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

Xu Manyue also felt that this was not a good idea. Studying is indeed a big deal for children and cannot be delayed.

Any punishment is fine, but this one is too severe.

She walked over and said to the old lady, "Mom, Baozhu usually studies very hard in class. She also likes to read when she gets home. If she doesn't catch up with the course for a while and misses out on her studies, what should we do? We should let her go to class."

"As for the housework, I'll do it with her after we get back from school together."

The Shen family actually doesn’t have much housework to do. They just cook in a big pot, and since there aren’t many dishes, it doesn’t take much effort.

The old lady glanced at Shen Baozhu and sneered, "Since it was Third Aunt who pleaded for you, let's forget about today's matter for now."

"But, if you can't even light a fire next time, there's no point in reading this book anymore. And one more thing, if I find out again that you're giving away your family's food rations to people outside, don't blame me for being cruel."

After saying this, she raised her hand to press her sore temples and placed her hand on Xu Manyue.

"Third daughter-in-law, help me into the house to rest."

Xu Manyue nodded and helped the old lady into the house.

Once inside, the door was closed.

The old lady sat by the bed and looked at Xu Manyue's belly for a moment. "Do you know why I let you in?"

Xu Manyue pursed her lips and said, "I guessed a little."

She didn't know it at first, but when the other person looked at her belly, how could she not notice something?

The old lady sighed, "You are different from your second sister-in-law. Your man is fighting hard on the battlefield. If you are not careful, you will lose your life."

"You've been married for over a year, and you still don't have a child. I wonder if you've been pregnant in the month that Jingming has been home."

"Why didn't Mom let you work? It's not because you're a teacher in the commune. Teachers still go to work after get off work."

"The reason I didn't let you go to work is because I was worried you might be pregnant. If something happened to Jingming outside, it would be good to keep a child."

The old lady changed her tone and continued, "As for Baozhu's disappearance, that's the business of the second son and his wife. It's their fault for not raising their daughter well. It's not your turn to worry about them."

"Look at you. You've been running around looking for her today, sweating all over. If you're already pregnant and something happens because of this, how will I explain this to Jingming when he comes back?"

Xu Manyue suddenly thought of the time when Lin Luoxia pushed her today. Her heart tightened and she subconsciously touched her belly.

It has only been a month since Shen Jingming left, so even if she was pregnant, she wouldn't be able to feel it.

But if it really is, something might happen if Lin Luoxia pushed her like that.

Seeing her like this, the old lady knew that she was afraid and couldn't bear to say anything more to her.

"Alright, alright, you better be careful with your belly from now on. If you're pregnant, you'll regret it if something goes wrong."

"As for your second sister-in-law, she's very calculating and scheming. You should have less contact with Baozhu in the future and don't let her develop any inappropriate thoughts."

Xu Manyue was a little surprised, "Mom..."

Lin Luoxia's performance didn't seem obvious, but the child's performance was very obvious. Although Baozhu liked her aunt before, she would not often get close to her, and she would stay with Lin Luoxia more often.

But gradually, Shen Baozhu would go to see her almost every day. At first, it was nothing, until one day she let it slip, and then she knew what Lin Luoxia was thinking.

From then on, she was not as fond of Shen Baozhu as before.

The old lady rolled her eyes at her and said, "Your second sister-in-law has been married here for eight or nine years. How could I not know her personality?"

"She wasn't the daughter-in-law I chose. If the second son hadn't insisted on marrying her, she definitely wouldn't have been able to enter the Shen family."

"Why do you think your second brother hasn't had a son in all these years? It's because she doesn't want one, and she keeps using tricks to delay it."

"Just wait and see. The second brother still has some feelings for her now. Once these feelings are gone, if the second brother finds another woman and has a son, she will definitely regret it."

Her second child has been staying out all night these past few days, and no one knows which widow he is pregnant with. If this continues, it is not impossible for him to have a baby.

Xu Manyue thought about what happened in the mornings these few days. No wonder Widow Chen greeted her when she got off work yesterday and casually mentioned Lin Luoxia. It seemed that Shen Lao Er had stayed at her place many nights these few days.

Normally, Shen Lao Er seemed to be nice to Lin Luoxia, but this man was just like that.

The old lady glanced at her and sighed, "Your second sister-in-law is well aware of this. She knew what kind of person the second son was from the day she married into the family. Our whole family pretended to be ignorant, and you too, don't reveal any flaws in front of your second sister-in-law."

"Life is short, and you can't have everything you want. Your second sister-in-law didn't suffer much by marrying into our family."

Xu Manyue nodded.

Lin Luoxia is pretty, but she comes from a poor family.

Before liberation, she would actually be considered a daughter of a small landlord.

However, the Lin family fell into decline early on, and with a stepmother and a stepfather, she was not favored since she was a child.

Because of her gambling-addicted father, the Lin family had long since fallen from being a small landlord with some money to a poor man who loved drinking, fighting, and gambling.

Therefore, basically few people remember Lin Luoxia's past life experience.

However, after this great famine is over and that special period arrives, it is estimated that her life experience will most likely be revealed.

In addition, Shen Lao Er had unclear relationships with many widows. If this couple were together in that turbulent period, there would be no telling how much potential trouble they would have encountered.

Xu Manyue pursed her lips. The greater the difficulty, the higher the reward and the richer the return. No wonder the best choice given by the system was to transform the Shen family.

If you are not careful about the issue of class background, your whole family may be criticized.

Although the Shen family has Shen Jingming, a soldier, and is a lower-middle-class poor peasant, the basic information provided by the system still revealed that Lin Luoxia had a background problem in her previous life and was almost paraded through the streets and criticized.
