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

When Xu Manyue arrived at school, she did not tell Teacher Qian about Yang Erming's situation first.

He is old and his legs and feet are not very agile, so if he knew about this, he would definitely go and see it in person.

What if something goes wrong along the way?

When she rode her bike past Yang's house this morning, she didn't notice anything happening, which meant that the person must have survived and what he needed now was a good rest.

After class, Xu Manyue packed up her things and was about to pick up Shen Baozhu to go home together. Unexpectedly, when she turned around, she saw the old lady standing at the school gate, waving at her. As for the child, she was already holding her hand.

She walked over and asked, "Mom, why are you here?"

The commune was quite a distance away from their team, and it took a long time to walk there.

Judging from the old lady's personality, she definitely wouldn't come here to pick up a granddaughter, so there must be something wrong.

"Well, I... of course I came here for something, and I'm looking for you for something too."

The old lady pulled her to a deserted place and asked in a low voice.

"Third brother's wife, you have been working in the commune for more than ten days. Do you know the leaders of the commune, such as the director and deputy director?

"Mom has come here with a mission this time. It's a big mission for our Qingshan Brigade. You have to help me complete it."

Xu Manyue suddenly thought of something and looked straight at the old lady in front of her.

"Mom, tell me honestly, what exactly did you come to the commune for? After I told you about those things last night, did you turn around and go find the team leader?"

Otherwise, why would she come to the commune without saying a word?

The old lady was a little hesitant to meet Xu Manyue's eyes, and smiled awkwardly, "Don't worry, as long as you point me to someone, I will take care of the rest myself and won't cause you any trouble."

If they really have to rely on that old guy Hong Quan, it is estimated that their Qingshan Brigade will not know when they can get grain seeds.

If he doesn't dare to go up, then she will go up.

Anyway, she has lost face countless times, so she doesn't care about this. As long as she can continue to farm and work, she is willing to do anything.

Xu Manyue looked at her for a moment, "Mom, you're not here for the seeds, are you?"

Apart from this matter, she couldn't think of anything else, so she had to run to the commune to find the commune leaders.

Mentioning this, the old lady was so angry that she slapped her thigh and said, "Mom, I won't hide it from you. It's because of this matter."

"Third daughter-in-law, tell me, will you help me? If you don't, I will go and ask them one by one myself."

In her life, the highest leaders she had ever met were the brigade secretaries and captains. This was the first time she had gone beyond them to find a higher-ranking leader.

She was a little nervous, but she was not afraid at all. Instead, she was a little excited.

If it succeeds, Wang Wanhua will be a meritorious person of the entire Qingshan Brigade. Maybe when the crops are grown, the brigade will give her a certificate, a towel, and a water cup.

It says on it that labor is the most glorious!

Xu Manyue guessed that this was it, but after thinking about it carefully, she thought that maybe she could get some grain seeds by asking the leaders of the commune.

She only had corn seeds in her hand, but no other seeds at all, and even if she did, she had no legitimate reason to give them out.

Xu Manyue pulled the old lady aside and discussed a plan. She originally wanted to go with her, but the old lady wouldn't let her.

She said she was a teacher at the commune primary school and was young, so it was not convenient for her to come forward, and that this kind of thing had to be handled by her old wife.

So Xu Manyue had no choice but to compromise first. If the other party couldn't agree, she would go then.

"Mom, did you see that? The one walking in front is Secretary Huang from the commune."

"I see, I see. Third daughter-in-law, wait here. I'll go get you some seeds."

Before Xu Manyue could finish the rest of her words, the old lady rushed forward.

With red eyes and tears in her eyes, she ran to Secretary Huang and started crying.

"Leader, you have to make a decision for our fellow villagers. Farmers rely on the little food they grow in the fields all year round. Recently, famine has been so severe everywhere that we have no seeds left in the fields in our brigade."

"I, an old woman, really have no other choice but to come to you for help. You look so kind and you are a good leader for our people..."

The old lady specially changed into an old-fashioned double-breasted jacket with the most patches today. She was covered in dust and had piles of patches on it. Her hair was gray, her eyes were turbid, and her face was extremely pale.

At first glance, he was obviously a typical farmer, simple and pitiful, and immediately attracted the attention of several commune leaders who were just about to go to dinner.

Especially Secretary Huang, who was standing at the front, felt a pang in his heart when he heard the old lady flattering him, fearing that she was sent by his opponent to set a trap for him.

He quickly stood up, helped the man to a chair nearby, and asked someone to pour water.

"Old man, if you have anything to say, please take your time. If you have anything to say, don't worry. Drink some water first."

The old lady took the cup of water tremblingly, her eyes became redder and she cried even harder.

"I knew you were a good leader. You treat me, an old woman who was oppressed by the old commune for the first half of my life, so well. Our commune is blessed to have a leader like you."

When Secretary Huang heard the other party praising him, he finally felt relieved.

He took out the handkerchief he was carrying and handed it to the old lady, "Old lady, don't cry yet. If you have any problems, tell me and I will definitely solve them for you."

The old lady's tears fell down and she looked up at Secretary Huang, as if she saw a good leader who truly served the country and the people.

The emotion in her eyes was as endless as the Yellow River.

"Boss, I've never been to school and I can't read. I had a hard time when I was young. I was oppressed and exploited..."

"Now we live in a new society, and the sufferings of the past are finally over. I didn't cry on purpose today, but when I saw you, my leader, I felt a sense of closeness."

Secretary Huang couldn't help but smile, and his eyes became more gentle as he looked at the old lady.

He reassured, "Don't worry, old man. As long as you tell us your problem, our commune will definitely solve it for you. Serving the people is our obligation. Don't worry."

Director Liu standing by sighed inwardly, thinking that he had finally been taught a lesson by an old country lady today. Look at the way she spoke. No wonder he had been working in this position for so long without any change.

……

Not long after, Secretary Huang personally escorted the old lady out the door. Before she left, he stuffed a cornmeal steamed bun into her arms.

On the way home, the old lady told Xu Manyue and Shen Baozhu everything that had just happened, as if she were telling a story.

He successfully won the admiring looks and applause of the two people.

She raised her chin and laughed proudly, "So, I'm awesome, right?"

"Great, great." Xu Manyue laughed and clapped her hands.
