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

Xu Manyue took the money but did not ask for the industrial coupons. "I'll take the money, but you don't need the coupons. You just went to the countryside, and I guess you'll need them a lot in the future. Keep them."

"Besides, even if you don't need a ticket, the twenty-five dollars you have is enough."

Now, you need an industrial ticket to buy daily necessities such as enamel basins and thermoses.

If you don’t have a ticket, it won’t work even if you have money.

Shen Jingming would send some tickets back every month, so she was not short of industrial tickets.

Meng Xiao took her hand and said, "Okay, Sister Manyue, I'll treat you to a meal after I start cooking."

She really didn't have many industrial coupons left. Next month, her eldest brother was getting married and there were so many things he needed to buy, and her family didn't give her many industrial coupons.

……

After returning from get off work at school, Xu Manyue went to her second uncle's house again and gave them some coarse grains.

When I was returning from Uncle Xu's house, someone suddenly called me, "Wait a minute, girl, let me ask for directions."

Xu Manyue turned around and saw an old woman fleeing famine. Behind her was a large family, and each of them was holding a tattered, dusty little bag.

They looked extremely miserable, but upon closer inspection, neither the old man nor the child looked extremely thin from hunger.

not simple.

Xu Manyue became secretly alert.

"Girl, do you know where Shen Dashan lives?" The old woman came up and asked with a smile.

Xu Manyue was stunned for a moment. Shen Dashan?

Isn’t that Shen Jingming’s biological father who passed away early?

"You are?"

The old woman sighed and wiped her tears. "My last name is Wu. You can just call me Aunt Wu. My husband is Shen Dashan's younger brother. During the famine, the two brothers separated and haven't seen each other for decades."

"There was a famine in recent years, and my husband died early from illness. His only wish before he died was to find my eldest brother so that our family could be reunited. After much inquiry, we fled all the way to Qingshan Brigade."

"I heard that there was once a man named Shen Dashan in the Qingshan Brigade who fled from famine. He was also a hunter and his age was right."

“So I came to take a look.”

Xu Manyue looked around the whole family. In addition to the old woman, there was a couple in their thirties. Each of them was holding a child, a boy and a girl.

Next to the old woman stood a man in his twenties and a girl of seventeen or eighteen. A closer look revealed that the girl was somewhat similar to Shen Qingqing. No, it should be said that she was somewhat similar to the Shen family.

It seems that what she said is true.

Shen Minghua noticed Xu Manyue's gaze. She glanced at her, then looked away and whispered in Mrs. Wu's ear.

"Mom, why is this person looking at us so strangely? Is she up to something bad?"

Along the way, they encountered many people who wanted to take advantage of them.

Mrs. Wu paused, glanced secretly at Xu Manyue, and shook her head gently, "It doesn't look like that. Don't say anything for now. I'll ask her carefully."

She cleared her throat, walked to Xu Manyue's side, and asked tentatively, "Girl, do you know Shen Dashan?"

Xu Manyue collected her thoughts and nodded, "That was my father-in-law's name, but he's been dead for many years."

Regardless of whether this group of people are really looking for their relatives, if they ask around a little, they will definitely find out where they are. It would be better for her to take people back and find out about their situation first.

Mrs. Wu was stunned at first, then she was filled with emotion, her eyes instantly reddening, "We are late, it's us who are late. We didn't expect that the two brothers had already met down there."

Shen Minghua stepped forward and patted Mrs. Wu on the back, comforting her, "Mom, don't be sad. At least we have found a place. If Dad were still here, he would be so happy."

"It's not like we don't have any relatives. Look, my uncle still has children and a wife."

The couple holding the child also came up and said, "Yes, mother, we have finally escaped to a place where we know people. Let's go see our aunt first. It will be dark soon, so don't waste time."

After hearing these words, Mrs. Wu finally stopped crying and looked at Xu Manyue embarrassedly.

"Look at me, niece-in-law. I was so sad that I forgot to ask if my sister-in-law is okay now. What is your husband's rank in the family?"

They have come here to seek refuge with their relatives this time, so they cannot be ignorant of everything and not understand anything.

Xu Manyue looked at the group of people around Mrs. Wu and said, "Aunt, please come back with me first. My mother and the others are almost done with work. I'll tell you the details of the situation once we get home."

Mrs. Wu's face was wrinkled with laughter. She walked forward, took Xu Manyue's hand and patted it gently.

"Okay, let's go home first. It's getting dark outside, and your brother, your sister, and I haven't found a place to stay yet."

"That's good. I met you halfway. I finally have somewhere to go."

"It's fate."

Xu Manyue smiled faintly, "It is indeed fate."

She went out and brought back a bunch of relatives, so the house will probably be lively tonight.

on the way back.

Mrs. Wu introduced Xu Manyue to the people who had fled the famine with her.

"This is my little girl, Minghua, she's seventeen years old, and this one, this is my eldest son..."

After a series of introductions, Xu Manyue could hardly tell who was who.

But she had figured out the general situation for the time being.

Mrs. Wu has three sons and one daughter. Her daughter is an old-born daughter and is as favored as Shen Jianping.

The two eldest sons were already married and had children. During this famine escape, the eldest son and his family were unwilling to leave their hometown and remained in their original brigade.

Therefore, now around Mrs. Wu, there are only her second son's family, her third son, and her little daughter Shen Minghua, a total of six people.

Their family has been fleeing from famine for more than half a year, and they have almost survived by begging for food along the way. Now they have nothing left on them, only one or two pieces of tattered clothes. They have not eaten for many days and are now starving.

Xu Manyue listened to Mrs. Wu crying and begging for mercy all the way. She remained calm on the surface, but in fact she became alert again in her heart.

A closer look reveals many differences between this family and other people fleeing famine.

Just by looking at their expressions and complexions, you can tell that this family is at least not as miserable as Mrs. Wu said.

Mrs. Wu pulled Shen Minghua to Xu Manyue's side and said, "Minghua, call me sister-in-law. You are the third daughter-in-law of your uncle's family. You should call me Third Sister-in-law."

Shen Minghua looked at Xu Manyue and obediently called out, "Third sister-in-law."
