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

Three days passed in a blink of an eye. Just as Xu Manyue got off work and returned to the Shen family, news came from Liu Laoer.

The seed thief has been found.

Hong Quan used a loudspeaker to call everyone to the open space in front of the team leader's office for a meeting.

When the old lady heard this, she hurried over with her whole family. She wanted to see who was so bold as to touch the things that she, Wang Wanhua, had brought back.

When the group arrived there, there were already quite a few people around.

At this moment, Mrs. Shen suddenly tugged at Xu Manyue's sleeve and pointed at the woman who was tied up and thrown on the ground, covered in dust. "Third sister-in-law, look, is that Xu Mingyue?"

"She's changed so much. She's even more destitute than those women fleeing famine. If she hadn't just looked in our direction, I wouldn't have recognized her."

"But she ran away, didn't she? How come she's back again? She's been tied up and pinned to the ground by Liu Laoer. Could it be that she was the one who threw the seeds in the brigade?"

Xu Manyue followed her gaze and met the woman's eyes, which were dead silent, without a ripple, like a pool of stagnant water.

She was a little surprised, but after looking carefully, she could vaguely recognize that this person was Xu Mingyue who had disappeared for a long time.

It was also the woman she saw two days ago.

People around pointed at Xu Mingyue and made all kinds of unpleasant comments.

Liu Laoer stomped Xu Mingyue to the ground, spat on her face, crushed her with his foot, and pointed at him and said to everyone.

"It was this woman who stole the seeds from our brigade, not me, Liu Laoer. The last time I stole the grain, it was because my children were almost starving to death. I had no other choice but to do nothing."

"But this time I really didn't do it. The higher-ups gave us relief food, and I'm so grateful. How could I do something so shameless?"

As he spoke, Liu Laoer's eyes turned red and he gritted his teeth and said, "Fortunately, the captain gave me three days to find this bitch."

"She has an accomplice, but unfortunately this bitch refuses to speak up. I asked everyone to come here today, not only to clear my name, but most importantly, to discuss how to deal with this woman."

"And find out her accomplices and arrest them all."

The people present suddenly became excited and spat and cursed at Xu Mingyue angrily.

"So it was her. Last year, before she even got married, she got pregnant by a wild man outside and gave birth to two bastards. I don't know where she ran off to a few days ago. I thought she died outside."

"I didn't expect that she would sneak back and do such a shameless thing."

"Humph, a few years ago, she was a city girl who looked down on us sweaty farmers. I didn't expect that this girl who came back from the city is not as good as us country women."

"At least the women in our countryside wouldn't be so shameless as to allow themselves to be impregnated by men who don't know how to behave, nor would they undermine the foundations of socialism and steal collective property."

The old lady was so angry that her face looked extremely ugly. She wanted to rush up and tear the man to pieces.

"Bah, bah, bah, what a bitch! Captain, we must not let her go today!"

Xu Manyue quickly calmed the old lady down, "Mom, don't worry, let's see what the captain says first."

"Everyone is watching this matter, they will definitely not let her off easily."

Mrs. Shen also pulled the old lady, "Mom, the third daughter-in-law is right. Let's wait and see. If the captain doesn't handle it properly, how can we just sit there and watch? This involves food, and no one will let her go."

Now almost all the Xu family members who protected her are dead. After doing such a thing, Xu Mingyue will definitely not be able to escape.

The old lady suppressed her anger a little, but she was still furious. "Alright, let's all watch today. If anyone dares to let this bitch go easily, I, the old woman, will be the first one to not forgive him."

The matter at hand was almost settled, so Hong Quan finally stood up, glanced at everyone, and cleared his throat. "We have found some clues about the soybean seeds that were lost a few days ago."

"Although Liu Laoer didn't do this, he did steal seeds from the brigade warehouse last year. Today, their merits and demerits offset each other, so we won't pursue the matter for now."

"But if you do it again, I will never forgive you."

"As for Xu Mingyue stealing the seeds, she has accomplices behind her. We'll lock her up for now and deal with her accomplices later. If you have any clues, feel free to come to me."

The seed stealing incident has come to an end for the time being.

On the way home, the old lady kept cursing at Xu Mingyue, using almost every kind of nasty words she could think of.

Lin Luoxia glanced at Xu Manyue and slowly said, "Third sister-in-law, you should be quite familiar with Xu Mingyue. Do you know who her accomplice might be?"

Xu Manyue paused and said in a cold tone, "Second sister-in-law, you think too much. She and I have never had a good relationship. How could I possibly know all this?"

Lin Luoxia was stunned for a moment, then nodded and said, "That's right, I almost forgot. Although we both have the surname Xu, you are still different from her, sister-in-law."

Mrs. Shen came over and heard this. She rolled her eyes.

"Second brother's wife, look at what you said, it sounds so uncomfortable. Who is Xu Mingyue, and who is the third brother's wife? I remember you are not that stupid. Why are you comparing that woman with the third brother's wife?"

"If I didn't know, I would have thought you had bad intentions."

Lin Luoxia's face stiffened slightly. She subconsciously glanced at Xu Manyue. Seeing that her expression had not changed, she relaxed a little.

"Sister-in-law, what are you talking about? How could I possibly think that? Stop talking nonsense here. If it affects the relationship between us sisters-in-law, that would be bad."

"Right, third sister-in-law?"

Unexpectedly, at this time, Xu Manyue had already walked to the old lady's side and was chatting and laughing with her.

He ignored the two of them at all.

When they got home, Shen Qingqing and Shen Baozhu had already prepared the meal and were waiting for everyone to come back and eat.

Nothing happened at home these days.

Rural children are rural children after all. A few days ago, they didn't know how to do housework at all. In the past two days, Shen Baozhu has done it quite well. Although it can't be said to be perfect, it's passable.

Shen Qingqing's attitude towards her also improved a little, and the two of them could talk to each other.

Everyone sat down to eat together, and after the meal, everyone went back to rest.

Xu Manyue had been studying in the room for a while and was extremely tired, but couldn't fall asleep, so she pushed the door open and went out for a walk in the yard.

Unexpectedly, just as she walked into the yard and passed by Lin Luoxia and Shen Laoer's house, she heard voices coming from inside. When she listened carefully, she heard that they mentioned her.
