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

Xu Manyue shook off Tian Lanfang's hand and said, "It's not impossible for me to marry in your place. It depends on your sincerity."

But... this sincerity depends on whether the Xu family can do it.

As she was thinking, she touched her shriveled belly and her consciousness began to blur.

I’m hungry. Really hungry.

I just woke up and was immersed in the shock of my rebirth. I almost forgot that I hadn't eaten for a long time.

It is now 1960. There has been no rain for several years and it has been dry. Naturally, there is no food in the fields.

Everyone eats in the shared canteen.

But now the canteen in the brigade is running out of food.

The daily meals were reduced from two meals a day to one meal a day, and from corn grits porridge to an unknown wild vegetable porridge.

Last year, you could still see some corn grits mixed with wild vegetables in the bowl, but now it is basically corn cobs ground into flour and mixed with a little wheat bran to make porridge.

Every day, some people get off work early and rush to the canteen to queue up for food, for fear that if they go too late there will be nothing left and they will have to go hungry.

Several elderly people in the village have starved to death, and many people have suffered from edema, with their faces and limbs swollen and looking horrifying.

Xu Manyue fainted from anger this morning until now late at night, and no one in the Xu family has visited her, let alone left her any food.

Naturally, I was extremely hungry and felt weak all over. I almost didn't have the strength to speak.

Tian Lanfang widened her eyes and raised her voice subconsciously, "Sincerity?"

"What sincerity do you want?"

"I'm asking you to marry in a place of honor, not to kill you. Do you really need that?"

No wonder since Mingyue came back, her parents-in-law and her husband have all disliked her. She is so petty and narrow-minded. Who would like her?

Xu Manyue tried to hold on to her frail body, gasping for breath. "I haven't eaten anything all day. You want me to marry her in her place? I can't let her starve to death before I even get married, right?"

In her previous life, she saw that the first people to starve to death in the village were the elderly, and she was afraid that her grandparents would not be able to survive the hunger, so she always saved half of her food rations and gave them to the two elderly people.

It was not until she was abandoned by the Xu family while fleeing famine that she realized that the food rations she had saved so hard had all gone into Xu Mingyue's stomach, and that they were given to her personally by her grandparents.

Now that I think about it, it's really ridiculous.

When Tian Lanfang heard the words "starved to death," she subconsciously retorted, "It's past dinner time. Where's the food coming from? You fainted out of anger. You deserve to starve to death..."

Food is more valuable than money nowadays. Money may not necessarily save lives, but food can.

Don’t you see how much she eats every day? Not to mention being 70% full, it’s good enough if she can be 40% or 50% full. There is no extra food for her to eat.

Xu Manyue shook her head. "That can't be helped. I'm almost starving to death. Why would I marry someone else?"

In her previous life, when she had feelings for the Xu family, she was unwilling to marry, and the Xu family could do nothing about it.

Now her feelings for the Xu family have been exhausted. If she doesn't give in, the Xu family will still be unable to do anything to her.

At worst, she would just die. Before she died, she would have taken the Xu family with her, and she would have made a profit.

Anyway, those who are barefoot are not afraid of those who wear shoes.

"You...just wait, I'll go find you something to eat."

Tian Lanfang was so angry at her shameless tone, but there was nothing she could do. She could only sigh, think about it, and decide to find her something to eat.

After all, she was a piece of flesh that fell from his belly. Although Man Yue was not as likable as Ming Yue in every way, he couldn't just watch her starve to death.

Besides, if she died, who would marry Mingyue into the Shen family?

But where can I find this food...

We eat from a big pot now, and there's really nothing to eat at home, unless I go to my mother-in-law...

My mother-in-law loves Mingyue very much and often prepares special meals for her in the middle of the night. If I go now... it should still be in time.

After Tian Lanfang left.

Xu Manyue's ears finally quieted down.

In her previous life, she threatened to commit suicide and refused to marry him. The Xu family had no choice but they didn't want to marry Xu Mingyue to him either.

In the end, he could only compensate most of the Shen family's wealth, and hurriedly escaped from the Qingshan Brigade by fleeing famine, away from the Shen family.

On the way of fleeing famine, there was little food left. One night, unknown to her, the Xu family abandoned her in her sleep, took all the food, and fled with Xu Mingyue.

When they left, they didn't leave her any food except a letter expressing guilt and full of complaints.

And this letter was written by Lu Huaiyuan himself.

Lu Huaiyuan is her fiancé. He is a well-known capable intellectual in Qingshan Brigade. He is handsome and one of the few high school students in the brigade.

In another year, with his ability, he will definitely be able to get into university.

She and he have been childhood sweethearts and have feelings for each other.

He once said that he would definitely take her out of the countryside and into the city.

He will give her a stable and happy life.

But this man who once said he liked her in her previous life, took the initiative to come to her house and cancel the engagement after she threatened to commit suicide and refused to marry in her place, and turned around to get together with Xu Mingyue.

In the letter, Lu Huaiyuan said that the Xu family had no choice but to abandon her.

Xu Mingyue is in poor health, kind and weak by nature, and the only blood of her uncle, who also saved her father's life. It is natural for her parents to take care of her.

Let Xu Manyue stop resenting her family.

If he has the chance, he will definitely come back to find her.

Her biological brother Xu Xiangyang said that Mingyue needed protection more than she did. If she was abandoned, she might have a chance to survive, but if she was taken with her, the whole family would just wait for death. He knew that the whole family would let her down.

But if she had married in place of them, perhaps they would not have abandoned her.

Her beloved younger brother Xu Xiangbei, whom she had loved since childhood, scolded her, calling her vicious and saying that it was all her own fault. She had refused to marry in a different marriage, and now she was abandoned by her entire family. She deserved it.

……

In the end, Xu Manyue starved to death on the road because she had no food.

Under the scorching sun, her body rotted and stank on the road, and her body was so broken that it gradually became a pile of bones with no one to bury it.

After death, his soul did not dissipate. Instead, it stayed with the Xu family. After watching them abandon him, he arrived safely and smoothly in another place and survived there.

Her fiancé Lu Huaiyuan also fled to that place with his family to escape famine.

Later, Lu Huaiyuan married Xu Mingyue. After the reform and opening up, the two worked hard all the way from the countryside to the provincial capital, and finally became big bosses. They lived a happy and prosperous life as they wished.

With the help of Xu Mingyue and Lu Huaiyuan, his elder brother Xu Xiangyang gradually built his own business and had a wife and children.

His younger brother Xu Xiangbei went abroad to study and became a famous lawyer, gaining both fame and fortune.

As a result, his parents loved Xu Mingyue even more than their two biological sons, Xu Xiangbei and Xu Xiangyang.

From beginning to end, they never thought about Xu Manyue who died on the way to escape famine.

When I think about the things that happened in my previous life, it seems like it happened yesterday, everything is still vivid in my mind.

Xu Manyue touched her bloody palm and sighed.

I can't accept these relatives of the Xu family, nor can I accept my fiancé who has changed his mind. It seems that I should stay away from these people as soon as possible to avoid bad luck when I see them.

However, if he wanted to completely sever ties with the Xu family without damaging his reputation and still being able to divide some interests, he had to find a suitable opportunity and take the initiative into his own hands.

Xu Manyue thought about it carefully and decided that at the moment, marriage by substitution might be a good opportunity.

It just so happened that the top-notch in-law transformation system on her body could play the greatest role after she married into the Shen family, allowing her to survive the famine years.

……

After Tian Lanfang left Xu Manyue, she hesitated for a long time, but still knocked on the door of Mrs. Xu and Old Man Xu.

"Dad, Mom, it's me."

Since the implementation of the communal dining system, all the pots in the house were used to make steel, and people had to go directly to the canteen for meals, so there was no food at home.

Except for the meal today when my mother-in-law kept the portion for the full moon, there is really no food left at home.

inside the house.

Old Lady Xu was just about to serve out the wild vegetable porridge that she had saved today, and privately called Mingyue and the others to come and eat.

But unexpectedly, just as he was about to call for help, the eldest son's wife came.

She looked at the old man lying on the bed, and they were silent for a moment.

After a while, Old Man Xu waved at her, indicating that she should put away her things and go open the door.

Old Mrs. Xu sighed, first locked the half bowl of porridge she had saved today, and then went to open the door.

Tian Lanfang: "Mom, she agreed to marry me on Man Yue's behalf, but she just woke up and hasn't eaten anything all day. Can you give her some food? We can't let her starve to death."
