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

"Sister Man Yue, thank you for your help last time."

"If it weren't for you, I might have died in this shabby house. You and Uncle Hong are my benefactors, and I will remember your kindness."

How could Xu Manyue accept his eggs, so she quickly pushed the thing in her hand back.

"I appreciate the kindness, but you can take the eggs back. Your grandma is old and needs more nutrition."

The Yang family raised two chickens. The eggs laid by the two chickens every day were basically the family's source of income. Even if they were starving, they would never think of taking the two chickens.

How could Xu Manyue accept these two eggs?

But Yang Erming insisted on forcing it on her, "Sister Manyue, you are not the only one who has these eggs. Uncle Hong also has some, and he accepted them all. If you don't accept them, how can this be possible?"

"My grandmother is there. I will definitely take good care of her. Don't worry."

After saying that, he stuffed two eggs into Xu Manyue's pocket, leaned on his crutches, and ran in the opposite direction.

It’s true, although one of his legs was injured, he ran very fast and disappeared in a short while.

Xu Manyue had no choice but to accept the eggs and then took Shen Baozhu back to the Shen family.

When the two arrived home, Shen Qingqing was feeding hay to the rabbits they raised at home. She was very happy to see Xu Manyue come back.

But when she saw Shen Baozhu, the smile on her face faded.

Shen Baozhu bit her lip, mustered up the courage to walk over, and took Shen Qingqing's hand. "Sister Qingqing, I'm sorry for causing you to get hurt and scolded yesterday."

Shen Qingqing pulled her hand away without saying anything.

Xu Manyue ignored the two of them. After returning to the Shen family, she went to the old lady's room, took out the food needed for today's cooking, and started cooking for the whole family.

Since everyone has been working recently, the cornmeal porridge that the Shen family eats these days is much thicker than before in order to give everyone the strength to work.

But I don’t need to work at night, so it’s fine as long as it’s not much different from before.

Shen Qingqing ran to Xu Manyue and started helping her. Shen Baozhu also followed and helped wash the vegetables.

The three of them divided the work and cooperated in an orderly manner. Before long, today's dinner was ready.

However, the Shen family had not yet finished work, so Xu Manyue placed the prepared meals on the stove to keep them warm.

She explained some more to Shen Qingqing, then went back to the room to review the breeding techniques she had learned last night.

Learning is a long process, and she devotes her energy to it whenever she has time.

Not long after, voices were heard in the yard.

The Shen family came home from work, and they were very enthusiastic compared to yesterday.

Today they were all sitting together, pursing their lips, and seemed to be in a bad mood. They didn't talk and the atmosphere was very depressing.

Even eating is boring.

Shen Qingqing knocked on the door and asked Xu Manyue to go out for dinner. As soon as Xu Manyue sat down, she noticed this.

Shen Jianping is a person who can't hide things. When he saw Xu Manyue coming, he couldn't help but complain.

"Third sister-in-law, you didn't go to work, so you didn't know that someone in our team actually stole the soybean seeds we were going to plant tomorrow."

"Everything else is fine, but these are the seeds that Mom worked so hard to get from the commune. Now the seeds are gone. What are we going to plant and eat?"

Because of this, they were originally scheduled to leave work in a while, but now they have to leave work early.

The team leader was also very worried. There were less than ten kilograms of corn seeds in the team. He had originally wanted to plant some soybeans so that everyone could survive this famine year, but now there were no soybean seeds left.

Xu Manyue was stunned after hearing this. Looking at everyone in the Shen family, who were all in a very depressed mood, she couldn't help but ask.

"We just distributed relief food a few days ago. It's not much, but if we eat it sparingly, it can last for a while. How could someone steal the seeds?"

The old lady slammed the table and threw her chopsticks onto the table.

"Why else could it be? A starving ghost is reincarnated and wants to eat everything he encounters. Why didn't he starve to death during this famine? Now, he actually dares to eat the seeds that I worked so hard to get."

"No, no, I can't bear this. I have to give him a good beating today."

"Stop eating, and follow me."

The old lady waved her hand and rushed out of the house.

Boss Shen and Second Boss Shen looked at each other, put down their bowls and chopsticks, and chased after him.

According to the old lady, the person who stole the seeds was the same person who stole the seeds from the warehouse last year. His name was Liu Laoer.

Before the famine, he was considered the most honest person by everyone.

But later no one expected that he was the first person to come up with the idea of stealing the seeds in the warehouse.

But few people blamed him because everyone was starving and had their eyes on the seeds in the warehouse.

But now that he has relief food, no one would have thought that he would do such a thing again.

All the men in the family left, and Mrs. Shen pulled Xu Manyue to follow, "Let's go and take a look, don't let mother suffer any loss."

Almost everyone in the family had left, so Lin Luoxia naturally couldn't sit there any longer. She explained something to Shen Baozhu and turned around to catch up.

So only Shen Qingqing and Shen Baozhu were left in the Shen family, and everyone else went to Liu Laoer's house.

On the road.

Mrs. Shen pulled Xu Manyue forward quickly and told her what happened today.

"Third sister-in-law, it's no wonder that mother is angry. Those seeds were obtained with great difficulty by mother. The team leader said that mother deserves credit for obtaining the seeds, and when the crops are grown, he will give more to our family."

"But now, the seeds have been eaten before they've even been planted. Who wouldn't be angry?"

Xu Manyue pursed her lips and asked, "Sister-in-law, how did the captain deal with this matter?"

"What else can we do? Liu Lao Er refuses to admit that he did it, and we don't have any evidence. The team leader can't do anything about him. We can only let everyone go for the time being."

"But if it wasn't him, who else could it be? The captain knows it, but he just hasn't found any evidence."

Listening to Wang Zhaodi's gnashing curses, Xu Manyue did not jump to conclusions. She just listened quietly and analyzed the whole thing.

Liu Laoer was indeed capable of doing something like stealing seeds from the brigade, but no one had any evidence, so it was hard to say whether he was right or not.

If he didn't do it, then the old lady must have hit the wrong person when she came to her house today.

Thinking of this, Xu Manyue thought for a moment and said, "Sister-in-law, you go find mother first. I'll go find the captain to ask about the situation. If this is really done by Liu Laoer, it would be more appropriate for the captain to come forward."

After all, seeds are the collective property of the brigade and are not a small problem.

Before Mrs. Shen could react, Xu Manyue had already run to the Hong family.

Lin Luoxia caught up and saw this scene. She walked to the side of Sister Shen and asked, "Sister, what is Third Sister-in-law doing?"

Considering that the two had a fight a few days ago, Mrs. Shen originally didn't want to bother with her.

But Lin Luoxia brought up the previous incident in just a few words, and the two of them became as discordant as before.

Mrs. Shen's expression brightened slightly. "My third sister-in-law has gone to find the captain. Let's go find mother and the others first. Don't let them suffer any loss."

Although it would probably take only my mother's help to deal with Liu Lao Er, but there is strength in numbers, and the Shen family cannot lose in this regard.
