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

In less than a moment, all the other members of the Shen family went into the house, leaving only the old lady, Xu Manyue and Shen Jianping in the yard.

There was silence all around, so quiet that it was eerie.

The old lady glared at Shen Jianping fiercely, "Tell me, are you attracted to Teacher Meng?"

Who are they and who is he?

It's not that she, as a mother, looks down on her eldest son, but that's the fact. The gap between the two of them is too big and there is no possibility at all.

Shen Jianping was silent for a moment, lowered his head and said nothing.

The old lady looked at his disappointing appearance and felt a little disappointed. "You can be attracted to anyone, but you have to be attracted to an educated youth from the city. How can a country bumpkin like you marry someone so high up?"

She turned to look at Xu Manyue, "Third wife, tell him, with his awful appearance, how could Teacher Meng be interested in him?"

Xu Manyue pursed her lips and said, "Jianping, what mother said does make sense. A pair of small leather shoes from Teacher Meng is worth half a year's income for our family."

"She's only here for a year or two and will be back in the city soon. It's impossible for you to be with her. No matter what you feel for Teacher Meng, break it off as soon as possible. This will be good for both you and her."

Anyway, he and Meng Xiao had never spent much time together, so the so-called love at first sight was nothing more than lust at first sight.

Shen Jianping raised his head suddenly, "No, it's not like that, I really like her."

"Mother, Third Sister-in-law, you can't deny my love for her just because of this."

"Maybe after we get along for a while, Meng Xiao will like me too. Anyway, I don't care. This is the first time I like a girl. No matter what you say, I won't give up."

The old lady was so angry that her face turned ugly. She raised her finger and pointed at him, "You...you really want to piss me off to death, don't you?"

She has lived for most of her life and has seen all kinds of people and things.

When Teacher Meng was at their house last night, he looked uncomfortable and timid, which showed that the two of them were not suitable.

Even if the girl likes the fourth brother.

She would not agree to this marriage. It was an inequality and there was no good outcome.

Xu Manyue was also a little surprised at Shen Jianping's persistence in Meng Xiao.

But it's impossible for these two people.

Not to mention Meng Xiao, to be frank, any girl with some demands would look down on Shen Jianping.

After all, when looking for a man, everyone hopes to find one who is reliable and can provide support for his wife and children.

Although Shen Jianping's situation has improved a lot over the past year, he is still lazy at work and relies almost entirely on his brothers and mother for a living. How can he support his wife and children?

Thinking of this, Xu Manyue had an idea in her mind. She said, "Jianping, there is one thing I can tell you clearly. Teacher Meng likes men who are ambitious and capable."

"If you want her to like you, you have to change and make her look at you in a new light."

Shen Jianping's eyes lit up instantly, "Third sister-in-law, are you telling the truth?"

As long as he is willing to change, Teacher Meng will like him?

The old lady's face changed slightly, and she quickly pulled Xu Manyue aside, "Old Third Wife, what are you doing? Don't you think things are messy enough?"

She knew her son well, and he was just a life of idleness and waiting for death, with no future. She didn't have high expectations for her eldest son, as long as he was safe and healthy, she didn't ask for anything else.

The third son's wife said this just to cause trouble.

Xu Manyue held the old lady's hand and sighed, "Mom, look at Jianping. Can he listen to what we say to him now?"

The old lady shook her head. Of course not, otherwise she wouldn't be so worried.

Xu Manyue continued, "Since that's not possible, what else can we do? Since he wants to pursue Teacher Meng, let him go."

"This kind of thing isn't something he can achieve just by wanting it. Feelings can't be forced. The key still depends on Teacher Meng."

"When he suffers, he will know whether we are right or not."

"Maybe I can use this incident to change his temper so that he can survive even without relying on his family in the future."

The old lady was silent.

In fact, the one she was most worried about in the whole family was her eldest son. If she passed away one day, how could his brothers protect him for the rest of his life?

This person can only rely on himself in his life.

Thinking of this, her emotions kept fluctuating and became extremely complicated.

"Third daughter-in-law, what do you think we should do?" The old lady looked at Xu Manyue.

Xu Manyue thought for a moment, "Since he wants to pursue Teacher Meng, then let him go, but I can tell Teacher Meng in advance and ask her to set three conditions for Jianping."

"What conditions?" the old lady asked subconsciously.

Xu Manyue said: "First, he has to have a formal job; second, his academic qualifications must reach Teacher Meng's level; third, he must be able to impress Teacher Meng."

"And before the first two conditions are met, he is not allowed to meet with Teacher Meng privately."

The old lady looked disgusted and waved her hands, saying, "That's impossible. The fourth child's head is full of mud. He's already eighteen years old and has no skills at all, let alone a job. He didn't even finish elementary school, and he still wants to go to high school?"

"He's dreaming."

Even if it was her most beloved son, she would not dare to go against her conscience and praise him for his ability.

Xu Manyue said, "Mom, isn't our goal to make Jianping give up? If he can do it, that would be great; if he can't, then our goal will just be successful."

"If he meets these three conditions, let Teacher Meng give him a chance. Of course, whether it will succeed in the end is still up to Teacher Meng."

The old lady reacted immediately and patted her thigh, "Yes, that's it."

She took Xu Manyue's hand and said, "Third wife, I'll leave this matter to you. You have a good relationship with Teacher Meng. Talk to her and see if she can help us."

Xu Manyue nodded and said, "Don't worry, mother, leave this to me."

The old lady finally breathed a sigh of relief. "It's getting late. You still have to go to work tomorrow. Go back to sleep first."

Xu Manyue glanced at the old lady and saw that she looked tired and her complexion was obviously not very good.

She walked to her side and felt her pulse, "Mom, you should go to bed early tonight."

"Don't save the malted milk Jingming sent you last time. Drink it every night. If you don't eat it, it will go bad sooner or later, and it will be a waste then."

"Okay, Mom understands." The old lady sighed, and her heart felt slightly warm.

"You're so thoughtful. I've been so busy these days, and not many people have given me any time to worry about it."

Xu Manyue helped her back to the house.

The old lady was obviously tired. She had been working all these days and had a lot of worries at home. She was tired both mentally and physically.

Accidents are more likely to happen when people are tired, especially the elderly.
