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

Mrs. Shen waved her hand. "Forget it, let them deal with it on their own. They don't care about it anyway, so what can we do?"

Whoever treats her as his younger sister-in-law is the same. She doesn't have a good relationship with Lin Luoxia. Let them do whatever they want with this matter. She doesn't want to care about it anyway.

Xu Manyue picked up the steamed sweet potatoes from the big iron pot one by one and placed them in a basin. "If you don't go to look for your second brother, what will happen to mother?"

The old lady asked her to come back to call people, not to be lazy.

"Let Mom watch over there first. I'll go find her after I finish eating. I can just go over to her casually then."

Mrs. Shen smelled the fragrance of sweet potatoes, and her stomach suddenly started to growl. She couldn't help but reach out to take one.

Xu Manyue quickly reached out to stop her, "No, sister-in-law, you can't eat it now. Mother has set a limit on the amount of steamed sweet potatoes for each meal. If you eat it, I'll be able to tell at a glance that there's not enough."

Especially since she was the one cooking today, don’t let people think that she was stealing food.

Mrs. Shen smiled awkwardly and withdrew her hand somewhat unnaturally. "Look at me, I was so hungry that I almost fainted. I forgot about this matter for a moment."

She changed the subject, stared at the cornmeal porridge that had just been cooked, and swallowed.

"But sweet potatoes are easy to spot, but this porridge is not. Sister-in-law, can you let me taste a few bites secretly?"

Mrs. Shen raised her hand and promised, "Just a small taste. I promise not to let anyone find out."

Since I don’t have to work these days, the family’s food rations have returned to their previous amounts. We can only eat one meal a day, and each meal consists of only half a bowl of porridge.

But the two brothers of the Shen family and Xu Manyue are exceptions because they have to go to work.

What is being made now is the food rations for the three of them, and there is no portion for Mrs. Shen.

Xu Manyue lowered her head and continued to cut a handful of wild vegetables, putting them into the cornmeal porridge that was almost cooked. She shook her head when she heard this.

"Sister-in-law, I don't dare to believe what you said anymore."

"You said the same thing when I was cooking last time. If I hadn't noticed it in time, you would have eaten all my rations."

That little bit of food was nothing to her.

But Wang Zhaodi's behavior still disgusted her.

Thinking of this, Mrs. Shen's face felt hot. She looked away embarrassedly and softened her tone.

"Third sister-in-law, I really didn't mean to do that. I was so hungry that I accidentally took a few more bites."

"I definitely won't do it this time. Can you just let me have another taste, please?"

Seeing that Xu Manyue ignored her, she simply took a spoon herself.

While the other person turned around to wipe the table, Mrs. Shen quickly scooped a small spoonful of cornmeal porridge from the pot and ran over quickly.

After the person had completely disappeared, Xu Manyue turned around and looked at the porridge in the pot.

This time the man learned his lesson and didn't steal much.

It didn't matter that her portion was a little smaller, because she didn't like it either. The cornmeal was too coarse, and even after cooking it was difficult to swallow in one bite. It was too rough in the throat.

But since the whole family eats this, she can't show it, so she can only eat some every day.

……

On the other side, Mrs. Shen finally managed to steal a bite of food. After the porridge cooled down, she licked the porridge in the spoon clean, and even the spoon was licked shiny by her.

Unfortunately, my stomach is still rumbling, it feels empty and I’m so hungry that my stomach hurts.

Mrs. Shen touched her belly, looked up at the scorching sun in the sky, sat down under the eaves and sighed.

Oh, I don’t know when these days of not having enough to eat and not having enough clothes to wear will end.

Wang family.

The old lady waited and waited, but her second son never came, and she became extremely anxious.

Wang Xiancao had woken up. She kept covering her face and crying, tears streaming down her face.

"Auntie, what should I do? My pregnancy is big and my husband refuses to admit it. You can't really let me die with the child."

"Women should understand better how difficult it is for women. Auntie, please help me..."

Hearing the crying, the old lady's head began to hurt, and she raised her hand to rub her eyebrows.

"Xiancao, you can't say that. When you were with the second brother, you already knew that he had a wife and children at home."

"Look at you, you got pregnant with his child without any name or status, what's the point? Are you doing this to the second son's wife? You are clearly not doing the right thing."

"Now that you've had a child, Luoxia is the victim. If you have any conscience, you wouldn't force a couple to divorce while she's pregnant."

Wang Xiancao's body stiffened, then returned to normal. She continued to wipe her tears and cried, "Auntie, I can't help it. Who made this child come so suddenly?"

The old lady wanted to say something when Shen Lao Er walked in from outside.

He looked at Wang Xiancao and paused for a moment, then said calmly, "Abort the child. I'll go to the hospital with you tomorrow."

"Shen Jianyun, you...what did you say?"

Wang Xiancao thought she had misheard. She stared at the man in front of her with wide eyes, and her palms were pinched to pieces without her noticing.

He clearly wanted a son so much, but now he wanted her to have an abortion...

After hearing this, the old lady was stunned for a moment and felt uncomfortable.

But she said nothing, sighed and walked out.

Only Shen Laoer and Wang Xiancao were left in the house.

I don’t know what they said in the end, but Wang Xiancao stopped making a fuss and agreed to have an abortion.

After Shen Laoer came out of the house, the old lady was standing at the door waiting for him.

"Mom, I'm sorry for causing you so much worry."

The old lady glared at Shen Lao Er, then reached out and twisted his ear fiercely. "What kind of evil did your father and I have to endure? How could we give birth to a scoundrel like you?"

"I asked you to have a son with your wife, but you refused. Instead, you got this other woman pregnant."

"I'm telling you, don't fool around outside anymore. If I find out again, you'll get out of the house and I'll pretend you're not my son."

Shen Lao Er did not resist, but silently endured the pain from his ears.

"Mom, don't worry, it won't happen again.

The old lady then withdrew her hand and sighed, "It's no use saying you won't do it anymore. Don't blame me for being harsh. If you really want to spend your whole life with Lin Luoxia, then give birth to a son as soon as possible."

"So that you won't regret it later and cause this kind of trouble again.

She finally realized that this man wanted both a wife and a son to carry on the family line.

But there is no such good thing in the world where you can get whatever you want.

Shen Lao Er remained silent for a long time.
