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

Xu Manyue originally wanted to go with them, but she was pregnant now, and she couldn't get to her second uncle's house as fast as Brother Wei Min.

By the time she arrived at her second uncle's house, he had probably already been sent to the county hospital.

So she didn't go with Xu Weimin, but went back to the house and told the old lady about it. She planned to go behind and visit her second uncle's house and her second aunt.

When the old lady heard about this, her face became serious. Among the Xu family, only Uncle Xu's family could be considered the third son's wife's family.

Ever since the third son's wife came into the family, Uncle Xu basically never comes to visit unless necessary, and never bothers them.

This was their first time coming to our house, and we didn’t expect such a big thing to happen.

"Third daughter-in-law, don't worry. You're pregnant now, so be careful. It's getting dark outside now. I'll go with you to see your second aunt. Wait for me while I get some things."

Mrs. Shen heard the noise and came out of the house. After learning about what happened, she offered to go with them. "Third sister-in-law, there is strength in numbers. I'll go with you and help you if you need anything."

"Thank you, sister-in-law."

Xu Manyue felt depressed. Her second uncle and second aunt were really good to her. If possible, she hoped they were all well.

In the year since she married into the Shen family, everyone knew that the Shen family was well-off, and some relatives wanted to come and borrow money and food.

The only exception was her second uncle and second aunt. Even if she sent them some cornmeal and sweet potatoes, they would not accept them.

Even if I accepted it, I would secretly return it to her.

Fortunately, she taught them how to grow sweet potatoes and raise rabbits, and they did a good job, and were able to barely survive during the famine years.

In a few minutes, the old lady came out with a can of malted milk, a pound of white flour, and two pounds of corn flour.

"Let's go and visit our second aunt now."

"Her two sons sent your second uncle to the county town. Now she's the only one left at home. She must be very panicked."

Mrs. Shen looked at the can of malted milk, her eyes widened, and she subconsciously asked, "Mom, why did you bring this too?"

This was sent back by the third brother last month as a supplement for the old lady. The old lady was reluctant to drink it herself and never touched it.

In addition to this, why did you also bring white flour? It looks like there is about one pound of it.

Xu Manyue was also stunned.

No one knew better than her that Shen Jingming had sent a total of two cans of malted milk to the old lady this year.

The old lady did eat some of the first can and gave some to Shen Xiaoshan privately. Now that she is pregnant, the old lady would call her into the house from time to time and make her a cup of tea.

As for the old lady herself, she rarely makes tea to drink.

"This thing is good, it will definitely nourish the body. The third daughter-in-law only has one family. She is a thoughtful person, so we can't treat her badly."

"Besides, the two families have been married for so long, and I haven't visited my second uncle and second aunt yet. Today is my first visit, so naturally I have to bring some things."

The old lady rolled her eyes at Mrs. Shen and said, "Don't make such a fuss. It's embarrassing."

Mrs. Shen still felt jealous. She had been married for so many years, but her mother-in-law had never visited her parents' home, let alone mentioned these valuable things.

But now that something has happened to the other person, and these things were bought by the third brother, she knows that she has no right to be jealous.

"Mom, I understand."

The old lady took Xu Manyue's hand and walked outside. "We have to hurry over. Your second aunt is alone at home. She must be worried about your second uncle. We can go over and keep her company."

A warm feeling welled up in Xu Manyue's heart, "Thank you, mother."

Soon, the three of them hurried and finally arrived at Uncle Xu's house.

At this time, the door was closed and the dim light inside became dimmer.

Xu Manyue went forward and knocked on the door, "Second Aunt, Second Aunt."

Inside the house, Aunt Xu, who was crying, heard the sound, quickly raised her hand to wipe the tears from her face, and then got up to open the door.

"Manyue, why are you here? Why are both my sister-in-law and my eldest sister-in-law here?"

Aunt Xu originally thought that Xu Manyue was the only one coming, but she didn't expect that there would be three people coming. She was stunned for a moment.

The old lady stepped forward and stuffed the things in her hand into Aunt Xu's arms, "Aunt, I heard that Uncle Manyue had an accident, so I brought some things to her house to nourish her uncle."

Aunt Xu subconsciously looked down, and when she saw that it was malted milk, her eyes widened in shock, and she quickly stuffed the thing back into the old lady's arms.

"No, this is too expensive, old sister-in-law, you should take it back. Rural people are in good health and don't need to replenish their bodies if they get hurt."

Most rural people have no idea how valuable malted milk is.

One time when she was shopping at the supply and marketing cooperative in the county town, she happened to see a well-dressed man who spent more than ten yuan to buy a can of this stuff.

I heard that this thing is only sold in the city, and the quantity is small, the price is expensive, and it is not easy to buy.

The old lady forcibly handed the item back. "You're being too polite. It doesn't matter if it's expensive or not. It's just for nourishing the body."

"Besides, this thing was sent back by Jingming, and Man Yue is Jingming's daughter-in-law. You are Man Yue's second uncle and second aunt, so this is as it should be."

"I've been wanting to come visit you guys for a while, but I've been busy with work lately and haven't had the time. Now I finally have some time off."

Seeing that Second Aunt Xu was still refusing, the old lady turned her head and looked at her, "Man Yue, why don't you persuade your Second Aunt quickly?"

Xu Manyue nodded and said to Second Aunt Xu, "Second Aunt, just accept it. You haven't accepted anything from me in these years. Today, this is a gift from my mother-in-law, so don't refuse it."

Mrs. Shen nodded and said, "Aunt, our two families are relatives, please accept the things."

Faced with the enthusiasm of several people, Aunt Xu could only accept it. She smiled and said, "Okay, I'll take it. You all come in and sit down."

"The house is a little messy, don't mind."

After they sat down, the old lady began to ask about Uncle Xu's situation.

Aunt Xu's eyes couldn't help but turn red when she mentioned this. She raised her hand to wipe away her tears, "I don't know what happened to him today, but he just couldn't sit still. He had to secretly run to the back mountain without telling anyone."

"There are many wild animals in the mountains behind, and the terrain is dangerous. Look, even with such a severe famine, how many people would dare to go there? But he actually went there secretly today."

"If someone from the team hadn't sneaked up the mountain today and accidentally discovered that he had broken his leg, your second uncle would probably be dead by now."
