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

Xu Manyue nodded and gave Meng Xiao some advice.

"If you want to eat something delicious in the future, it's best to avoid them and not let them find out."

There is a saying that goes, "You can judge a person by his appearance but not by his heart." These two grown men always rely on their status as school teachers. They eat Meng Xiao's food again and again, and it is obvious that it is not a good thing.

Meng Xiao is alone in this place. If these two people have any bad intentions at any time, it will be a big trouble.

"Sister Man Yue, don't worry, I will pay attention next time."

According to the habits of these two people, they should not have come back at this time, but unexpectedly they came back halfway, which made them discover this matter.

Meng Xiao didn't take Xu Manyue's words to heart. She was eating her own food, so why should she care about those outsiders?

"By the way, Sister Manyue, Shen Jianping came to see me again the day before yesterday and stuffed a boiled egg into my hand, but I refused and told him not to come to see me again."

"He seems to be in a bad mood. Did something happen?"

Xu Manyue shook her head. "Nothing. He's going to the city to be an apprentice soon. He probably wanted to say goodbye to you before he left."

"Don't worry about it. He won't bother you again."

As for the egg, the old lady cooked it specially for him, hoping that it would nourish his body and enable him to study well with Wang Lai Fu in the city.

But unexpectedly, he secretly gave the egg to Meng Xiao again.

Unfortunately, Shen Jianping didn’t know that Meng Xiao had never liked boiled eggs since he was a child.

……

at night.

Xu Manyue knocked on the old lady's door and told her about the child.

"What, Third Wife, are you telling the truth?"

The old lady was stunned at first when she heard this, and then became excited. She held Xu Manyue's hand tightly and asked questions, but her eyes were fixed on her belly.

Xu Manyue lowered her head and touched her belly, which was not yet visible, and smiled, "Yes, it's true."

"I just found out."

The old lady couldn't help but stare at her belly for several days, her lips trembling as she moved, "Good, good, now the third child will finally have an heir."

No one knew that ever since the third child went to the army, she would sometimes dream of a bloody scene where the third child was gone, not even a child left.

Every time she had this kind of dream, she would suddenly wake up in fright, and her heart would ache.

Now that the third son’s wife is pregnant, even if... even if something happens to the third son in the future, he won’t be left without someone to burn incense for him.

Xu Manyue looked at the old lady's slightly red eyes and was a little surprised. She quickly took out a handkerchief to wipe her tears.

It's a good thing that she is pregnant, why is she crying?

The old lady raised her hand to wipe away her tears and did not tell Xu Manyue about those dreams.

Dreams are always the opposite. She had so many dreams, but the third brother was still fine and had even climbed to the position of deputy regiment commander in the army.

Anyone who hears this will say that he has a bright future.

"Mom is just excited, too excited." The old lady wiped away her tears and smiled.

Suddenly, she remembered another thing and hurriedly asked, "By the way, has your third brother written a letter?"

The young couple has been married for more than a year and now they finally have a child. If the third child knew about this, he would definitely be very happy.

Xu Manyue pursed her lips and said, "I have written it. I went to the post office in town today and mailed the letter. I estimate it will take him half a month to see it."

She and Shen Jingming had reached a consensus before, tacitly agreeing not to have children during this year of famine.

However, the night he left, he was too demanding and inevitably got involved.

Unexpectedly, an accident happened. I don’t know what he thought when he knew the news.

The old lady smiled and nodded. "Just write it. The third child will definitely be very happy when he knows it."

Among these sons, only the third son made her feel more guilty the older he grew.

If his family had been poor, he would not have been unable to finish high school and would have chosen another path to join the army.

Being a soldier these days is no joke. It means going to the battlefield with real guns and swords, risking your life. Those who can survive are lucky.

When she first learned that the third brother had gone to the battlefield, she suffered from insomnia every night and dared not close her eyes to sleep, for fear that she would hear the bad news as soon as she woke up.

To put it bluntly, she had already thought that the third brother would die in the battle, and she always felt sorry for him. Fortunately, he survived and is still alive and well.

Although Xu Manyue was not sure what Shen Jingming was thinking, she had some understanding of him.

She probably felt some joy, but she couldn't guess how much.

The old lady seemed to see through her thoughts and took her hand and patted it gently.

"Don't worry, Jingming may seem cold and distant, even a little unkind, but you two have been married for a year, and he is still satisfied with you, otherwise he would not have married you."

"I know my son well. If it was Xu Mingyue who married him, he would have rejected the marriage the first time he saw her."

Xu Manyue was stunned for a moment, then she laughed, "Mom, don't worry, I know."

He had said some of these words to her on their wedding night with Shen Jingming.

……

After coming out of the old lady's house, Xu Manyue had ten more yuan and two cloth coupons in her hand.

She stuffed these in privately and asked her not to let anyone else know.

Xu Manyue didn't want to accept it at first, but the old lady forced her to do so, so she had to accept it.

In fact, she basically has no expenses every month.

Shen Jingming sent her twenty yuan every month, plus her monthly salary of eighteen yuan, she earned thirty-eight yuan a month, which was more than what the average worker in the city earned.

Plus the system’s occasional extra rewards.

All in all, she already had a huge sum of money in her small treasury.

I guess no one in the entire Shen family is richer than her.

At Mrs. Wu's house.

"Mom, let me tell you, we have to build a good relationship with my aunt's family. Have you heard that my aunt has a son who is a soldier in the army and holds a high position?"

"If I can establish a good relationship with their family, and then ask my aunt and Xu Manyue to help me speak well of them, then I can go to the army to visit relatives as a family member. There are so many men in the army, and my third cousin can help me pick one."

"I will be an official's wife in the future."

"When the time comes, you, the second brother, and the third brother will also be able to enjoy the good life with me."

When Mrs. Wu heard this, she realized that this was indeed the case and her eyes lit up.

"Yes, someone told you your fortune when you were a child, saying that you were our family's golden phoenix, and that you would fly to a tree and enjoy happiness in the future."

"There's no one in this poor place who's worthy of you. Maybe my future son-in-law is actually in the army."

It seems that I have to get close to this relative no matter what.
