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

I heard that he is only 25 years old, but he is already a battalion commander at such a young age.

The reason why the Shen family was able to live so comfortably during the famine years was because of this third cousin.

Maybe the job Shen Jianping found now was thanks to his connections.

Thinking of this, Shen Minghua couldn't help but envy Xu Manyuelai. Her third cousin-in-law had a really good life. She was just a poor little girl abandoned by her whole family, but she was able to completely change her fate by marrying into the Shen family.

It seems that I still have to build a good relationship with her in the future. Who knows, she might be the next person to get a job.

Shen Jianping looked at Shen Minghua who came closer and frowned slightly. "It's just an apprenticeship, it's not really a job, don't talk nonsense."

"Also, why don't you go to work with your aunts?"

Shen Minghua curled her lips and said, "The family needs someone who can cook. So, I'll be responsible for cooking and taking care of the children while my mother and brother go to work."

What is being an apprentice? Don't think she doesn't know. Even the apprenticeship quota is not something that ordinary people can get. It must be that the Shen family has put in a lot of effort.

It seems that I need to walk around more in the future.

Last night she discussed it with her mother and decided that since her third cousin was an officer in the army, he must have many capable and promising comrades.

As long as she has a good relationship with Xu Manyue, she can take her with her when she joins the army.

If she lets Shen Jingming act as a matchmaker, a good marriage will come her way. Maybe the man she marries will be better than Xu Manyue's.

Just do it.

So as soon as Xu Manyue got off work and returned home, she saw Shen Minghua.

"Hey, sister-in-law, you're back from get off work. I just arrived at our Qingshan Brigade and am not familiar with the surroundings. I thought you would have a day off tomorrow, so how about we go for a walk in town together?"

"What do you think?" Shen Minghua walked straight to Xu Manyue, reached out and pulled her arm, shaking it, acting coquettishly.

Xu Manyue glanced at her and became secretly alert, but her expression remained calm.

Why is this guy so enthusiastic towards her all of a sudden? Does he have any plans?

She calmly pulled Shen Minghua's hand and smiled apologetically, "Minghua, I have something to do tomorrow, so I can't go shopping with you."

"If you really want to go shopping, why not ask Second Aunt to take a day off tomorrow so you two can go shopping together."

Liu Minghua was stunned for a moment, then laughed again, still holding Xu Manyue's arm tightly, "Forget it, I don't really want to go shopping anyway."

She changed the subject and said, "Sister-in-law, what are you going to do tomorrow? I'll go with you. I'm really bored at home alone, and there's no one I know to talk to. After thinking about it, our two families are so close, so I have no choice but to go out with you."

"You shouldn't dislike me, right?" Liu Minghua blinked.

Xu Manyue also wanted to know what this person was planning, so she agreed. "Okay, but even though I don't have to go to work tomorrow, I still have a lot of work to do. Basically, I can only sit at my desk and write all day."

"If you don't mind being bored, I'll find you a book. You can read while I work."

Shen Minghua's face froze slightly. "Forget it... I can't read either. Sister-in-law, you go back to work. I'll come play with you when you're free."

After sending the man away, Shen Qingqing came over to complain, "Aunt San, you don't know, as soon as Shen Minghua entered our house, she started looking around everywhere, especially when she ran into the kitchen, opening this to look, then turning around to open that."

"She's clearly looking for our food. She's so rude and annoying. Luckily, she had already put everything away when I opened the door for her."

"Otherwise, she'll probably try to take advantage of you again."

Shen Baozhu also didn't like these relatives who suddenly appeared. "Aunt, please don't let them come to our house in the future, okay?"

Xu Manyue pursed her lips. It was not that easy. The old lady still had some feelings for Mrs. Wu's family, and the relationship between the two families was clear to outsiders.

Especially Shen Minghua, who had a face similar to Sister Shen, which made the old lady feel pity for her.

It's really hard to kick someone out without a legitimate reason.

"Okay, your grandma and the others will be off work soon, so you two should go cook first."

Recently, the atmosphere in the Shen family has been not very good because Shen Jianping went to the city to be an apprentice.

However, as things have been completely settled, everything seems to have returned to normal, as if nothing had happened.

The night before Shen Jianping left.

Lin Luoxia knocked on Xu Manyue's door.

When Xu Manyue opened the door and saw that it was her, she was a little surprised, but not too surprised.

"Second sister-in-law, is there something wrong?"

Lin Luoxia smiled faintly, and without waiting for her to speak, she walked around her and into the house, "There is indeed something I want to ask my sister-in-law."

Xu Manyue glanced at her and closed the door.

"Third sister-in-law, it was you who arranged the job for the fourth brother and Jingming, right?" Lin Luoxia suddenly spoke as soon as the door closed.

Xu Manyue did not deny it, "Second sister-in-law, are you here for this?"

In fact, as long as you think about it, everyone will guess in this direction.

The only person in the Shen family who has the ability to arrange jobs for people is Shen Jingming.

After all, her job was initially thanks to Shen Jingming's help.

Lin Luoxia raised her eyes to look at Xu Manyue, walked up to her and took her hand, "Third sister-in-law, if you and Jingming can help Jianping, can you also help your second brother?"

"Your second brother and Jingming have been close since childhood. You can't just help the fourth brother, right?"

"Back then, Jingming was the one who voluntarily gave up his place in the army."

Xu Manyue was stunned for a moment, but the first two times Shen Jingming was at home, she didn't notice how good the relationship between Shen Laoer and him was. On the contrary, Shen Jingming was more close to Shen Jianping.

Seeing that she was still silent, Lin Luoxia continued to hold her hand, "Third sister-in-law, Jingming probably hasn't told you about this. At the beginning, Jingming and your second brother actually met the criteria for joining the army. But there was only one spot, and in the end, mother made the decision and let the two brothers decide for themselves."

"Later, it was your second brother who gave up his place, so Jingming was able to join the army."

Xu Manyue understood Lin Luoxia's underlying meaning, which was simply that Shen Jingming owed Shen Laoer, and they had to compensate him.

Let's not talk about the truth of the matter, whether it is what Lin Luoxia said. Even if it is so, it was Shen Lao Er who voluntarily gave up the quota, so Shen Jingming cannot be blamed.

Not to mention compensation.

Xu Manyue sighed, "Second sister-in-law, this... probably won't work."
