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

When Xu Manyue ran to the Hong family, it was already dark and the Hong family was having dinner.

Aunt Yunxiang opened the door for her, but her expression looked a little unhappy.

"Are you here to see your Uncle Hong?"

Ever since her husband became the team leader last year, she has not enjoyed any benefits at all. Instead, there are a lot of things to do, and her husband looks much older than before.

If you ask her, it doesn't matter if she is not the captain.

Xu Manyue nodded, "Auntie, is Uncle Hong home?"

Aunt Yunxiang stepped aside to let her in. "He's eating inside. What do you want from him?"

When Xu Manyue heard that the other party was eating, she took her foot back when she was about to step into the house.

"Auntie, you guys have dinner, I'll go back first."

Nowadays, no one is rich, and it is taboo to have someone come to the house when eating, no matter how good the relationship is.

It seems that this is the only way to deal with this matter.

Aunt Yunxiang's complexion looked a little better, but she said nothing and just closed the door.

Xu Manyue had just taken a few steps when suddenly, the door opened again.

Hong Quan pushed Aunt Yunxiang away and strode out.

"Man Yue, why are you here? Come in quickly. Have you eaten? If not, I'll ask your aunt to add a pair of chopsticks. Sit down and eat together."

Upon hearing this, before Xu Manyue could say anything, Aunt Yunxiang's face turned ugly.

She tugged fiercely at Hong Quan's sleeve and whispered, "Don't you see that your mother is almost starving to death, and your wife has never had a full meal. The whole family is starving, and you still dare to invite people to eat?"

"I'm telling you, there's no food left at home. If you dare to let anyone stay for a meal, don't blame me for making trouble with you."

These words seemed to be spoken in a low voice, but in fact the voice was not small at all. Xu Manyue was a little far away from them, but she could still hear it clearly.

Xu Manyue also understood that the other party had misunderstood her. She said, "Uncle Hong, I came to see you at this time because the soybean seeds were stolen when I was at work today."

"I didn't expect to come at such an inopportune time. You're still eating, so I won't disturb you and your aunt."

After saying that, she turned and left.

Hong Quan glared at his wife, then hurriedly chased after her.

"Look at what you've done."

Since he is the team leader, it is only natural for the members to come to him if they have any problems.

What's more, he still has something to ask for during the full moon celebration.

"Wait, Man Yue, wait a minute, Uncle Hong wants to tell you something."

Aunt Yunxiang felt a little uncomfortable. She...she thought that this person was just like the previous ones, who came to their house under the pretext of asking the captain for help, but actually came to ask for food.

This family was extremely poor. They couldn't even afford to eat, so how could they give food to outsiders?

She opened her mouth to say something, but when she looked up, the person had already run away.

……

Not long after, Hong Quan caught up with Xu Manyue. After understanding her purpose, he was silent for a moment.

"I'm also angry about this. Those soybean seeds were obtained by your mother-in-law with great difficulty from the commune. No other communes had them, so the commune leaders only gave them to our team."

"I didn't expect that the seeds that were still there last night are only half gone today. Isn't this deliberately making everyone starve?"

"Originally, I was thinking that after the crops were grown, I would give some to your Shen family as a reward. Now I guess there is nothing left."

Xu Manyue pursed her lips. No wonder the old lady was so angry.

"Uncle Hong, my mother is bringing the whole family to find trouble with Liu Laoer. If Liu Laoer didn't do this..."

Hong Quan waved his hand to interrupt her, "Humph, in the entire Qingshan Brigade, there aren't many people who would do such a thing besides him. It's most likely him who did it."

"Your mother is probably even angrier than I am right now, so let her vent her anger. After all, they know their limits and won't cause any loss of life."

Why is the old lady so active at work these days?

The main reason was because he had promised her that as long as the Shen family worked hard, he would definitely award them an active labor award.

They were also given some food as a reward, and the Shen family's positive deeds were publicly praised at the conference.

Now that the seeds are gone, how can she grow any crops? Her reward is gone. How can the old lady not be angry?

Xu Manyue thought about it and decided that since the captain had spoken, that was the only way.

Hong Quan suddenly spoke uncomfortably, "By the way, regarding the full moon and the seeds...can you think of another way to deal with this?"

"If it really doesn't work, tell me where you bought these seeds. I'll buy them back even if I have to pay for them myself."

The brigade is really short of seeds. Without seeds, where will we get food?

But there is a famine now, and even if they have money, they can't buy this thing. Otherwise, he wouldn't go to the commune to beg for it in such a humble manner.

Xu Manyue was silent for a moment, "Uncle Hong, the seeds are really gone."

"These seeds I gave you were given to me privately by Uncle Yang when he was still around. He asked me to take them out and hand them over to the team when you need them."

It's not that she doesn't want to, but she really has nothing left. The reward given by the system is only this little, and she has already taken it all out.

Hong Quan stared at Xu Manyue in a daze, "No wonder... No wonder you were able to produce the seeds..."

It turned out that the old man had left a backup plan. He said, how could that person just leave like that.

In less than a moment, he raised his hand to wipe his face and sighed, "Let's go, let's go see your mother-in-law, so that she won't beat Shen Lao Er to a pulp."

When the two arrived at Liu's house.

The two brothers of the Shen family pressed Liu Laoer to the ground. The old lady grabbed his hair, poked his forehead with her fingers, and cursed him with saliva flying everywhere.

All the saliva sprayed on Liu Laoer's face, but he couldn't avoid it. He could only bite the bullet and endure it all with his eyes closed.

"It's not me, it's really not me, you Shen family, don't go too far!"

The old lady was so angry when she saw how shabby he looked. She pulled his hair and slapped Liu Laoer in the face.

"Hmph, what's with that? You deserve it. You actually dared to seize our brigade's collective property and make everyone starve because of you. You're quite calculating. If you didn't know better, you'd think you were the capitalist or landlord exploiting the people."
