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

……

It was already late when I came out of the old lady's room.

Just as Xu Manyue was about to go back to the room, she saw Lin Luoxia standing at the door of her room, obviously waiting for her.

"Second sister-in-law."

She walked over and called out.

Lin Luoxia walked up to Xu Manyue and took up her hands. When she saw the scratches on them, a trace of guilt appeared on her face.

"Third sister-in-law, I'm sorry for you today. Did I hurt you?"

"It's all my fault. I was too worried about the child and accidentally hurt you."

She pulled Xu Manyue and looked her up and down again, "Except for the wound on your hand, you didn't fall anywhere else, did you?"

Xu Manyue pulled her hand back from Lin Luoxia's.

"Second sister-in-law, I know you are worried about the child."

"But I'm a little tired today, and it's getting late. I have to go to work tomorrow, so I won't talk to you any more. You should go back and rest first."

Upon hearing this, Lin Luoxia paused and said nothing more. She just smiled and said, "Okay, then I'll delay your rest."

After Xu Manyue returned to the room, she closed the door tightly and waited for the person outside to leave completely.

She turned around and began to check her transformation value, which currently totaled 8,677, the learning space that the system had given her before.

Because Xu Manyue brought some corn seeds to the brigade, the system determined that today the Shen family had changed their laziness and rolled up their sleeves to work, being more active than anyone else.

The renovation progress, which had not slowed down for a long time, has finally slowed down.

The system rewards five additional classes on breeding techniques, covering chickens, ducks, fish, geese, and some poultry such as pigs.

Xu Manyue can choose one of the breeding goals and study the course in the system learning space.

This can be considered a transformation of the host's abilities.

After seeing the reward clearly, Xu Manyue couldn't help but get excited.

In this era of food and clothing shortages, animal husbandry technology is definitely a skill to make a living. No matter where you go, you will never starve as long as you have the technology.

After two years when the famine is over and the brigade has surplus grain, they can use this breeding technology to build factories and make the brigade rich, and the Shen family's life will get better and better.

Xu Manyue thought for a moment and finally chose pig farming technology.

Although the pig farming cycle is long, most people will be short of oil and water for a long time now and in the future, and pork will be in short supply, so the returns from pig farming are higher.

Of course, there is another reason, that is, pig farming technology requires the most transformation value, so it is more cost-effective to choose it.

After selecting the course, Xu Manyue will enter the study space and start studying starting tonight, for three hours every night.

After entering the system, before Xu Manyue could react, a flash of white light passed by.

In front of her appeared an old man and a group of piglets that had just been born.

The old man looked up at her, opened the book in his hand, and started the first three-hour class by combining theory with practice.

……

When the class ended, it was almost eleven o'clock in the evening. Although she was tired, Xu Manyue looked at her notebook full of notes and the knowledge she had learned that day.

She felt extremely fulfilled, as if she had finally found a direction and goal.

Today, with the help of her teacher, she personally delivered a piglet and provided postpartum care to the sow.

Three hours outside, three days inside the space.

She did learn a lot of useful knowledge.

After Xu Manyue came out of the system space, she did not go to sleep first, but consolidated the knowledge she had learned today before going to rest.

Early the next morning, the morning sun filtered through the window and poured into the house.

I slept a little late last night, and when Xu Manyue woke up, the other members of the Shen family had already gotten up.

They wore straw hats and carried kettles filled with water. They were all enthusiastic and ready to go to work after breakfast.

In this year of famine, nothing is more important than food.

Yesterday, on the first day of work, no one, young or old, was slacking off. Almost everyone put their energy into the fields, waiting to grow crops so that they would no longer starve to death.

Xu Manyue got up and made the bed. Just as she pushed the door open and walked out, Lin Luoxia brought Shen Baozhu and stood at her door. She smiled and said, "Third sister-in-law, please take Baozhu to school today."

"But there's no rush now. Let's eat first. I got up early this morning and cooked. Seeing that you were still up, I came to call you."

After saying that, she came over and called for Lashman.

Xu Manyue avoided her hand and said, "Second sister-in-law, I haven't washed up yet. You guys go eat first, I'll come over later."

Lin Luoxia's hand froze in mid-air. She paused for a moment, then calmly withdrew her hand.

"Is that so? Then go wash up first, your third sister-in-law. I'll keep your rations for you."

Xu Manyue nodded and was about to walk around her to wash up.

Suddenly, Lin Luoxia spoke again, "Third sister-in-law, thank you for speaking for Baozhu yesterday."

She didn't know why she lost her mind yesterday and pushed this man to the ground.

If the child's father hadn't reminded her, she would have almost forgotten about it.

Xu Manyue paused, "Second sister-in-law, you are being too formal. We are all family, there is no need to say thank you or not."

"Baozhu is also my niece."

Actually, it can’t be considered as helping. The old lady was just too angry last night.

She is usually kind-hearted but harsh in her words towards her family members. If conditions permit, she would definitely let Shen Baozhu go to school.

Even if she pleaded for Shen Baozhu, it would only be to give the old lady a way out.

Hearing the other party say this, Lin Luoxia's heart finally let go of a lot, and the faint smile on her face became more sincere.

"Your sister-in-law is right. We are all family. I was really sorry when your sister-in-law pushed you accidentally yesterday."

"I happen to have a piece of cloth. When I have some free time, I'll make you a piece of clothing as an apology."

Xu Manyue shook her head. "Second sister-in-law, you don't need clothes. Cloth coupons are so hard to come by these days, and you can't save much in a year. You should save them to make clothes for the children."

She didn't need the cloth, and she really didn't want to get too involved with this person. It wasn't worth it anyway.

But Lin Luoxia still insisted, "It's okay, the children's clothes can be altered with old adult clothes, so you can accept it, sister-in-law."

……

After dinner, the old lady led the Shen family to go to work again.

Others were exhausted after a day's work, but the old lady became more energetic as she worked. Before leaving, she wanted to avoid what happened yesterday from happening again.

She looked at Shen Baozhu and said, "Damn girl, please don't burn the kitchen again. Last night, your father and mother worked until almost midnight to clean up the mess you made."

"If you cause trouble again, I won't even give you food, let alone studying."

"I know...I know, grandma."

Shen Baozhu was so frightened that her face turned pale and she quickly hid behind Lin Luoxia. Lin Luoxia held her daughter's hand and comforted her with heartache.

Her behavior yesterday had already angered her mother-in-law. If she continued to make excuses for the child today, she might make things worse.

"Baozhu, if you don't know how to do housework at home, just ask your sister Qingqing, or find your aunt. Remember, don't cause any trouble."
