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

When Xu Manyue rode her bicycle back to Qingshan Brigade, it was already late.

It was late at night and it was pitch black all around.

If she hadn't been familiar with these roads since she was a child, it would have been difficult for her to ride a bicycle in the dark.

Just as we arrived at the village entrance, suddenly, a boy about ten years old ran to the village entrance, threw a child about one year old under a dead tree, and ran away without looking back.

The child saw that he was the only one around, and after a while, he pouted and started to cry.

"Brother, brother..."

Xu Manyue couldn't help but be stunned for a moment. Although it was dark, she recognized at a glance who the boy who had just run away was.

She glanced at the child, and without much hesitation, she pushed hard on her bicycle and caught up with the fleeing Lu Chuan, "Lu Chuan, wait a minute, Lu Chuan..."

Lu Chuan, who hadn't run far, heard someone calling him. His face turned pale instantly and he ran forward regardless.

But two legs can never outrun a bicycle.

Not long after, Xu Manyue caught up with Lu Chuan and stopped him.

Lu Chuan looked up and saw the person in front of him clearly. He turned around and tried to run, but was grabbed by Xu Manyue.

"Lu Chuan, when did you come back?"

"Is your second uncle back too?"

"Aunt...Aunt..." Lu Chuan's face changed drastically and he subconsciously took a few steps back.

Xu Manyue saw his panic and couldn't help but frown slightly, "The child you just threw away, was it the child your second uncle and Xu Mingyue had?"

Xu Mingyue gave birth to twins last year, a boy and a girl, but only the boy survived.

Later, she disappeared with her child. A few days ago, she came back and stole seeds from the brigade. However, she has not yet explained who her accomplice is, and even her child is missing.

Now it seems that there is a high probability that she took her child to seek refuge with Lu Huaiyuan, and Lu Huaiyuan was the one who stole the seeds from the brigade.

Lu Chuan lowered his head and said nothing. No matter how they asked him, he wouldn't open his mouth.

Xu Manyue thought for a moment and said, "If you don't tell me, I'll take you to see the captain and you can tell him."

Lu Chuan panicked all of a sudden. He quickly grabbed Xu Manyue's hand and said, "No, Auntie, please don't tell the captain, okay?"

"Please, Auntie, don't tell the Captain."

During the famine escape last year, he and his second uncle were the only ones left in the family.

If the captain knew that they had secretly returned, then what my second uncle had done would probably be revealed.

Xu Manyue looked at Lu Chuan's thin body and sallow face and sighed.

"The soybean seeds disappeared from the brigade a few days ago. It was your second uncle and Xu Mingyue who did it, right?"

When she was still engaged to Lu Huaiyuan, Lu Chuan was the one who liked her the most among the Lu family members. Whenever they met privately, he would always jokingly call her Second Aunt.

Even when the Lu family made something delicious, Lu Huaiyuan would ask him to send the food to her.

Lu Chuan was silent, biting his lip and not saying anything.

Xu Manyue still had something to wonder. She thought of the child and changed the subject, "Lu Chuan, why did you abandon him?"

"Don't you know it's easy to get into trouble at this late hour?"

A trace of hatred flashed in Lu Chuan's eyes, and he could no longer suppress his emotions, "He deserves it!"

"If it weren't for him and that mother of his, my parents wouldn't have died, and my grandparents wouldn't have died either, but it's his fault."

"I didn't secretly abandon him when I was fleeing the famine. I've already done him justice."

Xu Manyue was stunned. "What?"

All the Lu family members are dead, and now only Lu Huaiyuan and Lu Chuan are left?

In their previous life, the Lu family relied on the food that Lu Huaiyuan got from the black market. Although they suffered some hardships when fleeing famine, fortunately, they finally settled down in a relatively prosperous brigade.

Gradually, the lives of the Lu and Xu families became better and better. No one died in the famine. After the famine was over, the Lu family became richer and richer thanks to Lu Huaiyuan's efforts.

Lu Chuan seemed to have finally found someone who understood and could confide in him. He told Xu Manyue everything that had happened over the past year.

……

After hearing this, Xu Manyue didn't know what to say for a moment.

In the past, when she was engaged to Lu Huaiyuan, the old couple of the Lu family had always been dissatisfied with her, but because of Lu Huaiyuan, they didn't do anything to her, but their attitude was always distant.

Unexpectedly, in just one year, these people were gone.

Not far away, the child was still crying loudly, calling for his brother...

Xu Manyue withdrew her thoughts and glanced down at Lu Chuan, "Are you sure you want to abandon that child?"

Lu Chuan remained silent.

Xu Manyue sighed, said nothing, turned over again, got on her bike and prepared to leave.

"Auntie, where are you going?" Lu Chuan noticed her movements, became anxious, and hurriedly stopped her.

Xu Manyue looked up at him, and after a while, she said, "It's getting late now, I'm going home."

There was a famine these days and many children were lost. She didn't want to get involved in the Lu family's affairs.

Lu Chuan was stunned for a moment, then he reacted, pursed his lips, and moved aside to let her leave.

Xu Manyue did not go home immediately, but went to Hong Quan's house and told him that Lu Huaiyuan might be Xu Mingyue's accomplice.

The soybean seeds that were stolen from the brigade were obtained by the old lady with great difficulty from the commune leaders for the people in the brigade. It is neither moral nor reasonable to take this matter lightly.

But she didn't tell anyone about what happened tonight. She just said briefly that she happened to see Lu Huaiyuan.

After hearing this, Hong Quan was silent for a moment, "Man Yue, please don't make this public for now. I'll sort this out privately first."

Xu Manyue nodded, "Uncle Hong, I know."

After returning home.

The old lady and her friends had already returned from work and had almost finished their meal.

Everyone was a little surprised to see Xu Manyue coming back so late.

Mrs. Shen: "Third sister-in-law, didn't you get off work a long time ago? Where have you been so late at night?"

They came back so late that they had almost finished their meal.

The apprenticeship matter had not been decided yet, and Xu Manyue didn't plan to bring it up now, so she made up an excuse, "A student in my class didn't go to class, and I went to visit his home."

When Mrs. Shen heard about this, she didn't ask any further questions.

I just feel that being a teacher is not easy.

There is famine everywhere now, so it is normal for students not to go to class. One day their families may not be able to make ends meet, and they may not even have the energy to go to school, let alone study.

Shen Jianping secretly glanced at Xu Manyue. He always felt that his third sister-in-law had gone to help him find a master.
