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

Xu Manyue sat on the edge of the bed, looking at the bundle of things, and was silent for a moment.

To be honest, she and Lu Huaiyuan have been childhood sweethearts. It would be a lie to say that she has never been moved by him.

Objectively speaking, Lu Huaiyuan is a very attractive person in the entire team.

Not only is he good-looking, he is also very capable.

When he was in junior high school, he used the knowledge he had learned to help the team solve many big and small problems.

At school, he is also regarded by teachers and classmates as a hardworking and smart student.

As for his fiancée, he will also try his best to help her study and make progress together with her.

But when Xu Mingyue returned to the Xu family, the person who was able to go to school changed from her to Xu Mingyue.

Lu Huaiyuan seemed to have changed.

She gradually couldn't fit in with him, but Xu Mingyue was getting closer and closer to him.

Xu Manyue touched the red dress, and then threw it into the corner together with the red hairband in the envelope.

……

On the other side, Aunt Xu and Uncle Xu and their family rushed over early just to see Xu Manyue off to get married.

The two cousins also came over, but no one from the Xu family showed up, and the whole family kept the door closed tightly.

The news of the severance of the relationship last night had also spread, and many people came to watch the fun and see the attitude and behavior of the Xu family on the wedding day.

Many people started talking about it.

"Oh, if you ask me, Man Yue is still too young. There is a famine now, and the Shen family is not a good family. If she cuts off ties with her natal family now, who will support her if she gets wronged in the future?"

"That's true. Although the Xu family's substitutionary marriage wasn't fair, she's too stubborn. She'll definitely suffer in the future."

"Yes, yes, with Mrs. Shen's temper and Shen Jingming not being at home, she will suffer if she marries Man Yue."

……

Although it was called a wedding, there wasn't much of a process involved, because the groom, Shen Jingming, was still in the army and couldn't come in person to pick up the bride.

In Qingshan Brigade, the bride price is usually only five or six yuan, plus half a pound of sugar.

In order to make it up to her, the Shen family not only gave her a betrothal gift of ten yuan, but also gave her two kilograms of sugar and a piece of cloth.

These are the Shen family’s compensation for the simple wedding.

Of course, these things had already been agreed upon in advance. The Xu family did not want any of them, and they all went to Xu Manyue, the new daughter-in-law.

inside the house.

Xu Manyue had already drawn some water, wiped her body, put on her clean and plain clothes, and simply tidied her hair.

She has already packed the things that need to be packed.

The dowry that the Xu family promised to give her, including wardrobes, boxes, quilts, buckets and basins, will also be taken along when the Shen family picks up the bride.

Xu Manyue had just finished packing when she turned around and saw Second Aunt Xu coming in. She smiled and stood up to greet her, "Second Aunt, you're here."

"Well, the full moon is so beautiful today." Aunt Xu walked over, took out a red hair flower and pinned it in her hair.

Xu Manyue raised her hand and touched the red flower in her hair, smiling faintly, "Second Aunt only knows how to coax me."

In years of famine, everyone is pale and thin. They can't even eat, so how can they be considered good-looking?

Second Aunt Xu shook her head and said, "I'm telling the truth."

Before the famine, her niece was beautiful. Even now, during the famine and with some malnutrition, she still looked better than most people.

But marrying into a family like the Shen family, with her husband in the army, I'm sure she'll suffer a lot in the future.

Thinking of this, she felt a little more pity for her.

"Manyue, if the Shen family makes things difficult for you in the future, just come to Second Aunt. Second Aunt's family is your mother's family. Your two brothers may not have anything else, but they still have strength. If the Shen family dares to bully you, Second Aunt will bring your two brothers to fight against them and support you."

Xu Manyue's nose felt sore and she couldn't help but throw herself into Aunt Xu's arms.

"Thank you, second aunt."

How great it would be if her second uncle and second aunt were her real parents.

But even if they are not, they are her real family in her heart.

Aunt Xu held her in her arms and gently touched the top of her head.

"Why thank you? I've watched you grow up. When you were little, I took care of your meals and clothes every day. In my heart, you are the biological daughter of me and your second aunt."

"From now on, your second aunt, your second uncle, and your two brothers will be your mother's family."

"It just so happens that Jianshe and Weimin have always wanted a biological sister."

Xu Manyue didn't want to cry at first, but now she couldn't stop crying. She leaned in her second aunt's arms and sobbed.

From childhood to adulthood, her second uncle's family has always been the best to her.

Every time my second aunt bought something delicious from outside, she would have whatever my two cousins had.

Second Aunt Xu thought about the girl she had watched grow up, and how she was about to get married in the blink of an eye. For a moment, she couldn't help her emotions, her eyes turned slightly red, and she choked with sobs while holding the person in her arms.

"Don't cry, don't cry. Today is your big day. How can you cry like this?"

"Second Aunt..."

Soon, it was time to pick up the bride.

It suddenly became lively outside.

"Hey, look, it's a bicycle, a bicycle."

You know, bicycles were a rare commodity these days, and few families in the surrounding area owned bicycles, especially during this difficult time when people couldn't even get enough food to eat.

Picking up the bride on a bicycle is definitely a very face-saving thing.

"It really is a bicycle. Look, the man who came to pick up the bride is wearing a military uniform."

"Yes, it's a military uniform. It seems Jingming has returned from the army."

"Didn't you say Shen Jingming was on a mission and had no time to come back? Why did he come back suddenly?"

"Of course, the mission was completed, and I hurried back to get married."

The villagers who were watching the excitement saw from afar a tall man in military uniform with a big red flower hanging on his chest riding a bicycle towards them.

Behind her, there were several young men who came to pick up the bride.

inside the house.

Aunt Xu heard the noise outside and couldn't help but get excited, "Man Yue, did you hear that? Jing Ming is back and he made it to the wedding."

Xu Manyue was slightly stunned.

Why did Shen Jingming come back? Did he really come back for the wedding?

In her previous life, after she refused to marry in her place, Xu Mingyue did not marry into the Shen family, and Shen Jingming never came back.

In this life, could it be that he came back specially because the wedding was not cancelled?

Soon, Xu Manyue calmed down again.

Shen Jingming's return will not have any impact, but will make the Shen family more supportive of this marriage.

Soon, the bicycle was getting closer and closer, and everyone could clearly see the man in military uniform riding the bicycle.

"Jingming, it's really you. When did you come back?" Aunt Liu's eyes lit up and she hurried over.
