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

Meng Xiao took out the bag of peach cakes from yesterday from a small cabinet, opened it and gave them to Xu Manyue and Shen Baozhu.

"I don't have anything good to treat you here, so try this peach cake."

Xu Manyue was stunned for a moment, and quickly waved her hand to refuse, "No, you can keep it and eat it. We will take a look and then leave."

They came in a hurry and didn't bring anything with them, so I didn't feel comfortable accepting their things.

Meng Xiao forcefully stuffed the peach cake into Shen Baozhu's hand, and then stuffed a piece into Xu Manyue's hand.

"Sister Manyue, please don't be polite to me. Last night, you even went out of your way to see me off. If it weren't for you, I would have been scared to death."

Last night was the first time in all these years that she had encountered such a horrible thing. After finally returning to the dormitory, she developed a high fever that night and had difficulty attending classes in the morning.

Xu Manyue smiled and said, "Okay, we'll take it. If you need any help in the future, just tell me and I'll definitely help you if I can."

"Sister Man Yue, you are so kind."

……

After visiting Meng Xiao, Xu Manyue took Shen Baozhu and left when there was a knock on the door.

Meng Xiao thought it was the two of them who had returned, so he dragged his weak body and stood up again to open the door.

When the door opened, a young man who looked familiar yet unfamiliar appeared in front of her.

"you are?"

"You don't remember. We just met last night."

"I...I heard you were sick. This egg is for your nourishment."

A trace of disappointment flashed in Shen Jianping's eyes. It turned out that she didn't see what he looked like last night.

But he still stuffed the cooked egg into Meng Xiao's hand, then turned around and left quickly.

Meng Xiao was stunned for a moment. Last night?

The Shen family, or those who fled famine?

She thought about it carefully and felt that the person looked familiar, but she couldn't remember who he was.

She glanced at the egg in her hand; it was still warm.

But she really had no appetite and her head was dizzy, so she didn't take it to heart and just threw the eggs aside.

the other side.

When the old lady came home from work, she found that an egg laid by the hen that day was missing.

Her face changed drastically, even her lips trembled a little, her eyes went dark, and she almost fainted.

Fortunately, at the critical moment, Mrs. Shen hurriedly supported the person and said, "Mom, what's wrong? What happened?"

"Gone, our eggs are gone..." the old lady muttered to herself.

After the old hen was stolen last year, there was only one left at home.

This year, the whole family relied on this chicken. The eggs it laid every day improved their lives and allowed them to have some meat.

After working in the fields all day, she would go home and touch the eggs. This was her happiest time.

Mrs. Shen's expression also changed. "Mom, you are not mistaken, why are the eggs gone? Could it be that Qingqing is at home and put the eggs away in advance?"

"Or is it that our old hen hasn't laid an egg yet?"

The old lady gradually came to her senses. She gritted her teeth and said, "Impossible! Before I left this morning, I even touched the chicken's belly. There must be eggs there."

"But I just touched it again and didn't feel anything. Qingqing definitely wouldn't touch the eggs. The eggs must have been stolen."

"If I knew who stole it, I would kill him."

Xu Manyue and Shen Baozhu just came back at this time and had just gotten off their bicycles.

Then I saw the old lady and Mrs. Shen standing in front of the chicken coop, cursing and swearing at them, saying all kinds of nasty words.

When Shen Baozhu saw Mrs. Shen, she subconsciously hid behind Xu Manyue, holding her hand tightly, and said weakly, "Auntie..."

Grandma and my aunt are so scary.

Xu Manyue lowered her head and touched her little head, "Go back to your room and do your homework first."

"it is good."

After sending the child away, Xu Manyue walked over and asked, "Mom, sister-in-law, what happened?"

When the old lady saw that it was her, she pulled her aside and told her what had happened while scolding her.

"Third daughter-in-law, how could this happen..."

Mrs. Shen echoed, "Yes, if I find out which damn thief it is, I will skin him alive."

After listening to this, Xu Manyue walked to the chicken coop and took a look. Except for the missing eggs, everything else was fine and there was nothing unusual.

I'm afraid it wasn't stolen by someone outside.

The old lady knew it all too well. She was so angry that she was shaking all over. "Eldest wife, go and call everyone out. Don't leave anyone behind."

Mrs. Shen nodded quickly, "Mom, don't be angry, I'll go right away."

In less than a moment, most of the Shen family came out of the house and stood in the yard.

Boss Shen was exhausted after a day's work, and his whole body was covered in sweat. However, he was short of water and couldn't take a shower.

"Mom, why did you ask us to come out?"

Shen Lao Er and Lin Luoxia didn't say anything, but just stood there quietly watching, with Shen Baozhu standing next to them.

Shen Qingqing and Shen Xiaoshan were also there.

The entire Shen family is missing only one person.

Shen Jianping.

Xu Manyue looked around and had a bad feeling that Shen Jianping was gone.

He wouldn't go to the commune to find Meng Xiao, would he?

So the eggs that disappeared today...

The old lady's face turned completely cold. Where is the fourth child? Where did the fourth child go? "

Mrs. Shen took a look and said, "Yes, why is the fourth brother missing? I saw him before leaving work."

After working for more than ten days in a row, the work in the fields finally came to an end this morning. Therefore, the team leader let everyone go home early today so that they could have a good rest in the afternoon.

Xu Manyue had a guess in her mind, but it was difficult to say it out loud, so she could only comfort the old lady, "Mom, don't worry, wait for the fourth child to come back and ask about the situation first."

The old lady snorted coldly, "Who of you took the egg today? If you don't explain it to me clearly, no one will be allowed to go back to the house tonight."

This is outrageous. There is actually someone with dishonest hands in his Shen family. She must find out who he is today!

"Qingqing, you're at home today. Come out and tell me who might have stolen the eggs."

Shen Qingqing stood up and thought carefully, but couldn't come up with anything, so she could only shake her head.

The old lady's face became even uglier. "You were at home, how could you not know?"

Shen Qingqing's lips turned slightly pale, "Grandma, I really don't know."

Although she was at home all day, she was not always in the yard. If someone secretly stole the eggs, how could she notice?
