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

"There's no room for negotiation today. Let's do it this way. Whoever is capable can go and study."

After the old lady said this, no one in Shen dared to say anything.

Under the instructions of old lady Xu Manyue, two test papers were prepared and given to Shen Qingqing and Shen Xiaoshan.

Let the two of them take an exam in front of everyone, and whoever gets the higher score will be allowed to go to school.

Soon, the exam was over and Xu Manyue graded the two students' test papers, but the results were unexpected.

Looking at the two identical scores, she was slightly stunned.

The old lady noticed that her expression was not right. She cleared her throat and said, "Third wife, announce the results."

All of a sudden, everyone in the Shen family looked at Xu Manyue.

Especially Shen Qingqing, her palms were covered with sweat, and she looked closely at Xu Manyue.

"Qingqing and Xiaoshan both scored 80 points." Xu Manyue pursed her lips and announced the scores.

This time she set the full score to 100, with a total of twenty questions. The test was neither difficult nor easy.

Eighty points is considered high, not to mention that these two people have not been to school for several years.

If they both study hard, they can definitely get 90 points.

But there is only one spot, which means that one of the two has to give up.

The old lady was silent for a long time.

Seeing that no one was talking, Mrs. Shen's heart skipped a beat. She stepped forward and tugged at the old lady's arm, "Mom, Xiaoshan is your eldest grandson, the only boy in our family."

"He should be given this opportunity. Qingqing is the elder sister, she will definitely be willing to give in to her younger brother."

"Qingqing, don't you think so?" Mrs. Shen turned around and hurriedly pulled Shen Qingqing, wanting her to give up this opportunity.

Boss Shen sighed, "Qingqing, what do you think?"

"Think it over carefully, then talk to your grandma."

Shen Qingqing bit her lip and shook her head, "No, I don't want to."

Mrs. Shen's face was extremely ugly, and she was about to start cursing.

Lin Luoxia, who had been silent the whole time, suddenly interrupted her and said, "Sister-in-law, if Qingqing doesn't want to, forget it. You are being too unfair to the child."

"Since we adults can't make a decision, let the two children discuss it themselves."

"Mom, what do you think?" Lin Luoxia looked at the old lady again.

The old lady sighed and said, "How about this, draw lots, whoever draws the lot goes."

After she finished speaking, she took out a key from her body and placed it in front of everyone, "Qingqing, Xiaoshan, who will go first?"

Shen Qingqing and Shen Xiaoshan looked at each other and did not step forward.

Mrs. Shen pulled Shen Xiaoshan forward, "Xiaoshan, you go first."

Regardless of whether he won the lottery or not, the spot belonged to her son anyway. She didn't believe that the old lady would really let a girl go to school.

Shen Xiaoshan lowered his eyes and was about to start choosing, but suddenly, he withdrew his hand and looked up at Shen Qingqing, "Let her go first."

Mrs. Shen glared at her son fiercely, "What are you trying to do? You know she is your sister, and she doesn't treat you as her brother."

While she was speaking, Shen Qingqing walked up, hesitated for a moment, and chose the left hand.

The old lady's eyes fell on her, "Are you sure?"

Shen Qingqing hesitated again and was about to choose the right one, but after hesitating for a long time, she still chose the left hand.

"I am sure."

The old lady sighed and loosened her left hand. There was nothing inside.

Shen Qingqing's face turned pale and she couldn't help but take a few steps back.

The despair in her heart was like a tide, surging over her in waves and drowning her.

She didn't win the lottery, so she can't go to school.

Mrs. Shen instantly became excited and hugged Shen Xiaoshan, "Son, son, you can go back to school. In the future, our family will have a junior college student. When the time comes, you can marry a wife from the city. I will go to the city to take care of your wife and the child."

Boss Shen was also excited for once. He patted Shen Xiaoshan on the shoulder and said, "Good son."

The old lady withdrew her hand and said, "Okay, the result has been decided. The place for the study is Xiaoshan's."

Xu Manyue, who was standing next to the old lady, noticed the abnormality at the first moment.

No, there are no keys in either hand.

No matter what Shen Qingqing chooses, it will be wrong.

Xu Manyue felt very complicated, especially when she saw Shen Qingqing's distraught look. For a moment, she wanted to stand up and fight for her again.

Unfortunately, she couldn't, because the old lady was the one who made the decisions in the family.

At this moment, she also understood that if Shen Qingqing's score today was obviously higher than Shen Xiaoshan's, then the old lady would indeed choose her, but the problem was that their scores were the same.

Between grandson and granddaughter, the old lady finally chose the grandson.

Xu Manyue pursed her lips and looked up at the old lady.

At this moment, her attention was all on Shen Xiaoshan, and she didn't pay attention to anything else at all.

Xu Manyue sighed, just when she thought that things were settled and there would be no reversal.

Shen Xiaoshan suddenly said, "Grandma, I don't want to go to school. I want to stay at home and work with you."

As soon as these words came out.

The eyes of everyone in the Shen family fell on him.

Mrs. Shen was stunned. "What? You don't want to go to school?"

"are you crazy."

My third brother’s wife said that with his grades, as long as he studies hard for two years, he has a great chance of being admitted to a technical secondary school. After graduation, he will be assigned a job, at least as an office worker in the city.

There is no need to worry about household registration and food supply, and my wife and children are all from the city.

She didn't believe that her son was so stupid as to give up such a good opportunity that was hard to find even with a lantern.

Shen Xiaoshan ignored her and looked up at the old lady, "Grandma, come in, I have something to ask you."

The old lady was stunned for a moment, and she probably guessed what was going on. She glanced at Shen Qingqing, whose eyes were red from crying, and sighed inwardly.

"Come on, into the house, and no one of you is allowed to follow."

Soon, Shen Xiaoshan and the old lady came into the house.

Xu Manyue was a little surprised. It seemed that she was not the only one who saw what happened just now.

I don’t know if the result will change this time.

Lin Luoxia walked to Xu Manyue's side and spoke in a voice that only the two of them could hear, "Third sister-in-law, look, mother is so unfair, favoring boys over girls."

"This is so obvious, I guess Qingqing has guessed it."

As she spoke, she looked at Xu Manyue's bulging belly and suddenly changed the subject, "I don't know if the baby in your belly is a boy or a girl?"

Facing Lin Luoxia's undisguised scrutiny, Xu Manyue frowned slightly and turned sideways to avoid her sight. "Second sister-in-law, I'm tired. I'll go sit over there first."

Ever since she became pregnant, this man seemed to be particularly concerned about the gender of her unborn child. She would ask about it once or twice every now and then, and even brought up the old lady's preference for boys over girls.

Xu Manyue walked to Shen Qingqing's side, reached out and held her hand, and was about to speak to comfort her.

Suddenly, the old lady's door opened.
