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

Xu Manyue nodded.

Mrs. Wu smiled and said, "Man Yue, you two look about the same age. I'll have to trouble you to take care of Ming Hua in the future. I've spoiled my daughter so much that she has a straightforward personality."

"If she treats you badly, just tell me and I'll teach her a lesson for you."

……

We talked and walked along the way, and it didn't take long.

Xu Manyue brought Mrs. Wu and her family to the doorstep. Just at this moment, the old lady brought Boss Shen and others back to the doorstep as well.

The two gangs met at the doorstep.

Seeing Xu Manyue bringing back so many refugees, the Shen family was stunned for a moment.

Mrs. Shen hurried over and pulled Xu Manyue aside.

"Third sister-in-law, how could you bring back so many refugees? We don't even have enough food to eat ourselves, how can we care about others?"

"Isn't this causing trouble for the family? I thought you were smart, but you're even dumber than me."

The old lady also came over and said, "Old Third Wife, what's going on? Can you explain it to me?"

Just as Xu Manyue was about to speak, Mrs. Wu rushed over, grabbed the old lady's hand, and cried with tears and snot, choking constantly.

"Oh, it's sister-in-law, right? I'm Shuisheng's wife. Big brother has told you about Shuisheng."

"My son Shuisheng died during the famine last year. Before he died, he kept complaining about not being able to see his eldest brother one last time. He said that when he was a child, he fled the famine and didn't run away intentionally. He just wanted to find some wild vegetable dumplings to fill his stomach."

"I didn't expect that my elder brother would disappear in the blink of an eye. I had no choice but to flee with everyone else. We fled and fled until we arrived at the place where we live now."

The old lady was stunned, her lips trembling as she looked carefully at the old woman in front of her, "You...what did you say? Are you Shuisheng's wife?"

She first heard the name Shuisheng decades ago.

At that time, she was just a little girl in a landlord's family. Unexpectedly, when she was sixteen years old, she was favored by the landlord and forcibly taken advantage of.

The landlord's wife hated her for seducing her master, so she sold her to Qingshan Brigade. She had originally planned to sell her to an old man who was raising children and had lost several of his wives.

Fortunately, at the critical moment, Shen Dashan appeared and spent most of his family fortune to buy her.

Shen Dashan is more than ten years older than her, but he has never been with a woman, so he doesn't mind her innocence.

The reason he saved her was not to make her his wife, but because she was almost the same age as his lost brother Shen Shuisheng.

Mrs. Wu raised her hand to wipe away her tears, her eyes reddening, "Yes, sister-in-law, I finally found you. Shuisheng is my man."

"You don't know, before my man left, he kept repeating the name of my eldest brother. An elder brother is like a father. There are only two brothers left in our Shen family who depend on each other for survival. I didn't expect them to be separated during the famine."

"From the day he married me, he has been talking about his lost elder brother in my ear."

Xu Manyue noticed the old lady's emotional fluctuations. She hurried over, patted her on the back gently, and briefly told her about her encounter with Mrs. Wu.

……

"Mom, I don't know the situation, so I brought them here to see you."

The old lady looked at the people around Mrs. Wu and had a rough idea in her mind.

But just in case, she asked again carefully.

Mrs. Wu knew that she still had questions, so she pulled Shen Minghua in front of her.

"Minghua, tell your aunt about the past events your father has been talking about in front of you and your brothers and sisters since you were little."

Shen Minghua's eyes were filled with tears, and he hugged the old lady tightly.

"Aunt, I finally found you. You don't know how happy my father would be if he were still alive..."

……

After recounting some past events, the old lady finally confirmed the identities of these people.

She pulled Shen Minghua and gently touched her face, which looked similar to the Shen family members. For a moment, she couldn't help but feel emotional.

"It'll be good if you come back, it'll be good if you come back."

There is no mistake about it, they are Shen Shuisheng's wife and children.

The old man saved her because she was about the same age as Shuisheng. If it weren't for the brother-in-law he had never met, she would have died long ago.

Mrs. Shen on the side curled her lips and said, "Mom, just based on a few words from them, you recognized the person. Isn't that too hasty?"

Boss Shen also felt something was wrong. He whispered in the old lady's ear, "Mom, Second Uncle and my father have been separated for so many years. How come he found me when he said he would? Now is a time of famine. Be careful not to be deceived."

"We only have so much food at home, not enough for ourselves. If so many poor relatives come, how can we survive?"

He said that even if these people were his second uncle's family members, he would not recognize them.

His father has been dead for so many years, and the relationship between the two families has long been severed. There is no need to cause such trouble.

Shen Lao Er also thought so. These days, no relatives are as important as food. This group of people are clearly here to beg for money, so there is no need to acknowledge them.

"Mom, big brother is right. Let's not ask for trouble."

The old lady was silent.

Mrs. Wu, who was standing by, saw that something was wrong and quickly pulled the old lady over to introduce her sons, daughters-in-law, grandchildren, and granddaughters one by one.

"Sister-in-law, look, this is Minghai, my second son..."

Xu Manyue stood aside and watched quietly. Lin Luoxia walked to her side without her knowing when. "Third sister-in-law, do you think mother will recognize them?"

One or two would be fine, but there are five or six open mouths.

At that time, the family even gave up the eldest sister and the children she gave birth to.

What are these relatives whom I haven’t seen for decades?

Xu Manyue said calmly, "Second sister-in-law, as daughters-in-law, we just need to do our duty. Mother knows her limits."

deny?

It's not that simple. They were obviously well prepared. Anyone with a discerning eye could tell the relationship between Mrs. Wu's children and the Shen family just by their appearance.

When my father-in-law fled to Qingshan Brigade to escape famine, he never gave up looking for his lost brother Shen Shuisheng. Most of the elderly people in the village have an impression of him.

Lin Luoxia glanced at the old lady and said nothing more.

Xu Manyue was right. The mother-in-law couldn't let these outsiders starve and suffer.

On the other side, after Mrs. Wu and Shen Minghua cried for a while, the old lady finally sighed.

"Since you are here, let's make our home here."

As soon as these words were spoken, the expressions of the Shen family members changed.

"mother……"

Mrs. Wu and her family were all beaming with joy, with a hint of excitement flashing in their eyes.

However, the old lady spoke the next second, breaking their fantasy.

"I'll take you to see the team leader. Our team is short of labor right now. I think Minghua and Minghai are good workers. They can go to work directly in the next few days."

"Each person earns eight or nine work points a day. You have several people working, so you can definitely support the whole family in a year."
