The well I found halfway up the mountain a few days ago has also dried up. The rivers in the village have all dried up, and now there is only a little water in the well at home.

Apart from drinking it, they basically don't dare to touch the water in it.

This new daughter-in-law just came home and she wasted all the water in the house. She is such a spendthrift.

Xu Manyue brought up half a bucket of water, but before she could do anything, Mrs. Shen rushed over and snatched the half bucket of water away like a hen protecting her chicks.

"Hey, Third Sister-in-law, what are you doing?"

"You don't know how expensive firewood, rice, oil, and salt are until you run the household. There are people dying of thirst outside, and some even fall to their death trying to get a sip of water in the middle of the night."

Xu Manyue instantly guessed the identity of the person in front of her, and knew that this person had misunderstood her. She explained, "Sister-in-law, I just want to get some water to wet the handkerchief."

“It doesn’t take much water.”

She was covered in sticky goo and it was unbearable.

Mrs. Shen looked Xu Manyue up and down, sighed softly, and suddenly realized that last night was the wedding night of the young couple, and they were so careless and had no sense of propriety.

"Bring your basin over here."

Xu Manyue picked up the basin on the ground and handed it to her.

She knew that there was a water shortage everywhere, but she didn't know that she couldn't even wipe her body just because there was no water.

Mrs. Shen picked up the bucket and poured a little water into her basin, just enough to wet the bottom of the basin.

"Third sister-in-law, you are a new daughter-in-law. As the eldest sister-in-law, I have to tell you something in advance. Not everything in this house can be moved, especially now when there is a water shortage. There is not much water in our well."

"You must not touch the water in here anymore."

Xu Manyue put the handkerchief into the basin, and all the water in the basin was absorbed, leaving the handkerchief only a little wet.

Not to mention wiping your body, I'm afraid it will be dry if you just wipe it with a handkerchief.

She sighed and looked again at the woman who was guarding the bucket tightly. "Sister-in-law, can you pour some more water into the basin?"

Anything else would be fine, but the strange feeling on her body was too obvious, she really couldn't stand it.

Mrs. Shen glanced at the towel that was not yet wet, rolled her eyes, poured some water into the basin, and started talking.

"Hey, Third Sister-in-law, how could a country girl be as spoiled as you? If someone didn't know you, they'd think you were the daughter of a capitalist. It's a good thing I saw it just now. If mother had seen it, who knows what she would have said to you."

Xu Manyue was so angry that she laughed. She stepped forward and snatched the bucket from Mrs. Shen's hand, poured some water into her own basin, just enough to wet the handkerchief.

"Sister-in-law, let me do it. I'll do my own thing, so that you won't accuse me of being the eldest daughter of a capitalist on the first day I come in."

"What are you doing? What are you doing? Are you just going to grab it?" Mrs. Shen was stunned for a moment, then rushed forward to grab the bucket back.

Xu Manyue took the lead and poured the remaining water in the bucket back into the well. She threw the empty bucket into Mrs. Shen's arms and waved with a smile:

"Sister-in-law, if you want it, I'll give it to you. I'm leaving now."

After saying that, before anyone could react, she picked up the basin, turned around and went into the house, closing the door tightly behind her.

Mrs. Shen, who had not yet reacted, subconsciously caught the empty bucket. After the person entered the house, she came to her senses and stomped her feet fiercely.

Ahhh, she was so angry that she met such a person so early in the morning.

inside the house.

Xu Manyue took off her clothes, took a wet handkerchief, and wiped her body bit by bit.

At this moment, she felt that her body belonged to her

Suddenly she thought of something...

Xu Manyue touched her stomach. She was starving now. The two of them had such a passionate sex last night. There couldn't be anything here.

No, no, absolutely not.

Just thinking about the fact that when people were starving to death everywhere, she was still pregnant with a child or had a child to burden her.

In that case, every day I would have to think of ways to not only keep myself alive, but also keep my child alive. I might even have to give up my own life for the sake of my child's survival...

Such a situation is terrifying just to think about.

This is not only irresponsible to the children, but also to yourself. Both adults and children will feel uncomfortable.

Xu Manyue shook her head violently. No, absolutely not. She absolutely couldn't have a child at this time.

I have made up my mind and I think I should find some time to discuss it with Shen Jingming.

After wiping for a long time, the water in the basin was gone and my body became fresh and clean.

Xu Manyue found a clean piece of clothing and was about to put it on.

Shen Jingming pushed the door open and walked in, just in time to see the woman's naked and smooth back, with some ambiguous purple marks on it.

That's what he left over from last night.

Shen Jingming paused, looked away and turned around.

"I have to go back to the army tomorrow, so I can't go back with you."

Xu Manyue buttoned the last button of her clothes without saying anything or looking at Shen Jingming.
