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

Old Man Xu looked at Xu Manyue without saying anything.

It's not impossible for her to regret it now.

Life is not easy for a woman without the support of her natal family, especially for a family like the Shen family.

Xu Manyue nodded without hesitation and said, "Uncle Yang, let's get started."

After hearing this, the captain thought for a moment, turned to look at Old Man Xu and Old Lady Xu, and then looked at Xu Shanping and Tian Lanfang.

"You think so too?"

He really couldn't understand. They were all granddaughters, and they were all daughters of the Xu family. How could they do such a thing as replacing one with a bride? It was too biased.

I don’t understand, I really don’t understand.

Although Man Yue is not someone who will suffer any loss, she has no family support after getting married. If she encounters any problems in the future, she will probably have to swallow her anger.

What is this called.

Old Man Xu's face turned grim. "Captain, just be a witness."

Since she wants to do things so drastically, let her do it. Anyway, if she is wronged in her husband's family in the future, she will have to cry and beg them.

Old Mrs. Xu didn't say anything. She was in charge of the small matters in the family, while the big matters were left to the old man.

Xu Shanping looked at Xu Manyue and seemed to be hesitant to speak. He wanted to say something, but the two old men didn't speak, so he closed his mouth again.

As for Xu Xiangyang and Xu Xiangbei, they stood beside Xu Mingyue from the very beginning, watching the scene quietly.

The captain looked at the attitude of the Xu family and understood instantly.

He sighed again. No wonder Man Yue wanted to completely sever ties with the Xu family.

If it were him, he would have probably given up long ago.

"Alright, I'll be your witness. Bring me a pen and paper, write this down in black and white, make two copies, and sign your names."

Soon, the severance letter was written and both parties signed it. From then on, Xu Manyue had no relationship with the Xu family.

Xu Manyue held the thing in her hand, and the haze in her heart dissipated a lot, and she became more relaxed.

Finally, she left this home that did not belong to her.

After thanking the team leader, Xu Manyue returned to her shabby thatched hut.

He took out a plain piece of clothing without patches from the bed, folded it neatly and placed it on the bedside.

Nowadays, you need a ticket to buy anything. Without a ticket, you can’t even buy cloth, let alone make clothes.

During the famine years, cotton production also decreased, and it was even more difficult to save up cloth coupons in rural areas.

Each person was only given four feet and five inches of cloth coupons per year. With so many people in a family, everyone needed clothes, and even if they saved up for a year, it was not enough, so they had to exchange them to make new clothes.

In many families, it is not uncommon for seven or eight brothers and sisters to take turns wearing clothes full of patches.

Before Xu Mingyue came back, she could make a piece of clothing or pants every year. After Xu Mingyue came, she never made new clothes again.

Even most of the clothes that originally belonged to her were altered by Tian Lanfang with a needle and a ball of thread, little by little, in front of a kerosene lamp after work, to make them suitable for Xu Mingyue.

In the end, she was left with only two sets of patched clothes.

I heard that Tian Lanfang originally planned to leave her only one set of clothes, but Xu Mingyue saw that the two sets of clothes were gray and had patches all over them.

She didn't want to wear such fabric, so Tian Lanfang didn't do it.

As for this dress without patches, she will wear it when she gets married tomorrow. It is one of her dowries. It was originally prepared by Tian Lanfang long ago for Xu Mingyue to marry into the Shen family.

Now that she has married into the Shen family, the clothes have become hers.

Suddenly, Xu Manyue remembered the things that her second aunt and others stuffed into her hands when she went to work this morning.

She had eaten the boiled egg in the morning, but she hadn't opened the other thing yet.

Xu Manyue took something out of her body and opened it.

There was a stack of money inside. After counting it, there were a total of ten yuan and forty-six cents. This money was made up of dimes, dollars, and even cents.

Among them, part was given by my second uncle and second aunt, and the other part was the private money saved by my two cousins.

It goes without saying that this amount of money is probably half of their family assets.

When the family was divided, my second uncle's family got nothing. Even the house they live in now belongs to my second aunt.

Second Aunt is an orphan whose parents died young. Although the house was left by her parents, it is not in a good condition either.

Xu Manyue clenched the stack of money tightly, feeling warm in her heart. These were the only relatives she had in this world.

Early the next morning.

Xu Manyue woke up early.

Today is the day she marries into the Shen family.

When the Shen family learned about the substitute marriage, they did not object, but they asked that everything be kept simple.

Xu Manyue had just gotten up when there was a knock on the door.

She thought it was her second aunt, so she quickly put on her clothes and went to open the door.

There was no one outside the door.

Xu Manyue walked out and looked around, but didn't see anyone.

Just as she turned to enter the house, she saw a bundle at the door, which was obviously placed there on purpose by someone.

Xu Manyue was stunned for a moment, picked up the bag, brought it into the house, and opened it to take a look.

Inside was a red women's coat, a red skirt, and an envelope.

Suddenly, I felt like I was back to three years ago.

At that time, the famine was not so severe, Xu Mingyue had not returned yet, and she could still go to school in the commune.

She and Lu Huaiyuan had been engaged for a long time, and their families lived close to each other, so they often walked together to the commune to study.

At that time, Lu Huaiyuan looked at the mountain road that seemed to have no end and held her hand tightly.

She had said more than once that he would definitely get into university and become a city official, and that when they got married, he would buy her a red dress and ride a bicycle to pick her up.

Xu Manyue looked at the festive red dress and roughly guessed who sent it.

She opened the envelope in the bundle.

Inside was an exquisite red hairband and five dollars.
