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

Xu Manyue stood in line in the cafeteria with her bowl in hand. After waiting for most of the day, it was finally her turn.

What I ate today was still half a bowl of wild vegetable porridge mixed with some sweet potato chunks and corn grits.

She took the prepared drink, walked to the side, and drank it all in a short while.

At this time, a skinny and sallow child came over, stared at the bowl in her hand without moving his eyes, and licked his cracked lips.

My stomach growled.

Xu Manyue was slightly stunned, said nothing, turned around and was about to leave.

She can't even fill her own stomach now, so how can she care about others?

When she marries into the Shen family tomorrow, she still doesn’t know what will happen, so she’d better take care of herself.

The next second, the child grabbed her clothes and looked at her timidly with his head tilted up.

"Man...Man Yue sister, can you let me lick your bowl?"

"Just one lick, please."

In addition to this child, there were several barefoot and ragged children not far away looking in this direction.

Xu Manyue stopped, looked at the children, and without saying a word, she raised her head and licked the residue on the bottom of the bowl clean without leaving a single drop. It was no different from washing it with water.

"Sorry, I can't."

After saying this, she turned and left.

The child really didn't expect her to be like this. He was stunned and subconsciously looked at the woman standing in the corner with her big belly.

The woman saw the whole scene and sighed helplessly when she saw that her child didn't get any food.

She came over with the freshly made wild vegetable porridge and fed the child three or two mouthfuls of it with a spoon. Then she stopped and touched his head.

"The rest are for you to give to your father. Your father is the labor force of the family and needs physical strength."

"Only if your father is strong can our family be well, do you understand?"

The child nodded silently. His mother, who was pregnant with his younger siblings, only ate a few mouthfuls of porridge. His grandparents did the same. Only his father could eat more at home.

He understands.

The woman touched the child's face with some heartache, and then touched her slightly bulging belly. For a moment, her nose felt sore and her eyes were slightly red.

Xu Manyue did not walk far, but walked to a corner and watched this scene.

The family needs labor to earn work points. Only with work points can there be food, and the family can survive.

Every household does this, and most of the family's food rations are first given to young and strong men, followed by the elderly and children.

If I remember correctly, in his previous life, this child named Goudan would starve to death in his own bed one night a few days later.

When his family got off work the next day, they discovered that his body had already gone cold.

Goudan's mother couldn't accept it for a moment and had a miscarriage on the spot, resulting in two deaths.

Xu Manyue sighed. Some things cannot be changed just by knowing them in advance.

Just like this great famine, humans are always powerless in the face of nature. Even if she gave all her rations to Goudan today, she couldn't save him forever.

All she can do is take care of herself.

On the way home, I saw several old people with pale faces, sunken cheeks lying on the roadside from time to time.

Some of them had pale faces, some were swollen all over, and some were only hanging on by a few breaths.

Xu Manyue felt depressed. She quickened her pace, not looking or thinking.

She quickly returned to her shabby thatched hut, closed the door, climbed onto the bed, hugged her hands tightly to her chest, and curled up into a ball.

The evening wind blew in through the broken hole in the thatched hut, so cold that it made people feel chilled all over.

half an hour.

Xu Manyue's mood finally calmed down. She patted her face and her mind became clearer.

There are some things that she cannot change.

During this great famine, not only the elderly, but even she was not much better off.

Xu Manyue touched her sunken cheeks. It was obvious that her face was sallow, her body was shriveled, and her hair was as thin as the dead grass on the roadside.

The clothes he was wearing were gray, loose and had a series of patches on them.

Compared to Xu Mingyue, who was carefully cared for by the Xu family, she looked like a beggar and was indeed unpleasant.

The only thing she could do was to try her best to survive this famine.

Thinking about marrying into the Shen family tomorrow.

Xu Manyue opened the system mall again, looking at the white rice, the fragrant meat buns, the soft and delicious braised pork... and then looked at the balance with a transformation value of zero.

And then I heard my stomach growling.

She fell silent.

There is no transformation value, you can only look at it, not eat it.

Xu Manyue touched her shriveled belly and sighed again.

When she has enough transformation value, she will definitely eat a big meat bun.

At this time, there was a knock on the door, "Man Yue, the captain is here."

Xu Manyue glanced towards the door and got up from the bed.

Today is the night before her wedding, and according to the agreement, it is also the time for her to sever ties with the Xu family.

Walking over and opening the door, Tian Lanfang stood at the door and opened her mouth. She couldn't help but stepped forward to pull Xu Manyue's hand, "Manyue, please don't sign it. Don't make such a fuss with your family."

"If you get bullied by your husband's family in the future and lose your natal family, who will support you and make decisions for you?"

In a woman's life, the only people she can rely on are her parents and her husband.

Shen Jingming is far away in the army and has not come back for several years. Even at this wedding, he probably won't show up.

The Shen family is not a good family. If she marries into the Shen family after her full moon, she will definitely be bullied. No one will take care of her, and the Shen family will bully her as much as they want.

Xu Manyue rolled her eyes and pulled her hand away. "When I didn't break off relations with you, you were still protecting outsiders and forcing me, your own daughter."

"Having relatives like this makes no difference. No, it's even more disgusting to have them."

"No matter what happens in the future, I will never regret it."

After saying this, Xu Manyue strode forward.

Who says that a woman will never be bullied because she has a mother's family? Sometimes, the ones who bully her the most are her mother's family.

Instead of relying on others, it is better to rely on yourself.

Tian Lanfang stared at her back blankly, feeling very confused.

It was obvious that this result was caused by their entire family, but why did they vaguely feel regretful?

No, that wouldn't happen. Manyue is her own daughter, the result of her ten months of pregnancy. She would not abandon them.

Tian Lanfang comforted herself as she followed.

In fact, the place where Xu Manyue lives is not the same as where other members of the Xu family live.

The shabby thatched hut she lived in was originally used to store miscellaneous items. It would take several minutes to walk to the Xu family's yard.

They are not far away, but they don’t look like a family at all.

When Xu Manyue pushed the door and entered the Xu family's yard, the team leader had already arrived, and Old Man Xu and Old Lady Xu were also sitting beside them.

Except for Uncle Xu and his family, everyone else in the Xu family was there, including Xu Mingyue.

Xu Mingyue saw her come in, went into the room, brought out a stool and handed it to her. In a voice that only the two of them could hear, she smiled and said, "Cousin, happy wedding, I wish you all your wishes come true."

Xu Manyue didn't even look at her, and walked directly to the captain, "Uncle Yang, thank you for your help tonight."

The team leader had been busy all day dealing with the incident last night where someone went up the mountain to steal water and accidentally fell to his death.

After much difficulty, we found out that it was someone from the neighboring brigade, and then we talked to the brigade leader of the neighboring brigade to resolve the matter.

Before I could even go home and rest for a few minutes, I was called to Xu's house again, and it was still the same confusing household chores.

For a moment, he had a severe headache and was in a bad mood.

Facing Xu Manyue's words, the captain waved his hand and said, "Alright, alright, as long as you don't regret it, it's fine. As long as you don't regret it, I will help you solve the problem immediately. Go back and rest early."

He has to go to a meeting at the commune tomorrow. The well up the mountain is almost dry, so he has to lead people to find a new water source.
