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

Mrs. Wu was stunned for a moment, then she reacted and smiled awkwardly, "Sister-in-law, it's getting late. How about we rest for a night before going to see the captain?"

The two children started crying, "I'm hungry, I'm so hungry, grandma, I want to eat..."

Shen Minghai's wife held the two children and coaxed them, "Be good, we'll go to your great-grandfather's house soon, and you won't be hungry anymore."

Shen Minghai touched his head a little embarrassedly and said to the old lady, "Auntie, I'm sorry to make you laugh. My wife can't speak, please bear with me."

After that, he scolded his wife in a low voice, "What are you talking about? No one is rich these days. We are here to seek refuge with our great grandfather, not to beg for money. Be careful with your words."

Mrs. Wu pinched her second daughter-in-law fiercely and cursed softly, "Really? Shut up from now on and stop teaching the child bad things."

Shen Minghai's wife shrank her body, holding the two children in her arms, not daring to breathe, looking so pitiful.

Mrs. Shen walked to Xu Manyue's side and lowered her voice, "Third sister-in-law, listen to this, one is playing the good cop and the other is playing the bad cop. Do they really think we can't see it? If it were you, I would say you shouldn't recognize them."

There is so much trouble for no reason.

Xu Manyue pursed her lips and said nothing.

Mrs. Wu fled to this place with her whole family, hoping to find a support to survive the famine.

I finally found the Shen family, how could I be willing to let go?

However, they miscalculated.

She walked to the old lady's side, looked at Mrs. Wu and spoke with some embarrassment.

"Aunt, our brigade has a rule that any outsider who wants to settle down in our brigade must first report to the brigade leader. He will assign you accommodation based on your situation and also arrange for you to work."

"If you want to stay, you must go to the captain tonight to finalize the matter."

The old lady took Xu Manyue's hand, patted it gently, then turned to Mrs. Wu and her group and said.

"I know you've been fleeing famine for so long and finally found us here, but since you're from outside, you really have to go through the captain before you can settle down."

"Before it gets completely dark, I'll take you to find the captain as soon as possible."

After saying that, she took a step forward and took Mrs. Wu's hand and went to Hong Quan's house.

While talking, he also called out to the others to follow, "You have to follow too. If someone is missing, the captain won't let you settle down here, and that will be difficult."

"Third wife, you went with me. The rest of you have been working hard all day, so go back and rest."

Xu Manyue nodded and quickly followed the old lady's footsteps. "Mom, I think the house next to the captain's is quite good. Although it's a bit shabby, it's big and can be cleaned up enough for Aunt and the others to live in."

"Besides, that place is close to the captain's home, so it will be convenient if anything happens in the future. Aunt, what do you think? If it's possible, I'll mention it to the captain later and let you settle down there."

Mrs. Wu subconsciously glanced at her daughter. Shen Minghua shook her head slightly at her, so she smiled awkwardly.

"Sister-in-law, it's Man Yue. We finally escaped the famine and came here to find you relatives. Naturally, we hope to live closer to you so that we can visit each other if anything happens in the future."

"I think the house next to yours is quite nice. It doesn't look like anyone lives there. Why don't you talk to the captain and ask him to let us live there?"

The house she mentioned was where Liu Pozi and her family lived before. Later, some of the Liu family members died, some fled from famine,

The old lady let go of Wu Pozi's hand and looked at Xu Manyue. Her expression faded. "Third daughter-in-law, explain to your aunt."

Mrs. Wu's heart skipped a beat, and she subconsciously looked at the old lady, "Sister-in-law, what are you doing..."

Xu Manyue nodded and explained to Mrs. Wu, "Aunt, it's not that we don't want you to live in the house next to ours, but that's someone else's house."

"They may come back at any time. Even the captain has no right to give you someone else's house to live in."

A hint of discomfort flashed across Shen Minghua's eyes.

Humph, after saying so much, you still treat them as poor relatives and are afraid that they will get close to you.

She shook the old lady's arm and said, "Aunt, I don't know why, even though I just met you for the first time today, I always feel like we've known each other for a long time. We're so close."

"If you live too far away, it will be inconvenient for me to visit you in the future."

"How about you think of a way to let us live next door to your house."

The old lady's eyes trembled slightly, and she seemed to see her eldest daughter, Shen Lanhua, in a trance.

The face in front of me is somewhat similar to her when she was seventeen or eighteen years old.

Unfortunately, she ended up not caring about anything and married that bastard Lin Daquan.

Gradually, she lost her former obedience, and even for that man, she would go to her parents' home every few days to steal things and subsidize her in-laws' family.

She eventually starved to death last year, and she didn't even dare to visit Lanhua at her grave.

The old lady's eyes were red and a trace of tears flashed in her eyes. She reached out to touch Shen Minghua's face in a trance, "Orchid..."

Shen Minghua was slightly stunned, but did not refuse the other party's extended hand. Instead, she smiled even more gently.

When Xu Manyue heard Sister Shen's name again, her expression changed slightly and she looked at Shen Minghua's face carefully.

Her features do bear some resemblance to Sister Shen.

She was silent for a moment, but she still interrupted the old lady's trance, "Mom, this is a famous flower from my second aunt's house."

The old lady's hands froze instantly. Yes, her orchid was gone.

This person is not her.

Shen Minghua and Mrs. Wu looked at each other and secretly kept this name in mind.

"Aunt, who is Lanhua?"

After a long time, the old lady sighed and looked at Shen Minghua again, with a complicated look in her eyes.

Then he looked away again without answering the question.

"Let's go, it's getting late. If we go too late, the captain will be asleep."

"Settle your affairs early so you can rest early."

Shen Minghua couldn't get an answer from the old lady, so she walked over to Xu Manyue and asked softly, "Sister-in-law, who is Lan Hua?"

Xu Manyue pursed her lips and changed the subject, "It's getting late, let's go first."

Over the past year, the death of her eldest sister has been a source of worry for the old lady. Almost no one in the family dares to mention it, for fear of making the old lady sad again.

Soon, the group finally arrived at Hong Quan's house.
