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

The moment the old lady and Mrs. Shen stepped into their house, they couldn't help but drool and their eyes lit up instantly.

"Mother, meat, it's the smell of meat, as if it's coming from the kitchen..."

After the old lady was excited, she was shocked and asked, "Where does the meat come from?"

"Could it be that I smelled it wrong?"

The taste of this meat is different from rabbit meat, it is obviously pork.

Mrs. Shen grabbed the old lady's hand and rushed into the kitchen. "Who cares what kind of meat it is? Let's go and take a look. Mom, let's go and take a look."

Boss Shen and his group followed him into the house and also smelled the aroma of meat.

They were stunned for a moment, sniffed, and indeed smelled the meat. They looked at each other and hurried into the kitchen.

Why is there meat in this house? Is it an illusion? It doesn’t smell like meat.

Although they haven't had any meat for several years, they still can't smell the wrong thing.

The old lady and Mrs. Shen rushed into the kitchen and saw Xu Manyue cooking.

On the stove was a plate of delicious braised pork. The aroma filled the entire small kitchen, making people drool.

"Hey, Third Sister-in-law, where did you get this meat? It smells so good, it's almost killing me."

Mrs. Shen rushed to the plate of braised pork, stared at it with her eyes wide open and grinned foolishly, swallowing her saliva continuously, her eyes glowing green.

"The last time our family ate meat was several years ago. My mouth is almost dry."

"That's good, I can finally eat meat."

The old lady was also shocked. She secretly swallowed and tried to remain calm. "Old Third Wife, where did this meat come from?"

Xu Manyue used a cotton cloth soaked in oil to circle the iron pan. When the pan was hot, she put the washed sweet potato leaves into the pan and fried them, sprinkling some salt on them.

"Mom, you've been working hard these days."

"Just two days ago, Jingming sent back some money and bills, and I got my first month's salary. Today, when I was going to the county town, I happened to come across a state-owned restaurant, and they had one last serving of braised pork, so I thought of buying it back to nourish you and your elder brother."

Mrs. Shen fanned the steam coming out of the braised pork with her hand and took a deep breath of the aroma. "Third sister-in-law, you are so generous."

The old lady looked at the plate of braised pork, swallowing her saliva and feeling a pain in her flesh. "How much money will that cost?"

There is famine everywhere now. Let alone meat, we can't even afford to eat wild vegetables.

Xu Manyue quickly put the fried sweet potato leaves in the pot into a plate.

"Mom, compared to money and your health, of course your health is more important. Besides, even in the city, you can't even get meat if you want it."

"I took your pulse last night. You were malnourished and overworked. If anything happened, how would I explain it to Jingming when he came back?"

At this time, Boss Shen and the others also walked in and saw the plate of braised pork.

Everyone's eyes were fixed on the braised pork, and they were all swallowing their saliva without blinking.

"Mom, my third brother's wife means well, so don't be stingy about the money." Old Master Shen said.

Shen Laoer hadn't eaten meat for a long time, and he was very greedy.

"Yes, mother, today is a happy day because of the meat. Third brother and sister-in-law are filial. You should be happy."

Shen Jianping picked up the chopsticks, picked up a piece of meat and put it to the old lady's mouth.

"Mom, try this piece of meat first. It's a token of Third Sister-in-law's love for you. We are all blessed by you tonight."

"Right, sister-in-law."

Xu Manyue smiled and brought out the ten steamed buns she had bought today. "Tonight, it's not just Mom, everyone has a share. I bought these steamed buns for everyone."

All of a sudden, everyone in the Shen family became excited and looked at Xu Manyue with gratitude.

These things cannot be bought at state-owned restaurants without food coupons. The only people in the Shen family who have food coupons are Xu Manyue and Shen Jingming, who have formal jobs.

Therefore, even if they have money in their pockets, they cannot buy food.

Faced with tonight's steamed buns and braised pork, even Lin Luoxia, who was the most thoughtful, couldn't help but feel a little grateful to Xu Manyue.

Her Baozhu had hardly ever eaten such delicious food since she could remember.

Now he is eight years old, but still skinny. She has wanted many times to get some meat for him to supplement his nutrition, but with her ability, she can only get rabbit meat, but rabbit meat is not as good as pork.

Even for city dwellers, it was difficult to eat meat these days, let alone her, a country woman.

Thinking of this, Lin Luoxia walked to Xu Manyue with a smile and helped her serve the dishes and rice.

"Third sister-in-law, you can take a rest today. I can do the work in the kitchen."

"After dinner, come to my room. I've already made the clothes I promised you last time. Go try them on later to see if they fit. If they don't, I'll make some alterations."

Mrs. Shen rolled her eyes at her expression and hurried forward to help Xu Manyue with the work.

"Third sister-in-law, I'll do it, I'll do it. I'm much more efficient than your second sister-in-law. She's not as good as me. You can rest assured that I will do the work in the kitchen."

"I'm not like some people who have as many thoughts as the hairs on their heads and who are always playing tricks all day long."

Lin Luoxia's expression turned cold. "Sister-in-law, today is a happy day. Don't look for trouble."

She hasn't settled the score with Wang Zhaodi for pinching Baozhu in private yet.

Mrs. Shen walked over and deliberately tilted her butt, as if accidentally, and bumped Lin Luoxia to the side.

"Oh, second sister-in-law, are you okay? I didn't mean to do that. Don't blame me. It's all my fault. I didn't hurt you, did I?"

She covered her mouth and pretended to be surprised as she tried to support Lin Luoxia who was about to fall. Her tone was so exaggerated that anyone with a discerning eye could see that she did it on purpose.

Lin Luoxia was so angry that her face turned ugly in an instant. After she stood firm, she shook her hand away fiercely.

"Sister-in-law, do you think I'm a fool?"

It was such an obvious targeting that even Baozhu could see it.

Mrs. Shen waved her hand, ran to the old lady's side, and wiped her tears with her hand.

"How could I have done that on purpose, Mom? You know my personality best. What my second sister-in-law said really hurts me..."

"Mom, you have to make the decision for me. I don't want to be slandered."

Lin Luoxia's face became even uglier, and she was about to say something.

The old lady raised her hand to interrupt her, "Okay, okay, nothing happened. Today, the third daughter-in-law specially paid for you to eat meat out of her own pocket. You better not make trouble. Hurry up and take the dishes out to eat."
