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

……

Not long after, the aroma of food wafted from the kitchen.

Everyone in the Shen family sat together to eat.

Lin Luoxia had a calm expression, and nothing unusual could be seen.

Shen Lao Er ate quietly without saying a word. The two of them were clearly sitting together, close to each other, but one always felt that something was unusual about them today.

Mrs. Shen glanced at the two of them secretly several times, but she couldn't tell whether they had reconciled or had a quarrel.

Xu Manyue lowered her head and ate her meal, ignoring all these things. The old lady put a piece of pickled radish into her bowl and said, "Try this, it's sour and appetizing."

"Thank you, mother." Xu Manyue looked at the sour and spicy pickled radish in the bowl, she looked up and smiled.

She really likes the sour, spicy and refreshing pickles.

The pickled vegetables at home are all made by the old lady herself. For some reason, they always taste better than those made by others. Even though they are all made with the same method, she can never reproduce the taste of the old lady's.

Seeing that she enjoyed the food, the old lady couldn't help but smile. "We don't have anything good at home. Since you like pickled vegetables, I'll make some more when I have the chance and save them especially for you."

After dinner, everyone went back to the house to rest.

Lin Luoxia suddenly called out to Xu Manyue, "Third sister-in-law, did you and your eldest sister-in-law see this today?"

Perhaps, not only the two of them saw it, but the whole family knew about it.

Xu Manyue paused and shook her head.

She was in the house making clothes for my child and didn't see anything.

Lin Luoxia stared at her for several times, not knowing whether she believed it or not.

After a moment, she said, "Thank you for taking the orb out just now."

Some things were enough for her to bear alone. As for the child, if possible, she wanted her to be safe and sound. After all, if nothing unexpected happened, she would only have this one child in her life.

Xu Manyue sighed. Adults’ affairs really shouldn’t involve children.

"Second sister-in-law, I'm a little tired. I'll go back to the house first."

Lin Luoxia's eyes fell on her belly. After a moment of silence, she suddenly smiled and said, "Look at me, I forgot that you are pregnant. You can't stand like this all the time."

"Okay, go back and rest early."

The word "also" made Xu Manyue react all of a sudden. It seemed that this person knew that Wang Xiancao was pregnant.

According to the basic information provided by the system, Lin Luoxia and her husband did not divorce in their previous life. As for the child of Wang Xiancao and Shen Laoer, she was not sure. Maybe she gave birth to it, or maybe she didn't.

After returning to the house.

Xu Manyue calculated the time. It had been almost ten days since she sent the letter to Shen Jingming. She estimated that he should have received the letter soon.

The child is about three months old now, and we can prepare clothes, suspenders, and other shoes, socks, and hats.

The family did not have enough cloth coupons, so she went to the system mall and bought some soft fabrics. She could use them to make things for her children when she was free.

In the blink of an eye, another few days passed.

In the past few days, Wang Xiancao came to the house from time to time. I was a little hesitant before and always found a reason when I came.

But these days, she didn't hide it at all and stayed to have dinner with us several times.

After a while, most people in the Shen family had complaints about her.

The food at home didn't fall from the sky. Even Mrs. Wu and the others never stayed for a meal. Why could Wang Xiancao stay for a meal several times?

Especially Boss Shen, he didn't know about the child yet and just thought that Wang Xiancao was thick-skinned, so he couldn't bear it anymore and waited for Wang Xiancao to leave.

He said directly, "Mom, why do you let a stranger eat in our house?"

"We don't even have enough food to feed ourselves. You've never been like this before. What's wrong with you these past few days?"

Could it be that Wang Xiancao is some relative of theirs?

No, that's impossible. Mrs. Wu is the wife of his second uncle, and his mother has not been very nice to them. They have settled down in the brigade for so many days, and his mother has never given those people any food.

The old lady glanced at Shen Lao Er and snorted coldly, "You shouldn't ask me this question, you should ask Lao Er. He knows this matter best."

Boss Shen suddenly reacted and stared at Boss Shen, "You didn't bring that woman in, did you?"

"Good job, you second brother, you've even brought your women home. You've grown up!"

In those days, people were starving to death everywhere, and the Shen family could only barely avoid starvation, but they were not yet at the point of having enough to eat, let alone having to help an outsider.

Shen Lao Er subconsciously glanced at Lin Luoxia beside him, and saw that she had no expression and her face looked a little unnatural, "Brother, it won't happen again in the future, don't worry."

"What do you mean you can't? I tell you, I don't care if you play outside, but if it involves your family, I will never let you go." Boss Shen glared at his younger brother fiercely, and then looked at Lin Luoxia.

I became increasingly dissatisfied with my sister-in-law.

She can't even control a man. If I had known earlier, I should have stopped the second son from marrying this woman.

Shen Lao Er fell silent and said no more.

After dinner, the old lady called Xu Manyue to her room privately and gave her a boiled egg.

The other members of the Shen family can only eat one egg a month, but Xu Manyue can eat two a week, which means eight eggs a month.

Although the old lady didn't make it public that she was giving her special treatment in private, other people were not fools and naturally noticed something.

But this person happened to be Xu Manyue. If it were anyone else, this matter would definitely be exposed.

"My third wife, why is your second brother so careless? Now that things have developed to this point, he is so relaxed, while I, an old woman, am worried about this every day."

After the old lady watched Xu Manyue finish the boiled egg, she sighed several times and her mood became depressed.

"Sometimes, I don't know what has happened to me. My old man and I are clearly not the kind of playboys, but when it comes to the second child, why do we suddenly change? If he didn't look like a member of the Shen family, I would almost suspect that my child was swapped."

Xu Manyue thought for a moment and reached out to hold the old lady's hand, pursing her lips. "Mom, what are you going to do about this?"

What she had thought before was correct. The old lady had indeed guessed that Wang Xiancao was pregnant, otherwise she would not have allowed her to come to her house and stay for dinner so many times.

"What else can we do? The couple is not in a hurry, so why should we worry about them?" The old lady was very angry.

"If it really doesn't work, then let Wang Xiancao marry into the family. Maybe she can even add a big fat boy to our Shen family."

"It just so happens that the second child is almost thirty years old and still doesn't have a son."
