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

Xu Manyue was stunned for a moment, "So, this is why you are afraid of Teacher Meng?"

Shen Baozhu lowered her head, "Well, Meng... Teacher Meng is too fierce."

On her first day of class, she punished the students who were late and often asked them questions. If they couldn't answer, they would be made to stand in the corner.

Yesterday, Chuncao fainted because she couldn't answer a question and was frightened by Teacher Meng. She hasn't come to class until today.

Xu Manyue lowered her head and touched the child's head. "Baozhu, Teacher Meng is not mean, but strict with you. I hope you can learn."

"She's a good teacher. You must respect her in the future. Do you hear me?"

She had also heard about Meng Xiao's teaching methods, and two other teachers were dissatisfied with her teaching methods, saying that she was too strict with students.

But I have to say that Meng Xiao is responsible. After her management over the past few days, the efficiency of almost all the children in class has improved a lot.

"I know, Auntie."

Soon, Meng Xiao, who had gone back to put her things away, came back. This time she changed into an old set of clothes and put down the bag of peach cakes in her hand. However, some things cannot be covered by a piece of clothing.

For example, Meng Xiao's unique scholarly temperament, the confidence she exudes, her fair skin, and her pretty face.

All these can make people know at a glance that she is a girl from the city.

Meng Xiao walked up to Xu Manyue, turned around in place, and winked at her. "How about it, do I look okay now?"

She searched for a long time before finding this set of clothes.

Xu Manyue took a look and nodded, "Okay."

At least it's much better than just now.

Meng Xiao walked to her own bicycle, smiled at Xu Manyue, and looked at Shen Baozhu, "Then let's go, Sister Manyue, the sooner we go, the sooner we'll be back."

Perhaps because of what happened today, Meng Xiao felt a little closer to Xu Manyue. He used to call her Teacher Xu, but now he just called her Sister Manyue.

Even in front of her, he seemed less strange and distant. He kept chattering and asking questions along the way, and was curious about everything he saw.

Even Shen Baozhu has changed her attitude towards Teacher Meng, who is quite strict in class.

Soon, the three of them returned to Qingshan Brigade from the commune. At this time, people were leaving work one after another. Almost everyone was carrying a hoe on their shoulders and wearing a straw hat. They were sweating all over and were extremely tired.

But everyone's face was filled with joy and fulfillment. They walked and chatted with people around them along the way, and it seemed that a day's work was not so tiring.

Meng Xiao looked at these people and couldn't help but sizing them up for a while. "Sister Manyue, you work so hard, how much can you earn in a month?"

Before Xu Manyue could speak, Shen Baozhu spoke first, blinking her eyes.

"Teacher Meng, that's not true. We earn work points. At the end of each year, we earn points that can be exchanged for food or money. At the end of last year, our family received a total of eight yuan and ninety cents."

Meng Xiao was stunned and subconsciously looked at Xu Manyue. No way, it’s so little, less than ten yuan in the whole year.

But those who had just finished work were obviously extremely tired. They couldn't even straighten their backs, and sweat was pouring down their bodies.

How could it be so little throughout the year?

Could it be that the child is talking nonsense?

Xu Manyi saw through her confusion and explained, "In recent years, famine has been raging in almost every place, and our brigade is no exception."

"Last year, we only worked for the first half of the year. In the second half, the fields couldn't grow any food, and many people starved to death. So, we hardly worked in the second half of the year."

"It's pretty good to be able to get this little bit of money at the end of the year."

Whether work points are valuable or not depends on the specific situation of each brigade. If the brigade is wealthy, work points are valuable. If the brigade is not wealthy, work points are naturally worthless.

The fact that we were able to get money at the end of last year was due to the team leader's persistence. This year, there are only a few dollars in the team's account, and we don't know how much we will get by the end of the year.

Meng Xiao looked at the old men carrying hoes to work again, and felt mixed emotions for a moment.

Ten dollars is not enough for her to buy a pair of small leather shoes.

But the people in these places work hard all year round and can't even earn ten yuan, and this is when a whole family works hard for most of half a year.

No wonder she insisted on choosing to come to this place to work in the countryside. Her parents insisted on opposing it and said that she would definitely regret it.

At this time, from a distance, the old lady who had just finished work saw Xu Manyue and Meng Xiao beside her.

She pulled Mrs. Shen and pointed at two people riding bicycles in the distance.

"Hey, eldest daughter-in-law, look at the two people in front. Is one of them the third daughter-in-law? Who is the other one?"

"Why does it look so unfamiliar? Who else in our brigade can afford a bicycle? Could it be someone from the commune?"

Mrs. Shen followed the old lady's line of sight and took a closer look. "Mother, that person is the third daughter-in-law. Look, Baozhu is sitting behind her."

"As for the man next to her, he's fair and tender, wearing clothes made of good material, and riding a brand new bicycle. He might be an educated youth from the city."

Shen Jianping, who was standing aside, stared blankly at the slender figure riding a bicycle in front of him, and was suddenly distracted.

He had never seen such a fair and beautiful girl in his life. Although his third sister-in-law was also beautiful, their beauty was different.

Lin Luoxia noticed something strange about Shen Jianping, secretly tugged at Shen Laoer's sleeve, and winked at him.

When Shen Lao Er looked up, he saw his younger brother looking like a fool. He followed his gaze and saw the figure next to the third brother's wife in the distance.

Judging from her figure, she is indeed a good-looking girl. No wonder the fourth brother was stunned.

Just look at the girl, the brand new bicycle she rides, and the temperament she exudes. This is not something that ordinary people can achieve.

He walked up, put his hand on Shen Jianping's shoulder, raised his eyebrows and smiled, "Hey, Fourth Brother, are you interested in me?"

"But you're seventeen or eighteen, so it's normal for you to have feelings. Coincidentally, our family's financial situation is good this year. How about I ask your mother to find you a wife and take good care of you?"

Upon hearing this, the other members of the Shen family all looked at Shen Jianping.

The old lady, in particular, walked directly to her eldest son's side, squinting her eyes and looking him up and down, "Fourth son, are you interested in the girl next to your third sister-in-law?"

Shen Jianping's ears suddenly turned red, and his eyes avoided him unnaturally. "Mom, what nonsense are you talking about? I just glanced at me, and you're making fun of me?"

"Be careful not to ruin the reputation of the lesbian."

Mrs. Shen covered her mouth and laughed, "Oh, you're still shy, it seems that you've fallen in love with her, mother, why don't you let the fourth child marry someone he likes."

If a new sister-in-law comes into the family, maybe she can join forces with her to deal with the second son's wife.
