, saying that she has a miserable life.

Especially when they were eating from the same pot, every household was asked to hand over grain, but the Shen family only handed over a small amount. The people in charge of the team before knew that the Shen family might have hidden grain.

However, this old lady and the sons of the Shen family were not easy to deal with, and she had indeed had a hard life when she was young, so she turned a blind eye.

Expecting this old lady to give something to outsiders is harder than climbing to the sky.

"Look at what you said. I just felt sorry for these two children, so I brought some food to take a look."

The old lady was still smiling, but her tone had obviously changed. "But, I do have something to ask you."

She pulled him into the house and leaned close to Hong Quan's ear, "Are you and Accountant Guo planning to go back to work?"

Hong Quan sighed and said, "I would like to go to work, but I don't have seeds, the land is not dry, and there is no water for irrigation. How can I grow food?"

The old lady glared at him fiercely. "You're stupid! We still have the commune leaders. They can't just sit there and watch us starve to death. If you go to the commune and cry, make a scene, or even threaten to hang yourself, you'll do whatever you want."

"You are a captain after all. If you make such a fuss, they will definitely take action against our team."

"Is your face more important, or the lives of our fellow villagers?"

Hong Quan's face turned red and he didn't know what to say for a moment, so he could only explain it euphemistically.

"Sister-in-law, this is not the way to do things. You women's ways should not be applied to official business."

After all, he is a man in his forties with grandchildren. If he really goes to the commune to learn the ways of these women, he will be laughed to death.

Besides, things are not so easy to solve.

The old lady rolled her eyes and looked him up and down. "Alright, alright, if you don't go, I will. I just came to tell you that when I go somewhere, just say I went to the commune in the name of the brigade to apply for seeds."

"If anyone asks, don't betray me in front of outsiders."

Hong Quan was so frightened that he quickly pulled the person back. "No, wait, sister-in-law, you really dare to go there? Do you know where the commune office is? Do you know who the leaders of the commune are? No, you'd better not go. I'll go. I'll go."

If something goes wrong, the commune will have an even worse opinion of their Qingshan Brigade, and they probably won't get anything.

The old lady was a very impetuous person when she was young. She hated to see a grown man procrastinating and not being able to get anything done.

So she threw him away and said, "Why are you going? You men's face is valuable, but an old woman like me has no face. For the sake of our fellow villagers, I am willing to let others trample on my face."

"If you really didn't come, it would be an embarrassment to me, an old woman, and it has nothing to do with you."

"Just wait at home."

Hong Quan was quite touched, but he always felt that the other party looked down on him in some way.

But if you can get the seeds, then just ignore it.

Before leaving, the old lady put the sweet potatoes she brought next to Yang Erming. After seeing that his condition had improved, she felt a little relieved.

After all, he is her daughter-in-law's student and a child she has watched grow up. She is happy that he is alive.

Seeing that the old lady really went to the commune, Hong Quan was still afraid that something might happen, so he ran to Guo Dashan to discuss countermeasures.

Now, among the village cadres of Qingshan Brigade, there are only two of them in charge.

After listening to this, Guo Dashan smoked his pipe and was silent for a moment. "Why don't we just pretend we don't know about this?"

"If the higher-ups ask about it, you just have to adapt to the situation."

He had seen the old woman's fighting ability. Not only was she very stubborn, but she was also very good at talking.

She was suffering from class exploitation, and she was bullying others by taking advantage of her power, bullying her poor soul... In short, no one in the entire Qingshan Brigade could control her.
