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

Xu Manyue was about to follow the old lady when she turned around and went home.

Suddenly, she glanced casually at the crowd and unexpectedly saw a familiar face.

She looked like Xu Mingyue who had disappeared long ago, but she looked much older than the previous Xu Mingyue, and it was almost impossible to recognize her former outline.

She thought she was seeing things and was about to take another look, but the man seemed to have noticed her and turned around and disappeared.

Mrs. Shen, who was standing by, noticed that something was wrong with Xu Manyue, and subconsciously looked in the direction she was looking, but there was nothing.

She tugged at her hand, "Third sister-in-law, what are you looking at?"

Xu Manyue retracted her gaze and shook her head. "It's nothing, sister-in-law, let's catch up quickly, mother and the others have gone far away."

Ever since I met Xu Mingyue at the door of my second uncle's house last time, I haven't heard any news about her since then, and it seems that there has been no news about those people in the Xu family either.

Perhaps, they fled famine like in their previous life, or perhaps they starved to death in some corner and no one knew about it.

But she had already severed ties with the Xu family, and this had nothing to do with her anymore.

Little did they know that in the corner, a woman in tattered clothes and skinny all over was quietly watching Xu Manyue's back as she left. She never said a word, but just stared at her.

Next to the woman stood a tall man.

He pressed the woman against the wall, pressing her head against the cold plaster. "Put away those little thoughts of yours. We're here to find food to save our lives, not to die."

"Xu Mingyue, if you want your son to live, then be a good boy and don't cause trouble."

Xu Mingyue closed her eyes and was silent for a long time. "He is not only my son, he is also yours."

"Lu Huaiyuan, you have no heart."

For her now, everything in the past has lost its meaning. She doesn't want love or hate anymore, and doesn't want to worry about them.

The only thing she wanted was for her child to survive safely.

Unfortunately, the child’s biological father doesn’t think so.

Lu Huaiyuan curled the corners of his mouth, and a hint of sarcasm flashed in his eyes.

"My life is almost gone, who still has such a thing as human nature?"

"My parents starved to death in front of me because of your child. From that moment on, that child is no longer a child of my Lu family, let alone my child."

The existence of that child and Xu Mingyue reminded him all the time that his parents were dead and they starved to death because they saved food for the mother and son.

Xu Mingyue was silent, her lips were bitten until they were bloody, and her fingers unconsciously clenched the corner of her clothes.

She was indeed wrong in this matter, but she never expected that Uncle Lu and Aunt Lu, who had always disliked her, would secretly save their own rations and give them to her and the child.

She thought they still had food, so she accepted the sweet potato...

Lu Huaiyuan looked at her with disgust and closed his eyes again, "You are really disgusting. You have done so many shameless things, yet you can still pretend to be harmless."

"I'm telling you, Chuanzi is the only child in our Lu family now. From now on, you and your son must save half of your food rations for Chuanzi. Otherwise, get out of here."

Xu Mingyue's face turned pale and she looked up at the man in disbelief.

"He is your own flesh and blood. Chuanzi is just your nephew. Even if you hate me, you can't hate a child who is less than one year old..."

Lu Huaiyuan's face turned completely cold, and the anger in his heart kept surging. He forced himself to suppress these emotions.

"Child? It's because of you and that child that my parents starved to death. My eldest brother, his wife, and several nephews and nieces also starved to death."

"Now, the entire Lu family only has Chuanzi as the only child left. You and your bastard are the ones who feel the most guilty towards Chuanzi. I'm already doing a good deed by not asking you to pay with your lives."

"These are all what you owe him and our Lu family."

As these words fell one by one, Xu Mingyue's strength seemed to be gradually drained away. She slowly fell to the ground, her nose sore and tears streaming down her face.

Perhaps, all this was wrong from the beginning...

At this moment, there was no place for her and her child to stay except by Lu Huaiyuan's side. She could only compromise, and keep compromising for the sake of her child, without any way to resist.

……

After Xu Manyue returned home, for some reason, she always felt that the person she accidentally saw today was Xu Mingyue, who had disappeared for a long time. It had been more than a month since they last saw her.

The other person's temperament had changed a lot, which made her look like her, but not like her.

Tonight, it’s study time as usual.

Xu Manyue no longer thought about Xu Mingyue, but instead devoted all her time and energy to the breeding course. She still got up early the next day and went to school.

As soon as she arrived at school, she found that there was a new female teacher named Meng Xiao.

Teacher Qian also specially introduced the two to each other.

"Man Yue, this is our new teacher, Meng Xiaomeng. She came to the countryside specifically to teach."

"You two are both lesbians. You can exchange teaching experiences with each other and improve your relationship."

Meng Xiao took the initiative to extend his hand and shook hands with Xu Manyue with a smile, "Hello, Comrade Xu, we will be colleagues from now on."

Xu Manyue looked at the person in front of her and extended her hand to shake hands with him. "Hello, my name is Xu Manyue. If you encounter any problems in school in the future, you can ask me."

It was only the early summer of 1961, and it was not yet time for a large number of educated youth to go to the countryside, but before that, there had actually been educated youth who went to the countryside.

These educated youth basically came to the countryside on their own initiative, and they came with the belief that they could make a career in the countryside and use the knowledge they learned to benefit the people.

The moment Meng Xiao saw Xu Manyue coming in, his eyes lit up.

"Okay, then I'll call you Man Yue from now on. You're really pretty."

Like a rose blooming on a rainy night, quiet and elegant.

She had just arrived at the Hongqi Commune yesterday and it was the first time she had seen such a beautiful female comrade.

Although Xu Manyue's skin color is not as fair as the girls in the city, she has a bright and beautiful aura all over her body, which makes people's eyes bright.

Xu Manyue pursed her lips and smiled, "Thank you for the compliment, you are also very beautiful."

Meng Xiao is thin, fair-skinned, has a good temperament, and exudes a scholarly air.

The clothes she wore had almost no patches on them, and her smile was very beautiful, especially when she was praising people, her eyes were extremely clear.
