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

Mrs. Shen hid in the house, looking out through the crack in the window. She couldn't help shaking her head and cursing inwardly as she looked.

Tsk tsk tsk, in broad daylight, they kissed directly, the second brother didn’t even give Lin Luoxia any face at all.

She pulled Xu Manyue over and lowered her voice, "Third sister-in-law, look quickly, your second sister-in-law is back with the child. I wonder if she saw those two kissing each other?"

Xu Manyue lowered her head to make clothes. When she heard this, she looked out the window and found that there was no one in the yard.

Mrs. Shen withdrew her gaze with some reluctance, walked over and sat down opposite her.

"You know what, if I were the second in command, I would also choose Wang Xiancao."

After all, Wang Xiancao was well-known in the team for her ability to give birth to sons. When her husband was still alive, she gave birth to three sons for him in one go.

Now Wang Xiancao is pregnant with her second child, and it is most likely a son, or maybe more than one.

Xu Manyue pursed her lips, said nothing, lowered her head and continued to make clothes for the baby in her belly.

She had specially picked out this fabric from the system mall. It looked unremarkable, no different from the ordinary fabrics sold in the supply and marketing cooperatives, but it felt incredibly soft and was perfect for children.

As for the matter between Shen Lao Er and Lin Luoxia, the two were not separated in the previous life, and it is probably the same in this life.

Judging from the old lady's attitude towards Wang Xiancao today, she should have known about the two of them a long time ago.

Seeing that Xu Manyue didn't say anything, Mrs. Shen's eyes fell on her belly, and then on the small dress that she was halfway through making.

She waved her hand and said, "Oh, Third Sister-in-law, you should have told me earlier that you wanted to make clothes for the child. Cloth coupons are hard to come by these days. Even if you save up all year round, you can't make a single piece of clothing."

"Why are you wasting your time? I have quite a few of them. They were all used by Xiaoshan back then. I washed them clean and put them on the top shelf of that cabinet."

"Take it out now and let it bask in the sun. You can still use it. Third sister-in-law, I'll get it for you now." After saying that, she stood up and prepared to go back to the house.

When Xu Manyue heard this, she was stunned at first, then she was so scared that she quickly grabbed her.

"Sister-in-law, forget it. I have new fabrics here. No need to trouble you."

Xiaoshan is already fifteen or sixteen years old. How can the cloth that has been used for more than ten years be usable? Even if it can be used, she is reluctant to let her children use the cloth that has been used by others.

You can say she dislikes it or that she doesn't know how to save, but she has the ability to give her children the best things.

Mrs. Shen thought she was afraid of bothering her, so she waved her hand and smiled, "It's okay, it's not a bother. I was planning to save it for the next child."

"But you know, I can't have children now, so I won't use it. I might as well use it for the baby in your belly. I can't let it go to waste."

"There are also diapers. I washed them and put them away. They can definitely still be used. I'll give them to you. It can also help you and Jingming save some money and tickets."

Xu Manyue pulled her back and stopped her from going, "Sister-in-law, it's better not to go."

"I have some cloth coupons here, enough to make clothes for the child. I also have some unused clothes that can be used to make diapers for the child."

She couldn't even accept clothes, let alone diapers that had been there for over a decade.

I don’t know how many bacteria are on it. Children’s bodies are fragile. What if something happens if they use those things?

She would rather spend more money and tickets than save on this.

Mrs. Shen finally understood that the other party was unwilling to accept it. In that case, she should stop trying to please the other party.

She looked at the brand new fabrics in Xu Manyue's basket and curled her lips. "Okay, those are all old ones. It's better not to give them to the baby in your belly, or else it will cause any problems."

"Since you don't want it, I'll give it to someone else."

After saying that, she turned and left.

Those were difficult years, cloth coupons were hard to come by, and there was little money. Most rural families had seven or eight children, all wearing the same patched clothes and pants.

She doesn't want it, but there are plenty of people who do.

If you make some changes, you might be able to make a nice piece of clothing out of it.

Xu Manyue knew that this person was angry, but she didn't intend to give in on this matter, even if it was just for show.

She sat down again and continued to make clothes for the child.

Diapers that have been used for more than ten years are still kept. No matter how clean they are washed, over time, who knows how many mosquitoes, rats and ants have crawled on them.

After making clothes for a while, it was getting late.

Xu Manyue looked up and around. It was supposed to be Lin Luoxia's turn to cook today, but she hadn't entered the kitchen yet.

After Shen Qingqing finished feeding the chickens and rabbits, she waited and waited but no one came to cook. She ran in and walked over to Xu Manyue. "Third Aunt, how about I go call Second Aunt?"

It's her turn to cook tomorrow. It's not her turn to cook today, and she doesn't want to help others.

But if it's time for dinner and her grandma doesn't see any food, she will definitely get angry again.

Xu Manyue stood up and looked through the window into Lin Luoxia's room. The door was closed and she didn't know if she was still there.

"Forget it, let's wait a little longer."

Shen Qingqing nodded and said, "Then I'll go to the back mountain and fetch two buckets of water."

Now, she usually does the work of fetching water and chopping firewood at home, and she also takes turns to cook. As for Shen Baozhu, after she finishes school, she is responsible for sweeping the floor at home, and sometimes she also has to wash the clothes for the whole family.

But her second sister-in-law loved her and always helped her in private.

As soon as Shen Qingqing left, Lin Luoxia's door opened.

She walked out of the house, nodded to Xu Manyue, and went back into the kitchen.

Shen Lao Er ran in from outside and strode into the kitchen.

Xu Manyue could vaguely hear Shen Lao Er whispering something to comfort someone through a wall, but because there was still some distance between them, she couldn't hear clearly. She could only vaguely hear something about son and woman.

At this time, Shen Baozhu sneaked in, stuck to the wall near the kitchen, and listened carefully to the sounds coming from inside.

After a long time, she ran to Xu Manyue again with red eyes, tears streaming down her face. However, considering the two people in the kitchen, she did not cry loudly, but sobbed softly.

"Aunt, I'm not my father's only child anymore."

"I'm going to have a little brother."

Moreover, this younger brother was not born from her mother's womb.

At the age of seven or eight, she already knew more about things in the countryside, such as her father's affairs with many women outside, and her mother was willing not to have children for her...

Xu Manyue paused while sewing the clothes. She looked up at the kitchen. There were still sounds coming from inside, which seemed to be quarrels, or soft coaxing.

It seems that the two are still discussing what happened today.

She thought for a moment, took out a piece of candy from her bosom, peeled off the candy wrapper and put it into Shen Baozhu's mouth. "Baozhu, go back to your room and do your homework first. These are matters between adults. Let your mother and father handle them themselves."

Shen Baozhu wanted to say something with red eyes, but Xu Manyue interrupted her, put down the work in her hands, stood up and pulled her out.
