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

Cold, stiff, and smelly.

The moment Meng Xiao's hand touched the old man's body, she turned her head and was so scared that she quickly got up from the ground and ran behind Xu Manyue.

"Sister Man Yue, then... then someone died..."

A group of refugees resting by the roadside opened their eyes, glanced at her, then turned over and went back to sleep.

What's the big deal about dead people? We don't know how many people died on the road and how many corpses there are. What's the big deal?

Xu Manyue took advantage of the moonlight to glance at the corpse on the ground. After confirming that there was no breath, she turned around and gently patted Meng Xiao's back, saying soothingly, "It's okay, don't be afraid. You have to get used to this kind of thing in the future."

In the second half of last year, there were even more corpses everywhere on the streets. This year is a little better, with not so many deaths.

But when the next winter comes, there will be more refugees who starve to death on the roadside.

Meng Xiao's tears suddenly fell, her eyes were red, and she looked at the refugees lying on both sides of the road, who were already numb, and her heart was full of complicated feelings.

This situation rarely occurs in the city because every household uses a ration of food. Although most people still cannot eat enough, they will not starve to death.

You won’t even encounter these people who starved to death on the road.

No wonder her parents didn’t let her go to the countryside. It turned out they were afraid she couldn’t handle it.

Seeing her distracted and dazed, Xu Manyue began to tremble with fear. He hugged her into his arms again and sighed, "Don't think too much. It's getting late now. You should go back early."

"Remember, don't think about anything. Go back and have a good sleep. Everything will be fine after a good sleep."

Meng Xiao moved his lips up and down and nodded, "Okay."

Only after the people disappeared from her sight on their bicycles did Xu Manyue go back. When she got home, the old lady and the others were still waiting for her to eat.

After finishing her meal, Xu Manyue was just about to go back to her room to rest when Shen Jianping hurriedly caught up with her. "Third sister-in-law, Third sister-in-law, where is Teacher Meng from today? How is her family situation? Tell me about it."

"Also, does she have a partner? What are her requirements for a partner?"

Xu Manyue paused and glanced at him, "Jianping, Meng Xiao's family is very different from ours. She just came to the countryside temporarily because she failed the college entrance examination. She won't stay here forever."

These two people are not suitable from any point of view, so it is better to give up his thoughts as soon as possible.

Shen Jianping pulled the corner of his mouth, "Third sister-in-law, I understand what you said, but I just want to ask about her situation, not do anything."

Just the bicycle Meng Xiao rode today made him realize the gap between the two of them, but he still wanted to fight for it, which was better than doing nothing.

Xu Manyue sighed, "Jianping, it's not that I don't want to help you, but I don't know Meng Xiao's specific situation. But the only thing I know is that she won't consider anyone from our place."

"You just met for the first time today. If you have a crush on her, it's only because she's pretty. But you two aren't suitable for each other. You'd better give up on this idea as soon as possible."

After saying these two sentences, she turned around, opened the door, went into the house, and closed the door again.

Shen Jianping just stood there without moving.

Shen Laoer noticed the situation here, walked out of the house and took a look, then guessed the reason. He walked over and patted Shen Jianping on the shoulder.

"Old Four, if you really like her, then go after her. What if she's a lesbian and likes someone like you?"

"Besides, if it really isn't meant to be, you won't lose anything."

If he didn't already have a wife, it would never have been the turn of his incompetent younger brother.

It was obvious that Meng Xiao was a girl from the city with a good background. Maybe if he married her, he could become a city dweller himself.

Shen Jianping became excited, "Second brother, do you really support me?"

He thought they would all oppose him like his third sister-in-law.

Shen Lao Er rolled his eyes at him and said, "You are my brother. If I don't support you, who else can I support?"

"Besides, with your current state, you probably won't achieve anything in the future. It would be better for you to marry a good wife and live a good life in the city."

"Maybe in the future, I'll have to ask you for help again."

"Fourth brother, you have to work hard. The men in our family are all good-looking. Although you are not as good-looking as the third brother or your second brother, you are not much worse. Maybe someone will really like your face."

Shen Jianping thought about it carefully and realized that this was indeed the case.

In this area, all the men from the Shen family are good-looking. Even though they have a bad reputation, some young girls still blush when they look at them.

A few days ago, someone expressed his feelings to him, but unfortunately, he didn't like the other person and decisively rejected her.

"Second brother, you are so capable. How about you give me some advice on how to please Teacher Meng?"

His second brother is the man in the Shen family who is best at attracting women, so he has to ask him for some advice.

Shen Lao Er raised his eyebrows and smiled, leaning close to Shen Jianping's ear and whispering, "That's easy. Women are the easiest to be moved."

"Go over to her house and help her with some small things. Even if you don't do them well, it doesn't matter. And be a little more coaxing. After a while, she's a young lesbian living alone in a foreign place, and she's bound to feel lonely and isolated."

"This is also the time when she is most easily moved, and you happen to be by her side, taking care of her in every possible way."

"The opportunity has come."

Shen Jianping hesitated for a moment, "Second brother, this is not good."

He is a grown man, and he often visits young lesbians. If some rumors are spread, it will definitely be bad for her reputation.

Shen Lao Er patted his shoulder and said, "There's nothing wrong with it. The man is unmarried and the woman is unmarried. As long as you can get her, these problems will not exist at all."

Shen Jianping was silent for a long time, "Okay, I'll give it a try."

It was the first time he met such a charming girl. If he didn't give it a try, he would probably keep thinking about her and never be able to let her go.

……

Xu Manyue was in the study space, just about to go to bed after finishing her studies.

Suddenly, there was a cry of a child outside.

"Mom, I don't want my aunt, I don't want my aunt, my aunt pinched me and it hurts..."

Xu Manyue got off the bed, walked to the window and took a look.

In the yard, Shen Baozhu started making a fuss again, crying and knocking on Lin Luoxia and Shen Laoer's doors.

Mrs. Shen chased after her, grabbed the crying Shen Baozhu, covered her mouth, and carried her back.

When Lin Luoxia and Shen Laoer ran out, the child was gone.
