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

In the blink of an eye, it is the end of summer and gradually entering autumn.

The corn and soybeans that everyone had worked so hard to plant gradually grew.

Because they were planted late and the weather was hot and dry, the corn and soybean seedlings grew very poorly, and some of the leaves even withered and yellowed.

Fortunately, Hong Quan has been organizing the strong laborers in the team to carry water to irrigate the fields every once in a while.

They fertilize the crops in the fields and hire people to guard the fields to prevent anyone from stealing the crops.

Therefore, from a distance, the fields are green, waiting for the crops to mature.

Whether she has something to do or not, the old lady always likes to walk to the fields full of corn. Not only her, but many elderly women and children in the village like to look at the green in the fields.

Xu Manyue came back from school and didn't see the old lady and Shen Dasao. Shen Qingqing came out of the kitchen and said, "Aunt San, my grandma and my mother have gone to the fields again."

"They said they were guarding the farmland to prevent anyone from doing harm."

"But who would do anything bad? These are what we all worked so hard to grow, and the captain even hired people to guard the fields, so there shouldn't be anyone who would do anything bad."

Shen Qingqing was a little confused.

Xu Manyue thought for a moment and said, "Maybe he's afraid of other people."

It is only 1961, and the great famine has not yet passed. Some people are still fleeing famine and some are still starving to death.

The situation in the neighboring brigades was similar to that of theirs. Basically, only a few elderly people and women were left, and the rest had fled the famine.

Now that their brigade has finally grown crops, it is inevitable that people from the neighboring brigades will have some bad intentions.

Shen Qingqing's eyes fell on Xu Manyue's already visibly pregnant belly, feeling a little worried.

"Aunt, how about I accompany you to and from get off work from now on? You're pregnant now, what if something unexpected happens?"

Xu Manyue lowered her head and touched her pregnant belly, then smiled and shook her head. "Thank you, Qingqing, but it's no use. The students I taught have already graduated and have all been admitted to junior high school."

"So, I have asked the principal for leave and will not have to go to school anymore."

Counting the months, her belly is already more than six months old, and it's time to rest.

She just went to collect her salary today. Together with this month's salary of 18.5 yuan and an extra month's salary given by the principal, she got a total of 37 yuan today.

Shen Qingqing laughed, "Really? That's great, Third Aunt, don't worry, I'll take care of you at home from now on."

She doesn't have a close relationship with the brothers and sisters in the family. If they were brothers and sisters born by her third aunt, she would definitely treat them well.

In the evening, the old lady and Mrs. Shen had not returned yet. The meal was ready and the whole family sat together waiting for them to eat.

Seeing that it was getting later and later, Boss Shen became a little anxious. He patted the table and stood up to walk out, "I'm going to go look for my mother."

Shen Lao Er also followed and said, "Brother, I'll go with you."

Now is a famine year and food is more important than anything else. Generally, when it is time for dinner, no one can refuse to come back to eat.

Xu Manyue looked outside the door and was a little worried, but she was pregnant and it was not convenient for her to run out to look for someone.

I can only wait at home.

Lin Luoxia on the side said, "Third sister-in-law, your belly is already more than six months old, and it looks bigger than a normal six-month belly."

"Are they twins?"

Shen Qingqing and Shen Xiaoshan are twins, a boy and a girl. The Shen family is also an example of having twins.

Xu Manyue shook her head slightly. "That's not the case. It might just be that our family's conditions are better than other families, plus Jingming sends back nutritional supplements every month."

"I've been eating a little more and my belly looks bigger than it did the other six months."

Lin Luoxia was stunned for a moment, then returned to normal and nodded, "I forgot, no one can compare to you in terms of what Jingming sends back every month."

Most people are malnourished now, especially pregnant women, who are not much better off.

But since this sister-in-law became pregnant, not only has the old lady given her special care every now and then, but her husband has also been sending money and tickets back from outside.

She also eats those ridiculously expensive nutritional supplements, so naturally she is not lacking in nutrition.

Xu Manyue smiled faintly and stopped talking to the man.

Unfortunately, she doesn't want to talk, but others don't seem to think so.

Lin Luoxia glanced at Xu Manyue and sighed, "Third sister-in-law, I encountered something yesterday when I was dealing with some women's issues in the brigade."

"You should know the Guo family. Guo Yougen is the second person in our brigade to join the army after Jingming. Although he has only been in the army for a few years, I heard that he found a young nurse in the army."

"But he has a wife, Chunxiang, at home. Chunxiang gave birth to a son for him and took care of his family."

"Because of this, Chunxiang threw a huge tantrum yesterday, crying and saying she wanted to go to the army to ask him for an explanation. The old couple from the Guo family wouldn't agree, so they sent me and the captain over."

"I hope we can dissuade Chunxiang from thinking that."

Xu Manyue was stunned for a moment, "Then how was this matter handled?"

Chunxiang is of the same age as her, and she had a good relationship with her before she married into the Shen family.

Guo Yougen joined the army three years ago. Before that, he seemed to be an honest man and was wholeheartedly pursuing Chunxiang.

Later, it took a lot of effort to finally marry her.

A complicated expression flashed in Lin Luoxia's eyes. "What else can we do? She's a rural woman with a child, and her family has died in this famine."

"Now I can only accept my fate."

"The old couple of the Guo family said that they didn't even get a marriage certificate, so they weren't considered husband and wife. If Chunxiang went to the army and caused trouble, the Guo family would no longer recognize her and her son."

"If Chunxiang behaves herself, they will let her stay in the Guo family and give her a place to live."

Xu Manyue pursed her lips, and after a moment of silence, she said, "So, Chunxiang accepted her fate for the sake of the child?"

She remembered that before Chunxiang got married, she was the most aggressive girl in the team. She worked efficiently and had a clear distinction between love and hate.

At that time she said that if she was going to find someone, she would find someone who loved her. If the other person didn't like her anymore, she would make a fuss and make the other person lose half his life.

Lin Luoxia nodded, then shook her head and said, "She should accept her fate. She already has a child now. Where else can she go except the Guo family?"

"But what man doesn't cheat? They've been apart for too long, so it's normal for a normal man to be unable to resist."

When saying this, Lin Luoxia's eyes were always on Xu Manyue.

The implication is already obvious.
