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

Shen Baozhu's face turned pale and she hid in Lin Luoxia's arms, not daring to come out.

Lin Luoxia's heart tightened, she forced a smile, and patiently explained, "Mom, the child is young and naive. It's all my fault for not teaching her well."

"Just don't be angry."

"Baozhu, why don't you come and apologize to Teacher Meng." She pulled Shen Baozhu in her arms in front of Meng Xiao.

"Teacher Meng, I'm sorry to have made you laugh, but Baozhu isn't a bad person. She's just young and playful. If something like this happens again, just tell me."

Shen Baozhu's eyes were red and tears could not stop falling. "Teacher Meng, I'm sorry. I will definitely change in the future."

The atmosphere in the room suddenly froze and was filled with tension.

The old lady's expression turned even uglier. "Shen Baozhu, explain to me, is this how you study?"

There was a famine in those days and every household was so poor that they could not even have food to eat. Most families would be considered doing their best to let a girl go to school and not sell her for food, let alone send her to school.

This is because the second son has only had this one daughter for all these years, otherwise, Shen Baozhu would have no chance to study.

The other members of the Shen family didn't dare to breathe, for fear of being implicated.

Shen Baozhu cried silently, but because of the old lady's cold face, she didn't even dare to cry out loud. She could only cover her eyes with her hands and cry quietly.

Lin Luoxia was so distressed that she lowered her head and held the child in her arms, "Mom, the child knows she is wrong, she will change in the future."

"Don't be angry."

Meng Xiao noticed that the atmosphere in the Shen family was not right, and subconsciously walked to Xu Manyue's side and whispered, "Sister Manyue, I...did I say something wrong?"

She really didn't expect that the Shen family would be so angry.

Xu Manyue shook her head gently at her.

Lin Luoxia and her husband spoiled their child too much. Shen Baozhu really needs to change her temper.

Otherwise, something big will happen in the future.

Shen Lao Er hurriedly came up and tried to pull the old lady's arm, "Mom, calm down first. From now on, I will watch Baozhu do her homework well every night."

"I won't let her do it again."

The old lady shook off his hand and glanced at Lin Luoxia, "Humph, you two, I don't count on you two. Since you are reluctant to discipline the child, then let your sister-in-law take care of it."

She turned her head and looked at Mrs. Shen, "Daughter-in-law, do you hear me? From now on, you are responsible for disciplining Shen Baozhu. As long as she makes a mistake, you can beat her or punish her as you like."

"If anyone is dissatisfied, let them come to me."

Lin Luoxia and Shen Laoer's faces changed drastically, and they subconsciously objected, "Mom, no."

The sister-in-law was so ruthless and showed no mercy when she beat her own daughter. If she beat Baozhu, she would beat her to death. What if something happened?

Xu Manyue was also a little surprised that the old lady actually asked her sister-in-law to discipline Baozhu.

It seems that he has made up his mind and decided to discipline his child.

Mrs. Shen was extremely shocked. She pointed at herself and said, "Mom, are you sure you want me to discipline Baozhu?"

If she treated Baozhu the same way she treated Qingqing, she would be scolded to death by the second brother and his wife.

The old lady glanced at her and asked, "Why, you don't want to?"

Mrs. Shen smiled awkwardly and looked at Lin Luoxia and Shen Laoer who were standing beside her. "Yes, yes, of course."

"It's just that I didn't know how to control my strength, and I have a bad temper. If I make the child cry, my second brother and sister-in-law won't come to trouble me, right?"

Lin Luoxia felt cold all over, but she subconsciously hugged Shen Baozhu tightly in her arms, shaking her head repeatedly, "Mom, no, I will discipline the child well, don't give the child to my sister-in-law."

Shen Laoer also felt that it was inappropriate. Wang Zhaodi beat her own daughter, and on several occasions she beat her to death. She would hit her if she was not satisfied.

If Baozhu went to her place, she would have to suffer a lot. He has only had one daughter for so many years, so how could he bear to let her suffer?

So he looked at Xu Manyue and winked at her.

Now in this family, only the third son’s wife’s words can be listened to by my mother.

Lin Luoxia also thought of this. She hurriedly looked at Xu Manyue and pleaded, "Third sister-in-law, please help Baozhu speak up. The child is still young, how can we leave him to the eldest sister-in-law to discipline? We will definitely teach the child well in the future. Please persuade mother."

Upon hearing this, Sister Shen laughed angrily and looked Lin Luoxia up and down. "Why, second sister-in-law, I won't eat Baozhu. Mother gave Baozhu to me because she trusts me. She is not afraid that I will hurt Baozhu, so what are you two afraid of?"

"Look at my Qingqing, and then look at your Baozhu. They are both granddaughters of the Shen family, so why is there such a big difference?"

"Qingqing started learning how to wash clothes, sweep the floor, and do housework when she was four or five years old. She's not like Baozhu, who's seven or eight years old and can't do anything. If you ask her to watch the fire in the stove, she can burn the kitchen down."

"Tell me, am I better than you in this regard?"

Lin Luoxia's face turned slightly pale. "Sister-in-law, Qingqing is Qingqing, and Baozhu is Baozhu. How can they be compared together?"

Don't think that everyone is like her, treating their daughter as grass, but as a treasure.

She will only have Baozhu as a child in this life, so she will naturally do her best to spoil her and make her happy.

Instead of being like Shen Qingqing, who was beaten and scolded by her sister-in-law and treated no different from a piece of rag.

Mrs. Shen rolled her eyes and sneered, "If mother hadn't given Baozhu to me, I wouldn't want to let someone else take care of the child. It's so tiring and worry-free."

"If you have the guts, ask mother to take back what she said. Otherwise, if Baozhu gets beaten and scolded by me in the future, don't bother me."

She teaches her daughter by beating and scolding, nothing else.

The old lady still had a cold face and remained unmoved.

"There's no room for negotiation on this matter. I've already given you a chance."

Lin Luoxia's body froze, and she could only place her hope for help on Xu Manyue again.

"Third sister-in-law..."

Xu Manyue shook her head helplessly, "Second sister-in-law, mother has spoken, there is nothing I can do."

Besides, Baozhu is the Shen family's child after all, and the old lady still has some feelings for her. How could she possibly harm the child?

She must have had her own considerations for choosing her elder sister-in-law, so she decided not to get involved, so as not to annoy the old lady.

Lin Luoxia wanted to continue begging, but the old lady interrupted her with a wave of her hand, "Don't say anything else. If you say anything more, just take the child and get out of the Shen family. Our Shen family can't tolerate two big Buddhas like you and your daughter."

If he leaves sooner, she can still find a woman who can give birth to a son for her son.

There is a famine outside now, so marrying a daughter-in-law is just a matter of a few kilograms of sweet potatoes. The Shen family has no shortage of sweet potatoes.

When these words came out, Shen Lao Er was frightened. He quickly waved his hands and said, "Mom, this is not okay. You can't joke like this."
