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

After more than a month of hard work, most of the seeds in the team were finally planted.

Next I can have a good rest for a while and don’t have to work as hard as I have these days.

However, in order to prevent someone from being extremely hungry, they dug the seeds in the ground regardless of the consequences.

Therefore, Hong Quan and Accountant Guo discussed it and decided to have the few remaining young and strong laborers in the team work in groups of two every night to guard the fields, and pay them full work points for one night.

Families with labor force are naturally very happy.

Now that they have free time, there is basically no way to earn work points. In this way, they can not only protect the grain that everyone has worked hard to grow, but also earn work points. Naturally, they are willing to do so.

But those families who don’t have young labor force are not happy.

Not having many work points means that they will basically not get much when food is distributed at the end of the year. Now the relief food is almost gone, and they have to go hungry again. It is a question whether they can survive this winter.

After hearing the news, the old lady became depressed and sighed.

Now Jianping has gone to the city to work as an apprentice. His monthly salary is barely enough to cover his food, and he has to rely on subsidies from his family. He doesn't know when this will end.

The third son’s wife is pregnant again. This is the first child for the young couple, so nutrition and other aspects must be taken into consideration.

Fortunately, the Shen family still has two sons, so they will definitely get more work points than other families in the future, and they will also be able to get more grain at the end of the year.

The third child would send money and tickets back home every month. No matter how life was at home, it was much better than most families.

night.

The old lady went to Xu Manyue's room, took out a boiled egg from her pocket and put it in her hand.

"Mom cooked this especially for you, eat it quickly and don't let your sister-in-law and the others find out."

Xu Manyue was stunned for a moment, touching the still warm egg in her hand, and a warm feeling surged in her heart.

"Thank you, mother."

She knew that the old lady secretly gave her money, tickets, and eggs because of the baby in her belly, but for a family like the Shen family, it was already quite good.

The old lady's eyes fell on her belly, and her brows softened a little.

"It's not easy for a woman to be pregnant. There's famine everywhere right now, and there's only so much I can do. But I can still give you some special meals every now and then, and subsidize you privately."

"After deducting the twelve pounds of flour I gave to the fourth child to become his apprentice, there's still some left at home. Mom will make noodles for you someday."

Xu Manyue quickly shook her head, "Mom, no need. We only have that little white flour left at home. You'd better keep it. I'm in good health and don't need any supplements."

This was the truth. She cooked her own special meals every day, changing up the ingredients. Add to that the two pills the system had rewarded her with, and her health couldn't have been better.

Apart from occasional morning sickness, there were almost no other reactions.

The old lady raised her hand to interrupt her, "Mother is giving you special treatment in private, mainly because of the baby in your belly. You look so thin and weak, you will definitely suffer when giving birth in the future. While you are still young, take good care of your body. It will be good for both you and the baby."

"Don't refuse this. The subsidy I gave you privately was some white flour I had hidden away. It has nothing to do with my family."

Since the old lady said so, Xu Manyue had no choice but to agree.

She thought to herself that she would get something to take good care of the old lady's health.

After all, she is old now, and because she has been working so hard for so many days, her health is indeed not as good as before. It would be bad if something happened.

……

As soon as Xu Manyue got off work, she heard voices and laughter coming from inside the house.

She walked into the yard and took a look.

It was Mrs. Wu and Liu Minghua who came over. They were sitting next to the old lady, chatting with her, and the three of them laughed from time to time.

"Aunt, mother, look, my third cousin's wife is off work. I'm going to talk to her, so I won't chat with you anymore."

When Shen Minghua saw Xu Manyue coming back, her eyes lit up and she ran straight towards her.

Mrs. Wu joked, "Look, sister-in-law, it's still the young people who can chat. Minghua thinks about Manyue every day, saying that her third cousin is beautiful and capable, and she wants to learn from her."

The old lady smiled and was about to speak when she suddenly saw Shen Minghua rushing directly towards Xu Manyue. From her point of view, if she was not careful, she would knock her down.

Her face turned pale and she stood up suddenly, "Minghua, your sister-in-law is pregnant, be careful not to hurt her."

Xu Manyue was almost frightened when she saw the person who suddenly pounced on her, but fortunately she quickly dodged to the side.

Shen Minghua was also frightened when she heard the old lady's words. She quickly stopped what she was doing, "Third cousin, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to. I didn't know you were pregnant."

At this time, Mrs. Shen and Lin Luoxia were also stunned by the news that Xu Manyue was pregnant.

Mrs. Shen strode to Xu Manyue's side and looked her up and down.

"Third sister-in-law, are you okay? We were scared to death just now."

Xu Manyue shook her head. She reacted quickly and dodged in time, so nothing happened.

Mrs. Shen breathed a sigh of relief, then turned to look at Shen Minghua with a cold face, "What do you mean it wasn't intentional? I see you did it on purpose. You're deaf at such a young age, didn't you hear what my mother-in-law said?"

"He kept throwing himself at people and still had the nerve to say he didn't do it on purpose. Who would believe him?"

Shen Minghua's face turned slightly pale, and her eyes reddened, "I really didn't mean it."

At this time, the old lady and Mrs. Wu also ran over.

Mrs. Wu saw that her daughter was terrified and felt extremely distressed. She quickly patted Shen Minghua on the back and said soothingly, "It's okay, it's okay. It's not like Minghua did it on purpose."

"Zhao Di, please stop talking about her."

Mrs. Shen was furious when she heard this. "Mom, listen to what they said. If Third Sister-in-law hadn't reacted just now, wouldn't the baby in her belly be in danger?"

"This is the first child of the third brother and his wife. If something happens, how are we going to explain it to the third brother?"

Her child was killed in this way. These people are so vicious.
